Rotation of Crops Has
I Important Effect On
i Farm Fertilizer Needs
Largely as a result of the agricul
tural adjustment programs which
have been in effect in recent years,
cropping practices are undergoing im
portant changes in the southern states.
During the past ten years the acre
age in the long established cash crops
has shown a downward trend, 'while
food and feed crops have made sub
stantial increases. More attention is
being given each year to restoring and
maintaining soil fertility, and system
atic plans of crop rotations are prob
ably being followed to a greater ex
tent now than at any period in the
South’s history.
Changes in crop plans are being ac
companied by widespread revisions in j
methods of fertilization. Winter leg
umes are new to many farmers and
they are aiding greatly in building up
the soil and controlling erosion, but
when they are followed by cotton it is
being found that a different fertilizer
is needed. Since the cover crops add
only nitrogen, experiment stations
have found that more potash and
phosphate is needed to balance it prop
erly, and unless this is done the cotton
is likely to rust and fail to yield up to
expectations.
The increase in the acreage planted
to hay crops is also creating a prob
lem due to the fact that these crops
are usually removed from the land
thereby taking off large quantities of
plant food. While these crops are us
ually referred to as soil building, they
become among the most depleting
When utilized for hay, and when re
move increase amounts of both potash
and phosphorous are essential for the
succeeding crops.
A large acreage is being planted to
peanuts in most of the southern
states and where they are harvested
by grazing they are regarded as soil
building crops. However when the
entire plant is taken off the average
crop removes as much potash as is ap
plied in three years to cotton at nor
mal rates. -For this reason farmers in
peanut areas usually use not only a
high potash mixture for cotton, but
also generally side dress with potash.
CURB LIQUOR ADS, IS
WARNING—
Liquor dealers- in Pennsylvania have
been warned by Governor Arthur H.
James to exercise restraint in adver
tising intoxicants if they wish to pre
vent an impending revulsion of pub
lic sentiment on the “we-dry” issue,
according to a news bulletin issued
locally by the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union.
“‘There has been a constant ten
dency on the part of liquor people,
especially whiskey people, to advertise
their wares in whole pages and some
times in whole sections of newspap
ers and magazines. It is about time
they began thinking for themselves
and to clean house, or there may be
such a revulsion of feeling that it
will be disastrous to them. It looks
as if it were ripe for a house clean
ing.”
j Thus the Governor is quoted in The
j Union Signal, the bulletin says.
