News Given By

Week. f
NOTIFICATION OF
FARMERS PROMISED
WHEN RECEIVED
Advises Liberal Use of Ni
trate of Soda For
Corn.
The weather looks now as if it is
going to let us plant some cotton
and still we have no allotments. (
However all the information for the
county is in Athens and we expect t
to get some idea as regards our al- I
lotments the last of this week and
not later than early next week.
The local cour.ty committee spent
iwc days in Athens recently getting I
all the information pertaining to i
Newton County farms into proper
shape and they were told that al- * I
lotments should be made to the
county this week. As we stated last
week the day the allotments reach i
0Ur office we will mail each pro
Queer the acreage given to his farm,
So it is no t necessary, to make en
q U j ry at our office.
In our limited travels over the ,
county recently we have seen some
n j Ce R e id s of winter legumes. The
Austrian peas and Hairy Vetch are l
mak i ng ra pid growths and should be
turned under as soon as the ground
is dry enough. Most of the Crimson
Clover f ie id s will be used for seed
pa tches and of course cannot oe

The
does not recommend applying com
plete fertilizers to corn. They think
eorn on bottom land should probably
have some Acid Phosphate and Pot
ash but upland corn on land that
I haa been previously planted to cot
ton or some 0 ther crop on which
j liberal amounts of complete ferti
lizers were used should have only
Nitrate fertilizers applied. They rec
ommend applying at least 36 pound*
of N i tr0 gen per acre. This would re
quire 2 25 pounds of Nitrate of Soda
per acre This is more than twice
fhe amount we generally apply to
our corn probably we should try
an acre or so just to see if our soil
reS p 0nds to the recommendation
made by the Experiment Station
findings.
The State yield of corn is 10.5
bushels per acre and the average
j cost of production pier acre is ovei
I $12.00. This means that on an averags
j it costs Georgia farmers more than
$1.00 per bushel to produce corn.
The only way to reduce the cost
per bushel is to increase the yield
and reduce fertilizer costs. Plant
ing on good land and liberal ferti
lization will increase the yield per
acre and thus reduce the bushel ccst.
! Let's have plenty of corn at lower
production costs.
We have seen some wheat in the
COU nty that has prospects of 30
bushels per acre and some oat fields
that look now as if they could pro
duce more than 50 bushels per acre.
The recent rains and warm weather
has been a great help to grain. High
yields 0 f oats per acre will make the
cheapest enea P e5 '' mule u,e feed lccu of all our feed
crops.
Plant the sorghum patch early so
it will be ready to make into syrup
before cctton picking time Make
the patch a little larger than usual
and plant near the hog lot and mule
barn. Hogs and mules will do w*U
on sorghum after layby time.
If your hogs are in a small pen
make your plans to place them in a
pasture with running water and
plenty of grazing. You will be sur
prised to find that hogs will thrive
on good pasture with little if anv
extra feeding. Our meat costs us
too high due to' the fact that we have
to carry all the feed to our hogs.
Put some hog wire around the cow
pasture and turn the hogs in with
the cows.
' Newton County will be represented
in the Fat Cattle Show in Atlanta
April 19 and 20. The show and said
will be at the cattle barns on Marietta
Street. Go up and see some good
Georgia Beef Cattle.
