THE COTTON PROBLEM.

of 1 i —Coin intSSto iter's A newer.
Qlt. mi ,on\— -Please tell me why, if I

would run auy risk in putting every
p< a-a/Ac acre in cotton, after I have
nii e |;rovisi,tn for ample supplies for
b hicjciuHnraptiou? I see a great deal
< ” uil; ab int reducing tho cotton area,
and I; mu understand that if a uinu has
to buj supplies, or to curtail his pro
vision crops iu.grdef to put in a big cot
ton er ,p, Jie is working on a wrong ba
sis, hot when he takes neither of these
riski 1 don't see hew ho would make a
mistake wiling in every acre pos
sible ifi cotton.
Answer. —Your question touches at
the ve ry root %f this cotton problem. If
a iuhU hai taken tiie precautions you
mention, be has a right to put in every
acre ojf cotton which lie can property
cultivate. Bat just hefe is the diffi
culty.) There are hundreds and tlion
samlsjof acres of laud devoted to cotton
each jjeur, whWi do not pay tin; cost of
production, and. in prop' rtloii as the
bales linado on these acres go to swell
tho general crop and thus reslu -e the
average price, they, to that extent, iu
crea.-y the burden which their cultiva
tion iljnpi*f. . In the spring, the season
of In lie, tho farmer is too apt to ovor
estimi/te his own al>ilitv and the fertil
ity-otf! liis land, and when too late, he
find* f nrurdf ov •••• .rued n>v’ connnit
ted t the cultiviltioil of acret, which
had fur better have been left wile, or
put in sorxe renovating crop. Band
which, with the aid of Commercial fer
tilize!, will prbducc only six or eight
bushels of corn, and less than a half
bole of cotton to tiie acre, will not pay
nt present prices, or even if prices rule
. higher. Some time ago we pub’jshc''
the results of certain experiments, show
ing that in proportion as the yield to
each acre was increased, the c</st
was reduced, and consequently tiie
BFiJlt, thill, liiolv a. —.jut**!, Li
fho contest for the prize acre or
corn, the premiflra off*'re l by tho At
lanta Constitution was awarded to the
man who produced 17i!W bushels ou one
acre at a cost of s').7o. TKie average
yield in Georgia is 11. bushels per acre,
and fho average cost is about $5.00.
Tho conclusion is obvious. If tlm addi
tional $-1.70. which is ttte-dilToreiiee be
tween $0.70 and $5.00, produced such a
vast increase, purely it was a good in*
vrytmont. llut in all probability this
did not repriKv.it the eut-ira investment.
No doubt tne land had been brought
into a receptive condition bv a system
of gradual improvement aud deep plow
ing, which enabled it to respond to tho
heavy application of fertilizers. If wo
select our land cmefnUy, prepue it
deeply and thoroughly ami rot.it i our
crops, using the Ifgume# as imiovaturr,
we may liy 1 ho'application of all tho
farm yard manure we au> ob’.e to make
and the use of potash nu-1 phorphates
in combiutviipn with t’m legu aiuous
crops, graithally 1 ling there lands to
the point of proiitabio prodneti.m. Wo
eevtaitily and i hot advise that a man plant
liis bind indiscriminately m cotton sim

COTTONSEED FOR PIGS.
A Series of Kxpor.im-m* That It Will
Produce SieUausn uud Dealh
Question 4. —If 1 cooked cottonsoed
meal, or tho whole seed, would it not
then bo good food for pigs ?
Answer' 4.—ln Bulletin 21 of the
Texas Experiment Station, there is re
ported the results of a sories of experi
ments in feeding pigs with cottonseed,
and tho conclusion reached, is, that no
matter how prepared, Whether boiled
or roasted, cattouseod fed to pigs will
produce sickness and death. The fettle 1
sond was a little less injurious thau the
roasted, tho latter being almost as fatal
As the raw meal. Tho cottonseed was
not fed alouo, but formed only a part of
the ration. In from ax to'eight weeks
tho first symptoms of .sickness appeared,
the animals became dull uud moping,
aud lost appertte. In 1$ to lid hours
they became rest loss, staggering in their
gait, breathiug labored, sight defective
skin showing ro.l.Ush iudarnatiou. Tlie
fatal cases all gh rwod "thumps”—spas
modic breathiug. Finally tlm animals
dropped

: uaunußes wS: if I Srete gs wefl'”ttpif t "to
keen from fill!ag over—ulnmst always
with evldo-.icos of acute iuterual pain.
At death a quantity of bloody foam
comes from nrmth aud nostrils. Those
pigs wore fo 1 by tiro side of pigs that
had ooru instead of cottonseed, and tho
pigs fed on corn remained perfectly
healthy. Btato Agricultural Depart

Question 7.—1 would liko to know
the fertUizi.ig elements in uuleueh'sl
wood ushew, jfcrkiached hickory ushes,
cottmiKoed meal aud aei.l phosphate.
In burning kmiV's or dead animals, what
plant food, if any, is lost ?
Answer 7.— Uulenchod oak and hick
ory uslioi probably vary but little in
composition. They contain, when pure,
from 3 to 7 per cent potash, and 1 to 9
per cout phosphoric acid. Cotton need
meal contain! from sto 7 per cout ni
trogen, 1 to lfu por cent phosphoric
acid, and 1 to percent of potash,
acid phosphuto, from 10 to 16 per cent
phosphoric acid. In burning bones or
dead animals, wo lose all the nitro
gen which they contain, but we retain
oil tho mineral elements. Burning such
materials, therefore, is a wasteful
method for making them available ns
fertilizers. Tho better plan 1* to com
post tho dead animal* with muck or
stable manure, cutting them up if large.

Question 10.—What kiuds of straw
berries shall I plant ou a light gaudy
■oil, with clay subsoil? I would profur

Answeb 10.—Sharpless, Bnbaeh aud
Triomphe de Grand are all good varie
ties, aud will succeed if you will fertil
ize your laud heavily w'itli stable ma
nure aud ashes, and pat it in good order
by deej) plowing and thorough harrow

ffarded only as a mulch, lntt is au simu
late injury to the land wlna you have
to plow it under, scorning to reader the
laud sour lor some time afterwards.
Where it can be obtained, piuestraw or
any other straw makes a much m >ro de
sirable mulch, as it soon rott, and w!oji
plowed under aids nr.v i t > the fertility

that yon aim mistaken as to her having

U Kalnit anil f’t>tah.
Question o.—l have soirla fresh land
between two ponds. I have planted it
three years in cotton; it does not exactly
rust, but sheds loaves and forms dry up
some. lum thinking of using. kuinit
on it. What quantity per acre ought to
bo used, and how applied, alone or with
ftcidy The laud makes plenty of weed.
Is there any objections to using salt
with compost composed of lot manure,
cottonseed and acid phosphate?
Answer 9.— Your laud being between
two ponds would indicate, perhaps,
that there is too much water in the soil
for cotton. Oould the* ponds be drained,
or at least considerably lowered, the soil
would probably be remedied. If the in
jury results from a saturated subsoil,
the application of kalnit will not remedy
it. If caused by a deficiency of potash
i:i the soil, the remedy is plain. To
ouch neve use 50 pounds of kalnit mixed
with 150 pounds of potash. Should this
application produce a marked improve
ment in the condition of tiie cotton this
year, you may feel sure that the trouble
has boon caused by a deficiency of pot
ash in the soil, and next year increase
the kuinit. There is no objection, but
decided advantage in using salt in the
C' impost heap. Tho compost, though,
41mt yon prop we to mnko, will be defi
cient in p >tah, and I would recommend
the addition of kuinit to make it a com
