Fertilizing Growing Crop
is
DOES IT PAY?
J- N. Harper,
Soil Improvement Committee, Atlanta, Georgia.
Side applications of fertilizers to
the growing crops as a supplement to
a first application made at seeding
time is quite widely practiced in the
South.
The writer recently obtained from
county agents the names of leading
farmers of North and South Carolina
who make a bale or more of cotton
per acre. These farmers were ad
dressed a letter and asked, among
other things, to tell how they fertll-
ized their cotton, ^n these answers
a large proportion report that they
make side applications of fertilizer.
A few of these reports that are typb
cal of the rest are given herewith:
i Mr. Jno. C. Fletcher, McColl, S. C
l Kind of soil: “Light loam with clay
subsoil.”
i Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “Use about 1,400 lbs. per
acre; half applied just before planting
and the other half about June 15th.”
Mr. B. D. Mann, Enfield, N. C.
Kind of soil: “Sandy loam and
heavy loam to gray stiff soil.”
Fertilizer used and method of ap-
plying. “From 600 to 1,000 lbs. per acre
of an 8-3-3. At time of planting use
from 400 to 600 lbs., about June 1st
when cotton is chopped out make an
other application of 400 lbs.”
Mr. Fred H. Young, Timmonsville, S. C.
Kind of soil: “Sandy loam with
clay subsoil.”
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “900 to 1,000 lbs. of fertilizer
used. April 1st apply 500 lbs. of fer
tilizer, ridging' on same and planting
about ten days later. Fertilizer ap
plied in three applications.; 500 lbs.
before planting; about May 1st, an
other application of 600 lbs.; and still
another application of 200 to 250 lbs.
Juuo 1st.”
Mr. B. F. Shelton, Speed, N. C.
Kind of soil: “Norfolk loam, or
dark gray soil.”
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “800 lbs. of a 9-5-2 used per
acre (during normal times an 8-4-4).
Half of fertilizer applied in drill at
time of planting; the other half when
cotton is 6 to 6 inches high.”
Mr. A. G. Clarkson, Wateree, S. C.
Kind of soil: “Ruston loam.”
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “1,500 lbs. of a fertilizer an
alyzing 10<;« phosphoric acid, 3%
nitrogen, and no potash. Apply two-
thirds. of fertilizer at time of prepar
ing the land and one-third in May or
June."
Mr. S. P. Winburne, Como, N. C.
Kind of soil: “Light loam.”
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “GOO lbs. per acre of a 10-5-0
(during normal times 700 lbs. of an
8-4-4). Apply fertilizer and stable
manure in drill before planting. Ap
ply one-third of fertilizer as a side
application when plants are about
knee high;”
Mr. HI. A. Monroe, Cameron, N. C,
Kind of soil:' "Gravelly sandy loam
with clay subsoil.”
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “600 to 800 lbs. of fertilizer
per acre used. Part applied at time
of preparing the land, and 200 to '300
lbs. applied as side dressing before
blooms appear.”
Mr. F. H. Waller, Kingston, N. C.
Kind of soil: “Gray sandy soil.”
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “800 lbs. per acre of a 10-4-8.
Apply fertilizer in drill about ten days
prior to planting. Side dress one or
two times about June 20 and July 10.”
Mr. W. F. Peterson, Clinton, S. C.
Kind of soil: “Dark gray.” .
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “400 lbs. when rows are
laid off; 250 lbs. as side application
at second plowing after chopping, and
250 lbs. as another side application
when plants are knee high.”
Side Applications to Cotton.
At the time the cotton plant is In
full bloom ample plant food must be
available or else a large percentage
of the squares will shed. While there
are other factors that cause shedding,
for example, a lack of a proper amount
of moisture; still, it has been proven
that even with the most favorablo j
moisture conditions, a lack of plant j
food is the potent cause of this j
trouble.
Under boll weevil conditions, the
fertilizer used in side applications
should contain a high percentage of
phosphoric acid and a rather low per
centage of nitrogen. This fertilizer
has the effect of forcing the young j
bolls to quick growth and early ma
turity. / I
Side Applications to Corn.
While it usually pays to make a
larger side application of fertilizer for
cotton than for corn, still, many of
the best farmers in the Southeast
advocate liberal side applications for
