INFORMATION
FARMING.
State Agricultural Department Re
plies to a Number of Inquiries.
Question.—Please advise me about
composting. For several years I have
composted my stable manure with cot
tonseed. chemicals, rich earth, etc., but
it is a heavy job and requires so much
extra work in handling that I have been
debating in my own mind whether some
other plan would not pay better. Re
cently my attention has been called to
articles in agricultural journals on this
subject, in which the writers say this
plan will soon become a thing of the
past. Do yon agree with this view, or
what would you advise?
Answer.—It is not advisable to han
dle a heavy article like manure any more
than is absolutely necessary, and where
it is possible to haul the manure directly
to the land, we have found that.it pays
better than the more costly plan of com
posting. But often the hauling cannot
be done, when in the busy season every
mule and farm hand is engaged in the
different crops. Under such circum
stances, rather than allow the manure
to accumulate in the stables, to the man
ifest injury of the animals, or to waste
it by throwing it in loose piles in the
stable yards, we would select wet days,
when it is not possible to work in the
fields, and put the manure .in compact
compost heaps, when its valuable con
stituents will be held until such time as
we can utilize them. Where a farmer
has a large number of cattle, which he
is feeding for market, which practice
is becoming quite extended since cotton
seed meal and hulls afford such a cheap
and certain means of fattening beeves,
it is a good plan, except in severe
weather, to pen the cattle directly on
the land to be improved. Near Atlanta
there are 25 acres of most magnificent
oats, sown the last of May, nearly ready
for cutting, which are a striking and
wonderful object lesson as to the wis
dom of this policy. The manure from

of fertility in the highest
beneficial to both land and
crop. The following on this sub
ject from Professor Massey is both op
portune and practical, and outlines an
economical plan not only for utilizing
farm manures, but for obtaining at a
comparative small cost, a part, at least,
of that expensive element, nitrogen,
which is an absolute essential to suc
cessful farming. Of course we cannot
expect to feed cattle enough to enrich
the entire farm each year, but by pur
suing this plan, even on a limited area,
one will be surprised at the results, in
the increased yield of crops:
“No matter how carefully the manure
is handled while in the stable or barn
yard there will be a constant loss, and
there is less of loss when it is spread on
the land than anywhere else. Let one
hauling do for the homemade, manure
and let that be to get it out and spread
it broadcast on the land where the corn
crop is to be planted. Then if the corn
is followed by a crop of winter oats, as
it should be in the cotton belt, there
will be found enough to carry the oat
crop through to success. Then after the
oats are cut give all the land a liberal
dose of the mineral plant foods that the
pea delights in—acid phosphate and pot
ash in the form of muriate of potash.
Spread this also broadcast, for the
broadcast rise of manures arid fertili
zers is what tends to the improvement
of the land, and its building dp for im^
proved crops. Then sow the land in
peas, and by the use of the previous
dressing of 300 to 400 pounds of the
phosphate and potash mixture you
should get a ersp of hay that will ena
ble you to feed more stock than ever
and thus raise more manure . to put out
broadcast.
“But what we especially wanted to
oppose was the laborious hauling of
earth, manure, cottonseeds and all sorts
of rubbish to make a pile, and to turn
and mix and pile and repile the mix
ture, thinking that by this process the
whole will become stable manure, is a
great waste of labor. If there are valu
able accumulations of wood and mould
handy, haul it and spread it on the land
and haul and spread the stable manure
and put your cottonseed down in a fur
row deep between the cotton rows,
where after it has rotted the cotton
roots will find it just when they need
it most—at fruiting time.
“Acid phosphate and potash, spread
broadcast on the land for a big crop of
peas, will leave nitrogen enough in the
land for the cotton that is to follow,
and you will need to buy, if anything,
only the same mineral fertilizers, while
the great crop of peavine hay will en
able you to feed more stock and to add
a profitable industry for the winter in
selling beeves or milk and butter.”—

What Should Farmers Do to Raise
Cotton at a Profit*?
Question.—I have seen the unjust
criticisms which have been spread
abroad in regard to the experiment car
ried on at the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion as to the cost of raising cotton. I
remember the manner in which yonr
words were at the time perverted, and
also the effort which has all along been
made to get political capital out of
what was really a most sound piece of
advice to farmers. This was six years
ago, and if this advice had been gener
ally heeded much of the subsequent
hardship consequent on the low price of
cotton would nave been avoided—in
deed I, with many others, believe that
the price of cotton would have been
maintained at a reasonable figure, be
cause, under your system, it would have
been impossible tg so overcrowd the
markets as to make our staple crop al
most valueless, as it has been, except to
cotton buver« and speculators. the
far have proven too much for us?
Answer.—My position on this ques
tion is the same today that it was six
years ago, namely, feat when a farmer
has inside ample arrangements to raise a
full supply of bread and meat for his
family and food for his cattle, mules
and other farm stock, then he is at lib
erty, and not until then, to cultivate in
cotton all the land which he can suc
cessfully manage. And just here I
would emphasize the fact that at pres
ent low prices no cotton crop can be a
success where it takes 3 acres of land to
make one bale of cotton. We must, by
a system of terracing, to hold the fer
tility of our lands, by deep plowing to
hold the moisture and to utilize hereto
fore unsuspected elements of plant food,
by planting renovating crops, by rota
tion and by manuring, intelligently
managed, change the results from acres
to the bale to bales to the acre. I am
aware that many, who have not studied
| this question, will maintain that this
: system is not justified by the ex-
I tremely low prices which have
; ruled during the past season, but
it is just here that the mistake
comes in. If by this careful and judi-
: cious management the yield can be
doubled or trebled, I am satisfied, from
observation and personal experience,
that instead of being a loser the farmer
will be a gainer and that instead of be
ing Extravagant it is the most econom
ical; as well as the most ‘ intelligent,
method that can be followed. The al
most universal practice of forcing a few
more pounds of cotton from our hard
run fields by the simple application of
100 or 200 pounds of commercial fertili
zer is bringing our lands to poverty and
our farmeas to want—State Agricult
