By Roy E. Last, Junior, Prof of Agron.,
In Charge of Cotton Industry, Geor
gia State College of Agriculture
In the following table varieties of
cotton are given which are classified
as early maturing, according to the
yield of seed cotton obtained on the
College test farm at the first and sec
ond pickings combined, which was
5 1-2 months from date of planting.
Those classed as early produced at the
rate of 1,000 pounds or more per acre.
It Is interesting to note the distinct
correlation between early maturity
and early fruiting. In only one instance
was there a difference of more than
ten days in the appearance of the first
blooni on the varieties tested. As they
all began blooming l: .'tween July 1st
and July 10th and wore all picked cn
the same day, it is obvious that the
varieties which produced the most cot
ton at first picking set its fruit most
rapidly. A most striking difference in
this respect was shown between two
varieties, College No. 1 and Webber’s;
a variety which did not qualify as early
maturing, both of which produced
their first bloom July 3rd. Yet when
the first picking was made ten weeks
later, the former variety produced 907
pounds of seed cotton per acre, where
as the latter produced only 107 pounds.
In other words, College No. 1 produced
exactly 800 pounds more seed cotton per
acre at first picking than d!4 the other
named variety, although they both
started blcoming the same day. It is
not Impossible that some of the bolls
on the latter variety were partially
grown and not open on date of picking,
but if it had been true, it would be of
no advantage to the variety since it
would increase the chances of injury
from disease and insects, and would
be very objectionable from the farm- *
era’ standpoint since it would delay
picking until late in the season and
probably prevent the early destruction
of the stalks in the fall.
These facts are of incalculable value
to .fanners who are growing cotton in
the presence of the boll weevil, and
should be considered when choosing
the seed of a variety to plant under
these conditions. The table also shows
the percent of the total crop which
was matured at the time of the second
picking, 5 1-2 months from date of
planting.
TO USE FERTILIZERS MOST PROFITABLY
Fertilizers Supply One or More Plant Foods Without Which
, Crops Will Not Be Profitable. „
The ambition
of every farmer is
to make the larg
est crops possible
every year, and it
it his duty to
make them when
he can. fiut har
vests of large
crops remove
large quantitites
of plant food from
the soil. This de
crease of plant
food finally pre-'
J. C. PRIDMORE vents good yields.
Agronomist And unless some
provision is made for restoring and
then maintaining production, low
yields and unprofitable returns will
continue to be the result. One can
not draw money from a bank unless
he has friends there. Neither can the
Plant draw upon the soil and get the
necessary food elements if the soil
does not contain them.
Plan For Good Yields Every Year
Every farmer should adopt for his
land a system of farming that will
give him good yields continually year
after year. If this is done, -he must
feed the plants; for plants, like ani
mals, must feed to grow. While plants
require some ten or more elements
for their growth, all, except three,
are supplied in abundance in most
soils. The three elements not supplied
abundantly are nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash. All these are generally
deficient in mosf southern soils, and,
therefore, have to be supplied in some
commercial form ^to get profitatble
yields.
For a farmer to get the largest acre
returns from his investment in fer
tilizers, it is necessary for him to
know something of the conditions un
der which fertilizers may be used most
effectively^. He naturally asks; “Un
der what conditions will fertilizers
prove most profitable?’’
Fertilizers are used primarily to sup
ply one or more plant foods without
which crops will not be profitable.
But there are conditions other than
plant foods that may influence growth.
It is very necessary that good growing
conditions be provided for the plant
so that the fertilizer used may enable
the plant to grow most vigorously, and,
therefore, bring about the biggest
yields.
Vigorous Seed
The fundamental, good growing con
ditions making possible the most ef
ficient use of plant foods, are good
3eed, a good seed bed and good culti
vation.
All planting seed must have strong
vitality to germinate and grow rapidly.
Seed should also be of a variety adapt
ed to local conditions. Time and rate
of planting must be given attention,,
for either one of these may very ma
terially effect the yield of the crop.
Good Seed Bed
Conditions required in the soil for
best plant growth, and biggest acre
returns from fertilizers used, are a
good, well prepared, finely pulverized
seed bed. It should be mellow and
firm, so as to enable the roots to
penetrate freely and deeply jn search
of food and moisture, and to allow suf
ficient circulation of air. It should
be well drained. It should be well
supplied with organic matter, which
aids in absorbing and holding moisture
and improves the structure and tilth
of the soil. Good cultural methods
must be employed so as to destroy
weeds and retain soil moisture.
If the preceding conditions are sat
isfactory for plant growth, then, and
not till then, are crops able to make
the most efficient use of plant foods
within their reach. If any one of
these unfavorable conditions exist, a
plant cannot fully utilize the foods
supplied in fertilizers. Under good
growing conditions fertilizers are used
very profitably,, proof of which is fur
nished by thousands of farmers all
over the South. Fertilizers contain
genuine plant food, and, of course,
have a marked beneficial influence
when applied in sufficient quantity,,
and the-plants..are otherwise given a
fair chance. TJie question now Is,
Are you striving to so improve yeur
soil conditions that you may utilize
the value of fertilizer to the fullest
extent? ^
