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? ^ ^ *
