TOBACCO GROWERS SHOULD
GIVE MORE THOUGHT TO
SOIL AND FERTILIZERS
By G. B. Eunice,
Agricultural Development Agent,
A. B. & A Railway
Tobacco growers throughout Geor
gia should give more consideration
to the type of soil on which they ex
pect to grow tobacco and the kind of
fertilizers to be used. These are prob
j ably the most important tobacco, things to be.
considered in growing as a
in either case may result in a
' total failure. No doubt sixty
per
of the- low grade tobacco, produced
last year was caused either by
selection of the wrong type of soil or
the use of improper fertilizer.
Farmers should bear in mind that
the best type of soil for tobacco in
Georgia is a light, sandy, or gray
soil, well-drained, with a yellow clay
aub : soM ~ alw * ys avoiding a red
,la, ' k st ' ff / 0 ‘,’ or » 80,1 w,tb a Kreat
i amoun ^ °‘ r(,< ‘ pebbles, as these types
of soil will make coarse or honey
bacco that will cure real dark or red,
i | which is undesirable.
Tobacco should never follow

peas as up
nitrogen in the. soil in a form that
will prolong the growing period, and
ver ' V °^ en W *H n °t ripen at all, re
sultinK * n a total loKS to the
iS imp08Hible t0 make a desirable
grade out of a coarse green tobacco.
Some commercial fertilizers have
the same effect on tobacco as cow
peas and velvet beans. This is true
with most any fertilizer that carries
too high a per cent, of ammonia; es¬
pecially is this true when all the am¬
monia is derived from one ingredient
and the nitrogen in it becomes avail¬
able very slowly.
A good fertilizer for tobacco is an
8-3-3, applied at the rate of 800 to
1,000 pounds per acre, Ammonia
should be derived from at least three
sources; one per cent, cotton seed
meal, one per cent, sulphate ammo¬
nia, and one per cent, dried blood is
good. The source of potash should al¬
ways be derived from sulphate of pot¬
ash, as murate of potash or kanit con¬
tains chlorine, which has a tendency
to make tobacco burn poorly, and is
objectionable to the large tobacco
manufacturers.
Never use nitrate of soda as it
causes tobacco to remain green too
long and will not cure properly.
Fertilizer for tobacco should be ap
plied in the row at least one week be
fore time for transplanting, as this
gives better results. Mix the fertili
] zer thoroughly with the soil by run
J j ning a plow through it before it is
bedded, and in no case should a sec¬
ond application of fertilizer be con¬
sidered, as this will generally cause
your tobacco to take a second growth,
which prevents it from curing uni¬
formly. Fertilizer under tobacco
should be practically exhausted by
the time the tobacco begins to mature
in order that it may ripen properly.

NEWS OF JOE
i
The local basket ball team defeat
j the Georgia Military College on
the local court last Wednesday by a
score of 29 to 4. The feature of the

jrame was

game was never a doubt for the locals
had placed the pill in the goal five
j times, giving college them a score of ten, be
fore the boys could get set.
It was due to the good teamwork
| that the locals rolled up such a score.
But the stars for the locals were
Wilson, and Albert Evans, he
passing up and down the court with
the greatest facility, dodging the col
lege players with utmost ease and
j darting in and around the basket and
getting clear shots that resulted in

\ The G. M. C. out-fit was a charac-
teristic college five, at the beginning
of the game playing with all energy
and vivacity that they could muster.
They never slackened up regardless
of how the score stood. Ingram was
the star for G. M. C. having one field
goal to his credit.
The subject of the contest debate
which will be in f lawkinsvil le on
March 25 is, “Resolved; that Georgia
should have the power to impose an

COOLIDGE TELLS NEGROES
OF AID GIVEN BY SOUTH
)
Atlanta, Jan. 31. — That the white
people of the south have done more
for them than the people of any other
section, and that they should appreci¬
ate this fact, was the statement made
hy Vice President-elect Calvin Cool
idge Saturday night, wnen he ad¬
dressed an audience of approximate¬
ly 1,000 negroes at the First Congre¬
gational church.
He said that although there are in
Massachusetts many persons who
have the welfare of the negro race at
heart, and who have no? only contrib¬
uted funds whereby institutions for
the betterment of the negro race
have been erected, but have come to
the south as teachers and uplift work
ers among tjiem, but the white people
of the south have done much more for
them, and that the negroes should ap¬
preciate this fact.
The progress made oy the negro
race since their liberation from slav¬
ery was commended by the speaker.
He expressed approval of the manner
in which negroes had responded to
the draft at the opening of the world
war.
In closing his remarks he advised
them to so live their lives that they
would develop the best qualities of
their race, to do their duties conscien¬
tiously, and to co-operate with ef¬
forts made in their behalf.
