Question. —Please tell me the kind of
Inn’ll lest suited to ground peas, and
give mo a formula for a good fertilizer.
Is compost or lot manure good for this
crop ?
Answer.— The best land for ground
peas h a sandy loam with a good supply
of lime present. If this last element'is
wanting the crop will be a failure. If
the land lacks lime, supply it at the rate
of 20 to 40 bushels to the acre—the
larger quantity if the land has plenty of
vegetable matter. This last is a very
important adjunct to a successful crop,
aud one reason that our crops of ground
peas are not larger, is that we attempt
to raise them on land that has heart
cropped and recropped until the humus
is all, or nearly all, exhausted. They
require besides lime, potash and
phosphoric acid nitrogen also, and it
is well for (hat reason to plant ground
peas after cowpeas, or in gathering tho
crop of ground peas, if the tops
are not otherwise utilized, to re¬
turn them to the land to be
plowed under, as they contain a large
proportion of (he nitrogen used in the
growth of the plant. The lime should
be applied broadcast before planting
aud well-worked into the soil by the
harrow or cultivator. Lot manure or
compost may be used. It should, how¬
ever, be thoroughly decomposed. The
green or fermenting manure is not de¬
sirable. The following formula has
beeu found effective:
Cottonseed Meal............300 pounds
Acid Phosphate . .100 pounds
Kainit......... . .250 pounds
This quantity to he applied to each
aero.
If lime is needed and it is found im¬
practicable to apply broadcast, the fol¬
lowing is recommended:
Acid Phosphate .1,009 pounds
Muriate Potash. . 300 pounds
Nitrate Soda .. . 209 pouuds
Sulphate Lime. 300 pounds
Making a ton of. 3,000 pounds
To be applied at the vato of 300 or 300
pounds per acre.
Barnyard Alannrc 3,000 pounds
Cottonseed Meal........... 150 pounds
Kainit ........ 100 pounds
Phosphoric Acid 50 pouuds

Question.— Would you advise plaiit
ing fruits, etc., to ihe exclusion of
standard eropl?
Answer.— Your question suggests a
train of sober reflection. The success of
fruit culture in Georgia might lead one
to suppose that with our advantages of
soil and climate, fortunes might be
easily realized iu an occupation so pleas¬
ant, and known in individual instances,
to bo so profitable. But iu farming, as
indeed in all other occupations, it has
been proven again aud again that all
extremes are hurtful. That farmer is
safest, who adheres to the “happy me¬
dium” of diversified crops. Our sur¬
roundings make it comparatively easy
to raise a great variety of crops, and we
Would not advise the cultivation .of any
one crop, be it corn or cotton or grain or
fruits, to the entire exclusion of all oth¬
ers. To make our meat and bread and
clothes, there must be corn and cotton
and hogs raised on our farms, and were
farmers to any great extent to abandon
these for fruits or vegetables or any
otlior single crop, the consequence
would bo markets overstocked, ruinously
low prices and utter disappointment.
As Wo liavo so often urged, the success¬
ful handling of these minor crops im¬
plies not only a thorough familiarity
with tho best plans of culture, but a
study of systems of packing and trans¬
portation, as well ns of the markets
themselves. It is sad to see the results
of weeks and months of painstaking
labor clumped into tho sea, because
shipped to markets already glutted.
This has been repeatedly the case with
fruits aud vegetables shipped without
a previous study of the state of supply
and demand at different points, and the
produce being in its nature perishable,
tho mistake once made is irrevocable
and irremediable. If we would succeed
we must not trust “all our eggs to one
basket.” It would seem that the all
wise Creator, when He gave us such a
wide range of soil and climate, intended
that we should utilize them to the best
advantage, by that wise system of di¬
versity of crops which will insure all
that we need. The cultivation of fruits
aud vegetables should undoubtedly form
a part of the stated work on every farm,
but should be judiciously blended with
other work.—State Agricultural Depart¬
ment.
Keeping: Kainit.
Qn stion. —Can kainit be kept for
am* length i>f time without loss of its
v aluable propert ies?
Answer.— If the kaiuit is kept dry,
it loses very httle if any of its fertilizing
properties. The objection to keeping it
is that it is liable to harden into lumps,
and before it can be used it becomes
necessary to crush it by rolling or
pounding, as ir cannot be properly ap
piie.l in that condition.—State Agri
cultural Department.
FERTILIZER FOR CORN.
Conclusion* Which Have Been Derivod
From Experiments anil Experience.
Question. — I havo my com land
well and deeply broken, and have cot¬
tonseed meal, phosphate and pota-ih to
use as a fertilizer. In what prop rtioas
would you advise me to mix these, and
is it absolutely necessary to mix-before
applying? What is the best plan of
cultivation?
Answer. — Without some knowl¬
edge of the mechanical condition aud
quality of your land, aud its previous
cultivation, as well as the crops which
have been grown on it, it is a difficult
matter to advise you intelligently. .We
can only give in a general
elusions which have been derived 'froiii
experiment aud experience. As' a mlo,
on the majority of farming lauds iii
Georgia, we may apply the three ele¬
ments of nitrogen, phosphoric acid aud
potash iu about the proportions which
an analysis of the plant calls for, but
commercial fertilizers are not the best
form from which to obtain the highest
results in corn growing. Iu proportion,
as the land has been thoroughly culti¬
vated hud highly manured for other
crops, the amount of nitrogen may he
reduced. The best preparation for a
corn crop is a highly manured and well
cultivated cotton crop, and after stablo
manure, the best form of nitrogen has
beeu found to be cottonseed. In all
reports of exceptionally heavy yields in
corn, it is fouild that the land has boon
very deeply broken and subsoiled, some¬
times to the depth of 24 inches. This
would seem to indicate that moisture,
perhaps, more than fertilizers, exercises
a controlling influence iu the yield. The
following make good mixtures: Acid
phosphate, 800 pounds; kainit, 800
pounds; cottonseed meal, 400 pounds;
or ad id phosphate, 90) pounds; cotton¬
seed meal, 900 pounds; muriate of potash,
60 pouuds. These may be applied sepa¬
rately, or mixed, before putting in tho
planting furrow—except that the quan¬
tity of muriate of potash being small—
its distribution might bo more uniform
if mingled with the other ingredients
toforo applying. In either case open
the planting furrows with a shorn!, and
if the amount per acre is to be moder¬
ate, drill it all into this opening furrow,
following with a long, narrow scooter
to thoroughly mix it with tho sail. Bed
on this, aud before planting, run a
smoothing harrow up aud down the
beds. Then open the planting furrow
iu the middle of the bed and dv.ap two
or three grains of selected corn (good
seed is very important), every 3 or 3 feet,
that is if the rows are more than 4 feet
apart. If the laud will bear it, make
your rows 4 feet apart and drop the corn
the same distance. The first two work¬
ings can be vex-y profitably done with
tho harrow, the first just as the plants
begin to peep from the ground, and the
second after they are well up. If the
harrow is directed diagonally across the
second time in the opposite direction
from the first no injury to tho nlauts
will result, and the incipient weeds and
grass will be destroyed even before they
appear. This will also prevent the for¬
mation of a crust and save much ’ un¬
necessary hoeing. All after cultivation
should be exceedingly shallow, never
more than 1 inch, using plows which
require the fewest trips to the row, re¬
peating the work at least every two
weeks until the corn begins to “buuch”
for tasselHng. It should then bo laid
by. The time to sow peas broadcast, as
a renovating crop, is at the last plow¬
ing.—State Agricultural Department.
Flowing- Corn tlie First Time.
plow Question.—I the s first it injurious time? I to havo corn to
deep not
been able to prepare my land as thor¬
oughly as I would like, aud I want your
advice as to which would be best; to
break it out thoroughly the first time,
or give it entire surface culture?
Answer —If you will examine the
roots of very young corn you will find
that they extend out a considerable dis¬
tance very near tho surface. This hor¬
izontal growth will be found, to con¬
tinue for a considerable distance before
they begin to sink deeper into the soil.
Therefore deep plowing at first must
necessarily cut some of th^ small roots,
but if the land has beeu poorly prepared,
or is of the stiff quality, which has beeu
by heavy rains after preparation,
we should certainly take the risk of
deep plowing the first time. The root
pruning is certainly less injurious at
that period than later on. Iu doing this
work lie careful not to throw too much
dirt to the young corn. The old plan of
“hilling up the corn,’’ causes it to throw
out a set of roots prematurely. A little
soil sifted iu at "each successive working
is desirable aud beneficial; anything
more than that is injurious.—State Ag¬
ricultural Department.
much to apply per acre.
Answer. —It has beeu found that
sweet potatoes require a good deal of ni
trogen and potash, aud not as much
phosphoric acid as good was once thought to
be necessary. A mixture would
be 200 pounds acid phosphate, 300 pounds
cottonseed meal and 500 pounds kainit.
The amount to be used to the acre de
pends upon tho character of the land
upon which you wish to apply it. On
well prepared land, full of humus or
vegetable matter, 1,000 pounds of the
above mixture conl« be used with profit,
On lands only moderately supplied with
humus, a much less quantity should be
used, and oil thin land devoid of luuuus
200 pounds of the above mixture would
be ample.—State Agricultural Depart*
