Cowpea Meal as a Fertilizer.

Nitrate of Soda.
W !•■ Gibson, Winston. <la. How is ni
trite of soda applied to crops—how- distrib
! uted?
Nitrate of soda is applied as a top-lress
' Ing to small grain ami gra-ss, in th- spring,
say in March and April, or after Hie plants
commence to grow freely. It* is usual to
apply *t just Im fore a rain, but it may be
d->ne shortly after a rain, after the plant
foliage dries off. just as well. Tin* nitrate
Is perfectly soluble and dissolves and sinks
into the soil in a few hours; and the ’ lllect
is manifest in a few days in the deepened
color and Improved vigor of the plants.
On ordinary cultivat- <1 crops such as corn,
cotton, potatoes, etc., it may be either
applied in the siding furrows or dropp’d
on the surface near the growing plants
and worked in with plow, hoe or rake it
la especially adapted for use in tile kitchen
or flower garden, around tomato, cabbage,
melon or other plants.
<m email grain and grass (not clover)
' from sft to 100 pounds per acre is the
usual Jose; certainly not mor- than I'M
pounds at any one time; but a smaller ap
plication may be made within three or
four weeks.
Nitrate of soda Is one of the very few
fertilizing substances that may be profita
bly applied after a crop has commenced to
grow. It is especially valuable and con
-1 lenient In the kitchen garden and among

CANT AFFORD IT.
Interesting Hints to Farmers—Some
Things He Can’t Afford.
When farm products are low In price
and business generally has been suffering
from depression, all occupations act and
react upon < ach other. The farmer ceases
to be- the liberal buyer of the products of
others that lie is when the prices he is
receiving for his own are satisfactory, and
those in other pursuits, finding the demand
forth ir oi»,n labors declining, become in
turn less liberal piiren.users of the prod
ucts of the farm. Systematic economy as
expressed in the words “can’t afford it.”
then be *omes the rule. It is w is- economj
for the individual, although the general
practice ink nsilles th • i ecesslty for il on
tlio pari of the whole community. It grows
by what it feeds on. The farmer finds
that he can't afford to build the addition
to his house that the family have b> en
com -mplating. The n w parlor carpet has
to be p. -tp iii’-l another yen Mary can
not have her m w piano, nor Johnny his
bicvcl". New- machines believ’d io b<»
m*< d- d on the farm must wait and new
outbuildings that would be advantageous
to the work mu. t keep them company.
“Can't ass >rd it" stifles many a generous
impulse an 1 n<*< e-’sitates many a piece of
self-deni il. I.i speli limes a few farmers
even doubt wh< tlier tin y can afford their
wgriculiural pap r. We have our own

PLENTY OF PEACHES
Everythiig Points to a Magnificent
Crop This Year.
LIGHT SHOWERS REPORTED
These Have Bad a Benificial Effect.
Cotton and Corn Doing
Well.
Indications point to a magnificent fruit
crop in Georgia this year.
Hundreds of acres have been planted la
fruit trees and there will be no limit to the
supply of peach*, s that will roll into market
during the next few months.
Corn has taken a good stand and cotton
has made a tine beginning. Garden patches
are doing well and reports from all parts
of the state are most encouraging.
Captain George E. Hunt, the director of
the station, has issued the following bulle
tin:
"Hefreshing show- rs and lower tempera
tures set in on the 24th, ending tiie unusual
drought ami excessively hot W’iltt:er whicil
had prevailed for s- v-r.il vve. i; N-nly
all crops and vegetation were at a stand
still. and beginning to seriously suffer for
moisture. Cotton seed lay in tiie gr >un-l
with little sign of germinating; oats were
wilted and corn had about ceased to grow.
All this is now greartjy chang’d fur the
better, and wnile more rain is needed, some
sections having bet n skipped by the show
ers, the outlook is decidedly more encour
aging. Cotton is coming up and planting,
w hi< h has in a great measure been dis
continued, oti account of the extreme dry
ness of the ground, has been resumed,
and is being rush’d to a finish. Corn is
generally a. good stand. Is being cultivab -1
and though small has received no 1 isting
cheek to its growth. Gar tens are b-gin
ning to revive am! there is every prospect
for a heavy yield of fruits of all kinds.
Spring oats have probably suffer- d greater
Injury than any other crop. Fall oats and
wheat continue promising, an i sugar cine
is looking well.
North Section.
"The past week in tl” northern counties
of the state has, on the whole, b’ • n very
favorable to farm work and to growing
crips, and as a eomequence the tanners
of north Georgia are happy. The outlook
is a little belter than it was one vv. -*k a.* i.
The drought lias be--n broken by light but
rest -shing showers, and all vegetation ha *
taken on new life. However, m- r-* rain
is m eded to insure best r- suits. Most of
the cotton is in tile ground and it is com
ing up to fairly good stands. It is exp-ct’d
that cotton chopping will begin during the
coming week. Tin re s some cotton yet
to plant on account of th* ground having
been too hard to plant. Wheat, rye and
oats are growing tine. Wheat aid oats
are beginning to head out. Meadows ami
elover, where rain occiti r- d, are i:i good
condition, and potato slips are being set
out. t'eas, as a r-eupei ativ- crop, are
now doing nicely. Low land corn is being
planted, t l ir.lens and all minor crop- nr
gnatly refreshed and benefit 'd by tin- re
cent showers. Fruit pro p-ets s ill con
tinue fine.
Central Section.
"The prolong- d drought which had pre
vailed for several w-eks in the i- 'iitral
counties, was hr k-*n by showers during
the past week, and the Weather, which h id
lieen exceedingly hot, chang’ d to cool- r.
While the greater portion of the cotton
crop lias been planted, some f irm r haw
not finished yet, but an pushing the work
rapidly. Some of the - arly planted cotton
is above ground and is bi ing chopped; its
growtii lias, however, Im en -low, owing to
tiie dry weather. Corn is a fair stanr,
promis- s well, and is being work- d by
many farm- rs. Oats arc heading out, Im.
it is feat’ll that they have b-eii. In some
fields. S’ rfously injured by the excesslvt ly
dry vv-atl” '*. I’otatoes have not m ole
much heniivv iy and will probably be late.
Fruit prospects continue i':.’'eU- tit and veg
etables will ee plentiful, unless turtle •* In
jured or delayed by dry weather. Wnile
the recent showers have n-vived all crops
greatly, mor.- rain vv mid b ■ a great Im De
fit, and in tiie ease of late plant-4 s- ed, an
absolute necessity in order to insure ger
mination.
Southern Section.
"Tiie reports from the southern s -etlc-n of
the state are not > encouraging. The tem
perature has be’n fir ab ive th* normal,
with plenty of sunshine and extremely drv
weather. Light but scattorc 1 showers f-11
over portions of this section during th”
latter part of tiie Week, and in the favored
localities, vviiere ra n fell, the outlook Is
brighter thin it was last week lt.iin.
though, and pl-nty of It. is needed from
now on to give anything like good results.
Early planted cotton is now being chop
ped. Tin* stands arc reported as being
only fairly goml. Late planted cotton Is
not yet above the ground. Some c itton
lias not be. n planted. ..wing to the dry and
bard condition of th-' soil. Corn has r---
eejved its first working ar. 1 is looking fair
ly will, but small. Some la:, com failed
to come up. it is . xpeeted that wnere
showers f. Il 5,.. 4 in the ground will now’
corne up. Early oats are heading. They
ar-- small, but have a green, fresh color
'll grain suffering badly for Hi.* want of
moisture. Sugar cane i in good condition
and growing nicely. Large quantity s of
Spanish peanuts are being planted Gar
dens making slow progress. Fruit cn.o
