Sweet Potatoes and Wheat.
"Querist," Hamburg, Ark.—l. I want to

instructions in your bullet.n. Would that
leav( '.ii.- land In good condition for.wheat,
or would it require more fertilizers.’ It is
ordinary gray upland.
2. Would u.-ld phosphate and k.'fnlt or
muriate potash appli" 1 to peach trees In
vent rotting and dropping off prematurely:
Please answer through The Goiiistltu: on.
Answer- 1. We. have, always considered
sweet potatoes as an. excellent preceding
crop for wheat, as tile ground is left in
just tho condition we prefer for wheat.
But the fertilizers applied to produce the
crop of sweet potatoes would not. also
answer for a crop of wheat, unless, indeed,
a very c< nslderable excess of fertilizers had
been applied to the potatoes; which would
bo injudicious, if not wasteful. As a rule,
with few, of any, exelotions, a concen
trated and readily available f* r‘.il!-.-:er should
be apj lied in quantity ami nj >
ed to and suflioient for the crop to win -11
It is immediately a|.plied. On the - imt: >:y,
coarse m ore; oi 1 ■ illzers tliat ore but
slowly available, may so-metin "s bo .-ippl'e'l
to tho land and crop partly for the benetlt
of the next succeed.ng crop. This is more
or less the case in all applications of coarse,
partlv decompiled stitbi'i manure, vegeta
ble matter, etc. For tho. wheat crop, fol
lowing a sv. ci t potato :r »p, wo would apply
to i .-'i-h acre about IGO pounds of .i- ld pho. -
plia.le. 200 pounds of cott - d in< tl and
10t) pounds of kaintt. In March we advise
to top dress with CO to 75 ■ '■ ■ ' '
of Sofia per acre.
2. Acid phosphate and potash In any form
applied to peach tries w.ll not prevent ro .
It is a fungus disease, and Is propagate!
from spores that are iii the air, and espe
cially proceeding from the old, rotten anil
dried-up fruit of the precedin'; year. Til;
dropped and rotted fruit sliould all be care
fully gathered up in the fall and destroyed,
or removed from the orchard and de.-ply
buried. Too much nitrogen in the so:! is
believed to produce greater susc. ptibillty to

KING’S IMPROVED COTTON SEED.
IT IS T1 TE-
MOSt Productive Cotton Known.
Practical and scientific experiments show that lor YItLD, GROW i H, QUAL
ITY OF LINT and its adaptability to both LATE and EARL planting, it is tin
equaled.
The originator, desiring to test every known cotton for t.t • purpose oi deter
mining what kind would give the best results, arid i take tne m t <:>>ttoa per acre,
planted every obtainable'variety. The land wi- thoroughly ’ ' . ared and highly
manured, and the cotton was afterward , well cultivated. In this w. ■e. h variety
was given an opportunity to do all that it cou 1. Res ty seemed
to combine all that the originator wanted in his IDEAL CO! TON, so the following
year he planted the two kinds which, between th > >s
every essential necessary, and trusting by this means to . •( i GOMPOSIiECOT TON
which would be PROLIFIC, VIGOROUS in growth, with well btti nee 1 limbs, extra
carlv rnd yield a big percentage of lint; and the r tilt I ucceeded
in getting the most WONDERFULLY PROLIFIC COTTON NOW VN com
bining all of the above qualities. It is also suitably to late or early planting.
WHAT DIRECTOR TR At V S.IYSi
Mr. S. M. Tracy, former Director Mississippi F.xpe. -nentStation, says; '••Die
Mississippi Experiment S'ation planted thirty seven vririi ties ol rotton tor a com
parison of their relative yieldsand values. Os th''.', tn' .waviest yield oi seed
cotton was from the ‘King,’ which gave 1,270 . . ■ the
average of all varieties was 710 pounls Over thiitylour per cent, was lint.
These yields were made without fertilizers”
T here is positive proof, with this testimony before us, that w ile you now pro
duce twentv bait sos the 01 din irv cott<>n, bv pl In ' you ought
to reasonably expect from TWENTY-FIVE TO FIFTY PER CENT. MORE, or an
