If possible have soil analysis made to find out the amounts of plant food elements in the soil. Most soils will need about 50 pounds of nitrogen, 50 pounds of phosphorus and 50 pounds of potash per acre. This will be equivalent to 600 pounds of a 4-8-8 fertilizer, plus 150 pounds of nitrate of soda as a side- dressing. This amount of ferti¬ lizer can be increased by one- third on some soils. Soils in the northern half of the state are usually most defi¬ cient in nitrogen and phospho¬ rus. Some are also deficient in lime. Often times an applica¬ tion of lime and an extra dose of phosphate applied as early as possible before planting will re¬ sult in Increased yields. Some of the sandier soils will need ad¬ ditional applications of potash. Farmers who are not able to purchase additional potash will find it desirable when buying fertilizers to purchase the mix¬ ed fetilizers that run high in po- ta.sh. If the fertilizer is placed 2Vz to 3 inches to one or both sides of the seed row, and about two inches below the level of the seed yields will be from one- fourth to one-third greater than if the fertilizer is placed in di¬ rect contact with the seed, or directly under the seed. Side placement of the fertilizer will cause one-third more of the seed to germinate than if the fertilizer is placed directly un¬ der the seed. With side ment the seed will also germi¬ nate earlier than If the fertill zer is placed under the seed A side-dressing of nitrogen applied at the first cultivation of cotton after it is thinned, in addition to the fertilizer applied at planting, promotes rapid growth early in the season and results in early blooming and early boll formation. On much of our land from one-half to two-thirds of our cotton yields are due to com¬ mercial fertilizers used. It is im¬ portant, therefore, that cotton be fertilized liberally and wisely in order to obtain maximum yields. Cave Springs News Bro. Newby filled his regular appointment Sunday as usual giving us a message we all en¬ joyed, we can always say it was good to have heard him. Helen Forester visited in Trenton this week end.
