FOR GREATEST PROFIT SMALL
CRAIN SHOULD BE TOP-DRESSED
Due to insufficient rainfall in
1930 full benefit from applications |
of fertilizer to cottcn was not rea
lized in many parts of the South.
The farmers in these dry areas
adopted the best po-aiblc means of
Kecurimr some additional benefit
from the fertilizers that were used
for cotton when small jrrain crops
were planted in the cotton middles
last fall. The available plant food
that the cotton crop failed to com
pletely utilize and which the fall-
aeeded jrrain crop, such as lu.ts, wa-
able to use as evidenced by better
than usual growth, would otherwise
have been lost through Ieechinjr by
While small jjrain crops on most
►oils give profitable response to
sprint: application of readily-nvail-
able nitrogen, the crop planted on
well-fertilized cotton land in the dry
areas should give usually good re
turns from spring applications of
nitrogen.
Applications of 150 to 200 pounds
per acre of nitrate of soda, calcium
nitrate or the equivalent amount of
nitrogen in the form of sulphate of
ammonia or other carrier of readily
available nitrogen should give good
result*, on most small grain crops.
The fertilizer should l.e applied
when the plants begin to make new
gtowth.
By making most out of a fall-
seeded gruin crop, such as oats, a
large supply of early cheap feed may
be secured.
“There is a ready market on every
farm for $250 to $500 worth of
fruit, and garden crops.” “Usually a
rea>onable surplus of these may be
converted into cash by selling on tho
local market, but always there is
much needed at home and the liberal
use of them will mean heavy sav
ing on the grocer} - bill. Even where
one has no assurance of selling any
of this produce for money, it is high
ly important that u liberal quantity
of it be produced for home use, be
cause it is literally true that money
saved is at least equivalent to money
made. There are many who do not
believe that a small home garden
and a few fruit trees can be so hand
led "s to save from $25^ to $510,
but such is the truth, and has been
demonstrated over and over again in
many section, of the country. We
cannot treat this matter lightly at
any time, and especially now when
food and feed have been projected
so prominently into our every day
“To produce maximum yields of
vegetables, much plant food is need
ed. It is also neces-ary for quality,
as quick growth means a crispness
and flavor that can never b
from vegetables that grew slowly
for the lack of sufficient food. This
is a pha-e of vegetable growing that
is often overlooked, but we may just
as well put it down for a fact that
vegetables that grow slowly because 1
of lack of plant food, will possess
comparatively poor quality and wilt
not give anything li*e the satisfac
tion of those grown quickly because
they were fed liberally.
“In preparing for high yields and
high quality vegetables, the proper
procedure is first to apply broad
cast, a rather heavy coating of stable
manurr, if it is avilable. Then plow -
the griund broadcast, turning unde
the manure. Follow with two o
more harrowings so as to Smooth and
fine the soil. The number of time;
necessary to harrow depends on tht
kind of ground, but it is important
to run over a sufficient numbe
times to get it comparatively smooth
and to break up all clods and make
as fine a seed bed as poa-ible.
"The next step is to lay off the
rows the desired width. Follow by
applying a complete commercial fer
tilizer in the botton of the furrow
at the rate of 10 pounds for each
100 feet of rov' space, or 1,500 to
2,000 pounds per acre. After the
fertilizer is put in the drill,
smaller shovel than the one used for
the winners in each group at the An
nual Farmers Week Conference at
Athens in January.

Five Acre Contest taught many farm

profitable acres. It is expected
thut the new contest will cause many
farmers to build up their --oil to the

Five Acre Contest demonstrated the
value of good land and emphasized
the need for a more extensive soil
