Fertilizing Growing Crops
DOES IT PAY?
J. N. Harper,
Soil Improvement Committee, Atlanta, Georgia.
Side applications of fertilizers to
the growing crops as a supplement to
a first application made at seeding
time is quite widely practiced in the
South.
The writer recently obtained from
county agents the names of leading
farmers of North and South Carolina
who make a bale or more of cotton
per acre. These farmers were ad
dressed a letter and asked, among
other things, to tell how they fertil
ized their cotton. In these answers
a large proportion report that they
make side applications of fertilizer.
A few of these reports that are typi
cal of the rest are given herewith:
Mr. Jneo. C. Fletcher, McColl, 8. C.
Kind of soil: “Light loam with clay
subsoil.” |
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “Use about 1,400 Ibs. per
acre; half applied just before planting,
and the other half about June 15th.” 1
Mr. B. D. Mann, Enfield, N. C. !
Kind of soil: “Sandy loam and
heavy loam to gray stiff soil.” |
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying. “From 500 to 1,000 lbs. per acre
of an 83-3. At time of planting use
from 400 to 600 Ibs., about June Ist
when cotton is chopped out make an
other application of 400 Ibs.” ‘
Mr. Fred H. Young, Timmonsvilie, 8. C.
Kind of soil: ‘“Sandy loam with
clay subsofl.”
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “900 to 1,000 Ibs. of fertilizer
used. April Ist apply 500 Ibs. of fer
tilizer, ridging on same and planting
about ten days later. Fertilizer ap
plied in three applications; 500 lbs.

ply one-third of fertilizer as a side
application when plants are about '

Mr. H. A. Monroe, Cameron, N. C.
Kind of soil: ‘“Gravelly sandy loam
with clay subsoil.” |
Ifertllizer used and method of ap
plying: “600 to 800 Ibs. of fertilizer
per acre used. Part applied at time
of preparing the land, and 200 to "300
Ibs. applied as side dressing before
blooms appear.”
Mr. F. H. Waller, Kingston, N. C.
Kind of soil: “Gray sandy soil.”
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “800 lbs. per acre of a 10-4-8.
Apply fertilizer in drill about ten days
prior to planting. Side dress one or
two times about June 20 and July 10.”
- Mr. W. F. Peterson, Clinton, S. C.
Kind of soil: “Dark gray.”
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying: “400 Ilbs. when rows are
laid off; 250 lbs. as side application
at second plowing after chopping, and
250 Ibs. as another side application
when plants are knee high.”
Side Applications to Cotton,
At the time the cotton plant is ia
full bloom ample plant food must be
available or else a large percentage
of the squares will shed. While there
are other facters that cause shedding,
for example, a lack of a proper amount
of moisture; still, it has been proven
that even with the most favorable
moisture conditions, a lack of plant
food is the potent cause of this
trouble.
Under boll weevil conditions, the
fertilizer used in side applications
shoud contain a high percentage of
phespheric actd and a rather low per
centage of nitrogen. This fertilizer
has the effect of forcing the young
bolls to quick growth and early ma
turity. .
gide Applications to Corn.
While it usually pays to make a
larger side application of fertilizer for
cotton tham for cornm, still, many of
the best farmers in the Southeast
advocate liberal side applications for
ocorn.
The period of the growth of corn is
much shorter than that of cot_ton; con
sequently, there must be present in
the soil large supplies of available
plant food at the critical period of its
growth, which is from the time & is
waist high to tasselling time.
News of Our Churches
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
Our Sunday School had an attend
ance of 194 on last Sunday. We are
wondering where the children are on
Sunday mornings. Our day schools
have an enrollment of about 1,000
pupils between the ages of 6 and 18.
If those were in our Sabbath schools,
each school would average 250 pupils
of school age. Added to this number
would be those above 18 and below 6,
giving us at least 325 in enrolhnent-
Won't the parents see to it tha:
the children come to Sunday school?
We were glad to have with us on
last Sunday Mrs. Hudson, of Atlonta.

EPWORTH LEAGUE
The Fred P. Manget Epworth
League held a most successful busi
ness meeting Sunday evening at 7:00
o’clock. The roll call was omitted
and after a brief devotional service
conducted by Miss Lois Welsh, the
chairman of the committee for ap
pointing officers for the coming six
months, made a report and the fol
lowing officers were appointed: Mr.
F. C. Bunting, president; Miss Lillian
Tiepel, vice-president; Dorothy Lewis,
secretary; W. H. (Billie) Christian,
treasurer; Miss Ruth Stephens, pian
ist, and Miss Lois Dobbs as assistant.
The retiring officers were Miss Lois
Welsh, Daisy White, Paxton Erwin,
and Marvin Dodd. ;
The league has made an extraord
inary record with the retiring officers,
and every officer and leaguer has put
forth great effort to make the league
the organization that it has developed
to be. The league feels that while the
retiring officers did much for the de
velopment of the work that the in
coming corps will do as well.
There is no reason why Mr. F. C.
Bunting with his co-operating officers
and corps of leaguers should not make
a record as brilliant as that just clos
ed under the retiring president. The
league stands forth as tthe lives and
most thoroughly organized institution
connected with the church and it is
doing a wonderful work. It will be
in the front line with the Centenary
drive and great things are expected of
the league.
You are cordially invited to meet
with this bunch of young people, who
meet every Sunday evening at 7:00
o’clock, and see what great things
are being accomplished.
