FOUR
Fertilizers For Next Season Now
Concerning the Southern Farmer
The Agricultural Colleges the Best Cources of Information and
Reliable Advice-.-Interesting and Valuable Bulletin Issued
From South Carolina Experiment Station By Director Har
per.
Tlitfht now farmot*h arr* interested to
know what, fertilisers to uae r.ext
season. They want this information
now in order to be able to make their
arrangements accordingly.
The agricultural college* are, In this
connection, the farmers’ best sources
of information. The agricultural col
leges. both of Georgia and of South
Carolina are ready and willing to give
such information as is or may be de
sired.
In fact, many farmers are already
writing to the agricultural colleges
concerning fertilizers, and from
OJemson Agricultural College, Di
rector .1. N. Harper of the ii uth Car
olina Experiment Station, has prepar
ed a bulletin on the subject to meet
the demand
A synopsis of this bulletin, dealing,
of course*, with South Carolina soils
and conditions, is here given.
Director Harper states among other
things that practically ail the soils of
Booth Carolina will respond to good
treatment tint! fertilization. It dors
not pay to plant and cultivate crops
unless they are well supplied with
plant food.
"The most important plant food for
the soils of this state," contiues Prof.
Harper, ‘is nitrogen (ammonia). All
of our soils are deficient in this ele
ment. This Is clue to the fact that the
nitrates are soluble In water and are
constantly leaching out of the land.
Therefore unless crops are grown in
rotation with the legumes, the farmer
must use* rome form of commercial ni
trogen and he should insist that this
nitrogen le available. Nitrate of soda,
sulphate of ammonia, blood, cotton
seed men I, fiHh scrap and tankage are
splendid sources of nitrogen. Cotton
seed meal Is one of the best and at the
present price it is one of the cheapest
Nitrate of soda is also :t good source
of nltrog n and it will liberate a < r
tain amount of potash in the* soli
■\V)u n applied early in the spring it
greatly increases the yield of grain.”'
"It also pays to use* acid phosphate
on nil types of soil found in this state,
excepting where it has accumulat'd
from previous fertilizations. Acid
phosphate is not only a valuable plant
food but Tt is also valuable in that it
loudens the* maturity of plants, espec
ially cotton, and prevents cotton from
running to stalk <»r weed.'*
"On account of the ‘European War
our source of potash, which comes
from Germany* has been cut off, caus
ing the price to increase considerably.
At the present time It will not pay the
farmers of the Piedmont section to use
any potash in their fertilizers. The
sandy soils of the coastal plain arc
very deficient in potash and what is
on hand should he used for the soils
of that region.”
"Fertilizers are not amendments or
stimulants to plant growth but fur
nish the necessary elements of plant
food without which they will not grow.
Our staple crops take out large
amounts of plant food from the soil
which must he replaced. The farmers
of the state have not acted unwisely
In that they have been using fertili
zers In large amounts for a number
of years. However, under the present
conditions with the low price of cot
ton. we advise the farmers to reduce
the amount of fertilizer they will use j
this coming season."
"There is a considerable amount of
plant food stored In our soils as a
residual from previous fertilizations
which can he called on In this time of
Toed. Practically all of the phos
phorus that has been applied in add
phosphate to the soils in this state, is
still In the first 12 inches, excepting
thnt which has been taken out by
plants. Add phosphate does not wash
out of the hind ns does nitrogen. In
our present financial stress we must
make good use of the plant food stored
In our soils and reduce our fertiliza
tion hill as much as possible."
"We recommend to the farmers of
the Piedmont region that they apply I
to their corn, ROO lbs. of fertiliser
composed of equal parts of acid phos
phate and cotton seed meal, this to
t>e applied at the time of planting, and
when the corn Is waist high a top
dressing of from do to 7f> lbs. of ni
trate of soda*. For cotton, we recom
mend 200 lbs of acid phosphate and
200 lbs. of cotton seed meal, applied
at the time of planting. For oats and
wheat, we recommend 100 lbs. of acid
phosphate, 100 lbs. of cotton seed meal
and 75 lbs of nitrate of soda. The
sods should be applied early In
March."
"For the coastal plain we recom
mend for corn 200 lbs. of acid phos
phate and 200 lha. of (Vtton seed ineal
this to pe applied as recommended by

to use more or less fertilizer per acre
than here recommended, we advise
that the materials be mixed In the
