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 CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY FARES CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILWAY Otmitnanolng Pac. 1(1 to 26 lncluatva, and Pm.
