the first consideration.
Some varieties of tomatoes seem more
susceptible to disease than others. Vigor
Of plant, productiveness and quality of
fruit should determine selection.
Judicious shipments in advance of To-
cal competition offer the largest prom
Use of profit.
The economic use Of commercial fer
tilizer is dependent upon other supple
mental conditions as we'll as the facts of
the available plant food contained in
them.
Fungicides are q preventive, not q
cure. The scale insect cannot be de-
stroyed with the ordinary insecticides
The strawberry weevil damages the
crops very early in the season, and par
ticularly harms the staminate varieties.
The strawberry root louise very seriously
injured the paintings in a number Of
places in the state last year. The time
Of ripening, if productive and firm,
largely determines the value Of straw

FERTILIZERS FOR coTroN.
Statements Based on Experiments Report
cd to tho Department, of Agriculture.

statcmcnts Based ON Experiments Report
cd to the Department. of Agriculture.
The question as to the relative value
OF fertilizers for cotton is very impor-
tant one in the south, where large sums
are annually expended in tho effort to
maintain the fertility of the soil The
points which remain to be determined
are, first, what is lacking for the suo-
cessful production of this crop, and, SEQ
ond, the best method of supplying it in
order to prevent unnecessary expense for
what now constitutes q great burden on
the cotton planter. Farmers Bulletin
No. Ia, issued by the department. of agri-
culture, summarizes the results of ex-
periments in this direction as follows:
Cotton requires nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash. Of tho three phosphorio
Rcid is the most important. It can be
used alone with some advantage to tho
crop, but much more effectively In con-
nection with the other two.
Neither nitrogen nor potash can be
used alone Each needs the assistance
Of tho other two to do its work properly
The required proportion is ono part nj
trogen to two and q quarter parts phos-
phorio acid and three-fourths Of part
of potash The amounts called for by
crop yielding 800 pounds Of lint to the
acre are: Nitrogen, 30 pounds; phos-
phorio acid, 80 pounds; potash, 10
pounds. The phosphorio acid determines
the amount of tho other two to BIO used
The amount of phosphorio acid cannot
DO increased in the hope of obtaining q
corresponding increase in the cron Tho
soil cannot BIO profltably forced. The up
plication of chemical fertilizers must be
regulated by its mechanical as we'll as
chemical condition
Potash can be as effectively supplied
by muriate of potash on kainit as it can
by sulphate Of potash. At present prices
the muriate is the cheaper
Phosphoric acid is of value to cotton
in proportion to its solubility. Prefer
ence must DO given to acid phosphates
containing considerable percentages of
soluble phosphorio acid. Only such fer
tilizers should be used as will meet the
demands of the crop upon which they
are applied.
Inorganic, organic aud mixed nitrogen
are of very nearly equal value to cotton
Used alone or in combination with COM
mercial fertilizers, the lime of mari is
of no direct value to cotton, and appli-
cations of copperas are without effect
Nitrate of soda should generally be ap-
piled with other fertilizers at the time
Of planting. When small amounts of
fertilizers are employed, drilling is to
be preferred to broad casting.
