mixture in the proportions you nrst
suggest, viz: Acid phosphate, 100 pounds;
muriate of potash, so pounds; cotton SEED
meal, 100 pounds, would analyze about as
follows: Phosphoric acid, per cent; pot
ash, 10 per cent; nitrogen, per cent. Inc
second formula would give about per
cent Of phosphorc acid, per cent OF nitro
gen. and no potash at all. But probably
you meant to write "muriate of potash
instead OF nitrate of soda?' If so. then IL
would contain: Phosphoric acid, q potash,
s. and nitrogen, %. We think you would
have entirely too much potash-at least
three times too much. We have not found
that the soils of middle Georgia (granltlc),
even the badly worn soils, respond proht-
ably to such large dose OF potash ana
would be afraid of an excess IN the
form of muriate. We have usually obtained
the most gratifying results from 4 mixture
Of say, 800 pounds of acid phosphate LOCO
pounds of cotton meal and 100 pounds OF
murate of potash. This would give. on
analysis: phosphoric acid, I; potash, 2le,
and nitrogen, 5Ia. We have not found that

an intercultursl application of some quickly
soluble form of nitrogen. such as nitrate OF
soda or sulphate of ammonia, often gives
fine results-if not delayed too long. say not
later than June LIST. But cotton seed meal
is slow Of action. and should be applied
before planting, or at very early stage
of the crop.

In accordance with the scientific principles
of rotation, it would probably be better TO
plant the land TO corn. The peanut plant
is a lcguue-a rathcrcr OF nitrogen; corn IS
a notroSeG-huugry plant, and must get its
supply Of that element entirely from the
soil. But, as a matter Of practice, we would
not hesitate to plant in cotton, or other
