A plant is more apt to throw out suckers
when the seed was planted in shallow
furrow and but lightly covered. or when
the soil has been pulled away, exposing
the efrst joint to the infuenc
of sunlight. The time to remove suckers
is undoubtedly soon as possible.
Where "Btover." or stalks and blades, IS
an object IT may not be best to remove
suckers. Wen ever sucker corn when

silo. The northern and western farmers,
we are informed, do not, as a rule, remove
suckers

drilled specl1led peas. would it be o. *. to
broadcast 20O ponds of kainit per acre

days and then put on kainlt or some

In reply we say that our experience
IN the oak and hickory CLAY soils of mid
die Georgia is that it does not pay TO apply
potash in any form to cowpeas except in
small quantities and in connection with
acid phosphate. on any soil 1t is much
more likely that an application of acid
phosphate alone would be beneficial TO
peas than any application of potash alone.
We would rather risk go pounds of acid
phosphate alone than any quantity-great
