II ia time to think about tho sowing
81 si isa this fall. s. .Cho yirgi soil Of
the PieSmont once made fne wheat
But there fs little Of that left and per-
haps the farmers IN. the old days never
made moro than 20 to 25 bushels to the
acre on fresh lands or alluyiai bottom
lands. Wheat needs ammonia, phospho-
rio acid, potash, lime and silex or sand
The latter two are needed In small guam
titles and generally the land has those
clements In abundance. The reason that
wheat grows so we'll onnew grounds is,
that there is a liberal supply of potash
furnished from burning the brush. A
rich alluyial creek bottom has too much
ammonia for wheat. Even when sown
thick it is apt to grow rank and fall
down. The straw Is too weak to support
tho stalk. But most of the wheat will
be sown on upland. If the soil is thin it
will neod ammonia to give 1t q good stalk
and head. On some Of the dark loamy
lands little ammonia would perhaps
be the best manure, if only one kind is
used. But take tho lands us they
como it will bo best to use porfeot ma
nure; that is one containing oil the food
elements required. If you have hoavy
crop of poa vinos use 800 pounds of acid
phosphate afd 100 pounds Of potash. If
there Is little nitrogen in tho soil 800
pounds Of good commercial fertilizer and
100 pounds of potash. If you wish to
study tho lasting value of potash ard
phosphoric acid watch the crops th.t
grow on an old house place.. If tho set
tlement was long continued and then
the houses all moved away, one long
afterward may locate tho place whore
tho house stood by the crops that grow
there. Land that will mako an average
@ to bushels of wheat to tho acre will
mako 10 to 20 by tho judioious applica-
tion of So worth of commercial fertili-
zers, Or its equix alent in cotton seed and
