many cases jstly fertilizers are used
that do no coed because of a kind Tot.
required by the soil to which they are
applied. Such Iofses are serious, and
to avoid them was the Oh ject of these
tests. To map the State according to
tertili83r requirements will be the
work Of years, but it will save the
farmers millions Of dollars.
In locating the first years tests, the
station was guided more by geological
formation than any thing else.
In eight cases phosphoric acid was
most effective. These soils were gen
orally gray or red sandy, with a slaty
or pale red clay subsoil, and the soils
were generally thin or shallow.
In four cases potash wss most effec
tive, and these soils were red sandy
soils, with red clay subsoil within three
to Pix inches Of the surface.
On deeper red sandy soils uEderleid
by red clay, Nitrogen was tie most
effective element.
On clay soils all three elements we're
quired.
The fertilizer that yielded the largest
net prods IN the greatest number o.
easas wac 200 pounds cotton seed meal,
24O pounds scid phosphate and 100
pounds kainiG ger acre. This mixture
contains nearly per cent. nitrogen, 8
per cent. potash and per cent. avail
able pGosphoric scid.
The season was generally dry, and
rust or other lea1 disease was widely
preva ent and very destructive. Under
these conditions kainit greatly reduced
the injury from leaf diseases in 81 per
cent. of the experiments Of which com
plete reports were made. This does
not imply 30 favorable an eftsct of
sainit In seasons when weather condi
tiors are normal, and when rust or
blight is less widely prevalent.

For years," said Colonel Stevens,
'the farmers Of the South have been
drifting into condition of bankruptcy
and demoranzation. This is not due
20 sterllity of soil, nor to unfavorabie
climatic conditions. Il is not alto
ge5her fair to lay the fault Of the fail

have worked irdustriouslY, in and out
Of season, but they have lot worked
with any fixed purpose of permanent
benefit in the end. I have for years
6een urging the farmers of Georgia to
reverse their methods if they would
escape the conditions which have re
suited from lack of divers fcstion in
planting their crops. The salvation Of
the people depends upon Independence
