SOILS AND FERTILIZERS.
me Farmer should Know His Soil
and Feed 1t According to
Its Requirements.

Every farmer should know his soil
and find out, the best he can. what
1T lacks to produce good crops. There
are SO many different varities Of soils
that it is rather difficult sometimes
on the same farm to determine Just
what is needed. Here in middle North
Carolina there can be found almost
every kind of soil, from a stiff red
clay to very sandy loans. What most
OF our farmers consider the best for
cotton, is a gravelly soil with q red
clay foundation.
find under the Intensive" system,
that our chocolate" soil is better
for cotton and grasses than any 9TH
er we have. When not taken care of.
however, this kind is the least prof.
liable OF any; but when improved and
gotten full of humus, nothing beats
it for standing a drought. The fault
most farmers find with this soil, IL
that the cotton does not open well
and gerat many of the bolls decay
This is because they do not use
enough. potash and phosphoric acid
l have often noticed where there was
piece of chocolate soil in a field
and all under state of high improve
ment, the chocolate would make more
by far than soil of different nature.
Another thing about this soil, is, it is
very light, and care should be taken
in not blowing it too deep when cul.
tivating crop.
A soil that has no clay foundation
is very hard to improve, for most
fertilizers leach through in a short
time. There is a good deal of this
soil, and often the owners are at q
loss to know what manure to use. /
think the best commercial fertilizers
to use in this case are kainit. acid
phosphate and cotton seed meal.
There are thousands and thousands
OF dollars paid out annually for fer.
tilizers that are of little value to the
farmers. BY buying kainit, acid phos.
phate and cotton seed meal. we can
make a fertilizer at much lower
price, as good as any we can buy
already mixed. Mixing the three to-
gether is small matter, and this can
be done rainy days when outdoor
work is at standstill. How much
value has fertilizer when it teaches
from the soil in few months?
When the soil is full of humus, good
crops can be grown with potash and
acid, leaving off the nitro
gen. The Very richest lands win be-
come poor unless taken care of. The
great cotton lands of Mississippi are
not yielding as they were few years
ago.
Some farmers go onyearafter year.
planting one crop on the same land, |
and often leaving the latter to wash
away into gullies.
There was a time that the south |
could live at cutting down" and
wearing out" but that time has
passed. Now when the woodman |
clears a field, it should be improved
from the start, and not wait until Il /
IS exhausted, then begin trying to
bring it up.
There are thousands Of dollars lost
to the farmers in not taking the
proper care of barnyard manure, q
thing that every farmer should have
n abundance. But yet, alas, it is too
often left to lie about the barnyard

He was simple man with a childike faith

prescribed. As soon as he had taken one
dose of the salt and had refused at dinner
beef, potatoes, white bread, strawberries and
a little cup of coffee, he plucked up courage
and saw himself galloping toward health.
