A BROADER FIELD OF AGRICULTURAL WORK.

For twelve years | have been connected with the
agricultural work of the State in the Department
of Agriculture and the Experiment Station. In
that time l have obtained a considerable amount
of information regarding the agriculture of the
adaptability of the various soils to different crops,
together with the fertilizer applications and cul-
ture methods which will give best results. a large
correspondence has developed with the farmers
Of the State on various farm matters. Our work
of Investigation and experimentation in the labor
atOry and on the Test Farms of the Department
of Agriculture in the different parts of the State
and at the Experiment Station is enabling us to
answer more definitely and thoroughly than ever
before the various questions which come to us re
garding crops, soils, fertilizers, etc. This CORE
spondence is growing rapidly in numbers and INF
portance.
About all that we can expect to do in the col
umns of The Progressive Farmer is to give great
rr publicity to the more important and widely APP
plicable matters about which we write individuals
by putting results in shape for the general reader.
We shall be glad to have such inquiries as are of
general interest to a considerable number of per-
SONS or to a section, and in answering these and
in presenting such other materials as will help to
a better and more productive agriculture, we
shall be following our former chosen line of work
and aiding, we hope, in developing our agricultu-
raj interests.
1t is with these ideas in view-the reaching of
and giving to a larger number of persons inter
ested in farming the work that is done for them
in this State and elsewhere-that l have under
taken to conduct a department in this paper.

ON HI USE OF LIN IN CROP GROWING.

The following inquiry comes from a Nash Coun-
ty reader of The Progressive Farmer:
please tell me through your paper what kind
of lime is the best for sand, rock or shell lime!
How much should be applied to the acre and what
does it cost a tons"
The quality of lime will depend on the purity
of the materials from which it is made. Some
limestone from which rock lime is made is COM
posed almost entirely Of carbonate of lime, and
in this case the rock lime would be OF very high
quality. Some limestones, however, contain i'm
purities and the lime from these would, of course,
be of greater or less value, according to the i'm
purities. Shell lime from good clean shells is
almost if not as good as rock lime, though some
times the shells contain considerable sand and
actual lime from shells and from rock lime is of
equal value. Shell lime can be had for from $500
to 800 per ton, according to quality and guam
tity.
In the eastern part of the State there are con-
siderable areas of black soils which contain large
amounts of vegetable matter. They are generally
known locally as "pocosins" and are, as a rule,
quite productive when first cleared, but often af-
ter a few years cultivation get in such a condition
that they will not grow a crop of any kind. To
all outward appearances these are rich and valua-
BILE lands. They have been formed by the accumu-
lation of large amounts of vegetable matter in the
low basins. The decomposition of this vegetable
matter produces acid or sour soils. A considera-
bic number of analyses of these soils show them
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-01-05

to be comparatively rich in misunderstanding
materials, but deficient in potash and phosphoric
acid, and as stated above, are sour. Lime will
correct the sourness. There are other sandy soils
which do not have as much vegetable matter as
the pocosin soils, but yet are composed of a great
deal of vegetable matter, and also benefited by
the lime. On a great many of these soils sorrel
grows quite extensively. This is evidence of sour
ness, and such lands, as a general rule, are in need
of lime.
On the Edgecombe Test Farm of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, some experiments were
made in 1901 january Bulletin, 1902, to test the
effect of lime and other fertilizer constituents of
the black soils, which had been long in cultivation,
but which had not produced a crop to amount to
anything for a number of years. Twenty-four-
inch thing were put i'll the ground and filled with
this black soil. The two cuts, made from photo
graphs taken of the cotton on September eth,
show the effect of the different applications. The
effect of lime is seen to have been quite marked
potash as kainit was beneficial and acid phosphate
did some good. In addition to these experiments
we have recommended farmers to try acid phos-
phate, lime and kainit on considerable areas and
a considerable number of them have reported good
results. Soils containing large amounts of vege-
table matter will frequently require as much as
one ton per acre of lime to counteract the sour
ness, but an application of 500 to 1000 pounds
will give temporary relief and last for two or
three years, possibly longer, depending on the
amount of vegetable matter in them.
l would therefore recommend the application
of 500 to 1000 pounds of lime per acre, broad
cast, in the fall, winter, or early spring, the sooner
the better, as it requires some time for the lime
to get we'll into the soil and correct the sourness.
This treatment may then be repeated when the
crops show the need of further lime. After the
application of lime it is we'll, at planting time, to
apply on pocosin soils in the drill, for corn one to
two hundred pounds per acre, and for cotton two
to four hundred pounds per acre of the following
mixture:
Acid Phosphate ............ 200 pounds.
kalnlt 100 pounds,

Results of Georgia Experiment Stations Variety Test
of Cotton.

Of Cotton.
press Bulletin" No. a, from the Georgia Ex-
pertinent Station, has just been received at The
Progressive Farmer office. The Director says that
this 4-page folder is merely preliminary to the
regular Cotton Bulletin, which will appear later
in January, and will not be sent out to the general
mail list, but only to newspapers and to those
making special request for the same.
From the bulletin we find that of the p yarle-
ties tested the following ten occupied the first
half of the list, in the order in which they ap-
pear, the position of each variety being deter
mined by the total market value per acre OF Its
product of lint and seed, on the basis Of l. cents
per pound for lint and 70 cents per 100 pounds
of seed. The "honor" list is as follows:
% Cooks Improved (value of lint and seed per
acre), $78.17; CD Prize, 1924; CD Moss's In
proved, $66.92; () Texas Burr, $65.26; ~ ban

In the order of earliness the first 6 are as 1oI

leaving, ."You can tell them in The

al the reception we received by the
orally. We have been treated cour-
~teously and kindly in every way. and
we appreciate it. Everything possible
that could add to our comfort and
museme has been done. and there
is no kick at all. We had only fou
of the regular FL Paso team. but we
came here with the expectation and
determination of cleaning them up,
but we did not do it. The tables were
turned. The games were played fair
" and squarely. and there was none
of the usual kicking on the decisions
of the umpire. Everything passed off
pleasantly and we hope to return to
Roswell. Don't forget to thank the
cadets and citizens generallysf the
cordial reception given us"
The above interview is very graf

here who had called them negroes.
The Ell Paso boys during their stay
in the city conducted themselves as

come them back to the city at any
