CONCERNING A GREATER ACREAGE FOR COTTON.

A good many newspapers and some agr- cultural journals are predicting that the cotton growers are going to increase the acreage planted to cotton to a ruinous extent. says the Planters Journal Some even have the keenness of vision that warrants the assertion that cotton will be planted to the neglect of corn and oth- CT crops. Now there may be some few growers that would like to plant the top side of their fields and then turn them over and plant the under side but the practice will not become general for sun dry and divers reasons. In the first place, but few If any, have the physical force or mechanical appliances to overturn their farms and in the next place they could not obtain additional labor neces- sary to work ihe overturned surface In fact the belief obtains in many quarters that there is not sufficient labor In sight to warrant the planting of as much cot ton as the acreage of last year
 One of the reasons assigned for the in tention of growers to attempt to produce a bumper crop" is based upon the as sumption that prospective price of the staple is strong inducement that cannot be resisted Amore tangible reason is the Increase in inc purchase of fertilizers. but 1t has mol ranspired for what purpose they are lo he employed. If really for cot ton il would be wise and commendahIe. provided the grower knows the deiicNncy

NITROGEN FERTILIZERS
 FOR SOUTHERN FIELDS.

The following letter addressed to Con- gressan Bowie explains itself. The sub 1ect Is one of deep interest to southern farmers. MT. Galloway of the department of agriculture. writes as follows:
 Referring to our conversation in regard to the nitrogen gatherers which are now being prepared and sent out by the de- partment. the following brief account of the work may be of interest
 T. has long been known that such crops as clover. cop peas. SOY oesns. watches. velvet beans. slfalfs. etc. have me pow er ot gathering and storing nitrogen. Thsy do this by means or small ofsainsms which are found on the roots and which produce the little noduIes. which can be seen at any time by close examination or any Of the crops mentioned. These little organisms gather the nitrogen from the air and store 1t in such a way that the plant will give it up to the soil where some other crop like corn or wheat can find and use It.
 We are sending out of this country every year in our export crops such HIS cotton wheat etc, something life Sl0O.O00O0O worth of nitrogen. This nitrogen must be returned to the soil, else it is only a uues- tion of time when the soil will refuse to produce anything. Farmers are putting some of the nitrogen back by the appl- cation of fertilizers such as nitrate of
 
 has been cared on here has for It's object the growing of the nitrfyng organisms in such a wey that they can be applied 10 the seed of leguminous crops and the seed so treated will gather from three to five times greater quantity of nitrogen than they would if not treated at all. 1t has been shown by careful estimate that on every acre devoted to the growing of leguminous crops. such as We have mentioned above. these module- forming bacteria enable the plant to add from s6 to BIO in nitrogenous fertilizers This, of course. becomes available for any other crop which may follow the legumcs and can be supplied at cost of from . to cents per acre.
 While there are, of course, vast regions in this country where these bacteria natu- rally exist, it is also true that the art- fcal introduction of them into many guminous crops where they never existed before. In other words. the results that the department has secured have not only made II practicable to grow larger crops of clover. COW peas. alfalfa. etc, by the use of these nitrifying organisms, but 1t has opened the way to grow some very valuable crops in sections where 1t was thought they could not he grown. Tho manner of using the organisms is simple. The material is prepared in our laboratories. and sent out in such a way that the farmer himself can apply it to his crop through the seed.

It Is too late now to be sure. for any ef the aforementioned adiuncts. but it is not too early to begin prepara- ton. to be continued at odd times, for two or more of them. If not too remote from market the net proceeds of one acre of peavine hay will be of more than suffi- cient to pay for picking of one bale of cotton.

of his soil, which is not probable In the

of his soil, Whtcn IS not prpuapie m tne absence of experimental tests.
 All the cotton growers will readily ad- init that 1t is infinitely better. as well as more profitable, to increase the yield per acre than to increase the acreage, for as soon as if is ascertained that acreage is increased that very moment cotton, as a commodity. gets black eye that sta tistical doctors VII not be able to cure, if curable, until it will be too late to do the patient any good. Wet springs. bad stands. cold Junes. floods. drought, boil weeyils and early frosts may try to dis count the output of fields but increased acreage will be as a bolus of honey under inc tongues of the bears.
 This will not be so harmful if growers are i'm condition to sell only as demand of spinners puts a satisfactory price upon their product which is entirely practica- hl,. if the burden of carrying the entire expense of the farm is not placed upon the cotton crop
 There are several ways of contributing to inc revenue of the farm. such as eggs and carly broilers, shoats for sale 's
