all green ones that are grown or

them on a shelf. They will ripen. In

Fertilizers For Small Grain.

In the old days when q new ground
was cleared every winter, the farmer
always had fresh land we'll supplied
with plant food : his wheat. He
generally gathered corn IS early as
possible and sowed his wheat by plow-
ing in with tongue OF shovel plows.
A two-horse brush or harrow was run
over the land to smooth the rough
places and knock down the corr stalks.
That was the old method and good
crops were made on the virgin soil.
But the new ground days are over and
our small grain has to be made on
land devoid of humus to a great ex-
tent. Some kind of fertilizer is neces-
sary to make a good yield. Stable and
lot manur is the best application, but
no farmer has enough Of that. Cot
ton seed applied at the rate of twenty
to thirty bushels to the acre is excel
lent for wheat or oats. That is very
expensive, however, for thirty bushels
of seed at twenty cents would buy 600
pounds OF standard fertilizer, or about
500 pounds of cotton seed meal. II
Is not we'll to make a heavy applica-
ton of nitrogen in the fall, especially
the quick kinds, such as are generally
used in the high grade and high priced
fertilizers. Ammonia when quite solu-
BILE is inert in the winter and much
may be lost by teaching and evapora-
ton. Apply only poatsh and phos-
phoric acid in the fall.
Farmers should mix their own fer
tilizers. When they buy them mixed
they pay $3.50 to $500 a ton for the
mixing. Buy fourteen per cent. phos-
rhoric acid and gainit, or muriate OF
potash. If the land is in good heart
as it is called, and there is humus
enough in it to keep it in good condi-
ton, use the following for wheat:
1000 pounds fourteen per cent. phos-
plate.
600 pounds kainit.
The analyst will be 9.S and 3.75 and
the cost of a ton will be $3.50 cash.
It requires little time to mix it. If
the land has little nitrogen add to the
above about fifty pounds of nitrate of
soda, Or 300 pounds Of cotton seed
meal. If the wheat is yellow and not
growing we'll when the first warm
days of spring come, apply fifty to
seventy-ive pounds of nitrate Of soda
and run a smoothing harrow or weeder
over it. For oats put in with a drill
in the open furrow mix the following:
1000 pounds fourteen per cent. acid;
600 pounds kainit:
400 pounds cotton seed meal.
Mix thoroughly and apply 200 to 300
pounds to the r Applying 200
pounds to the acre the cost will BE-
about $1.75. If the oats are not max
ing a vigorous growth in March apply
fifty pounds of nitrate and run smooth
ing harrow over them. Charles

.The Cost OF Ignorance.

Ignorance and the lack of informa-
ton has cost the Southern farmer many
dollars, and in many ways. First be-
cause we have not h@d the practical,
chemical knowledge of u soils. we
have spent millions of dollars in sup
plying our land with fertilizing ma
terial that they were not deficient in.
For instance, some of our andS are
well supplied with nitrogen or ammo
mia, especially after certain crops have
been grown the previous year. Others
contain potash or lime, or acid phoS-
phate. Still, as a rule, the farmer will
buy a complete fertilizer for his crop,
when only certain material is needed,
thus spending large sums of money for
material with which his soils are al
ready supplied.
"We have wasted time and money
in poor preparation Of the soils for our
of same.
ssThe lack of knowledge in judging
livestock and the proper care Of same
has also been expensive to the South
ern farmer.
Another thing that has cost the
farmers of our st: e enormous sums
of money is the habit we have OF 60
ing from home to buy u mules, hay,
corn, meat and other things we could
so easily raise at home; for instance.
Edgecombe County raised last year
ABOUT $4,000 bales of cotton that sold
for about one million dollars, and she
spent the same year for mules, meat,
hay, corn and fertilizers about three
ffths of this whole amount, or $780,
600. Not only did we pay out this
large amount for something we could
have raised at home, but the over
production of cotton cost us nearly an
amount equal to this, the difference in
price we could have gotten had the cot
ton crop been reduced sufficiently to
have enabled us to raise these things
at home.-E. l.. Daughtridge in ad-
dress at Farmers State Convention,
Raleigh, N. G.

Harvesting and shreddIng Corn.

With six years Of experience in
cutting and shredding my corn. and
being asked questions very often in
regard to the matter, 1 have decided
to ask you to publish through your
valuable paper a few thoughts of my
experience.
First. Don't cut your corn too green.
Wait until the corn is thoroughly ripe.
The shuckS should be somewhat yell
low and the fodder thoroughly ripe
Let it stand a week longer than most
people would if they were going to
pull the fodder.
Two. Shocking is a matter that must
be well considered. Do not have
shocks too large or too small. If your
corn is very larPe stalk put about 100
stalks to a shock; if medium, 125
stalks; if small, $50 stalks. This will
cause your corn to cure better than
in larger shocks, but do not make
them too small, for they will not
stand up so well.
a great help in shocking corn is to
take a 2x4 scantling fifteen feet long,
nail two legs four feet long to end of
it, let the other end rest on the
ground, bore one and one-half inch
auger hole through the fifteen foot
scantling about twenty-four inches
from the legs, put something like an
old fork handle in the hole, then set
your corn about in the four spaces
and your shocks will stand up much
better than to shock it without my.
thing. Take a rope about twelve feet
long, tie a ring in one end of the rope,
put it around the shock, draw 1t very
tight, and then tie the shock with
binder Irvine about middle way be-
tween the ends Of shock, and also near
the top.
Let your corn stand from five to six
weeks in the field, owing to the
weather. 1t is better to shred it as
you haul it, as it saves handling 1t SO
much.
Now as to the grain in harvesting
your corn. l can cut ten acres OF
corn. shred it, put the rough feed and
corn in the barn for about one-third
less than to gather it in the old way.
I have doubled the quantity Of rough
feed, and / find that the shocks will
readily eat eighty per cent. OF this
rough feed. which gives nae thirty per
cent. more than l would get If I
should pull the fodder. T also save
thirty-three. and a third per cent. in
gathering, thirty per cent. in value Of
rough feed and get heavier and better
corn than If I should pull the FODDER
