Farm and Fertilizers.
How the Former may be I'm
proved by a Proper Use of

Horticulturist of National
Reputation.

Carolina Experiment Station, i'm
Progressive Farmer

lToSTooolNe FARMER.
Will our Southern farmers
ever get rid of the notion that
Tor every crop sown or planted
we must have special fertilizer
formula to mix, and always with
large percentage Of nitrogen?
Referring to Mr.. Petty's arli
Gle in the Progressive Farmer cf
O2tober 3rd, ! would say that he
is little off in the figures about
wheat. Thirty five bushels of
wheat will be 2,1OO pounds, and
will contain 40 5 pounds OF nj
trogen, 1869 pouuds of phospho.
fic acid and 1874 pounds Of
potash. The straw will carry off
a larger percentage Of potash
than the grain, so that the potash
and phosphoric acid removed
will not seriously differ.
Now it will be safe to assume
that a good clay soil suitable for
wheat will in our older cultivat.
ed lands be more deficient in
phosphorus than anything else
except nitrogen-which we will
not consider, since any good far
mer can improve his land and
his crops without buying an
ounce of nitrogen. But phospho
rus and potassium are essential
to the perfection OF the grain,
and must be placed in the soil if
they are lacking.
While the clay soil may con.
tain large amount of potash in
the silicate form, it will not be
safe to assume that a sufficient
amount is available to balance
the phosphoric acid (ihe form in
which we use phosphorus), for it
has been found that neither
phosphoric acid nor potash will
have its full effect unless there is
a due percentage of both avail
able in the soil or applied in
fertilizer.
There are millions of dollars
thrown away in North Carolina
and adjoining States every year
In the purchase of nitrogen Tor
ammonia, as the fertilizer mer
prefer to put it, since the figures
look largerl and 1T is easy, as |
have said, to improve the fertili
ty of the soil and to get annually

best farmers there have not

nave used not.hlg & but an appli-
catio' of acid phosphate on their
wheat and have prac,iced a three
year rotation of corn, wheat and
clover. One OF the best of these
farmers told me that during the
last twenty years he has averag-
ed 40 bushels of wheat per acre,
and this on similar land no bet
ter than any ofour red clay up
lands, if as good, naturally.
The grain farmer and the cot
ton farmer have no need for buy
ing nitrogen. This is especially
true of the cotton farmer, if he
feeds the meal from his cotton
seed and the hay be can make

fully saves the manure to return
to the land broad cast for the
corn crop. Then if the corn is
properly cultivated and is cut
and shocked while the fodder is
good, and peas have been sown
among it before the last working.
he can chop these up with the
cut-away harrow till fine and all
the organic matter left on top
the soil, and can with disk drill
seed small grain and have the
dead peavines as mulch and
top dressing. Then he will need
on the wheat only 800 pounds of
mixture 6 parts acid phosphate
and l part muriate of potash.
Then follow the wheat with peas,
and the peas will do more for
you in the way Of getting nitro
gen and making forage if you
give them a similar application;
both applications costing no
more than one of the ordinary
complete fertilizer. Then cut
the peas and cure them for hay
and sow crimson clover and rye
on the stubble, the rye TO guard
against the failure of the clover.
Turn these in the spring for cot
ton without fertilizer of any sort.
Sow among the cotton at last
working more crimson clover and
rye, and during the winter get
out and spread on it all the house
accumulation of manure and turn
all for corn and a new round OF
the rotation.

A number of years ago a young
farmer, not in the cotton district,
but whose main crop is wheat,
commenced corresponding with
me, seeking advice in the i'm
provement of his land. | had
not heard from him for a good
while till yesterday | received
from him a photograph of his
twenty-five acre field of COW peas,
all cut and cooked for hav, and
he wrote that the field made 100
tons of cured hay. He said that
years ago that field was too poor
to make q paying crop of any
thing, but that by following my
advice and sticking to the; rota-
ton with peas he has made over
thirty bushels of wheat per acre
and seventy bushels of corn.
Following similar rotation,
and feeding all the roughage of
the farm and ali the cotton seed,
it is evident that the farmer in
the cotton belt could make profit
enough out of these auxiliary
crops of corn anu small grain and
peas to more than pay all the
expenses OF his farming and
leave the cotton crop as clear
profit. But it will not be done
by the men who want fertilizer
formula for every crop planted,
and who merely use eItilizers to

One OF the stock arguments of the I'D.

for girl babies thrive better than boys,

mainly recruited from men. OF the
