in depth. l have examined in
the hill and there is no forms for
potatoes. Please tell me what
you think is the trouble with

Answer-It is probable tnat
the soil on which you have your
potatoes has had too much stable
or lot manure or too much cotton
seed or cotton meal. In other
words too much nitrogen. There
is nothing that can be done now

it was simply too much rain and

Then every fall set new plan
tation, and take but two crops
from the old one. AS soon as the
fruit is off, you can turn the
whole under, aud can make a
heavy crop of cotton on the same

BILE to set new plantation an
nually, and another in it's second

after fruiting, than it is to try to
get crop from older beds. Using

always take to have the straw

Ter applied will be dissolved so

Fall Fertilizing Of Strawber-
ries.
(By ". F. Massey.)

A correspondent in southern
Alabama writes that last October
he applied to his strawberry field
500 pounds of acid phosphate,
400 pounds of cotton seed meal
and 800 pounds of sulphate OF
potash per acre. The past spring
he applied ready mixed ferti.
lizer claimed to have 3 per cent
of nitrogen, 19 per cent phosphor-
ic acid from bones and rs per
cent OF potash. Hs wishes to
know if it will pay him to use
more nitrogen and potash on the
field this fall.
While one full crop is about
all that we would usually take
from strawberry plantation
and our friend does not say how
old his plantation is, l can only
say that If the plants are still in
good shape and the land is not
weedy, he may get another crop
from these plants by good treat
ment. The time at which the
greater part of the fertiliz alton
of strawberry plantati ton should
be made is during the late sum-
mer and fall, so that the young
runners that have started this
season will be enabled to make
strong crowns for the next sea-
sons fruiting. l would make the
same application this fall. and
would make 1t at as early a date
as possible. Then in the spring
do not think that heavy apph-
cation Of mixed fertilizer is
needed. The best plan will be to
use IN the spring only an appli
cation Of nitrate Of soda at rate
of 100 to $50 pounds per acre a.
longside the rows just as the
plants begin to start in growth,
But take care that it is not ap.
Piled on the rows of plants, as it
may scOrch the leaves. This will
have a stimulating effect on the
plants that have already made
the matured growth from the
fall fertilizing. Then, too, in the
late fall prepare a new piece of !
land and on it use the same mix
ture Of fertilizer at rate of 1 800
per acre, and harrow it
n well, and set new plantation.
In your climate, November or
December will be found the best
months to set the plants. This

owed to fruit the next spring.
