FERTILIZER TESTS AT
TIE EXPERIMENT STATION

There IS a rapidly increasing inter
est in the question OF using fertiliz-
ers iii the Delta. Many planters arc
taking the view, which is the correct
one, | think that because their soil
is naturally fertile is no reason why
its capacity to grow crops should
not be increased if it can be done so
prohtably. Il is simply a business
proposition, and in order to proceed
in D business way, the planter wants
to know what fertilizer is needed,
and how and when to- apply it Our
work was planned TO cover these
points.
The land selected for the tests has
been planted in cotton continuously
for many years. 1t is light sandy
loan soil and is we'll drained The
tests were in duplicate, on different
parts OF the cut and the result given
are the average :
On the first plot. which we will
designate as Cut A" we planted to
test the fertiliizng value for cotton,
OF cowpeas In corn the previous year
and. also, the value OF four hundred
pounds of cotton seed meal as fer
tilizer for cotton.
"Cut B.. was used to test the eff
feet of nitrogen, phosphorus acid. and
potash, applied singly and in differ
ent combinations, in order to deter
mine what is needed as cotton fer
tlilizer for this class of Delta soil.
"Cut c" was used to test the effect
OF cotton seed meal as fertilizer
for corn.
Now, IN addition to the above. a
test similar TO that OF Cut B was
made on very stiff gurnbo ior buck
shot soil. -.
The result Of the tests was as fol
lows:
Cut A-The yield OF cotton per
acre on the plot riot fortified was
1880 pounds OF seed cotton, giving
45s pounds Of lint and szz pofnds Of
seed
The plots fertilized with 400 lbs

The more he struggled the deeper

but they did not hear him.
His wise dog set off after the 9th

plainly as he could that Crorin was
in trouble. 1t ran towards them and
then away a dozen times, and barked
and showed such manifest signs OF
distress that they followed it.

this time His friends could not go
closer to him than six or seven feet
or they would have been engulfed
too. They finally uprooted several
birch saplings and pried him out.
