IRISH POTATO FER
TJLIZER EXPERIMENTS

Bulletin No. 101 of the Texas Agri.
cultural Experiment Stations, by w
S. Hotchkiss and e. ]. Kyle gives the
results of a series of experiments in
the use of fertilizers with the Irish pc.
tato. The experiments began at
Troupe in 1903. Since, then the work
has been continued each year, with
the exception of 1905, when all the
potatoes rotted in the ground ON ac-
count of the unusually wet weather.
The total results show that nitrogen
gave very beneficial results through
out the four years, whether used in the
form of cotton seed meal or nitrate
of soda. When used in a complete
fertilizer the results show that there
was very little difference between the
nitrate of soda and cotton seed meal.
The average yield OF the nitrogen plats
as against the check plats shown in
increase of q bushels in favor of the
nitrogen.
Acid phosphate alone gave good re-
suits three out of four years and in
crease enough to be slightly profitable
the other year. The average increase
in yield in trial over the average yield
of the check plat exceeds 20 bushels.
Nitrogen and phosphoric acid COM
bined averaged as much in the four
years as the varying amounts of nj
trogen and phosphoric acid combined
with potash. Averaging thenitrogen
plats as against nitro gen-phos-
phoric acid plats, the latter exceed
the former in average yield for four
years by about 20 bushels.
Comparing the acid phosphate plats
with the acid phosphate-potash plats
shows that the latter out-yielded the
former by an average of only Clio of
a bushel for the four years.
Averaging the check plats as
against the potash plats, the latter out
yielded the former by an average of
four bushels in the four years-about
enough to pay for the potash.
During the four years, potash gave
comparatively negative results. The
total results would hardly justify its
use so far as yield is concerned The
fact has been demonstrated, however,
that potash has some influence on
the keeping ana carrying quality OF
fruits and vegetables; and as the pota-
to is grown almost exclusively for ear
ly shipping, the use of a small amount
Of potash is probably advisable.
Since il has been demonstrated that |
nitrogen is one of the elements most |
lacking in the SOIL ii is very advisa-
BILE, when possible, to turn under a |
crop of cowpeas on the land in ad-
vance of planting the potato crop The |
potatoes are harvested so early in the
season there is plenty of time to
grow good crop of peas for turning
lnder during the fall
Judging from the beneficial results
obtained from both sources of nitro
zen, and from the fact it takes some
ime for cotton seed meal to become
lvailable, nitrate of soda being avail
lble at once, it would seem that the
'est possible results would be to use

some of both elements. II this is
done, the fertilizer could be applied
just before planting, instead of ten
days in advance, as is now recon-
mended for cotton seed meal.
The nitrate of soda would supply the
nitrogen at the beginning of growth,
and, about the time 1t was giving out,
the cotton seed meal would become
available and carry the crop on to ma
turity. While We have not yet tried
this mixture, the indications are that
it will prove most satisfactory. The
following formula is therefore recon-
mended for all sandy East Texas soils:
1000 lbs. Acid phosphate, IA per Ct
700 lbs. Cotton seed meal.
200 lbs. Kainit.
100 lbs Nitrate of soda.
This formula will give per cent
acid phosphate, 800 per cent nitrogen,
II per cent potash. In case no nitrate
of soda or potash is available, the fol
lowing is suggested: 1,200 lbs. acid
phosphate; 500 lbs. cotton seed meal.
From 100000 lbs. of such formula
should be used per acre.

A Start For 1909

The final meeting of the Fourth of July committees for the 1908 celebra. tion was held at Natatorium Hall last night, The bills were audited and allowed and next week we will publish a complete statement of the Finance committee. It is now known that there will be balance of between two and three hundred dollars left over. A motion was carried that this sum be held over for starter for the big cele- bration to be held on Douglas Island on July 4th, 1909.

 The people ot Dougla- Island are very well salis6ed with the results of their efforts for the celebration was a grand success. Perfect good nature abounded. There were no fights and no bad trunks.
 Mir. Fred Purintou, who umpired the ball games, gave perfect satisfaction to all. A good umpire helps out a poor game.
 On Sunday afternoon the Juneau and Douglas Infants played ball for a purse of 525. This was the only place that Douglas won great honor. After a hotly contested game the score was 5 to 2, in favor of Douglas.
 The prize for the best sustained character in the Fourth of July parade was won by little Esther HiIe, who im- personated a very diminutiVe darkey. The second prize was awarded to Anna Penglase, who looked so much like real plains Indian that you could almost hear the war hoop Each of the three little girls dressed In Japanese costumes were given S250, because they were entitled to some thing for their efforts. The "Roose- welt" prize was awarded to August Anderson, who appeared in the parade with bis wife and six children.
