QUERIES ANSWERED

GROWING CORN ON FRESH LAND.
A. J. B.. Dial. Ga, writes: / have a
piece OF land that was never cultivated,
which I want to cultivate next spring.
The land is cove land, being OF a yellow
ish color. Please give me all the in
formation you can in regard to the best
way 10 cultivate this fresh land to get
IA good yield OF corn the first year
We judge that land which has never
been cultivated should be in a fair state
of fertility. Corn. as you know, is a
gross feeding plant and draws heavily OF,
all the essential elements Of plant food.
It makes a particularly heavy draft on
nitrogen. and therefore this element must
be contained in the soil or supplied in
abundance I'm order to in
sure a large crop OF corn. Corn also uses
considerable quantities OF phosphoric aciI
and potash. On this account we would
suggest that you use at least 300 pounds
OF lO-4 fertilizer on your new land,
as most OF our soils are deficient in phos-
phoric acid and potash. You can tell rath-
er quickly after planting whether your
corn is likely to make a strong and Wig
orous growth. and its color viii be the
best indication OF whether there Is an
abundance OF available nitrogen in the

AN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
By R. ]. H. DeLoach

derstand the other by o national indus
trial commission or arbitration board. the
country would be the gamer far out OF

comm'ss Is Taa n
The mills concede that the price OF cot
ton is not too high. vet they can NOT
fail to see that such action as they have
taken actually cost the farmers of the
country right about $50 900 the tenth day
after the meeting of the industrial asso
citation. Possibly the farmers should help
bear the burden. but the real issue Is
this-the mills should not have the priv.
ilege of passing Judgment on the mai
ter for all concerned. which it virtually
amounts TO, since their action seems IT,
vitality affect the price of cotton. The
point uppermost in the mind of the writer
is that all should help bear the burden
but let the matter be submitted to ar
arbitration commission, whose duty Il
shall be to investigate the cost OF rais-
ing cotton. and the cost of manufactur-
Ing, and such report as they make an
nually, or oftener. be distributed among
all people. The commission need not con-
ine its work to any particular line Of
Industry, but should turn its attention to

the British government Is very bright,
and surely there is no time for delay IN
adjusting our own affairs to the best
interests of the nation. England is in
doubt as to the meaning OF the inconsis-
tency of the situation In America, as
shown above. since short crop means high
price for raw material. and vet an over

the explanation of the low price OF finish

STATE FARM SUPPLIES
TO BE WELL CHECKED

A thorough check will hereafter be
kept on all articles of supply purchased
for the state farm. under the new system
that the prison commission has inaugur-
ated. The auditor at the farm in Mil
ledgeville has been made purchasing
agent for all the departments OF that in
stitution.
Departments wanting supplies will
make requisition for their wants to the
farm superintendent, who must in turn
make requisition for them on the auditor
The auditor is authorized to approve them
II the amount involved is not over SIS
If 1t is over that amount the auditor
must make requisition on the prison
commission. This system means a
thorough tracing record for every pur-
chase.
The commission is also making ar
rangements for the working Of white and
negro prisoners in separate squads here
after at the farm, carrying out the law
requiring separation Of the races when
ever possible.

III a recent address before tho stu

Luther Burbank made comforting
rep,rt OF progress In his experiments
Wills the new species OF spineless cac-
tus. On his own place at Santa Rosa
ne has demonstrated that 80 tons Of
cactus fruit can be grown on one acre
of ground. This Is an average OF one
FULL wheelbarrow load to the square
yari. The fruit contains 1s per cent.
Of sugar and Is as wholesome as an
apple. ''No plant I'm the world pro-
duces 20 profusely and such nourish-
ing food as this thornless cactus"
rhis very large statement appears In
the reports OF the address In the San
Frsnc,sco newspapers. Perhaps 1t is
as we'll to await confirmation Of the
claims put forward for the new plant
before buying up desert lands on a
speculation. but unless Mr.. Burbank
mas beer mIsquoted again and again
In this matter. his new plant Is bound
10 lead 10 sensational results in desert
farming. He finds that while his cac-
tus yields best under cultivation. Il
drives out the desert cactus on its
own ground because Of deeper roots.
The only obstacle yet found to It's
spread over large desert areas is It's
inability TO defend itself against the
attacks OF rabbits and other desert
animals. Nothing can harm the old
fashioned cactus on account of It's
guard of thorns. The new cactus In
vites instead OF repels attack. and
therefore must be protected against
browsing animals.
