fertilizer in the old sweep furrow, and
both sides of every other middle, and
cover by working out this middle with
a turning pillow. A week later treat the
other middle the same way. Within a few
days side the corn in the first middle with
a 16-inch sweep and put your nitrate of
soda in this furrow. Cover with one fur
row of turning pillow and then sow peas
in this middle broadcast and finish break
ing out The stalks thus raised are very
small and do not require much moisture.
On this account they may be left thicker
in the row. Mr.. Williamson says further
not to be discouraged by the looks OF
your corn during the process of cultiva-
ton, as it will yield out of all proper
ton to it's appearance. He considers the
final application of nitrate of soda as an
essential point in the ear making process,
and this should be applied at the last
blowing and unmixed with the other fer
tilizers. He says he is satisfied with one
ear per stalk. and where the corn is
planted in six foot rows he leaves the
plants inches apart for a yield of 100
bushels: IL inches apart for a yield of
70 bushels, and 16 inches apart for a
yield of so bushels.
This method, you will see, is quite diff
ferent frNrn the practice now followed by
our farmers in the cultivation of corn.
Mr.. Williamson seems to have been quite
successful in its use, though he advises
all who try it to go slowly. His meth
cd consists, as you will see, in a much
more thorough cultivation of the land
than has been given to it in past. Deep
and thorough breaking, careful and per-
sistent cultivation and heavy applica-
lions of fertilizers being essentials of his
method. There is much diversity of opin-
ion as to the value of the Williamson
method Of corn culture. Many farmers
who have tried it have not found it sat
isfactory; others claim that it is splen-
did thing. Some of the experiment sta
tons seem to think that 1t is not bet
ter than any other method where thor
ough and careful cultivation is given the
land and liberal applications of fertilizer
made. The data in hand hardly justify
one in reaching a definite conclusion con-
corning the matter, though we think the
conclusions reached by the experiment
stations are essentially correct.

:CURING THE FULL VALUE OF COTTON SEED MEAL

was at the rate Of go pounds per acre.
When a similar amount of meal and hulls
were fed to a cow and the resulting man
ure amounting to AHA pounds was ap-
piled 10 q similar area Of land, the yield
Of seed cotton became 427 pounds per
acre, which was an increase of l6l
pounds over the product obtained from
the direct application Of cotton seed meal
and hulls to the soil. On this basis
ton of meal fed with four tons Of hulls
10 a COW and the resulting manure APP
piled to the soil would produce 2,So4.6
pounds more of seed cotton than would
be obtained from applying the meal and
hulls directly to the soil. In 1907 we
shipped abroad some 10000 tons OF cot
ton seed meal II this had been kept at
home and fed to cows and the manure
saved and applied TO the soil, It would
have produced. according TO the expert
ments under discussion, an increase over
the direct application of the meal and
hulls TO the soil OF Lon, 200 bales Of cot
ton. which at $50 bale would be worth
SIS $1,000. Our farmers received about
$4,000 for the meal exported, or a
little more than SIS a ton.
In 1907 there were manufactured in
the south LIS. SIS tons Of meal. Follow
ing the line OF reasoning already indicat-
ed, this IL fed to cows instead of used
directly on the soil would have increased
the yield of cotton by 2742.S95 bales,
worth s1S7, 149 80. AS a matter of fact,
our cotton seed by-products brought in
the neighborhoOd Of s1O0O00.Oo0. How HIT
tie OF the potential value Of cotton seed
meal we are securing at the present time
If these figures are worthy of our con-
sideration- Yet there is hardly a farmer
who has used vegetable matter in his
soil either in the form of farmyard ma
uure compost or green crOps ploWed
under, who does not realize how much
the soil is benefited thereby. Suppose,
for arguments sake, however, we d.
vide the figures quoted by three. We
stfIl have $45,7ls.5Ss on the credit side
Of the ledger. which means that the
farmer would indirectly obtain nearly
two and half times as much per ton for
his cotton seed meal as he actually OBJ
tanned for It.

school Contests for Georgia children

The State College of Agriculture of the
University OF Georgia, in order TO en-
courage the study OF corn, cotton and
live stock during the year 1909 in the
schools OF the state, offers prizes for a
contest under the following rules:
1. Any common, high or district agri-
cultural school may contest with corn
or cotton grown on the schools proper
ty by the pupils.
2. Amy pupil of common, high or dis
tract school may contest with corn, cot
ton. chickens or hogs grown or raised
at home by his Efforts, provided he is of
school age.
g. At least one-tenth of an acre must
be in cultivation In each plot Of corn or
cotton. A plot this size could be either
66x66 feet. SSx1S2 feet, or 40 1-2xsS feet,
and would contain 1856 square feet.
T. Each county contest viii be under
the immediate direction OF the county
school commissioner and his corps of
teachers.
5. The district schools and their pupils

at which each contestant viii exhibit ten
ears Of corn or five stalks of cotton, or
both, grown by the contestant with de-
scription of the years cultivation, yield,

hibits 10 the State College of Agriculture.
there to contest for state prizes. In case
there should not be a county contest, an
individual who wishes to enter the state
contest can send his exhibit directly TO
the State College of Agriculture.
s. The county prizes will be offered and
awarded by the county, and will be as
many and Of such character as the school
officials may decide. The state prizes will
be as follows:
a The first fifty counties or district
agricultural schools that register with the
Nature Study bureau. State College of
Agriculture. Athens, Ga, as entering this
contest will be given So as a nucleus for
county or district prizes. The money is
TO be paid when the contest is held in the
fall.

The per cent of the several ingredients
contained in a mixture of 1900 pounds or
cotton seed meal, 5000 pounds of phos-
phoric acid and $500 pounds of kainit will
depend on the grade of materials pur-
chased. The percentages figures out on
the basis of cotton seed meal containing
z per cent of nitrogen 2 per cent Of phos-
phoric acid and ? per cent of potash; the
acid phosphates, 16 per cent of avail
able phosphoric acid, and the kainit, II
per cent of available potash, would be
is per cent of nitrogen SIS per cent Of
phosphoric acid and 35 per cent of pot
ash. We would regard this fertilizer as
low in potash for sandy lands, and would
suggest that you cut down the amount
of kainit used by 300 pounds and add 300
pounds of muriate of potash, which will
make ii analyze about 81 per cent Of
potash, which is about the right amount
60 use for corn and cotton on sandy
lands. Six hundred pounds Of this MKT
ure per acre would be a fairly liberal
amount, and should give you good re-
suits. provided you have prepared your
land well by careful blowing and cul-
tivating, and use selected seed at the
time of planting The cultivation of the
crop after a stand is obtained is of
course a very important matter. Do not
be in a hurry to lag ny. Cultivate shall
low, thoroughly and persisently until late
in the season, and your chances for a
large yield will be increased thereby.

Chicken manure in it's fresh state con.
tains from so TO so per cent of water,
/ to L5 per cent of nitrogO and IS to
10 per cent each of phosphoric acid
and potash. When thoro sGhly air dried,
ii only contains from 10 to 20 per cent
Of water. and the fertilizing constituents
are about doubled. You should not have
mixed the manure an dthe wood ashes
together as the lime in the ashes will
tend to set free the ammonia in the
chicken manure. We would suggest that
you use this compost under the drill rows
for the various crops which you expect to
grow in your garden and then make up
mixture for general fertilization some
what as follows: 1900 pounds of high
grade acid phosphate, 900 pounds of cot
ton seed meal, and 200 pounds of sulphate
of potash. This mixture will contain APP
proximately 81 per cent of nitrogen, 0.2
per cent of phosphoric acid and 56 per
cent of potash. It should be used at the
rate Of 300 to 1.OOo pounds per acre under
truck crops You will notice that this
fertilizer contains a high per cent OF
phosphoric acid and potash-two elements
essential for the nourishment of the
Irish potato. You will also observe
that sulphate of potash has been sug-
gested in the place of muriate, as the
former is supposed to produce potato
which cooks better. We think you will
find it better to proceed along the lines
suggested rather than to attempt to
make a compost with the small amount
of chicken manure that you have, and
the two applied separately will give you
just as good results as II mixed to-
gether

The essential features of the Williamson
method of raising corn are as follows:
The land should first be broken with
disk pillow, and deeper than Is customary,
say from 10 to u inches. All the land
should be turned: deepening the soil, how
ever, should be a gradual process; that
is, one should not pillow land ten inches
the first year that has only been broken
four inches. No fertilizer should be used
at the time of planting, which tends to
stunt or lessen the growth in the early
part of the season. The rows should be
six feet apart, and the plants from ten
TO eleven inches in the drill. Liberal fer
tilization should be practiced. Mr.. VIII
Hanson suggests. for instance, 200 pounds
of cotton seed meal, 200 pounds of acid
phosphate and 400 pounds of kainit, max
ing 800 pounds of high-grade material per
acre. He also suggests side application
of at least 125 pounds of nitrate of soda,
planting to be done as soon as danger OF
frost is passed. When the plants are from
Is to is inches high begin to feed them
and pursue rapid and shallow cultivation.
A harrow may be used for the first Gull
tivation; for the second, II inch sweep.
No working should follow then until
the growth of the corn has been retarded,
and as Mr.. Williamson says, looks worse
than you have ever seen any corn look
before. Then put on half of your mixed
