Using Compost with FERTILIZERS

NJ f. NJ, Bailey, Ca, writes: Will
you please advise me as to the best aud
most economical fertilizer for corn and
cotton What kind of chemicals should
be used I'm a home compost. Can l buy
fertilizer through the Agricultural coli
ege?
The kind of fertilizer to use for cora
and cotton will depend very considerably
on the condition of the land on which
you intend TO grow these crops. For
sandy land one should use a fertilizer
containing higher per cent of potash than
where clay predominates. A fertilizer for
either of these crops should be well sup
piled with available phosphoric acid and
a fair amount of potash. A satisfactory
yield will be more certain to follow IL the
land is we'll supplied with vegetable mat
ter. There is no special benefit to be de-
rived from using compost to which com
mercial fertilizers have been added. IL
you have a quantity of compost which
you have made from decayed leaves,
farmyard manure and refuse of one kind
and another, II can be applied in the drill
at the same time as the commercial fer
tilizer. or it may be scattered over the
ground and worked into the surface with
q harrow. The principal thing is to set
a sufficient amount of vegetable matter
into the soil to improve its physical con-
dition and enable 1t to absorb and hold
water to better advantage. Water is the
medium through which the plant food in
the soil is dissolved and brought In con-
tact with the roots of the plants, and the
more vegetable matter In the soil the
greater it's power to absorb and hold
water and yield it up to the crops dur
ing drought periods.
A good combination to use on corn
would be a mixture Of 1000 pounds of
acid phosphate containing 16 per cent of
available phosphoric acid, 600 pounds of
takage containing per cent of nitrogen
and II per cent of phosphoric acid, and
200 pounds OF muriate of potash contain
ing 90 per cent of available potash. To
bring this mixture up TO 1000 pounds you
may add 200 pounds of rich compost. This
fertilizer would then contain approx
mately "a per cent of nitrogen, 9.5 per
cent of phosphoric acid and per cent of
potash.
A good fertilizer to use on cotton would
be 1000 pounds of acid phosphate. 400
pounds OF dried blood, containing 10 per
cent of nitrogen, 16O pounds of muriate
of potash and $50 pounds of rich compost.
This mixture would contain approximate
ly per cent of nitrogen. per cent Of
phosphoric acid and per cent of potash.
1t should be used at the rate of 500 to
1000 pounds per acre. We would suggest
that you make an application of 300
pounds I'm the drill row at the time of
planting and two side applications of 200
pounds each during the growing season.
The College of Agriculture does not
supply fertilizer to any one. 1t is our
privilege and our duty TO give all the in
formation possible on this subject free of
cost to farmers I'm any part of the state.
Farther than this we cannot go.

goods you save on the cost of freight and
IN the handling of material. You also
use a more concentrated ration on your
plants and thereby stimulate an increased
growth and yield One must use fair
amount of fertilizer IL he expects TO OBJ
tain a market increase of crop produc-
tion. for It should be remembered that
a crop will not likely utilize all the plant
foot applied to the soil even in favor
able season. Hence, it is often advisable
10 put more fertilizer on the land than
one expects to be used during a single
seasons growth When the land Il
properly handled there will be compar-
atively little danger of the fertility BE-
ing leached away and lost.
one should be able to buy nitrogen
at a cost of from 16 to is cents pound,
available phosphoric acid and potash at
from to cents a pound. You should
also bear in mind the fact that you can
often get the fertilizer manufacture
TO prepare a special ration for your lana
and mix the same for you at a reason
able cost, and when you can purchase
a mixed fertilizer under these condi-
lions at as low a cost as you can GUY
and mix the ingredients for yourself
Il will pay you TO do so. A good ter =
tilizer for corn and cotton on sandy
lands may be prepared as follows: Mix
together loco pounds of high grade acid
phosphate 500 pounds of cottonsced
meal, and $50 pounds of muriate OF
potash This will give you a fertilizer
containing approximately 2.S per cent OF
nitrogen, S.4 per cent of phosphoric acid
ana per cent Of potash.

GALL FOR
STOCKPAYMENTS
PRESIDENT BAGLEY OF FRUIT
EXCHANGE CALLS ON STOCK
HOLDERS FOR FIRST INSTALL
MENTS.

In letters to the stockholders and meme
bers of the Georgia Fruit Exchanges,
President H. C. Bagley. of the exchanges,
calls on them for the payment Of the
first installment of their stock subscrip-
tions. urges them to make personal ap-
peals to growers not in the exchange, and
urges those already holding stock &C. in
crease their holdings, so as TO secure the
additional $50, 600 required to complete the
$1O0, 600 of stock
The first instaIlments of the stock we're
due November lst, December LIST and JAM
uary list. The remaining 20 per cent may
be paid in monthly instailments OF 10
per cent without interest. or a single note
may be given for IL months at Der cent.
The members are urged to appeal to
growers not in the exchange for addition
al shipment pledges and additional stock
subscriptions. They are. also asked 70
send the names and addresses Of such
growers.
Mr.. Bagley also wrote Secretary A. O..
Murphy, of GAINESVILLE. expressing his
appreciation of his election as president,
and pointing out that his refusal of SAL
airy allows him with more propr1ety to call
on the members and trustees for ccntri-
buttons OF their time and services. His
letter TO Mr.. Murphy follows:

GAINESVILLE, Ga:
MY Dear Mr. Murphy:
''I beg to acknowledge notice OF my

Fruit Exchange. and 20 advise my ac-
ceptance. 80 -
Il also desire to advise you and other
members of the board of trustees Of my
appreciation Of the honor and Of my pur-
pose to vigorously press the work of
organization TO completion. with the hope
that we secure for the exchange the CO.
operation OF practically every peach
grower in Georgia and the adjoining
states, thus making absolutely effective
our control OF the markets through proper
distribution of the entire crop.
"In the matter of salary, / wish to
thank the board of trustees for the lib
eral prov sion made. This was intended
to compensate me for the time and effort
required to complete the work Of organ,
ization: but feeling that it will be hiIrtfcl

down with salaries of high-priced officers
have decided not to accept compensa-
ton for my services.
by this arrangement can with more
propriety cali upon each member Of the
board of trustees and each member Of the
exchange to freely contribute their time
and services, and all of US can more easi-
~ meet the criticism of those whose in
terests are opposed to the success of the

QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT.
Which Form of Fertihxer Is Best

phosphoric acid and potash. Apply this
mixture at the rate OF 1000 pounds and
100 pounds OF potash have been added TO
the soil. A fertilizer in this quantity is
bound to have an appreciable effect on
crop yield, and the experience OF those
who have tested the merits of high-grade
goods used in large amounts bears out
the truth Of this statement
Much wonder is frequently expressed
by the farmer as 70 why he cannot raise
a larger and better crop of Irish potatoes.
His fertilizer mixture is often at fault.
and certainly he uses an insufficient
amount OF plant food. For this crop per
cent Of nitrogen. per cent OF phosphoric
acid and 8 to 10 per cent OF potash will
be found about right. A great many pota-
to growers now use from l.5O0 to 5000
pounds and raise two crops per year on
the same land. This can be done success
fully in practically all sections OF the
south. but not by the farmer who Is still
using 500 pounds of material containing
only 4 per cent Of potash.
A fertilizer containing per cent of
nitrogen. per cent OF phosphoric acid
and 10 per cent OF potash will be found
about right for tobacco. This crop makes
a very heavy draft on potash, and hence
IL must be supplied in large amounts In
commercial form. What has been said of
the need OF potash on cabbage win apply
with equal force to many other truck
crops. as. for instance, tomatoes. Thus.
IL appears that this is one OF the most
important elements to be applied to the
majority OF our farm crops throughout
the entire Southeastern states where the
soil formation and composition are such
as to Indicate the need of potash. and
where both practical and scientific expe-
riments have so frequently demonstrated
the great benefits which flow from its
use. EE..A
