wonderful results will follow the plow-
ing under of green crops. OF course
where one can feed live stock and have
yard manure, it is preferable to follow
this practice, but as there are thou
sands of farmers who do not have either
live stock or manure, the next best thing
is to use the legume.
After blowing under green crop and
securing all the manure possible, intel
ligent fertilization becomes essential
High-grade' fertilizers should alone be
used, and as rule, heavier applications
as are ordinarily made will prove most
profitable. We would suggest the use
of not less than 500 to 700 pounds OF
fertilizer for soils such as you have. A
good mixture to use will contain not
less than per cent of nitrogen, 10 per
cent of phosphoric acid and per cent OF
potash.
The choice Of good seed is very i'm
portant. An improved strain of Cooks
cotton will be found. very well adapted
TO your section, though of course there
are many other varieties which can be
grown successfully. AS to corn. the
choice of seed will depend on whether
you desire to grow corn and believe 1t
will make the largest yield on uplands
and thin soils. Among the varieties
which you will find satisfactory for this
purpose are the Marlboro and Whatley
The whatley has made an excellent rec
ord in our demonstration yield where we
have grown it for the past two years.

and Is pounds Of nitrate used as top

became 1855 pounds OF seed cotton per
acre, showing the benefit which follows
the incorporation of the manure with
the soil and the placing of IL under the
drill in immediate contact with the roots
Of the plants. The increase in yield
from this plat was no doubt partly due
TO the fact that the manure placed under
the drill row enabled II to resist
drought more completely than the other
plats. on the next plat a crop Of cow
peas was plowed under and followed by
winter cereal which was also plowed
under. Five tons of manure was added
to this plat under the drill row, and rs
pounds OF nitrate of soda used as a top
dressing with 400 pounds of acid phos-
phate and 100 pounds of muriate Of
potash. Then the yield jumped up to
1850 pounds of seed cotton, or better
than two and a third bales OF lint. This
acre Melted about $3.50. 1t is needless
to say that these figures demonstrate
beyond question the immense benefit
which vegetable matter will confer on
the worn soils of the Piedmont region
and the coastal plais. II is needless TO
comment on the intimate relation be-
