quantities per acre on cotton, and in
all cases a fastening of maturity was
effected. On the unfertiliZed plats, in
all tests during the years, it has
been found that in most cases the
larger the yield the greater the COM
bined percentage of seed cotton open
at the first two pickings. At the end
of the second picking there was but
little difference, relatively, between
the percentages of seed cotton open
on those plats which received differ
ent quantities of fertilizer and differ
ent fertilizer combinations; but on
these there was something like SO
per cent more open, as an average,
than there was on the plats which re-
ceived no fertilizer application. From
the unfertilized plats about rs per
cent Of the cotton was picked at third
and fourth pickings; while those re-
ceiving an application of commercial
fertilizer only had about 60 per cent
of the corn left to open at these pick
ings.
Effects of Carriers of Phosphoric
Acid.
AS carriers of phosphoric acid, acid
phosphate. basic Stag and finely
ground phosphate rock have been
tested and all have been found to
hasten the maturity of cotton as
shown by the percentage Of seed cot
ton open at first and second pickings.
In fact. the fastening of the matur-
ity was decidedly more marked from
phosphate fertilizing material than
from carriers Of potash and nitrogen.
When 1876 pounds of acid phos-
plate was added to an application
consisting of mixture of 48 pounds
OF manure salt and rs pounds of
dried blood. there was almost 13 per
cent increase in seed cotton open at
the first picking and more than Z per
cent increase at the end of the Sec
ond picking. This application also
gave % at the first picking and IL
per cent at the end of second picking
more Of the total yield open than
was secured from the adjoining plat
which had received no fertilizer
treatment.
Basic Stag was found to hasten ma
turity even more than acid phosphate.
On the plot to which phosphoric acid,
In connection with normal applica-
ton Of potash and nitrogen, was sup
piled from acid phosphate, it was
found that about 12A per cent less
or total cotton was open at first pick
ing than on the plat from which the
phosphoric acid in equal quantities
was furnished from basic Stag under
the same conditions. When this lat
ter material was applied in the drill
In connection with a ton of stable
manure per acre. the effects upon
Fastening maturity were markedly
reduced.
Where high-grade finely ground
phosphate rock as a carrier of phos-
phoric acid was used at the rate of
ETA pounds per acre in connection
with a ton Of stable manure. and
both were applied in the drill, it was
noted that the percentage Of total
seed cotton open at first picking was
about 35 per cent, and at the end of
the second more than 20 per cent
greater, than on an unfertilized plat
adjacent.

found to hasten the maturity of cot
ton, but not any ways near to the eX-
tent that carriers of phosphoric acid
do. The effects Of the common nitro
gen carriers seem to be felt only at
the first picking, as there is no evil
dence from results secured that af-
fected the percentage of total crop
open at the second picking. When
used with normal amounts of acid
phosphate and manure salt, increas-
ing the amount of blood, as the car
rier of nitrogen, was attended by an
increase in the percentage of total
crop open at the first picking, up to
200 to 800 pounds per acre of the
blood.
With cottonseed as carrier of nj
trogen and applied in the drill at
planting, the effect upon maturity
was about the same as where dried
blood was used; while in the case of
stable manure there was a material
increase in the percentage of total
crop open at the first picking. but
showed no difference at the second
picking.
Effects of Carriers of Potash.
Manure salt was the only potas ID
bearing salt used? 1t was found.
when used at the rate OF as pounds
per acre. to hasten the maturity of
cotton but slightly.
Slaked lime applied alone during
the spring Of 1903 and 1907 did not
seem to increase the maturity OF cot
ton in any year as shown by the per-
centages open at the first and second
pickings being about the same as for
the unfertilized land; but, when used
in connection with normal applica-
ton of mixture of acid phosphate.
manure salt and dried blood, a mark
ed Fastening in maturity was noted.
Effects of Different Quantities.
1t has been observed for the types
OF soil studied that increasing the
amount Of the application per acre of
fertilizer analyzing per cent avail
able phosphoric acid, q per cent nj
trogen and q per cent potash, from
200 to 500. or 1900 pounds, that
such an increase was accompanied
generally by an increase in the per-
centage of total seed cotton OF whole
crop open at the first picking.
The following tentative deductions
may be made relative 10 the iniiu-
ence of fertilizer upon the growth OF
cotton:
"a Fertilization with ordinary APP
plications Of commercial fertilizers
hastens maturity.
(2) Sandy and sandy loan soils,
whether fortified or unfsrtilized
yield larger percentages OF total cot
ton open at the first two plckings
combined than do red clay soils.
CD Heavy phosphoric acid fertil.
ization on sandy and sandy loan
soils and medium heavy applications
OF phosphoric acid from basic slae
have produced the largest percen.
tages of total seed cotton open at the
first picking.
Cd Normal fertilization yields on
both sandy and red clay soils a larger
percentage open at the first picking
than high nitrogen application.
