The force will be increased shortly from

der the circumstances apply at least 20
to 100 pounds of muriate of potash. The
potash should be put on wnen the cotton
is planted, as it is rather slow acting
material and it should be put in the soil
so as to give the plants an opportunity
to assimlate it. and, therefore, stimulate
growth and keep in Vigorous condition.
OF course, when cotton rusts badly ana
the leaves are shed, you cannot expect
good yield. for the leaves constitute the
lungs of the plant.
is PLEASED WITH THE AGRICUL-
TURAL COLUMNS.
W. ]. B., Waverly Hail., Ga, writes:
I find the agricultural department a
great help to us farmers; / think II Is
the best part of the paper. What time
should corn and cotton be planted II the
weather is fit? How often should cotton
be plowed? 1 have only been farming for
two years, and want to make bale Oh
cotton to the acre. What is the best
early sweet potato. for market. and when
should the slips be set out? What is the
best variety of corn?
In your section of the state cotton, may
be planted any time after April 10, I'M
less the season is very unfavorable. that
is. cold, wet and backward. We would
prefer to have cotton in the ground be-
fore May /, and while some advocate
very early planting, our experience indl-
ca ties that planting before the ground IS
warmed up is inadvisable. for if the
crop does terminate and a good stand
is secured the plants are injured by the
cold weather and do not make strong
vigorous start. Cotton should be culti-
waited frequently. enough to keep the
crust broken on the ground and prevent
the loss of moisture through evaporation
into the air The m,re frequently it can
be cultivated the better provided shallow
cultivation is practiced. AS late culti-
walton as possible is desirable in order to
insure the maturity of the largest num-
Der of bolls, and it is especially important
to continue late cultivation if the season
is dry.
Among the best early varieties of
sweet potatoes are the Early Golden,
Bermuda Red, Orleans Red and the
Georgia Yam. The slips should be set
out as soon as danger of frost is past.
Corn should be planted as soon as the
ground is warm enough in the spring to
insure it's quick termination. We would
say in this locality from April 1 to 10.
Some will advocate earlier planting. In
south Georgia planting may be done in

Do not attempt to subsoil your land
this late in the season. Subsoiing had
best be done in the fall Break the land
| If you have not already done so thor
oughly, say eight to ten inches deep.
Prepare a seed bed as carefully as pos
sible and broadcast over the surface
from four to eight tons of yard manure
which may be worked into the surface
with disk cultivator. If you only have
a limited amount of lot manure, furrow
should be opened so it can be placed un-
der the drill row. We would use on land
such as you describe a 1913 fertilizer at
the rate of 500 to 600 pounds per acre.
The fertilizer may be mixed with the
manure if put under the drill row or 1t
may be put into the soil at the time the
corn is planted If you have comblna-
ton fertilizer drill and planter There is
no objection to putting the fertilizer I'M
der the drill row week before planting,
provided only a part of the nitrogen con-
tanned is in the form of nitrate of soda
Personally, we would be disposed to put
all the fertilizer under the drill row at
the time of planting. Remember that
the SelGCllOI OI SOOu SCNu
are quite as essential matters as the
mere application of Fertilizers. The
heavier the application of fertilizers used
the more important 1t is to have hbv
eraI supply of vegetable matter in the
soil and cultivate the crop with extra
care.
coUNTERACTING RUST ON COTTON
WITH POTASH.
K, Rhine, Ca, writes: My land is
rather low, and very level. and when the
summer is very seasonable my cotton
will rust more or less. To counterfeit this
tendency to rust how much muriate of
potash should be put with 400 pounds of
9-2-3 guano per acre?
The rusting of cotton is due principally
to three things: First the poverty of the
soil in vegetable matter: second, the need
of drainage, and third, the lack of pot
ash in the soil. The mere application
of potash alone will often prevent the
rusting of cotton, but it Is not a panacea
for this trouble as some seem to think,
because rust may be due to other things
as we'll as deficiency in this element of
plant food Since rust seems to be

it need not be applied. But do not
make the mistake or trying to econo-

nitrate of soda, as fits application dur
ing the growing season on most of our

this YOU should mix 1oO pounds of mu-
rate OF potash with each ton OF the
10-2-2 fertilizer. This will raise the per-
centage Of potash to about ; per cent. The
additional nitrogen may be secured by
top dressing with nitrate of soda at the
rate of 100 pounds per acre after the
corn is up and growing nicely. For cotton
or land such as you describe we would
use a S-S-i fertilizer.

FOR COTTON AFTER
PEA STUBBLE.

T. r. w, Martin, Ga, writes: L
haze three acres in pea stubble that L
want to plant to cotton. The stubble
has not been plowed yet. The soil is
red and gray mixed with stiff clay sub
soil This land was turned good and
deep, then sowed to wheat, then to
peas and moved. This land has been
making a bale of cotton to the acre In
good seasons, but L want more than
that. Would like to know what fertil-
izer to use and when to apply.
The first thing to do is to break the
land you intend to plant in cotton as
completely and thoroughly as possible
as soon as the ground will do to turn
It is important that the land be broken
some time in advance of planting so it
may have a chance to settle down and
thus provide a firm though not too
compact seed bed. If your land has a
good stin clay subsoil, it is a fairly
fertile land and will respond to the
use of fertilizers and will retain them
because of the compactness of the sub
soil. The pea stubble will add some
plant food to your land, though you
should always make it a point to turn
pea stubbie land in the fall, since a
part of the nitrogen left in the roots
and fallen leaves is likelysto be washed
away by the winter rains. We would
suggest on land such as you describe
that YOU use a 3-1O-3 fertilizer at the
rate of not less than 500 to 500 pounds
per acre. If the nitrogen in this fer
tilizer is secured from cotton seed meal,
