I would use an s-3-4 fertilizer at the
rate of five or six hundred pounds to
the acre At least 400 pounds of the
fertilizer may be USED under the drill
row at time of planting the corn, and 200
pounds used as side application, say
six weeks after planting. The selection
of a suitable variety of corn for your
locality and thorough cultivation of the
land after planting, are essential fac
tors in securing good yield. With the
fertilizer indicated you should be able
to secure a fine crop If the weather con-
ditions are at all favorable. You are
acting wisely In preparing your cotton
land as you have indicated The use or
leaf mold and manure is to be COM
mended, and the plan of mixing it with
the subsoil and fertilizer before plant
ing is a good practice. For this land
we would suggest the use of an s-S-4 fer
tilizer, at the rate OF 40 to 500 pounds

a son that IS interested in the boys corn

your judgment for him TO plant to get
a large yield?
There are several good varieties of
corn for cultivation in Georgia. You do
not state whether your land is bottom
or upland soil, but we presume il is the
latter kind. and that being true. you win
find some OF the prolific varieties better
adapted for cultivation thereon than the
larger-eared sorts which give better re-
suits on the rich low land along rivers
and creeks We have tested several va
rieties Of prolific corn on the college farm
and OF these the Whatley's. Hastings
and Marlboro have proven the most sat

sort. but apparently not quite so well inn
proved as some OF the other strains; at
least. Il is difficult to secure seed that
gives US as good results as we secure
from the three varieties first mentioned.

Rotten pine wood would have but little
eject on the fertility of land. OF course,
IL would contain a small amount Of pot
ash, a trace of PHOSPHORUS and posi-
bly, a little lime. The composition of
wood. as you doubtless know, varies ma
terially; hardwoods are richer in the
plant foods than the soft woods. 1t oc-
ours TO US that raking up the leaves
and litter Of the woods. and blowing it
under, would be more economical and
would give you relatively better results
than attempting to use the pine wood to
which you refer. OF course, any vegeta-
bic matter or rich soil which you can
add 10 your sandy soil win be helpful
The blowing under Of cowpeas and other
legumnous crops will do more to inn
prove the soil than any other method
which you can follow, and should put
the land in very good condition for the
growth of Irish potatoes for the next
year. Land for cowpeas should be fer
tilted well with PHOSPHORUS and pot
ash. using, say, a 10-6 or 1927 formula, at
rate OF 600 to 500 pounds per acre. A
