TION CEASE?
W. c. II. Cohutta. Ca. writes: We
have four acres Of cotton about a foot
high. and l wish TO know how long
IL will pay to cultivate IL? Is there
anything that can be put on land that
has been in sedge grass for some time
that will benefit il and prepare it for
another crop any better than COW peas /?
Our experience indicates that the
continuous cultivation of cotton as late
into the season as possible is advfs-
able. and especially would this be true
in a season like the present when such
small amount Of water has fallen.
Keeping the surface of the soil stirred
preserves a dust mulch and tends to
cause the water to accumulate in the
soil, finding its way out through the
leaves and tissues of the plant thus
stimulating growth. Late cultivation is
desirable because the fruiting season
Is an important one in the life history

TOP DRESSING FOR COTTON.
L. II. e., Stillmore, Ca, writes: l am
going to try some of Armour's special
top dresser. / think they claim it anal
Yves 4-5-2>5 | want to use it on cot
ton. Please advise how much per acre
and when it should be applied in wet
or dry soil? Should it be put on top
or plowed in?
1t is difficult to advise you as to the
best method of using any special brand
of fertilizer Without knowing the mater
ials which enter into it's composition. A
formula containing 4 per cent of phos-
phorus. 7.5 per cent of nitrogen and 2.5
per cent of potash is highgrade, and the
use of a complete fertilizer when the
cotton is about one-third to one-half
developed is often good practice. This
is particularly true on land which is
very sandy, and more likely on that ac-
count to be deficient in the mineral
elements of plant food. on soils which
have received a heavy application at the
time of planting the use of a complete
fertilizer is not so important though,
of course, the more clay predominayins
in the soil the less important is the use
of a complete fertilizer as side april
cation If the nitrogen in this formula
is derived from nitrate of soda it will
become very quickly available. The
chances are that part is derived from
nitrate of soda and a part from cotton
seed meal, blood or tankage In that
even Incorporating II with the soil to a
depth of two or thITe inches is not OBJ
jectionable and this is particularly de-
sirable if the ground is very dry. One
way to put on is to scatter it ahead
of the cultivator, thus the fertilizer is
Incorporated with the soil and the
ground stirred at one operation. The
amount to use will depend much on
what you have applied already. If
you used as much as 500 to 500 pounds
of high-grade fertility, then 200 to 800
pounds of this mixture should be am
pie.

Your suggestion relative to planting
rye in cotton at the last cultivation is
a good one provided you can secure the
termination and growth of the rye at
that season o. the year. Most of the
experiments we2have attempted to make
with cereals seeded at the time indicated
have not proven satisfactory, and we
can hardly commend the practice wItn
expectation of success. OF course, II
the season is unusually wet. you may
secure a stand, but in our judgment you
would find il better not to attempt 10
grow anything in the cotton until you
have made the second and third pick
ing. Then sow rye or oats in the open
furrow by means of single stalk drill,
using as much as 200 to $500 pounds
of fertilizer under the seed In this
way termination and development will
take place with sufficient rapidity to
prevent washing and teaching of the
land during the winter, and there viii
be little danger of losing the crop
through freezing when planted by TINS
method. The rye will make a more Wig
orous development than the oats ana
will grow more rapidly in the spring.
In fact rye may often be used as GOV.
er crop and plowed under early enough
to permit of the preparation of the IanG
for cotton. 1t is important to pillow the
rye under when it is comparatively small
as it grows rapidly when the spring
opens up and exhausts the moisture
from the soil quickly. When the rye is
plowed down it should be turned under
completely and to a considerable depth.
The roller should Immediately follow
the blowing, and then the land should
be narrowed and worked down so as 70
prepare fine seed bed Land plowed
and prepared in this way In the spring
for cotton is not likely to contain so
much moisture as land which has been
fall plowed. This is an important mat
ter to bear in mind, and one should be
particularly careful when planting cot
ton on spring plowed land to follow
shallow and frequent surface cultivation
so as TO retain the moisture in the soil
until the summer rains come on and
furnish an adequate supply of water.
