low bed, and for corn on the level or
in the water furrow if the soil is very
sandy After planting, the harrow
should be used for both corn and cotton
to break the crust. When a stand is Sc
cured shallow cultivation may be pur-
sued. This may be done with a one or
two-horse implement. A two-horse plan
ter can be used with satisfaction on fair
ly level land where the rows can be run
comparatively straight for some dis
lance. The small farmer should use an
implement of the Iron Age or Planet Jr
type. Surface cultivation is intended to
nold the moisture in the soil and to
stimulate the root development of the
crop. The practice followed by your
farmer friends destroys large per cent
of the feeding roots of the corn, and
this can only result in lessening the
yield, a fact which has been demonstrate
ed many times by carefully conducted
experiments. The pillow should never be
used to cultivate corn. If you used
heavy fertilization under your corn and
cotton with plenty of vegetable matter
in your soil. it is probable that side
applications and top dressings with
nitrate of soda will be unnecessary In
the absence of vegetable matter and the
mercial plant food at planting time, a
side application of 200 to 300 pounds of a
high grade fertilizer may be used on
both corn and cotton, also a top dress
ing with 100 pounds of nitrate of soda.
APPLYING -GUANO TO COTTON
w. ]. L., Abel. Ca, writes: I have 200
pounds of potash and high-grade guano
per acre for side dressing on my cotton
and would like to- know when to apply
it and whether at the side of the row or
in the middle. and whether to put it deep
or shallow?
A complete fertilizer to be used as a.
side dressing or top application for cot
ton should be put on very soon, and of
course. there is much difference of opin-
ion as to the best method of practice
to follow. Where the land has been
broken with a two-horse pillow and con-
fains any considerable amount of vege-
table matter and has been persistently
cultivated by shallow working imple~
ments. we would broadcast the fertilizer,
but if the land has not been prepared as
suggested and the roots of the plants are
likely to be confined to a relatively mar
raw area 1 nthe sol, we would b eds
posed to put II alongside the drill row.
A formula as you have should be in
corporated with the soil to a depth of
two TO three inches. The fertilizer may
be broadcasted or put down with a dis
tributor. A very good method is to scat
ter ii ahead of the cutilvator and cover
into the soil while working the crop.
Nitrate OF soda II used as top dressing
may be put on later in the season than
