Owing TO his extreme youth and
the ease and comfort to which he had
been accustomed. his comrades did
not expect much from John as a sol.

noble. boy showed that his heart WAS

soldier. He soon became a fayorite OF

In the first serious battle in which he
was engaged a minnie rifle bali struck

Triton is really the apex of these two
great districts, southeast Georgia and
southwest Georgia, the sandy loan eOun-
try and the rich snuff clay country which
has long held the record for cotton Gull
ture of Georgia. And in this great fair to
BE- held next fall. these two fine sections
Will be pitted against each other and the
people of Georgia will have an oppor-
tunity to see exhibits from the two rich
est regions south of the Ohio river.
Southwest Georgia Is especially noted
for upland cotton, Sumatra tobacco and
pecan culture, while southeast Georgia
is the home of the Sea Island cotton,
sugar cane and sweet potato. On these
six products these two sections can stand
against the world as money makers and
those who desire to see the wealth of
Georgia in lavish display will find it in
profusion at this fair.
Within the next few days, carpenters
will begin work on the preparation of
the grounds and buildings for this expo

BOSTON. March 25.--It is estimated
in cotton mill circles here that fully
% per cent of the cotton mill spindles
of the country are idle. because of con-
tinued depression in the market for
goods and firmness of the raw material.
The Dover mills, which manufacture
print cloths. closed today until April

operatives.
The output of the gray goods mills
of the Pacific corporation will be re-
duced by from S5 to 40 per cent. The
Pacific mills in Lawrence employ about
$500 hands.

Land such as you describe is not very
rich land; that is, it does not contain
large available supplies of nitrogen, phos-
phorous or potash, and for that reason
1t would be best for you to use a high
grade fertilizer in liberal amounts. 1t is
probable that you could hope to raise a
better crop of cotton with fertilizer with
out the vegetable matter than of corn,
and on that account we would be dis
posed to put the yard manure or the
corn ground since it is grosser feeding
crop than cotton and requires relatively
larger amounts of vegetable matter to in
sure its best development.
On the land intended for cotton use a
1886 fertilizer putting at least 400 pounds
under the drill row at times of planting,
and using 200 pounds as a side applica-
ton. One hundred and fifty pounds of
nitrate of soda should be used as a top
dressing Also about the 18th of June.
This will bring the nitrogen up to prob
ably per cent, which would answer
very well for land such as you describe.
On the corn land use at least 500 or GOO
pounds under the drill row of the fertilizer
already indicated with 200 pounds as
side application, and the same amount
of nitrate of soda for a final dressing.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1911-03-28

per acre. BY substituting muriate of
potash for double manure salts you can
increase the potash sufficiently for all
practical purposes, and by using top
application of 100 pounds of nitrate Of
soda per acre the nitrogen can be raised
up to where ii will meet the require
ments of the formula suggested. With
sandy land low in vegetable matter it
would be better to use, say, 300 to $50
ounds of fertilizer under the drill row,
and use 200 pounds as side application.
Nitrate of soda should best be applied
from June to Is, depending on the de-
velopment the crop has made up to that
time. There would be no objection to
distributing the fertilizer as indicated in
your letter. A 7-1-5 would, in our judg-
ment, be better for Spanish peanuts used
at the rate of 500 pounds per acre, than
the 7-1-S which you propose to use. Legu-
minous crops require a liberal supply Of
phosphoric acid and potash.
There would be no objection to putting
all the material under the drill row for
the peanuts, as the PHOSPHORUS and
potash are not so readily leached from
the soil

the visit of the train to your vicinity Of
the state helpful.

of the latter. The increase in potash is
Tecommended not only to help the ma

ural deficiency of sandy soils in TINS
element. If you use an application OF
nitrate of soda in June it will help TO
stimulate the crop at the time II is
making a. very great demand on the
plant food supply OF the soil. One nun
dred to $50 pounds per acre may be USED
for this purpose, and where you use
nitrate as a top-dressing, certainly not
over 2 per cent need be applied unoer
the drill row before the time OF plant
ing the cotton.

per acre. II advisable a side applica-
ton may be made during the growing
season, and a top-dressing of nitrate of
soda, used at the rate of 100 pounds per
acre. The use of nitrate on corn and
cotton can best be determined by the
appearance of the crop-the vigor OF
growth and color it shows, and the
amount of fruit 1t is setting on.

KANT VERSUS MURIATE

KANT VERSUS MURIATE AS A
SOURCE OF POTASH.
J. E. B., Gray, Ca, writes: would
like a formula using kainit with the
10-5 acid and cotton seed meal. / must
have omitted kainit in my former let
ter, as the formula you gave me did not
contain this element
For land such as you have in your
section of the state a 1884 formula
should answer very we'll AS the for
pula is as high in plant food as can
be secured from mixing together cot
ton seed meal, acid phosphate and kainit,
it was for this reason that the kainit
was discontinued in making the fer
tilizer and muriate of potash substi-
tuted therefor. If you will mix to-
gether 1,075 pounds of high grade acid,
500 pounds of high grade cotton seed
meal and 125 pounds muriate of potash,
you will secure approximately the per-
centage of plant food mentioned above.
This formula. If used at the rate of 400
to 500 pounds per acre, should answer
well for your conditions4 Kainit, as
you probably recognize, carries only
about u per cent available potash, while
muriate carries so per cent. To secure
as much potash from kainit, therefore,
as you secure from 125 pounds of muri-
ate. you would have to use over 500
pounds of the kainit. You can also
see that this would raise the number
Of pounds OF material away beyond the
ton basis, and change The whole basis
of cultivating percentage. Cotton seed
meal at best contains only about per
cent nitrogen, and it is rather dificult
to secure as high grade as this; 1t
therefore takes 500 pounds to secure Sc
to so pounds of nitrogen, If you were
to substitute say 800 pounds of sui
plate of ammonia for the 500 pounds
of cotton seed meal you could then use
kainit as a source of potash and still
secure a high grade formula.
1 trust this explanation will make the
situation clear to you.
