GROWING COTTON ON RED CLAY
SOIL.

SOIL.
J. w L., Shellman, Ca, writes: have
some stiff clay land which was planted
in corn and oats last year which have
broken for cotton this, year. How would
a mixture of 1900 pounds acid, 200
pounds muriate of potash and 500 pounds
cotton seed meal suit this land, say 400
or 500 pounds to the acre? Would it be
equal or superior to a 1913? Do you re-
gard the Cu1pepper as the best variety of
cotton?
The mixture referred to in your letter
would contain approximately 80 pounds
of nitrogen, 800 pounds of phosphoric
acid and los pounds of potash per ton.
Tt would analyze 1.5 per cent of nitro
gen, IL per cent Of phosphoric acid and
81 per cent of potash. This fertilizer is
low in nitrogen; otherwise 1t would be
well adapted for the land in question.
and if used at the rate of 500 pounds
per acre should supply the mineral ele-
ments in fair amount for cotton. You
may overcome the deficiency in nitro
gen by using, say $50 pounds of nitrate
of soda or sulphate of ammonia as a
top dressing during the growing sea-
son. The first application should be
made, say six weeks after planting and
the second from the 18th of June to the
1st of July. This would provide for an
application of rs pounds of nitrogen
twice during the growing season, and
as it is in a very quickly available form
In both of the materials mentioned, you
would be supplying this element about
as fast as the crop needs it. We do not
recommend Culpepper as the best varie-
ty of cotton to use. 1t just simply gave
the best results I'm our demonstration
field last year, and seems to be a good
variety to plant in SO far as we can

VARIOUS FORMULAS FOR FERTILIZER

A review OF the SITUATION ihuSaece
that cotton seed meal may be used as
the basis of a fertilizer to good advant-
age: that anywhere from 400 to 1000
pounds may still be retained in the mix
ture and provide formula well adapted
10 the different soil types and the diff
ferent crops of Georgia The foregoing
summary will help to convey to all VINO
are interested in this topic the best data
available relative to the amount of cot
ton seed meal which can &c used advan-
tageously in preparing fertilizer formu-
las adapted to Georgia conditions.
DIGESTIVE TROUBLES DUE TO I'M
PAIRED TEETH.

weighing about 500 pounds. l traded
for her two months ago. She has a
nice mule colt months old and will
drop another one in June. When l got
her she was in bad condition and her
gums were swollen. She very often
rubs the side OF her mouth against the

for her.
From your description of your mare
il is evident that there is a derange,
ment of the digestive system, partly ii
not wholly due TO bad teeth. Horses
at this age often have sharp hooks and
points on the teeth which interfere with
proper mastication Of the food by In
juring and producing soreness Of the
tongue or cheeks. This condition causes
guiding dropping the partially masti-
Gated food from the MOUTH also the
habit Of gulping the food and in some
cases choking. Improperly masticated
food is not prepared for digestion by
the stomach and intestines so that as
the final result there is produced chron-
&c indigestion and the inability of the
animals TO secure the proper amount of
nouishment necessary to good health.
Lampas are usually an indication of d.
gestive trouble and generally require
no other treatment except correct of
the digestive disorder.
] would suggest that you examine
your mares teeth for defects. and II
any are found the services of a quail
fled veterinarian should be secured to

cotton SEED meal, or wheat bran. or a

WHEN AND HOW TO TOP DRESS
OATS
H. w. O., Cordele. Ga, writes: What
kind of fertilizer should use for top
dressing oats? My idea was to use 40
pounds of nitrate to every 200 pounds
of 2-10-4 per acre.
The best fertilizer to use for oats in
the spring is either nitrate Sf soda or
suIphate of ammonia The latter con-
tains about 20 per cent of available
nitrogen, while nitrate of soda contains
only 1877 per cent. The nitrogen in
nitrate of soda, however, becomes more
quickly available than that in the sui
phate of ammonia, though there is not a
great deal of difference in this respect,
and which one to use will depend large
ly on the relative cost. Where nitrate
is used as a top dressing it Is best APP
piled in two applications. You might
use as pounds per acre any time in the
next two weeks, and as much more just
when the crop is getting ready to shoot
into head. We have used nitrate with
excellent results on the college farm
and are experimenting this year with
sulphate, but have not tried it extern
sively as a top dressing before. In our
judgement, a 3-4-1O fertilizer as a top
dressing for oats will not give as good
results as you anticipate. Formulas
containing mineral elements are best
mixed with the soil and should be APP
piled in the fall in preference to the
spring on all grain crops If you do at
tempt TO use complete fertilizer it
would be best to broadcast it on the
land and work it in with a harrow. 1t
should be applied now, so as to give It
as long time as possible to serve the
needs OF the plant The nitrate and
sulphate should only be applied to the
crop when the leaves are dry.

THIS LAND NEEDS 10 BE ROTATED.

THIS LAND NEEDS TO BE ROTATED.
T. J. p, Decatur Ca, writes: l have
a piece of bottom land than has been in
corn for about "a years. 1t made good
crops until about six years ago, and has
been gradually failing in yield since that
date 1t makes plenty of stalk but
produces only nubbins. Up to that time
i use barnyard manure but since nave
used commercial fertilizer and very lit
tie manure. 1t is a dark soil with pipe
subsoil Kindly tell me the best fertil-
izer to use to make more corn.
1t is quite evident from what you say
that your land contains an abundance
of nitrogen in spite of the fact that you
have grown corn on the same land FOR
so many years. This, or course, is a
mistake as it tends to exhaust certain
elements in the soil which are necessary
to crop production. whereas, a rotation
enables the building up of the soil be-
cause the various crops do not make
the same draft on the elements of plant
food. and therefore one tends 10 supplies
ment or complement the other and
makes It possible to grow good crops
In the soil for a much longer PERIOD
than where the land is devoted to one
crop. on this account we would sug-
gest that you try to rotate your land
as a means OF building up its Ger1cien-
cies. In the meantime withhold an APP
plication of farmyard manure to all
this land for apparently there IS enough
moisture and nitrogen available by rea-
son of its location to enable the produc.
ton OF an ample amount of stalk. Sandy
land. of course, is not well supplied
with the mineral elements and evident
ly yours is quite deficient in that re.
spect On that account We would sug-
gest that you apply 400 pounds OF high
grade acid phosphate and 100 pounds Of
mui late of potash on this land, anc APP
ply the whole amount under the drill
row at the time of planting the corn.
We believe this heavy application of
mineral elements will tend to correc;
the failure OF the corn to fruit and tnat
this year you will reap a much better
yield of corn than you have secured in
the past few years. No doubt lining
will help as well, and you snould ar
range next fall to put on one ton Of
caustic lime per acre. Scatter IL broad
cast over the soil and allow il to remain
there for a good part of the winter The
lime should not be put on untIf arter <:-e

pare a good seed bed ana fertilize with
the materials indicated and cultivate
carefully. No doubt you realize that the
kind of corn selected has something to
do with the yield. On this land no
