PREPARING AND FERTILIZING
COTTON LAND.

I'll 1ON LAM.
w. w. c., Rutledge, Ga, writes:
have about 100 acres 1 wish to plant in
cotton; about so acres are gray land
with red clay subsoil, and about 40
acres are red black land with clay
foundation. Would it be best to have
the soil examined, and how can 1 have
it done? 1 would like to have all the
help you can give me in regard to the
fertilizer to use on this land.
Since your land seems to have a red
clay subsoil it is not likely that it
varies widely in fertilizing constitu-
ents. Some gray land naturally owes
it's color to the predominance of sand,
while some is due to the fact that the
iron has been leached out of the sur
face. soil. On land Of this character
we would be disposed to apply about a
9-3-4 formula at the rate of 500 pounds
per acre. This much fertilizer can be
used on all land with tenacious sub
soil with safety, that is, so far as the
danger of loss from teaching is con-
cerned. In our judgment it would be
better to put this fertilizer under the
drill row before planting. Then you
may use 200 pounds as a side applica-
tion with top dressings of nitrate of
soda as seasonal conditions would seem
to warrant.
There is no way by which you can

TWO BIC COUNTIES
STRONG FOR WILSON
Chatham and Richmond AC-
tive for Former Georgian,
Prominent Visitors Say

1t has become a convincing fact
around Woodrow Wilson headquarters,
according to the managers of Mr.. VIII
sons state campaign committee there,
that in at least two of the Georgia coun-
ties which were considered among the
strongholds of the reactionaries oppos-
ing Mr.. Wilson's policies, his candidacy
is safe.
In Chatham county there is at work
now the most active Woodrow Wilson
club in the state. Yet Chatham was re-
gsrded as one of the opposition strong
holds. The Chatham woodrow Wilson
club has secured the consent of ID. f.
Malone, assistant corporation counsel of
New York and son-in-law of. Senator
O'GOrman, to speak in Savannah soon.
Another speaker whom the Chatham
club has engaged is w. G. McAdoo, of
tunnel fame, formerly a Cobb county
boy.
Pleasant A. Stovall, editor OF the Sa-
vannah Press, called at woodrow Will
son state headquarters, rooms los and
10 of the Kimball, Monday morning, to
announce these facts and to declare that
Chatham county is certain to give its
majority to Mr. wilson's candidacy.
The other supposed stronghold of the
opposition, Richmond county, was re-
ported as certain to give it's vote to
Wilson by a big majority. This report
came from Bowdre Phinizy, of Augusta,
who called at headquarters shortly be-
fore Mr.. Stovall was there.
These reports are particularly inter
esting," said State Senator w. j. Harris,
one of the campaign managers, because
it was I'm Augusta that Woodrow Wilson
attended school in his boyhood, and his
father preached there. Also, Savannah
- ATrg 70 mi
Her grandfather, DR.. Hoyt, preached
there, as her father, DIR. Arson, preached
in Rome. The news that Richmond and
Chatham may both be considered safe
for Mr.. Wilson is therefore all the more
gratifying to those who know how close
" each county is associated with Mr..
Wilson's life"
Editor Carroll, of the Jackson Argus,
declared that Butts county is sure to
go for Wilson II. c. Darby, a Georgia
farmer who formerly lived in Alabama,
whence Oscar Underwood comes, called
at headquarters Monday morning to as
sert that he is for Mr.. Wilson despite the
fact that he comes from the same state
as the opposing candidate. DR.. w. b.
Crawford, another of the callers, of Lin
colnton, declared that Wilson is strong
in Lincoln county. A similar report re-
garding Burke county was received from
J. r. Miller, editor of the Statesboro
News and owner and editor of the Alamo
News Claxton News and Stillmore News.
1--WE have heard from a number of
counties stated Senator Harris, "and
every report we receive is encouraging.
We have yet to hear a disturbing ac-
count"
Headquarters stationery has been print
ed for the Woodrow Wilson campaign in
Georgia and is now going out in every
mail from the Kimball house. This sta
tionery bears the name of Mr.. Wilson as
'the hope of the Democratic party,-a
southern man, a Georgian,-the one DEM
ocrat who can be elected president"

at this season of the fear. Soil analy-
ses are rather tedious to make and are
costly. We are endeavoring through
the extension work to establish a num-
Der of test plats in. Georgia this year
so we may secure specific data for the
benefit of farmers situated just as you
are. We hope in the course of time
that the state will appreciate this
work so thoroughly that enough money
will be made available to permit of
our undertaking work of this character
in practically every county in Georgia.
There is nothing so fundamental to the
welfare of our agriculture as an under
standing of our soils, their deficiencies.
and how these may be corrected in the
cheapest and most effective manner.

I protein which is considered essential in
the daily ration Of a 1.OOO-pound horse OF
mule results in an undue strainfng of
the animals system and frequently
causes indigestion and various other
nervous disorders. While the use of
all of these ills, il will certainly help
additional protein might not prevent
materially
Corn will Of necessity form the basis
OF practically all rations on Georgia
farms. In many instances some oats win
be available, and ordinarily the food
stuffs which should be purchased for the
Improvement of the ration will be cot
ton seed meal and wheat bran. In the alb
sense of oats, cotton seed meal and
com or corn and cob meal may often
be combined together advantageously,
and it will seldom be necessary to pur-
chase wheat bran. Since corn is def
cient In protein and cotton seed meal
contains a supeTabundance Of il, the two
combine admirably for the production of
a ration suitable for horses and mules
working under the conditions peculiar to
our climate. Since cotton seed meal fur
nishes protein at a lower cost per pound
than any other available Concentrate, and
since it is a homegrown product, its
utilization is an important matter to the
point OF economy and efficiency. This
concentrate is also very rich in mineral
elements. and since much of the mineral
matter is voided by horses and mules,
a manure is obtained richer than that
produced from corn alone. The value Of
yard manure in building up the fertil-
ity of the land is so clearly recognized
that the importance of utilizing as
much cotton seed meal i'm the ration as
possible for this purpose alone is APP
preciated by all who have studied our
agricultural conditions.
BY mixing together 500 pounds of corn,
100 pounds of oats. 800 pounds of cotton
seed meal and 800 pounds OF wheat bran
a ration viii be secured which can be
fed with advantage on many farms. Fiji
teen pounds of this mixture should ordi
narily be fed per day to a 1,O00-pound
mule doing reasonably hard work. If the
work is extraordinarily hard some more
grain should be fed, and if the work
is rather light the ration may be re-
duced somewhat. This should only be
done, however. when the animals are
standing in the stable for a week or
ten days. 1t is intended that the Is
pounds OF the mixture shall be divided
into three equal portions and fed morn
ing, noon and night, in association with
not less than IA pounds of mixed hay
or clean. bright, well preserved corn
feed
The average farmer is OF the opinion
that he is wasting his time and effort in
weighing feed to his horses and mules.
In this he IS very badly mistaken, for by
doing so he not only prevents a use
less waste of grain and rougfhness, but
he keeps his animals in much better
condition. The overlooking of live stock
is responsible for as many ills which
afflict them as the underfeeding. 1t is
not always necessary for the farmer to
buy wheat bran to prepare good ra-
ton. BY mixing together 1,5O0 pounds of

Your proposition to plant cowpeas
and reduce your cotton acreage this
year is all right, because the cow
peas will certainly enable you to build
up your land, and besides that, you
should secure profitable crop of hay
and grain as we'll. In addition, you
will leave in the soil anywhere from
20 to 80 pounds of nitrogen in the
roots stuble and fallen leaves, and
the land will be improved for planting
next year to corn or cotton or other
crops as you may deem best.
The whippoorwill is one of the best
all round Standard varieties of cow
peas. We nave grown it extensively
in several states, and know from per-
sonal experience that it can be safely
recommended Where one attempts to
grow two crops of peas on the same
land in one year, the first crop should
be seeded about the time cotton is
planted. There is no use in planting
peas before the ground is warm enough
to insure rapid termination. The land
for this crop should be we'll prepared,
and it is best to seed in drills about
"a inches apart. This will not call
for the use of more than busnel to
a bushel and a half of seed per acre.
Y on may plant ,hem with a single stalk
drill, with a grain drill, or a two-horse
corn planter. Where the grain drill Is
used, two out of every three tubes
should be stopped up. In our experience
we have secured under the most IA
voraSIe circumstances as much as two
and a half tons of nay per acre with
10 to IL bushels of grain as a Sec
ond crop Under the most adverse cir
cumstances we have secured ton and
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-03-12

a half of nay per acre and as much as
eight bushels of grain. We think you
will find it much more desirable to make
the first crop into hay, and let the Sec
ond crop develop for grain rather than
to try and secure two crops of grain.
In our judgment this practice will prove
the most profitable to the soil. which
is an important matter to bear in mind
You will find it well to use not less
than 500 to 400 pounds of a lot
formula under this crop. especially if
the land is low in nitrogen.

seed meal and 45O pounds of oats, he may
prepare ration we'll suited to the needs
of horses and mules. Fifteen pounds of
this mixture should be fed, as indicated
above. The same amount of roughness
should be used. Where peavine or Ber-
muda hay is available about II pounds
will be the right amount to use. If one
purchases tinouny hay or what is known
as western hay IA pounds should be
fed.
A simpler combination of concentrates
than the foregoing is an admiXture of
/, 500 pounds of corn and cob meal with
300 pounds of cotton seed meal. Farmers
may question the advisability of grind
ing corn. As a matter of fact, when
this cereal has attained tine nigh price
it has now reached, it is best to feed
it in a finely ground condition, and it
only the leaves of the corn plant, about
u pounds per day should be enough to
slower. If one has corn fodder that is,
will often be advisable TO grind, not
only the corn and cob together, but
the shuck as well. There are mills on
the market now which may be purchased
at a relatively low cost and which do
this work efficiently. Where corn and
cob meal is used in a ration for horses
and mules, it is very important to see
that the cobs are ground up finely or
else they may produce some irritation Of
the digestive tract. Where the farmer
has a considerable quantity of oats he
may mix 100 pounds OF them with 300
pounds cotton seed meal and $50 pounds
OF shelled corn. and feed at the rate in
dictated above. These are among the best
in the nutrition of horses and mules on
southern farms at the present time.
