his administration as her governor has
commanded the admiration of the coun-

Sweet potatoes require liberal fertili-
zation. This is due in part to the fact
that they give their best results on
sandy or slightly loamy soil Soils or
this character are as a rule not sup
piled with essential elements of plant
food required by this crop. You will
therefore find an application of for
mula containing not less than s per
cent of phosphoric acid, 8 per cent OF
nitrogen, and to 10 per cent Of potash
about right to use under the ciroum-
stances. This formula should be. APP
piled at the rate of 700 to 1000 pounds
per acre. If you should have yard ma
nure use at the rate of 10 to 20 tons
per acre. IT should be well rotted and
mixed with the subsoiI under the drill
row before or Immediately after apply
ing the fertilizer and before setting out
the potash slips. A great variety Of
formulas may be used on this crop, but
you will find a mixture OF soda, 500
pounds of cotton seed meal. and 800
pounds Of ,muriate of potash will pro-
vide a good formula.

AS a rule, black soil owes it's color
to the presence of a considerable guam

this land is pretty in character ana

In that event the application of ferti-
lizers will not give satisfactory results
until underdrains have been laid. This
soil will generally be benefited by an
application of lime. A ton of caustic
lime per acre is about the right amount
to use. You might use raw rock at
the rate Of two tons per acre. 1t is
rather late in the season to apply lime
now, especially If you desire to devote

would suggest an application of about
an 1928; for the gray land with red
clay subsoil use about 1914, and the
same will ordinarily be found salts

apply for cotton. For corn 1t would
probably be better to use to 10 per

nitrogen by a top application OF nitrate
of soda to the equivalent 49,. to 4 per
cent. Five per cent of potash will not
be too much to use as a rule on most
soils for corn.

1t is doubtful whether it will pay you
to dynamite land intended for corn this
year. Much will depend on the season
from forward. There has been good
deal Of rain lately, and heavy clay sub
soils are likely to be rather wet, and
If broken up may compact to an un-
desirable extent where much surface
working of the land follows soon after
the dynamiting. If you could break this
land up with a turning pillow to depth
of 10 inches at no distant date, and then
work down a good seed bed, we believe
you would find it a more satisfactory
method of preparation than the use Of
the dynamite. We must admit, however
that our experience in dynamiting is linn
tied. though the results obtained last
year were not very favorable to its use.
1t should be borne in mind, however,
that the season of 1911 was unusually
dry, and that the ground was never
thoroughly wet after the dynamiting was
done in the autumn of 1910, and probably
It did not have a chance show just
what its value might e. If you have
an abundance Of yard manure use 1T
broadcast on the land, scattering it over
the surface after blowing, and working
in well with a disk. Then use LOCO
pounds of 1885 fertilizer, putting, say
700 pounds under the drill row and use
the balance as a side application. 1t is
doubtful If top dressings with nitrate
Of soda will be advisable on land where
you use anywhere from u to 20 good
two-horse loads of manure per acre.
We are Of the opinion that Whatley's
or Marlboro Prolific, two of the leading
varieties of prolific corn, will prove more
satisfactory on the land you describe than
some of the larger cared sorts.
TROUBLE AMONG HOGS.
A subscriber, Sharpsburg. Ca, writes:
I find the agricultural columns of The
Journal very interesting and full of good
news. Three of my hogs are sick They
move about slowly and have very bad
cough. They won't eat corn and eat very
little slop. Would like to know what to
do for them.
From such general description it is
very difficult to determine what might be
the trouble with your hogs. We would
suggest that you look into the sanitation
OF the nog lot Immediately and disin-
feet it thoroughly, and also change the
feed The chances are that you are feed
ing corn alone and probably are giving
kitchen Stops. If thees slops contain
washing powders and broken dishes it
may be responsible for the trouble de-
scribed. We have found many instances
where a change in feed has restored the
animals to vigorous health in short
time. If you are feeding corn alone re-
duce the ration very considerably, and
feed half shorts and corn as a thin slop.
Get the animals ont on green feed as
soon as you can. Uhe the following tonic

free access to the same:

Long staple cotton requires a sandy
or sandy loan soil preferably with a
clay or compact sand subsoil from one
foot to eighteen inches below the sur
face The best sea island cotton is
probably grown on what is classified by
the bureau on soils as the Norfolk fine
sand As a rule, sea island cotton should
be planted I'm rows five feet apart and
two feet apart in the drill. The distance
of planting will be determined somewhat
by the richness of the soil and the
amount of weed which it produces. Level
culture is generally followed on the main
land in Georgia and Florida. On the sea
islands ridge culture is practiced. Where
there is a tendancy to produce weed at
the expense of fruit a low he'd will be
desirable under main land conditions.
1t would be all right to plant your cot
ton by hand as there is a great saving
in see1 by this method, and of course.
good results with sea island cotton will
only be obtained where careful seed Sc
lection has been practiced. and there
fore. a choice and rather expensive type
of seed obtained. Several seed should
be put i'm each drill so as to encourage
the development of at least one vigorous
plant Some vegetable matter will be
found helpful. Two tons of yard ma
nure put under the drill row will con-
stitute good practice From 500 to 10000
pour cs of a high-grade formula may be
used. and a 1885 will not be out of
