warrant the application of distinctly diff
ferent fertilizer formulas on them. If
the gray land, however, owes its color to
the presence of sand, then it is naturally
more deficient in the essential elements
of plant food than the red land.
On heavy red clay. for general farm
crops an S-3-4 will, as a rule, be found
satisfactory for cotton, and 9-3-4 for
corn. For leguminous crops on these
soils cut the nitrogen at least in half.
Use at least 500 pounds per acre under
cotton and other crops which do not
make as heavy draft on the land as
corn.
