HOW TO GROW ASPARAGUS.
Heavy Fertilization and Some At
tention Necessary.

tention Necessary.
Large yields of asparagus can be
made on almost any type of soil, but
when grown for early market. a light
sandy, fertile, weIl-drained loan is
to be preferred. The land should
be reasonably free of roots, stones
or any trash that may interfere with
the growth of the stalks. Plow
deeply and thoroughly prepare the
soil preparatory to setting the
plants. Asparagus is perennial
crop and the more time and care
given the preparation OF the plant
bed the more profitable will be the
yield. Preparation can best begin
in the fall, following a crop that
has clean cultivation. A heavy ap-
plication Of well-rotted stable ma
nure plowed in at this time will
greatly improve the physical condi-
ton of the soil and will afford avail
able plant food for the plants set the
following spring.
Being gross feeder, asparagus
needs rather heavy fertilization and
as it is grown for it's succulent
stems only, the fertilizer used should
be rich in nitrogen and potash to de-
Velop strong and rapid growth Well
rotted manure supplies a certain
amount Of these elements, but many
successful growers use chemical fer
tilizer to decide advantage From
500 to 1900 pounds an acre of a
fertilizer having: Available phos-
phoric acid, 7 per cent; nitrogen, 5
per cent; actual potash, 8 per cent
could be used to advantage under
normal conditions. An application
Of at least 500 pounds an acre of
this fertilizer should be made each
year. A heavy dressing of about Is
tons of Well-rOtted stable manure
can be made every third year to ad-
vantage. This can best be applied
just after the cutting season is over,
for at this time the crowns are form
ing buds from which the stalks of
next seasons crop develop. Chemi-
cal fertilizers can also be applied to
best advantage at this time.
Asparagus is usually planted in
the spring although in some sections
it is done in the fall. Spring-planted
roots stand transplanting better than
those put out later in the year. The
early rains insure against the ne
cessity of watering the plants, which
sometimes has to be done if the
planting is made during a dry fall
season. Plants are set as soon as
the ground is in good working con-
dition. Formerly the paintings were
made in beds, but the common prac-
tice nowadays is to set the plants
from two to three feet apart in rows
four to six feet apart The crowns
are planted from five to seven inches
deep in the rows. Rows are pre-
ferably run north and south so that
the full benefit Of the sunchine will
be secured to hasten the growth of
the stalks in early spring.
The cultivation for asparagus is
the same as that given other truck
crops except that in the early spring

while turpentine fed in the slop is
effective for worms. One table spoon
to 100 pounds Of the slop is the usual
dose. Animals having access to
gravel, coal ashes and cinders are
generally free from worms.

FARM HINTS.

Plant your farm in a green crop
and keep your land busy. When
there is no crop there is a loss of
plant food elements. Keep a crop
growing, but do not take every crop
Off the land. Turn under a green
crop occasionally to supply humus
and return plant food.
Whether soils are alkaline or acid
can be very easily determined by the
use Of litmus paper. Litmus paper
can be purchased from any of the
druggists. A small ball of moist
soil should be secured and a small
piece of each kind of itmus paper
placed between the moist soil If
the red paper turns blue it is an in
dication that the soil contains alkali,
but if the blue paper turns red it is
an indication that it contains acid

year, yet the South received S1O7,-
O74,825 less for this crop. Such
conditions should not exist and could
be remedied il the banks of the
South would get behind the PROPOSE
tlon Of financing the distressed cot
ton raisers at low rate of interest.
The agricultural interests of the
South are entitled to as cheap mon
ey as any country, and the bankers
are claiming to be the friends Of the
farmer, and we ask that they take
an advance step in Georgia and fur
n1sh the money necessary to hold
The present cotton crop and thus be
a factor in bringing a new era in
the economic life of the South.
Farmers are realizing the import
ance of becoming better organized
An order to accomplish results. The
need of organization to have effec-
tive cooperation, and cooperation
is one Of the fundamental principles
of our organization as indicated by
its name: Farmers Educational and
COOPERATIVE Union Of America.
There are many farmers who are
not identified with us in this CO.
operative work, and who apparently
have not beea brought to a realiza-
tion of the need OF cooperating with
us and one another. This is to be
deplored, and should move each one
of us to renew our efforts to have
them join and share the responsible
ties and duties and the benefits Of
our great organization. For whether
they are members and have their
shoulders to the wheel or not does
not alter the fact that each and
every tiller Of the soil is sharing In
the benefits Of our cooperative eff
forts.
In our cooperative work and en-
ing along agricultural lines. We
need better and more scientific ag-
riculturaI methods that will result
in the conservation and Improvement
of the natural resources Of the land
we cultivate, we need better schools
and better comm unitY interests. We
need and are e1titled to better
homes, better farms. better fences,
better roads, and a greater diyersif-
cation, and more scientific market
ing of farm products.
Lawyers, bankers, doctors, meTch-
ants and other classes organize to
advance their individual and mutu-
al interests and welfare and to pro
mote the common welfare Of all by
exchanging ideas, spreading knowl-
edge, and bringing about better con-
ditions, as we'll as increasing the
share of good things Of life for not

equitable system of distribution, but
also for all concerned, so too should
the tillers OF the soil, and the mil
lions upon millions that follow the
pillow and the flag; the part of real
men, join hands in a common cause.
AS long as each undertakes to stand
for himself, we are disorganized,
and it will be impossible in the
struggle for existence to enforce a
business like and equitable recOgni-
ton of our rights, duties and re-
sponsibilities.
Every one knows that prices are
fixed by speculations and combines,
and that the law CT supply and de-
mand is actually subverted and set
aside to the serious hurt and detri-
