7 per cent The legumes all draw very
heavily on the phosphorus and potash
but have the capacity in most IN
stances to gather all the nitrogen
needed from the air. There are some
who would advise cutting out the nj
trogen. altogether, and If this land has
grown peas successfully for several
years past and is well inoculated on
that account, we would advise that
you cut out the nitrogen. Otherwise.
we believe a small amount of nitrogen
to start the crop off successfully is
an advantage For corn, we believe a
1914 would be about right on land
of. the character mentioned in your let
ter. Corn, as you know, makes very
heavy draft on the nitrogen, and in our
experience, liberal applications of this
element have had a wonderfully stfmu-
lating effect on the crop and have in
creased the yield by reason of the fact
that they have kept the corn in a
thrifty condition until the ears are
properly formed. Nitrogen applied to
corn should, as a rule, be put on rather
early in the season. You might use,
for instance, a 1884 in the drill row
and put on a top dressing of so to 100
pounds of nitrate of soda If you use
the nitrate put 1t on before the corn
punches to tassel. gn
WHICH FORM OF NITROGEN IS

G. H. N, Augusta, Ga, writes:

Of the plant? Will 1t be best to ap-

cotton seed meal?
You have made a fairly liberal APP
plication of commercial plant food to
your cotton, and have used enough
phosphorus and potash to meet the re-
Quirements of about a bale per acre on
most soils. Your formula is naturally
low in nitrogen, as indicated in your
letter. In my judgment you should APP
ply considerably more nitrogen; GER
tainly not less than 100 pounds of nj
trate of soda and 100 pounds of cot
ton seed meal We would mix about
% to so pounds of nitrate of soda with
cotton seed meal and use it as the first
side application, and so to rs pounds
of nitrate of soda as the second appli-
cation. These materials should be put
on about two weeks apart. The meal
and the nitrate should be scattered
ahead of the cultivator and covered in
to the soil. Put the. first application
on very shortly now; the second should
be made about the 18th of June In an
ordinary season, and the nitrate should
be scattered after the cultivator and
not before. In other words, the nitrate
of soda should not be covered into the
soil 1t should be put on after a rain
and not before, We believe you will
find this method of supplying additional
nitrogen satisfactory.

THE VALUE OF PEANUTS
FOR FEEDING AND GRAZING

the ground. Then, begin and stack the
nuts carefully around IL as high as
the workmen can conveniently reach. The
nuts should be put next to the stake.
The crop may then be left in the field
to thoroughly cure, and may be hauled
later and stored as hay. In some places
the nuts are removed from the hay by
means of peanut threshers, and the vines
used for feeding. In some instances
the vines and nuts are fed together.
There is no objection to their use, even
for horses and mules. providing the crop
has been harvested so as to free 1t from
dust, dirt and sand which is likely to
produce irritation to the respiratory or
gans of this class of live stock and may
result in permanent injury sooner or
later.
Some may consider that feeding the
nuts Is too expensive an undertaking.
but in view of the fact that the COM
bination OF vines and nuts produces a
fairly well balanced ration or one which
certainly may be fed with advantage on
farms wher corn and slower are avail
able, the argument does not seem to
be well founded. AS already mentioned,
In the few instances where this practice
has been followed, the results seem to
justify its recommendation for general
use. Where the nuts are harvested by
machinery. some win OF course be broken
and some be left in the ground. It is
then desirable TO turn hogs on the land
and let them gather the balance of the
crop. This they will do very assiduously
and without injury to the land. provided
they are not allowed TO Craze on II
when IL Is too wet There are thou
sands OF farms in the United States
upon which a hay rich in protein is the
most pressing need Of the hour. II pur-
chased. II costs from SIS TO $50 a ton,
and IL may then not often be OF first
quality. The peanut affords every
farmer In the southeastern states an OPP
portunity to provide all classes of live
stock on the farm with an abundance of
protein in one of the cheapest and most
desirable forms. The crop is easy to Gull
tivate, has the widest adaptability, Is
relatively easy to harvest and store. and
the seed is not unduly expensive. With
modern machinery, such as is now avail
able. planting can be done with as much
ease as where corn or cotton is grown,
and II is certainly not difficult to culti-
vate and care for the crop.
