FIGHT ON FREE SUGAR
IS MADE BY HARDW|CK
M RALPH SMITH

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-Representa-
tive Hardwick is making a fight in the
house for free sugar. and he has al
ready developed a surprising lot of
strength for his plan. He proposes to
make up the loss in revenue thus occa-
stoned by placing duty of so per cent en-
raw silk.
The present uuty on Sugar raises 49,
100000 in revenue, and Hardwicks scheme
for a duty on silk would raise over S40,-
100000. At present raw silk comes in free
of duty.
Free sugar would reduce the price of
sugar to the American consumer two
cents apound," explained Mr.. Hardwick
II believe it the past of wisdom to
tax ilk, which is a luxury. If we can
reduce the cost of a necessary of life
The proposed duty on silk might double
the price of silk stockings and sox, but
the people who indulge in their luxury
should be amply able to meet the in
crease"

time to plant them, and how much they
will cost per bushel.
Artichokes should be planted and cult
waited much the same as Irish potatoes.
In this climate they should he planted
in late March or early April, depending
of course somewhat on seasonal eondi-
tions. Ordinarily it is best to plant
them in four-foot rows about Is inches
apart i'm the drill row. 1t will require
from four to five bushels of seed to
plant an acre. Where the land is poor
use about a 1856 fertilizer at the rate
Of 500 pounds per acre. putting it under
the drill row at the time of planting the
artichOkes. Jerusalem artichokes are the
best kind for general cultivation and will
cost you about s1.25 per bushel. They
make a large crop of nutritious feed for
hogs, and will ordinarily yield twice as
much as potatoes on the same grade of
land. They should receive thorough and
clean cultivation and should be planted
on land which has been well prepared to
receive the crop. They may be grazed
down by hogs turned on them couple
of weeks after the blossoms fall. They
may be allowed to stay in the ground all
winter. Hogs like to root them out as
they want them, or they may be dug and
AVOID sUBSo1LING IN THE SPRING.
w. II. r., Vienna, Ga, writes: I have
dark sandy soil with a yellow subsoil.
What fertilizer would you use for cotton
on this land? Do you think it would
pay to subsoil now as wet as the land
is? What kind of fertilizer should
be used for corn on this same land and
how much per acre?
1t will not be advisable to attempt to
subsoil land at this season of the year,
especially in view of the heavy rains
which have fallen, and as a result the
soil is likely to be somewhat sobby. Sub
sOiling as a rule is the best done in the
fall when the lower strata of the land
have had an opportunity to dry out. Your
land should be broken to a fair depth
as soon as possible, so as TO prepare a
fine and friable seed bed. On this char
acter of land about,a 9-3-4 formula should
answer well for cotton especially in
view of the fact that you have no vege-
table matter to turn under. We would
be disposed to put about 800 to 400 pounds
under the drill row, and use 200 pounds
as a side application. Some nitrate Of
soda may be needed later in the season to
prevent shedding and TO stimulate
growth, but il should not be put on too
late. You can judge best for yourself
from the development of your plants
whether the nitrate is NEEDED or not On
the same character of land careful prep
aration of the soil for corn is essential,
and then 1t would be advisable for you
to use about 1915 at the rate of 500 to
700 pounds per acre Use 300 to 400
pounds under the drill row and make
one or two side applications as the needs
of the crop and seasonal conditions seem
to make advisable.

You may also prepare a good formu-

high. because this crop is a gross feed

PREPARING FOR A BUMPER CORN
CROP.
l.. A. J., Pine Log, Ga, writes: I
have stif red land which was turned
last fall with a two-horse turner.
am thinking OF planting it in corn and
laying of with a middle buster with
four mules. and take stalk ripper and
run in that furrow; then harrow that
down Then put my fertilizer in and
plant. What do you think OF my plan?
Ny son is going to enter the Boys Corn
club. Is there any better variety Of
prolific corn than Hastings?
Your plan Of preparing your land for
n a
wide deep furrow under the row for
either corn or cotton is excellent prac-
tice, as this facilitates root development
which is essential to the welfare of any
crop The use of a bull tongue or any
other implement calculated to stir up
the soil and make Il capable of absorb
ing and holding a large quantity of
moisture is to be commended. Mix
the fertilizer well with the top soil,
running a bull tongue or other imple-
ment through the furrow two or three
inches. Do not necessarily follow in
the same channel. but widen and deepen
the area through which the roots of the
crop may be expected to develop as
completely as possible. There is only
one other suggestion we can offer, which
is the desirability of having some COM
post or yard manure to mix with the
soil after the fertilizer has been ap-
piled.
am glad to know that your boy ex-
poets to join one of the corn clubs. En-
courage him in this respect as much as
possible, for il will give him a new
point Of view and will do more to inter
est him in farming than anything else
with which I am acquainted. We re-
gard prolific corn as excellent to grow
on upland soils. There are several vari-
cites which have done we'll on the col
lege farm. Hastings Prolific has made
an excellent showing, and we do not
think you will make mistake in using
seed.

lime is more unpleasant to handle than
any other form because of its biting or
singing quality. The finely ground
raw rock is not so active as the caustic
lime and one should use at least twice
as much of it on that account. In other
words, apply one ton of caustic lime or
two tons of the finely ground rock. The
finer the rock is ground the better will
be the results obtained from it's use.
The finely ground rock gives better re-
suits in the presence of considerable
quantities of vegetable matter and it has
the advantage Of not destroying the nj
trogen in the soil.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-02-23

The grade of lime to use will depend
a good deal on the physical condition of
your soil and the season of the year.
Where immediate results are sought, the
caustic lime is the most effective. This
form of lime, however, destroys more
nitrogen and vegetable matter than any
other form which can be used, and this
is an important matter to bear in mind.
On land in very bad physical condition.
il is probably good practice to apply
lime in the caustic form. You may put
the lime on say 80 days before planting
a crop or applying fertilizers. oats and
other crops may be top dressed with
lime, though it is probably best to put
this material on land which has been
well prepared for planting so it may be
narrowed into the surface. The caustic

Nitrogen, as you know, is concerned
largely in the development Of a strong
and vigorous plant. Phosphoric acid is
concerned in the fruiting of the plant,
and the Fastening of maturity. Potash
is valuable and essential because it aids
I'm the formation and distribution of
starch i'm the plants. Starch is the basic
food OF all plants and is elaborated in
the leaves All tn chemical materials
which are used in the structure of the
plant are thus elaborated in part through
the agency or assistance of potash Pot
ash Is also concerned i'm the develop
ment of the woody structure of plants
and the flesh of fruits. 1t also assists
in neutralizing plant acids. For these
reasons you will see it is an important
constituent in a complete fertilizer. It's
value increases as the percentage of this
material falls below W nat is regarded as
normal amount in any soil In the
northern part of the state where the
crystalline rocks predominant there is
a good deal of potash in tho land. In
sandy soils, however, Il ere is not so
much potash. Even in the crystalline
area, often called the red clay belt,
while there is a good deal of potash
in the soil. II is not in an available
form, and the use of commercial potash
becomes advisable on that account.
TIE formula you propose to use would
run rather higher in potash than seems
necessary for most farm crops save on
sandy lands, and it would be relatively
low in nitrogen. If you add no earth
to this mixture your total weight would
be l 200 pounds. This would give you
about 10 per cent of phosphoric acid, less
than per cent of nitrogen, and nearly
6.5 per cent of potash. This formula
would be improved in our judgment by
the use of at least 500 pounds of cot
ton seed meal or 900 pounds of cotton
seed meal with 200 pounds of nitrate of
