NITROGEN FROM THE AIR.

CONGRESSMAN FaiSOn Introduces Bill
ApprOpriating $35O,OOO for Testing
Best Method of Extracting Nitrogen
From Air.
Washington, d. C.-RepresentatiVe
John M. Faison of North Carolina, has
introduced a bill in Congress asking
for an appropriation of $500 600 for
the purpose of testing the best and
cheapest methods of obtaining nitro
gen from the air for agricultural pur-
poses. He says that the present sup
ply of nitrogen or ammonia, which
comes largely from it is not only be-
coming exhausted, but is prohibitive
in price because of the distance of
tho distance of transportation and be-
cause of trust manipulation. He says
the trust controls the output of the
mines and has been gradually increas-
Ing the price until now it costs the
farmer about Sc a ton. This product
contains only 10 or 20 per cent am
,monia.
The electrical process, he declares,
needs only electric power, air, water,
and limestone. Electrically heated
air is cooled rapidly over pulverized
limestone, the result being calcium
nitrate. This nitrate i manufactured

cheaper than the Chile salts can be
mined. The electrically manufac-
tured nitrates, it is claimed, contain
II per CEN ammonia and makeran
ideal fertilizer. The experiment has
been successfully tried in Norway.
Representative Faison would have the
government lead the way by determin-
S-~ III hast n1nfhEIc of manufacture
and protect the process from private
Another appropriation asked by
Representative Faison is $50, 900 for
testing the best electrical methods of
obtaining a larger per cent of acid
phosphates from phosphate rock by
baking such rock in high-temperature
electric ovens. Heretofore, he says,
phosphate rock has been mined, crush
ed and treated with sculpture acid
for extracting in soluble form acid
phosphate for plant food. By such
chemical treatment only 16' per cent
of soluble acid phosphate has been
rendered available for plant food, the
remainder being insoluble. A quaint
tv of free sulphuric acid remains in
the commercial acid phosphate, which
sours the soil and retards plant

: F., corrects this, but stops the posi-
f5lity of solution of the remaining "a

rock.
The electrical method, it is said
takes out of the rock 40 per cent of
acid phosphate with no sulphuric acid
left to retard growth. The fertilizers
plant food is increased in value $50
per cent and no expense for lining is
necessary.

High.Pressure Farming.

These days, when machine farming
of big areas appeals more and more
TO nearly every young farmer about
to begin for himself, there is special
interest in what is being accomplish
ed on little farms, says Farm and
FIJI eside.
One coming unde rthis category is
located in Saluda county, South Car
DINA, owned and operated by R. B.
Watson and sons. The farm contains.
all told, only fifteen acres. About one
acre is occupied with the house, barn,
carriage-house, packing-house and
yard; also, one and one-half acres UNI
for tillage was about to be drained
when this report was secured.
Mr.. Watson, ST., has passed his sew
enty-sixth milestone, and he n his
life partner have made, their matri-
monial journey together for fifty years,
living where his forebears have lived
for five generations. His interest and
delight in making his little home place
productive and profitable has not les
sened a whit with the passing of the
years. Some idea of Mr.. Watson's
physical fitness for farming might be
understood fIOm the~fact that he had
just returned from a horseback ride
of forty-five miles from a religious
convention at the time this account
was placed on paper for Farm and
Fireside readers.
His Motto: "IntenSify and Diversity
The soil of the little farm is sandy
loan OVERLAPPING clay, and the greater
Part is rich in plant-food and vegeta-,
biz matter, kept so by systematic fer
tiliZing, for the most part with stable
manure, and good culture, through d
hale century of steady intensive pro-
duction. The motto Intensity and
Diversity" was long since adopted on
this farm. Cows, hogs and poultry
are kept in such numbers as prove
1nost profitable, combined with fruit,
truck and anything that will urn a
profitable penny.
Two good cows, Berkshire swine
and pure-bred poultry were kept dur
ing the year comprising this report,
an dthe sale of weanling pigs, eggs
for market and Matching milk and but
ter materially helped to swell the in
come. The catch and W. crops, re-
fuse from truck crops and stuble
gieanings were sufficient to materially
reduce the feed-bills. Rye and bar
ley. own following truck and grain
crops, furnished green feed from Octo-
Der to May for cows, hogs and poul-
Try. Then grass, sorghum and green
corn provided soiling feed until fall.
In addition. the poultry had access to
st~ubble-ffelds, sorghum and %sunf1ower
seeds, chufas, etc.

S25,5OO,OO IS SPENT BY
FARMERS ON FERTTLIzFp
More Used in Season Than Ever Re-.
fore Except in 1901

Approximately $25 100000 was ex.
pended in Georgia for commercial fer
t~ilizers during the period from October
l., 1912, to October 1, 1913 says the
Atlanta Journal. More fertilizers
used in the state during tine
past season than in any other season
OF the states history, except that
of 1910-11 which broke all records.
During the season of 1901 the
state consumed 1902, 722 tons of
straight fertilizers and 129,748 tons Of
cotton seed meal, This last season it
used $780, 93 tons of straight f~ertiliz-
ers and 122,979 tons of cotton seed
meal.
At the very conservative estimate
of $40 a ton the farmers invested dur
ing the season just closed $22.415 $3.50
for straight fertilizers. Figured or. an
average price of $25 per ton they in
vested $~3,074,375 for cotton seed meal.
The state collects a tag tax of ten
cents on every ton of fertilizer and
cotton seed meal sold in Georgia, and
these fees during the past season ag-
gregated $124,366:

use and analysis of fertilizers used in

CROP ROTATION HELPS LAND
AND GIVES VARIETY OF FOOD,

In our farming operations it must
be remembered that crop rotation is
an important object if we desire to
Keep up or improve our land, and at
the same time insuring a larger profit.
If farmers would only practice a reg
MAR yearly system of crop rotation
best adapted to the nature of their
farms and themselves would be hand
somely benefited by the process. What
is meant, is to grow such crops in ro-
tation which the soil is best capable
of producing. 1t is a we'll known fact
that every farmer desires (and it's to
his interest) to try and keep up or
steadily improve his farm. l can not
recommend any easier or quicker
method which will have the desired
effect than a regular systematic rota-
ton of crops, in both regular farm
crops and legumes or forage crops.
Never crop the same land year aftGr
year with the same kind of crop, las
this method when practiced will kill
or ruin the best land in a very short
period; but use a crop rotation syS-
ten Not only is the soil kept in bet
ter condition or order, but rotation en-
courages crop growth, causing them
to produce a larger yield and better
quality, therefore increasing our pro-
fits. We must have fields so arrang-
ed to produce moneyed crops one year
and the next in a soil improvement
crop. BY such rotation we are m
growing a certain portion o fthe farm
annually. Of course, We can grow II
desired (and is best) a moneyed crop.
and also soil improvement crop the
same year. as where crimson clover

produce fine corn, tobacco, or cotton,
and will not injure the land nearly as
much as when left idle or no. cultlva--
! ted until another year.
or course, by using different ma
nures and fertilizers and growing the
regular farm crops in rotation, the
soil a be kept up to a fairly good
state of fertilization; but it is adtisa-
BILE and essential to SOW a legume CT
] soil improvement crop in such fields
at least once in every three years, and
turn under j ma green state. Where
the regular farm crops are used only
in rotation, the soil has a tendency to
become close, and in a packed condi-
ticn, but by using a legume crop oc-
casionally the soil will always be kept
more or less in a loose or mellow
condition, also being enriched, furn-
:shing humus and plant DOC so much
required for the growing crops.
At the last cultivation given the
crop l find it important and profitable
to SOW a crop which will act as a COW
erlng during the winter. Several adj
vantages will be derived from such a
cover crop practice. First it furn-
ishes shade TO rthe soil, and keeps it
from washing or teaching so badly.
Second, it will help to retain the mois-
ture in the soil in a droughty season,
aid will also add to its fertility. Third
if the proper kind of crop is sown will
furnish some winter and early spring
grazing for cattle and sheep, which
must not be overlooked. For this Ov-
err crop I highly recommend crimson
clover, and think it most suitable to
meet all of the above requirements.
There are a number of different
kinus OF crops that may be used for
this purpose, though prefer crimson
clover and deem it decidedly the best
an0 most profitable, as / know from
experience that it is one of the best
soil builders that can be grown. Rape,
cowpeas, sofa beans and Vetches are
good crops to be used in rotation, and
f2ilowed under in a green state, as
,cac hone will add greatly to the fertil-
ity of the soil. Such crops turned
under in the green state furnish plant
food in it's decay, and after decayed
or rotten retains the moisture in the
soil, without which it is impossible
to grow any kind of crop.
Rotation of crops also means a
good deal more of different feeds pro-
duced, which saves the extra cost of
buying. This bountiful supply of feed
also means more and better live stock,
NhiCh also insureS more plant food to
be returned to the soil, which in the
end certainly means more profit and
enjoyment for the farmer. Use a reg
ular system of crop rotation, and
stick to it. You will never regret it,
Tut will find your farm far more val
liable and profitable. In Our farming
operations we must have objects in
view, such as the planting or sowing
of crops which will increase the fer
Ility or make Our soils more produc-
rive while growing them, and also to
select those which we can get the most
