No Substitute for Potash.
Mozart Quintet

want to particularly warn the far
mers of Georgia against using substi-
tutes for potsah, unless they really
know what these substitutes are and
what they will do. We have ma
terial product in Georgia which all
farmers have been using for many
year, with good results, namely, cot
ton seed meal.
The mixture of cotton seed meal
and acid phophate in proper proper
tions makes good fertilizer, but nat
urally under present conditions, the
farmer is justly alarmed at the prices
, of these products which are unpre-
cedentedly high. But, considering
the high price of cotton seed and that
of acid caused by the European war,
we can readily see why this product
costs more than it did before.
Every farmers knows there is some
potash in cotton seed meal. 1t may
be gathered from the State Chemists
assertion published in the depart
ments bullentins, that the average
amount of potash in cotton seed meal
is 1.8 per cent. Therefore, in calucu-
lating the value of cotton seed meal,
1t is necessary to multiply the nitro
gen content by the value of nitrogen
ruling for the season, namely, $500
per unit this year, as against $3.50
last year, and andding to this result
$3.50 to cover the value of l.8 per
cent of potash calculated last season
at $l.5O unit, and this year at not less
than 5000, and 81 per cent phospho-
ric acid calculated last year at 70 cents
per unit and this year at $1O0. Stand
ard meal contains 6.18 per cent nitro
gen, equivalent to 7 IL per cent am
monia, while high grade meal dust
coptain not less than 600 per cent nj
trogen, equivalent to per cent am
monia.
Taking this average content of cot
ton seed meal, you can clearly see
from this calculation that the Chemist
considers cotton seed meal at the
present prices of the ingredients
which it contains, worth something
like $500 per ton for fertilizing pur-
poses.
This information is given to you,
Mr.. Farmer for such assistance as it
may render you in the matter of chos-
ing the fertilizer you will use this
year, You will understand that this
department cannot advertise or re-
commend any particular commodity

or material. Our duty is simply to
place before you the facts.

1t is exceedingly gratifying to this
department to receive so many en-
couraging reports from the bacteria
furnished to may farmers over the
state for the incubation of legumi-
nous crops. Many have inquired as
to whether or not this becteria will be
furnished at Is cents per acre this
year. am glad to say that the price
will be no higher and those wishing
the bacteria can obtain it from this
Department by mailing US either Post
office money order, check or cash.
In ordering it should be stated for
what crops the becteria is wanted,
for the reason that each legume re-
quires a special strain of bacteria.

MOISTURE IN GRAIN

~ HE department of agri-
W culture is giving atten-:
ton to the subject of the
moisture percentage in grain.
The weight of the water
which is contained in varying
proportions in all grain, flour,
and cottonSeed should be sub
h'acted and only the dry ma
terial considered in making
sales and purchases, say grain
Standardization specialists of
the department. Such a meth
cd is fair, they declare, for pro-
ducer, dealer and consumer
alike. The percentage Of mois-
ture in different lots of grains
and seeds and their products
are always appreciable and
sometimes very high. The pur-
chaser who merely buys such
products by weight or volume,
therefore, without considera-
ton of moisture content, is Of
ten paying a grain price for
considerable quantities of ordi-
nary water.
The advantages in trading
on a dry-matter basis are not
confined to the dealer, but are
shared by the producer. Be-
cause grains as they come from
the farm often contain such
large percentages of moisture
that they are in danger Of fer
menting or molding, dealers
take a risk in handling them.
For this reason the prices paid
to farmers are usually placed
low enough to compensate for
probable loss or for the cost Of
artificial drying. The average
price struck is usually lower
than the farmer with low-mois-
ture-content grain would re-
ceive on a dry-matter basis,
and therefore penalties good
farming methods. The general
adoption of the dry-matter
basis, the department special
