Soils.
In the Piedmont region, on poor
land, nitrogen" Is the first limiting
factor and phosphorus" the second
limiting factor. In this section, on
fertile soil, phosphorus is the first
limiting factor and nitrogen is the
second limiting factor. Therefore.
using the three sources of plant food
already discussed, we should suggest
the following applications and for
mulas, which may be varied within
certain limits to meet local condi-
tions.
|. For poor to ordinary land, an
application per acre Of from 200 to
400 pounds of a mixture composed of
1000 pounds of 16 per cent acid
phosphate. 500 pounds Of 7 per cent
cotton seed meal, and 200 pounds
OF nitrate Of soda is recommended
This mixture should analyze S.S per
cent available phosphoric acid, nitro
gen equivalent to 4.6 per cent ammo
MIA, and enough potash will be fur
nished by the cotton seed meal to
give the mixture content of 0.6 per
cent potash.
2. On fertile soil, an application
per acre of from 800 to 600 pounds
Of mixture composed Of 1900
pounds Of 16 per cent acid phos-
phate, $3.50 pounds of cotton seed
meal and $50 pounds Of nitrate Of
soda should give good results. This
mixture should analyze 1925 per
cent phosphoric acid, nitrogen equiv-
alent to 3.63 per cent ammonia, and
O.i9 per cent potash.
Nitrate Of soda should be applied
to small grain early in March and at
a time when the blades are dry.

will give better returns applied to
cotton than to any other general
farm crop.
There are three fcrtilizing mate
rials OF which, our farmers can make
good use on land that is in COM
paratively poor state Of cultivation,
and, fortunately, this includes a
large percentage Of the cultivated
lands in this State. These materials
are: acid phosphate, cotton seed
meal, and nitrate Of soda. 1t is true
that the prices OF these materials
have advanced, but not much more
than has been the advance in the
price Of cotton seed. 1t is good
plan for the farmer to return the
money received for his cotton seed to
his land through the purchase of fer
til!zer and to supplement this as
much as he feels able. The rate Of
exchange Of seed for meal Is better
than usual; nitrate Of soda has ad
vanced about so per cent in price.
/ and acid phosphate about 80 per
cent while cotton seed has advanced
more than SO per cent over prices
mat formerly prevailed. From the
above information we see that our
cotton seed will purchase almost as
much fertilizer as usual.

When advised of the analysis today
DR.. Foster ordered the we'll condemned
and it will be filled up so as to permit
no more water to be taken from it.
Rock Island has been exceedingly
fortunate this year, local authorities
claim, in that there have been few
cases of typhoid fever in this city. In
other cities nearby the disease has
bordered on an epidemic The few
cases here are traced to drinking wa
ter from wells. State and city reports
on the city water show that it is free
