There is no variety of wheat whlch
we could suggest for you to plant at
this season of the year as we do not
think you can hope to produce crop
of wheat successfully from seeding at
this date. Spring wheat, as you proc
sblv know, has never succeeded well III
Georgia. of course there may be spo-
radio instances where good results were
obtained but as general crop IL mas
not proven satisfactory.
At this season of the year we would
be more disposed to plant oats than any
other crop and we think the Burt or
Ninety Days would be the best sort 10
use. The varieties of winter wheat which
we have tested at the college that we
could recommend for your favorable con-
sideration are the following: Georgia
Red. Australian Red, Dietz Medlterra-
mean and Fulcaster. These, however, are
al strictly winter varieties of wheat
and should be sown in your section OF
the state about the LIST to the 10Th OF
November If you decide to SOW oats
we would plant them any time thls
month or early in February. We think
the earlier seeding profitable. We would
fertilize cereals with 200 pounds Of acid
phosphate and 100 pounds of cotton seed
meal and later in the season, top dress
with so pounds of nitrate of soda. The
nitrate should of course be put on rela-
lively early.

1t Is generally thought in so far as
we can ascertain that about one-half of
the phosphoric acid in basic Stag phos-
plate become available the first year.
We presume, therefore, that you could
count on about to 10 per cent of the
phosphOric acid I'm the material about
which you inquire becoming available
the first year. OF course the lime in
this material is of considerable value to
the soil though We observe that only
about 10 to 10 per cent of it is in the
form of calcium oxide or caustic. lime
We note that this material is finely
ground, which of course is an advantage
The method of determining the per
cent of available phosphoric acid as I
understand ii, is not that used in MAX
ing official agricultural analysis. We
observe that this is priced TO you at
practically $500 per ton delivered we
are inclined to think you can buy acid
phosphate at this price or a lower price
and that it will give you a larger re-
turn in available phosphoric acid than
you would observe from the use of basic
Stag. There is of course no reason why
basic Stag should not be used for cora,
velvet beans or sorghum. Unless acid
phosphate, however, will cost you con-
siderably more we would regard il as
cheaper and more desirable to use than
that material.

applied at the rate of so pounds once

All uedu OF injured limos should be
cut from your trees promptly and as
close to the trunk as possible Painting
over the part where cut may be of some
advantage. This will tend to lessen the
chance of the freshly cut part decaying
Topping the trees was very good policy
Probably these trees have reached an age
where IL will be difficult to reinvigo-
rate them and maintain them in a thrifty
condition. In an endeavor to accom-
plish this end you must cover up the
land they occupy to a considerable depth
with wood earth or anything which will
make new fresh soil and protect the
roots if they are exposed. In fact it
will be better to trim these trees up
and head them rather high so as to get
grass to grow under them so the earth
will be held i'm position around them.
We would take a considerable amount of
well rotted manure and scatter in a
circle around the trees. Do not be
afraid of using too much as they no
doubt need nitrogen. We would apply
Is to 20 pounds of acid phosphate per
tree. Remember that the roots will oc-
cupy as much ground as the branches
spread over. therefore the fertilizer
should not be put right close to the
tree, but scattered about it in a circle.
Work the acid phosphate into the soil.
We would also advise you to put some
potash around the tree. This you can
obtain from wood ashes. The ashes
should be scattered on the ground and
worked into the surface. If you follow
this plan of action you will be supply
ing your trees with some fertilizer which
they no doubt need, having probably
exhausted the available supply of plant
food within easy reach or their roots
and particularly is this likely to be the
case if the ground is allowed to become
bare and wash badly, as you indicate
in YOUR letter.
