Winter Cover Crops Help
TO MAKE COTTON FRUIT BETTER
J. c. Prldmore, Aaronomist

Inquiry-"My cotton produces plen.
ty Of weed, but fruits poorly. What
fertilizer would correct this?
From the knowledge of plant nutri-
tion as 1t is understood at the pres.
ent time, it appears that you have a
soil containing fairly good supply
oLaitrogen, but deficient in phosphoric
acid and potash. The element nitro
gen is considered largely with the de-
velopment of vegetative parts Of the
plants, such as the stalk, stems and
leaves. The phosphoric acid Is respon-
sible to a large extent for the develop
ment of the fruit, and the Fastening OF
the maturity Of the plant Potash gives
general tone and vigor to the 6lant,
and improves the quality Of the fruit.
The use Of fertilizer will supply these
plant food elements, and enable one
to overcome these apparent soil def.
ciencies.
A material analyzing from / Der
cent to per cent nitrogen, 10 per
cent to IL per cent phosphoric acid,
and l per cent to per cent potash,
could be used profitably in such cases.
Apply at the rate Of three or four
hundred pounds per acre before the
crop is planted, so that the plant can
get full benefit of the material early
in its growth. especially under boil
weevil conditions.

than hurt, he scrambled to his

For Special Use

When the Irish Volunteers
were ordered to give up their
arms. a Limerick man was max
ing his way to the town hall to
give up his rifle to the military
authorities. He was determined
to put it out of action before
handing it in, so he hit it a tre-
mendous whack against con-
venlent lamp post and complete
ly bent the barrel. Then he
walked in and handed his rifle
to an officer, who was rather
surprised and asked:
What kind OF a rifle Is that, my
man?"

Most Of the soils Of the South have
been formed from granite rocks which
nave decayed or crumbled into parti-
cles. Soils derived from GRANTEES con
tain considerable sand. Such soils
are found very extensively in the re-
g1on east Of the Mississippi river.
Can these sandy loam soils of the
South be made to produce abundant
crops?
The answer is Yes Proof is pro-
Vlded from the experience Of thou
sands Of farmers. They won through
proper 1arm management and fertili-
zation. Many farmers Of the South are
today getting a bale Of cotton to the
acre where they once got only one

same land which a few years ago pro
duced only Is to 20 bushels.

cess?

siderable improvement in this respect.
Has 1t been due to deeper blowing /?
This has been a help.
Is 1t due to crop rotation? The
right kind Of rotation is beneficial.
What then is the great reason? 1t
Is this, the plants have been fed bet
ter and they have responded with bet
ter yields. In other words, it came
about through proper fertilization.

Apple Purely Gift Of Nature.

From the days Of Adam and Eve man
has always hankered for apples and
much of his time has been spent in the
culture of this king Of fruits. There
are apples SO well-flavOred and juicy
and tender that they sell for five and
ten cents apiece, and each apple lover
has his favorite. But how many apple
lovers can tell where or how his favor
lite originated? All the best kinds of
apples just 'growed," like Topsy. None
Of them was evolved by propagation.

Murntnu Glories.

Wild morning glories, like the lilies
of the field, "toil not, neither do they
spin." But though arrayed like Solo
mon, they are not sought after for
landscape decoration. In the plant
kingdom they are military oppressors,
ousting every other aspirant for vege-
table honors from every acre where
they obtain footing. Hence has
sprung a strange lawsuit between two
wealthy ranchers in Santa Barbara
county, the one accusing the other Of
having seeded his land to these radiant
but hostile flowers. - Los Angeles

SeaauIIs ForeteII Weather.

Seagulls are undoubtedly weather
prophets. Dwellers on the coast have
noticed that when certain winds begin
to blow the gulls collect in large f1ocks
and fly to the fields or circle high over
the land, screaming all the while un-
easily. After such demonstrations 1t
is said that rainstorm is certain to
follow.
