Winter Cover Crops Help
TO MAKE COTTON FRUIT BETTER
J. c. Pridmore, Agronomist

Js ~ TIluIoISI HSiOHOti''Ss
Inquiry-"My cotton produces plen-
ty of weed, but fruits poorly. What
fertilizer would correct this?
From the knowledge of plant nutri-
ton as it is understood at the pres
ent time, it appears that you have a
soil containing a fairly good. supply
Of nitrogen, 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 large extent for the develop
ment of the fruit, and the fastening or
the maturity Of the plant Potash gives
general tone and vigor to the plant,
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 Analysing from / per
cent to 2 per cent nitrogen, 10 per
cent to IL per cent phosphoric acid,
and l per cent to 2 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 it's growth, especially under boil
weevil conditions.

1t is safe to say that no one
crop can add more to the acricul-
tural wealth of the south than the
more extensive growing of cow
peas. This will supply the south
ern markets with much of their
hay, which is now shipped in
from the North and West. 1t
will tend to increase the produc-
ton Of live stock, which is very
essential in securing the maxi
mum returns in any system of ae-
riculturc; and it will go far to-
ard keeping the soil in good filth
and maintaining its productive
ness.

Better Farming i'm the South
Permanent Influence OF Fertilizers On Southern Soils


How has he done it," was asked.
ut has been the practice of this
farmer to put on his land the amount
Of fertilizer that he could purchase
with the proceeds Of the sale of his
cotton seed from this same land. or
course, this farmer could have grown
his cotton more economically had he
grown it in rotation with other crops.
Loss Through Leaching
SANDY soils naturally erode and
leach readily. Phosphoric acid does
not leach away but remains in the
top twelve inches of soil till it is used
by the plant. Potash will wash out
of sandy soils to limited extent, but
with clay soils it is practically all
available. The nitrates, on the other
hand. cannot long be retained by the
soil. 1t is soluble in water and there
fore teaches out with every heavy
rain.
Winter Cover Crops Help
when a field is left bare through
the winter months, sometimes more
than 40 pounds of nitrogen is leached
rom an acre. 1t will take 900 pounds
If cottonseed meal per acre to replace
this loss of nitrogen. If the farmer
plants a cover crop such as rye, Grim.
son clover or bur clover, the greater
portion of this nitrogen will be re-
aimed and become available for the
crop"

30 that plants can not get at it. To
be available plant food must be in
soluble form; that is, it must dissolve
IN the soil water and change into just
the form that the plant can use for
tits growth" says Professor Harper.
In fact" he continues, "a chemical
analysis may show that soil has lit
tie total food content, but that little
may often have plant food in a more
available form than the richer SOIL
and, as a consequence, will produce
!, greater yields.
Most of the soils of the South have
been formed from granite rocks which
have decayed or crumbled into parti-
Giles. Soils derived from GRANTEES con-
tain considerable sand Such soils
are found very extensively in the re-
gion east of the Mississippi river.
Can these sandy loan soils of the
South be made to produce abundant
crops?
"The answer is Yes Proof is pro-
vided from the experience of thou
sands of farmers. They won through
proper farm management and fertili- !
cation. Many farmers of the South are |
today getting bale Of cotton to the
ACRE WHERE lucy once got only one
third of bale. They are producing
from 50 to rs bushels of corn on the
same land which a few years ago pro-
duced only is to 20 bushels.
What is the secret Of their sue.
cess?
"Is it in the change in the methods
of cultivation? There has been con-
improvement in this respect
Has it been due to deeper blowing?
This has been a help.
''Is it due to crop rotation? The
right kind of rotation is beneficial
What then is the great reason? 1t
q this, the plants have been fed bet I
,er and they have responded with bet
,er yields. In other words, 1t came
about through proper fertilization.
