Winter Cover Crops Help
TO MAKE COTTON FRUIT BETTER
J. c. PrIdmore, Aaronomlst


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
emit time, it appears that you have a
soil containing 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 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 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 per cent nitrogen, 10 per
cent to IL per cent phosphoric acid,
and / 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 It's growth, especially under boil
weevil conditions.

The Secretary of Agriculture
is authority for the statement
that the people of the United
States waste annually food stuff
to the value of $700,000,000.00.
Improper preparation, careless

waste the most of it, says the
Secretary, but rats, mice and in
sects also destroy or damage
large quantities. This is an enor-

This means a loss of practi-

30 that plants can not get at It, To
be available plant food must be in
soluble form; that is, 1t must dissolve
In the soil water and change into just
the form that the plant can use for
Its growth" says Professor Harper
in fact" he continues, "a chemical
analysis may show that q soil has lit
tie total food content, but that little
may often have plant food in q more
available form than the richer soil,
and, as 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-
gton 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-
xation. Many farmers of the South are
today getting a bale of cotton to the
acre where they once got only one
third of bale. They are producing
from 80 to rs bushels of corn on the
same land which few years ago pro-
duced only Is to 20 bushels.
What 10 the secret Of their sue
cess?
is 1t in the change in the methods
Of cultivation? There has been con-
siderable improvement in this respect
HAS it been due to deeper blowing?
This has been help.
"ls 1t due to crop rotation? The
right kind of rotation is beneficial.
What then is~the great reason? 1t
Ii this, the plants have been fed bet
ter and they have responded with bet
ter yields. In other words, 1t came
about through proper fertilization.
"A successful Southern farmer,
whom the writer knows well, is now
producing bale Of cotton to the acre
on land which twenty-five years ago
was producing only one-third of a bale.
He has constantly grown cotton on
this land. Yet in spite Of this, he has
increased yields.

AS has been announced thru
the press, the general assembly
has passed a bill calling for an
election to determine whether or
not Tennessee shall have a new
constitution. The election is to
be held on Saturday the 28th
day of July next, and should a
majority of the votes favor the
proposition, another election will
be held on Thursday, September
9th to elect delegates to the
convention which meets in the
city of Nashville on October 80.
Each county will have at least
one delegate in the constitution
al body, the larger counties, how
ever, will be represented in pro-
portion to population.
For several years this ques-
ton has been discussed by the
people of Tennessee and the prop
osition of calling a convention
was defeated at the polls in Aug
ust last year. The result of that
election may be almost wholly
attributed to the fact that all
counties would not have been
represented in the convention.
But the present plan OF de-
termining the will of the people
and the manner in which dele
gates are to be selected seems
to be fair and every citizen of
the commonwealth should study
the question and be able to cast
his ballot to the best interest of
the state as a whole.

LANDY SMART'S LETTER

Bill Rogers is a good farmer.
He makes lots O money and has
all kinds o. machines and tools
to work with. He's goin' to buy
a new mower this spring, the one
he bought two years ago is old
and rusty and won't work much
good; and the night before
Christmas some mean boys went
out in the field where Bill keeps
his mower in the winter time
and took some O. the little wheels
off. He found 'em, but they're
rusty and don't fit much good
any more. So he's goin' to buy a
new 'un.
Then Bills got nine head O.
cattle-so many that the shed
won't hold 'em. The milk cows
hover round on the sunny side
of the shed on cold days, and lay
close to the barn on cold nights.
Bills got too many head O. cat
tie.
But Bills a mighty good far
mer and he knows lots about
when the signs and moon is
right to plant things. He would
have made lots of potatoes last
year-he had his ground in good
fix at least a week before the
moon got right-but it rained
the night before the moon
changed, and just KEEP a-rainin',
and he did not get to plant at the
right time. That's the reason he
buyin' potatoes now, but Bills
got lots of money. He give a man
some kind of a sale on his team
O. mules tother day to git money
to pay off a old store debt, and
to git a little money to pay down
on his new mower when he gifts
it; and he needs a little to buy
some harness-the rats eat his
old 'uns up last winter. He's got
to buy a new pillow too-his other
one rusted in the ground last win
ter-don't look like it would eli
ther, and the beams rotten too.
Bills got some smart children
He don't teach 'em to work-he's
going to educate 'em, and he's
doing that. He's got one boy just
IL years old and he can nearly
write his name. Bills a good
manager.

How has he done it?" was asked.
1T 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 OI
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 1t Is used
by the plant. Potash will wash out
of sandy soils to limited extent, but
with clay soils 1t 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
from an acre. 1t will take 500 pounds
of cottonseed meal per acre to replace
this loss of nitrogen. II the farmer
plants a cover crop such as rye, Grim
son clover or bur clover, the greater
portion of this nitrogen will be re-
tanned and become available Tor the
succeeding crop"

In planting of shrubs, the same

well as the Towering habit of shrubs.

A good planting Of shrubbery near
the highway will screen the house lot
from public view, while admitting
plenty of sunshine.
Most of our yards are too open to
the passer-by. They look as though
their only use was to give pleasure
to the stranger, when they should
serve the better purpose Of making
the yard quite as Ihuch part Of the
hoile as the house itself.
TO accomplish this, some study is
necessary, and careful plannin g
but a successful planting gives
privacy to the great pleasure of see

Alittle thought will lead the home
builder to so place that there is con-
venient relationship to barnyard, gar
den, orchard, and lawn. Thevegetable
garden should be convenient to
kitchen and to barnyard. and it may
easily be separated from the lawn by
flower garden, or vine covered

fashioned arbor with one side open
