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-
sation. Many farmers OF the South are
today getting bale of cotton to the
acre where they once got only one
third of bale. They are producing

siderable Improvement IN this respect.
HAS it been due to deeper plowing :?
This has been help,
lis 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 bot
ter and they have responded with bet
ter yields. In other words, it came
about through proper fertilization.
GA successful Southern farmer,
whom the writer knows well, is now

was producing only one-third of a bale.

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. OF
course, this farmer could have grown
his cotton more economically had he
grown it in rotation with other crops.
Loss Through Leachlng
SANDY soils naturally erode and
leach readily. Phosphoric acid does
not leach away but remains ia 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 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 for the
succeeding CROP"
