The Misses Katharine and Margaret
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1918-03-12

| read with great interest Mrs. L. L.
Connally's letter in The Daily Journal
concerning the valuable qualities of the
Jerusalem /artichoke. In all my early
life we had plenty of artichokes on
my fathers plantation. We only used
them to make pickles, and until / read
Mrs. Connally's interesting letter, 1 did
not know they were used for salads, etc.
While we were poor refugees, living
near Macon, Ga, we found an artichoke
bed on the place. AS Mrs. ConnaIly
wrote, you never have to plant but
once. Unless hungry hogs can root
them up, they will stay with you to the
end.
While we were refugees, there was a
soldier camp located between us and
Macon. 1t was an officers camp. So
many regiments had been decemated
and recruiting was so slim in num-
bers, that surplus officers had accu-
INFLATED. (You could not reduce Off
GERS to the rank of high private) These
officers were nice men and so. hungry
for acquaintance and something good
to eat. The young women were equally
anxious for acquaintanceship.
Between the two I was persuaded to
give them a party! L had a fine. large
ham, flour and sorghum syrup and
plenty of artichokes for pickles. So
made pickles, boiled the ham. made
Dixie cake, with syrup, and had plenty
of hot biscuit with butter. We had
beer made of California beer seed,
sweetened with syrup. He had erected
in the front yard a small scaffold, put
layer of dirt on it and piled on fat
lightwood to make a great big light.
We had lightwood fires, inside the
house chimneys. Candles had played
out. We ate our meals during daylight.
If there ever was a hungry set of

about as deficient and essential to sue
cessful crop production in the south
eastern states as anything we can use.
OF course we can not obtain supplies
of potash for the reason indicated,
therefore, such materials as cottonseed
meal, velvet bean meal, and to a less
extent, peanut meal, have a special
value in that they supply a oonsld-
cradle quantity of this element. For
instance, If one were TO mix l,OOO
pounds of cottonsead meal containing
Sis per cent of nitrogen. 20 per cent
of phosphoric acid and LIS per cent or
potash with 1000 pounds of 10 per
cent acid phosphate, a very good for
mula to use under most field crops
would be obtained. This mixture would
contain per ton approximately ol.e
pounds of nitrogen, 1875 pounds of phos-
phoric acid and IFS pounds of potash.
Its percentage composition would be
800 per cent of nitrogen, 90 per cent
of phosphoric acid and 81 per cent of
potash. Used at the minimum rate OF
500 pounds per acre il would answer
very we'll as supplement on SOILS In
a fair state of fertility. On lands
which are not in such good condition
500 pounds would be much better ap-
plication to make. Where one wishes TO
use a fertilizer adapted to truck crops,
900 pounds OF the ABOVE IOTHuld Hilshl
be applied with a supplemental or side
application of 100 pounds of nitrate OF
soda put in two applications of 90
pounds each rather early in the grow
ing season. AS to the advisability or
making side applications much depends
on the condition of the land. Ordinar~
lily the whole amount can be put under
the drill row at one time to very good
advantage In some instances, 800
pounds of such a formula could be used
under the drill, and 200 pounds as
side application. AS a rule, side appli-
cations are not made sufficiently early
in the growing season to obtain the
best results therefrom. This is an I'M
portant point to bear in mind. the
same governs side applications of nj
trate of soda or other quickly available
carriers of this element. Using the
foregoing as a standard basic. ration
many variations can be made to adyan-
tage according to whether cottonseed
meal is available or whether velvet
bean meal or some other variety of nj
trogen is to be used.
In conclusion, the important fact for
the farmer to bear in mind under eX>
listing conditions is the necessity of in
creasing crop production in 1918. To
accomplish this end he should give his
land the best preparation and the mos,
skillful cultivating and handling he has
ever accorded IT. He should fertilize
it as literally as possible using the
best fertilizer formula he can obtain
under the circumstances
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1918-03-12

One hundred pounds OF fish scrar
would contain to per cent of nitrogen
and S to S per cent phosphoric acid. One
hundred pounds of cottonseed meal of
standard grade would probably contain
about SIS per cent of nitrogen, 2.5 per
cent phosphoric acid. and ITS per cent
potash. The acid phosphate should. of
course, contain IS per cent OF available
phosphoric acid. A mixture or 400
pounds of acid phosphate. 100 pounds
OF fish scrap and 200 pounds of cotton
seed meal would. therefore. contain APP
proximately 1882 pounds of nitrogen, -
pounds phosphoric acid and 3.5 pounds
potash. It's percentage composition
would be 2.76 per cent nitrogen, 1917 per
cent phosphoric acid and - per cent "f
potash. This would be a very good for
mula 10 use under corn and cotton y"
red land. It would be improved on
lighter soils through an increase in the
amount of nitrogen, or you might use
some nitrogen as side application. If

WOMEN As OFFICERS

l see where various energetic women
in war service have been called officers
as high in rank as majors. There was
a woman in the Civil war who held
army rank. She was known as Belle
Boyd Whether Miss or Mrs, 1 am not
able to recall 10 memory. She served
in the army of Virginia.
She came to Georgia once, perhaps
oftener, but 1 sat in a railroad coach
just behind her on trip from Atlanta
to Gainesville She wore a gray cloak
or large loose jacket. 1t had a trim
ming of gilt braid. Such as Con-
federate army officers wore. She ap-
peared to be over thirty and less than
forty. Her complexion showed expos
ure to wind and sunshine Several army
officers were on the train and they stop
ped to speak with her. Where she
was going l had no means of knowing
from what l could overhear of their
conversation.
She did some daring feats of scout
ing and information-getting. She might
have been shot as a spy She was ac-
tive in the early years of the Civil war.
Where she finally drifted to. l have for
gotten-if / ever knew. Women spies
were so often travelling that the Con-
federate government, toward the last,
required all railroad passengers to Sc
cure passport. l had to be equipped
with a passport in which 1 was de-
-size-height-color of hair and
eyes. 1 could not ride on the w. & A.
Il. r. to Atlanta to see my kinsfolk
without showing this passport to con-
ductors. We refugeed early in 1854 and
did not get back to our old home until
because it was a scuffle to keep enough
to live upon-while Confederate script
was cheap, nothing else was cheap to
eat or wear

you were to apply 80 to-100 pounds
of nitrate of soda to land on which
potatoes are to be planted and about
so pounds to land devoted to corn and
cotton this mixture is all right, and the
only suggestion for it's Improvement
which we would make would be 10
slightly increase the nitrogen in the
manner indicated. You could, of course,
mix the nitrate of soda right in with
the other ingredients wherewith you are
preparing this formula. Our thought
would be to apply all of this fertilizer
under the drill row. You can II you
prefer, however. put about 500 pounds
under the row and use 200 pounds as
a side Application. Our experience and
observation leads us to believe that side
applications should be made relatively
early in the growing season in order
to produce the best results.

Brown Fears Fertilizer
Shortage in Georgia

J. J. Brown, state commissioner of
agriculture. feels alarmed over the pos
sible results of the present difficulty
in obtaining fertilizers in Georgia be-
cause of the removal of $500 freight
cars from the southeast to the west He
has telegraphed Director General of
Railroads McAdoo, at whose order the
cars were moved to transport the ac-
grain crop, saying that
while he appreciates the necessity that
fGnpelled the order, the effect of it is
to complete the paralysis of fertilizer
to the south and that the
south will suffer as a result.

heifers cause barrenness or cause them to
lose their calves? How much cottonseed
meal should be fed in milk for best
results?
There is no reason why the use OF
cottonseed meal should cause cows to
become barren or cause them to slump
their calves We have investigated this
very carefully and have never been able
to find out that this is true. Upon
the other hand, cottonseed meal is one
of the most concentrated foodstuffs on
the market, and many people make the
mistake of feeding it in excessive
amounts. The average man who has
been accustomed to feeding corn which
contains about 8 per cent of digesttble
protein finds it difficult to realize that
one pound of cottonseed meal contains
about times that amount. In our ex-
perience we have found that 8 to 4
pounds of cottonseed meal is about the
right amount to feed to the average
COW. We have fed this material to our
college herds for a long time without
any injurious results. We believe, how
ever, that the best results are obtained
with cottonseed meal and many other
concentrates where they are fed in COM
bination.
Our idea of the very best ration which
can be provided is about one-third cot
tonseed meal, one-third corn and one
third bran or oats. Corn in particu-
lar and cottonseed meal can be COM
bined with advantage. We would be
governed by the relative cost of the
compa Mon cereal selected and fed with
cottonseed meal If fed in the manner
indicated this material will be found
one of the best ways of providing our
dairymen with an excellent supply OF
cheap protein and they can use it un-
der the conditions mentioned for in
definite periods of time without caus-
ing barrenness or inducing abortion

There is no reason why you should
not cultivate rye with success on land
OF the character described in your let
ter. Rye is much harder than oats
and il planted under good conditions
will survive the most severe weather
which is likely to occur in Georgia. We
advise the planting OF what is known
as North Georgia rye. You should be
able to obtain good seed from Haber
sham, Rabun or any of the north
Georgia counties. This rye is only
adapted for cultivation in our climate.
On good rich land it will make 10 to
20 bushels per acre. On poor land the
yield will fall down to or 10 bushels.
We would SOW at the rate of a bushel
and peck per acre, putting it in with
D seed drill and covering it to a good
depth. We would seed the rows so as
to leave a good ridge of earth between
them so that when freezes occur the
rows of rye will be protected.
Rye is valuable as a source of bread,
and our people are learning to eat it.
1t is no longer permitted even as
substitute for wheat in this country.
There should be a fine market for rye
for bread-making purposes in the fu-
ture.
Rye can be fed to almost any class
of livestock except TO breeding animals.
1t should not be fed to animals car.
rying young, as there is danger of
abortion.
The straw is valuable for bedding
purposes and you should be able to
sell il for this purpose to good advan
tage. 1t can be used in several com
mercial ways. 1t can always be com
posted and reduced to a fine form and
returned to the land for fertilizing pur.
poses.
We do not think it would be good
practice to plant timothy and herds
grass on bottom land with an oat crop.
We do not think you are as likely to
get stand at this season of the year
as in the fall. However, when sown
in a bottom with an oat crop these
grasses may be smothered out, even
after they make a stand. They will
hardly have time to establish them
selves before dry weather sets in, and
the chances are that the summer drouth
would kill them. 1t is for this reason
that we advise fall planting.
No doubt nitrate of soda would be of
some advantage and value in aiding
cotton seed to make quick start. We
would not be disposed to mix it with
the seed, however. Fifty pounds per
acre used TIA the manner indicated could
proba bly be applied with advantage
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1918-03-12

A ton of peanut meal of the character
described would contain approximately
1894 pounds of nitrogen, 26 pounds OF
phosphoric acid and 1915 pounds OF pot
ash. 1t would thus contain as much
or more nitrogen than ton or what
is known as a good grade of cottonseed
meal it would contain only about one
half as much phcsphoric acid and only
two-tn.rds as ruch potash. This ma
terial can of course be used for fer
tilizing purposes with good results.
There is no reason on earth why the
plant food should not become as quick
ly available as that contained in cotton
seed meal and I would not hesitate to
use it under the impression that IT
would not be true. This material can
of course be mixed with acid phosphate
and other carriers of plant food on the
same basis as cottonseed meal II
should be used in the same amount ana
in the same manner as mixtures OF FER
tiIizers containing cottonseed meal.
