Growers Can Reduce Wastes
By Shipping No Bad Potatoes

Much of the loss in marketing po-
tatoes due to shipping ungraded.
can be eliminated by the grower with
q resultant increase in his profits.
Every rotten, frozen or under-grade
potato that is loaded, and every pota-
to spoiled while in transit or in Stor-
age, reduces the growers profits and
means a waste of TIME and labor. 1t
also means a waste of car space and
consequently it amounts to an appre-
ciable loss to the community as
whole. The United States depart
ment. of agriculture, through it's mar
Eets inspection service, is trying to
eliminate this waste
The original purpose of the mar
kets inspection service was concelV-
ed to be a protection to the ship
per. By recent act of congress the
inspection law has been so amended
that anyone with an interest in
shipment can ask for an inspection.
If a shipper receives word that
shipment has been rejected by the
consignee, he can wire the markets

kets asking for an inspection to de-
termine the cause and justice of the
reflections. The result, as was an

matte elimination of unjust reiec-
tions. knowing that an inspector is
available to the shipper receiver

ment of the inspection service has
almost done away with that practice.
Faults Found in Shipments
A second type of protection this
Service was designed to afford ship
pers was in settlement of claims
made when shipments were received
in bad condition. Inspections have
demonstrated that the railroads Oft

cially for freezing injury, and for
troubles which may arise because of
delay in transit. These results were
expected, but to a surprising extent

Soy BEANS IN THE SOUTH

North of the Fall Line. or in the
foothills of the Piedmont some at
tention is being turned to the cult
walton of soy beans. 1t is the OBJ
Iect of this article to direct more
specific attention to this crop and
10 turge its wider and more general
culture throughout the great empire
which the term Piedmont section
describes.
The peanut is best adapted for
cultivation on sandy OF loamy soils.
The soy bean gives its best results
on our heavier lands. The dividing
line in the profitable cultivation of
these two crops is not distinctly
general way the differentiation in
dictated above holds. - ~...
The soy bean is one of those old
new crops about which we know
to have almost failed to convince
ourselves of the merits of this crop
and the necessity and wisdom for
cultivating it on an extensive scale.
1t is a crop which is grown very
Orient and in fact constitutes the
main sustenance OF the people of
great areas of the earth. 1t is
crop rich in desirable animal and
human food nutrimentS. 1t is Valu-
able cor the large quantity of fine
oil it yields. It is a crop which may
be relied on to build up and in
crease the fertility of our land. 1t
is a crop valuable from every point
of view of the farmer or stock rails
er. 1t is adapted to general Guilt
walton throughout the section un-
der discussion. 1t is not a difficult
crop to establish or to handle. Up
to the present time 1t has been re-
marlably free from insect attack
and from plant disease 1t is II
crop which admirably fits into ro
t. ion system. 1t seems, therefore.
to have very many virtues and few
undesirable qualities.
Such little attention as We have
given to this crop in the past has
been primarily for its cultivation for
soil Improvement. While this is a
prime necessity we believe it may
be made to serve this purpose anG
prove highly profitable for any OF
I'll of the purposes indicated above.
Where it has been used satisfactorily
for several years as a green crop
Dlowed under or in a rotation sys-
tenn an increase in the yield of the
land of 10 to Is per cent has been
noted.
Naturally there are a great vari-
ETY. of soils in the Piedmont area but
the predominating type is known as
the Cecil Red Clay, and it is to this
type of land that the soy bean is

best adapted. 1t will do fairly we'll
in sandy or loamy soils and on some
that are rather moist, but it is chiefly
valuable for use on Well-drained
areas and has given the best returns
on stiff land as compared with light
sandy or loamy soils. There is little
to restrict it's general cultivation,
therefore, as there are vast areas OF
the type of soil to which it is adapt
ed throughout the whole Piedmont
section. This crop can also be COM
bined to advantage with variety OF
other crops 1t n.2y be sown either
for forage or for seed and thus occupy
the land the whole season 1t may
be, used as q hay crop and after har-
vesting the land may be planted to
something else, such as 'millet Or
millet and coWpeas. 1t may be made
to alternate in rows with corn or it
may be seeded as a second crop after
small grain crop, or say an early
crop of Irish potatoes. % 1t may be
broadcasted or drilled in corn at the
last working. though we do not COM
mend this practice. 1t may be drill
ed in alternate rows of cotton at the
, last working.
Our experience with the soy bean
leads us to believe that it is better to
plant it by itself Various ways of
doing this may be followed. We pre-
fer that the land should be we'll
broken to a good depth and worked
until satisfactory seed bed has been
secured. Planting this crop on poor
ly prepared land is largely waste of
time and effort. Seasonal conditions
will. of course, make it possible in
some years to plant it with compar-
atively little preparation and secure
good results. In a dry or unfrlendly
year a considerable amount of effort
may be necessary in order to put the
land in proper condition to receive
IL, land has hpRn
properly prepared we would prefer
to drill in the soy BEANS using either
a three-hoe drill for this purpose or
an ordinary grain drill in which two
out of every three tubes has been
stopped up. Broadcasting has not
of view. 1t is wasteful of seed ana
we cannot commend the practice. 4
Covering the soy beans uniformly
into the ground is both essential and
desirable if one expects to OBTAIN
uniform stand. There are some who
advocate thick and some thin plant
ing. Our experience has shown that
24-inch rows are the most Satisfacto-
nv in the matter of yield. Some pre-
fer planting in 3.5 to 4-foot rows. We
think this is a waste OF soil. "hen
the crop grows closer and spreads
across the drill, as it will, it shades
the ground and a larger yield is Sc
cured and undesirable weed growth
held well in check. When planted
in the manner indicated yields of any
where from 20 to go or SIS bushels per
acre may be anticipated on good soil.
On thin or poor land the yield may be
reduced by one-half. A good deal, of
course, also depends on the fertiiiza-
ton followed. We have always used
liberal APPLICATIONS of acid phosphate
and potash with this crop. About a
1913 is the most satisfactory formula
we know of. 1t should be used at
the minimum rate of 500 pounds per
acre This material may be scattered

Apples
The orchard needs attention along
two main lines this month. Sow
the land to peas, or drill in soy
beans. This is a point that makes
for permanent good in all farming
and on all lands, but should be most
carefully looked after in the Or
chard.
During the last days of June give
the apples their first bordeauX-arse-
nate Of lead spraying. This COM
bined spray is important in keeping
down black rot. bitter rot and the
second brood of cooling moth. Use
bordeaux of the 44-50 formula. Two
or three bars of cheap hard soap
dissolved in hot water and added to
each so gallons of spray will help
spread the material as it is sprayed
on the fruit. The use of soap is
advised with barrel spray outfits
and especially for beginners in spray
ing.
When homemade bordeaux is
used, it is always best to test with
per turns red when moistened with
bordeaux, add more lime solution
until the paper does not turn. Test
ing bordeaux is easy and should al
ways be done. Blue litmus paper
can always be secured for a few
cents from any drug store.
Peaches
The main fruit crop of Georgia
will be moving to market this month
and next 1t is common practice
to give peach orchards nitrate of
soda about ten days before the fruit
ripens. This increases size and col
or-100 pounds per acre. At the
same time the last spraying is made
for brown rot. This spraying is
very necessary to prevent loss from
rot while cars are in transit. Hot,
moist weather will cause brown rot
to develop very rapidly and protec
ton by spraying should never be
overlooked. Use the $3.50 self.
boiled lime sulphur, or use busting
sulphur if equipped for this method
Georgia Belle and earlier varie-
ties may be pruned after the crop is
off They should then be cultivated
fertilizer. This forces new growth
and makes fruit buds for another
year. This is rather too special .,
practice for general orchards, how
ever, and pease soWn thickly in the
middles should be relied on. Their
effect may be slower, but will be
more lasting and better in the long
runs
Sscans
Many trees 5 to 10 years old were
full of catkins this spring. Cat
kins are the greenish-yellow social
ed blooms" that hang down three
to four inches long on the ends of
last years growth. These catkins
furnish pollen only as does the tas
sci of corn. The blooms that SET
nuts are much smaller and appear on
new growth of this present season
shoots Young trees normally bear
catkins several seasons before the
other bloom appears. Young trees
that do not bear are usually simply
too young. Give them attention as
to cultivation. fertilizer to keep
them growing and thrifty, peas OF

shipper also are responsible, in that
they often ship poor, under-grade,
diseased potatoes.
Growers and shippers must be held
responsible for much of the loss
which results from shipping diseased
potatoes. since large portion of
such losses can be controlled, if not
entirely prevented, in the field.
Serious damage results from care
less handling when the potatoes are
harvested Too many people handle
potatoes as though they were cobble-
stones rather than a perishable prod
uct. Even the breaking of the pro-
tective skin frequently proves seri-
Gus. Such injury not only damages
the appearance and necessitates deep
pairing of the tuber, but affords ready
entrance to infection. Loss of this
sort lies in every growers and ship
per's power to control.
In grading potatoes too much de-
pendence should not be put on sizing
alone. A potato, for example, may
be so covered with second growth
( knobs that it will not pass through
the meshes of the grader, but it does
not rightly belong in the first grade.
The knobs mean much waste and re-
Quire extra time in preparing the po-
tato for the table. Or a potato may
measure up satisfactorily to the
standards of size and yet be so dis
eased as to be worthless. A potato
may even present a fine prize-Win-
ming appearance on the surface and
be far below grade because of in
juries or disease Of which there is
no evidence without cutting the tu-
Der. Freezing injury, or hollow heart
illustrates cases of this kind. The
grower should not be blamed for
losses which result from these
causes, but to a great extent field
conditions are the primary cause of
the troubles which appear when the
potatoes are marketed. -
In it's study of shipments of pota-
toes on the principal markets, the
inspection service finds that the late
blight tuber rot, which Is frequently
followed by Shiny soft rot, causes
heavy losses. This disease is appar-

state of high cultivation and allow
time and age to take care of the
bearing.
In top working old seedlings, it is
better to defer placing buds for four
to six weeks longer. Placed now
rapid and sappy that much loss
from winter killing results. Places
later, the buds stay dormant and the
danger is largely overcome. This
does not apply south of Albany and
Fitzgerald, where the growing sea-
son is long enough for very vigorous
growth to ripen and withstand the
winter.
Satsuma Oranges
Get the middleS covered with some
shading crop, Those being used are
iron peas, corn and velvet beans,
sweet potatoes and tobacco This
last should not be closer nan four
feet to young trees, fiv1 rect to old
err ones and both tobacco and trees
should be heavily fortified. Peas
or velvet beans are best.
Spray for white fly with paraff1n
oil preparations. Use according to
manufacturers directions. About
two weeks after the white fly can be
seen in flight is the time to spray.
Keeping down this pest will control
sooty mold and the Florida citrus
scales.
The markets are becoming more
and more particular. Use every
known means to produce extra fancy
fruit. Grade all fruit into extra
fancy and choice grades of uniform
color and size. Ship only in stand
ard crates and boxes and be sure
they are properly nailed. Get load
ing specifications and follow these
closely. Don't lose a good crop
through careless methods of market
ing.
Apple growers should consider the
Central Packing House" plan-a
larger volume of fruit in uniform
grade and pack for better market
returns.
Peach growers will find the pre-
cooling of cars reduces ice charges
and makes fruit carry better. An
ice bin, built alongside the track,
cold air fan driven into one car
bunker and hot air out the other.
This. done after loading until fruit
is cool, then icing the car, gives ex-
cellent results cheaply.

ent at the time of loading, and the
bad tubers can be sorted out. There
is no business economy in paying
freight for shipping potatoes when
rejection is a foregone conclusion.
Scab is another example of field
disease which causes severe deprecia-
ton in the value of a crop of pota-
toes. The presence of a few scabby
potatoes may lower the grade of an
otherwise fancy lot. In some sec
tionS Scab can be controlled by seed
treatment but in many Cess careful
grading will prevent scabby potatoes
as we'll as those affected with wire
worm, White-grub, nematode, and
flea-beetle injury from reaching the
market.
Other Troubles Cause Rejection
Other field troubles, less apparent
at the time of digging than these.
often play a role in the rejectionsaof
rot of southern potatoes, and the
group of rots- associated with flu
sarium wilt. During the winter the
heaviest losses are due to rotS which
start in wounds inflicted in digging
loading and hauling. These rotsS
known as fusarium tuber rets, are
caused by fungi which live in the
soil, and can attack tubers in any
sort of break in the skim, whether
caused by bruising, fork injury, jam
ming, freezing or disease such as late
blight tuber rot. These rots progress
rapidly in storage and transit, and
cause enormous losses.
Freezing due to improper loading
or heating of cars is also very COM
mon. In warm weather, the greatest
losses are due to Shiny soft rot,
which is caused by certain bacteria
attacking potato tissue which has
been killed by bruising, water-log-
ging of the soil, scalding, freezing or
other causes.
