Side Applications to Cotton.
At the time the cotton plant is In
full bloom ample plant food must be
available or else large percentage
of the squares will she'd While there
are other factors that cause shedding.
for example, lack of proper amount
of moisture; still. 1t has been proven
that even with the most favorable
moisture conditions. lack of plant
food is the potent cause of this
trouble.
Under boil weevil conditions, the
fertilizer used in side applications
should contain a high percentage Of
phosphoric acid and rather low per-
centage of nitrogen. This fertilizer
has the effect OF forcing the young
bolls to quick growth and early ma
turity.
Side Applications to Corn.
While 1t usually pays to make =
larger side application OF fertilizer for
cotton than for corn, still, many OF
the best farmers in the Southeast
advocate liberal side applications for
corn.
The period Of the growth OF corn 10
much shorter than that of cotton; con-
sequently, there must be present in
the soil large supplies of available
plant food at the critical period of its
growth, which is from the time 1t is
waist high to tasselling time.

Our Fertilizer Experience on Cot
ton and Corn

Ye editor has been asked so mar v
times recently to give in these columns
description Of the use of fertilizer on
bis six-acre cotton patch last year thi t
we have decided to give 1t. giving 81
our reason for doing so these requests
and with the hope that it may prove
beneficial to some farmers who want
to know.
As early as the ground could be
worked, ordinary branch bottom land,
the stalks were cut and the land broken
deep with a two-herse plow. It re-
mained in that condition until planting
time when it was disked thoroly. har-
rowed with section harrow, laid off in
fOur-foot rows with a fertilizer dis
tribu,or putting 200 pounds of l6 per
cent acid phosphate to the acre. Four
burrows with one horse turning plow
made up the cott6n ridges and these
were ruled with heavy roller to level
the tops. Then followed the planter
putting down l6 pounds of seed per
acre. A rain came before the cotton
came up and crust formed and we
broke Il With light plank drag. drag.
g,ng two rows at each trip. The cot.
ton came up thick, several stands.
1t was scraped, chopped and dirted in
the usual manner, and when about six
inches high we ran fertilizer distribn or
on one side of each row putting down
so pounds Of nitrate of soda to each
acre. Cultivation with Perry cultvs.
tor followed. and two weeks after tt e
first application of nitrate second ap-
plication of so pounds YVES made on the
other side of tne row from the one on
which the first application was made
thus giving to each acre 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda. so pounds on each side
of the row, two weeks apart. Follow.
iug this, the cotton was worked after
the usual fashion, working 1t until the
limbs Tapped in the middIes.
We ginned six bales that weighed
3247 pounds. and representative of
the Progressive Farmer who visited the
plot after this was picked estimated q
full belle then in the field. but our
neighbor's cows gathered it for US.
aud we figure that the loss in rotton
cotton was a full bale. Had the fall
been an average one We believe we
would have gathered full 1000 pounds
of lint cotton. and this land is no bet
ter than thousands of acres of Fay
cite county branch bottoms. In fact
we know of many an acre that is more
fertile.
We believe the big yield is due to
the deep blowing, the fertilizer used.
and the frequent and late civilizations
given it.

Garden Notes

The annual spraying season is on and
every fruit tree in the county should be
given a thoro dosing with lime sol pher
solution to kill the scale that is sspping
it. The disease is prevalent thruout
this section and no orchard is free from
it without the annual spraying with
lime sulpher. For the average family
orchard an ordinary tank sprsyer is
sufficient and the work car be done in a
days time or less. the entire cost. sprayer
material and labor not amounting to any
big sum and it will save the trees for
years. Another spraying should be given
when the fruit is in the shuck. just
shedding the bloom., to prevent the
worms in the fruit.
This is about the last esli for pruning
trees and grape vines. II vines are
pruucd later they lose much strength
by bleeding and so reduce the fruit
yield.

plants for nexi yesr's crop. And it i

Each one or these projects is carried
on under the supervision of the Agri-
culture Teacher. This does not always
mean that the teacher must tell the
pupil in detail what to do and low to
do il. 1t means that the teacher is to
be on hand and help the pupil out of
difficulties. The pupil really puts into
practice what be has gained from his
study In the class room. laboratory and
field observations which are carried on
under the direction of the teacher.
Aside from the educational value Of
these projects there is the business
value. You will notice that the total
net profit to the boys, including the
amount paid to themselves for labor, Ia
$l23l. 70. This amount is more than
enough to match the salary vf the
agriculture Teacher for the last year:
and IL the boys had undertaken to psy
the salary of the Agriculture Teacher.
they could have done it and would have
bad $3l. 70 left over.
Then again, the average value OF each
hours work spent in care of projects
was 81. 81 II any one can give US
better proposition for making money
while going to school we should like
very much to know of it.
The coming year promises to bring
in even greater returns aud it is our
determination to make the Agricultural
Department an efficient and profitable
part of the High School. We are maxi
hing collections of grains, seeds and post
ers for the Agriculture Room. New
laboratory apparatus is being acdsd
from time to time. The Hot bed has
been finished and Cabbage and Tomato
plants will be ready to transpltnt by
the first of March or soon after.
The two courses being followed this
year are Field Crops"
and "Horticuture" including Orchard
ing and Gardening. There is no ques-
tion as to the Importance of these two
courses. No boy can afford to be with
out knowledge of the care Of orch-
ards and gardens, whether he expects
to live in town or in the connsry. The
profits are often times spent for food
that might have been raised on the
place.

jects in progress for this year.
