n adjoining fields not fertilized.
Recommendation.
We believe that the Arkansas cot.
ton growers, including those located
on the rich bottom lands of Arkansas
and Mississippi rivers, can increase
methods used in the territory we have
just been over. We recognize that
conditions in Arkansas differ some
what from those in the places we have
visited and that it is necessary to go
slowly in the use of commercial fer
tilizers until each cotton grower has
determined what fertilizer and how
much will produce the highest yields
on his soil.
We caution our friends against
plunging into the use of commercial
fertilizer before trying out in small
and thorough way to ascertain the
kind and quantity needed on their
lands.
We recommend each Arkansas cot
ton grower who does not know how
five to 40 acres of cotton, according
to his total acreage and an equal area
of corn and make on this land care
full test of commercial fertilizer He
should use the kind and quantity rec
commended by the Experiment Sta
ttion, Fayetteville, Ark, and the West
ern Office, Southern Soil Improve
ment Committee, Shreveport, La.
We suggest that he send to be an
alyzed samples of his soil to the Col
lege of Agriculture, Fayetteville, Ark.
We recommend that he plant this
fall some cover crop on the land on
which he will make his fertilizer tests
next year.
We recommend for the South two
thirds OF the State that velvet beans
be planted in every acre Of corn next
year. While the beans will have a
tendency to tear down the corn and
make 1t more difficult and expensive
to harvest, the experience Of the Geor.
gia and Carolina cotton growers Is
that the velvet bean is the most profit
able legume to increase the yields Of
the crops that follow It, Should the
beans not mature they will add more
nitrogen to the soil than either COW
peas or soy beans and furnish val
liable mule and cattle feed when left
in the field through the winter and
spring.
