Possibilities of the Potato

Undersize potatoes are often thrown
away when they are capable of many
uses. Raw potato removes mudstains
from clothing. Small potatoes, when
baked and made into poultice, re-
lieve sore throat ard toothache.
New boots will shine like old if the
leather is first rubbed with raw pota-
to. The water in which potatoes have
been boiled proves good insect de-
stroyer.
Then small potatoes, when boiled,
can be utilized in place of soap. They
are very superior to the latter in
washing very fine linens and other
delicate fabrics. Rub the potato well
into the material and then rinse thor
outly. Silk, cotton and linen are
generally improved by,this treatment.

SIDE APPLICATION
OF Fertilizers
FERTILIZERS ARE CHEAP.
AGAIN.
Practice of Side Application Will
Be Extensively Followed i
This Year. q

Atlanta, Co., April receiy-
ed from fertilizer companies indicate
that the Southern farmer fell good
deal short Of using as much fertilizers
at planting time this year as usual. Sew
eral reasons are assigned. One is that
the farmers waited for the price Of
fertilizers to fall with the expectation
Of using them in greater quantities
than the usual amount as side applica-
tions to the growing crops.
1t seems that the practice of side ap-
plication of fertilizers is quite common
ly followed by successful Southern
farmers. In fact, the Williamson Meth
cd of growing corn that is popular in
the coastal plains region Of the South,
provides that no fertilizer be applied
except as side applications to the corn
crop.
On the question Of side applications
Of fertilizers, J. N. Harper, director Of
the Soil improvement Committee and
recognized authority on agricultural
methods Of the South, says, that there
are more than the usual advantages
this year in favor Of side applications.
The reason is apparently favorable to
giving good response to fertilizers.
A word of caution is, however, sounds
ed by Mr.. Harper. He says that the
side applications should be made early.
Late applications to cotton will only
prolong the growth Of the. plant and
favor the boil weevil. He says that
It will be better to make both the side
applications Of complete fertilizers and
the nitrogen top dressing within six
weeks after planting, where the boil
weevil is present. =
For corn, he states that side applica-
tions are quite generally made too late
to get the best results. On clay loan
or heavy soils he advises side appli.
cation and nitrogen dressing when the
corn is from knee to waist high. For
sandy or light soils, he says that side
applications can be made later, thatiis,
when the corn is waist to shoulder:
high, but before it begins to bunch to
tassel. .,.4a. = .cs,eE
Mr., Harper says that care must be.
taken to use only readily available
forms of fertilizer so that the growing
plants can utilize them in promoting
rapid growth and development Of Fruit.
The fertilizer should contain .phos.r
phoric acid in the form OF, acid sphos.~
phate. This is the main element for
fastening maturity. The fertilizer
should also contain nitrogen and potash
In the readily available form. Nitrogen
promotes the growth Of the stalk and.
leaves and potash strengthens the plant
and helps fill out the fruit. ,,i.es,7 49,
A top. dressing of sulfate Of ammonia
or nitrate of soda is quite commonly
made, and, according to Mr.. Harper, it
should follow closely after the second
application Of fertilizer, and within the
periods of cotton and corn growth
which he mentions above. fff

AVOID MISTAKES IN %
POISONING BoLE WEEViE
WeeviIs Can Be Poisoned With
Profit. ~

The United States Department of
Agriculture, through its boil ,weevn
experts, Profs. B. R. Coad and T.. 2.
Cassidy, have issued statement, a
part of which is entitled Where It
Will Pay You to Poison" This part
Is as follows:
It will pay to poison
II the weevils are really injuring
your crop seriously, and r.!g1
If your land is sufficiently fertile
to yield at least one-half bale per acre
with weevil injury eliminated, and
II your farming organization is such
that you feel assured that the poison
applications will be made at the right
time and in the right manner, and
If you are willing to spend the full.
amount necessary to provide an ade-
quate supply Of dusting machinery and
poison.
The general gains from weevil poi
soning under average, fairly favorable
conditions seem to be from 200 to 400
pounds of seed cotton per acre, but,
owing to variations In degree Of wee
vii injury it is not safe to expect much
more than the lower figure.
Consequently, you should not POI
son if the cost of the calcium arse
nate, the cost of labor to apply 1t.
and the depreciation on t-a busting
machines will total E.ore per a2r1-
than the current We u 100 pound
of seed cotton.
Hand guns should be figured as de-
preciating 100 per cent in season and
the larger machines about rs per cent.
Do It Right Or Not At All
Many valuable lessons have been
gained from the recent expension Of
commercial weevil poisoning. 1t has
again been shown that the boil wee
vii can be poisoned with profit II con-
d;tions ARE favorable and if proper
methods are used, but it has been EN-.
nhasiaed anew that unfavorable condi-
tions and improper methods can lead
only to failure. A survey OF the poI-
sonins by farmers in 1920 shows thai
an unfortunately large proportion were
not properly informed as to the concl,
tio,s under which they should poisca
and ths methods they should pursue.
AS a. result there were many unneces'
sary failures. III. Si.s. IssSs5ssG !.

Farmer Turmut had been to mar
ket. His cattle had been sold for good
prices, and feeling flush, he bought a
piece of cloth to have made into a
suit of clothes.
But alas! on his homeward journey
he lost it. His carelessness annoyed
Mrs. Turmut very much. She told the
preacher about it the next day.
A week later the clergyman met
Turmut. "Good morning, Mr.. Tur-
mut," said the good man, "have you
heard anything about your cloth?"
"Yes", he said mournfully, and
solemnly, 81 have-morning, noon
