those of Indiana?
The yield Of tomatoes obtained
from an acre of land depends on a
good many things. First of all, the
time of planting the crop; second,
the seasonal conditions; third, the
fertility of the land and the type of
fertilizer used: fourth, the Cultiva-
ton and care accorded the crop, and
5th, the varieties planted. The yield
In this state will vary anywhere from
8 to Is tons. An average yield of
ten tons should presumably prove
profitable under the conditions which
should prevail relative to making the
crop at the present time.
We are not familiar with the
yields obtained in Indiana, so cannot
express an opinion as to how they
should compare with those obtained
in Georgia, but if you are from that
section of the country you will no
doubt be able to gather from the
data sent you the information you
desire along this line.
There should be an opportunity
for canning tomatoes in Georgia on
profitable basis though many of our
growers are of the opinion that it
is more profitable to ship at least
the earliest part Of the crop to north
ern markets. / hardly think the can
ming industry, in so far as it per-
tains to tomatoes, has been handled
on a sufficient broad. extensive or
business-like basis to justify the
drawing of definite conclusions as to
the possibility of this industry IN
Georgia.

Quite q variety of fertiliZing
formulas could be used by you with
If you wish to prepare
a formula on your own place 1 would
suggest that you proceed as fol-
lows: Secure some cottonseed NEAR
of the highest grade you can find.
Mix 500 pounds of it with 1000
pounds of acid phosphate and 200
pounds of kainit. If you secure a
grade of cottonseed meal containing
7 per cent of available nitrogen this
formula should contain approximate
ly 60 pounds Of nitrogen, 100 pounds
of phosphoric acid, and 43 pound>
equivalent to about per cent nitro
gen, 9 per cent? phosphoric acid:
and % per cent potash. This would
be an excellent formula to use for
corn and cotton under conditions de-
scribed in your letter. Two hun
dred pounds and upward per acre
would be a satisfactory amount 70
secure enough from 200 pounds pels
acre to Justify an application Of
this character. For cotton, espe-
cially If the boil weevi1 has invaded
your section. we would put all the
fertilizer under the drill row. For
corn we would put only say 100
hounds under the drill row and use
the balance in one or two side ap-
distributed down the mid
die of the corn row at appropriate
times. The first Application might
be made when the corn is about IS,
inches high and the second when IL
is shooting into ia ssel. Our obiec-
ton. to this formula would be that
it is rather low in nitrogen. Where
the boil weevil has infected the ter
ritory we believe it will pay to in
crease the nitrogen in fertilizer
formulas used under this crop up to
3.5 or even 4 per cent.

We would recommend some of the
prolific types of corn for cultivation
in your section of Georgia. There
are number of standard sorts which
should prove satisfactory. Among
those we might mention are Hastings
Prolific, Marlborough, Cookies Pro
life, Whatley's Prolific. All Of these
are white-grained sorts and Well
adapted for growth on the upland
types of soil found in most sections
of Georgia. Whatley's Prolific has
a red ear. 1t was developed at Hell
lena, Ga, which is not so far from
where you now live. 1t is a strain
which has done well in south Geor-
gia, and should prove satisfactory
for use in Tiff county. The grains
Of this variety are not as hard as
some Of the other strains, The most
flinty type of corn of any of the va
rieties mentioned in Cookies Prolific.
We would plant these varieties in
rows four to five feet apart and leave
the stalks about eighteen inches in
the closer the plants. The thinner
the land the wider the spacing which
should be given. You should fer
tilize the land we'll for corn, as it
is a gross feeding crop and makes
a heavy draft on the plant food sup
ply of the soil.
Iowa produces more corn than any
state in the union. Their yield is
much higher than ours. OF course,
II In 1875 1920 the ' yield was 47s,8oo,0OO
bushels. The yield in this state was
approximately 76,5O0,000 bushels. You
will thus see that Iowa produces
more corn than Georgia. Iowa is in
the center Of the alluvial plain made
by the Mississippi river and it's ter
ritory. The soils there are very
rich, especially in nitrogen. Much
of the land has been comparatively
recently brought under the pillow,
hence it is still making large yields,
and take better care of it than they
are doing now the time will come
when they will have to use a good
deal more fertilizer than is now be-
