THE PLANT FOOD PROBLEM

Ehe farmers of Georgia have prob
ably never been faced by a more diff
tlcut situation than at the present
time. There is naturally much specu-
lation as to what is the best thing
to do with reference to the use of
fertilizers. A good many farmers
are proposing to mix their materials
at home. The method of procedure
to follow is not always clearly I'M
derstood, nor do many farmers rea-
lie just what materials can be
mixed together with advantage and
what combinations should be avoid
ed. In an endeaVor to clarity the
situation and give some advice and
information which seems pertinent
at this time. the following sugges-
tons have been prepared. Those
wishing to secure additional data on
this subject should apply for copy
of bulletin 230 of the Georgia State
College of Agriculture. by L. Vincent
Davis I
Whether or not the home mixing
of fertilizers will be practical will.
depend on whether money can be
saved. Any information relative 10
securing materials and methods OF
mixing certain formulas will be ad-
vantageouS to farmers practicing
home mixing.
The usual reason is to save money
There is usually a saving if fertilizer
materials can De bought at whole
sale rates. Farmers who do not use
enough fertilizer to secure these
rates on materials can do so by CO.
operating in buying. 1t is doubtful
if a saving can be made when ma
terials are bought in less than car
load lots. In some instances Money
cannot be saved by home mixing due
to the manufacturer getting better
price on the immense quantities of
materials bought and having much
of the work of mixing done by ma
chinery.
Some farmers do not practice home
mixing for fear the mixture will not
be uniform or will be in bad mechani-
cal condition. This will not occur if
proper supervision is given.
One of the difficulties in obtain
ing materials is to find where they
can be purchased. This information
may be secured from the county
agent. H.

ture of the formula desired. In that
case the rate of application would
simply be increased correspondingly
For example, If it is desired to APP
ply 400 pounds per acre OF a 1888
and 2,400 pounds of your mixture
contains the same amount of liant
food that 1000 pounds of the COM
mercial 1888 contains, apply your
mixture with 2,400-2,000 or one and
one-ffth G.2) times as heavy as you
the rate of 500 pounds per acre.
The total weight of the materials
required to give the necessary plant
food in one tone of desired mixture
is usually less, but sometimes
amounts to more than one ton. BY
ever, the same amount of plant food
will be applied to the land. The adj
vantages of carrying the rate of APP
plication are Cd the unnecessary
work of adding filler when the
weights of the materials total less
products, which otherwise could not
be included, may be used causing
the weights of the materials to total
more than a ton.
The following are two of the most
simple home mixtures. They are
adapted only to lands needing little
or no potash.
A 10-4-OS can be had by mixing
two 100-pound sacks of standard cot
tonseed meal with one 200-pound
sack, 16 per cent acid phosphate and
applying los pounds for every 100
pounds that would be applied if a
commercial mixture of this formula
was used.
Similarly 10-2-2-04 can be had by
mixing one 100-pound sack standard
cottonseed meal with one 200-pound
sack of 16 per cent acid phosphate
and applying 81 pounds for every
100 pounds that would be applied if
a commercial mixture of this for
mula was used.
A concrete or tight board floor
or a wagon bed will be a suitable
place for mixing.
After weighing the necessary
amounts of the different materials
they should be spread out for mix
ing. The bulkiest material should be
placed on the bottom and leveled to
uniform layer. The remainder of
the materials should be spread in
uniform layers on the previous ma
terials. PulveriZe all Jumps and
shovel carefully to obtain a uniform
mixture. A failure to completely
mix the materials may cause I'M
even growth of crops when applied
to the soil because of only receiving
a part of the plant food elements.
After mixing the fertilizer should
be carefully stored either in bulk or
in sacks until applied to the soil.

These are all standard sorts that

According to the tax tags sold to
fertilizer companies in Georgia last
year, over a million tons of plant
food mixtures were manufactured
last year
1t is true that not all of this ma
terial has been paid for yet, but this
serves to show the extent of the in
dustry. Despite the fact of it's great
4ize and the wonderful crop increases
secured by the Use of this material,
there are many people, a large per-
have no true idea as to dhat COM
mercial fertilizers really are.
Fertilizer in the commonly ac-
cepted meaning is q combination Of
materials carrying the three plant
foods, phosphoric "cid, nitrogen and
potash. These three elements are
those which the plant needs most
ton. OF course, it uses other ele-
ments, but generally these can be Sc
cured in sufficient quantities so as
not to be applied in an artificial
form. Were growing plant to be
studied chemically, one would find
it is water; II per cent is carbon;
oxygen comprises another 10 per cent
besides being present in the water,
and hydrogen is 2 per cent, also
in addition to being present in the
water This leaves only 2 per cent
of the whole plant that must come
from mineral sources. These miner
ais are phosphorus, potash, nitrogen,
sulphur, iron, magnesium, calcium
sodium, silicon and some others of
less Importance. Some plants like
cowpeas, soy beans and velvet beans
can get nitrogen from the air and
store it on their roots, but even these
plants need some nitrogen added in
the form of mineral fertilizers. The
other two elements generally lacking
in most soils are phosphorus and pot

COMMISSIONERS
 GET PICTURE OF
 BIG POWER PLANT

The County Commissioners office dn the court house has received a hand some picture from the Connecticut Light &5 Power Go. The view Is from Q point on the Fairfield county side of the Housatonic river below the Stevenson dam, and is a remarka- ble piece of work. The power plant, dam, and boulevard that now does the work of the old Zoar suspension bridge that linked Fairfield and New Haven county for years, are well set out in the picture, which is clear enough for the location of the old bridge to be seen in the distance.
 That the two counties are avoiding an annual up-keep expense on the old bridge that ran annually into the thousands of dollars because of the damage done each spring by the tre- mendous dee foes, is brought to mind by the picture. It is probable that but comparatively few persons living in the two counties have seen this wonderful piece of engineering. or ap preciate the gigantic proportions of the undertaking, now a reality.

 INTERESTED IN
 VOTING MACHINE

A crowd of the curious. mostly women who have not voted before lowered around two voting machines which was set up in the corridor or the city hall, so that citizens might look them over and see how they worked. Men were stationed at each machine to explain just how the voting was done on them.
 The women seemed to take good deal longer over the business of ex- amining them than the men did Many of them wanted to press every lever to see what would happen and the demonstrators were often hard pressed to ask all of the questions that were put to- them.

MIME. CASELOTTI IS GREAT SUCCESS
 AT OPERA DEBUT

A most wonderful ovation was given to Mme. Caselotti, the Bridgeport CO., loratura, who Tuesday night made her debut as Gilda in "Rigoletto'' at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn. Shouts of bravo and "horray'' echoed from the enthusiastic audience imm edi- ately after her solo "Caro Nome" in the first act and the singer was re- called many times After the second act, in which Mme. CaSelottT showed a great amount of dramatic ability and also sang many of the most diff ficult coloratura phrases wonder full roses, chrysanthemums and other flowers were thrown from the boxes and galleries while the entire audi ence arose in compliment to the Bridgeport woman. It took small army of ushers to bring the mum erous bouuuets and baskets of flow
 In the first few passages Mrs Case lCtti seemed a bit nervous and her voice was weak but immediately after the first duet with Rigoletto she seem ed to become more self-composed and attacked the first solo "Caro Nome
 with a vim. The audience sat enrap- tured at the wonderful stacatos clear cut vet round and full and during inc aria not a sound could be heard in the oyercrowded house. Her voice was of the finest texture ana exceed irgly flexible. In her second out
 standing solo, which came near thu end of the second act when she tells her father Rigoletto that she stt loves the Duke, the impeccab1l1ty O. her intonation even in the florid pas sages was shown and her sustained tones increased in volume and beauty with duration. The famous quar- tette in the last act was admirably sung and in the final duet "Lassu IT Cielo," feeling and taste were added to her already exquisite singing.
 Mime. Caselotti is remarkable singer and should quickly rise to fame She may be easily counted one of the best finds of the season for besides the other absolutely necessary quail ties she has beauty and poise. Be cause of the lack of private press agent the Brooklyn and New YorF audience was entirely unprepared for such a recital at a debut. They haT, no doubt heard that the prima dona of the evening was making her first bow in opera but not for a moment did they believe that she would possess such a magnificent voice. Unlike mo@t
