Fertilizers for Cotton

kerG1IXerS Tor COTTON
The crop of first importance from
a fertilizer and money standpoint,
of course, is cotton. 1t may be said
that next TO the cotton gin that fer
tilizers have developed the cotton in
dustry. 1t pays to use fertilizers
under this crop on all of the soil
types of the south, but the proper
tons of phosphoric acid, nitrogen and
potash Will, of course vary accord
ing to the previous treatment of the
land and the rotation of crops. The
farmer can generally tell about what
proportions of the three plant foods
should be used if he will watch the
performance of his plants on his
type of soil.
On soils where the cotton is in
clined to run to weed and fruit poor
ly, as is tho case on rich, alluvial
bottom lands, fertilizer carrying a
high per cent of phosphoric acid
cotton grows a small weed, and the
foliage has a yellow cast, fertilizer
carrying a large amount of nitrogen
should be used. If only a small
amount of nitrogen is used at plant
Ing this should be supplemented by
a nitrogen top-dressing. 1t should
be remembered that nitrogen in a
fertilizer makes the weed growth. 1t
causes the plant to grow off more
quickly and to bloom earlier. The
phosphoric acid causes the fruit to
mature early and the potash makes
the plant healthy and strong. 1t
the cotton plant shows sign of rust,
or any unhealthy condition, it is a
sure sign that more potash is needed.
AS I have stated, while it is al
most Impossible to give formulas
that will apply to all conditions, it
is possible to give those that have
been used with success. These may
be varied according to the previous
treatment of the land because where
legume has been grown the previous
season and turned under, not as much
nitrogen will be needed. Where a
heavy application of barnyard ma
nure has been made not as much
nitrogen or potash is needed: then,
too, the soil may already be rich
in some one or two elements which
makes it unnecessary to add these.
To fight the boil weevil requires
that the fertilizer be such as to pro-
mote rapid growth, early setting OF
the fruit and quick maturity.
The soil type will also have bear
ing on the formula. For instance,
the types of soil found in the sandy
coastal plains regions will require
slightly less phosphoric acid, not
because they are so well supplied,
but because their physical and chem
ioal conditions allow the phosphoric
acid to be more readily available
than in the clay types Of the Pied
mont regions. More potash is needed
in the sandy soils than in the clayey
soils
This brings us down to specific
formulas for cotton, and the follow
ing seven should about cover all

Ten per cent phosphoric acid, 5 per

The amount OF fertilizer per acre
to use for cotton to obtain the most
profitable results depends upon the
soil type, the rotation followed, the
cultivation given, the season, and the
price at which cotton is selling. Bull
1etin No. 1879, issued by the North
Carolina department of agriculture
makes this statement: varying the
amounts of the normal fertilizer ap-
plcation from 200 to 1000 pounds
per acre gave increased yields and
profits for all the applications, the
results being quite uniform in TINS
regard and the average after paying
for the fertilizer showed the follow
ing net profits on the basis of fer
tilizer and cotton prices in 1917:
200 pounds of fertilizer gave a
profit Of $4O.13.
400 pounds of fertilizer gave q
profit Of $3.50.
600 pounds of fertilizer gave
profit of 82.11.
500 pounds of fertilizer gave
profit Of $8616.
1000 pounds of fertilizer gave a
profit of $95.3S
How much more fertilizers could
have been used in this instance, with
profit, the test does not show as the
profit per acre was still ascending.
In another experiment this station
found that the profits per acre In
creased with applications of 200. 400,
500, 500 and 1900 pounds of fertl-
lizer when cotton and fertilizers We're
selling at 1919 prices.
1t has been found by experience
that where the nitrogen comes from
a number of different sources better
results have been obtained than when
secured from ony one source Cotton
seel meal, dried blood. tankage, fish
scraps, nitrate of soda, sulphate OF
ammonia, are the main sources or nj
trogenous fertilizers. Some of these
act more quickly than others. but do
not last as long. A combination,
therefore, operates for the longest
sustained efficiency.

the reason that it is the most eco

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. III. FELTON,
A Canadian Discovery

A paragraph that is interesting to
people who had to pay fifteen and
seventeen dollars for a ton of coal in
North Georgia reads this way:
"a farmer in Saskatchewan (Brit-
ish Columbia) has found clay de-
posits on his land, out of which he
has been manufacturing what he
calls 'firelighters' on A small scale.
The lighter is in the form of a brick
If soaked in kerosene for a few min
utes and ignited the brick will burn
for Il half hour, with a steady flame,
and when exhausted can be re-
rlenished with kerosene and used
indefinitely"
That word indefinitely sounds re-
markedly good. One might have two
or three brick in soak at a time and
thus keep the heat up to required
standard.
) Something big may come out OF
that, don't you think? 1 remember
we'll the first time i ever talked into
A telephone. 1t was a trial test, and
reached from the capitol in Washing
ton City to the government printing
office, a short mile. If anybody had
told me you could take to New York
or San Francisco, as I was talking to
the printing Office on that monentous
day, I'D have said, You are plum
crazy, 1t just can't be did" But now
that the wireless telegraphy is es-
tabltShed how little L knew about
the telephone activities, away back in
the late seventies.
TO return to the fire lighters If
there is a plenty of kerosene oil in
reach why not buy two or three Sas-
katchewan brick and make trial
test in Georgia? I would like such
ian Invention for off
May Day, 1921
While the thermometer ran up
above eighty degrees several times
during the last week in April, the
first of May is a sure enough cool
day for the time of year," This
1854, when we had a killing frost
in north Georgia. Everything was
killed that was green, even leaves
on the trees. Winter clothes and
big wood fires were in demand. The
onion Pip patches were loud in their
field escaped. Not a peach escaped
in the state that year that l knew
anything about.
That May day was full of gloom
to farmers. In those days we made
a, business OF planting everything
the frost Swept the platter clean"
All the growing corn was black
ened in the, fields-where it was
newly plowed it was killed dead.
This killing. frost was followed
by severe drought, and between
the two it taxed the courage and
fortitude of the farmers almost to
the limit in 1854.
I was not here when the Gold
Saturday, came along. 1t occurred
in January. 1885, and 1 arrived in
June 10, of the same year, nearly
eighty-SiX years ago.

Establishing A Hnor Farm

Establishing a hog farm may
seem to be comparatively simple
undertaking. Like any other enter
prise, it calls for the exercise and
expenditure OF wise consideration
and generous effort. One can, of
course, start in the business in q
comparatively small way and so
the cash outlay need not be SO
large. Hogs multiply so rapidly that
In short time one can build up
q herd of considerable proportion
On this account, the. business is
one of the most attractive to our
farmers under existing financial
conditions, and I think the present
Is as timely as any period in our
history for giving sideration to
this phase of our animal indus
tries. In doing this, however, there
are certain important facts which
we must keep in mifd at all times
in order to insure the success of
an enterprise of this character.
In no business is a stitch In
