Of Norwich university from President

OF being struck by an automobile.
1t had been known that Norwich

1t was not known how much money
would be realized from the estate, so
that todays announcement OF the

BIGGER ACRE YIELDS

pigs is pigs" says one man. seed
Is seed" says the same fellow. And
this man, as well as thousands OF
other farmers, fails to appreciate the
difference in the productiveness OF
pure bred seed Of varieties known to
yield well under local conditions. Be
fore the writer are the results of the
Mississippi Experiment Station on va
riety tests for last year. One variety
produced 1904 pounds seed cotton per
acre. Another variety produced AIS
pounds, or less than half as much. The
variety Of crop to plant whether the
crop be cotton, corn or anything else
Is q very big item. When the variety
il determined, the next step is to get
pure seed Of this variety.
Since the lands under ordinary man
agement are rapidly decreasing In nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash, II
is essential. in getting big yields, that
fertilizers containing these be applied
In such quantities as will supply the
needs Of growing crops. Experimsn.
tai results as well as practical expe.
rience of farmers show that each dol
lar invested In the right kind Of fer
tilizer will return from $500 to $500
in value of additional crops from each
acre fertilized.
Az to the kind and amount of fertil
iser to apply, one must Of necessity be
governed by the character Of soil, Its
past treatment and the crop to be
grown. Generally speaking, however
one is safe in using three or four hun
dred pounds of fertilizer for cotton on
practically all soils except bototms
This fertilizer mixture should analyze
or 10 per cent available phosphoriG
acid and from 2 to per cent nitro
gen. II the son is. somewhat sandy
in nature, the fertilizer should also
contain or per cent potash.
The fertilizer used should be applied
in the furrow under the row and thor
oughly mixed with the soil while the
land u being prepared, : usually ten
days or two weeks previous to plant
,, ing. Where no fertilizer distributor Ii
available this Is usually applied by
hand.
Finally, for best results Tor cotton
at least, the rows should be compare
lively close and the plants should be
left 6 to Z inches apart in the drill
Ordinarily we do not have enough
stalks on the land for biggest cotton
yields.
Frequent and shallow cultivation
enough to keep down the weeds and
grass, to retain the soil moisture
should be followed till late in the sea
son. By following such practices We
are sure that the acre yields of cot
ton and other crops will be materially
and profitably increased.

CARELESS Of the number of acres plant

prices are high, II the farmer is to
have any profit at all for growing his

The greatest drawback in the az

Of commercial fertilizers: "a con-

Since the necessity for getting high

should be planted to cotton this year
that is not fertile enough, or cannot
be made 90 with fertilizers and ma

seasons, produce about . bale per

The land used this year for cash
crops should be given the best and

produce biggest yields must have q
