FERTuIZER AGAIN BENE-
FICIAL.

With splendid cooperation
from Mr.. M. j. Landry the fol
lowing test was carried on by Mr.
C. B. Gouaux Sugar Cane Spec
ialist and Robert j. Badon
former county agent for this par
ish, on the Oasis Plantation be
longing to Mr. C. E. Smedes.
A five-acre plot Of first year
stubble cane was selected which
had a uniform stand and uniform
soil. This plot had been prev
iously treated by the overseer
with approximately 300 pounds
of commercial fertilizer contain
ing 100 per cent phosphoric acid
and a per cent nitrogen
The test was as follows: On
the first acre 400 pounds of COM
mercial fertilizer was applied
yielding 14.6 tons per acre or an
increase of 17.S per cent over the
check plot; Acre No. 2 received
200 pounds of Nitrate Of Soda and
$50 pounds Of Acid Phosphate
yielding 14.S3 tons per acre or
an increase 70 1877 per cent over
the check plot; the check plot
yielded 1899 tons per acre; Acre
No. 4 received 300 pounds Of Nj
frate of Soda yielding 20.44 tons
per acre or an increase of IS per
cent over the check plot Acre No.
5 received an additional 400
pounds of commercial fertilizer
producing 1897 tons per acre or
an increase Of 1871 per cent over
the check plot.
The results in this case shows
as the result in the st. John test
that the limiting element was nj
trogen and that when supplied
gave bountiful increase. The
sandy soils in this parish need an
abundance of nitrogen if we may
draw conclusions from the tests
this year and should be supplied
by the growing and burying OF
cowpeas, velvet beans and other
leguminous crops, or by the addi-
ton OF Nitrate of Soda. cotton
meal or other nitrogenous fertili-
GERS.
Practically the same test was
put on plant cane in which the
approximate yield was % tons
per acre. A good crop Of cow
peas was grown on this land the
previous vera and the nitrogen
supplied.
Fertilizer made no difference
because the cowpeas left an album
dance Of nitrogen in the soil

SELLING PIGS AND BUYING
PORK NO PROFIT FOR
FARMER.

There's a profit in selling pigs
and buying pork-but not or the
farmer who follows this practice.
The farmers most profitable
course is to kill, cure, and can
enough pork for his own use and
sell any additional amounts which
he can produce and for which
there is a demand. The practice
of home curing pork has suffered
through neglect, but it is now be-
ing revived, according to the Blu
reau of Animal Industry and the
States Relations Service. These
two bureaus of the United States
Department Of Agriculture are
cooperating to encourage the gen
eral adoption of this wholesome
usage among farmers. Home
cured pork, scrapple, pork pud-
ding, sausage, canned pork, head
cheese, and lard are among the
foods which the farmer should get
from his own cellar shelves and
not from the city market. All
transportation costs and commits
sions remain in his pockets.
A bulletin, Killing Hogs and
Curing Pork" now being revised
bv the Department of Agriculture
will soon be ready for issue. New
methods and improvements have
been given space in this discussion
and details of the processes for
canning fresh pork have been
added. Canning preserves pork
with fresh pork fiavors and les
sens the toll and time incident to
some Of the older ways Of curing
the product. Besides being rapid
and simple, the new process saves
pounds Of pork for all periods OF
the year which formerly had to
be eaten soon after slaughter or
be wasted.

VELVET BEANS GOOD GRAZ.
ING CROP FOR CATTLE
AND HOGS.

Velvet beans are an important
grazing crop for cattle and hogs
in the south in autumn and win
ter, according to specialists Of the
United States Department OF
Agriculture. They are not grazed
well by horses or mules, or by
any live stock until after they are
well matured or frosted. AS the
leaves, vines, and pods decay but
slowly when subjected to weather
conditions, velvet beans will fur
nish feed until early spring. 1t
is usually better to let the crop
stand until it is well matured, or
until it is killed by frost, as the
leaves will be off the plants at
that time and the corn which has
been planted and the corn which
has been planted at the same time
NAV be gathered with less diff
Guilty.
The amount Of grazing which
will be afforded will, of course
vary with the growth Of the crop
and the quantity of corn not
gathered. but it is the custom
with many cattlemen to allow
one-third to one-half acre a
month for each steer or COW. The
usual period for pasturing velvet
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1921-01-08

beans is about three months, but
this may be shortened or length
ened as deemed advisable. When
the period is longer because of
large acreage in proportion to the
number Of cattle there is neces-
sarily some loss of feed through
decay.
Hogs should be permitted to
follow the cattle, as they will con-
sumo practically all the beans
which the cattle fail to get. A
common practice is to allow one
or two hogs in addition to the cat
tie for each acre Of beans. A
good stand Of velvet beans should
produce about $50 pounds of beef
and 100 pounds of pork an acre
