He was sitting in the court room

He calmly took fifteen center from

mouth. The keen perception of Judge
Evans was attracted and the session
was suspended while the 7Sourt inform
ed the attorney that it cost SIS to have

Top Dressing Small Grains

One of the most profitable uses of
fertilizers is as topdressing for small
grains in the early spring. The top
dressing to use for this purpose should
be in the form of some readily soluble
nitrogen fertilizer. AT the Georgia Elk
pertinent Station best results have
been obtained with nitrate of soda.
Ammonium sulphate has been a close
second, and on land which has been
lined would probably prove quite as
efficient. Calcium nitrate is another
form of readily soluble nitrogen which
may be used. AS this fertilizer has
only been recently introduced on the
American market it has not yet been
tested out at this station. However,
from results in Europe, where it has
been in use for some time, it appears to
be as good or better than sodium nj
trate for topdressing.
The amount of fertilizer to apply
per acre varies with the soil, the kind
Of fertilizer used and the season. On
clay loan soil about 100 pounds OF
sodium nitrate gives the best results
in an average season. This amount of
sodium nitrate is equivalent to IS
pounds of ammonium sulphate or ia
pounds of calcium nitrate. The price
at which these fertilizers can be OBJ
tanned would largely determine which
one to use. On a dry year it would
pay more to use larger amounts, but
unfortunately our weather bureau is
not as yet able to foretell the seasons

BIG YEAR FOR BOIL
WEEvILS is SEEN
OFFICIALS OF DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE GUN
SHY" IN ADVICE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Despite
the fact that heavy infestation OF
boil weevils is likely in the cotton belt
this season, the department OF agricul-
ture will not advise planters to reduce
their cotton acreage, high officials de-
clared.
THE. department is gun shy in rec
ommending or suggesting to farmers
and planters what to plant. and how
much to plant" said this official.
"Our former efforts in that direction
did not meet with success" he added.
1t was pointed out by the. depart
ment's experts that decreasing the
cotton acreage would not keep down
the boil weevil depredations One
planter might put in minimum crop
while his neighbor planted his full
acreage without changing the weevil
hazard in the slightest, they said.
AS one of the means OF combating
the boil weevil menace the depart
ment's cotton experts are urging va
rious communities in the cotton belt
to plant the same kind of cotton which
would mature about the same time,
preventing the weevils from having a
succession of ripening plants to iced
upon.
eve are telling the planters that
it looks like a big year for the boil
weevil and we are urging community
planting as one OF the best means OF
circumventing the weevil," said de-
partment official.
While weather conditions in the cot
ton belt have favored the survival of
large numbers of weevils officials de-
clared that there was still a bare chance
OF temperatures low enough to kill off
some of the weevils.- Summer weather
conditions may also be sufficiently un-
favorable to the weevils to offset the
expected early and heavy infestation,
it was further pointed out.
ITS gamble amy way you look
at it." he declared, "and from where |
sit it looks like the cotton planter will
start this years crop under big
handicap"
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1922-03-07

for us. If heavy application is made
and the season turns out to be wet
there is danger of the grain lodging"
On sandy soil it will pay to use larg-
er amounts and make two applications
rather than one. On soils which have
grown COW peas, velvet beans or some
other 1egume the previous year, or
which for any reason contain an
abundant supply Of nitrogen, smaller
amounts of fertilizer than stated above
should be used.
The topdressing should be applied
as early in the spring as possible. Re
suits obtained at the Georgia Expert
ment Station show difference OF
from two to three bushels with both
wheat and oats in favor of plats treat
ed February oath in comparison with
plats treated Mar. 18th. The fertilizer
Should be applied when the plants are
dry. If the plants are wet there IS
danger of "scalding," especially with
nitrate of soda and calcium nitrate.
Increases obtained at this station
from the use of topdressing on oats
and wheat have amounted to 80 bush
els of oats, and 10 bushels of wheat
per acre. A hundred pounds Of initiate
of soda is now worth about SIS.
With oats valued at 40 cents per bush
ell, and wheat at SIPS this would leave
a profit of $9.25 from topdressigs the
oat crop, and $3.50 for the whss crop.
