A Good Formula for Top Dress
ing Corn

A Good Formula for Top Dress
ing Corn
G.. !. T., Canton, Ga, writes:
| would like a good fertilizer for
corn to be used as top dressing.
What do you think of $50 for
muIa? What packing house
tankage with acid makes good
top dressing?
A $50 formula could be used with
very good advantage as 9, top dress
ing for corn. We do not advise a
large application of phosphoric acid
and potash. AS a rule, our lands are
not overly well supplied with a
readily available amount of these
types of plant food. Therefore,
rather liberal fertilization with these
two elements at the time the crop is
planted must be considered good
practice in your section Of the state.
In top-dressing corn, our best re-
suits have come from the use of a
high grade carrier of nitrogen. l
can not say as to whether there Is
much difference in the results OBJ
tanned from applying this material
once or twice. We are inclined to
think, however, that it is good prac-
tice to use two side applications to
corn; the first when it is from to
10 inches high and the other when it
is about ready to bunch to tassel.
Tankage obtained from a standard
tied packing plant with acid would
answer very we'll as a top dressing.
I am inclined to think, however, that
O carrier of organic nitrogen or even
tankage alone would be sufficient to
meet the needs and requirements OF
this crop.

Thinning Cotton Under Weevil
Conditions

C. F. NJ, Canton, Ga, writes:
I have twelve acres planted to
cotton. The rows are four feet
apart. 1 used $50 pounds Of
1924 fertilizer and will follow
by IS pounds of nitrate OF soda.
Should | thin to one stalk or
leave two to the hill, 10 inches
apart? ! have planted my corn
with q planter which dropped
the grains two or three at
time, Is inches apart. Would you
advise thinning this to one stalk
or cutting out every other hill?
When growing cotton under boil
weeVll conditions, 1t is best to make
the rows closer together and to thin
the cotton out much less in the drill
row than has hitherto been our prac.
t1ce. We plant most of our cotton in
four-foot rows; whereas, we used TO
make them four and one-half to five
Feet apart We are leaving two
stalks a hoes width apart; whereas
we used TO thin out our cotton so as
to leave two stalks eighteen inches
apart. We think the plan suggested
Will result in fastening the maturity
OF the crop more than the wider spac.
ing hitherto practiced. This is due
to the fact that a larger number of
plants closer together on the land
takes up the plant food in a shorter
period of time and hence they tend
TO mature more quickly on that ac.
count.
Personally, we would prefer ia
have one stalk of corn eighteen
inches rather than two or three
stalks thirty-siX inches apart. On
the other hand, we doubt if it will

/ Merits Of the O-TOOTan Soy Bean
c.. NJ, Cobbtown. Ga, writes:
T understand that OToo-Tan soy
beans are a good land builder
aad also make a good hay. Can
they be planted after tobacco
and make good hay?
The O-Too-Tan soy bean requires
long season in which to develop
more so than many other. varieties
you might plant. Naturally, in
south Georgia, they would mature
without difficulty. There is some
FNuestion in our mind, however, as
to how we'll they will do in north
Georgia when planted after this
date. We are satisfied they will
make a good hay crop, but we rath
er doubt if they will produce a good
yield of grain.
We believe you will find the
Laredo soy bean to be the best va
riety to plant under the circum
stances. 1t natures in a shorter
period of time and yields about the
same amount of hay as you can
hope to obtain from the O-Too.Tar
and q larger yield Of grain than we
have obtained ordinarily from this
variety. Personally, we would not
hesitate to plant this crop after to
bacco. Where this crop is removed
| the land is usually clean and friable
and there is d good residue Of fertil
izer, which should be readily avaiia

Dear Children: A girl friend OF
mine had the wonderful experience
of going up in an airplane the other
day.
In the morning she had gone by
car and launch through the ship
yards of the town in which she was
visiting. In the afternoon friends
put her in charge of a pilot whom
they knew well, and she started on
this first trip IN an airship, and went
over this same ship yard.
She says that they rose slowly and
smoothly from the ground, never a
jar or shake, went through banks of
fleecy white clouds and as high as
$500 feet in the forty-five minutes
that they were up. She says that
had she had pencil and paper with
her she could have written a note
with far more ease than she has writ
ten on, a train, and that even in COM
ing down she had none of the sink
ing sensation she feared and no
jolting when she landed 1t has
made me wish to go up and take pic
lures and write stories of the clouds
for you to read. Some day I may be
lucky enough to strike such q splen-
did, careful pilot, and when L do you
shall have that story.
