AMPLE SEED NEEDED
FOR HIGH COTTON YIELD

Lack of stand causes a greater loss
in yield per acre than any other factor
in cotton production. This impressive
fact is brought out in a study of the re-
suits of the five-acre cotton contests con-
Quoted for several years in South Caro-
lima and other Southern states. Expert
mental results bear out the conclusion.
On the basis of contest and research
records the following suggestions seem
worth consideration by cotton farmers:
I. High average yields cannot be
made unless there is regular stand of
plants spaced comparatively close in the
drill in close or narrow rows. Only on
exceptionally fertile land should rows be
more than az inches wide; on most cot
ton lands SO inches should be the maxi
mum width of row.
2. The seedbed should be thoroughly
pulverized and we'll settled before cotton
is planted, for retention of moisture and
firm footing of roots.
3. At least six pecks of we'll bred seed
of tested termination power should be
used per acre, and the stand should be
thinned to not less than one and two
stalks every eight to ten inches. 1t must
be remembered also that the narrower
the rows the more seed are required
to plant an acre.
Although the cost of seed is only
small item in the total cost of produc-
ton of crop, far too often farmer
will attempt to secure good stand from
the use of too few seed, forgetting it
costs just as much to fertilize and cult
vate poor stand as a good stand, for
getting, too, that thin seeding often
causes a poor distribution of seed along
the row and poor stand, reduced yields,
and lower returns. 1t is better to "chop
out" many surplus plants than to close
out" in low returns.

What Fertilizers for Tobacco?
Southeastern Research Committee Summarizes Official
Recommendations
BY A. 3. BRYAN

here are SO many variations in the
soil types and soil fertility it is difficult
to say definitely that one fertilizer or
one analysis is better for any particular
field or farm; however, there are certain
general recommendations that can be
followed with minor variations to suit
certain local conditions.
For instance, the committee of agron-
olnists who are working with tobacco in
the hue-cured area, have made the fol-
lowing recommendations:
For light or less productive soils
800 to 1000 lbs. per acre-3-8-6 mix
ture.
For heavy or more productive soils
100 to 500 lbs. per acre-3-IO-6 mix
ture.
The method of application is more
important than many growers realize.
1t is essential that the fertilizer be we'll
mixed with the soil.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-03-04
By DAVID r. COKER

Y ASED on many years of experience
~ and observation | can state without
qualification that very many failures to
secure stands of cotton are due to plant
ing the seed in or Immediately over the
fertilizer. During certain seasons, gen
orally those during which the spring
rainfall is light, the seed are frequently
killed or the young tap root damaged
or destroyed by the strong fertilizer
salts. Experiments at the Florence Ex-
pertinent Station indicate that the fer
tilizer should be placed on both sides of
the row of seed several inches away
from the seed and several inches below
the seed.
Where the farmer does not have dis
tributor which will place his fertilizer
in this way, he should run plow in the
furrow behind the fertilizer distributor
and thoroughly mix the fertilizer with
a mass of soil before it is covered by the
bedding burrows. This is an extremely
important matter. | have often seen seed

W cured tobacco and how much per
acre should be used? This important
question is answered by the Southeastern
L obacco Research Committee which has
made recommendation for fluc-cured to-
bacco grown OH typical bright tobacco
soil III Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Georgia.
For heaa'y or more productive soils
Three per cent total nitrogen, 10 per
cent available phosphoric acid, and six
per cent potash. To be applied at rates
of 100 to 500 pounds to the acre.
For light or less productive soils
Three per cent total nitrogen, per cent
available phosphorc acid, and 6 per
cent potash. To be applied 500 to 1000
pound to acre.
Where high topping is practiced and
heavy yields are expected, potash con-
tent may be profitably increased to 8
to 10 per cent.
The above analyses may be modified.
provided given ratios are maintained and
recommended sources of plant food used.
Plant Food Sources
One-third of the nitrogen should be
derived from high grade organic mate
rials of plant or animal origin; one-third
from materials supplying nitrogen in the
nitrate form; and one-third from urea
and/or standard inorganic sources of nj
trogen.
Phosphoric acid should be derived
from superphosphate, double superphos-
phate, and/or dicalcium phosphate.
Potash should be derived from any
source of available potash, provided the
chlorine content of the mixed fertilizers
does not exceed per cent. 1t tobacco
by-products are used as source, these
must be sterilized to kill organisms
which might be present that cause dis
eases.
It is recommended that fertilizers
carry 2 per cent magneSla.
Chlorine important
Available experimental data shows
that small quantity of chlorine in the
tobacco fertilizer increases the acre value
of the crop. Excessive chlorine in fertll-
izers Injuries it's growth and reduces
quality. 1t is recommended that tertll-
izers be compounded in such proportions
that fertilizer mixtures shall contain
per cent chlorine.
Maturity is delayed and the color OF
the cured leaves has tendency to De
red when large quantities OF sulfur are
included in the fertilizer mixtures, SO 1t
is suggested that fertilizers be formu-
lated to contain minimum quantity OF
sulfur. Tobacco fertilizers should carry
IN an available form minimum OF 3 per
cent of calcium oxide equivalent.
If non-acid fertilizers are to be pro-
duced. the neutralizing agent should be
dolomitic limestone.

COTTON HEADS
DOWNWARD

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 GN.S).
Dealers continued to discount the
cotton list, on the basis of yester-
days estimate, prices declining in
forenoon dealings.
The principal sellers were the
South, spot houses, New Orleans,
and brokers with continental ac-
counts. Trade interests were the
important buyers, particularly on
the downscale. This type buying
tended to check too drastic de-
cline.
Yesterdays hectic liquidation
carried over into this mornings
dealings, as traders felt that
further discounting was necessary
in view of the Governments sur
prisingly high estimate.

STOCKS REGAIN
EQUILIBRIUM
AFTER DROP
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 G.N.S).
The stock market recovered it's
equilibrium shortly before noon
today, after early selling had
brought a general reaction, and
the list took on an irregularly
higher appearance.
Trading, which had sent the
ticker behind earlier, slowed down
somewhat as selling dwindled.
Aviations, silvers, oils and utili-
ties led the recovery movement,
which cut down losses in the
general list and carried many is
sues above previous closings. Mo-
tors and Steels, though, con-
tinued easier.
U. S. Smelling added more
than points to yesterdays
runup of 612. Cerro de Pasco
also hit a new top on jump
Of better than 3 points.
Softness in motors came in the
face of General Motors liberal

United Aircraft and Boeing ad-
vanced a point each. Oils and

improved. Steels showed frac-
tional losses.
