Right Fertilizers Must Be
Used For Growing
Vegetable Crops

There is no question Of greater
importance to growers OF vegetable
crops today than that of quality
according to r. o. Mpnosnith, ex
tension horticulturist Of Mississippi
State College, who says hat ito Salts
fly the market demand for quality
products and at the same time pro
duce satisfactory yields is not an
Easy matter. 1t is equally important
that producers know that quality as
well as quantity of these crops Is
profoundly influenced by the kind
and amount of plant food available"
he adds.
Although It is recognized that at
least 10 elements Of plant food are
essential to the development of any
crop, all three are usually presen.
In the soil, air or water, in sufficient
amounts for the needs of crops. The
three elements present in soils but
quite frequently in insufficient guam
tiles are nitrogen. phosphoric acid,
and potash. A deficiency of any
one Of these elements may seriously
affect yield, quality. or both, and
result in greatly reduced profits.
OF the three essential plant foods,
nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, each
are of great importance in plant
growth, each having a definite func-
lion to perform. 1t is, therefore, i'm
portant that they be balanced for
most satisfactory results. Too much
nitrogen without sufficient emounts
Of phosphorus and potash may cause
q softening Of the tissues which re-
suits in deterioration in shipping.
Phosporio acid favors rapid develop
ment of young seedlings, increases
root development, and promotes ear
~ maturity. When phosphorus lie
deficient in plants. the stems turn 3
reddish-purple color.
Potash is essential for the forma-
ton Of starch, sugar, and cellulose.
and other carbohydrates in the plant,
and If it Is deficient the plants are
likely to have weak, brittle stems,
and the fruit produced is likely to
lack the firmness desired for ship
ping. 1t improves the flavor and
color Of fruits, and gives quality and
crispness to leafy vegetables. Pot
q deficiency is recognized by the
following of leaves between the viens
and along the leaf margins. Later
the leaves may turn brown, curl up,
and drop off.
The symptoms Of nitrogen deficien-
cy is a yenowish green color in the
leaf structure, the lighter green &C.
curing most abundantly in the tip
of growing tissue. In some cases
the stems may turn a blush color

The fertilizer analysis best suited
for vegetable crops will depend to
some extent, on the individual crop
requirements, the fertility Of the soil,
and to some extent on the way the
sol has been handled. Different crops
have rather definite nutrient re-
quirements for maximum production
For example, spinach, kale, and
collards have a high nitrogen re
quirement, other peas beans, etc
a high phosphorus requirement, and
still others, beets, carrots, potatoes.
sweet potatoes and tomatoes a high
poash requirement.
Likewise, different soils contain
different amounts Of plant food and
should be treated accordingly. Some
soils are higher than others in avail
able nitrogen, but in general, practi.
cally all Mississippi soils require
reasonable amounts of nitrogen. Hill
soils as a rule respond well to phos-
phorus treatment as we'll as rea.
sonable amounts of potash. Soils
lowest in potash are light soils, sandy
soils and bottoms and second bot
toms. Also, practically all flat tc
slightly rolling soils are found to BIZ
low in available potash.

Our normal planting Of 40 mil
hon acres already has been curtaiied
to "a million. The curtailment already
has adversely affected the economy
of the Cotton Belt and could not have
been achieved without tho expendi
ture Of hundred Of millions of dollars
from the Treasury of the United
States as soil conservation payments,
cotton adjustment payments and cot
ton loans.
Notwithstanding these drastic mea-
sures. the carryover in America
amounted to 1902, 61s bales on last
August /. We believe that through
the reciprocal trade agreements pro-
gram 1t Is possible to develop and
maintain export markets for our sur
plus cotton and cottonseed products.
1.-The abandonment Of the reciprocal
trade agreements program would IN
our judgment, be the equivalent OF
saying to the nations of the world
that the United States is unwilling to
negotiate with them further for the
restoration of normal international
trade. Such an act on our part will
justifiably, we think-be construed by
the other nations as a declaration OF
purpose by the United States to dc
velop ~nationalism to the highest de
gree possible, and to withdraw behind
our excessively high tariff wall from
the commerce of the world. Such &C.
ton on our part would, in our judg
ment, constitute an open invitation t
all the other nations of the world to
do likewise. The effect would be
further disastrous decrease and para
lysis OF all trade between nations"

Cotton Council Urges
Trade Agreements

Memphis, Tenn, February IMore
than 5000 committeeman Of the Ma
tional Cotton Council in the 10 cot
ton producing states, under leader
ship of Oscar Johnston, president OF
the organization. today joined in the
fight for Secretary of State Cordeli
Hun's reciprocal trade agreements
program.
In a statement launching activity
in behalf of the trade agreements
program by local committees in 752
counties, Mr.. Johnston declared that
continuance of the reciprocal trade
agreements program Is our greatest
immediate hope for solving cotton's
all-important foreign trade problem"
The Cotton Belt, more than any sec
ton of the United States, must have
foreign trade, Mr. JOHNSTON pointed
out. The economic life ;" he said,
of one third of the farm population
of the United States, embracing more
than one-thtrd Of the total area OF
the nation. depends upon the devel
opment and maintenance of export
markets for cotton and cottonseed pro-
ducts.
If foreign markets are to be de.
ME u cotton industry, 1t necessa-
rily follows that production must be
placed on a purely domestic basis.
This would mean a further curtailment
of cotton acreage, a disastrous dis
placement of labor and a serious dis
turbance Of our national agricultural
economy.
