Fertilizer Recommendations for
Cotton.
AT a recent coordinating cou-
rcil meeting of all agricultural
workers of the county and at a
farmers club meeting, with a
number of successful farmers
over the county, we believe
rom past experiences that the
best cotton ferluZer recon-
mendation generally in the hill
section of Holmes County would
be a fertilizer carrying 60 units
Of potash per acre. For an ex-
ample 500 pounds of a II II
II fertilizer per acre would give
you so units of nitrogen, go units
of phosphate and so units of
potash per acre.
A farmer having good equip
ment and can carry out a good
insect control program may
want to increase his amount of
fertilizer possibly Is percent
more than we have recommend
ed. On the other hand a farmer
having to depend upon made
quate poisoning equipment
would probably do better by
cutting the fertilizer recon-
mendationS about 20 or IS per-
cent.
Certainly your insecticide
program and fertilizer program
will go hand in hand. The
more fertilizer you use the bet
ter insect control program you
are going to have to carry out.
Everyone should plan on fer
tilizing and poisoning to make
at least a bale or more of cot
ton per acre. If you do not be-
lieve you can make a belle or
more cotton per acre it would
possible be better for you to
rent your cotton acres to some
one else.

ton of Holmes County as a

EXTRA COTTON r

Can you use some extra cot
ton acres this year? If so, you
have only until March 1 to ask
for them in writing at your
county A. S. C. office. You
can't be sure then of getting
them, but you surely won't if
you let the end of February go
by without making an applica-
ton.
It's wise anyway to make
crop plans this early. Then
you can go anead and make
the right arrangements for
such things as finances, mach
inery, labor, chemicals and
fertilizers.
March 16 is the deadline for
deciding whether to put your
cotton under Plan B. go percent
of parity loan and a 40 percent
increase in acreage over your
A Allotment.
If you have a larger allotmen
than you plan to plant, you have
until April 1 to release acres.
Do this by visiting your county
A. S. C. office.
If you plant or release at
least rs percent of your allot-
ment, your acreage history is
preserved. But if you fail to
do either, you lose so percent

START FLOWERS INDOORS

Lots of flower growers plant
their flower seeds in seed boves,
just as home gardeners do
their tomato, eggplant and pep
per seeds.
Some of the reasons they do
this is to be sure they have
soil well suited for germinat-
ing seed. They can be sure the
boxes are near a water supply.
They can move them to shade
when the sun is too hot and to
the sun in cool weather.
Then when planting time
comes, they have plants all
ready to set in the garden or
flower beds. They can space
as they want them, without
having to lose plants by thin
ming.
Before you try this, be sure
the flower will like transplant
ing. Some flowers as California
poppy, luplin, nasturtium, por.
tulaca should be planted out.

CORN

We are having a number of
people to call in for recon-
mendations as to the variety of
corn to be planted in Holmes
County.
The following are the varie-
ties recommended by the ex-
pertinent station for this area.
White Corn : Coker Gil, Dixie
IS, Funks 7S5-W, Pfister (pag)
653-W. Yellow Corn Dixie %,
Dixie18, Dixie % General Jack
son, Funks G-730 and Pfister
(pag} 487. These are all of the
hybrid corn that is recommend
ed in this area.
We realize there will be other
hybrid varieties and new var
ieties on the market, but the
corn mentioned above is adj
apted for this area. It would be
well to stay with a variety re-
commended for the area in
which you live.
1t is doubtful if I would plant
hybrid corn unless / planted
on good land, and using plenty
of fertilizer. On ordinary land
with small amounts of fertili-
ger your open pollinated corn
would possibly do just as well.
But on good land with recon-
mended amounts of fertilizer
you can make more corn by
using a recommended hybrid
variety.
