Fertilization and Cultivation of Com and Cotton By C. B. Williams Corn. (.'ulture.—It unquestionably pays well to thoroughly break and har row land for corn, using a two-horse plow and running it eight to ten inches deep, and afterwards harrow ing with large smoothing harrow, puts the land in nice condition. It is also well to run a small-tooth har row or weeder across corn rows about the time the plants are com ing up, and even after they are sev eral inches high, slanting the teeth of the harrow backward. Harrow ing in this way saves after-cultiva tion, and is a quick and comparative ly inexpensive way of getting over the land. The land being thorough ly broken before the corn is put in the ground, only shallow, level cul tivation with some one of the consid erable number of good cultivators need be given the crop during the growing season. The one-horse culti vator cover corn rows in 2 or 3 fur rows, and the two-horse ones at a single trip. The cultivations should be frequent—about every ten to twelve days—and. if possible, just after rains, so as to break any crust formed by showers, leaving a dust mulch to retard the loss of moisture added to the soil by previous rains. Toward the end of the growing sea son the cultivators should only be run one to one and a half inches deep, so as to disturb as little as possible the roots of the plants, which, by that time, are well into the middle of the rows. Fertilizers for Corn.—The experi mental fertilizer work on the sand and sandy loam soils of the eastern, on the clay and sandy clay soils of the Piedmont and on the loam and silty soils of the mountain sections of the State during the past ten or twelve years have progressed far enough, we feel, especially on the Coastal Plain and Piedmont soils to draw some conclusions in reference to the best proportions and amounts of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot ash to use for corn. Below are given formulas for the average unimprov ed sandy and sandy loam soils of the east and for the clay and clay loam soils in fair condition of the Piedmont section.

(To be continued next week.) OAKDALE LOCAL, No. 1003. Dear Editor:—I want to say a few words that may be of interest to some of our Local Unions. On Wed nesday, 12th, Bro. J. R. Rives, our State Business Agent, came out to see our little Local and made us a fine talk about being organized and co-operating one with another in a way that will give us power in what ever we undertake. We all got in spired over what he told us, and at our last meeting we made arrange ments to establish another Trade Agent, whose business it is to look up markets for our chickens and eggs and to take orders and ship out same and conduct a regular trade for that part of the business of the Union. We also have another Busi ness Agent who attends to the buying of our guano, kerosene oil, spindle oil, sugar, fish, and all such things as the farmer needs. Our Local is small in number, but Our Local is small in number, but they are waking up to see that they have been sleeping all these days like the balance of the farmers, while the middlemen have been carrying all the profits of the farmers off and using it for themselves. I am glad the time has come when the farmer is looking out of the sleepy past into a bright future. Our Coupty Union met Sat urday, 22nd of February, and M. C. Spoon and the writer were appoint ed delegates to represent our Local. I think all the Locals should be rep resented, and not only that, but something should be done to effect some economical way of buying and selling. We are tired of the present way of doing businessj and if we, as a people, ever expect to do anything for ourselves and our children, we will have to change from the way w- have been doing. Educational ». Co-operative Union is the only p*. that can be. All other classes Vr.' co-operating. I can think of ot two classes of people who are i. organized: the farmers and tho. who are in the asylum. W. L. HUDSON. Hartshorn, N. C. BETHANY (TENN.) LOCAL, No. 1281. Dear Editor: Our Local was or ganized January 1, 1912, with only seven members, and we now have one hundred, so you see we are in a prosperous condition. We have near ly completed our two-story building. The first fioor is to be'used for a co operative store and the second to be used for a hall. We are progres sive and are working to complete the work. The county will soon be or ganized. Our County Union meets once a month at the court-house in Greenville. We are looking out for a County Business Agent. We are in terested in the work and are hoping to accomplish some good in the fu ture. I am interested in The Caro lina Union Farmer. It is a lesson to all readers. W. M. TARLTON. HOW ARE yOt’R NERVES? Nervousness is often merely an indication that the body Is out of tone, and entirely disappears when this fault is corrected.
