Fertilization and Cultivation
of Corn and Cotton
By C. B. WilUams
Cottonseed and Nitrate of Soda.—
The remarks under corn regarding
these two fertilizing materials apply
also to cotton, as do the suggestions
concerning the change in the quant
ity of nitrogen-supplying materials in
the formulas, should cotton follow
peas or any other leguminous crop.
In Formula No. 3 one-fourth of the
nitrogen is supplied by nitrate of so
da, with the view of giving the crop
a quick start, and in No. 2 one-half
of the nitrogen comes from this
source.
On light lands it will be good
practice to omit this nitrate from
the mixture and apply it as a side
dressing about the middle of June.
Good results come from the use of it
in this way on heavy types of land.
Where land does not produce a good
stalk of cotton and fertilizers are
used which contain only a moderate
amount of nitrogen or ammonia,
good results are obtained from a
side-dressing of 50 to 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda per acre. The nitrate
should be distributed along one side
of the row, or where there is a ridge
in the middle it may be put on this,
and when the ridge is thrown out
the nitrate will be thrown on two
sides of the row.
Application of Fertilizer to Cotton.
—The fertilizer should be applied in
the drill at or just before planting.
The quantity used for cotton varies
from 200 to 1,000 pounds or more
per acre; 500 to 800 pounds are the
common quantities used of the grade
of Formula No. 1. Some of the mix
tures in this Bulletin are much more
concentrated than No. 1, and when
they are used the quantity may be re
duced proportionately.
Fertilizers for Tobacco.
There are few products whose
quality and quantity are more af
fected by the kind of soil and fertil
izer used than is tobacco. For bright
tobacco, the main kind grown in this
State, the fine and deep sandy loam
with yellow-colored sandy clay sub
soil is the type of land most largely
used and the one which grows the
best grade of this character of tobac
co. Generally, the kind of soil that
is suited to the production of tobacco
is better understood than the fertil
izer that should be used on it. A
study of the experiments in tobacco
growing and a consideration of the
experiences of good tobacco growers
show that the amounts of ammonia
and potash in the average tobacco
fertilizers, as a general rule, are not
as large as are needed to give best
results. A considerable number of
growers either mix their own tobac
co fertilizers or else have them put
up according to formulas of their
suggestion. Below are given eight
formulas for mixing fertilizers for to
bacco. The grade of those fertilizers
will be higher and they will, of
course, cost more than the goods
that are generally used in the State
on tobacco, but we feel confident that
the increased yield will more than
justify the additional expense.

A limited quantity of stable ma
nure is very beneficial to tobacco,
and it succeeds well after peanuts.
These materials add ammonia to the
soil, and wljpn heavy applications of
fertilizers are to be made in connec
tion with manure, and on peanut or
clover land, it would be well not to
have so much ammonia in the ferti
lizers as Is used in the ones employed
on land not having other ammoniat-
ed materials put on them. Formulas
Nos. 7 and 8 are designed to meet
causes of this kind. A good many
eastern tobacco growers plant tobac
co after peanuts, and some of them
grow peas between the hills of to
bacco, planting them with hoes and
putting six to ten peas in a place the
latter part of June or early in July.
This Improves the soil for after-crops,
but tobacco grown after tobacco and
peas is said not to be of good qual
ity, though, as would be expected,
the growth is very large.
Good results will come from the
use of high-grade fertilizers, such as
are suggested above, or similar ones,
and we believe that when once tried
there will be no inclination to go
back to the lower grade ones now so
largely used.
The bill of the goose is provided
with sharp, interlocking, serrated
edges, designed to easily cut and di
vide vegetable tissues. The tongue
at the tip is covered with hard, hair
like projections pointing towards
the throat, which serve to quickly
and surely convey the bit of grass
and leaves into the throat.
