Effects of A pplying Commercial Fer
tilizers to Corn and Cotton by •.
Different Method*.
The best method to follow in ap
plying commercial* fertilizers to
crops will largely depend upon the
character of the soil, the materials
to be used, and the crops that are
to be grown. A method that
would give the best results with
any particular crop on a clay soil
for instance,- may be to a consid
erable degree an irrational one to
be followed by the farmer
soil is of an open sandy nature*
the one best suited for wheat may
not yield the best results with
corn, cotton or tobacco; and gen
eral directions for applying cotton
seed meal, dried blood, and simi
lar organic nitrogenous materials,
can not always be followed in the
use of substances like nitrate of
soda or sulphate of ammonia to
best advantage. It should be re
membered that generally the best
method to follow with any soil is
the one that will result in (he
plants securing the maximum
amount and thereby reduce to a
minimum the loss of plant food
liom the soil. Generally, there is
not with the average soil of the
State much danger of loss of phos
phoric acid and potash, but there
is always consideraole liability 01
the aVailaole nitrogen being leach
ed out of the soil if growing
plants are not present at the time
the application is made, especially
so if the quantity is large, to take
it up as soon as It is brought into
solution in the soil water. - For
this reason every effort should be
exerted to conserve this valuable
plant food constituent by keep
ing plants growing on the land
most all the time, for that natu
rully in the soil is in an available
form and is just as subject to loss.
When phosphoric acid and potash
are added to the soil, they become
fairly well fixed in tjie soil by the
clay and humus, but with tne ni
trogen there is no such fixation.
When nitrate of soda or suipnate
ammonia, the most available lorms
of nitrogen, are added to the soil
there is always considerable dan
ger of loss, especially so if large
quantities are used, and the soil is
of an open sandy nature.
Because of the importance of
knowing the best method to use
in applying dilferent fertilizing
materials, particularly the organic
and mineral forms of nitrogen, we
tand field experiment in different
parts of the State on different
types of soil several years ago to
work those different points.
Chiefly up to this time cotton and
corn have been used in these stud
ies which have been carried on for
nine years on the sandy clay soils
ot the Irfedelt Test Farm, on the
clay soil of the Experiment Station
Farm, and on the fine sandy loam
soild of the Edgecomb Test farm.
The fertilizing materials used in
the experimentfa have been acid
phosphate, kainit, or manure salt,
dried blood or cotton-seed meal
and nitrate ot soda. The normal
application for cotton had consist
ed of 400 pounds of a mixture an
alyzing 7 per cent. available
phosphoric acid, 2.5 per cent .nitro
gen, and 2.6 per cent, of potash;
and for corn 300 pounds per acre
of a mixture containing 7 per
cent, available phosphoric acid, 3
per cent, nitrogen, and 1% per
cent, potash. i
BROADCAST DRILL APPLICA-
With both corn and cotton, and
with the* amounts of fertilizers
used, it has been found on an av
erage in all the experiments that
the fertilizer applied in the drill
at planting about an inch below
the seed has given better results
than when applied broadcast at
planting. From our observations
and experience in other experi
ments, we would expect that were
the applications increased three to
four times that in most cases, es
pecially on the closer natur.ed soils
the broadcast applications would
give better results than where
such heavy applications were made
in the drill at planting. At the'
Experiment Stattion Farm, in
putting the fertiliser in the drill
at planting In the ordinary way
at planting in the ordinary way,
com produced on an average of
1.4 bushels of grain and 242 pounds
of stover, and cotton 147 pounds
seed cotton more per acre than
where the fertiliser was applied
broadcast at planting and har
harrowed into the soil. At the
Edgecombe and Iredell farms the
average increases were respective
ly, for corn 1.7 and 1.2 bushela of
grain, and 135 and 42 pounds of
stover; and for cotton II and 31}
pounds of seed cotton per acre.
DEEP vs. ORDIVAftY DEPTH OF
APPLICATION OF
FERTILIZER.
At the Experiment Station Farm,
the only plae« at which thia com
parison has been carried oat, it
was found ob an average applying
the fertiliser about three times as
deep beneath the seed aa Is done
ordinarily that with the quanti
ties of fertilisers used with cotton
the deep applications did better
than where the fertiliser was put
in broadcast, but did not fire as
good results as when spplied at
the ordinary depth in the rowa
at planting. With corn, at thia
tarm, the results averaged the
same from deep and from the or
dinary depth of applying the ferti
lizer.

EFFECT OF DIVIDING THE
WHOLE APPLICATION.
The result with corn at all three
farms Indicate that there is no ad
vantage in dividing the applica
tions, putting on half at planting,
reserving and applying the other
half as a side dressing about
•July 1, in fact the results seem
to indicate on an average a
slightly reduced yield by divid
ing the application, especially at
the Edgecomb and Iredell farms.
With cotton grown on the clay
loam soils of the Experiment Sta
tion and Iredell Farms, there was
a considerable reduction in the
yield of seed cotton per sere,' es
pecially at the latter farm, result
ing the fertilizer application into
two, making one kt planting in the
row, and putting the other on
about the first of July. On the
fine sandy loam soil of the Edge
comb Farm, cotton produced
slightly more seed cotton on sn
average where the application was
divided, and made half at planting
and half about July Ist, than when
the whole went in the row at
planting.
DIVIDING THE NITROGEN AP
PLICATION.
At the Experiment Station and
Iredell Farms, with cotton beat re-
Hults were secured by using dried
blood or cotton seed meal and ap
plying it all in the row at thp time
ot planting in the row with car
riers of phosphoric acid and pot
ash. At the Edgecomb the highest
yield of seed cotton on an average
was secured where half of the ni
trogen as dried blood was supplied
in the row at planting with the
phosphoric acid and potasii and
the remaining half of the nitrogen
application reaerved and made aa
a side dressing in the form of ni
trate of Boda about July Ist. With
corn at the Edgecomb Farm divid
ing the blood application and ap
plying half in the row at plant
ing of the corn and adding the
other half as a side dressing
produced better results than ap
plying all the blood at planting,
or half of nitrogen as blood at the
planting and the other half as ni
trate of soda as a side applica
tion, or all nitrogen in the form
of nitrate, half at planting with
with phosphoric acid and potash
and other half ,as aide application
about July Ist. At the Eperiment
Station Farm with corn, best re
sults were secured where half ot
the nitrogen as blood was applied
with the potassic and phosphatic
materials at planting and the oth
er half of nitrogen of
soda was used about July Ist., and
where all the nitrogen was sup
plied by nitrate of soda, half be
ing applied at planting- with other
materials, and half later as a side
dressing alongside the At
the Iredell farm dividing the
blood application or substituting
nitrate in part or in whole for the
blood and dividing the application
of the nitrate of soda, did not pro
duce as large yield as was secur
ed where all the nitrogen as blood
was apllied with the phosphoric
acid and potash at planting, or
where the whole application—blood
being the carrier of nitrogen—was
divided, half being applied at
planting in row and other half
being put on as side dressing
dbout the first of July.
SOIL HAS AN EFFECT.
Upon clay soils. or any other
soils which are fairly close textur
ed and hav» good retentive d:iy
SJV villa, it will be usually found
adAiiable v.ith general farm crop
to make the entire fertilizer ap
plication at or Just before plant
ing; while on soils that are
of an open and sandy nature It
will generally be found best, espe
cially to divide the nitrogen ap
plication, using the first one from
an* organic source like cottonseed
meal or dried blood, and the sec
ond one from a mineral source
like nitrate of soda or sulphate of
ammonia, when the plants are one
third to one-half grown. With
cotton and with corn in this State
planted on very coarse sandy soil
—like Norfolk sand—an extensive
type found in the eastern and
southeastern sections ol the State
'it has generally been found most
profitable to put but little, If any,
fertilizer in at planting, but re
serve and put most material on af
ter the plants are well started.
This is due to the fact that such
soils are so open and leachy that
much of the fertilising constitu
ents, especially the nitrogen, miy
be lost, If it is not applied to the
growing plants. In fertilizing
wheat and other small grain it has
generally been found that - where
the small grain has been sown In
the fall It Is generally vis* to add
all the phosphoric acid and potash
with one-third to one-half of the
nitrogen in organic
such a* cottonseed meal, dried
blood, fish scrap or tankage, at
planting, reserving the remainder
of the application of nitrogen to

be added in the form of nitrate of
soda or sulphate of ammonia as •
side dressing In the spring Just ss
as the stems begin to shoot up for
the formation of seed heads.
With ordinary field crops it will
genearlly be found best to have
most of the nitrogen derived trom
organic sources wh.en It is to be
applied at planting, and to u»c the
more soluble forms like nitrate of
aoda or sulphate of ammonia as a
side dressing. For quick growing
and high selling market garden
crops, nitrate of soda c!an be used
more liberally at planting and also
throughoijt the growing season
with more profitable results than
it could on slow growing crops
like corn, wheat and cotton.

Smoking.
Insurance.
| Does smoking make people ut
terly reckless about the safety of
property and life in respect to fire
or does the smoking habit appeal
especially to. heedless persons? We
cannot assume to say, but the typ
ical smoker scratches his match
and drops It anywhere and any
how, without so much as troubling
to Extinguish It first; he is done
with the match, and that auffices
j him. Sometimes it falls in the
| wastebasket and aets that off;
: sometimes on the coverings of his
1 bed, and give* him a little tfxeite
' meat; sometimes be tosses it ont
1 of the window, and it starts off
Inn awning below; sometimes he
I drops It on a woman and burns
her out of existence, aa befell one
! hapless votary of the habit of
! seeing out the old year by eating
| and drinking foo3 that one does
not need in a fashionable restau
rant; sometimes it starts off an
■ Asche building or a Kinghampton
| clothing shop. The careless smok
er keeps his habit of match-drop
ping with him, as exemplified by
case of a chap in Montreal who
wanted a pair of scissors In a
store In the dark. He scratched
his, match, caught sight of the
scissors, tossed the match, and it
dropped in an open can of gaso
line, much to his subsequent inter
est with the insurance company,
whose agent had sent to the
owner of the atore an unsolicited
policy for , approval.
Fire Prevention Convention R«solu-
At the last session of the Fire
Prevention Convention, held at
Philadelphia last week, a reso
lution was adopted advocating the
enactment of strict National and
State insurance laws relative to
the licensing of agents, brokers
adjusters and the use of a plain
er phraseology In Insurance poli
cies.
The rf solution is as -follows
1. The several state*, territories,
and provinces should not only as
sure that permissible (ire Insur
ance is stable financially, but that
form of contract should be clear,
brief, explicit, and sound as possi
ble, and as nearly as may be uni
form in form and substance In all
these jurisdictions—to the end that
all such polllcles permitted to Is
sue throughout the cpuntry may
equally and adequately protect all
citizens, including the careless, ig
norant and inexperienced; and,
t. Bald Jurisdiction should as
nearly as possible adopt uniform
regulations governing:
1. Issuance of fire policies on
property as to amount and condi
ditions, and to the end that only
reasonable insurance will be per
mitted on property, thus discour
*!• arson; and that only men of
sound character will be permitted
to the business of writing fire In
surance. and adjusting fire losses,
thus discouraging complicity with
fraudulent loaees.

HUMOR IS FOUND

i ' '
Desire to Draw Trade Crept Out
in Unexpected Places and
at Oddjlmes.
Undoubtedly a real genius is respon

takes a rich man to draw a cheek, a
pretty girl to draw attention, a horse
Is draw a cart, a mustard plaster to
draw the skin, a toper to draw a oork.
a free laaeh to day a crowd, and an
advertisement to draw trade.
It Is along this latter line, for tho
purpose of drawing trade, that a news
paper exclusively tor beggars Is pub
lished la Parte. Its enlamna are filled
with notices of funerals, baptisms,
weddings aad other sootel aad pa bile
•vents calculated to guarantee gen
erous responsss to pathetic appeals
from the beggars who, thus apprised,
flock to the soene of tho functions,
night or day.
A choice earn pie of humor In adver
tising Is tofalaksd fey the aotlos at
HholqUod of ft Hantroof iMfttaooft
venture between two genUsmen of
1 eolor la the couth. The following boa
not tor Itissrtloa to the local paper
was psaail fey the survivor of tho
wreak.
"De uopai fhwslilp ksrstofars re

A Canadian Arm wsat this one feat'
tar. The senior partnsr having paae

-1 ates erected a monument to his mem
ory. The tombstone bore these words:
I "Hsre lias Abram Btofcsa, touader of

pickles sad bottled traits. Bsst of
all aad wtthoot a rival"
Ftor her Into husband a grief strick
