De partment of Agriculture, ln the Vlrjlnla Carplina, Fertiliser Almanac. we know that some crops will bear larger amounts of fertilisers with reason able assurance of profitable returns than may be expected of other soils. A crop that occupies the soil from the fall season until spring, or early summer, will bear heavier fertilising than will a crop that luuiira in ine spring ana npena for harvest In midsummer. The first case Is Illustrated by oats, wheat, or other small grain, or grass, especially when sown ln the fall of the year. Such a crop occu pies the soil during the late fall and win ter, and early spring during which pe riods the rains are usually abundant ripening for harvest In late spring, or very early summer, before the burning summer heat and possible drouths of June and July. Oats and wheat herefore are Ideal crops for liberal fertilising. Corn Is rather an uncertain crop on the ordinary dry uplands of the South. It has but a short period ln which to devel op Its flowers tassels And silks cover ing but a few days. If very dry weather shall prevail when this critical period is upirutiuxiiiiK, ana ror some time alter It Is passed, the crops may prove a greater or less failure. There can be no second enort, no second period of bloomine. It Is different in the case of cotton. wnicn commences to bloom and make fruit In June (or even earlier) and con tinues tnrougnout the summer until cnecKea Dy a severe rrost In November. It has a number of "ehanren Cotton is therefore another Ideal crop for liberal fertilizing. A small amount of fertilisers applied per acre will no uuuoi yieia a larger percentage profit on Its cost than will a larger amount. Tp Illustrate: An application of 2 worth of fertilizer per acre may cause an In creased yield of cotton (at 10 cents ner Pound) of the value of M to 8, or a profit of 200 to 300 per cent, on its cost. I have frequently had such results. But it does not follow that twice as heavy an apphV cation will produce twice as large re sults, or that three times as much would cause three times as great an Increase ln the yield. In other words, the rate of Increase ln the yield of cotton will not be In proportion to the Increase in the amount of fertilisers applied. Two dollars' worth of fertilizer per acre may yield an Increase In the crop of $6; but 16 worth would not therefore bring an Increase of $18. But careful observation has shown that an application of $S to $6 worth of fertil izers (properly balanced) is a safe amount to apply per acre on cotton. Many farm ers ln Georgia have secured satisfactory returns from an application of so much as 80f -rounds per acre, I think 600 pounds a perfectly sare limit on upland In fairly good condition, well prepared and properly cultivated In cot ton For corn, I would limit the amount to200 to 100 pounds per acre on old up- 1j vstf e'e t b)e oi Prop erty.
