meats and tests have demonstrated
that for average three per cent of pot
ts!) will not contribute materially to
the actual yield, of corn, therefore he
will he wasting money, if he buys food
for his piuicutiou that the corn plant
does not need or require. It would
be just about as practical au feeding
fodder to hops.
I believ? the farmers cultivating
the land of Mr. O. M. Mull produce
as much cent to the acre as any
fanners in the county, and they use
a frrtilizer containing Approximately
ten to twelve per cent available
phorsphotic arid, and three per cent
to five per cent of nitrogen, applying
from tines hundred to five hundred
pounds per acre and fide dressing
v.-ilh from seventy-five to one hundred
pounds of nitrate of coda when the
corn cominenees to bunch for tassel.
I He hi. s freqently made an average
of fit ty bushels per acre by this
1 method.
We hnve at least two distinct types
I of Foil in Cleveland county, to-wit:
I Red clay loam and sandy loam; these
'soils require different food products.
'It would be unquestionably profitable
:to use a fertilizer containing as much
as three per cent of potash on sandy
loam soils pinned In co'ton, because
this character of land Is naturally
deficient in potash. On the other
hand the red clay loam possesses nat
ural potash. I would suggest for cot
ton on this land the use of some five
hundred to eiuht hundred pounds to
the acre of n mixture containing from
tten per cent to twelve per cent avail
able phosphoric acid, and from three
per cent to four per cent of nitrogen,
S villi no potash, and to be ride dressed
wiih soda in June.
j Again, it has been found that kanit
'is the best source from which to de-
rive potash for cotion because it
'tends to prevent rust. I:i my opin
ion, a great deal of the destruction
'to the cotton plant attributed to red
! spiders Is nothing more nor less than
old-fashioned rust I recommend (he
'purchase, therefore, for sandy loam
land planted in cotton, a mixture of
i fertilizers ronmintng plant food in
the per ( ciiCii 'of 8:3:3 or 8:4:3 pot
ash, to ho supplied to kanit to be used
in quantities from five hundred to
eiirht hundred pounds per acre, and
side dressed with from seventy-five to
lone hundred pounds of nitrate of
soda during the month of June. With
fair season and fair work, the above
applications will produce on the av
erage Cleveland county roil a bale of
cotton to the acre.
Our lands are deficient In two ele
ments, namely nitrogen and phos
phoric acid, and these two food pro
ducts effect the growing plant In en
tirely different respects. The chief
function of nitrogen, commonly call
ed ammonia. Is to produce the frame
work, such as leaves, stems, bolls,
roots, etc., rr.:her than seed and
fruit. That Is to say nitrogen pro
duces the vegetable part of the plant

as to be able to bear and retain 'nPji5
