Is It Too Late for Vetch and Oats?
Messrs. Editors: Let me know if
it will be too late to sow winter
vetch and oats for hogs next sum
mer, if I can get them in by the
middle of October. Will rust-proof
oats do? The land was planted in
corn this year, will make 25 or
SO bushels per acre. The land is
flat, piney wood land, and well
drained. J. B. SPEIGHT.
Pitt Co., N. C. ;
(Answer by T. B. Parker.)
It will not be too late, with an
ordinary winter, to sow winter oats
and vetch in your section as late asl
the middle of October. But I woiild
prefer to sow some winter oat. The
Red Rust Proof oat does not stand
cold weather as well as the Virginia
Winter oat.
Mixing Fertilizer for Wheat.
- Messrs. Editors: I want to mix
my fertilizer' this fall for wheat,
using 16 per cent phosphate, cotton
seed meal, and kainit. I want the
mixture to analyze not less than 8
per cent phosphoric acid; 4 per cent
nitrogen, and 5 per cent potash.
Please state what quantity to. use of
each so as to make 2,000 pounds.
Would the mixture improve by
standing a few weeks?
J. A. CAUDLE.
Stanly Co., N. C.
(Answer by T. B. ParkerO -
It-is impossible to make a mixture
analyzing 8-4-5 from 16 per cent
acid phosphate, cottonseed meal and
kainit. The nearest approach would
be 1,000 pounds acid phosphate, 400
pounds cottonseed meal, and 600
pounds kainit. This mixture would
analyze about 8 per cent phosphoric
acid, 1 per cent ammonia, and 4
per cent potash.
On gray land this mixture ought
to give good results. If the soil is
red clay would advise mixing as
follows: 1,200 pounds acid phos
phate, 400 cottonseed meal and 400
kainit. This because red land is sup
posed to contain more potash than
gray land has.
It would not be economy to use
per cent nitrogen at the time of
sotwinir wheat. Better use a less
quantity then and apply nitrate of
soda in the spring just as the plant
begins to boot.
The mixture will not improve by
standing. ' Better to, sow as soon as
mixed.
New Trial Subscribers May Pay Sub
scriptions by Getting Others.
Messrs. Editors: A friend has
handed .me "one of your papers, and
I see you offer to send it till Jan
uary 1st for 15 cents. Enclosed find
15 cents for which please send it
to me.
Also I should like to know if for
each subscription you will credit me
a month, and will I be considered
in the prize list if I send most names
in one day? Let me hear from you
by return mail. I think I can get
you several 15-cent subscribers.
L. W. BARDIN.
Wilson Co., N. C. i
Yes, sir; any trial reader who
sends six new trial subscriptions can
get the paper free for six months
from January 1st or one month
from January 1st anyhow for each
and every new 15-cent subscriber
he sends, and if he beats an old
guard and sends the biggest list of
the day he will get the dollar prize.
Now let all get to work.
ADULTERATED COTTONSEED
MEAL.
Both State and National Pure Food
Laws Forbid Its Sale, j
Messrs. Editors: Will you tell me
please, whether the United ; States
Pure Food Laws apply to cottonseed
meal? And what State remedies
have we in North Carolina against
a party selling us adulterated and
worthless cottonseed meal as the
pure article? We bought from, as
we supposed an honest and reliable
company, and the meal was made up
of hulls, cotton stalks, and a little
rotten meal. .
FARMER S. "
Albemarle Co., Va. s
(Answer by B. W. Kilgore State
Chemist.) i!
The National Pure Food Law as
well as the State Law in North Caro
lina, covers food and Crink for! both
man and domestic animals. Ih this
State there is also a special act! gov
erning the inspection and sale of cot
tonseed meal, and which prohibits
the sale of any meal which shall con
tain less than 7 per cent ammonia;
Each bag of meal Is required to have
the guaranteed percentage of j am
monia printed on the bag or Ion a
tag attached thereto. It is made the
duty of the Department of . Agricul
ture to inspect cottonseed meal j as it
does fertilizers, frequent sampled be
ing collected and analyzed in: this
way. Samples sent in by farmers
or users are also analyzed without
charge. It is a misdemeanor to sell
meal without complying - with' the
provisions of this act, and where the
meal falls below the guarantee, the
Commissioner of Agriculture has au
thority to assess the deficiency
against the manufacturer and to pay
it either to the dealer or user.
Parties desiring to take samples
for analysis should apply to the State
Chemist for instruction blanks for
drawing samples. 1
I Referred to Our Readers.
Messrs. Editors: We have been
blest with a better corn crop than
usual, and we desire to know how
to protect It from weevils, bugs, etc.
Some say put it in a barn with a
leaky roof and not shuck the corn,
tliat the corn will keep all right and
that the insects will not trouble it
for two years. Please give us the
best plan for protecting our corn
against those insects..
j Our cotton crop is off, but nearly
ail ppen. A large per cent of it is
opening prematurely. L
I Ii would like to know the best
grasses for pasture that will, not. seed
and give us trouble on our farm3i
I j am aware that the Bermuda
spreads without seeding, but there
are some other kinds for instance,
vetch. Will it give any trouble over
the land? I see your suggestions as.
to best oats, etc.

In Mr. A. M. Wor den's aricle on

That is one reason why you should
