EVIDENCE J. J. Keys, and J. E. weather and by the. amount of cream
Carter used a 12-3-5 fertilizer under! being: received. On Monday,' May
28, about 220 gallons of cream were
'Some oats sowed on Mr. Faulkner's
: land. They report that this fertilizer
. is sure making the oats.
J. H. Stmee used 12-3-5 and 3-2-2
1 under corn, both at tbe same rate
per acre. When the corn was three
weeks old a large difference could be
seen in the rate of growth from the
two-fertilizers. The corn over the
12-3-5 was the larger.
Mr. Stines also has evidence of the
value of limestone on the growth of
vegetation. Two years ago a portion
of a fieM was covered with limestone.
Today the clover is growing on the
. ground treated and there is no clover
on the adjoining ground which reeeiv-
' ed no limestone. Also the vegetation
is of a ricffer color on the limed land.
We quote these as evidence that
the use of limestone and of the high-
er grades of fertilizer pays.
THEY GREW IN MADISON COUN
TY Monday, Mr. J. A. Leake, Re
vere, sent to our office evfdence that
strawberries of the best kind can be
grown in this county. Two quarts
of strawberries as large as the largest
and as red as the reddest and with a
flavor to match the size and the solor
constituted this evidence.
Others in the county are harvesting
crops of fine berries. Mr. T. A.
Woody set out a bed two years back.
He used plants of three varieties in
setting this bed, early, middle season,
and late. This year he is picking
berries and will continue for some
weeks. Yes, they are good, also.
L. C. Coates, Route 4, is also on
the market with strawberries that
can not be beat for quality.
The strawberry season promises to
be stretched out this year, thanks to
the cool weather and the rains. "No
great loss without some gain."
taken to Biltmore by the truck. This
contained over 600 lbs. of butterfat
and was worth in round terms, $300.
A great deal of this butterfat would
have been wasted if the cream hauler
had not been ready to take it The
number of patrons grows constantly.
The size of the checks varies from a
dollar or less to over S20 Der week.
The creamery would be glad to get
a load like this every 'day istead of
one or two days in the week.
JJ. b. Tweed, Route 4. who deliver
ed the first cream after opening the
cream station here in 1926. started
selling again during May. Het brought
his first ticket to us to calculate the
amount and value of the butterfat.
We figured that his butterfat. sold as
cream, brought him about twice the
amount it would have brought sold as
butter. '
Let's get into the habit, folks, of
selling our surplus butterfat as cream
instead of as butter. It is easier, it
is more profitable, there is all kinds of
room to grow.
CORN DEMONSTRATIONS There
are some demonstrations of the uae
of fertilizer on corn that should be
watched this summer. Over on Spring
Creek, Roy Woody is using 100 lbs.
of nitraphoska, a high grade fertilizer
having an analysis of 30-15-15, on an
acre ot .corn. Beside this acre there
the Walnut road, is an acre of corn
that received 200 lbs. of 16 per cent
acid phosphate and 50 Jo s. of muriate
of potash at planting time. Later
this acre of corn will m topdresse'd
with sulphate of (ammonia. .What
will be the result! - .' lu.
Near Bluff some young men are ex
perimenting with three acres of corn.
They drilled in with a wheat drill
when preparing the ground 1600 lbs.
of 8-4-4. When they planted the
corn they used 400 lbs. of 8-4-4 un
der the corn. Later they intend to
use 600 lbs. of 16 per cent Scid,
when they lay by. We wonder it
some nitrate of soda would not Jiave
helped at this time. Let's watch and
find out. ..
It will profit the farmers to watch
these fields of corn. They might
learn that which would be of value to
them. We can not learn it all by
our own exnerienra. let'a maka.nao
of the other fellow's experience, also.
USE THE TOBACCO LAND -Many
farmers are fertilizing rather heavily
for tobacco this year. This is all
right if the right grade of fertilizer
has been used, one that will supple
ment the plant food in the soil, one
that will not only grow the crop but
one that will put the quality to the
crop and ripen it up.
There will probably be a residue of
the fertilizer left in the ground. ' If
this residue is to be saved for the
plants later on it should foe changed
into a more permanent form. Use a
cover crop on the tobacco ground af
ter the tobacco is removed. Some
thing that will make use of the ferti
lizer and that will put it in a form in
which it can be returned to the soil
and matie available to the growing
plant. A small grain is good, rye,
wheat; hairy vetch, crimson clover,
either one will do the trick. Let's
