Answers Timely Farm Questions At State College QUESTION: What varieties of cotton are recommended for planting this year? ANSWER: A list of the varieties suitable for the various sections of the State are contained in Agrnomy Information Circular No. 78, copies of which may be secured by writing C. B. Williams, State College, Ral eigh. QUESTION: How should a home garden be planned for best results? ANSWER: Much time and effort can be saved by arranging the garden in sections or units. Plant the peren nial crops such, as asparagus and small fruits at one side where the hotbeds and cold-frames are located. Quick maturing crops such as garden peas, green onions and lettuce are planted in the next section. Early cabbage, beets snap beans, and early corn follow in the next section with another section set aside for the main summer crops. Late plantings should follow each section as the first crop is harvested. * ! T J Several cars of beef cattle fed by C. A.

There are changing con ditions on every side. Much is being done to bring better times to the farmer. Bright tobacco growers will bend every effort to produce a better quality, higher-priced crop on a reduced acreage. Most low-grade tobacco will probably never reach the floor. It is more Important than ever to make sure you-are using the proper fertilizer. Remember, potash is the quality-producing element in tobacco fertilizer. The U. S. Department of Agriculture and the North Carolina State College of Agriculture recommend a fertilizer containing 6 to \to% potash for bright tobacco. Crhemical analysis of high-quality tobacco plants proves ~ that a 1,000-pound crop contains more than three times as much potash as 860 pounds of 3%-potash fertilizer con tains. In fact, this analysis shows that tobacco removes from the soil more potash than both nitrogen and phos phoric acid combined. If you are dissatisfied with your yields and quality you probably have not been using the proper fertilizer. Plan now to use a mixture well-balanced with plenty of potash this season. Tell your fertilizer man you want 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER. ? ..v-P 1 ? u'.S~ ? ife. /? *-'*?'? ? % v* II ^according to the new NorthCarolina fertilizer taws, the nitrogeiriii a fertilizer analysis will now be expressed as nitrogen instead of as ammonia as in the past. This means that this year's fertilizer as compared with last year's/er tilizer of the same analysis will contain about 21% more actual nitrogen. Fertilizer containing too much nitrogen produces rough, bony tobacco. Avoid this by selecting a fertilizer mix ture in which the nitrogen has been well-balanced with plenty of potash. Tell your fertilizer man you want 3-8*8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER. 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER is nothing new. It has proven its value in tests conducted over a period of years throughout the entire bright tobacco belt. The results of these tests show that fanners can very profitably apply two to three times as much potash as the average crop re - ceives. The table below shows the results obtained by in creasing the potash content of the average fertilizer used by 138 farmers on 1,242 acres of bright tobacco. In these tests a fertilizer containing 8% potash was com pared with a fertilizer containing 3% potash, or a fertilizer containing 10% potash was compared with a fertilizer containing 5% potash, etc. _ gain in dollars per acre from increasing the potash in the farmers' fertilizer at an average cost of $3 per acre i 1 !.

'] This extra cash from bright tobacco was obtained not only from increased yields,but also from greatly improved quality. The North Carolina Tobacco Experiment Station has said: "Potash is perhaps the most important single constituent of the fertilizer mixture for the growing of tobacco from the standpoint of quality." 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER gives best results with closer rows, closer spacing, ridge cultivation and late * topping. Set more plants per acre and top after about half the crop is gathered. 3-8-8 holds the tobacco on the hill after it matures, without burning, producing a thin, grainy leaf with "high-dollar" quality. When you buy fertilizer, remember that 800 pounds of 3-8-8 usually costs less than 1,000 pounds of 3-8-3, yet 800 pounds of 3-8-8 contains more actual plant food and is a much better balanced fertilizer. Tell your fertilizer man you want 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER. .J . ? " . The New Deal Demands Quality! The growers who pro duce the best tobacco will-benefit most from better times. Plan now to produce a thin leaf on the bright side. Use the best cultural methods, correct spacing, high topping and the proper amounts of 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER. The extra potash in this fertilizer adds the grain and tex ture that brings more on the floor. Your fertilizer man recognizes the importance of fur nishing you with the mixture which will pay you best under present conditions. He now has 3-8-8. TOBACCO FERTILIZER on sale.
