Lint Growers Now Side-Dressing Crop Delayed By Cold Raleigh,'June 19—Side-dressing North Carolina’s cotton crop, now recovering from the effects of a Cold spring, is in full swing, according to Dr. E. R. Collins, fertility agronomist of the N. C. Agricultural Experiment station. In some cases where growers secured a good stand l from the first planting, the agronomist pointed out, the side-dresser has already been applied. However, where the cotton had to be re planted, the job is just now get ting underway. For those who have not yet applied a side-dressing to their crop, Dr. Collins recommended 16 pounds of soluble nitrogen, the equivalent of approximately 100 pounds of nitrate of soda to the acre. This amount is for the light er, sandier soils, and should be cut down to 10 pounds of soluble nitrogen on the heavier more fer tile soils. The agronomist explained that the side-dressing should be ap plied within ten days after the cotton plants are chopped. Where rust has appeared in previous crops, from 75 to 100 pounds of murate of potash also should be applied not later than ten days after chopping. Dr. Collins explained that side dressing is more common in the Coastal Plain section of the State where the soils are sandier and lighter. Also, he pointed out, there is more need of .potash in this area, particularly on land growing cot ton and peanuts in rotation, the latter crop taking much of the potash from the soil. As a whole, the agronomist said, the cotton crop in North Carolina is good this year, despite the set-backs it received earlier in the season. o INCREASE A noticeable increase in the number of home gardens in Samp - j son county has taken place th’.s year, according to J.
