they have sacrificed their great staple

I FERTILIZER SITUATION
J *
/
OUTLOOK FOR COMMERCIAL
PLANT FOOD IN SOUTH
Prices Not So High As They
Were, But Materials Are
Reported Not Equal
I To Demand '
I
j Atlanta, Ga.?A survey of the fertilizer
situation by those familiar with (
it indicates that there may be a short- j
age of commercial plant food in 1920. J
The reasons assigned for this are principal
that strikes have interfered
with the production of materials. In
addition, there has been some difficulty
in obtaining shipments over the
railroads.
To be more specific, the long drawa i
out strike of miners in the rock phosphate
fields of Florida prevented a
supply of rock phosphate being shipped
to the factories. This and the difficulty
of getting prompt shipments
when the mines resumed work, it ie
claimed, has put the manufacture of
acid phosphate more than three
months behind, besides reducing the
possible supply.
As to ammoniates or nitrogenous
materials, it is pointed out feat the
coal and stedl plant strikes greatly
reduced the possible output of dulnhate
of ammonia. Tankage and cot
tonseed meal are so much in demand
as feed as to be unavailable or too expensive
to use as fertilisers. Nitrate
of soda is being shipped in larger
amounts, but not as cheaply as was
expected. It seems that the demand
for nitrate of soda In the orient, especially,
has kept up the price higher
than was anticipated.
As for potash, there is going to be
a fair supply, the first time since the
European war began. A considerable
amount of potash has been shipped
from Germany to France, while there
is quite an accumulataion of stocks
of desirable American-made potash on
hand.
The Soil Improvement Committee
of the Southern Fertilizer Association,
with headouarters in Atlanta, is send
log out information to southern farmers
urging them to order their fretilizers
early and for immediate ship?
ment. The reasons given are that
there is going to be great difficulty
in supplying the', demand, and the
sooner it is known how mnch the
farmer wants, the sooner the manufacturer
will know how big a job he
has on his hands and how hard he
must work to accomplish as much of
it as possible.
It is also stated that the rairoads
are anxious that fertilisers be ordered
early so that they may be hble to pro
vide cars, else there 'will be a serious
difficulty in getting fertilizers delivered
on time. The railroads are also
insisting on full carload shipments,
which makee it necessary to have or
der? early so as to consolidate tnen
into full carloads.
It is stated that the indications are
that there will be a heavy demand for
fertilizers throughout the South this
year on account of the promising
prospects for southern crops. It is
stated, also, that the orders coming
In to the factories reveal that the
farmer is now wanting higher grade
fertilizers than ever before*POISONING
BOLL WEEVIL
What is claimed to be the most effective
method vet devised for combatting
the boll weevil is that of poisoning
it with calcium arsenate. The
method was perfected by B. R. Coad
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, at the Tallulah, La., station,
after several years of experimenting.
The weevil is poisoned by
dueting the cotton at night or while
the dew is on, using a dusting machine
to apply it. The material poisons
the dew on which the weevil depends
for his drinking water. The
weevil is killed, but there is another
generation hatching out, so that the
poison must be applied thr or four
times at a week or ten days intervals.
Experiments show that the weevil
can be kept down to such an extent
that they can not do serious damage.
The cotton eaved is worth far more
than the cost.
It is important that the right kind
of calcium arsenate be used. There
are different kinds, made for different
purposes. The wrong kind may
be too weak to kill. weevils, or too
strong and injure the cotton plant.
There is no use to begin dusting
the cotton plants before about tea
out of every 100 aquares are punctured
by the weevil. It will be a waste of
money to undertake to spray a field
thoroughly to when there are fewer
weevils in the field. While It will
kill practically all that are alive, the
new hatch will have to be taken care
of by subsequent sprays. It is not advised
that any one undertake to dust
the plants with anything else than the
regular dusting machines. The pole
and bag methods has not proven successful.
The prison material will cost for
four applications from $3 to |4 per
