DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1921. CLEMSON COLLEGE MAKES TESTS WITH FERTILIZERS ducts. I I found Moat Interesting Experiment Was Made in Allendale County. In his annual report of Experiment Station work, Prof. C. P. Blackwell, chief of the agronomy division of Clemson College, makes an interest ing preliminary report on experiments with fertilizers now being conducted on different soil types in various parts of the State, the most interesting of which was the one located at Allen dale. He says. We have> planed this work so that it will tell us three specific things with-reference to each of the leading soil types in the state. ThesP three tilings are: 1. What fertilizer formula, or what combination of phosphoric acid, ammonia and potash, Will give best results on a certain soil type, and for a certain crop. 2. What is the most profitable rate of Application for different crops. 3. Does the soil type being tested need lime for the crops grown, and what is the effect of lime on the soil. There are many soil types in th« state, about ten being pf special agriculture importance. It is very obvious that results secured on one soil type in one partr of the state would hot apply to a different soil type in another part of the state. We hope next year to get tests located on each of the principal soil types of the state. The tests in the boll weevil s&s tion of the state are of special in terest and importance just now. Our most interesting test this year was the one located at Allendale where there was a heavy infestation of boll weevil. Our best plots gave more than a bale to the acre and the whole tests was very interesting: Our tests are planned to use a com plete fertilizer, as a check and then eliminate one element at a time by grading it from nothing to a high percentage while keeping the other two constant. This tells us not pnly whether or not that element is needed, but also how much of it is needed if We have an abundance of-the other twe - At Alleodale on a Norfolk Sandy LcM»m thjs year we found nitrogen to be our greatest limiting factor and acid phosphate our second. Potash was of much less importance. , * The large applications of fertilizer gave*tts a larger weed but failed to give us any more cotton than medium applications, as the boll weevil g most of the crop on the heavy appli duction, eight per gent of ‘them were capable of producing under propex management and with the proper feed. On one farm, I found, con ditions quite different. Would that every farm in Arkansas should apply such methods. We could laugh at the low pjrices of cotton and other pro- on this farm a modern house, fourteen by forty feet' open front, shed roof, facing south. The perches were arranged on a level with the dropping boards. The floor was dry and covered with oak leaves to a depth of twelve inches and one hundred and twenty-five busy hens wera working hard at sunset in,an ef fort to fijl their crbps before bed time. I assisted the good wife in collecting sixty-two fresh laid eggs, a reward presented by this happy flock for good treatment. I found four pans con taining buttermilk under a * shed. I had seen enodgh and I was sure the eggs could be found. We should like to see a flock of uniform poultry on every farm and shall not consider our jmission a Hucccas or complete until this is ac- complished. Not until then can we expect to demand the top price for our products in competition with an A-GRADE standard uniform of pro ducts. However, the world was not made in a day so, a right step in that direction is the next best thing. Dis pose of that scrubby, scaly leg, nar row, dung hill, knocked kneed rooster and get a standard bred Plymouth Rock Rhode Island Red, Orpington, Leghorn or any good utility, vigorous bird and you will be so well pleased with the improved fryers, pullets and eggs produced next year that you will go the whole thing another year with an exclusive flock of good birds., Two hundred pure bred cockerels were recently placed on two hundred farms in Hempstead County by Miss Agnes Matthews, County Home Dem onstration. Ajgenty This number placed in each county would equal fifteen thousand. Who Will Be Next? Watch for the best flayers through December and January, and mark them for breeders if you have^to birHd a special yard to keep them confined through February, March and April/ This will insure you eggs next winter, if you hatch them early and %row them walL —^■ ■■" If you have no green feed, Epson Salts given every ten days about one pound to one hundred hens, in /the drinking water will give surtmsing results. • SaJts has a like effect unto green food, as a laxativjrmrd clean Ser.

Lansden, Poultry Specialist, Little Rock, Ark. Advertise in The People. Eggs are 85 cents per-dozen in Lit tle Rock and hard to, get. They, are $1.25 per dozen in New York. Are you supplying a part of these “gold en eggs?” If not. it is your own fault—and should T visit your place l could readily point out your fault. I point them but every day. For example, recently in company with a county agent; I visited eight; farms in one day, having been solic ited to come and cull their poultry flocks because they were getting no eggs. Qn seven of these fayms I.L found practically the same conditions/ They were maintaining an average of 75 hens and collecting an average of one dozen eggs per day. A few had poultry ""houses'yrf the “make-shift tX£e,” two-inch cracks on all sides, roosts of the ladder type, reaching from the front entrance to the eave of the back wall, thus covering the en tire floor area, which was from two to four inches covered with dropping. The flocks had no quarters in wfrieh to spend the cold, wet days. The feed consisted wholly of corn and in many MONEY TO LOAN Loans made same day application received.
