If the Hutch farmer can afford to
pay fi.; per too for acid phosphate
and make it pay. bow much more can
a Southern farmer obtain when be
can buy about threa times as much
phosphate with the same money?
. . Dutch farmers are shrewd and thrif
ty. They bavfe developed agriculture
to a very high state of effleieocy. and
they -Jsoowr - quite -w*U - whsr -caw b*
done with acid phosphate at $»a per

contrary It is highly developed and
fertile. Every rod that ran possibly
be used for agriculture is cultivated
like a garden. They have found that
no matter bow rich their soil, fertiliz
ing ft pays. Out of their experience
they find that it pays them now to
invest as much as laa per ton in mid
phoapha'e.

I'nder boll weevil conditions, earl)
maturing of cotton is essential. Acid
phosphate, of course, promotes the fru

ricultural authorities are now recom
mending liberal use of acid phospha'e
in fertiiizrrs as an important nt^asur*'
in combatting the boll weevil. \
If Hie Southern farmer had to pay

J. C. Pridmore, Agronomist
Inquiry—“How would you fertlliz*
to beat the boll weevil to the cotton?"
In growing cotton under boll weevil
conditions, severnl factors must be
given consideration. Tbe land should
be well drained and well supplied with
vegetable matter. Good seed of a va
riety adapted to tbe locality should
be chosen, and. of course, a variety
that will mature its fruit quickly and
resist wilt should be planted. Fer
tilize liberally, and properly cultivate.
On the heavier soils, such as the fed
clays and clay loams, the use of a fer
tilizer carrying 10 per cent to 12 per
cent phosphoric acid, 3 to 4 per cent
nitrogen and a small per cent of pot
ash, if it ran be hud. sliculd be used.
Apply at the rate of 250 to 40<» pounds

Years Ago
a yountc man presented a younK lady, who had promise-.!
some day to jfo fifty-fifty with him, with a i»ox of soap.
Hen Daily (that was his name, and as the Grim Uea|H*r
cut him down years ajfo. no harm can come from nam
ing him) presented that particular box of soap to that
particular girl with simply the thought in mind that he
wanted to do something nice because he 4oved her: but.
speaking alter the manner oT men, that is the place
w here Hen dropped a big nail in the stearing gear. Eu.
ma not only returned the soap, but a cute ncte also t *
the ell eel that there would bo no wedding bells rung for
yours truly. She said nc man could suggest to her by
the present of a l>ox of soap that she was not tidy and
could get away with it.
Hy suggesting that you will need a new bed or crib
this season, we don’t viant to be personal, of course you
will want an Iron or Brass Bed and you .will naturally
want one from the well known' and nationally advertised

SOY BEANS IN THE ROTATION.
Inquiry--“Will you recommend a
rotation in vlhich soy beans, cotton
and some tyher crop will be used'*’’
Soy bean- are highly recommended.
They are a legume and, therefore, do
not require much nltiogen. The hay
is abundant and the feeding value
high. The oil mills afford a ready
market for the Ite.tn, and the cake
which is produced by the mills has
.Splendid feeding values.
A good rotation to follow Is cotton
followed by coin with soy beans, fob
lowed by oats and cowpeas. For
southern conditions Holly brook - and
Mammouth . Yellow are recommended
