The results of Home experiment* 1% oottou culture at the Georgia experiment station are given as follows: Twenty-six varieties of cotton were inder test. In value of total products per acre the lending varieties, given In decreasing order, wore as follows: Lay ton Improved, Cleveland Big Boll, Broad well Double Jointed, Cook Improved. These varieties all produced values of over $05 per acre. The average total value of lint and seed produced by the twenty-six varieties was $<10.01 per acre, the range being from $17.15 to $75.50 per acre. The average .rlehl of seed cotton per acre was 1.517 pounds and the range 1,315 to 1,754 nminila The avorago results of this work for thirteen years show that tho best half of tho number of varieties grown each year produced 34.0 per cent of lint ami the others 32.5 per cent. In lOOfl tho best half of tho varieties grown produced 30.8 per cent of lint as compared **lth 37.8 for 10Of>. The best yielding varieties also showed the larger slr.o of bolls, although In some years thero were exceptions to this rule. Earllness was 111 favor of the better yielding sorts during four seasons and in favor of the poorer yleldors the re Plaining nine years. Tho Cotton Bollworm. The cotton bollworm is practically omnivorous. Its liablt of very general feeding is among tho dlflleultles expo rlenced In attempting Its control. The plants upon which the larvae have been known to feed number about seventy. Tho principal crops In the United States depredated upon by this species are cotton, corn, tomatoes, tobacco and various garden crops. Various names have been applied to 'his Insect, according to the food plant or character of injury Inflicted, the names bud worm, corn ear worm, tomato fruit worm, etc., being variously applied. The term "sharpshooter," being very loosely used. Is quite often applied to It. Tho exclusive use of the term bollworm should be encouraged to prevent confusion regardless of the food plant upon which tho Insect Is found.?F. C. His hop. A Plain Hit.

An experiment was conducted on the ! farm of J. J. Harrison, Columbus. . i Tex., which Illustrates clearly tin greater ease with which Johnson grass I can ho killed where It has attained hat ? slight rootstock development as com pared with eases where the rootstock* . ; penetrate deeply. A large hodv of land ( . was thoroughly Infested with Johnson , ! grass. A fence was run across one see- , ! tlon of this land In the sprint; of 1D0J, \ I and the worst part of the Held was* | turned Into a meadow. Hay was mown on this meadow for three years, and In the latter part of the season of Ifiod the land was pastured. On the other side of the fence cotton was grown foi two years, and In 1005 It was planted to corn. Field Planted to Cotton. I Tn the spring of lOOd the fence was removed, and the whole Held was broken in a hotly again ami planted to cotton. This whole section was thickly j set In Johnson grass. In the part which had been cultivated to corn the rootstocks had penetrated very deepl.v while in the part which had been pas lured they were very near the surface. The rows were run at right angles to the old fence line, and both portions of the field were cultivated the same number of times.

Asparagus plants or roots can he grown from seed in any good ordinary soil If well enriched and thoroughly prepared by plowing or spading. They, however, succeed best In deep, sandy loam. As (lie shell of the seed is very hard and germination somewhat slow, it is thought advisable to cover seeds with hot (not boilingt water and leave them to soak until cool, repeating this once or twice, when they should at once ho sown, says a writer in (hardening. Owing to the slow germination of seeds and slow growth of young plants great care should be taken that the lat ' U\. illlU aside from this danger the growth of these or of any young plants is greatly assisted by frequent shallow cultivation. It Is generally advised by writers that plants should he thinned to two or three Inches, but I do not do this unless by accident the drill has sown more seed than I intended, nor do 1 think it is now customary with large growers. One ounce of seed will sow about sixty feet of drill and produce from HOP 10 uuu plants. *] 3 The Bo!l Weevil.

As a rule, it contains from ten to sixteen per cent, of more or less promptly available plant food. In other words, a commercial fertilivnr ni.iil.il"" ? i - ........ w>muiin 111 v: > ?.:! y IIIIIIIIICU 1HMIIIU8 weight from 10 to 10 pounds of available phosphoric acid, either alone, or that amount of phosphoric acid and potash combined, or of these two and nitrogen combined, making in the latter ease, what is called a "complete" fertilizer. Now, this 10 to 10 pounds in each 100 pounds of the fertilizer is supposed to be, and should be, practically soluble and available at once, or within a week or two, for the use of the crop, says VirginiaCarolina Fertilizer Almanac. The remaining portion of the fertilizer, or the 81 to 00 pounds In each 100 pounds, is a mixture of insoluble phosphate and sulphate of lime, some sand, water, organic matter and other things that are necessarily incident to the manufacture, and cannot be economically removed. They arc of very lltfle immediate value to either the crop or the soil. So when we apply a high-grado fertilizer to the soil the object is to supply the plants with soluble plant food and increase the yield of the cotton, grain, grass, or whatever the crop may be. Incidentally, however, this fertilizer does help the land, because it Induces a larger growth of stalk, roots and foliage of the plants?or those parts that will be returned to, and become part of the soil. A dose of this fertilizer, for instance, not only increases the yield of seed cotton, but also t he size of the stalks, the foliage, bulls and other parts that go immediately back and form a part of the soli in the shape of humus (decayed vegetable matter). Hut the principal way to improve the sell Itself, is to add vegetable matter to it in the fcrm of stable manure, renovating crops, rotation of crops, etc., in a more direct manner. Tt would seem manifest, then, if wo wish to increase the yield of corn, cotton, wheat, oats, grass, etc., that the fertilizer should contain the three "elements" of plant food in the proportions that are host suited to the particular crop. This is particularly true If the purpose is to use liberal amounts of fertilizer per acre. In such case the deficient supply, in the natural soil, of any one or mere of tho three "valuable" elements (phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash) need not be specially considered. According to carefully conducted field experiments, conducted nt many of the experiment stations, it lias been found that cotton requires a fertilizer that cnn. tains about one part each of nitrogen and potash and 3 1-3 parts of available phosphoric acid. This demand would be met by^a fertilizer containing 10 per cent, available phosphoric acid, 3 per cent, of nitrogen and 3 per cent, of potash; or, ?s ordinarily expressed, a 10?3?3 fertilizer. One^jMialyzing 9?2.70?1.70; or 8?2.40?2.40; or 2.10, etc., would answer Just as Kennedy's | Laxative !

So it has been found that corn, sugar * ' cane, sorghum, grasses and other crops **? < belonging to the grass family respond best to a fertilizer that shall contain 10 parts of phosphoric acid, 5 parts of nitro- ^ gun ana z parts or potash? or a 10?5?2 s \ fertilizer.

Of course, these lower grades can be sold v at lower prices than the high grades; . VX> but, as a rule, the farmer will hud it more economical to buy the high grades, both on account of their cheaper price v per "unit" and also the saving of freight ^ the latter being precisely the same, per -.4 ton. for both high and lo.v grades. \ APPLYING FERTILIZER WHEN V; PLANTING. SN While 1. is certainly true, in our experience, that the greater part of the fer- n tilizcr should be applied about two weeks < before the crop is to be planted, well mixed in the soil of the bedding furrow and bedded on, there are circumstances that would justify a farmer in making >5 one or more intercultural applications, including one at the actual date of planting. Tho following aro such circumstances; v n (1) When a farmer has not been a bio to secure the whole amount of his fertilizers before planting time. 5 (2) When he concludes, after his crop ...J has been planted ami is growing, that he did not buy and apply as much as ho V, should have done before planting. "X, (3) When the yellowish green color and . . want of vigor in the appearance of the :' * plants indicate that more nitrogen if* .* *! needed by tho crop. ^ We believe it may bo safely accepted - ^3 as a general rulo that a small portion of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer should ho ^5 appliet" with, or near the seed, at tho timo of planting. The effect of this small X^tf application is to supply the young plants * with available food during the first stngo JHfl of their growth, inducing prompt n\,4 vigorous development. For this purpose 40 to 50 pounds per acre may he applied of the same fertilizer that had been bedded on two weeks before planting. A second application of high-grade fer- > ? It ^ uuziirs may be made at the second or m third plowing of cotton, or at six or eight Inches height of the plants up to 18 Inch- <0 es, or the middle to last of May, and tlio ; middle to last of June. ; The intercultural applications may mado In the siding furrow, or the fer- 'S* tilizer may be strewn along in the middles ahead of the plow or cultivator. There is no need to fear that the plants will -a not get the benefit of a high-grade fertilizer if put anyhere, on or between the rows. Juno 26th is the latest date at which the writer has ever applied fertilizer in this way to either corn or cotton, .although there is little reason to douht that even later applications would benefit the crop; but probably not enough > to pay the cost of the fertilizer. ? < * jSjK) smx hi pio3 | '4 I I ?I f-'l .."9^ ?1 anpipaui jsaq 1 I SJ U pies ?Alfq Xuiem *S59U 3 ?ieui?j 'suicd iBoipoii?d & j oipeqoBq '?ipBp??q j? noX 9 g o\ ;ou Xip* os 'uouio/a ipjs jotpo fl ^ | gj jo spuBsnoqi o\ pjpj piBneuq sen g v * ?XpsuiQJi G[euioj }e?i8 sjqj n ^ ;eqj JoquiouiOH *noX dpq \\\t\ fl v s 11 ?ins a j* fi* m v - ? ?v viu u^iqnoij I * j I GiciuQ) jnoX JO} 'inpjBQ Qye\ oj 9 v I no A W 9MI | HOlL.ISTEfiS Rocky Mountain Tea Nuggets A Bnsy Modioli for Bury Pcoplo. v Brings Geldeu Health and Roi-owod Vigor.
