these lands, are pre-eminently adapted

and that it has been proven beyond

Teats With Cotton.
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

were exceptions to this rule. Earllness

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.

agitation and said: "Has anybody in
this car any whisky? A woman In tho
car behind has fainted!" Instantly
dozens of Husks were produced. The
man who had asked for It picked out
the largest one, drew the cork and put
the bottle to his Hps. With a long, sathdied
sigh, he handed the tlask hack
and remarked, "That did me a lot of
good, and 1 needed it, for it always
makes ino feel queer to see a woman

had been cultivated to corn the rootstocks
had penetrated very deepl.v
while in the part which had been pas

The rows were run at right angles to
the old fence line, and both portions of

Facts About Asparagus.
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. *]

EASTER CUSTOMS.

Some of the old Easter customs lu |
England are curiously barharie, and
jven at the present time the observ- j
inee of this particular festival Is sur

lust enough to lend to it the charm of

heir heart's desire. And who does not
alto good care to wear their new

Among the earliest of Easter cus

' ' ItRiilLlZING THE CROP.
a
The primary object in using fertilizer
In to produce a larger yield of the crop
that is to bo immediately grown, or is
already growing, on the land to which
die fertilizer is to bo applied. 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

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. The following formulas are X?
In precisely the same proportions, only
they are of lower grade, and would give
practically the same results only when a >4.
correspondingly larger application shall 'vy
he made per acre?viz., 9?4.50?1.80; or
8?4.00?1.G0; or 7?3.50?1.40, nnd so on. 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;

(1) When a farmer has not been a bio
to secure the whole amount of his fertilizers
before planting time. 5

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. ?
