Nltrogsa la the moat Important element in hastening the formation of the squares. ▲ side dressing of nitrate of soda on cottoa assures an earlier aqd healthier crop. Interesting experiments are being conducted In a number of Southern State* on the methods of growing corn. Directors of Experiment Sta tions have found that here, too, nitro gen plays an extremely Important role. Aai a top dressing, the nitrate should be applied when the plants are from knee to waist high or at the second or third plowing. The usual rate of application is 150 to 200 pounds per acre. If applied just be fore or after a rain, nitrate of soda goee Into solution Immediately. These teats have shown that we can rear aonably expect to increase the yield of corn from ten to fifteen bushela per acre by top dressing In the man ner suggested. Surely this is bringing efficiency to the farm and increasing the farmer’s profits.
