the basis of represent at ion vie !
Otie for every si\ and major!.';,
fractional part there f on the re
spoetive township rolls.
Township presidents are re
quested to call their township
meetings at once and enroll every
one that is disposed to unite with
us in endeavoring to protect and
advance the cotton growers' interest.
All are certainly inter
ested. But the farmer cannot
afford to sit quietly down and
make no elTort to relievo himself.
The professiona'ir.t and members
of other callings have their
own associations and business to
look after and if the farmers do
not take care of themselves they
will be left in the race.
As soon as sufficiently organized
we hope to be able to estaoli-di
a Bureau of Information, one
of the purposes which will be 1o
get as accurate an estimate of
acres planted in cotton, amount
of fertilizers used, conditions of
crops, etc., as possible.

In view of these things we

want an answer to as quick as J,
possible.
1. We havo some land which fj
we wish to put in cotton. It is t)
sandy land with sandy subsoil, ti
What is the best fertilizer for ti
such land, bone or colton seed si

2. Which is the best way to put *
the manure in the ground,in with ?
the planting of seeds or bed on it?
Anhwuk?Formula No. 2, given in .
editorial of last week's paper,will have *
been seen by you before this appears, C'
and you will not be far wrong if you w
adopt it for your use. We would put f|
in formula No. 2 about one-third more

As I have said before, the best
nd most practical bulletins that
know of are issued by the
aorgia station. Director Keeling
is not only up on the seienlie
side of farming,but he knows
ie practical side as well. A
ouble with some of our agrieullral
professors and experiment
;ation men iH that while they
now what science has to teach
bout farming they are ignorant
f practical farming itself. The
wo must go together.
The latest bulletin issued by
le Georgia station is on corn
ulture. In another number I
ill give some extracts from
lis bulletin.
