He has gone into his views on this subject, for the benefit of farmers, in a long interview with Wheeler Mc- .Millen, associate editor of Farm and Fireside, national farm magazine. Interviewing Mr. Edison proved in itself to be of almost as grdht inter est a® the sound views he expressed upon agricultural subjects. The in terview took place at Edison’s home in Florida, where the electrical wiz ard is carrying on experiments with hundreds of varieties of plants that that fertility tests in the South have shown that cdtton responds more to nitrogen than any other 1 fertilizing element. In illustrating this point he sums up briefly all the Alabama Experiment Station results in these words: “The profit per acre from nitrogen is greater than from phos phorus or potashl” Under ordinary farm conditions, Chilean Nitrate of Soda has proved the mest profitable for the cotton crop. In making a general statement regard'ng this fact, based on exper imental results, Prof. Burleson says: “Without lime nitrate of soda was much more efficient, especially with the heavier applications.” Why Side-Dressing Cotton With Chilean Nitrate Of Soda Pays. The more we know about the feed ing habits of the cotton plant the better we will know how to fertilize it; Thc Alabama Experiment Sta tion has conducted investigations to find out at what rate cotton absorbs nitrate nitrogen from the- soil during its growing period and when nitrate of soda should be applied as a side dressing to obtain the most profitable returns. The results of these stud ies explain why side-dressing cotton with Chilean Nitrate of Soda is a vided it can obtain 'sufficient phos phorus, potassium, and moisture. Studies made at the Alabama Ex periment Sta.icn have shown that corn can make the most profitable use of Chilean Nitrate of Soda when it is applied as a side-dressing, or along the row, about 30 or 40 days after planting. Tests on heavy soils gave practically the same results as o n sandy soils. Results have shown that the prop er quantity of nitrate of soda to use as a side-dressing for corn may vary from 100 to 200 pounds per acre. Practical tests have proved that this method of applying “Soda” to corn, based cn the findings of Science, is a profitable and sound practice. Nitrate Of Soda Makes Corn- Growing Profitable.
