J 3 Y~ SOUTHERN f 0? ?> ? * TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THEPLANTi M Thirty Year*' Experieni'? In Berry Fruit Growing. - Thirty years old in any one line of business is quite patriarcbial, for this has been a generation of changes and frequent adjustments and readjustments. It has not fallen to the let of many men to hold to one thing for so near the third part of the century. I consider myself fortunate that fate has permitted me to bend virtually all the energies of uiy life to one thing, given me time and opportunity to master it in proportion to my abilities and to reap a reward that seems to me greater than ray deserts. And still more fortunate am I in that I have had sons to grow up around me, profiting by my experience, to see more broadly and reach higher, making my plans and alms their plans and aims, but larger. But I am not writing a family history, but a treatise on fruit growing. In that thirty years I learned many things and had to unlearn many things. What I had to chiefly unlearn was that the old system of manuring fruits was wrong. To me and to ray average contemporaries in those days manure was manure and fertilizer fertilizer. It occurred to us dimly, if at all. that as different animals required different kinds of food and in different proportions, so did different plants and crops. And I will add that the less from illy balanced manure and fertilizer in those dark days was enormous, and who will be bold enough to say that the dark days are even yet entirely past with all of us? The three fertilizing properties which experience has proven sho:.ld he added to the soil to make it productive are, as is weli known, nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid. All of these arc essential, one as much as the other, but they are ueeded in different proportions on different soils and for different crops, and their blind and injudicious use works loss in many ways. As nitrogen is the most expensive It is in that the greatest waste ami loss occurs in the ignorant use cf fertilizers. The loss is greater ia berry fruit growing thap in any other crop we have, because more fertilizer is used on this than Is the custom cn other crops and because the loss in quantity and quality through unwise manuring is so great in this crop. My largest crops of fruit have always come from the most liberal use of fertilizer when rightly proportioned. My largest crops of disappointments have grown where the largest quantity of illy balanced fertilizer was used. My experience is that a perfectly balanced berry fruit fertilizer should contain at least two and one-half times as much potash ami twice as much phosphoric acid as it contains ammonia. My plan in planting strawberries, dewberries, blackberries, raspberries, etc., is to appiy cottonseed meal in ibo drills before the plants are set at the rate of CO0 to S00 pounds to the acre. This is sown in the drills and mixed with the soli and listed on just before the plants arc set in winter or spring. After that no more nitrogen is used in any form until after the crop is gathered the following year. I depend upon plenty of potash and phosphoric acid to make She fruit. Nor have I ever failed in my whole experience to make a good crop except one year when hail destroyed about cnc-hnif. I apply potash in the form of sulphate of potash, which is decidedly the best form for all kinds of fruit, using about 100 pon'p.ds per acre, usually mixed with .'500 pounds of acid phosphate or dissolved bone. This mixture I sow broadcast over the plants during late laii and winter. it will undoubtedly pay to use a somewhat large quantity of "both of these fertilizers either broadcast before the plants are set or else by chopping in around and between the plants during the sniniuer or early fall. Potash and phosphoric acid, as they arc much less liable to be washed out and lost than ammonia is. can therefore be more liberally used without loss, as most of the fertility of tills kind remains in the soil until taken up l?y the plants. I will add that the largest yield of strawberries which f ever lieanl of being made in this State was grown by myself under the system of fertilizing above described. O. W. I5LACKNALL. Eittrell,- N. C. Snb?ol(1i?tr. years ago wo saw some red clnym**i|^putainlns little humus, 6ul)-?oi]ed eight to ' -n Inches. The work was done with an tV vleiit twohorse subsoiler drawn by iwxrinules. That wvrk was thrown away. Heavy spring rains solidified the -day. The r.eal of tbe fanner doing the work was not according to knowledge. He knows beitei now. He will not repeat his error. But lie is fully convinced of the great value of subsoiliug our clay ' Sharps and Flats.

Land should never be subsoiled when the clay is wet and sticky. We saw a field prepared for ; wheat this fall. In places the soil was ;[ shallow. A two-horse turn-plow was ;! used. The wet clay was brought to the ]! top. where it remains in clod, and it ]! will be there next spring. Break only ;! so much of the hardpan or clay as can |! be incorporated with the top soil.

A pound of cotton-seed meal is lArth ;| a pound and three-quarters of coi% for J feeding cattle, but when cotton-Sted meal is fed and the manure Raved vit^ J reasonable care, three-fourths of its fertilizer value may he regained in the ;! droppings. Can we continue to waste J! three-fourths of the value of our cot- j! ton-seed meal because we have not J! learned, and apparently do not want to | learn, to raise and care for live stock? i At present the price of cotton-seed nteal is based on its fertilizer value alone, but as its food vulue becomes better 1 appreciated, the price will be deter- ^ rained by its combined fertilizer and c feeding values. During the last ten a years the price of meal lias risen from S15 tp $25 per ton, and I predict that t during the next ten years it will advance to $35, because it is worth that * amount in comparison with the usual price of other food stuffs. Can we afford to continue to use it as fertilizer f .. . ?, ..... t .none, ai mat price, anu iguurc uuu waste Its feeding valne? ? We certainly need live stock to con- 1 suine this cotlon-?eed meal, for only by . feeding it can we obtain its full value, j The same principles are involved when we consider the disposition that shojid be made of leguminous forage crops. It j is universally admitted that it pays 1 | to grow cowpcas as a means of soil , I improvement, for. even when the crop t is cut for hay. there Is still left to the " ! soil, in the roots and stubble, froim S2.30 to $3 worth of nitrogen for evi r.r ton of hay produced. But wlieu this i crop is grown, what shall we do with it? Every ton of this cowpca hay is worth at least $10 for fertiliser, at the price we pay for plant food in commercial fertilizer.?Progressive Tanner. Sul>-.oilinc With One Hove, A farmer came io us a few davs a,, j saying flint you are always telling us to break the hard pan and subsoil our land.

If land is intended for corn, make the rows proper width and run the furrows in the middle. That requires a little time, but It will pay any fanner cultivating kinds. Another plan for one-horse farmers is to swap labor. Buy two-horse-plows and harrows in common and take it time alnuit using them. They will soon lie j able to buy another horse.

The following is from the Farm and Fireside: The commercial millet seed is about as cheap as wheat, and it is possible that In the future it will become a special food for all kinds of 1 poultry.
