Bold by all 1 dealers Fertilizer?; and Corn. Please give me what Information you can in rogarl to commercial .er tllisers for corn. 1 have been con? fused by the Williamson formula, 200 pounds of meal, 200 pounds of acid phosphate, 4 00 pounds of kainit and 125 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre?gave soveral formulas with a ration of about 7?8 1-2?10. The Progressive Farmer gave the opposite 10?5?2 Land rather new, follow? ing cotton for several years, which produced about BOO pounds of seed cotton an acre." This ia a sample letter among hundreds from South? ern farmear. On land where cotton after cotton for years made but 600 pounds of heed cotton an acre, the writer wants to get a crop of corn by the aid of fertilizer only. Regard? ing the soil only aa a place to deposit available piant food for temporary results, and wholly overlooking the greater need for restoring the or? ganic decay that the land had when really new. Following a clean hoed crop that has taken the fertility out of the soil with another clean hoed crop to still further deplete it, and, in fact, as I have often said, merely gambling on the chances. The Williamson formula is an ex? cellent method of trading commercial fertilizers for corn and paying a good price tor all the corn obtained over what the land would make with the aid of a winter cover of crimson clover and some cowpeaa in summer to give it some organic matter on the road to humua. But really, and In accordance with all the experience and experimentation of a generation, profitable crops of corn cannot be .made that way. I have never found that a complete fertilizer ever paid on the corn crop, when we compare the cost with what we can make through good business-like farming on the same land. When Mr. Davis, of Alabama, gets aa big crops of corn as Mr. Williamson at a cost of 8 1-? centa a bushel, and Mr. Collier, of Maryland, gets over 98 bushels of shelled com an acre with only a crim? son clover sod limed, on land that formerly needed a good season to make 25 bushels, It is evident that there is a more economical way to make corn than by relying on an ap? plication of fertilizer costing over $10 an acre, besides taking chances on a dry season that may make the fer? tiliser do ^ ^ m n?fl thon good on a soil evidently deficient in the nec? essary moisture-retaining humus. We buy nitrogen l t a high price when thor< .s : t the slight >st need for buying U when the farmer ready farms instead of gambling with fer? tilizers only. While Mr. Williams does use peas, and gets some organic decay into his soil, and gets good crops of corn, he cannot do it as cheaply as those 1 have mentioned who do not use fertilizers so lavishly. 1 have often cited the example of the best wheat growers in Maryland, who have bought no fertilizer for thirty y**ari but acid phosphate* and that only for the wheat, and who make as many bushels of corn an acre with a clover sod as Mr. Williams does with his fertilizer, and make an average of 40 bushels of wheat per acre. Their scccess shows that good rotative far? ming and humus accumulation in the soil Is far better than trying t3 galva? nize a dead soil into a semblance of life with fertilizers alone. And even if Mr. Williamson do?s get good re? sults on the sandy soil of the uppdr pine belt of South Carolin!.,, 1* does not follow that his fertilizer is the best for the red clay of the Pied? mont country. With a sod of crimson clover and manure to put on it from feeding the abundant forage that can be grown on a Southern cotton farm rightly .managed, one can get a good corn crop and have the soil in better condition for a following small grain crop than if he applied the William? son formula, especially if peas are among the corn. Then even if the Williamson formula is all right in plant food, you can got as much pot? ash, and cheaper, in 100 pounds of muriate of potash DU you g^t in 400 pounds of kainit. Commercial fertil? izers have their use in farming and in some shape we have to use them, bat what we object to is tho erase all over the South for depending solely on fertilisers to get sale (Mops. TIvjsi leave the land no better after every season's purchase of material?ma? terial that need not hava been bough! at all, but which the good farnver gets In abudance wtlhont money and with? out price, and neue of it than tin fertiliser gambler can buy.?
