Singletary of Ochlo- j-7: .tee, was in the City Monday What Kind Of Fertilizer Ought You To Use? Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture Few more important questions are confronting tlie farmers of Oeorgla than how. to utilize fertilizers to the greatest advantage. In attempting to answer this question tests plats are being conducted iii various parts of the state and on different types of soli. Three years' results have been obtained. in south Georgia eleven distinctive areas are being used and the data has reference to corn, cottofi and oatB. The work with each crop is duplicated for accuracy of results. No fertilizer is used on the first Plat. Muriate of potash has been ap plied oil the second plat at the rate of 100 pounds per acre; acid phos phate on the third plat at tho rate of 400 pounds per acre; nitrogen derived from dried blood and applied at the rate, of ISO pounds per acre on the fourth’ plat; the fifth plat was ferliilz- ed with phosphoric acid and potash; the sixth plat with nitl-egeri and pot ash; the seventh plat with nitrogen and phosphoric acid; the eighth plat with nitrogen', phosplfiric acid; and potash, making q com pleter fertilizer; .tho ninth • plat with rock phosphate at the. rate of 3,000 pounds per acre, and the tenth plat with rock phosphate and potash. Observe that the complete fertilizer consisted of 100 pounds of muriate ot potash, .400 pounds of acid phosphato and ISO pounds of dried blood-making in all a gross application of 680 ’pounds per acre. Comparatively little benefit libs been obtained from the use of potash- alofie. Phosphoric acid alone has been uncertain in its performance and “used independently would not have rr.. paid a profit on the application. Ni trdgen alone .has also been erratic though It gave better results oh corn oats and erftton than any other stngl application, and would 'in most in Stances have more than paid, for itsoll When phosphoric add and potasl were combined better results were ot tqined than where they wore usei separately. An increase of as ’mud as 169’.pounds-of cotton per acre rc suited fronj this combination. Whe nitrogen and potash were used tc gethbr'.a more distinctive increase wa shown'than with any other combine tion ub'ed up to this time. Where a complete fertilizer wa used'no better results were obtainei with--corn than with nitrogen am phosphoric acid. Cotton, however showed some increase from the appli cation of -this,'fertilizer, amouritifig iii an average fqr all' south Georgia t< 303 poundk of‘ seed cotton per acre anifxm Tiftop. sandy loam 204 poum per acre. The yield of oats .was i creased from tjie use of a complet fertilizer on ail the test qreas in s Georgia by 7.22'bushels per acre, on Tiftoiv sandy loam by. 13 per nore. • - These reauUs would.indicate th trogen and phosphorite, in the tic^ mentioned can he liscd wit it on corn', cotton and -oatr. / soil types in question, and ala" oomplete fertilizer can bq « s advantage..' - Comparatively little benefit tai’n’od from the hso of rock pliate oj-floats’with-any Of tho cr mentioned.
