LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Raleigh, N. C, February 16, 1916. Hon. "W. a. Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture. Sir: — I herewith transmit the report on the results of the tests of varieties of cotton during the past year, and recommend that it be pub- lished as February, 3916, Bulletin of the Department, Respectfully submitted, C. B. Williams, Chief, Division of Agronomy. Approved for printing: W. A. Graham, Commissioner. ■* REPORT ON VARIETY TESTS OF COTTON FOR 1915 By K. Y. Wixteks and V. K. Herman. Cotton Variety Tests. Cotton varieties have been tested on three experiment fanns of the State for thirteen years. More than one hundred different varieties have been studied in these tests. The varieties are fair representatives of the most productive long-staple upland and short-staple varieties grown in the cotton states. Three varieties have been compared during the entire thirteen years and several have been compared during periods of five years. Results from a one, or even two, year test may be misleading on account of the mixed condition and poor care given most of our cotton seed. The fact that a variety yields highest in one test does not prove it to be the best variety in the test. Some varieties have yielded well one year and poorly the next. Varieties which never lead the test may, by consistent yielding from year to year, produce a higher average yield than a variety which leads the test one year. In recent years our most consistent varieties have been those whicli have received some care in their breeding and handling. A variety which gives a consistently good yield is worth more than one which fluctuates from good to poor. The way to be sure of a good variety is to improve it by selecting good seed in the community where it is to be grown. Results of the Test in 1915. During the past season forty-four varieties of cotton have been tested. Twenty-four varieties were secured out of the State and twenty came from points within the State. A special effort was made to secure representative varieties from the different sections of the State. All of the varieties were included in the test at Raleigh ; but only the most promising for those sections have been included at the Iredell and Edgecombe farms. For instance, the long-staple and big-boll varieties require a longer season than is usually had at the Iredell farm. For this reason only the early varieties were grown there. At the Edgecombe farm, where the season is longer, our best results have been gotten from the large and medium boll, short-stai)le varieties and the early long- staple cottons. The results at this farm have been omitted from this report on account of the irregular stand. A portion of the plats were destroyed by root lice. 6 The Bulletin The Expekiment Station Farm. The cotton varieties were planted in a field of sandy clay loam located about two miles west of Raleigh. The test contained seven long-staple and thirty-seven short-staple varieties. Check rows of Culpepper were included after each ten rows of varieties. Among the varieties were Cleveland Big Boll from five sources, and strains of King from six sources. The Cleveland strains ranged in yield between 452 and 531 pounds of lint per acre. With the exception of two strains, they were quite different in size of plant, shape of leaves, size of bolls and quality of staple. The King strains ranged in yield between 1,058 and 1,417 pounds of seed cotton per acre, a difference of 359 pounds between the lowest and highest. All of these strains showed mixtures, and four were very different in habit of growth, shape of leaves and size of bolls. The results represent conditions which might exist in any variety so generally grown as Cleveland Big Boll and King. Variety names may be misleading unless we secure our seed from known sources. The following tables contain a list of the varieties and data arranged according to yield of lint and seed per acre : The Bulletin a; o < a a.

The Iredell Test Farm. The Iredell Test Farm is located at Statesville, near the western and northern limit of the cotton-growing area of the State. The varieties were planted on a uniform field of Cecil clay, April 10. On account of the short season only the early short-staple varieties were included in this test.

Forty-four cotton varieties were tested on the Experiment Station Farm during the past season. Of this number 37 are short-staple and 7 long-staple varieties. The short-staple varieties ranged in yield be- tween 964 and 1,417 pounds of seed cotton per acre, a difference of 453 pounds between the lowest and the highest yielding variety. This rep- resents a difference in money value of about $24, which is about the cost of producing an acre of cotton under average conditions. The long- staple varieties ranged in yield between 976 and 1,297 pounds of seed cotton per acre, a difference of 321 pounds between the lowest and highest yielding variety. It should be noted in this connection that the highest yielding strains produced a shorter fiber. In a comparison of five strains of Cleveland Big Boll and six strains of King it was found that strains of the same variety may differ in character of plant, size of boll, shape of leaf and yield. Variety names are, therefore, not safe guides to good seed. The best way to be sure of a good strain is to select good seed in the community where they are to be grown. The variety test at the Iredell iarm contained twenty-one short-staple varieties of cotton. These included the earliest medium boll and the small boll varieties. In yielding capacity these varieties range between 370 and 1,261 pounds of seed cotton per acre, a difference of 891 pounds per acre. This represents a difference in money value of about $40 per acre. Plans for Improving Our Cotton Varieties. The Experiment Station is now cooperating with organized groups or communities of cotton growers for the purpose of improving the yield and quality of cotton grown in the State. Two communities have already started the work, and a third has just been organized. The work can be done by any organized community of cotton growers. The best variety of cotton for a community is one that has been chosen on account of its merits, and then further improved by selecting seed from its best plants. With this in mind, the first part of the work consists of a variety test to determine the best variety for the com- munity. The best varieties in the community are grown along with a few promising varieties from other sources. These varieties are grown for comparison on one or more farms of the community. They are tested in a field where each variety may have the same amount of fer- tilizer and cultivation. Some member of the Experiment Station staff will take notes at intervals during the growing period and at harvest time. At harvest time each variety is picked separately and carefully weighed. With the aid of the notes and data on yield and quality of lint, tlie growers of the comnumity choose the variety that is to be grown and improved. The Bulletin 15 When the variety is chosen the work of improvement begins. One farm of the community is selected for the breeding work. The plaut- to-row method of breeding is used and the work is continued in co- operation with tlie Experiment Station until one or more growers of the community are familiar with the value and principles of breeding good seed.

William Bledsoe Gale Eitjhth Di.-vs The infection can be carried for miles down a running stream. If infected hogs are allowed access to the stream of water running through the farm, the stream then becomes a source of disseminating the infection over a wide area. So it is not safe to alloAv hogs to have access to run- ning streams that do not have their origin on the farm. The overflows in the Eastern part of this State are a source of dis- seminating the infection over a wide area. Especially is this so where the dead hogs are not properly disposed of, or where the hogs die in the swamps and no attempt is made to locate and bury them. Often hogs in the free-range territory die from cholera in a running stream or in large swamps and are never seen by their owners. These hogs serve as centers from which infection is scattered broadcast during overflows. Public Roads The public roads are another source of disseminating the infection. Sick hogs often have access to the public roads and leave them infected. It then becomes dangerous to drive well hogs on the public highway. Show Hogs Often hogs contract cholera at shows and when brought back to the farm and turned in the lots with the other hogs, become the agent by which the entire herd is infected. All hogs coming from the shows or new hogs being added to the herd should be held under quarantine at least three weeks before they are allowed to run with the other hogs. Public Stock Yards All public stock yards are infected with hog cholera germs. It is unsafe to purchase hogs from stock yards for breeding or feeding pur- poses. Nor should hogs intended for breeding or feeding purposes be unloaded in pens to be fed unless these pens are thoroughly disinfected. The cars in which the hogs are shipped should be thoroughly disinfected before the hogs are loaded. All hogs unloaded in public stock yards, not intended for immediate slaughter, should be treated with anti-hog cholera serum. Infected Hogs Runniiiir at Large In the territory where live stock run at large, we find a larger per cent of hog cholera. This is due to hogs affected with cholera coming in con- 14 The Bulletin tact with hogs from adjoining farms. In this way the infection is often spread from farm to farm. Visitors — Hog cholera infection can be carried on the shoes and clothes of people. It is unsafe for any one to visit an infected herd and return to their own or any other herd of hogs. Garbage — Uncooked garbage from hotels, restaurants or other sources is dangerous. We know of no instance in this State where uncooked garbage has been fed for any length of time where cholera did not develop. Feed it only to imrauned hogs or have it thoroughly cooked. SUSCEPTIBILITY Young pigs and young shoats are more susceptible than older hogs, but often we find the older hogs the first to succumb to the disease. As to the susceptibility of the different breeds, we do not believe there is any difference. The "scrub" hog and "mule-footed hog" succumb to the disease as readily as the pure breeds. MORTALITY The mortality will vary in different localities and on different farms. When cholera first makes its appearance in a locality the per cent of deaths, as a rule, is higher than it is at the end of the outbreak. The same is also tnie in communities where cholera has appeared for a number of years in succession. The per cent of losses Avill range around fifty per cent in some localities; in others as high as ninety-five per cent. This depends on the virulency of infection and the susceptibility of the hogs. As a rule hogs recovering from cholera are greatly depreciated in value. Unless the hogs are exceptionally valuable ones, it would be more econom- ical to destroy and burn them when they have developed a well defined case of cholera. THE SERUM PLA>T The State Department of Agriculture now owns and operates a modern and well-equipped serum plant. The plant consists of a serum laboratory, virus laboratory, virus hog house, hyper-immune hog house, and about twelve acres of ground devoted to hog lots. The Legislature of 1915 appropriated $5,000 for the production of the serum and reduced the price from one and a fourth cents per cubic centimeter to three-fourths of a cent per cubic centimeter, thus reducing the cost of the scrum to less than it cost to produce it. A]VTI-HOG ( IKM.KRA SERUM In order to make potent anti-hog cholera scrum, il is necessary to select a hog that is "immune" to cholera. Tliis hog is one that has been treated with serum and virus at least twenty-one days, or one that has The Bulletin 15 .jm^ 16 TlIK BULLBTIN jf!!lii!i.s||ii;iiip" a> w o % a 2 00 6 1X4 The Bulletin 17 recovered from an attack of cholera. One attack of cholera confers life immunity. Into this ''immune" hog five cubic centimeters of vims are injected direct into the circulation for every pound of live weight. This hog is then known as hyper-immune. In the course of eight to ten days the hyper-immune is bled by the tail, taking as much blood as the hog will stand. As soon as the hog recovers from the etlect of having a large quantity of blood removed from it, which is about a week, the hog is tlien bled again and this is continued until four bleedings have been made. Then the hog is re-hyperimmun- ized and bled four more times. This is continued until the tail becomes short, when the final bleeding is made by cutting the throat, and all of the blood is removed. The blood from the tail and throat of the hyper-immunized hog is defibernated (the clot is removed) leaving the liquid portion of the blood which is the serum. To this serum is added enough carbolic acid to make one-half of a one per cent solution. The acid is added as a pre- sen-ative. This serum is a preventive to hog cholera and cannot produce hog cholera because it contains the anti-bodies which are antagonistic to the germs of hog cholera. There are thousands of dollars spent annually for so-called sure hog cholera "cures." Agricultural papers are full of very attractive adver- tisements of fake remedies. To spend money for such "fakes" is nothing less than throwing it away. It would be well to bear in mind that all products advertised as "cures" for hog cholera are worthless; also that a large per cent of the serum and vaccines will not prevent hog cholera. Anti-hog cholera serum, if ])roperly prepared and administered, will, without a doubt, prevent hog cholera, but very little is claimed for it as a curative agent. Virus The virus used to liy])cr-iinmunize the immune hog is secured by in- jecting a small amount of virus (the liquid portion of the blood) from an acute case of hog cholera into a susceptible hog, or by exposing a susceptible hog to hog cholera infection. "When the hog has developed an acute case of cholera, the hog is bled by the throat and the blood is then defibernated. The virus or liquid ])Oition of the blood is injected direct into the circulation of the immune hog. Ways of Vnccinatiny There are two ways by which hogs may be vaccinated with anti-hog cholera serum, the Serum Alone Method and the Semm Simultaneous Method. The Serum Alone Method consists of injecting the required amount of serum into the tissues of the hogs with a hypodermic syringe. IS The Bulletin The Bulletin 19 u o o o o f/1 t-. c o r— I d 20 The Bulletin The Serum Simultaneous jNIethod consists of injecting the serum as in the Serum Alone Method, but at the same time a small amount of vitus is injected. The Serum Alone Method only confers immunity for a very short period, varying from four to eight weeks, whereas the Serum Simul- taneous Method confers immunity, varying from a few months in very young pigs to life immunity in older hogs. As- there is considerable danger attached to the Seruui Simultaneous Method, it is not safe to put this method of treatment into the hands of persons who have not had special training for this purpose. This is so because a small per cent of the hogs treated by this method develop hog cholera and die. This is so when the method is applied by men who have had long training and wide experience in using the serum and virus. We think it would be a great mistake to distribute the virus with the serum Fig. 11. Injecting serum into armpit over the State to any one applying for it. If this was done we would expect to see the entire State sooner or later "fired" with hog cholera. There is no danger of producing hog cholera by using the Serum Alone Method, and for this reason we think it is the oidy melhod In jihice in the hands of the untrained. The serum is sent direct to any one ordening it, witli full directions for using. If the directions are followed closely good results will follow. It is always better, whenever possible, to have some one inject the senun wlio has at least seen it injected, if they have not done .so themselves. Our advice would be to employ a graduate vetcriiuirian when ])0ssible and have him inject the scrum for you. The Bulletin 21 liG. 12. Bleeding virus hog by throat 22 The Bulletin Jl<>w and Wlioii to Use Seruin The Serum Alone Method only gives temporary immunity, lasting from four to eight Aveeks, an average of about six weeks. It is rather ex- pensive to keep a herd of hogs immuned by this method. We believe it would be cheaper where a permanent herd is to be kept for breeding pur- poses to use the Simultaneous or Double treatment. This would insure protection at all times to the foundation of the herd. The owner of a herd of hogs should not delay any longer than possible in securing the serum and injecting his hogs when it becomes known that they have been exposed to cholera, or when it is known that cholera is in his community, if there is any possibility of the infection gaining entrance to his herd through any of the many channels of entrance. When the serum is used shortly before or very soon after the hogs are exposed to cholera infection the per cent protected is often as high as a hundred, but usually ranges around 95 per cent. After cholera has gained entrance in a herd and a portion of the hogs are showing physical or thermal symptoms of cholera, the per cent saved of the remaining apparently well hogs will not be so high, but a good per cent of those showing no physical or thermal symptoms will be protected. When a large number of hogs in a herd become sick and begin to die it is pretty safe to say that they are aifected with hog cholera. Immediate steps should be taken to secure the serum and inject the remaining well hogs. To inject the serum one must have a hypodermic syringe (preferably a 20 or 30 cc. glass barreled one). This syringe should be sterilized by being boiled in water for fifteen or twenty minutes. Before using, the mouth of the serum bottle should be wiped off with a five per cent solu- tion of carbolic acid and the serum then poured into the receptacle with a cover. Both the receptacle and cover should have been boiled in water for fifteen or twenty minutes and allowed to cool before pouring the serum into it. Keep the cover on all the time except when the serum is being poured into or taken from the receptacle. The hands of the person injecting the serum should be washed before beginning and kept clean all the time. Do not allow the syringe or needle to come in contact with soiled objects. The serum is injected into the tissues either on tlie inside of the thigh or into the loose tissues between the foreleg and body. The needle is inserted perpendicularly to the depth of one-half or one inch, depending upon the size of the hog. The serum is llion injected and the needle withdrawn. Before the needle is inserted the skin at tlie point selected should be washed with soap and water and then scrubbed with a reliable disinfectant, such as a five per cent solnlinn of carbolic ju-id, lysol or creolin. ITogs in infected herds showing a temperature above 104 degrees F. are considered to be affected with choler;i. The hogs showing higli tempera- 'J'lIK llri.l.KTIX 24 The Bulletin m a a V >> a a l-l Oh 2 The Bulletin 25 tures should be given a double dose of serum; apparently well hogs in infected herds should be given more serum than hogs in non-infected herds. (See dose table.) Tlio Sonim as a Pun- f<»r Hoe: Cholera No claim is made that the serum ^vill ''cure" a well developed case of hog cholera. A small per cent of the hogs showing a temperature above 104 degrees Fahrenheit will, if given a large dose of serum, make a recovery. We believe the per cent of recoveries will justify the expense of the serum used. Vaccinating Infected Herds Do not fail to take the temperature of all hogs in infected herds. Those showing a temperature of 104 degrees or higher should be given a double dose of serum. Never use the Simultaneous treatment in infected herds (they already have enough infection). Hogs injected with a protective dose of serum and left in infected lots or pens for three weeks will, in all probability, contract enough infection to produce the same immunity as those treated with the Simultaneous method. However, one can never be sure of this. The Dose of Serum Care should be used in estimating the weight of every liog injected because the amount of serum to be used will depend on the weight of the hog and not on the age. Always be certain not to underestimate the weight ; it is much better to overestimate than to underestimate. If the weight is underestimated and too small a dose of serum is given, the hog will not be protected from cholera. There is no danger in giving an overdose of serum ; the larger the dose the more certain the protection. Avoid turning the hogs into muddy, filthy or dusty lots after they are injected. It is better to keep them in a lot for several days until the puncture wound caused by the needle has had time to heal. If the wound becomes infected abscesses may follow. When abscesses form they should be opened and washed with an antiseptic solution. A complete and accurate record should be kept by every farmer using the serum. lie should record the number of hogs that have died from hog cholera at the time the serum is injected; also keep a record of the num- ber of sick hogs in the infected lots; how many treated with serum; and the number of both treated and not treated that die. Don't fail to take the temperature of all hogs in an infected herd. Those that show a tem- perature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit are considered affected with hog cholera. Tested Scnirn All serum should be tested for potency before it is used in the field. Serum sent out by this Department is tested in the following manner: 26 The Bulletin to 3 iQ The lirLLETiN 27 The bleedings from the tail ami the final lik-cding i)y the tiiroat of a number of hypi'rimmune liogs are tiioroughly mixed, whieh is then tested on suseeptible pigs. The test is made by injeeting two eubie eentimeters of virns into each of four susceptible pigs (25 to 'i') ]>oun(ls) preferably from the same litter. These pigs are then injected witii diiferent amounts of serum. Xo. 1 would get two cubic centimeters of virus and twenty cubic centimeters o{ serum ; Xo. 2, fifteen eui)ic centimeters of serum and two cubic centimeters of virus; Xo. 3, ten cubic centimelers of serum and two cubic centimeters of virus; Xo. 4 would get two cubic centimeters of virus and no serum. If No. 4 dies within fifteen days and Xos. 1, 2, and ;> show no signs of sickness, we then know that the virus used was viru- lent and that the serum protected Xos. 1, 2. and 3 from what would have been a fatal dose of virus.

CORN VARIETY TESTS FOR 1915. By U. Y. WiMEKS, G. M. Gakukn, amj Buxton Wiim:. OuK Corn Chop. The 1015 corn crop of the State is estimated at 64,050,000 bushels, an average yield of 21 bushels per acre. Compared with the estimated yield for 19i;3 this shows an increase of 1.5 bushels per acre. This amount seems small when the increase for one acre is considered; but it amounts to an increase of 4,500,000 bushels in the corn crop of the State. The average corn yield for the State is less by 7.2 bushels per acre than that of the entire country. When one compares the present average yield for the State with yields from individual fanns or even the average for the country it indicates our future possibilities. Most of our increase in corn yield has come from the use of better methods of culture, rotations, and the more intelligent use of fertilizers. Our energies have been used to make the soil a' better place for growing corn. ^lore recently Ave have learned to improve the seed.s so that they will produce better crops on these soils. Some varieties are better producers than others and certain plants of each variety are better pro- ducers than others. With this in mind, one should secure the best variety and save seed from its best plants. It is the object of this T^ULLETiN to suggest 3 few of the best corn varieties for the different sec- tions of the State. The Corn Variety Tests. Twenty-four of corn varieties were grown for comparison at six of the State Test Farms. "With the exception of two extra varieties at the Ire- dell Farm, the same varieties were grown at each of the farms. The varieties were planted in duplicate series which together made one- twentieth of an acre. The rows were made four feet apart and the seed were dropped by hand at intervals of two feet. The plants were thinned to one stalk per hill. Thk Varikties. Among the varieties tested are two strains of yellow corn and twenty- two of white. One of the yellow corns, Jarvis' Golden, is a two-eared corn, and the other, Wyatt's Improved Yellow, is a one-eared corn. The twenty-two white corns include a few large one-eared varieties, several medium to large two-eared varieties and several of the smaller prolific varieties. The varieties are listed in Table I, according to the average number of ears per stalk. The values for average number and weight of ears per stalk is an average of results from five of the test farms. The Bulletin TABLE I.— AVERAGE NUMBER AND WEIGHT OF EARS PER STALK.

The Buncombe Test Farm is located in the Swannanoa Valley about eleven miles east of Asheville. The farm is about 2,400 feet above sea level. According to the U. S. Weather Bureau report* on this section the average date for the last killing frost in spring is April 17, and the average date for the first killing frost in fall is October 3. This gives an average of 169 days between the spring and fall frosts. During the past season the rainfall for this section was 40.22 inches, 9.34 less than normal. Fifty per cent of the total rainfall was well distributed throughout the corn growing season. The soil of this farm on which the tests were made is classified as Porter's Loam. The varieties and results of this test are listed in Table II, according to yield of shelled com per acre. In this test the varieties range in yield betw^een 28.2 and r)0.6 bushels of shelled corn per acre, Avith a difference of 22.4 bushels betw^een the lowest and liighest yielding variety. The two highest yielding varieties, Latham's Double and Southern Beauty, were rather low yielders at this fami in 1914. 'D. 8. Weather Bureau, ClimBtological Data. N. 0. Section, 1915.

For this reason results from a series of tests should furnish a more reliable comparison. Table III contains compiled results of twelve varieties which have been tested at the Hunconibe Farm durinir the same five years. The varieties are arranged in order of yield of .shelled corn per acre. The average yields range between 28.5 and 32.1 bushels per acre, a difference of 3.6 bushels between the lowest and highest yielding variety. The difference between the highest ;iiid lowest is rather small here, and the differences in the first three or four varieties is too small to be considered of much importance. The Iredell Test Farm. The Iredell Test Farm is located in the western portion of the Pied- mont section, about two miles northwest of Statesville. This section had unusually good conditions for corn growing during the past season. The rainfall amounted to 59.4, 8.63 inches above normal. About fifty-five per cent of the rainfall came during the growing season. The corn varieties were planted in a uniform field of Cecil Clay Loam. The varieties and results of this test are listed in Table IV, accord- ing to yield of shelled corn per acre. At the Iredell farm the varieties ranged in yield between 42.6 and 60.S bushels per acre, a difierence of 18.2 bushels between the lowest and highest yielding variety. At 75 cents per bushel this gives a difference in money value of $13.65 per acre between the lowest and highest yield- ing variety. The two leading varieties of this test, Jarvis' Golden Prolific and Southern Beauty, are hv.ing bred in the State. Both of these varieties have been good yielders in previous tests at this farm. Since twelve of the corn varieties have been tested at the Iredell farm during the same five years a comparison of their average yields should be of value here. Table V contains a list of these varieties arranged in order of their average yields. The average yields range between 33.3 and 45.7 bushels ijer acre, with a difference of 12.4 bushels between the lowest and highest yielding variety. In this series of tests the more prolific vareties are the highest yielders. The two varieties which lead in this series of tests do not lead in the production of ears per stalk. Southern Beauty and Weekley's Improved rarely produce more than two ears per stalk. Such results suggest that it would be best to select corn in this section for two medium-sized ears rather than for the larger number of small ears. This matter is discussed more fully in another portion of this Bulletin. The Central Farm. The Central Farm is located in the eastern portion of the Piedmont section, about two miles west of Kaleigh. The past season in this sec- tion has been unusually dry for the best growth of corn.

The soil of this farm is of the Durham Sandy Loam type. The plat used for the com variety tests is low in fertility, though it furnishes a fair repre- sentative of the soils of this section. The varieties and results of this test are included in Table VIII. At this farm the varieties ranged in yield between 19.4 and 30.4 bushels of shelled corn per acre, a difference of 11 bushels between the highest and lowest yielding variety. Tests have not been made at this farm a sufficient number of years to determine the varieties best suited to the section. The Edgecombe Test Farm. The Edgecombe Farm is located in the upper western portion of the Coastal i)lain, about seven miles southeast of Rocky Mount. The soil used for the corn variety test is of the Norfolk Sandy Loam type. Although the rainfall was somewhat less than normal the past season has been unusually good for corn growing in tliis section.

The lowest yielding variety produced 3G.2 hushels of shelled corn per acre, 27.2 hushels less than the highest, in the test at this farm all the varieties produced a higher ninnher of ears per stalk and a fewer num- hcr of harren stalks than at any of the other farms. The two-cared varieties are decidedly in the lead in this section. In four previous tests, twelve of the above varieties have been com- pared for grain and stover production. The compiled results of these tests have been included in Tahle X. In this section the series of five tests has given first place to ^Marlboro Prolific with Bigg's Seven-ear a close second. Boone County White, a variety which has ranked well in tests in the western part of the State, has given the lowest average yield here. The "Washington Test Farm. The Washington Farm is located in the northeastern portion of the Coastal plain, about eleven miles north of Belhaven. The soil at this farm is muck. The muck extends down two to three feet to a fine sandy clay subsoil. The farm has recently been cleared and is not yet in a good stage of cultivation. The corn varieties gave a fair stand early in the season; but failed to develop except in irregular spots. The spots are said to be places where stumps and logs were burned. Some of these spots were still marked by partly burned logs or stumps, while others showed no evidence of having been burned. These spots were so distributed about the plats as to make a comparison of yield unfair. Xotes taken on portions of the plats away from the spots rank Latham's Double, Coker's Williamson and Wannamaker's Prolific among the best in the test. ReLATIOX of XtMHEK OF EaRS Pek StaI.K TO YiELD. At present there seems to be a difference of opinion in regard to the value of one-earned, two-eared, and the more prolific corns in the different sections of the State. Until recently, the one-eared varieties have been most popular in the extreme Avestem and eastern portions of the. State. More recently the one-eared varieties are being replaced by the two-eared and more prolific varieties. Whether this is due to natural merits of the i)rolific varieties or to the fact that more attention has been giving to their breeding, has not been determined. The fact remains that the prolific varieties have led in all of the tests except in those located at the Buncombe Farm. At the Buncombe Farm, Boone County AVhite came first in an average of five years' tests, but gave only I a very slight lead over the prolific varieties. Com varieties, such as Biggs' Seven-ear and Batts' Four-ear, have no doubt been originated with the idea of increasing the yield by increasing 18 The Bulletin H m P4 Eh 1^ PQ O O P4 o p o o O H I—* < > O BO 03 o s OC iC t^ — c- oc c- cc oc c- (N t- UJOQ paiiaqs erage Five ears JO sjaqsna ^HClc5000co»-iOa^»<»^c3co JBAO^g JO spnnod ■* N OC (M_ ■» PI O J aioo paiptis cacccst^t^ireo — o — cot^ W5 JO siaqsng ooo«>ira>oo«o>OTj0*00»COOw?00«0»0 jaAO^s ■» lO to O t~ — ■ .O t^ (M -H O t^ *-i»oot^--^T)cDc4«-40oOkOkrdO'Ti4 2 njoo panaqs (M^T(O^^M JO, 1 VV>\\ oi Xaipjooay '}(an^ ^^ ^^ •■^ The Bulletin 19 the maiib(u- o( cars par stalk. ISelcftin^ may go too far iu this directiou. Since more than 50 per cent of the corn grown in the State is harvested by hand, the extra hibor and waste necessary in the harvesting of a large number of small ears and nubbins is very evident. The larger number of ears arc usually accompanied by a large quantity of damaged grains. During the past season data has been secured on the number and weight of good ears for each variety tested. Since the varieties hold practically the same relation on each farm, the results from all of the farms have been averaged and arranged in Table XL The varieties are arranged according to percentages of nubbins by count. Biggs' Seven-ear gave the highest percentage of nubbins and First Generation Cross No. 182 the lowest. Xearly 43 per cent of the ears borne by Biggs' Seven-ear were nubbins, and their weight amounted to 28.79 per cent of the total weight of ears. These results suggest some of the advantages that may come from selecting our best two-eared varieties for increase yield of grain per stalk, rather than increasing unduly the number of ears per stalk. The question is often raised as to which is the best for ensilage, the large one-eared corns or the prolific sorts. In answering this question one should consider both the quantity and quality of material secured from each. Although the large one-eared corns may produce a larger quantity of ensilage the quality and food value is not so good as that from the prolific varieties. The results of the variety tests furnish some data for thi^ comparison. Although no weights were taken at the ensilage stage, weights of the dried stover and ears should furnish a fair comparison. Weights from four of the most prolific varieties and four of the largest one-eared varieties are compared in Table XII. The four prolific varieties gave an average yield of 2,6G9 pounds of dry stover and 2,868 pounds of ears with a total yield of 5,537 pounds of dry stover and ears. The four one-eared varieties produced an average of 2,425 pounds of dried stover and 2,247 pounds of ears, giving a total weight of 4,672 pounds per acre. In these tests the prolific varieties have produced a larger quantity of ears and stover. Eureka, one of the popu- lar ensilage corns, produced 3,755 pounds of dry stover and 2,521 pounds of ears, while Wcekley's Improved, a prolific variety, yielded 2,775 pounds of dry stover and 2,957 pounds of ears per acre. Though Eureka produced more stover by 98Q pounds, Weekley's Improved yielded more ears by 436 pounds per acre. Although the total yield from Weeklcy's Improved is less than Eureka by 540 pounds per acre, its food value is greater on account of its higher production of grain. Other large varieties would no doubt yield more ensilage than the one- eared varieties of this test. The larger corns, however, produce ensilage of lower food value on account of their low yield of grain. In such comparison one should consider the total food value rather than amount of ensilage secured. The above results indicate that the prolific varie- ties will produce a greater quantity of actual food per acre. 20 The Bulletin TABLE XI.— AVERAGES SHOWING RELATION OF GOOD EARS TO NUBBINS OF THE VARIETIES TESTED.

BUBGE8S, STATE AGRONOMIST. Before cnti'iiiii;- ujnm a discussion of this important subject it will be well to call attention to two fundamental propositions to which all informed men readily assent without question. First. No plant can be grown to maturity without phosphorus in the soil solution with which the plant is fed. No plant can ripen seed without the aid of phosphorus, which is necessary to the formation of the germ cells. Phosphorus is, therefore, essential to all normal plant growth and development. Second. None of our field crops can reach normal maturity without calcium or lime in the soil solution with which the plant is fed. No new jilant cells can be formed without the aid of calcium or lime, usually in the form of calcium phosphate. Some plans (as the legumes) are called "lime plants," so necessary is lime to their normal growth. Calcimn, or lime, is, therefore, essential to the normal development of our ordi- nary crops. It is also a matter of common observation that crops grown in lime or calcareous soils are better nourished and are more capable of with- standing untoward climatic conditions, as drought and early frost, than are crops not so well supplied with lime. It is plain, therefore, that both calcium and phosphorus must be present in the soil at the same time, contributing jointly and simultaneously to the normal develop- ment of plant life. The above facts have been matters of common knowledge so long as to have become axiomatic. We will now look over some of the litera- ture bearing on. this subject and see what the most eminent authorities in this and other countries have to say about it. The value of lime as an aid to crop production was known and prac- ticed in the time of Pliny, and has been increasing in interest and value from his time until the present day. There are, perhaps, a thousand reliable experiments on record that show the use of lime and ground limestone to have very greatly increased crop yields. Dr. Hilgard, in his excellent work on soils, states : "The instant change of vegetation when we pass from a noncalcareous region to one liaving calcareous soils has already been alluded to, but it is not neces- sary to be a botanist to see the change in the PROSPERITY of the rural population as one enters the LIME DISTRICT. The single log cabin, with probably a wooden barrel terminating the mud-plastered chimney, 6 The Bulletin is replaced, first, by double log houses, then by frame, and, farther on, by brick buildings, with other unmistakable evidences of prosperity. Thus this is seen in passing from the mountainous regions of Kentucky into the blue-gi*ass country, which is throughout underlaid Avith calca- reous formations. Thus, likewise, in crossing the strike of the calcareous formations of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, or other regions where the underlying formations of calcium have contributed to the formation of the soils, as compared with the adjacent districts where this is not the case. This and other illustrations give rise to the proverb that a "Lime country is a rich country." EFFECT OF CALCIUM CAKBOATE ON THE ACID PHOSPHATE OF THE SOIL IX THE PKESENCE OF IRO> AND ALIMIMTI OXIDES We will now discuss the effect of lime in the soil on the availability of soluble phosphoric acid, especially where the soil is heavily charged with the oxides of iron and aluminum. Practically all of the soils of North Carolina, and especially those of the Piedmont and mountain sections, are derived from rocks carrying very large amounts of iron and almiiinum. Leading constituents of clayey soils everywhere are sili- cates and hydrated oxides of aluminum, and the red and yellow colors in all soils and subsoils are due, generally, to the presence of iron oxides. All of our piedmont soils are heavily charged with iron and aluminum compounds, and our coastal plains soils are also well supplied with these chemical bodies. The direct effect, therefore, of these oxides on the solu- ble phosphoric acid of the soil is well worth our careful consideration. In E. S. R.,* Vol. 28, Xo. 3, we find a report of pot experiments with wheat which show that the addition of lime increased the avail- ability of phosphoric acid in such relatively insoluble phosphates as wavellite, an aluminum phosphate, and vivianite, an iron phosphate. Mr. James E. Llalligali of the Louisiana Experiment Station, in his work on "Soil Fertility and Fertilizers," states, page 237 : "Most soils contain iron and aluminum which are united with more or less phos- phoric acid. These phosphates are very SLIGHTLY soluble in soil solutions, and the addition of LIME LIBERATES SOME OF THE PHOSPHORIC ACID by combining with part of the iron and alu- minum phosphates." In Bulletin N^o. 46 of the Rhode Island Experinn'ut Station, Dr. Wheeler says, in his discussion of the chemical action of lime on soils, "If lime is present in a soil to which ordinary commercial fertilizer, dissolved bono black, dissolved bone, phosphoric asid or double super- phosphates have been added, it is ]ir(ibable that some of the soluble phos- phoric acid will furtlicr coiiibinc with lime, in which condition it may be expected to bo MORE READILY AVAILABLE to plants llian would have been the ca.se had the lime been absent and a more favor- • Experiment Station Rcporla. The Bulletin 7 able opportunity Itceii given tor ALL of the i)liosphoric aeid, not quickly utilized by the plants, to combine with the iron and aluniinuni oxides." Dr. Wheeler further states, in E. S. K., Vol. 18, No. 7, that "In soils deficient in or devoid of carbonate of lime, but well sup]di<'(l with the o.xides of iron and aluminum, LIME MAY EXTEND THE PERIOD OF EFFICIENCY OF TJIE SOLUBLE PIIOSPIFATES, POSSI- BLY BY COMBINING WITH .MFCll OF TIIK PHOSPHORIC ACID AT ONCE, AND THUS HOLDING IT IN A MOKE AS- SIMILABLE COMBINATION THAN IF IT WERE POSSIBLE FOR IT ALL TO UNITE HIMEDIATELY WITH THE IKON AND ALUMINUM OXIDES." Professor Hilgard, in discussing the relative availabilities of certain forms of phosphorus, states : "On soils containing large amounts of iron and aluminum oxides a high per cent of lime carbonate may offset the small ])er cent of phos))horic acid, a]>|»arentlv, bv bringing about GKEATEK AVAILABILITY. In general, we'find\hat a lower per- centage of potash, phosphoric acid, and nitrogen are adequate when a large proporition of lime carbonate is present. On the other hand, VERY LARGE PERCENTAGES OF FINELY DIVIDED FER- RIC^ HYDRATE, ESPECIALLY IN THE ABSENCE OF LIME CARBONATE, RENDERS EVEN^ LARGE SUPPLIES OF PHOS- PHORIC ACID INERT AND USELESS BY^ THE FORMATION OF IN^SOLUBLE FERRIC PHOSPHATES. ALUMINUM HY- DRATE ACTS IN A SIMILAR MANNER." Lucius L. Van Slyke, of the Geneva Experiment Station, New York, says: "Calcium compounds, especially hydrates and carbonates, change insoluble phos])hates into forms that can be more readily utilized as plant food. This action is based on the following chemical facts: the phosphates of iron and aluminum are more or less prevalent in the soil. These compounds become soluble only with extreme slowness under ordinary conditions. Calcium compounds, especially hydrates and carbonates, change these insoluble phosidiates into tricalcium ])hos- phates which are more readily siduble in water containing carbon di- oxide, as in the case of ordinary soil water. The api)lication of the calcium compounds mentioned is, therefore, of marked value in this way in case of soils rich in iron and aluminum compounds and poor in calcium carbonate." The al>ove is the exact condition found in most of the soils of North Carolina. They are low in lime carbonate content and high in iron and aluminum oxide content. Dr. Van Slyke further states: "The extent and value of the change involved in this action of certain calcium compounds has not been suffi- ciently appreciated. !Most agricultural writers advise against the use of calcium compounds in soils where s(duble calcium phosphate (super- phosphate) is used on the ground that PHOSPHORIC ACID AV I LL . BE RENDERED LESS EFFICIENT AS PLANT FOOD. This 8 The Bulletin objection HAS BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED, AS EXPERI- MENTS HAVE SHOWN. It has been demonstrated that in the pres- ence of an abundance of calcium carbonate smaller percentages of nitro- gen, phosphorus, and potassium compounds are generally required for crop production than when calcium is deficient. The presence of cal- cium carbonate is of especial value in preventing the formation of the insoluble iron and aluminum phosphates." The above may help to explain why very heavy applications of acid phosphate have been made to certain North Carolina soils with relatively indifferent results. EFFECT OF CALCIUM CAKBONATE ON ACID PHOSPHATE IN THE SOIL WHEN THE PRESENCE OF IRON AND ALU.UINITM OXIDES ARE NOT TAKEN INTO THE CONSIDERATION A large number of our most eminent authorities on agricultural science have found, by observation and experiment, that the presence of lime carbonate in the soil exerts a most favorable action not only on the natural phosphates, but also on those applied artificially in the form of commercial fertilizers. Should lime carbonate produce a nega- tive effect on the phosphates of the soil, rendering them insoluble and unavailable to the plant, then a "lime country," instead of being a "rich country," would be the poorest country imaginable. In E. S. R., Vol. 20, No. 2, Messrs. Guthrie and Cohen, in reporting an experiment on the effect of lime on the various soil constituents, state: "The amount of water soluble plant food, however, was larger in .the limed than in the unlimed soil, but only in the sandy soil did the liming increase the proportion of water soluble pliosj)horic acid and potash over that originally present in the soil." In E. S. R., Vol. 26, No. 4, H. K. Vippond reports an experiment testing the availability of phosphoric acid in the soil as follows : "The general conclusion reached was that a fair amount of lime in the soil assured a fair availability of phosphoric acid." In Bulletin No. 90 of the Tennessee Experiment Station, Dr. C. A. Moores reports the results of a series of tests in the use of acid phos- phate with and without lime, and in all cases and under varying condi- tions there was a greater crop production from acid phosphate on limed land than on land that was not limed. In E. S. R., Vol. 18, No. 7, Messrs. Wheeler and Adams, of the Rhode Lsland Experiment Station, in reporting the tests of nine phosphates, found, as a rule, that soluble phosphates were more I'lTcctivc on limed than on unlimed soils. Lime, INSTEAD OF PROVING INJURI- OUS IN CONNECTION WITH SOLUPLE PHOSPHATES, AS IS OFTEN ALLEGED, PROVED DEC^JDFDLY HELPFUL IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES, and even in many inshiiu'es .to plants which were not particularly in need of liming." In 1900 the Rliodo Island Experiment Station concluded a series of experiments in the u.sc of acid j)hosplKite i>n limed and unlimed soils TiiK Blli.ktix 9 with the following ivsults : "In 1SU4 the limed land produced 395 pounds of corn to the acre, the unlinied 320. The limed land produced 315 pounds stover, the unlinied 255. From 189G-18D9 the total hay pro- duced on limed land was 2,021 pounds, and on the unlinied land S95 pounds. In 1900 the limed land produced 550 pounds of corn to the acre, the unlinied 496; in 1900 the corn stover produced on limed land was ()66 pounds, un uiilimcd 592 pounds." This Station, comnientin^ on certain other fertilizer results, states: "Double superphosphates j)articularly, and, in some instances, dissolved bone black and acid phosphate, proved relatively inefhcient on unlinied land, while basic slag has proved throughout to be a highly efficient phos])hatic manure. Its relative efficiency has been particularly high where those plants have been grown which are helped by liming. This is doubtless due in part to the fact that it contains far more lime than bone meal or iioats." In E. S. R., Vol. 2, page 12, Dr. Kellner, in reporting the results of experiments in the use of lime in preserving the assimilability of phos- phoric acid, states : ''The results of these experiments prove plainly that in the to]> soil of the paddy field the presence of lime had an action DKCIDEDLY BENEFICIAL TO THE PRESERVATION OF THE ASSIMILABILITY OF THE PHOSPHORIC ACID AP- PLIED IN THE SOLUBLE FORM, and that, under the conditions of the experiment, the maximum effect was obtained with from one to two and one-half per cent of lime in the air-dried soil. Where one per cent of lime was added there was nearly twice as much phosphoric acid soluble in ammonium citrate solution as where no lime was added; and it even appears that upon a longer action of the lime, after two months, some of the phosphorus PREVIOUSLY PRECIPITATED IN A MORE INSOLUBLE FORM WAS RENDERED SOLUBLE IN CI- TRATE SOLUTION BY THE PRESENCE OF TWO AND ONE- HALF PER CENT OF LIME. Dr. Kellner adds that "In the ma- jority of cases, as in the sandy, clayey or ordinary loam soils of our paddy fields, a moderate percentage of lime applied previous to the application of superphosphate will certainly secure a good effect of its phosphoric acid on the crop, especially if the soils are ferruginous and will otherwise favor the formation of the less assimilable basic phos- phates of iron and aluminum. For the same reasons, in every limed soil, superphosphates are sure to have a good effect." Dr. G. A. Frapps, of the Texas Experiment Station, in Bulletin 178, states: "When nitrogen and potash are applied, the addition of carbon- ate of lime at the rate of one-half of one per cent, or five tons an acre, increased the size of the crop and the amount of phosphoric acid with- drawn from the soil phosphates on six soils tested in pot experiments. The effect of the lime was small at first, but usually increased with suc- cwding crops. With the six soils, which gave up phosphoric acid equal to from five to eighteen bushels of corn an acre per crop, the addition 10 The Bulletin of carbonate of lime caused an increase in the (juantity of pliosplioric acid taken up equal to from three to seven bushels an acre per crop. "The i)resence of carbonate of lime or vegetable matter may bring about a difference in the quantity of phosphoric acid assimilated by the plants from soils containing equal quantities of active phosphoric acid. The addition of carbonate of lime or of vegetable matter had practi- cally no effect upon the quantity of active phosphoric acid remaining in the soil at the end of the experiment. The phosphoric acid removed in the cropping also had practically no effect upon the quantity of phos- phoric acid remaining in the soil at the end of the experiment. The active phosphoric acid in the soils used varied from fifteen to twenty- seven parts per million. The phosphoric acid taken up by the plants was evidently drawn from the more insoluble phosphates. "Carbonate of lime caused a gain in phosphoric acid taken up. In all cases the gain ranged from 5 per cent on soil No. 895, with single application of lime, to nearly 95 per cent on soil 1145 with double application of lime. Except in two instances, the gains were consider- able. THE EFFECT OF LIME HAS BEEX TO DECIDEDLY lA^CREASE THE ASSIMILABILITY OF PHOSPHORIC ACID. "The phosphoric acid absorbed by the plants from the soils depends not only on the form of the phosphoric acid in the soil, but also on the presence of other substances such as carbonate of lime and organic matter. Soils 895 and 1145 are acid, but the carbonate of lime had no greater effect upon their phosphoric acid than on soils 892 and 893, which are not acid. "It is, of course, impossible to state definitely whether the phosphoric acid was rendered more available, or whether the crops took up more phosphoric acid because the conditions were made more favorable by the addition. The effect, however, is the same, viz., Til ROUGH THE ADDITION OF CARBONATE OF LIME TO THE SOIL THE PLANTS CONSUMED MORE PHOSPHORIC ACID."

Thorne, of the Ohio Kxperinient The liii.i.KTTX 11 Station, ill an address before the Pennsylvania State Boaivl of Agricul- ture at llarrisburg, was asked l>y a farmer wlietlicr there would Ui any injurious effect from mixing acid phosjihate with limestone and wood ashes. Dr. Tliorne replied: "Xo. no injurious effect to the acid phos- phate. You should nol mix nitrate of soda witii it, but the phosphoric acid will not suffer any harm.*' On February 2!)th of this year we asked I)r. Lining L. \'an Slyke, of the Geneva E.\])eriment Station, Xew York, whether, in his opinion, detrimental results would foHow mixing f!00 j)()unds of ground limestone, 400 i)Ounds of acid pliosphate, and 200 pounds of cotton-seed meal, thus making a fertilizer mixture with ground limestone substituted for pot- ash. To our iiKjuiry, Dr. \'an Slyke repdied : "The mixture of 600 pounds of ground limestone. 400 pounds of acid phosphate, and 200 pounds of cotton-seed meal can be made without objection if the mix- ture is made within a few days previous to application to the soil." There is no higher authority on soil chemistry in the United States than Dr. Van Slyke. In his discussion of the effects of carbonates of lime on the soil, Prof. J. S. Brogdon. of Atlanta, Ga., Secretary Chemical Industries, Georgia Chamber of Commerce, and of the Georgia Section of the A. C. S., agrees with Dr. Van Slyke in saying "when acid jihosphate is api)lied to the soil, if there is a deficiency of carbonate of lime in the soil, the phosphoric acid will combine with the iron and aluminum of the soil to form the phosphates of iron and alnmiiiuni ; but in soils con- taining any reasonable amount of lime, dicalcium* i)hosphate will be formed. The former are of much lower solubility than the latter, con- sequently their phosjihoric acid is much slower in reaching the plant. Applications of carbonate of lime are of great value on soils because they form DICALCIUM PHOSPHATES, and so increase the amount of phosphoric acid soluble in water. "As has been previously mentioned, ground limestone has no tendency to absorb moisture from the atmosphere, while acid jihosphate has a de- cided tendency in that direction, due to the fact that free phosphoric acid easily ab.sorbs moisture from the atmosphere. Acid phosi)hate which analyzed 18 per cent in the i>ile, in one instance, proved to be strongly acid, and when reduced to 16 jx'r cent by the use of ground limestone the most delicate chemical test failed to find the slightest trace of free acid, and on account of this there was a decided t(Midency for the acid ])hosphat<' to remain dry, even tlniugli it was exposed to damp atmosj)here. "A mixture of 80 per cent pliosphate, 20 per cent ground limestone, covering some fifty analyses, may be summarized in saying that the amount of moisture remainded unchanged, that the total phosj)horic acid was not affected, whereas the water soluble was found to decrease and the citrate solubles found to increase the same amount, that biung approximately 6 per cent, this change being due to the formation of 12 The Bulletin dicalcium phosphate. The insoluble was found to also increase about 34 per cent. When i^arallel tests were carried on with the same acid phosphate, using 20 per cent argillaceous (dirt) filler, THE SAME CHAIS^GES IN THE WATER SOLUBLE AND CITRATE SOLU- BLE WERE FOUND; but in this instance the COMPOUNDS FORMED WERE THE PHOSPHATES OF IRON AND ALU- MINUM AND NOT THE DICALCIUM PHOSPHATE. THE LOSS IN INSOLUBLE WAS PRACTICALLY THREE TIMES AS GREAT. "Ten bags of complete fertilizer, using 275 pounds of limestone, meal, tankage, and sulphate of ammonia were mixed and stored. At the end of seven months the bags in which these goods were stored were in as perfect condition as on the day on which they were stored. One thou- sand tons of complete fertilizer, using 110 pounds of ground limestone, fish, sulphate, and tankage were stored in bulk; another lot of complete fertilizer, using cotton-seed meal as an ammoniate, and 435 pounds of ground limestone was mixed and stored. After some months the three were analyzed, with the result that no apparent chemical change had occurred ; in all three instances the mechanical condition of the fertilizer was found to be superior to that which the writer is accustomed to know where other fillers have been used. "In conclusion, ground limestone has a most beneficial effect on the mechanical conditions and will change the water-soluble phosphoric acid into the very desirable dicalcium phosphate, and the results of the sev- eral experiment stations are that ground limestone will increase the crop yields enormously." In 1914, Professor Brogdon carried out a number of experiments on a number of different kinds of soil to ascertain whether the presence of ground limestone in a mixed fertilizer containing acid phosphate would render the phosphoric acid more or less available for plant use. Pro- fessor Brogdon states : "From a number of experiments, the conclusion was drawn that if phosphoric acid, nitrogen, and limestone were used together as a fertilizer, larger crops could be grown than if phosphoric acid, nitrogen, and potash had been used." "Desiring to ascertain results from this system uf fertilization as applied to the cotton crop on various Georgia soils, a number of gentle- men having the reputation of being practical farmers and known to be interested in agricultural chemistry were asked to assist in this demon- stration. Of the six men, living in six different counties widely sepa- rated, each one planted three patches of cotton. Of the six men three were planters who cultivate annually several thousand acres, and the other three were small planters selected lor tiieir ability to carry out these experiments accurately. Exactly the same size patch was culti- vated in each instance, the method of cultivation being left to the experi- menter. In all of the experiments the seed used were furnished by the courtesy of A. C. Lewis of the office of the State Entomologist, using TuK Hri.I.KTIN l;> hybrid Xo. (I.'i. The fertilizers used were made under the direction of the writer bv the courtesy of the Porter Fertilizer Company. None of the exi)erimeiitcrs were advised as to the kind of fertilizer with which they were supplied; neither have they since been advised as to the results obtained by any of the experimenters. "Level ground was selected I'm- each experiment, exactly the same sized patch was cultivated in eveiy experiment, and exactly the same amount of fertilizer was used on every patch. Elaborate precautions were taken to secure accuracy. The writer weighed out each bag of fertilizer, which was numbered, and numbered stakes were placed in each bag to be driven in the rows. At harvest time numbered sacks were sent to each experimenter as receptacles for the seed cotton. All of the seed cotton was carefully air-dried before weighing. Half of the nitrogen in all the fertilizers used Avas derived from nitrate. Exactly the same amount ef phosphoric acid and nitrogen was used on every patch. On patches No. 1 and No. 2 abundant amounts of potash were used at the rates of 200 pounds of 121/4 per cent kainit per acre, which is 40 pounds more of kainit than when 1,000 pounds of 10-2-2 guano is used per acre. On pfltch No. 3 no potash was used, but this guano was mixed with finely ground limestone so that the limestone used would be applied at the rate of 1,600 pounds per acre. "These bags of acid phosphate mixed with meal and nitrate of soda and large quantities of finely ground limestone were allowed to stand several weeks before the fertilizer was used on patch No. 3. "The average of these results shows that the six men in six counties on six different soils harvested 16 PER CENT MORE SEED COT- TON ON PATCH No. 3, WHERE NO POTASH WAS USED, BUT WHERE LIBERAL APPLICATIONS OF FINELY GROUND LIMESTONE WERE MADE, THAN ON PATCHES No. 1 AND No. 2, WHERE POTASH WAS USED. "Summarizing these experiments, the writer advocates that on Geor- gia soils liberal amounts of guano containing 10 per cent phosphoric acid, 2 per cent ammonia, together with not less than 1,600 pounds of very finely divided limestone, will bring excellent results in the cultiva- tion of cotton. "The value of builder's lime as a soil amendment is recognized, but emphasis must be placed upon tlie fact that BUILDER'S LIME IS INJURIOUS TO FERTILIZERS, whereas limestone can be mi.xed with fertilizer in any quantity without in any way rendering the fer- tilizer less valuable, as was shown by these experiments." Some laboratory experiments by Brackett and Freeman of South Carolina have been cited in opposition to the conclusions drawn from the above data ; but Mr. Brackett himself admits his were mere labora- tory experiments and were not carried out under field conditions. They can, therefore, have little or no bearing on the very important question under discussion, namely, WHETHER IT WOULD BE WISE TO 14 The Bulletin MIX GROUND LIMESTONE WITH ACID PHOSPHATE IM- MEDIATELY BEFORE APPLYING IT TO THE SOIL FOR THE DOUBLE PURPOSE OF SUBSTUrUTlNG THE GROUND LIMESTONE FOR POTASH IN THE FERTILIZER MIXTURE, AND FOR PREVENTING THE IMMEDIATE FORMATION OF THE INSOLUBLE PHOSPHATES OF IRON AND ALUMINUM. No doubt other experiments could be cited that would seem to prove the opposite of the conclusions justified from the above data, but the facts ^nd conclusions incorporated in the foregoing discussion are vouched for by the most eminent authorities in the entire field of agri- cultural research and are in complete harmony with careful observation, practical farm exj>erience, and carefully planned and wisely interpreted field experiments, as well as in accord with ordinarv common sense and reason. THEY ARE, MOREOVER, IN ACCORD WITH THE FARMER'S BEST INTERESTS AT THIS TIME, AS A MEANS BY WHICH HE MAY REDUCE THE EXORBITANTLY HIGH PRICE OF HIS FERTILIZERS. No attempt has been made to leave the impression that acid phos- phate mixed with ground limestone will not revert to what is called di- calcium and, to some extent, to triealcium forms. But these forms of phosphorus are STILL AVAILABLE TO THE CROPS, WHILE THE IRON AND ALUMINUM PHOSPHATES ARE ENTIRELY OUT OF REACH OF THE PLANTS. All agree that ordinary acid phosphate will slowly revert to the rela- tively insoluble forms even while stored in bags and unmixed with any- thing, but on being applied to and mixed with the soil will revert to the entirely insoluble forms of iron and aluminum i)hosphates with great rapidity. The farmer thus loses much of his phosphatic numures which, IF THEY HAD BEEN MIXED WITH (^VLCIUM CARBONATE AT FIRST AND APPLIED TO THE SOIL IN THIS MIXED CONDITION, would have remained in a condition available to the crop through the gradual solution of tlie di- and tri-calcium phosphates by the various acids found in the ordinary soil solutions. THERE- FORE, SINCE ACID PHOSPHATE, WHEN APPLIED TO ORDI- NARY NORTH CAROLINA SOILS, IF NOT IMMEDI.VTELY TAKEX l^P P,Y THE PLANTS, ALWAYS REVERTS, WirillX A VERY SHORT TIME, TO THE MORK OR LESS INSOLLBLE FORMS, IT IS OF THE FIRST IMPORTANCE TO THE FARMER THAT IT I5F PERMITTED TO ClIAXGE IXTO FORMS FROM WHICH SUCCEEDING- CROPS CAN SECURE IT WITH RELATIVE EASE. From tlu! evidence at hand, we feel justiticil in olTi'iiiig the farmers of North Caroliiui the following t'ertilizcr fonmilas conlaiiiing calcium carbonate a.s a substitute for jjotasli. The practice of using limestone to lilM'rate inert soil jjotash is too well (>stiil)lislied for serious discussion at this time. These and similar fnniiulas are not entirely new, but have Ik'cii used f(tr some time with tlie liest of results; ;in(l \ho fanner's own Till-: Hri.i.KTi.v lo good jiidgmoiit will coiivim-o liiiii thai ii'> lianii, hut iiiuoh good, may come Iroiii tln'ir use. riicsc t'oniiulas slutuld Ix- given at least a fair trial. If found satisfactory under our varying local conditions, as wc tliink tiiev will, much will U^ saved on future fertilizer hills, as thn lime- stone is cheap and many farmt-rs have their nwn cotton-seed imai. In all cases, if practicahle to do so, we recommend the use of at least one ton of calcium carhonate hroadcast to the acre before using these mixed fertilizers in the drill. The acre apjilications of these mixtures will depend on the varying fertility of the soils, but from GOO to 1,000 ]K)unds to the acre will likely be about an average application in most parts of Xorth Carolina. Ground limestone can at this time (1916) be laid down at Raleigh in bulk at $2.60 a ton. The normal ]»rice for 16 per cent acid phosphate is not over $15 a ton. The average i)rice of cotton-seed meal is not over $.'50, and nitrate of soda does not generally sell for more than $60 a ton. Basing our calculations on these prices, the cost per ton of the different formulas given below has l>een worked out and attached. Of course, the whole of this discussion presupposes home mixing of the fertilizer ingre- dients.

Df:war. E. B. Hart and F. C. Wiggins. Tlic analyses presented in this Bulletin are of samples collected by the fertilizer inspectors of the Department, under the direction of the rommissionor of Agriculture, durinjz; fall months of 1915 and the spring months of 1916. They should receive the careful study of every farmer in the State who uses fertilizers, as by comparing the analyses in the Bulletin with the claims made for the fertilizers actunll.v ii-t(i. the farmer can know by or before the time fertilizers are put in the ground whether or not they contain the fertilizing con.stituents in the amounts they were claimed to be prosont. TKRMS USED IN ANALYSES Water-sol able Phosphoric Acid. — Phosphate rock, as dug from the mines, mainly in South Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee, is the chief source of phosphoric acid in fertilizers. In its raw, or natural, state the phosjjhate has three parts of lime united to the phosphoric acid (called by chemists tricalcium plios- jihate). This is very insoluble in water and is not in condition to be taken up readily by plants. In order to render it soluble in water and fit for plant food, the rock is finely ground and treated with sulphuric acid, which acts upon it in such a way as to take from the three-lime phosphate two parts of its lime, thus leaving only one part of the lime united to the phosphoric acid. This one-lime phosphate is wliat is known as water-soluble phosphoric acid. Reverted PhospJioric Acid. — On long standing some of this water- soluble phosphoric acid has a tendency to take lime from other sub- stances in contact with it, and to become .somewhat less soluble. This latter is known as reverted or gone-back phosphoric acid. This is thought to contain two parts of lime in combination with the ])hosphoric acid, and is thus an intermediate product between water-soluble and the original rock. Water-soluble phosphoric acid is considered somewhat more valuable than reverted, because it becomes better distributed in the soil as a con- sequence of its solubility in Avator. Araihible Phosphoric Acid is made up of the water-soluble and re- verted ; it is the sum of these two. 6 The Bulletin Water-soluble Ammonia. — The main materials furnishing ammonia in fertilizers are nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia, cotton-seed meal, dried blood, tankage, and fish scrap. The first two of these (nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia) are easily soluble in water and become well distributed in the soil where plant roots can get at them. They are, especially the nitrate of soda, ready to be taken up by plants, and are therefore quick-acting forms of ammonia. It is mainly the ammonia from nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia that will be designated under the heading of water-soluble ammonia. Organic Ammonia. — The ammonia in cotton-seed meal, dried blood, tankage, fish scrap, and so on, is included under this heading. These materials are insoluble in water, and before they can feed plants they must decay and have their ammonia changed, by the aid of the bacteria of the soil, to nitrates, similar to nitrate of soda. They are valuable then as plant food in proportion to their content of ammonia, and the rapidity with which they decay in the soil, or rather the rate of decay, will determine the quickness of their action as fertilizers. With short season, quick-growing crops, quickness of action is an important consideration, but with crops occupying the land during the greater portion, or all, of the growing season, it is better to have a fertilizer that will become available more slowly, so as to feed the plant till maturity. Cotton-seed meal and dried blood decompose fairly rapidly, but will last the greater portion, if not all, of the growing season in this State. While cotton seed and tankage will last longer than meal and blood, none of these act so quickly, or give out so soon, as nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia. Total ammonia is made up of the water-soluble and organic ; it is the sum of these two. The farmer should suit, as far as possible, the kind of ammonia to his different crops, and a study of the forms of ammonia as given in the tables of analyses will help him to do this. AVAILABILITY OF NITROGEN During the past few years the increasing cost and the extensive use for other purposes of the standard high grade ammoniates have caused the appearance upon the market of many new nitrogenous materials which are being used as sources of nitrogen in commercial fertilizers. These materials are, to a large extent, trade-waste products, in them- selves not permissible as sources of nitrogen, but which after treatment in various ways develop a considerable degree of availability, and in many cases the nitrogen contained therein becomes very largely water- soluble. On account of the e.xteiisivo use of tliose now ammoniates this dejiart- nient is now making in its laboratory by chemical methods determina- tions of the availability of the water-insoluble organic nitrogen in the samples of fertilizers taken for analysis. In this way we are largely able The Bulletin 7 to differentiate between the good and the bad amuioniates and to distin- guish those forms which are readily available from those more difficultly so. FORM OF POTASH IN TOBACCO FERTILIZERS Tobacco growers are becoming yearly more disposed to know the form of potash, whether from kainit, muriate, or sulphate, which enters into their tobacco fertilizers. Considerable work of this kind has been done for individuals, and we now determine the form of potash in all tobacco brands, for the benefit of tobacco growers. The term potash from muriate, as reported in the analyses, does not mean, necessarily, that the potash was supplied by muriate of potash. Sulphate or some other potash salt may have been used, but in all fer- tilizers where the term potash from muriate is used, there is enough chlorine present to combine with all the potash, though it may have come from salt in tankage, kainit, or karnalite. As the objection to the use of muriate of potash in tobacco fertilizers arises from the chlorine present, it docs not matter whether this substance is present in common salt or potush-furnishing materials. The use of sulphate of potash where there is chlorine present in the other ingredients of the fertilizer will not present the injurious effect of the chlorine. The term potash from muriate in our analyses, there- fore, means that there is sufficient chlorine present in the fertilizer from all sources to combine with the potash to the extent indicated by the analyses. VALUATIONS To have a basis for comparing the values of different fertilizer ma- terials and fertilizers, it is necessary to assign prices to the three valu- able constituents of fertilizers — ammonia, phosphoric ac'.d, and potash. These figures, expressing relative value per ton, are not intended to rep- resent crop-producing power, or agricultural value, but are estimates of the commercial value of ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash in the ma- terials supplying them. These values are only approximate, as the cost of fertilizing materials is liable to change, as other commercial pro- ducts are, but they are believed to fairly represent the cost of making and, putting fertilizers on the market. They are based on a careful examination of trade conditions, wholesale and retail, and upon quo- tations of manufacture. Relative value per ton, or the figures showing this, represent the prices on board the cars at the factory, in retail lots of five tons or less, for cash. To make a complete fertilizer the factories have to mix together in proper proportions materials containing ammonia, phosj)horic acid, and potash. This costs something. For this reason it is thought well to have two sets of valuations — one for the raw or unmi.xed materials, such as acid phosphate, kainit, cotton-seed meal, etc., and one for mixed fer- tilizers. 8 The Bulletin Valuations for 1915 III Unmixed or Raiv Materials For phosphoric acid in acid pliospliate 4 cents per pound For phosphoric acid in bone meal and Peruvian Guano.. 3% cents per pound For nitrogen 19 cents per pound For potasli 8 cents per pound In Mixed Fertilizers For phosphoric acid 4^2 cents per pound For nitrogen 20 cents per pound For potash S\-^ cents per pound Valuations for 1916 In Unmixed or Raw Materials For phosphoric acid in acid phosphate 4^2 cents per pound For phosphoric acid in bone meal and Peruvian Guano.. 4 cents per pound For nitrogen ■■. 20 cents per pound In Mixed Fertilizers For phosphoric acid 5 cents per pound For nitrogen 21 cents per pound For potash 25 cents per pound HOW RELATIVE VALUE IS CALCULATED In the calculation of relative value it is only necessary to remember that so many per cent means the same number of pounds per hundred, and that there are twenty hundred pounds in one ton (2,000 pounds). With an 8-2-1.65 goods, which means that the fertilizer contains avail- able phosphoric acid 8 per cent, potash 2 per cent, and nitrogen 1.65 per cent, the calculation is made as follows : Tt^^^^^f ^ ^,. Ti.r. :, inn r7.„ Yolue per Value per Ton, Percentage or Lbs. m 100 Lbs. ion Lbs. 2.000 Lbs. 8 pounds available phosphoric acid at 5 cents.. 0.40 X20 $ 8.00 1.65 pounds nitrogen at 21 cents 0.3465x20 6.93 2 pounds potash at 25 cents 0.50 X20 10.00 Total value 1.2465X20 $24.93 Freight and merchant's commission must be added to these prices.

The curved saw and tlip double-edged saw are undesirable; the one shown in the center is satisfactory for larger branches. i- Hi. I). — i'oli' I'liimr. This pruner is used in cutting back the long growth on the ends of the branches, where it is difficult to reach the sprouts with small hand pruners. 10 The Bulletin pruning shear (Fig. 2) and a pruning knife (Fig. 3) will serve the best purpose. For older trees, the types of pruning saws, as shown in (Fig. 4) are of advantage. For larger branches the saws shown in (Fig. 5) Avill be necessary, and should be used instead of a carpenter's hand saw. For pruning peach trees, a pole pniner of the kind shown in (Fig. 6) will do good work. The danger of using long-handled pruners of any kind is that the pruner is likely to become careless and leave stubs and thus injure the trees. Pruning should be done carefully and the branch cut off smoothly, close to the main branch or trunk of the tree. This can best be done with short-handled pruners adapted to size of branch, hardness of wood and kind of tree or vine pruned. Fio. 7. — One-year-old apple tree, to be cut back to two feet in height as indicated by dotted line. Pruning the Apple. Pruning should begin when the apple tree is one year old. The straight stem (Fig. 7) without any side branches is cut back at time of planting to a height of two U* throe feet. This will give a low headed tree that can be handled ]»r()])orly later. The tree should not be headed too low, as it is diiliculi to lake care of the soil around the The Bulletin 11 tree when the branches arc too close to the ground. The brunches should not be headed too high because it will be ditticult to prune and spray the trees and gather the crop if the branches are out of reach. A height of about two or three feet will give best results. During the first growing season, all the growth should be remove«l as soon as formed except four or five shoots. These shoots should be al- lowed to grow so as to form the main branches which should be spaced four to five inches apart on the main stem. Branches that are exactly opposite should not be allowed to form because of danger of splitting when the trees come into bearing. Pruning a Two-Year-Old Apple Tree. Pruning a two-year-old tree consists of properly distributing and training the branches to a desired shape and form. There are two main systems of training apple trees: the central leader or pyramid Fig. 8. — Twoyear-old apple tree. Cut out the central leader and water sprouts and prune as indicated by dotted lines. Cut back the long whips from 1-2 to 1-3 the length. Do not allow opposite branches to form. Dotted lines indicate what shoukl be pruned. Pears, plums, and cherries are pruned in the same way at this age. and the open head or vase fonn ; both of these systems are sometimes exaggerated. For Xorth Carolina conditions a cumbination of the two systems will give best results; a round headed tree with partially open center is the most desirable. ♦12 The Bulletin A two-year-old apple tree is pruned by cutting out the central growth and cutting back the side branches to a length of twelve to fourteen inches. If the variety is of the upright, compact, growing nature, the side branches should be pruned to an outside bud to correct the com- pact habit of growth and induce the branches to spread. If the vari- ety is of the scraggly and drooping kind, the form can be somewhat corrected by pruning to an inside bud. (See Fig. 8). Prune off all unnecessary growth produced on the main stem except four or five branches intended for the head of the tree. Pruning a Three- Year-Old Tree. The growth on a three-year-old apple tree is all length growth, so that the pruning will be much like that of the two-year-old tree. Cut out all water sprouts on the main stem and side branches. Leave only two or three branches on each main side branch and cut back the length growth from one-third to one-half. (See Fig. 9.) Fio. y. — Tlirc'c-yeur old apple tree.

I>oltod linos indirate where pruning Bhould be done. Pkunino the Four-Ye.\r-Old Tree. A four-year-old apple tree will make two kinds of growth, length growth from the ends of the pruned branches and lateral growth in the form of short spurs at the ba.se of the previous sejuson's growth. Those spurs will later develop into fruit spurs. If the young trees TllK liULLETIN 13 liave not been pruned up to this time, there will be too much length or wood growth and no spur formation. The prin('i])lc in i)rniiing young trees is to regulate wood gruwtli so as to develop fruiting spurs. Tliu long shoots at the ends of the branches should be cut back one-half or one-third of the growth, cutting out water sprouts and thinning branches that are too close. Leave only two or three branches or sprouts on the ends of last year's growth and cut the sprouts back to an outside bud or inside bud as the case may require. The five, six and seven-year-old trees are pruned in the same way (Fig, 10). The length growth is cut back and thinned out, and all unnecessary growth in the form of water sprouts on the main trunk and base of main branches is removed. Fruit si)urs should not be allowed to form at the base of the main branches and trunk of the tree because of the danger of pear blight getting into the growing tissues. The general plan of pruning from this time on Avill be to preserve a symmetrical form, to check unnecessary wood growth, encourage the formation of fruit spurs, and to cut out diseased, injured or interfering branches, Pbuning Old Apple Tkees. In pruning old trees care should be taken not to prune too severely. Cut out the middle branches first; next year, the branches forming the sides of the tree may be pruned out, provided they are too thick and interfere with one another. Sometimes all that will be necessary will be to cut out the central branch. Thi.s branch is usually too tall and out of reach for spraying and harvesting the fniit and serves as an umbrella shading the lower and more desirable branches. By cutting out the central leader, air and sunlight can penetrate the branches of the tree, sjiraying can be done more effectively and the height of the tree will be lowered so that the fruit can be gathered more easily. The fruit will also be of larger size and finer color. Care should be taken that too much wood is not taken out because of danger of sun scald. If the branches of old trees are a tangled mass of growth, the old wood should be pruned out, leaving the newer growth. This will prevent the formation of too much Avater sprout growth. The water sprouts should be removed in the summer time during the growing sea- ^^on. The main idea in pruning old trees is to replace the old branches with new ones. This can only be done by gradual pruning every year. Dead, diseased and interfering branches should be pruned out, care being taken not to leave stubs on the trees. The large wounds should he cut smoothly and close to a side branch or the main trunk. The trees should not be injured by allowing the branches to break and peel off the bark. The wounds should be disinfected and painted over. The best disinfectant is a solution of bichloride of mercury, one tab- let (7'o grains) to one pint of water. This should be apjdied imme- diately after the branch is cut off. Care should be taken in handling the bichloride, as it is a poison and will corrode metal, clothes and hands. White lead and linseed oil made into a thick i)aint may be used, but better results will be obtained with a paint made of two- thirds part coal tar and one-third part creosote oil. The tar creosote paint is a powerful disinfectant and actually prevents rotting of tin- wood, while the white lead paint is not so effective. 14 The Bulletin Fio. 10. — Five-year old apple tree. Notice length growth in the form of sprouts on the ends of branches and lateral growth in the form of spurs at buso of branches. Prune as indicated by dotted line, cutting out central leader, water sprouts and ends of new growth to an outfidn bud. I'rune six and seven-year-old trees in same way. Fruit will develop on Hpurs the iiixth or seventh year. The Bulletin 15 Pruning the Pear Tree. The pear tree is pruned to check the succulent wood growth and to control blight. The training and shaping of the young tree is the same as that of the apple tree. After the pear tree becomes six or eight years old not as much winter pruning will be necessary and more summer pruning should be given. The heavy succulent growth is due to strong root growth. It may be advisable to prune the roots during the winter rather than the branches. This is done by exposing the root system in the winter time and cutting one of the main roots with an axe, leaving the part cut off in the soil. Water sprouts are re- moved during growing season. The wounds on pear trees should always be well disinfected with bichloride solution immediately after the branch is cut off. It is more important to disinfect the wounds than to disinfect the tools. Every precaution should be taken not to infect the wounds with the blight disease by improper pruning. The wounds should also be painted over with the tar creosote paint mentioned above for apples. All fruit spurs on main trunk and lower parts of main branches should be re- moved. Prune in the winter to cut out blight cankers and in the sum- mer time to check spread of blight disease. Dead, diseased and inter- fering branches should be pruned out at any time of the season. Pruning Peach Trees. The peach, like all other fruit trees, requires annual and thorough I»runing from the time of transplanting. The growth is more vigor- ous and free from diseases. For this reason, the large amount of wood growth produced will require more severe pruning. The fruit buds are borne in pairs on long whips formed the previous season. These whips or shoots grow out on the ends of previous season's branches. If peach trees are neglected and not pruned, all the fruit- ing whips will be produced on the ends of long branches. The lower branches will be shaded by branches above forming long top-heavy branches which will break off when a crop of fruit is borne. This habit of the tree can be corrected by cutting off the ends of the new shoots and cutting out the growth in the center of the tree to admit air and sunlight in order that shading and crowding of the branches may be prevented. The peach twigs require sunlight for best develop- ment; for this reason an open head should be the plan of pruning peach trees. Pruning OxE-YEAK-OLn Peach Trees. Peach trees should be headed low enough to permit the examination of the base of the trunk for borers and to enable the cultivation of the trees. The tendency to produce tall growth should be checked by cut- ting off the length growth and heading the tree at proper height of about eighteen inches from the ground. The pruning at time of trans])lanting should consist of cutting out the central branches and cutting out all unnecessary growth on the main stem except four branches. These branches are spaced three or four inches apart and are cut back to short spurs two or three inches long as shown in diagramatic illustration (Fig. 11). These spurs 16 The Bulletin should be left on the main stem in such a way that two will extend in opposite directions, north and south, and the other two, east and west. The spurs should contain two opposite buds. Pruning Two- Year-Old Peach Trees. The pruning of the peach tree the second year should consist of cut- ting out the central branches and water sprouts on the main stem and Fig. 11. — One-year-old peach tree. Cut out c(>ntr!il loailor, loiivinj; four branches pruned to spurs 2 inches long, as indicated by dotted lines. Do not allow opposite branches to form. FlO 12. — Twoycar-old peach tree.

Tlie.se sprouts are cut back to a length of twelve or fourteen inches and pruiiod to an outside bud, so that an open bead may bo formed. Prune well above the buds, so that tliey may not be injured by the wound dry- ing out. Tub Bulletin 17 Pruning Three-Year-Oi d Tkach Trees. The peach tree will hc^in to form fruit buds the third or fourth year after transplanting. The.-^e fruit huds are borne in pairs and are usually located in the middle part of the twigs. The leaf or wood buds are produced at the base and ends of the twigs and are arranged spi- rally. The pruning should consist of cutting off the ends of the shoots to prevent the wood buds from producing too much length growth, so as to enable the buds at the base to make the new fruit bearing growth for next season (Fig. 13). By this plan the tree will be kept to a Fia. 13. — Three-year-old peach tree. Notice the buds on the peach tree, single buds at ends of twig.s and double buds at base. Prune the ends of the new growth to 1-2 or 1-3, cut out central leader and interfering growth to open center of the tree. The peach tree bears fruit on new growth beginning the third year. The double buds develop into fruit. Prune with this in mind in subsequent years. The dotted lines indicate where pruning should be done. limited height and the fruit will be closer to the main branches so that there will be less danger of the branches breaking from a heavy crop. The fruit also is not so liable to be blown off by the wind. After peach trees become four and five years old the pruning will be the same as of the three-year-old trees except that there will be more IS The Bulletin branelies to prune. The old wood is pruned out so as to allow new growth to form. The new shoots are cut back one-third to one-half, and Avhere they may be too crowded, the shoots are thinned out. The center of the tree should be kept open so as to admit air and sunlight, which helps to produce good color and size of the fruit. Dead, dis- eased, injured and interfering branches should be cut out. Pruning Old Peach Trees. If peach trees have been badly neglected by lack of pruning they may be renewed by judicious cutting off or dehorning of the branches. Peach trees produce new growth very readily from adventitious buds on old wood. For this reason little or no harm is done by severe prun- ing; and in case the buds are injured by a late frost, dehorning should be resorted to, so that the trees may better be able to produce fruit bearing growth for next season. The dehorning consists in cutting the long branches to stubs two or three feet in length. These stubs will produce new shoots which will bear fruit the following season. Wounds on peach trees heal very quickly, but care should be taken to paint the wounds with tar creo- sote paint to prevent the rotting of the heart and sap wood. Later pruning will be to cut the sprouts back to one-half or one-third and to thin out crowded and interfering growth, keeping the centers of the trees open. Pruning Cherry Trees. Young cherry trees are started in the same way as apple trees, ex- cept that not as much pruning will be necessary. The cherry tree naturally forms a symmetrical head so that very little training of the tree will be required. After the tree becomes older very little pruning should be given. However, it may be necessary to remove just enough wood to prevent branches from interfering and to cut out diseased and injured parts. Large branches should not be removed because the wounds on old wood do not heal very readily, so that there may be danger of the wounds drying out and injuring the trees. The old wood cannot be renewed by pruning like the peach, pear or apple trees be- cause cherry trees do not form adventitious buds on old wood. Pruning Plum Trees. As with all fruit trees, the pruning should begin with the young trees. The object of pruning young plum trees is to train the trees to a low headed form with a partially open center. The Japanese plums should be pruned much like peach trees; the European and American plums should be pruned according to the directions given for apple trees. After the trees become of bearing ago, they will need very little pruning. Dead, injured and interfering brandies should be removed. Pruning Grapes. The grape is the easiest of all fruit plants to prune. The principal reasons for pruning tlic grape are to keep the vine in due bounds and to prune for fruitfulness by cutting out all unnecessary wood growth. Thb Bulletin 19 Grape vines should be pnined in the fall or early winter, because there is danger of loss of sap if the vines are pruned late in the winter or just before sap begins to rise. There are two general systems of training grape vines, the upright and the drooping systems. The drooping or Kniffin System is prob- ably best for conditions in North Carolina. This system consists in training the vine to a main stem with four arms on two wires, the lower wire 3 feet from ground and the upper one 2Y2 f<^et above the lower. The fruit is borne on shoots produced on canes coming from two-year-old wood. £i « U^aTe/' 3/}rou^ Fig. 14. — Grape vine. First season's growth after planting. Main stem with four arms in form of water sprouts, trained to two wires. In fall or winter prune the sprouts to spurs of two nodes long as indicated by dotted lines. Pruning the First Year After Planting. The grape vine ought to produce a main stem and four arms in the form of water sprouts the first season. These sprouts are cut back to short spurs two joints or nodes in length. If more than four sprouts are produced, they should be cut off close to the main stem, leaving only four close to the wires. (See Fig. 14.) Fio. 15. — Grape vine. Second season's growth after planting consists of fruiting canes for next year, and water sprouts on main stem. Notice the fruiting canes arc more zigzag and have shorter nodes or joints than the water sprouts. Prune the sprouts to spurs two nodes long, as indicated by dotted lines. Cut the ends of the canes to a desired length. The second year after planting (See Fig 15) the grape vine will make fruiting canes from the spurs left last season. Only one cane should be left on each spur. The main stem will also produce a num- 20 The Bulletin ber of water sprouts. The pruning will consist of cutting back the water sprouts to spurs two nodes in length. If more sprouts are pres- ent, they should be cut off close to main stem. The growth of the grape the third season (See Fig. 16) will consist of water sprouts on main stem, fruiting canes on spurs and fruit on shoots produced on last season's canes. The vine is pruned by cutting out all unnecessary water sprouts, leaving two to each wire ; these water sprouts should be cut back to spurs two nodes in length. The old fruiting canes are cut out entirely. ISTew fruiting canes produced on spurs of last season should be left to bear fruit the following season. The fruiting canes have shorter nodes and more mature buds than the water sprouts which produce a long succulent growth. This method is repeated the successive and following years. a - l-t/a/er ■3i>roi/7s' ^ = 0/c/^iTinj Cones Fig. 16. — Third season's growtli after planting consists of fruit bearing sprouts produced on fruiting canes, water sprouts on main stem, and fruiting canes for next season on water sprout spurs. After gathering fruit, prune in fall or winter, cut out the old fruiting canes and cut back the water sprouts to spurs two nodes long and new canes to desired length as indicated by dotted lines. Pruning Muscadine Gkapes. The Scuppernong and other varieties of Muscadine grapes make a very vigorous and luxuriant growth. For this reason they are better adapted to training on an arbor or overhead trellis. They may be trained, however, to the Kniffin System the same as the bunch grape, except that six arms on three wires are allowed to form instead of four as with the bunch grapes. These arms should also be much longer so as not to reduce the fruiting capacity of the vine. In training Muscadine grapes only one branch should be allowed to grow for the main stem. (See Fig. 17). The arbor or overhead trellis can be made of any durable timber. Four posts are placed around the vine and properly braced to make a substantial support for the vine. Rails, woven wire fencing or galvan- ized pipes can be used on which the vine may be trained. Single strands of wire on such an arbor should not be used because it is diffi- cult to keep th(!m uniformly tight. The vines should be pruned as soon as the leaves drop in the fall. Annual ])tuiiiiig .should be prac- ticed. Riidden severe ]iiiniing is liable to injure the vines. TlIK Bir.I.KTIN 21 Fici. 17. — Muscadine grape, trained on an arbor.

Hurgkss and Clarence H. Waldson IMKODrCiOKV Any plant found erroAviiifj; wIiltl' thu fanner does not want it may be properly called a weed. For example, wheat is u weed when found scattered through the oat fields. Corn is a weed when found in the cotton field, etc. IJut, as a rule, farm weeds are not economic plants and have little or no value, from the farmer's point of view, regardless of whore they are found growing. Some weeds complete their growth in one year, and are, for this reason, called annuals: others require two seasons to complete their growth, and are called biennials; still others come from the root each year, or are not killed down to the ground by frosts at the end of the season, and are called perennials. Or, to put it differently, annual plants come from the seed each year; biennials every two years; while perennial plants come from the seed but once through a long series of years, as the oaks and other familiar trees. GENFRAI. PRINCIPLES OF WEED CONTROL 1. All future generations of w^eeds that come from seed can be cut off liy preventing the parent plants from maturing seeds. 2. All weeds that come from the root, or root stock, each year may I'vcntually be killed by not allowing them to produce loaves. 3. Frequent tillage of cultivated fields, and frequent mowing of mead- ows and clipping of pastures arc excellent means of weed eradication. 4. Sometimes fields must be cleared of growths the stumps of which sprout profusely for several succeeding seasons. The best time to clear such lands is when the trees are in full leaf and just when the growth I if the present season has stopped. The roots have then given up to the spring growth most of the food supply stored in them the previous summer and have not had time to accumulate a new supply for the growth of the following spring. Jh/ cl"arin(j at this critical time, little nr no sprouting from most trees and shrubs need be expected. Of course, the liftinc: of the stumps will prevent sprouting, but it is not always practicable to do this. .'). Every one is familiar with the practice of clearing land of weeds and chaparral by grazing it with cattle, sheep, and particularly goats. Corn or Purple Cockle. Agrostemma Gitkago L.

The seed is injurious to flour. Throughout the State. June to September. control Sow only clean seed wheat, oats and rye. Hand-pull all cockle plants found growing in the grain fields. Practice clean cultivation on infested fields, and see that no cockle plants mature seed. This plant is listed among the poisonous plants of America, and any large amount of the seed in wheat renders the flour unsafe for human food; and wheat tailings or screenings containing an appreciable amount of cockle are said to be unsafe feed for poultry.

Seeds are not produced, and the ])lant increases princijially by means of bulblets which are produced amonc; the flowers. Found everywhere, and particu- larly in pastures, where it is objectiona- ble to stock owners, as it ruins the flavor of milk. Flour made from wheat contain- insr the bulbh^ts is unfit for use. CONTROL Late fall plowing and early spring cul- tivation are recommended. While the bulbs form under ground as a normal method of propagating the plant, these bulbs cannot continue to grow very many seasons if the above-ground portion of the ])lant is persistently destroyed either by cultivation or grazing. Late fall ploAV- ing, therefore, when the tops have at- tained a height of six to eight inches, will greatly weaken if it does not entirely de- stroy the fall growth ; and the early spring stirrings of the soil, after the spring growth of the onions has put up some inches, will go a long way toward killing the spring crop of left-over bulblets. Fol- low these fall and spring stirrings of the soil by thorough, clean, summer cultiva- tion for two or three years, and the onions will be under pretty good control. Pas- turing with sheep, goats, and beef cattle — never with dairy cattle — is very helpful in the control of this weed.

CONTROL Clean and frequent cul- tivation of land planted in hoed crops to prevent the plants from making seed is the most effective means of controlling this pest. The use of lime will aid in its eradication, but any soil condition that will promote the rapid growth of other crops will, in a measure, check the spread of sheep sorrel. Only clean seeds of grass and clover should be sowed. Pasturing with sheep will help to keep it in check; also plowing it under while green and before the blooming period.

This weed is not a very formid- able enemy to crop production in this State, and, when in fields which can be pastured, it fur nishes a very good forage for certain live stock. It is usually worse in clover fields that are to be mowed for hay or seed. But, since wild carrot is a vigorously gromng, tap-rooted biennial plant that soon covers a field and adds a great deal of organic matter to the soil, even where the land is poor, it should be looked upon as a source of soil fertility, particu- larly on poor lands that can be allowed to lie for a few years, rather than as a weed pest to be gotten rid of. Since it requires two years be- fore it can make seed, the plow- ing under of the plant in early spring will prove very effective in its control. The clover fields may be clipped while tlic plants are in bloom as a partial remedy. Pas- turing Avill also help to keep it down. No. 11. Wii.D Cabkot or Daucus cakota L.

Common throughout the State, and particularly objectionable in wheat and oats. As the plant is hardier than wheat or oats, and the seed is not easily separated from grain in cleaning, it is hard to convince many farmers that their grain does not actually ''turn to Cheat." June to July. CONTROL Sow clean seed, wheat and oats. As it always comes from the seed, the fields of wheat and oats can be thoroughly cleared of this pest by not allowing any of the "cheat" plants to mature seed, and by not sowing any of the seed with the wheat and oat crops. Of course pulling by hand is quite effective In controlling its spread when it first starts. This is an excellent hay plant and is always welcome in meadows. It becomes a weed only when it gets into the small grain fields, and it may get into these fields through the manure from the animals fed with hav eontaininir it.

A single branch may bear twenty burs. Painful and dangerous in the harvest field or wherever found. Fruit ripe June to Sep- tember. Occurs in the eastern part of the State, along the sea- shore and in sandy ground. CONTROL Clean cultivation which pre- vents the ripening of seed will prevent its spread. Burs stick to passing animals and are thus spread from field to field. There- fore, fields that contain it in large amounts should not be pastured with sheep or, perhaps, cattle that have not shed their winter coat of hair. No. 15. S.\ND11UU on Cencheus tkihuloides L.

Spikes slender, about five inches long, borne four or tive together at the summit of the stem. Seeds small, oval, yellowish-green, wooly. Found throughout the State. July and August. CONTROL Crab Grass is the one implacable enemy of all lawns, alfalfa fields, and cultivated cro]is in North raioliua. and about the only sure method of control is to prevent seed- ing by thorough cultivation. It seeds profusely and comes from the seed each year. Mowing lawns to ]irevent seeding is not entirely suc- cessful as some of the stems will lie almost flat on the ground and make seed in spite of close clipping witii the lawn mower. Land in tended for alfalfa and laA\ms should be fallowed during the summer jireceding the spring jilanting. The land should be gone over by a weeder or a harrow as often as the small crab grass plants show themselves above ground. Persistence in this practice will kill most, or all, of the crab grass seeds in the soil before the cro]) is pitched. Crab grass would always be welcome in hay fields but for the fact that seeds may be scattered through the manure from animals fed with the hay. This grass'in the pastures is, however, not only harmless, but makes a most palatable and nutri- tious feed for cattle. No. 16.

Spikes four to five, purplish, arranged in the same manner as the fingers on the hand. Seed small, light yellow, keeled so as to appear half oval in outline. Not abundantly produced in this section, but occurs more or less everywhere throughout the State in lawns, waste places and cultivated fields. Used extensively for lawns and golf courses. July to September. CONTROL J^ot many farmers in N" r t h Carolina are afraid of Bermuda Grass as it is coming to be rec- ognized as our very best permanent pasture plant. It is not to be feared as a weed, for good crops can be grown in spite of it, and the land is always left more fertile because of its presence in the soil. "When found in culti- vated fields, however, it is a weed in most cases. Shallow plowing and rak- iiig out tlie roots, follow- ed by smothering crops, will generally keep it un- der control. Bermuda (irass now ripens seed in Xorth Carolina, thus having two methods of extending its spread — by root stocks and by seeds. It must, therefore, be kept from both growing leaves and producing seed ill order to kill it entirely — a dilHcult undertaking. So. 17. Bermuda Grass or Cynodon dactyl'jn (L.) Pkus.

Germination tests were made of 372 sam- ples of vegetable seeds. Also 78,386 c.c. of tobacco seed were received and cleaned for farmers of the State as against 59,362 c.c. received in 1915. The farmers are taking an increasing interest in the use of better seeds. The degree of their interest may be seen from the number of seed samples they send from year to year to the Seed Laboratory for examination. During 1914 individual farmers sent on their own initia- tive 228 samples of seeds for examination ; during 1915 284 samples, and during the year ending July 1, 3916, 405 samples. A shortage in funds compelled the commissioner to call the seed inspectors out of the field about a month before their work was com- pleted. This action reduced the total number of inspector's samples tot collected and greatly interfered wi||h the regulatory work of tbe Seed Laboratory the past year. RELATIVE STANDING OF NORTH CAROLINA SEED LABORATORY Nothing sliow.s more conclusivolv tlie ctiicieiicv of a st'cd laboratory than the gormiuation test. At the beginning of this year the Association of American Seed Analysts, of wbidi organization the North Carolina Seed Laboratory is a member, submitted through its secretary, ^Ir. Oswald, twenty-one ditferent samples of the most diificultly germinating seeds to the fifty-one different seed laboratories throughout the United States and Canada fni- the jnirpose of testing the efficiency of these different laboratories. This test of efficiency meant a great deal to the different laboratories and to the people served by them. The following table shows the result of thi.s crucial test, and North Carolinians will be delighted to note that their laboratory stands among the first on the continent in point of efficiency of service. Number 12 in the table is the number assigned to North Carolina, and one has only to compare this number with the other numbers to ascertain the standing of our laboratory as compared with the other seed laboratories of North America. The figures in the column marked "laboratory number" designate the different sjed laboratories in North America. The numbers in the columns under the names of the different seeds, as 'S'ed clover," etc., represent the ])ercentage of gcrmiiuition secured by the diiferent labora- tories in the United States and Canada, testing portions of the same sample. 6 The Bulletin OS H OS o s W O [^ O m H iJ Oj H f O < I3qranf<[ XJOjBJoqoq c^ fO lO CO t^ O) o (>j CO in 00 ^ CM CM s UJ CM s CM eo CM §3 g norao OJ 00 CO 00 CO oo us 00 oo 00 us ■>»< 00 CO 00 £5 eo 00 § 00 oo OJ us us us 00 00 us 00 CO OJ us CM oo us qoBUidg "5 CO us CO us oo us 00 us o us 05 o us us us CO CO e3J CO s us us us CO CJ CO us us CO t- ej33a CO CO to •* •0< o s us CO CO us s us CO £S us C3J o oo C3J 00 us o us c^ us CO s aotiMan CO 03 CO 03 us co us •* 00 us 00 o ■e us 00 00 00 oo 00 03 o> us oo 00 us us 00 00 us OJ § s l^) ssBJO ania •o us oo us CO us 00 oo us -* {2 OJ us us CO 00 CO us us c^ 1^ 00 us o CO ssBio axu -jaj; 00 00 CO 00 CO 00 CO oo CO 00 en 00 us 00 oo eo 00 CO 00 s CM CJ s 1^ 00 us cs CJ 00 o CO us oo CO c» (2) SSBJO piBqOJQ (I) SSBJQ pitjqOJQ s IS CO U3 co us CO us us CO us 00 us o> 00 s ■o CSJ CO g CO 00 g us § K 00 •o CO us us us o CO us o 00 US CO oo US o o 00 e CO us us CO oo oo § BSBio auiojg in o 00 us CO C5 s o 05 oo ■n CO 07 us CI us CJ g us CO 00 o CM o o CJ Cl CJ us us CTJ 00 CO CJ dox P^H CO 00 CO CO 00 oo oo eci OJ Ci CO o OS o OJ CO CR o> s us us 00 CO OJ § 00 OJ us OJ CO CJ us s g i^inw co 00 oo us o o OJ o UJ us CO OS us CO 00 o 00 o oo us OJ CM C3J 1^ oo CJ us CJ OJ CO 00 us CM OJ g Xqiouiij, CO 00 us "^l* o o CI o 03 CD C5 Ci CJ § us CO CJ 00 OJ CO OJ 00 CI OJ us OJ OJ eo OJ U3 1 ■o us s o o us CO us s oa CO OJ us us co' OJ s OJ OJ OJ OJ U5 00 CJ CJ CO OJ 8 BJIBJIV o> C3> 00 us oo 00 g us 00 £5 § OJ CJ 00 CO CO us OJ us CO us OJ CO us CI OJ CM C] OJ us § • 00 CO CO CI us 00 CO us d CO oo CO eo l!B|V o> 1^ to 00 c« o oo Ol CO us s us US s s 1-4 00 us us 00 s o CO us us ■o g joAoio a^iiiM 1^ 00 s us oo us CO s CO 00 us c^ 00 s us OJ us s o CO 00 us c» 00 00 us s jOAojo poy CO s us s us us 00 ■n s to 00 1^ OJ CO 00 h- t^ s £; s us s o o us E5 00 us oo 8 1 1 CO IT) (£> r~ d t 1 1 1 1 1 1 ■n Si CM s s s?

Of the smaller seed, such as the grasses and clovers, about three or four tablespoonfuls is a sufficient amount to send for testing. Of the larger seeds, as corn and oats, about a cupful is necessary. The follow- ing information should accompany all samples: Name and address of wholesale and retail dealer, retail price, and name and address of sender. Samples should be securely wrapped and addressed to The North Carolina Seed L.\boratory, Department of Agriculture, Raleigh, N. C. The Bulletin 11 TABLE No. 4.
