Consulting The Farmer
About Fertilizing Practices
REPRESENTATIVE SOUTHERN FARMERS SELECTED BY COUNTY
AGENTS, TELL WHAT THEY ARE DOING THROUGH THE
USE OF FERTILIZERS—VALUABLE DATA OF
PRACTICAL SORT
By J. N. Harper, Director, Soil Improvement Committee, Atlanta,Ga.
What do the fanners themselves say
about the use of fertilizers? Certainly
no one Is more qualified to speak as
to their value than they. This ques
tion has been asked of a great many
farmers in the Southeast, and their
answers are most enlightening.
The writer obtained through the
County Demonstration Agents the
names of more than a thousand o*r
the most representative farmers liv
ing in the states of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Qeorgia. To these
were sent a questionnaire asking for
Information as to the yield obtained
from cotton and oorn, and the formula
and amount of fertilizer used. They
were also asked to give the soli type.
Several hundred answers were receiv
ed ' these have been carefully clas
sifh ^ ccording to crop yields.
Results on Cotton Yields.
Grouping the reports of the fanners
from the Coastal Plain Region, the foi
lowing results were shown:
Average Yield Average Amt
Lint Cotton Of Fertilizer
Per Acre Used Per Acre.
166 Dbe.300 Lbs.
260 Lba.376 Lbs.
376 Lbs.. .... .613 Lbs.
600 Lbs.645 Lbs.
625 Lbs.780 Lbs.
750 Lbs.810 Lbs.
1,000 Lbs.960 Lbs.
The average formula of the fertilizer
|used was S.6 per cent phosphoric acid,
8.2 per cent nitrogen, and 3.2 per cent
potaBli.
Grouping the reports of the farmers
of the Piedmont Region according to
the yields obtained, the following facts
are shown:
Average Yield Average Amt.
Lint Cotton Of Fertilizer
Pv-r Acre. Used Per Acre.
320 Lbs.200 to 300 Lbs.
t 886 Lbs.400 to 500 Lbs.
438 Lbs.600 to 700 Lbs.
I 640 Lbs.800 Lba.
The fertilizer formula for cotton
used on the sandy clay loams of this
region averaged 8.6 per cent phosphoric
acid, 3.65 per cent nitrogen, and 8.11
per cent potash.
Quite a number of farmers in both
regions reported the use of nitrate of
eoda as a side application in addition
to the fertilizer. The quantity used
ranged from 40 to 100 lbs. per acre.
Resulte On Corn Yields.
The average yield of corn from all
those reporting from the Coastal Plains
to Hon was 36.3 bushels per acre and
he average amount of fertilizer used
was 444 pounds.
The average formula of this fertil
;zer was 8.4 per cent phosphoric acid,
3.1 per cent nitrogen, and 2.6 per cent
potash.
After classifying the reports accord
ng to yields, the following results
>vere obtained:
Average Yield Average Amt
Of Corn Of Fertilizer
Per Acre. Used Per Acre.
20 Bushels.310 Lbs.
25 Bushels.335 Lbs.
30 Bushels.404 Lbs.
35 Bushels.450 Lbs.
40 Bushels.469 Lbs.
45 Bushels.56S Lbs.
The reports from the Piedmont Re
gion showed the average yield from all
reporting as 33.2 bushels of corn per
ere with the average amount of fer
ilizer 330 pounds.
The formula averaged 8.7 per cent
hospboric acid, 2.6 per cent nitrogen,
ind 1.9 per cent potash. The formula
■eportod for bo1h cotton and corn was
given as used prior to the World War
Classifying the reports into grouj
according to yields, the following^
ults are shown:
Average Yield Avera;
Of Corn OfFej
Per Acre. Used
15 Bushels .... 183'
25 Bushels.281 Lbs.
30 Bushels. 350 Lbs.
45 Bushels.600 Lbs.
The above results from the farmers
themselves strikingly coincide with the
results obtained at the southern exper
iment stations, and these figures show
that as the use of fertilizers Is In
creased, so Is agricultural production
Increased.
Many thousands of acres of land in
| the Coastal Plains of the South, when
first cleared, did not produce more
than 19 bushels of corn per acre. To
day, they are producing from 40 to 80
bushels, by the liberal use of fertilizers.
Crop yields must bo greatly in
creased to meet the constantly grow
I iBg demand for foodstuffs and other
I agricultural products. The most eco
nomical way to produce ereps is by
Increasing the acre yield, and there are
but two ways of doing this—by hotter
cultural methods and by the more lib
I eral use of plant food.
