SiE : — I submit herewith manuscript covering the inspection of il- luminating oil in North Carolina since July 1, 1909, when the act be- came effective; also some general information concerning kerosene oil, lamps, etc. This bulletin was prepared by the late Dr. W. A. Syme, whose death occurred December 15, 1909. I recommend its publication as a special bulletin of the Department of Agriculture. Very respectfully, Manlius Ore, Assistant Oil Chemist. To Hon. W. A. Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture. Dr. William Anderson Syme, son of the late Mr. Andrew Syme and Mrs. Annie Bryan Syme, was horn July 11, 1879, in Raleigh, N. C. He was prepared for college at the Raleigh Male Academy, taking high honors in his classes, and en- tered the sophomore class of the A. and M. College in the fall of 1896, graduating in 1899 with the de- gree of B. S. In the fall of 1903 he entered Johns HopMns University, and three years thereafter had the degree of Doctor of Philosophy conferred upon him by that institution — the highest honor within its gift. Before completing his course at the Johns Hop- kins University he was elected Assistant Professor of Chemistry in the A. and M. College and Assistant Chemist to the Experiment Station, which position he filled luith eminent success. A year ago Dr. Syme was elected President of the North Carolina Section of the American Chemical Society — a high testimonial of the esteem of his pro- fessional associates. He was the author of several treatises, the most conspicuous among them being his dissertation on ''Some Constituents of the Poison Ivy" and "The Colorimetric Determination of Ni- trates in Soil Solutions Containing Organic Matter." Upon the organization of the Division of Oil In- spection by the N. C. Agricultural Department he ivas appointed State Oil Chemist in May, 1909, and filled that position until his death on December 15, 1909. He was efficient and painstaking in his duties, and if spared ivould have reached a high position in his profession. J^TU^JdA^^y^ INSPECTION OF ILLUMINATING OILS AND FLUIDS. INTRODUCTION. The Division of Oil Inspection of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture was organized by the Board of Agriculture in June, 1909, for the purpose of carrying out an act of the General Assembly providing for the inspection of illuminating oils and fluids. The act (ch. 554, Laws of 1909) is as follows: AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE INSPECTION OF ILLUMINATING OILS AND FLUIDS. The General Assemhly of Nortlt. Carolina do enact: Section 1. That all kerosene or other illumiuating oils sold or offered for sale in this State for illuminating purposes shall be subject to inspection and test to determine the safety and value for illuminating purposes. All mami- facturei-s, wholesalers and jobbers, before selling or offering for sale in this State any kerosene or other oil for illuminating purposes, shall file with the Commissioner of Agriculture a statement that they desire to do business in the State, and furnish the name or brand of the oil or oils which it is desired to sell, with the name and address of the manufacturer, and that the oil or oils will comply with the requirements of this act. The Department of Agriculture shall have'power at all times and at all places to have collected samples of any illuminating oils offered for sale, and have the same analyzed. The inspection of oils, as authorized in this act, shall be under the direction of the Board of Agriculture, which is authorized to make all necessary rules and regulations for the inspection of such oils and to adopt standards as to safety, purity or absence from objectionable substances and luminosity when not in contlict with the provisions of this act and which they may deem necessary to provide the people of the State with satisfactory illuminating oil. Sec. 2. The Board of Agriculture shall appoint such number of oil inspectors as will be necessary, not exceeding one for each congressional district, whose compensation shall" be fixed by the Board of Agriculture, not to exceed one thousand dollars and expenses each per annum. Each inspector, before enter- ing upon his duties, shall take an oath of office before some person authorized to administer oaths. The inspector shall have power to examine all barrels, tanks or other vessels containing kerosene or other illuminating oils, to see that they are properly tagged as required in this act, and they shall, as directed, collect and test samples of oil offered for sale in different sections of the State, and when instructed collect and send samples to the Department of Agriculture for examination. Sec. 3. For the purpose of defraying expenses connected with the inspection, testing and analyzing oils in this State, there shall be paid to the Commis- sioner of Agriculture a charge of one-half cent per gallon, which payment shall be made before delivery to agents, dealers or consumers in this State. Each barrel, tank, tank car or other container of oil shall have attached thereto a tag or stamp stating that all charges specified in this section have been paid ; and the Commissioner of Agriculture, with the advice and consent of the board, is hereby empowered to prescribe a form for such tags: Provided, that they shall be such as to meet the requirements of the trade in oils, and to adopt such rules and regulations as will insure the enforcement of this law. Where oil is shipped in tank cars or other larger containers, the manufacturer or job- ber shall give notice to the Commissioner of Agriculture of every shipment, with the name and address of the person, company or corporation to whom it is sent, and the number of gallons, on the day the shipment is made. Sec. 4. All moneys received under the provisions of this act shall be paid into the State Treasury and kept as a distinct fund, to.be styled "the oil insiiec- 2— January 6 The Bulletin. tion fund." All checks or orders in payment for tags or stamps shall be made payable to the State Treasurer. The Commissioner of Agriculture is author- ized to draw out of said fund, upon his warrants, such sums as may be neces- sary to pay all expenses incurred in connection with this act, including salary of oil chemist or chemists, cost of Inspection, tags, blanks, etc. Sec. 5. The State Treasurer shall, on the first day of June and December each year, turn into the general fund of the State all moneys of the oil fund in his hands in excess of the amount drawn out by the Commissioner of Agri- culture for expenses. Sec 6. The Commissioner of Agi-iculture shall include in his report to the General Assembly an account of the operations and expenses under this act. Sec. 7. Whenever a complaint is made to the Department of Agriculture in regard to the illuminating qualities of any oil sold in this State the commis- sioner shall cause a sample of said oil or oils complained of to be procured and have the same thoroughly aualyzetl and tested as to safety and illuminating qualities. If such analysis or other tests shall show that the oil is either unsafe or of inferior illuminating quality, its sale shall be forbidden and report of the result or results be sent to the party making the complaint and to the manufacturer of said oil. Sec. 8. Every person who shall fraudulently brand or stamp any package or barrel or other vessel, or use a stamp a second time, or keep any kerosene or other illuminating oil not marked and branded in accordance with the regula- tions of the Board of Agriculture, or violate any other provision of this act or any regulation adopted by the Board of Agriculture for its enforcement, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not less than two hundred dollars ($200) for each offense nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000). Sec. 9. If any person, manufacturer or dealer shall sell or offer for sale in this State any of said illuminating oils and fluids before first having the same labeled and tagged as required by the regulations adopted by the Board of Agriculture, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction be fined not exceeding three hundred dollars ($300), and the said oils and fluids be forfeited and sold, and the proceeds thei'eof go to the common school fund of the State. If any manufacturer or dealer of said illuminating oils or fluids shall, with intent to deceive or defraud, alter or erase the label or tag to indi- cate a different flash test, gravity or quantity than is indicated by the label or stamp attached to the vessel, he shall on conviction be fined not exceeding fifty dollars ($50) for every such offense. Sec. 10. Any inspector who, while in oflSce, shall be interested, directly or indirectly, in the manufacture or vending of any of the illuminating oils, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction shall be fined not less than three hundred dollars ($300). Sec. 11. All prosecutions for fines and penalties under the provisions of this act shall be by indictment in a court of competent jurisdiction. Sec 12. The provisions of this act shall not apply to the retail dealer in oils unless such retail dealer shall sell or offer to sell oils of a manufacturer, whole- saler or jobber who refuses to comply with the provisions of this act. Sec. 13. This act shall be in force from and after July first, one thousand nine hundred and nine. Ratified this the 8th day of March, A. D. 1909. By virtue of the authority conferred upon the Board of Agricul- ture by the act, regulations governing the work of inspection were dra-\vn up by the Commissioner of Agriculture and the Oil Committee of the Board. Representatives of the oil companies doing business in the State were invited to be present at the meeting of the Board in June and at subsequent meetings of the Oil Committee in order that the regulations for putting the act into effect might be so ad- justed as to give as little trouble as possible to all concerned. The regulations now in force are as follows: The Bulletin. 7 REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE CON- CERNING ILLUMINATING OILS AND FLUIDS. [Chapter 554, Laws of 1909.) 1. The statement required of manufacturers and others desiring to sell oil in this State, in section 1 of this act, shall be in substance as follows : COMMISSIONEB OF AGRICLTLTURE, Raleigh, N. C. The desires to sell in North Carolina the following brands of illuminating oils : (1) (Name) (2) (Name) Manufactured or sold by , whose address is P. O And it is stipulated that said oils shall comply with the requirements of chapter 554, Laws of 1909, and the regulations of the Board of Agriculture made by authority of said act. (Signature) 2. There shall be placed upon each tank car before the same is emptied, and upon all other original packages, tax stamps as required in section 3 of chap- ter 554, Laws of 1909 ; also the name under which the oil is sold, the name of the manufacturer or wholesale dealer and the date of filling. No tax stamps shall be required upon a vessel filled from a container upon which the tax has been paid, but same must show the amount of oil it contains, the location of the tax-paid container from which it was filled, and the date of filling. Where wagons are filled from stationary tanks they must have attached the location of such tanks, and all invoices for oil to retail dealers delivered from such wagons shall show the name of station from which operated and number of gallons sold. 3. Where oil is brought into this State in wagons, each wagon must have stamps attached to cover the amount of oil it contains, and with each and every sale in this State from such wagons there must be given a statement, invoice or tag, showing the name of the company operating the wagon, number of the wagon, quantity of oil sold and date of sale. Where oil is brought into this State in wagons which also contain oil for sale in other States, a separate compartment must be provided in such wagons for oil sold or offered for sale in North Carolina, and stamps must be attached to said compartment to cover the amount of oil it contains ; and with each and every sale in this State from such compartment there must be given a state- ment, invoice or tag, showing the name of the company operating the wagon, number of the wagon, quantity of oil sold and date of sale. Unless this sepa- rate compartment is provided, oil companies will have to pay the tax on all oil brought into this State in wagons. 4. By authority of section 2 of said act, there shall be appointed ten inspectors. 5. Each inspector shall examine all tank cars, barrels, drums, cans or other containei-s found in his district, and in other districts when directed by the 8 The Bulletin. Coiniuissiouer ; see that the law is fully complied with, and collect samples as directed and send to the Department for analj-sis by the State Oil Chemist. 6. Each inspector shall receive three dollars per day and actual expenses while at work. 7. The Commissioner of Agriculture shall have prepared tax stamps of such denominations and in such quantities as may be deemed necessary to execute this act. The Secretary of the Board shall have charge of these stamps and deliver to the Oil Clerk from time to time such amounts as will be necessary to sui)ply the demand, and shall make settlement quarterly of the amounts of tags disposed of. 8. All kerosenes or other oils usually used for illuminating purposes offered for sale or sold in this State for other use shall have plainly marked on the container in letters at least two inches high, or plainly printed on a tag attached thereto, "Not for Illuminating Purposes. Highly Inflammable." Such oil is not subject to taxation. Using or selling it for illuminating pur- poses shall be a violation of section 8 of the act. 9. Shipment by car load of oil in barrels, drams or other containers shall be reported to the Commissioner, as is required for shipment in tank cars or other large containers by section 3, chapter 554, Laws of 1900. 10. No person shall offer to a common carrier for shipment empty barrels used for illuminating oils upon which the tax stamps have not been canceled. 11. The record of the tank-car book furnished by the railroad companies as to the capacity of each tank car will be accepted by the Department. 12. The flash test of illuminating oils shall not be less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, as tested by the Elliott method — closed cup — according to direc- tions ])repared by the State Oil Chemist. 13. The State Oil Chemist shall analyze such samples as deemed necessary to ascertain safety and objectionable substances, purity and luminosity, and report to the Commissioner of Agriculture any standards he deems advisable to be established in these particulars. 14. The Commissioner, with the approval of the Oil Committee, may suspend or change any of these regulations until the ensuing meeting of the Board. W. A. GRAHAM, Raleigh, N. C, December 21, 1909. Commissioner. The work of the ten inspectors consists in the collection of samples of oils, which are sent to the laboratory at Raleigh for analysis by the Oil Chemist, and in the cancellation of stamps, gauging of vessels containing illuminating oils, and seeing that they are properly labeled. It is also their duty to see that the law and regulations are carried out in every way. This work, which entails a voluminous cor- respondence, is handled by the Oil Clerk of the Department of Agriculture. It is also the duty of the Oil Clerk to deliver the stamps to the oil companies and dealers upon the demand for the same and to make settlement with the State Treasurer for the quan- tity delivered. He also keeps the books and records of the office. SOURCE OF KEROSENE. Kerosene oil is a natural product obtained from petroleum by the process of distillation. Crude American petroleum is an interesting and complex mixture of a great number of compounds known in chemistry as "hydro- carbons." These substances are composed entirely of carbon and The Bulletin. 9 hydrogen, and are closely related chemically, though their physical properties are different. They may be divided roughly into two classes. The simplest of these compounds are gases like marsh gas, the ''fire damp" of coal mines. When mixed with air in proper proportions these gases are dangerous explosives. The second group contains liquids of different degrees of volatility and gravity from the light benzine or petroleum ether to the heavy lubricating oils. Kerosene falls in the middle portion of this group. The third group contains solids and is the source of our vaseline and paraffin wax. All these different substances are found intimately blended by nature in the homogeneous-looking crude petroleum. The method of separating the crude material into these various usefid products is essentially a process of fractional distillation. When crude petroleum is heated in a distilling apparatus the explosive gases are driven out first. As the temperature rises the volatile liquids, like petroleum ether and benzine, come off. Eoughly speaking, this portion distils between 40° C. and 150° C. On further increase in the heat, the portion known as kerosene distils. A good kerosene should distil between 150° C. and 300° C. This portion is used on a large scale for lighting and cooking. That part of the crude petroleum which remains in the still above 300° C. contains the heavy oils and vaseline. Kerosene is usually a colorless or yellowish liquid, often having a decided blue fluorescence. It imparts its characteristic taste to water, although it is practically insoluble in that liquid. It is only slightly soluble in alcohol, but mixes in all proportions with ether, chloroform, benzine, gasoline, and fixed oils, except castor oil. It ■ is a good solvent for many organic substances, and will also dissolve phosphorus, sulphur, and iodine. The specific gravity of ordinary American kerosene is about 0.790 to 0.80 (47 degrees to 45 degrees Baume). TESTING OF KEROSENE OIL. For contract purposes, the color, odor, specific gravity and flash- ing point are the characters usually to be determined. The burning point or fire test is sometimes taken instead of the flash test; but this is not to be recommended. Of these, the flash test is the one most generally recognized in legal enactments for securing safety. For special purposes, it is often necessary to examine kerosene as to its composition as ascertained by fractional distillation, its il- luminating power as determined by photometric tests, its freedom from sulphur compounds, its acidity or alkalinity and the amount of ash or mineral matter which it will leave on complete com- bustion. Good kerosene should be water-white or light yellow, with or with- out blue fluorescence. A decided yellow color often indicates im- 10 The Bulletin. perfect purification or the presence of heavy oils. Kerosene which has been exposed to light often acquires a yellow color and does not burn as well as the same oil would burn if protected from light. The gravity test is usually made with a hydrometer, but when greater accuracy is required a weighing tube or a picnomtter is used. Oils of high gravity do not ascend the wick as well as lighter oils, do not give as much light, and char the wick. A test of kerosene oils by burning them in similar lamps and noting the rates of consumption and the comparative intensities of light yielded gives a good idea of the nature of the oil. Kerosenes containing a large proportion of light oils give a better light, but burn faster than others, while the presence of heavy oils retards the consumption and diminishes the light. An oil containing an excess of both light and heavy oils may give a good light at first, but after a while the flame will diminish in size and luminosity, and the wick will begin to char. The absence of an objectionable portion of heavy oil as indicated by a distillation test, and the light-giving power, are important characteristics in judging the quality of a sample of kerosene. FLASH TEST. The flash test determines whether an oil is safe for household use. The danger involved in the use of kerosene is traceable to the presence in the oil *of some of the volatile products whose vapor forms an explosive mixture with air. For the purpose of ascertaining whether a sample of kerosene contains these more volatile substances its -flash-point is determined by heating it slowly in a specially con- structed apparatus and observing the temperature at which the mix- ture of vapor and air over the surface of the oil can just be ex- ploded. By the flash-point, then, we mean the temperature at which the oil will give off a vapor that will explode when mixed with air in proper proportions. Any kerosene oil, therefore, is dangerous at its flashing temperature, but experience has shown that there is very little danger with a flashing temperature of 100° F. The flash-point should be higher than any temperature to which the oil is exposed. Since the temperature in the climate of North Carolina often goes above 90° F., to say nothing of the temperature in the bowl of the lamp, which is several degrees higher than the outside air, the Board of Agriculture requires that all illuminating oils sold in the State shall stand a flash test of 100° F. in the Elliott Closed Cup. There are several instruments in common use for making the flash test, but the Elliott Cup is regarded as the most accurate for ordinary use, for the reason that it indicates more exactly the temperature at which the oil begins to give off an explosive vapor. The Bulletin. 11 A number of factors influence the determination of the flash- point of an oil and cause it to vary according to the conditions under which the test is made, e. g., the rate of heating, the size and depth of the cup, the quantity of oil taken for the test, currents of air — in fact, any cause producing the rapid evolution of a large amount of vapor tends to lower the flash-point. Difl"erent types of instru- mewts for taking the flash-point also give different results. This fact is brought out in Table 1, which gives the flash-point of a number of samples made with the Elliott Cup, the Open Tagliabue Cup, and the Foster Cup. The results with the Elliott Cup are uni- formly lower than the others. TABLE I. Oil Number. Laboratory- Number. Elliott Flash. Tagliabue Flash. Foster Flash. 1 100 Deg.

RELATION BETWEEN FLASH-POINT AND DANGER. Danger from explosions is always present when inflammable vapors and air are mixed together. This condition may arise in the bowl of any lamp, for above the liquid kerosene there is always kerosene vapor and there is always air, the proportions of each depending upon the temperature of the oil. The higher the temperature, the greater the proportion of the oil vapor. The explosion is most violent when the amount of air present is exactly sufficient to burn the vapor completely. This proportion is about 50 volumes of air to one volume of oil vapor. An excess of either air or oil vapor above this propor- tion serves as a cushion to moderate the force of whatever explosion does occur. Of course, an explosion cannot take place unless the flame reaches the inflammable mixture. Contact between the ex- plosive mixture and the flame is frequently brought about by the use of a wick too small for the burner. The danger of explosion in lamps having metal reservoirs is in- finitely less than in glass lamps. The reason for this lies in the fact that glass being a poor conductor of heat, the oil in the lamp does not get as hot as in the metal vessels, consequently an explosive mixture of oil vapor and air (one volume to fifty) would be more readily reached in the glass lamp than in the metal lamp, where the proportion of oil vapor is much greater. When the oil vapor is in great excess the mixture is not explosive. If low-flash oils be spilled and a flame applied, the fire spreads much more rapidly than with an oil of high flash-point, and thus the upsetting of a lamp containing low-flash oil is more dangerous than if it contained oil of higher flash, especially if the temperature of the oil be somewhat raised, as is usually the case. If a lighted lamp filled with high-flash oil is upset, it will most probably be ex- tinguished, for this kind of oil will not onlv not ignite at ordinary temperatures, but will extinguish flame. ILLUMINATING POWER. In securing a safe oil, we must not lose sight of the fact that heavy oil does not give good light except with burners of strong draught. As already stated, it causes charring of the wick. It is the purpose of the oil-inspection law to secure for the State oil of good illuminat- ing power as well as safe oil, and the Board of Agriculture is au- thorized to adopt such standards for luminosity as may be deemed necessary to insure this. It has been thought advisable not to adopt at present a fixed standard for luminosity in candle power, although this may be done later. Newberry & Cutter in an article on The Safety of Commercial Kerosene Oil (Amer. Chemical Journal, vol. 10, p. ^^Gl), say: "If The Bulletin. 13 refiners would be content to make a little less oil, leaving out some of the benzine, and some of the hibricating oil as well, there would be no difficulty in producing illuminating oils of high flashing point and excellent illuminating power. ''The well-known astral oil, which flashes at 125° F., is a standing protest against the claim of superior burning qualities of low-grade oils. This is simply the heart of the burning oil freed from both lighter and heavier deleterious ingredients. Tests made by the authors have shown that the above-mentioned brand burns admirably in modern lamps and by photometric tests gives results fully equal to any in the market." There are some excellent oils of comparatively low gravity, high flash, and uniform composition, as shown by the distillation test, ■ and good illuminating power, now on the market in this State. Oils of this kind burn uniformly with a clear, steady flame, without smok- ing and with very little charring and incrustation of the wick. It is the wish of the Division of Oil Inspection to secure this kind of oil for the State, and the oil companies have expressed a desire to co- operate with the Department for this purpose. SULPHUR. Sulphur compounds not only have an injurious effect upon the il- luminating power of kerosene, but produce corrosive and poisonous gases when the oil is burned. Sulphur is present to a small extent in natural oils. The peculiar bad color of some of the Ohio oils was found to be duo to tlio presence of an unusually large amount of sulj)hur coini;u:u;ds. CARE OF LAMPS. In order to have good light, we must have good lamps as well as good oil. Lamps must be kept clean. When oil burns in a lamp the lighter portions burn out first. Consequently, after filling a lamp several times there is an accumula- tion of heavy oil in the lamp which does not burn well. This oil should be poured out and the lamp should be rinsed out with good oil and refilled. Keep the burners clean and remove the charred portion of the wick. The oil should be kept in clean cans or bottles and should be protected from dust, water and sunlight. Water in the oil causes a spluttering light. Wicks should fit the wick-holder snugly without having to be squeezed into it. After each night's use, the charred portion of the wick should be removed. When the wick gets too short to reach to the bottom of the lamp, put in a new one. Coloring matter does not improve the quality of oil, but may accumulate in the pores of the wick and so retard the pas- sage of the oil through it. 3 — January 14 The Bulletin.

The examination of samples sent in bj inspectors was commenced early in July, but was discontinued on account of a restraining order of the United States Circuit Court while the constitutionality of the law was being tested. After the dissolution of the restraining order, the testing of oils was resumed. The oil companies were granted an extension of time until October 20, 1909, to remove from the State all oil flashing below 100° F. Up to this time (October 20th) 329 samples of illuminating oils Avere examined. The following table gives the number of samples from each of the oil companies doing business in the State and the per cent of the total number of samples furnished by each of the several companies up to October 20th: Name of Company. Per Cent of] Total. Standard Oil Company Red "C" Oil Manufacturing Company National Oil Company North Carolina Oil Company Crown Oil and Wax Company Cape Fear Oil Company ) Gulf Refining Company i Indian Refining Company Richmond Oil Company Chas. H. Moore Company Freedom Oil Company Unknown sample Total number of samples -. 100.00 16 The Bulletin. It is interesting to note the gradual rise in flash-point since the first of July, especially in the samples of the Standard Oil Com- pany. This is shown in the following tables : STANDARD OIL COMPANY. Average flash-point of 13 samples collected in July " 57 " " in September " 125 " " October 1st to 20th " 12 " " October 20th to November 1st. Total 207 samples. 92.6° F. 98.0° F. 104.0° F. 103.7° F.

None of the samples sent in by the other oil companies named above flashed as low as 100° F., even in July. In fact, the only companies which had oil flashing under 100° F. were the Standard The Bulletin. 17 Oil Company, the Ked "C" Oil Manufacturing Company, and the National Oil Company; but these three companies together furnished 90 per cent of the samples examined. The following table gives some idea of the distribution of the bad oil (i. e., oil flashing under 100° F.) over the State before October 20, 1909 : First District 3 samples. Second District 8 samples. Third District 6 samples. Fourth District 5 samples. Fifth District 5 samples. Sixth District 3 samples. Seventh District 7 samples. Eighth District 3 samples. Ninth District 7 samples. Tenth District 6 samples. Total 53 samples or 16.1 per cent of the total number examined.

IREDELL TEST FARM. Work in the testing of varieties of both cotton and corn was carried on here last season. Table No. 2 shows the results of the variety tests of corn on the Cecil loam soils, of which this farm is largely composed. The test included 37 varieties. It will be noted that the highest yields here ran somewhat lower than those at the Edgecombe Farm. Parker's Cock's, which ranked among the low yielders at the Edgecombe Farm, made the highest yield here. But five of the varieties made over 30 bushels per acre. The average weight of a bushel of shelled corn is somewhat lower on this farm than on the Edgecombe Farm, but a large number of the varieties have more than the standard number of pounds per bushel. Parker's Cock's Prolific, Wilson's Success, and Boone County Spe- cial led in yields here the past year, while Selection 77 and Peele's made the smallest yields per acre. The prolific corns make the largest yields here, as they do at the Edgecombe Farm. The smallest eared variety, as shown by the table, was Biggs' Seven Ear, which required 200 ears to shell one bushel. There were 21 varieties of cotton under test on this farm the past season. Table No. 3 shows the results of the test. The yield of seed cotton only is given. There will be noted a wide difference in the yields of the different varieties. The value of the seed cotton at 5 cents a pound ran all the way from $18.37 in the case of the Peterkin to $51.75 in the case of King's Improved — a difference of $33.38 in favor of King's Improved. The ten highest yielding varieties were King's Improved, Mis- sionary, Shine's Extra Early Prolific, Pullnot, Ninety Day, Alex- ander Money-maker, Culpepper's Improved, Simpkins' Early Pro- lific, Russell Big Boll Prolific, and Brown's No. 1. Most of these are small-boiled cottons, which seem better suited to this part of the cotton belt than do the larger boiled sorts. King's Improved has been grown in this part of the State for a long time and seems to have become adapted to the soil and climatic conditions existing here, and is now ready to do its best work. Column 1 shows the relative germination of the different va- rieties. It will be noted that no variety had over 86 per cent germina- tion, while some fell as low as 40 per cent. It is very desirable that all seed for planting should have at least 80 per cent germination, but this condition of the seed can be had only by careful handling to prevent heating and subsequent fermentation. It would be well for each planter to test the germination of his cotton seed and seed corn before planting. To do this it is only necessary to take a small sample of 100 seed and plant them in a box containing moist soil and allow them to sprout. The number that comes up and grows off well will represent the percentage of germination. In this way the relative vitality of the seed can be easily ascertained. The Bulletin. 9 In order to ascertain whether a large one-eared variety of corn, if planted thick enough, would yield as much per acre as a prolific variety, a test was planned with three different varieties, two prolific varieties and one one-eared variety, to find their yielding power at different distances in the row. Table No. 4 shows the results of this test. It will be noted that for an average of all distances in the row, Cock's Prolific yielded 22.3, Weekley's Improved 19.6, and Holt's Strawberry, the large one-eared variety, 15.1 bushels per acre. The yield of stover, however, was greater in case of the one-eared variety, but not enough greater to compensate for the re- duction in yield of grain. 10 The Bulletin.

It has long been of special interest to know jnst how far apart in the row to plant corn in order to make the largest yields. It is evi- dent that the exact distance will depend on the type of soil, its relative fertility, and the variety of corn used. With these factors in mind, the Department planned an exiDeriment on the Cecil loam soil of the Iredell Test Farm with a view to ascertain the proper spacing in the row to obtain the highest yield of corn. The soil was of medium fertility and the variety used was Weekley's Improved. Table l\o. 5 shows the results of this test. From this table it would seem that for this type of soil in its present state of fertility a corn plant of this variety, to do its best, would need about 71/2 square feet of soil in which to grow. The area required by the plant will necessarily vary with soil, seasonal and cultural conditions, and the results here given can be of value only in the way of sug- gestion to those who have the red loam soils in this part of the State. An effort has been made, also, to ascertain the proper spacing of cotton in the row for best results. The variety used was King's Improved and the soil was Cecil loam of medium fertility. Table No. 6 shows results of this test in pounds of seed cotton per acre. It will be noted that the most seed cotton per acre was produced in rows 39 inches apart, with plants 20 inches apart in the row. The second highest yield was obtained from rows 39 inches apart with plants 24 inches apart in the row. It would seem, therefore, that on this type of soil with medium fertility, the usual custom of planting cotton 15 inches apart in 3- or 4-foot rows might be changed with advantage. BUNCOMBE TEST FARM. A duplicate test was made with corn on the Buncombe Test Farm the past season. One of the tests was placed on the Porter's loam soil that occupies the foothills in the mountains generally ; the other was placed on the Toxaway loam found in the Swannanoa and French Broad river bottoms. This duplicate test was planned in order to ascertain any difference in the relative adaptability of the varieties to the upland and bottomland soils in this section of the State. The results obtained on the Porter's loam soil are shown in Table Xo. 7. There are wide differences in the yields, ranging from 13iV bushels per acre in the case of the Patton variety to 28 bushels in the case of Thompson's Prolific and Boone County White. It will be noted, however, that Boone County White had but 76 per cent of a perfect stand, while Thompson's Prolific had a perfect stand. Had Boone County White had a perfect stand it is but fair to assume that it would "have out-yielded the former, as all other influencing factors were the same for both varieties. The Bulletin. 15 It is likely true that most of the corn in this part of the moun- tain section of the State is grown on bottomland soil, and for this reason a test was planned on the representative bottomland soil of this section. Table No. 8 shows the results of this test. Column 2 shows the percentage of germination of the different varieties, while column 3 shows how much each variety had shrunk from September 30th to January 5th. This column is of special interest in that it will be found that the shrinkage is very different for the different varieties. It ranges from nothing in case of Boone County White, Leaming Yellow, and Keid's Yellow Dent, to 36 per cent in case of Pride of Ingold. It will be interesting to compare the yields on the bottomland soil with those of the same variety on the upland soil. The two tests were made within 300 yards of each other. It will be found that Patton, which made the lowest yield on the upland soil, led all others in yield on the bottomland soil. The four highest yielders on the bottomland soil were : Patton, Selection 77, Bradburry's Im- proved, and Boone County White, while the four highest yielders on the upland soil were: Thompson's Prolific, Boone County White, Cock's Prolific, and Hickory King. 16 The Bulletin.

Sir : — I submit herewith analyses of fertilizers made in the labora- tory of samples collected during the past fall. These analyses show fertilizers to be about as heretofore, and to be, generally, what was claimed for them. I recommend that it be issued as the March Bulletin. Very respectfully, B. W. KiLGORE, State Chemist, To Hon. William A. Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture. I. ANALYSES OF FERTILIZERS— FALL SEASON, 1909. B. W. KILGORE, State Chemist. Bt W. G. HAYWOOD. Fertilizer Chemist, AND J. M. PICKEL, J. Q. JACKSON and W. H. STROWD, Assistant Chemists. The analyses presented in this Bulletin are of samples collected by the fertilizer inspectors of the Department, under the direction of the Commissioner of Agriculture, during the fall months of 1909. 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 actually used, the farmer can know by, or before, the time fertilizers are put in the ground whether or not they contain the fertilizing constituents in the amounts they were claimed to be present. TERMS USED IN ANALYSES. Water-soluble PJiosphoric A ctcZ.— 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 phosphate has three parts of lime united to the phosphoric acid (called by chemists tri-calcium phos- phate). 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 sul- phuric 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 lime united to the phosphoric acid. This one-lime phosphate is what is known as water-soluble phosphoric acid. Reverted PJiosphoric 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 phos- phoric acid, and is thus an intermediate product between water- soluble and the original rock. Water-soluble phosphoric acid is considered somewhat more valu- able than reverted, because it becomes better distributed in the soil as a consequence of its solubility in water. Available Phosphoric Acid is made up of the water-soluble and reverted ; it is the sum of these two. 6 The Bulletin. Water-soluble Ammonia. — The main materials furnishing am- monia 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 am- monia 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. VALUATIONS. To have a basis for comparing the values of different fertilizer materials and fertilizers, it is necessary to assign prices to the three valuable constituents of fertilizers — ammonia, phosphoric acid, and potash. These figures, expressing relative value per ton, are not intended to represent crop-producing power, or agricultural value, but are estimates of the commercial value of "ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash in the materials supplying them. These values are only approximate (as the costs of fertilizing materials are liable to change, as other commercial products 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 condi- tions, wholesale and retail, and upon quotations of manufacturers. The Bulletin. 7 Relative value per ton, or the figures showing this, represents 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, phosphoric acid and potash. This costs something. For this reason it is thought well to have two sets of valuations — one for the raw or unmixed materials, such as acid phosphate, kainit, cotton-seed meal, etc., and one for mixed fertilizers. The values used last season were : VALUATIONS FOR 1909. In Unmixed or Raw Materials. For phosphoric acid in acid phosphate. ... 4 cents per pound. For phosphoric acid in bone meal, basic slag and Peruvian guano 31^ cents per pound. For nitrogen 18 cents per pound. For potash 5 cents per pound. In Mixed Fertilizers. For phosphoric acid 41/^ cents per pound. For nitrogen 19^ cents per pound. For potash 5I/2 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 hun- dred, 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 con- tains available phosphoric acid 8 per cent, potash 2 per cent, and nitrogen 1.65 per cent, the calculation is made as follows: Percentage, or Lbs. in 100 Lbs. ^-fi^rF^^ ^^^o^^^fl' ^°°' 100 Lbs. 2,000 Lbs. 8 pounds available phosphoric acid at ^% cents... 0.36 X20= $7.20 2 pounds potash at 5% cents 0.11 X20= 2.20 1.65 pounds nitrogen at 19^^ cents ^ 0.321x20= 6.42 Total value 0.791x20= $15.82 Freight and merchant's commission must be added to these prices. Freight rates from the seaboard and manufacturing centers to interior points are given in the following table : 8 The Bulletin.

Sir : — I submit herewith analyses of fertilizers made in the labora- tory of samples collected during the fall of 1909 and spring of 1910. These analyses show fertilizers to be about as heretofore, and to be, generally, what was claimed for them. I recommend that it be issued as the April Bulletin. Very respectfully, B. W. KiLGORE, state Chemist. To Hon. William A. Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture. I. ANALYSES OF FERTILIZERS— FALL AND SPRING, 1909-10. By B. W. KILGORE, W. G. HAYWOOD, J. M. PIGKEL. J. Q. JACKSON and W. H. STROWD. The analyses presented in this Bulletin are of samples collected by the fertilizer inspectors of the Department, under the direction of the Commissioner of Agriculture, during the fall of 1909 and the spring of 1910. 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 actually used, the farmer can know by, or before, the time fertilizers are put in the ground whether or not they contain the fertilizing constituents in the amounts they were claimed to be present. TERMS USED IN ANALYSES. Water-soluhle 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 phosphate has three parts of lime united to the phosphoric acid (called by chemists tri-calcium phos- phate). 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 sul-, phuric 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 lime united to the phosphoric acid. This one-lime phosphate is what is known as water-soluble phosphoric acid. Reverted Phosphoric 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 phos- phoric acid, and is thus an intermediate product between water- soluble and the original rock. Water-soluble phosphoric acid is considered somewhat more valu- able than reverted, because it becomes better distributed in the soil as a consequence of its solubility in water. Available Phosphoric Acid is made up of the water-soluble and reverted ; it is the sum of these two. Water-soluhle Ammonia. — The main materials furnishing am- monia in fertilizers are nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia, cotton- 6 The Bulletin. 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 am- monia 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. VALUATIONS. To have a basis for comparing the values of different fertilizer materials and fertilizers, it is necessary to assign prices to the three valuable constituents of fertilizers — ammonia, phosphoric acid, and potash. These figures, expressing relative value per ton, are not intended to represent crop-producing power, or agricultural value, but are estimates of the commercial value of ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash in the materials supplying them. These values are only approximate (as the costs of fertilizing materials are liable to change, as other commercial products 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 condi- tions, wholesale and retail, and upon quotations of manufacturers. The Bulletin. 7 Relative value per ton, or the figures showing this, represents 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, phosphoric acid and potash. This costs something. For this reason it is thought well to have two sets of valuations — one for the raw or unmixed materials, such as acid phosphate, kainit, cotton-seed meal, etc., and one for mixed fertilizers. The values used last season were : VALUATIONS FOR 1909. In Unmixed or Raw Materials. For phosphoric acid in acid phosphate. ... 4 cents per pound. For phosphoric acid in bone meal, basic slag and Peruvian guano S^/o cents per pound. For nitrogen 18 cents per pound. For potash 5 cents per pound. In Mixed Fertilizers. For phosphoric acid 4^ cents per pound. For nitrogen 19^ cents per pound. For potash 5I/2 cents per pound. The valuations decided on this season, for reasons already given, are : VALUATIONS FOR 1910. In Unmixed or Raw Materials. For phosphoric acid in acid phosphate 4 cents per pound. For phosphoric acid in bone meal, basic slag and Peruvian guano 31/^ cents per pound. For nitrogen 18 cents per pound. For potash 5 cents per pound. In Mixed Fertilizers. For available phosphoric acid 43/0 cents per pound. For nitrogen 191/2 cents per pound. For potash 51^ 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 hun- dred, and that there are twenty hundred pounds in one ton (2,000 pounds). t 8 The Bulletin. With an 8 — 2 — 1.65 goods, which means that the fertilizer con- tains available phosphoric acid 8 per cent, potash 2 per cent, and nitrogen 1.65 per cent, the calculation is made as follows : Percentage, or Lbs. m 100 Lbs. ^ame^^f ^"'roO^^Lb^' 8 pounds available phosphoric acid at 4% cents... 0.36 X20= $7.20 2 pounds potash at 5% cents 0.11 X20= 2.20 1.65 pounds nitrogen at 19 14 cents 0.321x20= 6.42 Total value 0.791x20= $15.82 Freight and merchant's commission must be added to these prices.

Sir: — I herewith submit the results of experimental tests made by Mr. S. B. Shaw, Assistant Horticulturist, in the home canning of fruits and vegetables. There is at this time every evidence of a large crop of fruits and vegetables throughout the State this year. At this the beginning of the canning season, I recommend that these results be published as the regular Bulletin for the month of May. Respectfully submitted, W. K HUTT, State Horticulturist. To Hon. Wm. A. Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture. THE HOME CANNING OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. By S. B. SHAW, Assistant Horticulturist. Because of the present high prices of food products, the question of the home production and canning of fruits and vegetables is one of vital importance to farmers throughout the entire country. Fruits and vegetables are a necessity, as a healthful diet is not complete without a certain amount of both. An abundance of fresh orchard and garden products can be had in season, but usually the winter supply of these foods must be purchased in the form of commercially canned goods. These are often poor substitutes for the fresh article, especially the cheaper grades, which lack the delicate flavor of the fresh products. In rural communities it is frequently the case that during the winter months the most delicious and wholesome fruits and vegetables are absent from the daily bill of fare. Pos- sibly some tomatoes are canned, some fruits preserved or dried, but the most nutritious vegetables and the most palatable fruits are al- lowed to spoil in the garden and orchard because of the impression that it is impossible to keep them. This is a mistake. It is just as easy to keep corn, peas and beans as it is to keep peaches and tomatoes — a fact which has been demonstrated by commercial packers who have canned almost everv varietv of fruit and vegetable. When the supply of fruit and vegetables is greater than the family needs, and a market is not convenient in which to dispose of this fresh produce, the surplus may be made a source of income by selling it in the form of canned goods. Sometimes those living near a con- venient market experience difficulty in finding a ready sale for their produce on account of the glutted condition often existing in the markets of the larger cities. In conditions of this kind, growers can provide themselves with canning outfits, suited in capacity to their needs, put up a clean, reliable grade of goods, market them as judiciously as they do their green stuff, and turn to profit that which otherwise might have been a complete loss. There seems to be a belief by the general public that there is something mysterious in the commercial canning process. The great secret of this process is a careful observance of two things — Clean- liness and Complete Sterilization. It is possible for every housewife to run a small canning factory in her own kitchen, and on the farm this is both economical and desirable. Fruits and vegetables can be "put up" in glass jars or tin cans at home much cheaper than they can be purchased in the form of commercially canned goods, and the The Bulletin. 5 flavor, texture and general quality of the home-made product can be made suj^erior to the product of the average factory. STERILIZATION. Minute forms of life, Avhich Ave call bacteria, are present every- where in untold numbers. The air we breathe, the water we^ drink, and the food Ave eat are teeming Avith them. These bacteria are practically the sole cause of the ''spoiling" or fermenting of the various fruits and vegetables. The reproduction of bacteria, which is A^ery rapid, is brought about by one of tAvo processes. The bac- terium either divides itself into tAA'o parts, making two bacteria AA-here one existed before, or else reproduces itself by means of spores. Spores may be compared Avith the seed of an ordinary plant. These spores present the chief difficulty in canning the products of the orchard and garden. All forms of bacteria are killed by complete sterilization. This is nothing more than enclosing the products to be sterilized in jars or cans that can be sealed air-tight and submitting them to heat of sufficient temperature for a time, long enough to destroy the bacteria that cause the raw material to spoil. Sterilization is readily ac- complished by the use of boiling water. There are three different ways by Avhich this can be~ done. While the parent bacteria can be killed at the temperature of boiling Avater, their spores retain their vitality for a long time even at that temperature. In large com- mercial factories, sterilization is accomplished by subjecting the cans containing the various products to steam under pressure. By this process the temperature is raised to a degree higher than that of boiling Avater, thereby killing both bacteria and spores at the same time. Smaller factories and the different home-canning outfits usually make use of the ''open-kettle" process. Here the cans are submerged in boiling Avater and kept at that temperature for a time sufficient to destroy bacteria and spores. The third process, known as fractional sterilization, is that of keeping cans or jars in boiling water for a specified time upon each of tAvo or three consecutive days. The process of boiling upon consecutive days is the safest method and is much to be preferred in home canning. The first day's boiling kills practically all the bacteria, but does not kill the spores. As soon as the jars or cans cool, these spores develop and a new lot of bacteria begin their destructiA'e work on the contents. The second day's boiling kills this ncAV lot of bacteria before they have had time to produce spores. Boiling the third day is not ahvays neces- sary, but it is advisable in order to be sure that the sterilization is complete. 6 The Ijillktix. SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES. The quality of any canned product is largely dependent upon its condition when first packed. As a rule, large canning establishments are clean and have the most convenient appliances with which to do the work. This is one of the main reasons for the ready sale of their goods. The products to be canned, the various utensils used, the cans or jars and the entire surroundings cannot he too clean. Cleanli- ness is half the secret of making the canning business a success. Fig. 1. Clean surroundings in tlie preparation of vegetables. In selecting fruit, use only those specimens that are well grown, ripe, but firm. Do not use overripe specimens, as they are usually too soft and mellow to can nicely. When choosing vegetables, select those that are young and have made a rapid growth. As a rule, young, quick-growing vegetables are superior in flavor and texture to the slow growing and more mature ones. Fruits and vegetables are in better condition if gathered in the early morning while the dew is still on them. If it is not convenient to attend to the canning just at this time, put the fruit or vegetables in some cool pla)Ce where they will not wither, but will keep fresh and crisp until ready for use. It is not advisable, however, to delay the canning too long, as both fruit and vegetables lose some of their best qualities when kept for a length of time. Fruits and vegetables to be canned are prepared in exactly the same way as they would be previous to cooking or serving for The Bulletin. immediate use. All bruised and rotten places should be cut out and all stems, leaves and other kinds of trash removed. See that every- thing is clean and washed thoroughly in Fresh water before being placed in the jars or cans. These should also have been well washed and made perfectly clean. Do not attempt to can decayed or dirty fruits and vegetables. Have everything Clean and Fresh. TIN CANS. Fruits and vegetables can be packed and cooked in glass jars as easily as in tin cans, but the latter are to be preferred when the canning is done for commercial purposes. Goods packed in tin can be placed on the market much more easily and at less expense than if put in glass. Some commercial packers find it more profita- ble to market the extra fancy grades of certain fruits and vegetables in glass. Choice varieties of figs, cherries, asparagus and mush- rooms are marketed in this way; but for all general purposes tin cans are the most satisfactory. In buying cans do not allow a slight difference in the price to cause the use of anything but the best. Standard packers' cans are used generally, but extra-coated tin, inside-lacquered, acid-proof cans are still better. These cost a little more than the cheaper grades, but give better results. There is also a lacquer now made to use on the outside of the can to prevent rust. This adds greatly to the keeping and_ selling qualities of the goods. People do not like to buy goods in dirty or rusty cans, even though the contents may be of excellent quality. GLASS JARS. For strictly home purposes, glass jars are more satisfactory and are decidedly more economical than tin cans, although both may be used. The initial expense of glass is greater than that of tin, but with reasonable care, glass will last an indefinite length of time. Glass jars can be used over and over again with perfect safety, •^,^l^^^~j-0^ 4 5 6 7 Fig. 2. Different types of jars. but tin should never be used the second time. Tin is more or less soluble in fruit and vegetable juices. While the amount of tin dissolved under ordinary conditions is too small to be at all in- jurious, still it has been enough to make the can unfit for use the second time. 8 The Bulletix. There are numerous kinds of glass jars on the market, many of them having certain distinct points of advantage. See Fig. 2. The jar most commonly used is the ordinary screw-top type. See Fig. 2, !N"os. 4 and T. Although they are cheap in price, it is hard to do successful canning in them on account of the difficulty in sealing them air-tight during the processing or cooking. The tops are usually metal with a porcelain lining that sooner or later may become loosened and come out, thereby making the top unsatisfactory for use. Jars of this type can best be used for rich preserves, jams and jellies where complete sterilization is not of so much importance as it is with canned fruits or vegetables. Fig. 2. Xos. 3 and 5, show two jars with improved screw-tops. These jars have a glass or porcelain top which is held in place by a metal band that screws down over the neck of the jar. This is a decided improvement on the old-style screw-top. A-V i- ^.ft' Fig. y. Most satisfactory types of jars for general use. The most satisfactory types of jars for general use are those shown in Fig. 3. This shows the original '•'Lightning Patent" small- mouth jar with glass top held in place by a wire spring; the "Safety- valve"' type jar with similar top held in place by a lacquered metal band fitted with a spring and lever; and the improved wide-mouth "Lightning Patent" type jar with glass top held in place by a simple wire spring. The "Safety-valve" type jars are used by some com- mercial packers in canning the extra-fancy grades of fruit and vege- tables. The wide mouth of the improved jar is a decided advan- tage when canning whole fruits or vegetables. Although jars of the types illustrated are a little more expensive, much more satisfactory and successful work can be done with them than with those having screw-tops. When buying jars, get as good a grade as can be af- forded. The best quality usually retails at from $1 to $1.25 per dozen. The first expense may be somewhat high, but with reasona- ble care good jars should last many years. I'lIK BULLKTI.N. 9 RUBBERS. The varioiKs types of jars are fitted with rulDber rings on wliich the tops rest when in place. Eings are used to aid in sealing the jars and keeping them air-tight. x\fter the contents of a jar have been sterilized, it is very necessary that the jar be kept air-tight in order that whatever is enclosed may remain sterile and free from the action of bacteria. Do not use rubbers the second time. The first season's cooking usually destroys the life or elasticity of the rubber. For this reason it is important that good fresh rubbers be used, as those used one season cannot be depended upon to make air- tight seals the second time. In buying rubbers, as in buying jars, get a good grade. COMMERCIAL CANNING OUTFITS. There are a 'number of outfits manufactured in different parts of the country with which excellent work can be done both for com- Fk;. 4. Commercial canning outfit. mercial purposes and for home use. These outfits range in size from those having a four 3-lb. can capacity to those having a 10 The Bulletin. capacity of one hundred and thirty-two 3-lb. cans. The price varies accordingly from $5 to $100. Small outfits are intended for use on an ordinary cookstove or range, and are suitable for using either glass jars or tin cans. Medium-size outfits, both for commercial and home purposes, can be used either on a cookstove or on a simple furnace of bricks or stone. The larger outfits are principally in- tended for canning on a commercial scale, and are usually equipped with either portable furnaces or fire-boxes especially suited to the different ways of applying heat. Manufacturers furnish catalogues having full descriptions and price-lists of their various outfits, cans and other equipment. They also send, with each outfit, a book of instructions, giving complete directions for preparing, packing and cooking the different fruits and vegetables. The following firms manufacture and sell canning outfits and supplies : The Raney Canner Co Chapel Hill, N. C. Modern Canner Co Chattanooga, Tenn. Tharp Hardware and Mfg. Co Elkin, K. C. F. S.

When canning fruits and vegetables simply for home use, it i& not necessary to purchase an expensive or specially made vessel in which to do the cooking, although manufacturers of the various ''Home-canning Outfits" have gotten out some very satisfactory utensils in which this work can be done. Any flat-bottom vessel, such as a wash boiler, ham boiler, preserving kettle ar bucket, that is deep enough to permit of being covered after the jars or cans are placed inside, will serve the purpose. With whatever sort of vessel used, it is necessary to have what is known as a false bottom on which to set the jars or cans while cooking. Wire netting made of medium-size galvanized wire or narrow strips of wood, may be used for this purpose. If glass jars are set flat on the bottom of the vessel in which they are to be cooked they are apt to break during the heat- ing. The vessel should also be equipped with a tight cover, prefer- The Bulletin; 11 ably tin, to be kept in place while the cooking is being done. This cover retains a large part of the steam to aid in the cooking process. Fig. 5 shows a home-made outfit that can be used in this operation. Fig. 5. Home-mado canning outfit. Fig. 6. Jar as placed in cooking vessel before being sealed tight. 12 The BuLLETiis". COOKING IN GLASS JARS. After fruits or vegetables are prepared for canning, pack them firmly in the jars to within about half an inch of the top and fill entirely full with fresh, clean, cold water. iS^ew rubbers are then put in place and the tops put on, but not sealed tight. (See Fig. 6. ) The jars are then placed upon the strips of wood or other support Fig. Jars in vessel placed ou stove ready for cooking. on the bottom of the cooking vessel. This vessel is then filled with cold water to a depth that will bring it up two or three inches on the outside of the jars. The vessel is then placed on the stove ready for cooking to begin. (See Fig. 7.) It is difficult to give absolute rules as to the exact time of boil- ing for each fruit and vegetable, from the fact that so much de- pends upon the ripeness and the variety. As a general rule, when canning fruits, let the water start to boil and continue boiling for ten minutes. At the end of this time seal the jar tight by screwing down the top or pushing down the spring, as shown in Fig. '8, and continue boiling for twenty minutes. In canning vegetables, let them boil fifteen minutes before sealing tight, and after that continue boiling forty-five minutes. With mixed vegetables, as corn and The Buj;.letin. 13 beans, let them boil fifteen or twenty minutes before sealing tight, and after that continue boiling seventy-five minutes. After the jars have been boiled the required time, remove them from the vessel, and set aside in some place vi^here they will not be exposed to a drauaht A draught of cold air coming in contact with Fig. 8. Jar sealed tight. the hot glass might cause some of the jars to break. Allow the jars to stand for twenty-four hours. At the end of that time again place them in the cooking vessel as on the first day. Fill the vessel with cold water, as directed on the preceding day, and boil fruit thirty '^^^^ Fig. 9. Home-canned fruits and vegetables in different types of jars. minutes, vegetables one hour, and mixed vegetables one hour and thirty minutes. After cooking the required time this second day, again remove jars as previously directed, and after standing an- other twenty-four hours again proceed to cook on the third day ex- 14 The BxJlletin. actly as directed for the second day. After jars have cooled from this third cooking they may be put in any convenient place and kept until wanted for use. Some products may retain their color better if kept in some darkened place out of the direct light. If no- convenient place of this kind is handy, wrap the jars in dark paper. Always keep canned goods in a dry place. One point to be remem- bered in this method is that after the jars have once been sealed tight do not again loosen the top or unseal until the contents are to be used. COOKING IN TIN CANS. The same method employed in cooking in glass jars may be used with tin cans. Fruits and vegetables are firmly packed and the cans filled with clean cold water to within about a quarter of an inch of the top. The top or cap is then put on and held in position with a sharp stick or rod placed in the vent hole in the center of the cap. With a small brush or mop, moisten around the groove with solder- ing fluid. After placing a piece of solder in the groove, take the hot copper iron, wipe it on a damp cloth and place on the piece of solder, melting it. Run the copper smoothly around the groove. The solder will follow. See that the sealing has been smooth and com- plete, then proceed to cook as directed for glass jars. At the end of the first ten, fifteen, or twenty minutes boiling, as directed for the different fruits and vegetables on the first day, remove the cans and close the vents or holes in the center of the caps in the same way as the caps were soldered in place. Then place the cans back in the boiling water and proceed to cook as directed for glass jars. ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVES. Artificial preservatives in the form of "Acids," ''Preserving Powders," and "Formulas" of various kinds are used in some locali- ties in the preservation of foods. They are recommended by ad- vertisements and agents as being perfectly harmless and are guaran- teed to keep fruits and vegetables indefinitely. The object in using preservatives of any kind is to kill bacteria, thereby preventing fermentation and decay. Bacteria are minute forms of life of very delicate structure, and if these different preservatives act on the structure of bacteria in such a way as to kill them, what might be the effect of these same preservatives when brought in contact with the delicate structure inside the human body? Do not use artificial preservatives of any kind. The cheapest, surest and only absolutely safe way is to sterilize by means of heat applied in the form of cooking. The Bulletin. 15 OPENING JARS. Jars of fruit and vegetables are sometimes hard to open. Kun a thin knife-blade under the rubber, next to the jar, and press against it firmly. This will usually let in enough air to loosen the top. If it does not, place the jar in a deep pan or kettle of cold water, heat to boiling point, and continue boiling for a few minutes. The jar will then open easily. DIRECTIONS FOR COOKING IN GLASS JARS. The following directions for canning apply only to pint-size jars. If quart jars are used, increase the time of boiling, making it one and one-half times that given for pints. APPLES. Acid varieties are best for canning. Select firm, well-ripened fruit. Peel and quarter, being careful to cut out all the core and all bruised or decayed specks. Pack firmly in jars and fill entirely full with fresh water. Use new rubbers, put tops on and place jars in cooking vessel. Fill vessel with cold water to a depth that will bring water up about an inch or two on the outside of the jars. Put on cover, place on stove and bring to boiling point. Boil ten minutes, seal tight and continue boiling fifteen minutes. At the end of this time remove jars and let stand twenty-four hours. On second day, place in vessel as on first day and boil twenty-five minutes. Re- move, let stand twenty-four hours, and cook on third day as directed for second day. BLACKBERKIES. Fruit should be ripe, but firm. Carefully remove all stems, leaves, trash, soft and imperfect berries. See that all fruit is clean. Pack firmly without mashing. Fill jars almost full and add four level tablespoons (about two ounces) of granulated sugar, then fill jars entirely full with fresh water. Use new rubbers, put tops on and place jars in cooking vessel. Fill vessel with cold water to a depth that will bring water up an inch or two on outside of jars. Put on cover, place on stove and bring to boiling point. Boil five minutes, seal tight and continue boiling five minutes. Remove and let stand twenty-four hours. On second day place in vessel as on first day and boil ten minutes. Remove, let stand twenty-four hours, and on third day cook as directed for second day. CHEERIES. Fruit may be canned whole or seeded. Select sound, ripe fruit, remove all stems and trash. Pack firmly. Fill jars almost full and 16 The Bulletin. add four level tablespoons (about two ounces) of granulated sugar, then fill jars entirely full with fresh, cold water. Use new rubbers, put tops in position and place jars in cooking vessel. Fill vessel with cold water to a depth that will bring the water up two or three inches on the outside of jars, cover, place on stove and bring to boiling point. Boil ten minutes, seal tight and continue boiling ten minutes. Remove jars and let stand twenty-four hours. On second day, place in vessel as on first dav and boil twentv minutes. Remove, let stand twenty-four hours, and on third day cook as directed for second day. FIGS. Select firm, well ripened, freshly gathered fruit. Weigh, put in clean sack or wire basket, and boil five minutes. Drain fruit out and put in pans or granite kettles, a layer of figs and a layer of granulated sugar, using about one-half their weight of sugar. Let them stay in the sugar about seven hours or overnight, then heat. When all sugar is dissolved, pack fruit firmly in jars, using syrup to fill jars entirely full. Put on new rubbers, set tops in position, and place jars in cooking vessel. Fill vessel with water of about the same temperature as the jars, to a depth that will bring the water up two or three inches on the outside of the jars and bring to the boiling point. Boil ten minutes, seal tight and continue boiling ten minutes. Remove jars and let stand twenty-four hours. On second day, place in vessel as on first day and boil twenty minutes. Remove, let stand twenty-four hours, and on third day cook as directed for second day. GRAPES. Use firm, ripe fruit. Pick from stem, remove all trash, imperfect and soft fruit, and pack firmly. Fill jars full of fruit and add enough water to entirely fill jars. Use new rubbers, put tops on and place jars in cooking vessel. Fill vessel with cold water to a depth that will bring the water up two or three inches on the out- side of jars, cover, place on stove and bring to boiling point. Boil ten minutes, seal tight and continue boiling ten minutes. Remove jars and let stand twenty-four hours. On second day, place in vessel as on first dav, and boil twentv minutes. Remove, let stand twenty-four hours, and on third dav cook as directed for second dav. HUCKLEBERRIES. Wash fruit in cold water. Pick out all stems, trash, small, im- perfect and soft berries.

Remove, let stand twenty-four hours, and on third day cook as directed for second day. If medium syrup be preferred, use six level table- spoons (about three ounces) of granulated sugar, and cook as directed. Small peaches and pieces not put in the jars of fancy fruit may be canned in light syrup and used for making pies. The fruit is prepared and cooked as directed, using four level tablespoons (about two ounces) of granulated sugar. PEAKS. Fruit should be ripe, but not soft. Peel, cut in halves or quarter, cut out all core, bruised and decayed specks. Pack firmly. Fill jars almost full, add six level tablespoons (about three ounces) of granulated sugar, and fill entirely full with fresh, cold water.

Boil five minutes, seal tight and continue boiling five minutes. Remove jars, and let them stand twenty-four hours. On second day, place jars in vessel as directed on first day, and boil ten minutes. Remove jars, let stand twenty-four hours, and on third day cook as directed for second day. VEGETABLES. ASPARAGUS. Cut as when preparing for market, having stalks of the proper length to fill the jars. Wash in fresh, cold water and pack firnaly. Arrange stalks as uniformly as possible, having the tip-end up. After jar is filled in this way, take three or four stalks and force in center of jar, tip-end down. This helps to make the pack more firm. Put in one-fourth of a level teaspoonful of salt and fill jars en- tirely full with fresh, cold water. Put on new rubbers, set tops in position and place in cooking vessel. Fill vessel with cold water to a depth that will bring the water up an inch or two on the outside of jars, cover, put on stove and heat to boiling point. Boil fifteen minutes, seal tight and continue boiling forty-five minutes. At the end of this time, remove jars and set them aside for twenty-four hours. On second day, place jars in vessel as directed on first day, and boil one hour. Again remove jars and let stand twenty-four hours, and on the third day cook as directed for second day. BEETS. Young, tender, blood-red varieties are best. Boil in an open ves- sel until peeling comes off easily. Peel, slice, quarter or can whole, as desired. Pack firmly. Fill jars full and add fresh, cold water 20' The Bulletix. # until jars are entirely full. If a mild pickle is desired, take equal parts of water and vinegar, sweeten to taste, and fill jars with this mixture instead of water. Use new rubbers, put tops in position and place jars in cooking vessel. Fill vessel with cold water to a depth that will bring the water up an inch or two on the outside of jars, cover, place on stove and heat to boiling point. Boil ten minutes, seal tight and continue boiling forty minutes. Remove jars, set them aside for twenty-four hours. On second day, place jars in cooking vessel as directed on first day, and boil fifty minutes. Again remove jars, set aside for twenty-four hours, and on third dav cook as directed for second dav. BEANS (lima). Carefully hull by hand, removing all discolored, broken and over- ripe beans. Can as soon as possible after shelling, as Lima beans lose their flavor very quickly after being shelled. Pack firmly. Fill jars to within half an inch of the top, add one-fourth teaspoon- ful of salt and fill entirely full with fresh, cold water. Put on new rubbers, set tops in position, and place in cooking vessel. Fill vessel with cold water to a depth that will bring the water up two or three inches on the outside of jars, cover, place on stove and heat to boiling point. Boil fifteen minutes, seal tight and continue boiling forty- five minutes. Remove jars and set aside for twenty-four hours. On second day, place jars in cooking vessel as directed on first day. and boil one hour. Aaain remove jars and set aside for twentv-four hours, and on the third dav cook as directed for second dav. =? BEANS (STEING, SNAP OR Wx\.x). Select freshly gathered pods about three-quarters grown. Care- fully remove all strings and break or cut in pieces about one inch long. Put in a clean sack or wire basket and boil five minutes. Drain out and. after cooling a little, pack firmly. Fill jars al- most full, add one-fourth level teaspoonf ul of salt and fill entirely full with fresh, cold water. Use new rubbers, put tops in position and place in cooking vessel. Fill this vessel and cook on each of three days exactly as recommended for Lima beans. CORN. Stowell's Evergreen, Country Gentleman, or any of the "sweet" varieties are best for cannina". L^se corn when in the milkv state, before it has started to toughen and lose its sweetness. Corn should be canned as soon as possible after being gathered, for the amount of sugar in the sweet varieties diminishes very rapidly after the ear has been pulled from the stalk. Husk, and clean ofP as much silk as The Bulletin. 21 possible. Cut the grains ojff with a sharp kuife, being careful not to cut too close to the cob. Use the back of the knife to scrape the cob. Pack firmly. Fill jars to within half an inch of the top, add one-fourth level teaspoonful of salt and fill entirely full with fresh, cold water. Put on new rubbers, set tops in position and place jars in cooking vessel. Fill vessel with cold water to a depth that will bring the water up two or three inches on the outside of jars, cover, place on stove and heat to boiling point. Boil fifteen minutes, seal tight and continue boiling forty-five minutes. At the end of this time remove jars from vessel and set aside for twenty-four hours. On second day, place in vessel as directed on first day, and boil for ■one hour. Again remove jars and set aside for twenty-four hours, and on third day cook as directed for second day. HOMINY. Use hominy made in the ordinary manner. Pack in jars, add salt and cold water, and cook in exactly the same way as for corn. OKRA. Gather young pods, wash in cold water, cut in short pieces and put in clean sack or wire basket, and boil for five minutes. Drain out and, after cooling a little, pack firmly in jars. Fill jars almost full, add one-fourth level teaspoonful of salt and fill entirely full with fresh, cold water. Use new rubbers, put tops in position and place jars in cooking vessel. Fill vessel with cold water to a depth that will bring the water up about two or three inches on the outside of jars, cover, place on stove and heat to boiling point.

On second day, place jars in vessel as directed on first day, and boil one hour. Remove jars, set aside for twenty-four hours, and cook on third day as directed for second day. PEAS. Select young, tender, well-grown peas. Shell from pods and, if canning for market, screen or sort into different sizes before pack- ing. For home use this is not necessary. Put hulled peas in a clean sack or wire basket, and place in boiling water for five minutes. This shrinks the peas and turns the old and tough ones yellow, thereby making them easy to pick out. Pack firmly. Fill jars to within half or three-quarters of an inch of the top, add one-fourth tea- spoonful of salt and fill jars entirely full with slightly warm, fresh water.

Sir: — I submit in manuscript a report covering Fertilizer and Variety Experiments with Cowpeas on the Iredell Test Farm for the years 1903-'8 inclusive, together with a discussion of the re- sults and their application to our farming conditions. B. W. Kil- gore and C. B. Williams are responsible for the plans and conduct of the work 1903-'7 ; B. W. Kilgore and G. M. MacMder 1907-'8 ; F. T. Meacham had charge of the culture and handling of the crop ; and W. C. Etheridge, E. L. Worthen and G. B. Walker did the main work in putting the results in tabular form. B. W. Kilgore is responsible for the form of the report, the conclusions, and the writing of it. Similar reports with cotton and corn on the Iredell Farm and corn and cotton on the Edgecombe Farm will follow, the results already being in form for writing the report and drawing the conclusions. The results presented in this report show, in a most striking way, the fertilizer requirements of the cowpea crop on certain soils, to- gether with the varieties which can be grown at greatest profit for different purposes. The application of the fertilizer results, espe- cially, will mean a large saving in the fertilizer bills of farmers growing this crop in the piedmont and mountain sections of the State. I recommend the publication of this report as the June Bulletin. Respectfully, B. W. Kilgore, Director of Test Farms. To Hon. W. A. Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture. THE CULTURE OF THE COWPEA. Being a Report of Work with the Cowpea on the Iredell Test Farm in lfK)3-'8, Inclusive, and Including I. FERTILIZER TESTS; 11. VARIETY TESTS; ill. CULTURE, FERTILIZATION AND USES. By B. W. Kilgohe, C. B. Williams, G. M. MacNider and F. T. Meacham. SUMMARY. 1. The right fertilization of the cowpea pays handsomely. What this should be, together with the varieties which give best results for different purposes, is set forth in the following summary and pages. V 2. The same fertilizers did not increase the yield of peas in the same proportions they did hay. The profits were therefore not as great from fertilizing peas for pea yields as for hay. It is to be remembered, however, that where there was an increased yield and profit from the use of fertilizers, the peas only were removed and the increased yield of hay was left on the land to increase its fertility. Taking these two factors into consideration — the yield of peas and improvement of soil from the extra growth of vines and stubble left on the land — the increase in yield and profits were the same. 3. For the production of hay, nitrogen alone, potash alone, and nitrogen and potash combined, produced small increases in the yields of hay over the plats receiving no fertilizer. For the production of peas these two constituents used alone and in combination with each other were at a loss. On the whole, it may be, therefore, said that nitrogen alone and potash alone and nitrogen and potash combined with each other have little or no value in the growth of peas on this land. 4. For the production of hay, phosphoric acid alone produced decidedly increased yields at good profits. Nitrogen combined with phosphoric acid did not increase the yields over phosphoric acid 6 The Bulletin. alone. Potash added to phosphoric acid gave small increases over phosphoric acid alone, while nitrogen and potash combined with phosphoric acid gave increases over phosphoric acid alone, but with- out profit. For the production of peas, phosphoric acid alone pro- duced increased yields ; nitrogen combined with phosphoric acid added slightly to the increase of phosphoric acid alone, as did potash also. Potash and nitrogen combined with phosphoric acid did not produce larger yields than nitrogen and phosphoric acid alone, showing that potash had but little effect in increasing the yield of peas. The experiments show that phosphoric acid is the most important constituent for use on this soil in increasing the yield and adding to the profit in growing cowpeas. 5. The amount of nitrogen in the normal fertilizer (300 pounds per acre) used in the pea experiment was 1 per cent. Varying this amount from ^ per cent to 3 per cent did not, on the whole, taking the yield of peas and hay together, show any decided advantage for large amounts of nitrogen. 6. The amount of potash in the normal fertilizer (300 pounds per acre) application was 4 per cent. Increasing the amount of potash up to 9 per cent in the mixture gave, as a whole, a decrease in yields and profits. This further emphasizes the fact that this soil not only does not need potash in the growth of peas, but if added in large quantities it will be at a loss. 7. The amount of phosphoric acid in the normal fertilizer (300 pounds per acre) application was 8 per cent. Reducing this quan- tity by one-half and increasing it by two and thrfee times the normal quantity, showed decided increases in the yields of both peas and hay for the larger quantities, emphasizing, in the most emphatic way, the need of this soil for phosphoric acid for the production of cowpeas. The most profitable yields on any of the plats were ob- tained from those receiving large amounts of phosphoric acid. The amounts of phosphoric acid in the mixtures which gave the largest profits varied between 342 and 514 pounds of 14 per cent acid phosphate. 8. Taken as a whole, the tests with lime did not show that this soil needs this constituent especially in the growth of peas. The Bulletin. 7 9. Increasing the amount of the normal fertilizer application increased the yields and the profits, the best yields, on the whole, coming from the applications of 300 to GOO pounds. 10. Taking all the experiments into consideration, they show that this soil does not need potash for the most profitable production of peas and that large amounts decrease the yields. 11. Nitrogen has added but slightly to the yields, and there is no advantage in using it on this soil, when in fair to good condition. 12. Phosphoric acid is the most needed constituent on this soil. The analysis of the soil shows that it is very low in phosphoric acid. Field tests and chemical analysis of the soil are therefore in entire harmony in showing the need of this soil for growing peas. 13. The most profitable yields have been obtained from the use of 300 to 500 pounds of 14 per cent acid phosphate per acre, or 42 pounds to 70 pounds phosphoric acid. 14. In growing peas on the above land we advise the use of phosphoric acid alone, as stated above, 300 pounds acid phosphate being a good application and 500 pounds not too much. 'No potash- supplying material need be employed. In case the land is very poor, so that the peas do not start well at first, an amount of cotton- seed meal, dried blood, or other nitrogen-furnishing material may be added which will supply sufficient nitrogen to make 1 per cent nitrogen in the fertilizer mixture. Where 300 pounds and 500 pounds of 14 per cent acid phosphate respectively are used, 25 pounds and 42 pounds of blood will supply the necessary nitrogen. If it is discovered after the peas are planted and up that there is a need of nitrogen, as indicated by small, slow growth and pale^ sickly appearance, a top dressing of 50 to 75 pounds of nitrate soda can be applied with profit. 15. Our soil analyses of the various type soils of the State and experiments on the Buncombe Test Farm indicate that these re- sults will apply to the red (cecil) clay loams, red (cecil) clays and valley soils of the piedmont and valley and main upland soils of the mountain sections of the State. These soils constitute the main farming soils of the piedmont and mountain districts, and an ap- plication of the results will mean no small saving in the fertilizer bills of the farmers operating on these soils. 8 The BulletinI 16. Thirty-one varieties of peas, embracing the main ones grown in this and adjoining States, as well as many of the less important ones, have been tested on the Iredell Farm during six years. The results obtained and observations reported include yields of peas, hay, time to mature peas and hay, and character of growth of plant. For the varieties grown four years or more the following average data were obtained: 17. The average yield of peas varied from G.Q bushels to 13.5 bushels per acre, the rank in order of productiveness being as follows : Whittle, Small Black, New Era, Whippoorwill, Sixty-day, Red Crowder, Southdown, Iron, Large Black Eye, Powell's Early Prolific, Small Black Eye, Small Lady, Red Ripper, Yellow Sugar Crowder. The number of seed per pound varied from 1,814 with the Large Black Eye to 3,856 with the Iron. This is a measure of the size of the peas and is a factor which is of interest in determining the quantity of peas to be planted per acre. 18. The yield of hay varied from 2,400 to 3,872 pounds for the varieties tested four years and over, the rank in order of pro- ductiveness being as follows: ' Iron, Clay, Brown Coffee, Whippoorwill, Red Crowder, Red Ripper, Yellow Sugar Crowder, Small Black, Whittle, Southdown, The Bulletin. 9 New Era, Small Ladj, Powell's Early Prolific, Small Black Eye, Large Black Eye. To this should be added that the largest yield of hay from any of the varieties was from the Unknown, the average for three years being 5,200 pounds, or 2.6 tons. 19. For both peas and hay, the following are shown to be excellent kinds : Whippoorwill, Ked Crowder, Iron, New Era. 20. For soil improvement the varieties which produce the largest yields of hay and peas combined are best and the following varieties are specially desirable for this purpose : Unknown, Iron, Clay, Brown Coffee, Whippoorwill, Red Crowder, New Era. 21. The cowpea will thrive under unfavorable conditions of soil preparation. It is, however, a plant that responds most readily and profitably to thoroughly deep breaking and pulverization of the land. This permits deep and large root development and allows good circulation of the air, which together enable the plant to obtain the maximum of nitrogen from the air for its growth and for storing in the soil for improvement and the use of future crops. 22. When sown broadcast or drilled with grain drill, one bushel of peas makes a good seeding. Our experiments show that when planted in Si^-foot rows, one half -bushel produces practically as large yields as 11/^ bushels per acre. When planted in rows it pays to cultivate two to three times. 23. Cowpea-vine hay has a feeding value practically equal to that of wheat bran, which is worth now more than $30 per ton. Animals do not eat up the hay as clean as the wheat bran, there 10 The Bulletin. being some waste. If the hay was ground, as it is entirely possible to do, as alfalfa now is on a large scale, the ground pea-vine hay should sell as readily as wheat bran, as it has as large value for feed as wheat bran. 24. A ton of pea-vine hay removes from the soil in round num- bers 47 pounds nitrogen, 10 pounds phosphoric acid, and 29 pounds potash, worth at present prices for fertilizer constituents $10.56. The yield of pea-vine hay on fair to good land is from one to three tons per acre, according to season and variety of peas planted. This shows its high value for soil improvement. It is possible to get the feeding value and in returning the manure to the soil to save a large part of the fertilizing value, provided the manure is well handled. 25. Around 85 per cent of the fertilizing and soil improving value of the cowpea crop is contained in the hay and 15 per cent in roots and stubble. Where the improvement of the land is the sole or main object the entire crop should be left on the land, as other- wise the soil might be reduced in productiveness if good and judicious fertilization is not followed. 26. On heavy land small crops of peas may be turned under green and improve the physical condition of the soil, in addition to adding the fertilizer constituents contained in the crop. On light soils it is likely best to allow the vines to die and partially decay on the soil and turn under during the winter or early spring. This is good practice on all kinds of land and especially with large crops. Any loss from remaining on the land during the fall and winter will likely be overcome by the prevention of washing. Where it is desired to use the land in the fall for small grain the peas may be cut up with a disk harrow or other implement and allowed to wilt and dry on the soil and then be turned under. If this can be done some time in advance of planting, so as to allow the rains to settle the soil or else do so by harrowing and rolling, good results will follow. I. FERTILIZER TESTS OF COWPEAS. The cowpea is the most important Southern soil-improving crop. Its value for soil improvement, for hay and for other purposes has long been understood and appreciated by farmers throughout the South. The suitability and adaptability of the different varieties, of which there are a large number, to the different sections of the country, are not well known, and results upon which to base in- telligent ideas of fertilization which will give best results with the crop on different soils are quite limited, and in most cases entirely lacking. Our Test Farms were established in different sections of the State and on different type soils for the purpose of obtaining information of this kind. The following extract from our first report in 1900 on Test Farm work is of interest in this connection : "There is justly much doubt in the minds of farmers as to whether or not they are using the fertilizer and the quantity of that fertilizer best suited to give them the most profitable results. There are quite a number of types of soil in the State, each one of which represents a considerable area. These different kinds of soil likely differ in their fertilizer requirements. The vari- ous classes of plants grown on them certainly do. The only thoroughly practi- cal way of determining the proportions of nitrogen (or ammonia), phosphoric acid and potash, that are best suited to the different crops and soils, as well as the most profitable amounts of these valuable fertilizer constituents to use, is to actually grow the crops on the particular soil in question, and apply varying quantities of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in the materials which supply them. By doing this, and giving the areas with different amounts of fertilizers the same treatment during the growing season, and submitting the yields to the careful test of the balance, nature gives the answer desired. This is the practical as well as the scientific way of dealing with this and like subjects — going direct to the soils and plants, and making kno^;\Ti our wants in such a way as to induce them to give the most intelli- gent answers as to what they need to do the best service for man. "To be of value, work of this kind must be carefully done, and this requires skill and experience with soils, plants and fertilizers, and, in addition, costs some money. But the farmer's outlay for fertilizers, as well as his need and desire to use them in the best and most economical way, not only justifies, but calls for the conduct of this kind of woi'k." WORK REPORTED. On the following pages are recorded the results of five years' fertilizer experiments with cowpeas and six years of tests of our main varieties, on the Iredell Test Farm of this Department, ex- tending through the years 1903-1908, both inclusive. The work is being continued to collect further data along these lines, as well as to obtain information as to the value of the crop in rotation with other crops, for soil improvement and for other purposes. Considerable data, of a more or less technical nature, is not pub- lished here, but is reserved for future use. This relates especially to the composition of the different varieties, the relative proportion of the different parts, as peas, stalks, leaves and stubble, and bears especially on the comparative values of the different varieties for soil improvement. 12 The Bulletin. < o o The Bulletin. 1 o LOCATION OF FARM AND CHARACTER OF SOIL. The Iredell Test Farm is located near Statesville, in Iredell County, well up in the Piedmont (foothill) section of the State, the elevation being 950 feet above sea-level. The main type of soil on the farm is red (cecil) clay loam, the subsoil being a moderately heavy clay, but the surface soil has sufficient sand in it to make it a clay loam rather than a clay, though when freshly plowed it would to a casual observer be looked upon as red clay. The main types of soil in the piedmont are cecil sandy loam (gray land), red clay (cecil) loam, red (cecil) clay, the latter two being the predominating types. The clay and clay loam types are rich in potash, the clay containing more potash than the loam, very poor in phosphoric acid, the amount of nitrogen depending on the organic matter in the soil. Samples of soil from the unfertilized plats, on which the experiments were conducted, contain the following amounts of plant food : Nitrogen (N) 075 per cent. Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) 041 per cent. Potash (K2O) 553 per cent. Lime (CaO) 396 per cent. THE PLATS. The plats on which these experiments were conducted were em- braced in Fields A and C. Field A had been long in cultivation and was badly run down when work was started in 1903. The plats were laid off in two series parallel to each other, there being twenty plats to the series, with a driveway and turn-row between plats. The plats are one-tenth acre in size, or 217.8 feet by 20 feet, with space between plats sufficient for two rows of peas or other crops, the row on either side of each plat being fertilized like the plat which it adjoins. These plats were used for fertilizer experiments with cotton in 1903, 1904, 1906, and for fertilizer experiments with corn in 1905, and 1907; for general crop of oats without fertilizer in the fall and spring of 1908, and for fertilizer experiments with peas, the results of which are here reported, in 1908. In the case of each of the three crops the same plan or system of fertilization was followed. By this is meant that Plat One in all cases received only nitrogen ; Plat Two, phosphoric acid ; Plat Three, potash, and so on, though the quantities actually applied varied with the three crops. The fertilization of the cotton plats was based on a normal application of 400 pounds per acre of a mixture containing 7 per cent available phosphoric acid, 21/^ per cent each of nitrogen and potash. The fertilization for corn was based on 300 pounds per acre of a mixture containing 7 per cent phosphoric acid, 3 per cent nitrogen, and 1^/2 P^^^ cent potash. 14 The Bulletin. The plats embraced in Field C were part of an old field covered with hroomsedge, small briars, and small pines in 1903. The pines were grubbed out and the other growth turned under with a two- horse plow in the spring of 1903 and cultivated in corn that year, with a fertilizer application of 300 pounds per acre of the com- position referred to above for corn. In the fall of 1903 crimson clover was sown, but no stand was obtained. The land was prepared in the spring of 1904 and laid off in plats of one-twentieth acre each, the size being 108.9 feet by 20 feet, with space between the plats for two rows of peas, the row nearest the plats being fertilized in each case like the plats they adjoined. There is a four-foot space at the end of the plats, which was not counted, and a turn-row between the series, there being two series with sixteen plats in each series. In the case of all the plats on this farm there is a four-foot extra space at the ends of plats. The results were obtained by dividing the plats in half, cutting one-half for hay to obtain the yield of hay, and picking the peas on the other half for yield of peas. The pea yields in all cases are expressed as bushels — dried shelled peas. PREPARATION AND CULTIVATION. The land in all cases was well prepared by breaking with a two- horse turning plow to a depth of eight to ten inches, cut up thor- oughly with disk harrow, double disking when necessary, and then harrowing with iron spike-tooth smoothing harrow. In both fertilizer and variety tests the rows were run off SVs feet apart, and in the case of fertilizer tests the fertilizer materials were weighed out separately for each row, distributed in the drill and mixed with the soil. The peas were drilled at the rate of as nearly 30 pounds per acre as possible, using the pea plate and Hoosier Planter. The ISTew Era variety of peas was used in all the fertilizer tests. The peas were cultivated two to four times each season, depending on the time of planting and the need of cultivation. When planted early more cultivation was required than for late planting, to keep down weeds and grass. The cultivations were with Planet Junior or riding cultivators, going usually once to the row. The time of planting and number of cultivations for each season in the fertilizer experiments were as follows : 1904. — Land was broken in the fall and again in the spring and planted on June 3d. Peas were cultivated four times; June I8th, 25th, July 8th, 22d. 1905. — Land was broken July 2d, planted on the 7th, and culti- vated only once, which was on July 24th. Wet weather prevented further cultivation. The Bulletin. 15 1906. — Land was broken June 11th, planted June 22d, and culti- vated three times — July 11th arid 28th and August 13th. liun. — Land was broken June 22d, planted July 2d, and culti- vated three times— July 23d, August 2d and 13th. In 1905, 1906, 1907 the peas followed wheat; in 1904 there was no preceding spring crop, but corn was on the land in 1903. 1908. — Land was broken July 11th, planted on the 15th, and cultivated three times — July 28th, August 18th, and September 3d. The peas this year followed oats. FERTILIZATION AND FERTILIZER MATERIALS USED. As already stated, fertilizer was applied in the drill just before planting, the exact quantity of material for each row being weighed out separately, so that each row would get its proper amount of the several fertilizer constituents. Acid phosphate was used as the source of phosphoric acid; dried blood as the source of nitrogen; manure salt as the source of potash, and rock or building lime for lime. The fertilizer materials were analyzed each year and the applications made on basis of these analyses, so as to give the exact quantities of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash required for each plat. For the sake of simplicity and convenience in presenting the results of a number of years' experiments, the fertilizer applications are expressed in terms of acid phosphate containing 14 per cent available phosphoric acid, dried blood containing 13 per cent nitro- gen, and manure salt containing 20 per cent potash, which figures represent the average composition of these materials. The fertilizer applications in the fertilizer experiments are on basis of 300 pounds per acre (for the normal plat W P K) of a mixture containing 8 per cent available phosphoric acid, 4 per cent potash, and 1 per cent nitrogen. Lime is applied at the rate of 500 pounds rock or building lime, or 1,000 pounds slaked lime. The fertilizer appli- cations in the table, in addition to being represented in terms of acid phosphate, dried blood, and manure salt, are also expressed in terms of the symbols, N P K and L, which have the following significance : N equals or represents nitrogen at the rate of 3 pounds per acre, or 23 pounds of 13 per cent dried blood ; P represents phosphoric acid at the rate of 24 pounds per acre, or 171.4 pounds of 14 per cent acid phosphate; K represents potash at the rate of 12 pounds potash per acre, or 60 pounds 20 per cent manure salt ; L equals lime at the rate of 500 pounds rock, unslaked lime or 1,000 pounds slaked lime per acre. There are columns in the tables showing the exact weights in pounds of phosphoric acid, potash and nitrogen applied to each 16 The Bulletin. plat (expressed on acre basis), which will enable any one to use these same amounts of fertilizer constituents in other materials if desired. The following average prices which fairly represent the cost of the several materials to the farmer for the period under experimentation have been assumed for the materials used : 14 per cent Acid Phosphate $14.00 per ton. 13 per cent Dried Blood 60.00 per ton. 20 per cent Manure Salt 20.00 per ton. Eock Lime 10.00 per ton. The arrangements of the plats and the scheme of fertilizer appli- cation is shown by the following: Normal Fertilizer Apj)lication, 300 pounds to acre of mixture containing — Phosphoric Acid 8 per cent. Potash 4 per cent. Nitrogen 1 per cent. In this Normal Application — P equals 24 pounds phosphoric acid, equals 171.4 pounds 14 per cent acid phosphate ; K equals 12 pounds potash, equals 60 pounds 20 per cent manure salt; N equals 3 pounds nitrogen, equals 23 pounds 13 per cent dried blood.

WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING 1903-'08, INCLUSIVE. Besides soil, fertilization, cultivation, and time of planting, weather conditions, mainly the rainfall, influence the crop yield. In the table presented herewith will be found the monthly and annual rainfall during the years covered by the experiments, the mean monthly and annual rainfall since 1868 and the same data for the months of June to September, inclusive, and July to August.

In the fertilizer experiments, with the exception of the first year (1904), when the planting was made early in June, the plantings were made from the last of June to the middle of July. This would make July and August the most important growing months for the pea crop in these experiments. The larger yields in 1904 over other 2 18 The Bulletin. years are due, in part, at least, to earlier planting, which gave about one month's longer growing period, and to the favorable rainfall, which was just about normal. In 1905 and 190C the seasons were wet, while in 1907 there was only about one-half the normal rainfall in July and August. This would account for the very low yields in that year. 1908 was an excessively wet year. THE RESULTS. An examination of the yields on the plats in Field C will show that there was a decrease in yields for each of the four years. This is due, in part, to weather conditions and time of planting already referred to. In 1904 the pea crop had the land throughout the entire growing season and without the draft of a previous crop on the available plant food in the soil. After 1904 a grain crop pre- ceded the pea crop, a crop of each being produced each year. It may be possible that the land was tired of peas, or that it was "pea-sick," as is now and then spoken of in connection with other crops. The inference that such was the case would be very strong were it not for the other conditions influencing the yields, which have already been referred to, and which must be considered. The results which will follow in the next few years will be interesting in this connection. That the land is really in better condition for growing other crops is shown by the yields of cotton and corn on these plats, they having been in cotton in 1908 and corn 1909. The results of these two crops on plats having the same fertilization show greater increases over unfertilized plats than were obtained on the plats where corn and cotton have been grown in rotation with each other, and where the type of soil is the same. The experiments were planned to cover the culture and fertiliza- tion of the cowpea as a whole, but the results of the several sub- divisions of phases of the subject are grouped in short tables to facilitate examination and the drawing of conclusions, after which they will be considered as a whole and general conclusions drawn for the fertilization of the crop on this type of soil.

The experiments above were planned to test the effect on yield of nitrogen (N), phosphoric acid (P), and potash (K) when ap- plied singly; when two of the constituents were applied together, as nitrogen and phosphoric acid (N P), nitrogen and potash (N K), and phosphoric acid and potash (P K), and when all three of the fertilizing constituents were applied to make a complete fertilizer {Is P K). The results are shown in yields of hay in pounds or peas in bushels per acre for the several years, average yields, average in- creases over the unfertilized (O) plats, which represent the effect of the fertilizer applications, the value of the increase, the cost of the fertilizer, and the value of the increased yield over cost of fertilizer. EFFECT ON YIELDS OF HAY. Nitrogen, N (plats 1 and 1). From nitrogen alone in Field C there were increased yields of hay in 1904 and 1905 and decreases in 1906 and 1907 over the unfertilized plat (8), the average in- crease being 475 pounds, while in 1908 in Field A the plat (1) receiving nitrogen and the unfertilized plat (4) produced the same yield. Plat 1 had had an application of nitrogen alone in corn and cotton tests during the previous six years and plat 4 had had no fertilizer during the same time. Phosphoric Acid, P (Plats 2 and 2). Phosphoric acid alone produced increased yields in all of the five years on the plats in both fields, the average for the first four years being 720 pounds of hay, and for the fifth year in Field C 1,700 pounds, worth at $15 per ton i-espectively $4.20 and $11.55 over the cost of fertilizer. Potash, K (Plats 3 and 3). From potash alone in Field C the yields increased in 1904, 1905, and 1907, and decreased in 1906, the average annual increase being 340 pounds of hay. In Field A there was no increase due to potash in 1908 and the fertilizer appli- cation was a loss. Nitrogen and Phosphoric Acid, 'N P (Plats 4 and 5). Phosphoric acid and nitrogen combined gave increased yields over the unferti- lized plats in all five years oii the plats in both fields, the annual average for the first four years in Field C being 460 pounds of hay (less than for phosphoric acid alone, which was 720 pounds). For the fifth year (1908) in Field A the increase was 2,200 pounds, or 100 pounds more than the phosphoric acid alone gave. Nitrogen and Potash, jST K (Plats 5 and 6). From the applica- tion of nitrogen and potash combined the yields were increased in three years and gave the same yield in one year in Field C, the aver- age increase for the four years being 292 pounds of hay, the smallest increase from any of the applications in the test. In Field A in 1908 there was a gain of 500 pounds of hay, due to potash and nitrogen. The Bulletin. 21 Phosphoric Acid and Potash, P K (Plats 12^ and 7). Phosphoric acid and potash combined produced increased yields of hay in all five years of the tests on the plats in both fields over the imfertilized plats, the annual average for the first four years in Pield C being 840 pounds per acre (120 pounds more than phosphoric acid alone j, and for the fifth year (1908) in Field A 1,900 pounds (200 pounds more than phosphoric acid alone), valued over the cost of fertilizer respectively at $4.50 and $12.45 per acre. Phosphoric Acid, Potash and Nitrogen, J^ P K (Plats 6 and 8). These three materials combined in a complete fertilizer gave in- creased yields in all of the tests on all the plats, the annual average for the four years in Field C being 962 pounds of bay and for the fifth year in Field A 1,800 pounds. The net value of the increase (value over the cost of fertilizer) was $4.72 in Field C and $11.01 in Field A, or 52 cents more than phosphoric acid in Field C and 54 cents less in Field A. For the production of hay these experiments, as a whole, show that phosphoric acid (acid phosphate) produced the increased yields and that nitrogen and potash had very little effect, and in a number of tests none at all. 22 The Bulletin.

As stated above, the results of the yearly tests have been brought together in a Table giving the summary or averages for the several years. This table includes the same data as the preceding ones, and, in addition, the number of peas to make a pound, which is a measure of the size of the individual peas, the color and shape of the peas, and the habit of gTOwth of the several varieties, whether erect, half trailing or trailing. The rank of the several varieties according to productiveness of peas and hay has been arranged in groups accord- ing to the number of years tested. Those varieties wdiich have been tested four years or more are included in the general averages- and are given rank according to the amoimt of hay and peas each variety has yielded on an -average during the years they have been grown. The other varieties have their averages for the number of years for which they have been grown and are not given rank in comparison with the others ^vhich have been grown for longer periods. In com- paring varieties it is necessary that they should have been gro^^^l the same year and under the same conditions, as different seasons affect the yield very much, especially when planted late and follow grain, as was the case with most of our work. The main uses of the cowpea are for the production of peas, of hay, for grazing and soiling, and for soil improvement. A study of the results in the several yearly tables and in the summary table re- veals among others the following interesting facts : Peas. — The yield of peas in the varieties included in the tests for four or more years range from 13.5 to 6.6 bushels per acre, the varie- ties in the order of productiveness being : Whittle, Small Black, JSTew Era, Whippoorwill, Sixty-day, Red Crowder, Southdown, Iron, Large Black Eye, Powell's Early Prolific, Small Black Eye, Small Lady, Red Ripper, Yellow Sugar Crowder, Mealer's Clay, Michigan Eavorite, Clay, Brown Coffee.

The size of the seed vary from 1,814 to the pound in the case of the Large Black Eve to 3,856 in case of the Iron, there being more than twice as many peas in a ponnd or bushel of Iron than the Large Black Eye. This factor is not usually considered in detenniiiing the number of peas to plant to the acre, but should be, not so many peas of the small and medium sizes being necessary as of the large ones for the same area. Hay. — The yield of hay in pounds per acre of the several varieties included in the test for four years and over vary from 3,872 pounds to 2, -100 pounds, the rank in order of productiveness for hay being as follows: Iron, Clay, Brown Coffee, Whii)pooi'will, Red Crowder, . Red Ripper, Yellow Sugar Crowder, Small Black, Whittle, Southdown. New Era, Small Lady, Powell's Early Prolific, Small Black Eye, Large Black Eye, Mealer's Clay, Sixty-day, ]\richigan Favorite. The Bulletin. 57 58 The Bulletin. It should be said, however, that the largest yield of hay was pro- duced from the Unknown, the average for three years being 5,200 pounds or 2.6 tons per acre, against a yield for the Iron, the highest yielder in the longer test period, of 3,872 pounds, or 1.9 tons hay per acre. In addition to vigorous growth and large yield of hay, the charac- ter or habit of growth of the plant, whether erect, half erect, or trail- ing, and the difficulty or ease with which it sheds its leaves, need to be considered. The trailing varieties are difficult to cut and handle, while the erect and half erect ones can be mowed and the hay saved with much greater ease than the trailing kinds. Some varieties shed their leaves early or they drop with great ease after cutting for hay. The leaves are the richest part of the pea plant for hay and it adds greatly to the value of the hay variety for the leaves to remain long on the plant and to adhere tenaciously after cutting so that as few as possible of them will be lost. These facts are all given in the sum- mary table and show Iron, Clay, and Whippoorwill to be specially valuable hay varieties. Peas and Hay. — For the production of both peas and hay the fol- lowing are among the best varieties, according to our tests : Whippoorwill, Red Crowder, Iron, E"ew Era. Grazing and Soiling. — Where hogs are to be grazed and fattened after the peas are largely mature the heavy pea-yielding varieties are desirable; while for soiling and gTazing with other live stock the heavy hay and pea-yielding varieties are favorites. Soil Improvement. — Now and then you will hear the idea put forward that the main part of the soil-improving and fertilizing value of the cowpea is the roots. Some people used to think that there would be as much improvement of the soil and increase in after crops from removing the hay as there would be if the entire plant were left. This is entirely erroneous. From 80 to 88 per cent of the fertilizing or soil-improving value of the cowpea is contained in the hay and peas which go with it, and 12 to 20 per cent remain in the roots and stubble. Different varieties vary in the proportions of hay and peas and roots and stubble. Our investigations now in progress include a further study of these questions for the purpose of The Bulletin. 59 60 The Bulletix. throwing additional light on this phase of the problem of soil im- provement from growing cowpeas. Since around 85 per cent of the soil-improving part of the cowpea is removed in the hay and peas, the large hay-producing varieties are the best for soil improvement. With this as our criterion, which is the correct one, the following varieties of peas are specially desirable for soil improvement : Unknown, Iron, Clay, Brown Coffee, Whippoorwill, Red Crowder. The Jjillktin. 01 III. CULTURE, FERTILIZATION, AND USES OF THE COWPEA. Preparation and Cultivation.— The cowpea will thrive under very unfavorable conditions of soil and prej^aration, except where the land is wet and cold. Where peas follow grain or other crops it is practically impossible in many cases to break and prepare the land well, on account of season and pressure of other work, and under these conditions they should be put in in the best way possible and will usually pay well for the expenditure, even urider unfavorable conditions. While the above is true, there is no plant that delights more in a thoroughly broken and well-prepared soil or that returns greater profits for the expense and time in putting the soil in good condition before planting. The cowpea and other leguminous plants are of more value for soil improvement than plants not belonging to this class, because they are able, through the bacteria that live on and in nodules on their roots, to gather a portion or all of their nitrogen from the air and use it in their growth. This nitrogen is taken from the air, which circulates in the soil and which comes in contact with the roots of the plant. The more deeply and thoroughly the soil is prepared the greater will be the root development of the cowpea or other plant, and the more air will circulate in the soil, thus en- abling the crop to make a greater growth and accumulate more nitrogen for its own use and for the use of crops of corn, cotton, and grains which follow. Peas may be planted broadcast or drilled with a grain drill, when one bushel per acre is a good quantity of seed ; or they may be put out in rows 2^ to 3% feet apart, when one-half bushel per acre will give good results. When planted in rows peas should be cultivated two to three times with weeder, harrow, or cultivator. The extra growth of crop and increase of nitrogen gathered from the air give profitable returns for the cultivation. The size of seed of the different varieties of peas vary, some being twice as large as others, and it is not necessary to 'use so large a quantity of the small as of the large seeded kinds. The fol- lowing table gives the results of three years' test of different quan- tities of seed in 31/3-foot rows, the variety used being the New Era, the seed of which are small. These results show one-half bushel in rows of the above width to be a good seeding. Fertilization. — As the cowpea is able to get a portion of its nitro- gen from the air, it is not necessary on soils in fair to good condition to supply this constituent in fertilizers for this crop. Our experi- ments presented in this report confirm this view. Other experi- TlIK BULLKTIX. 63 < o H-l K C <: m o o 64 The Bulletijst. ments and observations indicate that where nitrogen is supplied in the fertilizer or is contained in too great abundance in the soil, the cowpea may become lazy and is not as active in extracting nitrogen from the air as when it is necessary for it to obtain it from this source for its growth. On poor soils, where the plants start slowly and are sickly in appearance, it is profitable to add a small amount of nitrogen in the fertilizer,. or as a side dressing, to produce growth to the point where the root development will enable the peas to get the nitrogen they need from atmospheric sources.

On soils needing lime, because they are deficient in it, or where they need lime to correct sourness, or acidity, it should be applied. The two important fertilizer constituents for the cowpea are phos- phoric acid and potash, and it pays to supply these liberalh\ either combined or singly, according to the needs of the soil, as the plant cannot make a satisfactory erowth and add to the fertility of the soil without them. A ton of pea-vine hay, in round numbers, re- moves from the soil 47 pounds nitrogen, 10 pounds phosphoric acid, and 29 pounds potash, and 1 bushel of })eas with the hulls going with them (85 pounds) removes 2.3 pounds nitrogen, .6 pound phos- phoric acid, and 1.4 pounds potash. At least sufiicicnt phosphoric acid and potash should be sup])lied in the fertilizer to return what is removed in the crop, and considerably more if it is expected to keep up the productiveness of the land by supplying the waste from washing and leaching. Our experiments already reported on the red-clay loam of the Iredell Test Farm show that this soil does not need potash for pea production. The analysis of the soil shows it to be comparatively hi<:h in potash. Our analyses of red (cecil) clay The Bulletin. 65 loams from other parts of the piedmont, red (cecil) clays, and valley lands prove them to be as rich or richer in potash than the soils on which we experimented. We therefore feel safe in conclud- ing that these piedmont soils, which make up the main farming area of the piedmont section of the State proper, do not need potash for growing peas. In like manner, analyses of the valley and main upland soils of the mountains show them to be high in potash; and experi- ments with other crops on the Buncombe Farm on high potash soils do not respond, to any considerable extent, at least, to applications of potash. For the present, at least, and until contradictory evidence is CowPEAs IN Corn. obtained, we feel that we are safe in advising that potash is not neces- sary in the growth of peas on the soils referred to above in the pied- mont and mountain districts of the State. This is likely true, also, of the clovers and other leguminous crops. This should mean no small saving to the farmers growing this crop on these soils. The yield of hay on the Iredell Farm varies from less than a ton to more than three tons per acre, according to season and variety. Three tons of hay would remove 30 pounds phosphoric acid, which would be almost returned by 200 pounds 14 per cent acid phosphate. 5 66 - The Bulletin. Our best results were obtained from 300 to 500 pounds of acid phos- phate. We would therefore suggest the following fertilization for piedmont red clay, red-clay loam, and valley soils and mountain, valley and main upland soils: FOR LAND IN FAIR TO GOOD CONDITION. Acid phosphate, 14 per cent 300 to 500 pounds. Three hundred pounds would contain 42 pounds phosphoric acid and 500 pounds 70 pounds phosphoric acid. Acid phosphate of other grades can be used to supply these amounts of phosphoric acid. FOR POOR LAND. Acid phosphate, 14 per cent 300 to 500 pounds. Dried blood 30 to 50 pounds. In case acid phosphate has been used and it is found that the peas are not making a satisfactory start, a side dressing of 50 to 75 pounds nitrate of soda may be applied to advantage. FOR SANDY AND SANDY-LOAM SOILS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN AND PIEDMONT. The sandy and loam soils of the eastern or coastal plain section of the State, and of the piedmont, as a rule, contain much less potash than the soils referred to above, though they are richer in potash than in phosphoric acid. Our experiments have not gone far enough to enable us to advise regarding these soils in the definite way that we can regarding the red-clay loam and similar soils of the piedmont and mountains, as regards fertilizer for peas. We have, therefore, to use our best judgment and our own and the observations of farmers in suggesting fertilizers for this crop on these soils. FOR LAND IN FAIR TO GOOD CONDITION. Acid phosphate, 14 per cent 300 to 500 pounds. Kainit 150 to 250 pounds. This mixture would contain available phosphoric acid, 9.3 per cent ; potash, 4 per cent. Other potash salts can take the place of kainit, the muriate especially being cheaper. One pound of muriate potash is equal in fertilizing value to four pounds of kainit. FOR POOR LAND. Acid phosphate, 14 per cent 300 to 500 pounds. Kainit - 150 to 250 })0unds. Dried blood 30 to 50 pounds. The Bulletin. 67 uses of the cowpea. The main uses of the cowpea are for grazing and soiling, hay and soil improvement. Grazing and Soiling. — The cowpea is largely grown in the South for grazing hogs, especially, as well as other animals ; its use for this purpose being more appreciated and extended from year to year. Cattle, sheep and like animals must become accustomed to it and be put on it gradually before they are allowed full pasture, or bad results may follow. It is used for soiling with excellent results, and to some extent for silage when grown with corn. The richness of the green pea-vines and leaves, green and ripe peas in protein, or muscle and lean meat and milk-producing constituents, make it a most valuable plant for these purposes. Where hogs are to be grazed and fattened on the peas, the Whittle is one of the best varieties, as it produces a large yield of peas of large size. Small Black, New Era, and Whippoorwill are also good varieties. Hay. — Pea-vine hay is difficult to cure, especially if the weather is not favorable. Different methods or modifications of methods are followed in different sections with greater or less success. Where an individual has found a particular plan to be successful, or where he knows that a method followed by some one else has given satis- factory results, it is well to follow it, though there are a number of standard ways of handling the crop and which are generally known to growers of peas. Our only suggestion here is that it be handled as little as possible, as the leaves of many of the varieties drop easily, and outside of the peas in pod the leaves are the most valuable part of the hay. Pea-vine hay ranks in feeding value with the clovers, vetch, and other leguminous hays, and is practically equal in feeding- value to wheat bran for what is eaten by the animal. By this is meant that animals will not, especially where the stems are tough, eat up clean all of the hay, but what is eaten is equal in milk and butter and growth-producing value, pound for pound, to wheat bran. If ground, as it might be, as alfalfa is at present, to produce pea- hay or pea-vine meal, it should sell as readily on the market and at practically the same price as wheat bran, which is now more than $30 per ton. This is a possible profitable industry for sections of the South where feeds are high, which is almost everywhere, and where pea-vine hay is grown in large quantity. It has a much higher feeding value than the grass and similar hays and we cannot better show its merit than by comparison with wheat bran, which is universally recognized as a feed of general usefulness and high merit. The following table shows the comparative composition and feed- ing value of pea-vine hay and wheat bran: 68 The Bulletin.

SOIL IMPROVEMENT. The co^vpea is likely grown more largely for soil improvement than for all other purposes combined, and if it has a use gTcater than for soil improvement, it is second only to its feeding value, which has already been seen to be high. Nitrogen is the most costly constituent in fertilizers. The cowpea is able to get its supply of this constituent from the inexhaustible supply of nitrogen in the air. This nitrogen is taken from the air circulating through the soil spaces by the very minute, microscopic organisms living on and in the nodules, warts, or enlargements on the roots of the cowpea plant. These nodules are the home of the bacte- ria and are shown in the cut on another page. Com, cotton and the The Bulletin. 69 grains arc not able to thus get nitrogen from the air, but must be sup- plied with it through fertilizers or from the cowpea and other legu- minous plants, after they have obtained it and used it in their growth and have decayed in the soil. One ton of pea-vine hay contains in round numbers 47 pounds nitrogen, the greater portion, or all, of Nodules on Cowpea Roots, where Nitrogen-gathering Bacteria Work. which it has obtained from the air, and if left on the soil or turned under, this amount of nitrogen, corresponding to more than 700 pounds cotton-seed meal, is added to the soil for soil improvement and for the growth of other crops. The yield of pea-vine hay on fair land varies from one to three tons and the amount of nitrogen thus collected and stored in the soil is seen to be large, and in addition to this must be considered the value of the organic matter in improving the texture and physical condition of the soil. 70 The Bulletin. The question frequently arises as to whether or not it is best to cut and use the vines for hay or allow them to remain on the soil for its improvement. The feeding value of the hay needs to be considered in this connection, as the feeding value can be obtained and under the most favorable conditions 70 to 80 per cent of the fertilizing value be returned to the soil in the manure. This is seldom accomplished, however, with the methods followed for saving and handling manure. In most cases likely not over 50 per cent and generally much less than this finds its Avay back to the land. If the improvement of the land is the sole or main question, there can be but one answer, and that is to leave the entire crop on the soil. In addition to the 47 pounds of nitrogen, there are in a ton of pea-vine hay 10 pounds phos- phoric acid and 29 pounds potash, which would be worth, at the pres- ent prices for these three constituents in fertilizers, namely, 18 cents per pound for nitrogen, 5 cents per pound each for phosphoric acid and potash, $10.56 per ton. These constituents average around 85 per cent of the entire fertilizing value of the pea crop, which is made up of hay, roots, and stubble, the roots and stubble containing on an av- erage about 15 per cent of the fertilizer constituents of the cowpea crop. Good crops of co^vpeas grown on land and left there will im- prove it rapidly, but if the hay is removed and exhausting crops are planted in rotation the productiveness of the soil will be but slightly increased or not at all, unless judicious fertilization is followed. Turning under large crops of cowpeas in the fall, to be followed by small gi-ain, frequently results in disappointment because of reduced yield in comparison with land which did not have the peas. This is due to the habits of growth of the small grain, which require a com- pact soil. The peas leave the soil too open and porous. This inter- feres with root development and water-holding capacity. If the crop is handled properly this difficulty will not be encountered. On heavy land small crops of peas may be turned under green and greatly im- prove the texture of the soil, besides the addition of the fertilizer constituents of the pea. The safest way with moderate size and large crops is to cut them with a disk harrow or some other implement, allow them to wilt or even dry on the soil, and then turn them under. On light soils the trouble is likely to be more serious, and here it is especially necessary to either cut up large crops or else allow them to remain on the soil until after frost and even into the winter or early spring. On heavy, as well as light land, this practice is good, as the vines will then become at least partially decomposed and can be turned under during the winter or before planting in the spring. There may be some loss from remaining on the surface, but this will in all likelihood be overcome if not exceeded by j)revention from washing. The large hay-yielding varieties, as the Iron, Clay, Unknown, and Whippoorwill, are best suited for soil improvement. LEAF TOBACCO SALES FOR APRIL, 1910.

That it is more profitable for the farmer to produce a sufficient supply on his farm than to raise other crops, from the receipt of sales of which to pur- chase it, is generally admitted. Usually the farmer who has corn to sell each year has money to lend, and the farmer who buys corn each season to run his farm generally wishes to borrow money to pay for it. The Department of Agriculture desires to induce the farmers to recognize these evident facts, which have so vividly impressed themselves upon our history, and thus emerge from the condition of debt and humiliation, so common among them, by producing at least the corn needed upon each farm. In 1897 the farmers in the "Corn Belt," as it is generally called — viz., Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas and Iowa — realized that the production of corn per acre was hardly half what it was twenty years prior thereto. The agricultural associations began an investigation of the subject, and afterwards corn growers' associations were formed in each State to consider solely the subject of the produc- tion of seed corn. This paper is intended to present some of the developments along this line, as shown by their conclusions. Every grain of corn in embryo (at first) produces a strand of silk, which comes through the shuck at the end of the ear. In order to complete this grain some of the pollen or dust from a corn tassel must get on this silk and convey its vitality to the grain. If this is not done, the grain shrivels and fails to be perfected. The stalk from which the pollen is received de- termines in a large measure the kind of grain produced. The ear is the mother, the tassel the father of the grain of corn. As in the case of animals, it was seen that a good type or basis was necessary to pro- duce a desired individual, and that there must be a recognized ear of corn as the example of what was desired. Many of the readers of this paper, like the vsa-iter, have selected seed corn every year — some for near fifty years. But to-day, while the corn in their cribs may be all sound and marketable, there are a dozen or perhaps twenty dif- ferent types. One of these is best, or perhaps combining two into a new type would be better. The associations fixed on certain types and have bred to them. The small grains (wheat, oats and rye) brought into this State from the Middle States generally give the best crop the first season, but deteriorate in a few years. This has been the experience of the writer. Corn does not do this if carefully selected, but continues to improve after the first crop. We shall have to take varieties best suited to the different sections of the State and endeavor by selection to improve upon them. 1. Crossbreeding. 2. Inbreeding. Our Western friends report that "inbreeding" in corn is as un- desirable and degenerating as in animals. The Department of Agri- culture of Kansas,. in 1903, published a bulletin on this subject. By the kindness of Mr. F. D. Coburn, secretary of the Board of Agricul- ture of Kansas, I present a picture of the result of five years of inbreeding and crossbreeding. To prevent inbreeding was one of the first steps taken after choosing the type. Last spring, through the newspapers, I requested those interested to plant six ears of corn in six parallel rows. Corn will soon be shooting and tasselling. To prevent inbreeding or the pollen from the tassel fertilizing altogether the silk on the ear of the same stalk, just as the tassel appears cut out every tassel on one-half of row No. 2 ; then get over on row No. 3 and cut every tassel to the end of it ; then at that end begin on row No. 4 and cut tassels half- way back ; then change to No. 5 and cut to the end, as follows : * * 1 2. -X- Detasselled. ■?.- -A- •■f ■J-- * * * Detasselled. * * •^r 3. * * * * * * Detasselled. * * •5f 4. ■jr * • * * * * Detasselled. * * ■» 5. * * * * * * * * * * -:v * * * * 6. * * * * * * * ■H* * Then go through the corn that has not been detasselled and detassel every barren or undesirable stalk (that is, every one that has no ear upon it). If you desire a variety of more than one ear to the stalk, then detassel all the stalks having less than two ears. If a stalk has its ears too high and tends to produce too much stalk, then detassel these, and thus fix the desired type. Where you have a field of one kind of corn you might select any portion of it for your seed patch and treat it as recommended for the six rows above. Detasselling should be done as soon as the tassel ^5 appears BARREN STALKS. Barren stalks are said to produce a greater amount of pollen, there- fore should be promptly removed, or the pollen will cause the shoots upon the good stalks to produce ears that will bring other barren stalks. Barren stalks were found to be perhaps more detrimental than inbreeding. The loss from such cause is no surmise or guesswork, but can be easily proven. Go through a row of corn, count the barren stalks as compared to those bearing ears, and you have the proportion of loss. If you and a neighbor are passing through your or his field, let each of you take two rows and count as above, and then calculate what would be the increase if every stalk bore an ear. You have the stalk, and your fertilizer and land are taxed to produce it. All that is lacking is the ear. This loss was reported to be at least one-third, but has been reduced to less than 10 per cent in five years. If you find a stalk of corn you deem desirable for seed, detassel all undesirable stalks within ten feet of it, or you may have for your seed the very stalk you deem most undesirable. Careful attention to this matter will do much to increase the quality and quantity of corn in this State next year. SCORE-CARD FOR JUDGING CORaST. The associations determined the points desired in an ear of corn of a specified type, and arranged them in groups of 100 points, to be used in judging corn. The score-cards are not uniform in all the States. The following table shows the cards of the respective States named : « § m CO •A a a 10 5 10 o !a O 10 & o t— ( 5 10 5 g •3 a 10 5 10 c3 en t ■g 5 5 10 .2 '3 CO C g 10 10 5 5 5 g "m C ■ O OJ 1 Uniformity of exhibit 15 10 5 5 10 10 5 5 5 10 5 10 5 5 10 5 5 5 10 10 5 10 5 5 5 5 10 10 5 10 5 5 5 5 15 5 5 5 5 5 10 5 10 2 Maturity and market condition 10 3 Purity as sliown by color kernel 5 4 Purity as shown by color cob 5 5 Shape of ear 10 5 10 10 5 5 10 6 Proportion length and circumference 7 Butts 5 5 5 10 10 5 5 5 10 10 5 5 10 10 20 5 5 10 5 5 5 10 10 10 5 5 20 5 5 5 5 10 10 5 6 10 5 10 20 10 5 5 5 10 5 20 10 5 5 5 15 5 5 5 5 8 Tips 9 Space between rows 10 Per cent corn to ear 10 11 Trueness to type . .. 10 12 Space between rows at cob S 13 Grains— (a) shape 5 5 10 5 5 5 10 10 5 (6) uniformity 10 (c) germ 14 Length of ear.. 10 5 10 5 10 5 5 5 10 15 Circumference .. e; 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 109 100 100 100 NORTH CAROLINA SCORE-CARD.

At the farmers' institutes this summer and at the fairs this fall and especially at the meetings of the alliances and Farmers' Union, I hope this question will be considered and conclusions published in the papers, and afterwards the matter referred to competent authority to determine what shall be the provisions of the score-card. ISi^ext fall and winter it is proposed to have numerous corn-judging demonstrations, so that the farmers shall be made familiar with the various points obtainable on this subject. Our Western friends have two causes for anxiety about their seed corn which give us but little concern: First, injury to the seed by cold weather; second, failure to germinate. While the latter deserves attention, it is not often that we suffer from this, further than a reduction of the stand. This paper is published for the information of our farmers, and I hope they will give careful attention. While corn is the basis of our operations, yet a farmer should not forget the small-grain crops, nor crimson clover and vetch for pasture and winter cover crops. Where you have land in peas this summer, if it is at all thin do not cut the peas, but in September disc the ground into good condition stnd sow crimson clover and vetch, covering with a light weeder ; then follow' with corn next spring, after the crimson clover is ripe, and repeat the sowing of peas and crimson clover.

Sir: — I submit herewith analyses of fertilizers and cotton-seed meals made in the laboratory of samples collected during the past fall and spring. These analyses show fertilizers and meals to be about as heretofore and to be generally what was claimed for them. This material has been published heretofore as the Jtjlt Bulletin of the Department, and I recommend that it be issued as the July Bulletin. Very respectfully, B. W. KlLGOEE^ State Chemist. To Hon. William A. Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture. I. ANALYSES OF FERTILIZERS, FALL SEASON, 1909; SPRING SEASON, 1910. By B. W. KILGORE, W. G. HAYWOOD, J. M. PICKEL, J. Q. JACKSON and W. H. STROWD. The analyses presented in this Bulletin are of samples collected by the fertilizer inspectors of the Department, under the direction of the Commissioner of Agriculture, during fall months of 1909 and the spring months of 1910. 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 actually used, the farmer can know by or before the time fertilizers are put in the ground whether or not they contain the fertilizing constituents in the amounts they were claimed to be present. TERMS USED IN ANALYSES. Water-soluble Pliosplioric 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 phosphate has three parts of lime united to the phosphoric acid (called by chemists tri-calcium phos- phate). 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 lime united to the phosphoric acid. This one-lime phosphate is what is known as water-soluble phosphoric acid. Reverted Phosphoric 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 phos- phoric acid, and is thus an intermediate product between ;vater- soluble and the original rock. Water-soluble phosphoric acid is considered somewhat more valu- able than reverted, because it becomes better distributed in the soil as a consequence of its solubility in water. Available Phosphoric Acid is made up of the water-soluble and re- verted ; it is the sum of these two. Water-soluble Artimonia. — The main materials furnishing am- monia 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 6 The Bulletin. in water and become well distributed in the soil where plant roots can get at them. Thej are, especially the nitrate of soda, ready to be taken up by plants, and are therefore quick-acting forms of am- monia. 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 soiU 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. 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, jiecessarily, 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 does not matter whether this substance is present in common salt or potash-furnishing materials. The use of sulphate of potash where there is chlorine present in the other ingredients of the fertilizer will not prevent the injurious effect of the chlorine. The term potash from muriate in our analyses, The Bulletin. 7 therefore, means that there is sufficient chlorine present in the ferti- lizer from all sources to combine with the potash to the extent indi- cated by the analyses. VALUATIONS. To have a basis for comparing the values of different fertilizer materials and fertilizers, it is necessary to assign prices to the three valuable constituents of fertilizers — ammonia, phosphoric acid, and potash. These figures, expressing relative value per ton, are not intended to represent crop-producing power, or agricultural value, but are estimates of the commercial value of ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash in the materials supplying them. These values are only approximate, as the cost of fertilizing materials is liable to change as other commercial products are, but they are believed to fairly rep- resent the cost of making and putting fertilizers on the market. They are based on a careful examination of trade conditions, whole- sale and retail, and upon quotations of manufacturers. Relative value per ton, or the figures showing this, repi'esents 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, phosphoric acid and potash. This costs something. For this reason it is thought well to have two sets of valuations— one for the raw or unmixed materials, such as acid phosphate, kainit, cotton-seed meal, etc., and one for mixed fertilizers. VALUATIONS FOR 1909. In Unmixed or Raiv Materials. For phosphoric acid in acid phosphate 4 cents per pound. For phosphoric acid in bone meal, basic slag and Peruvian guano 3% cents per pound. For nitrogen 18 cents per pound. For potash 5 cents per pound. In Mixed Fertilizers. For phosphoric acid 4^/2 cents per pound. For nitrogen 19V2 cents per pound. For potash ■ 51/2 cents per pound. The valuations decided on this season, for reasons already given, are: VALUATIONS FOR 1910. In Unmixed or Raiv Materials. For phosphoric acid in acid phosphate 4 cents per pound. For phosphoric acid in bone meal, basic slag and Peruvian guano 3^2 cents per pound. For nitrogen 18 cents per pound. For potash 5 cents per pound. 8 The Bulletin. In Mixed Fertilizers. For available phosphoric acid 41/2 cents per pound. For nitrogen 191/2 cents per pound. For potash 51/2 cents per pound. HOW RELATIVE VALUE IS CALCULATED. In the calculation of relative value it is only necessary to remem- ber that so many per cent means the same numlDer of pounds per hun- dred, 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 con- tains available phosphoric acid 8 per cent, potash 2 per cent, and nitrogen 1.65 per cent, the calculation is made as follows: . ^r^r^ T-u Value Per Value Per Ton, Percentage, or Lbs. m 100 Lbs. ^^^ Lbs. 2,000 Lbs.

FERTILIZER EXPERIMENTS WITH COTTON ON PIEDMONT RED CLAY LOAM SOIL AND II. VARIETIES, CULTURE, AND FERTILIZATION OF COTTON ON PIEDMONT RED CLAY LOAM, RED CLAY, AND VAL- LEY SOILS. Being a Report of Work with Cotton on the Iredell Test Farm IN 1903-'09, Inclusive. By B. W. Kilgore, C. B. Williams, G. M. MacNider, and F. T. Meacham. GENERAL SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF FERTILIZER TESTS. 1. The proper fertilization of cotton pays large profits, larger ones than any other staple crop generally grown in the State. What this fertilization should be on this and similar soils is shown by the results of our experiments as given on the following pages. 2. For the production of cotton on this land nitrogen alone was used at a loss ; potash alone gave small increase in yields and profits ; potash and nitrogen combined were less effective than potash alone, indicat- ing that potash is more important than nitrogen, though neither is very effective, and should not be used alone or combined for cotton on this soil. 3. Phosphoric acid alone produced decidedly increased yields at good profits in all cases. Nitrogen combined with phosphoric acid did not increase the yields very much over phosphoric acid alone, while potash added to phosphoric acid produced profitable results. Nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash combined in a complete ferti- lizer yielded larger returns and profits than either one of th*e three constituents or two of them combined, the indications being that practically two-thirds of the increased yields and profits were the result of phosphoric acid, and one-third of potash and nitrogen to- gether, potash being rather more important than nitrogen. The experiments as a whole show that phosphoric acid is the pre- dominant or controlling constituent for increasing yields and adding to profits in growing cotton on this soil. 6 The Bulletin. 4. The average results show that lime alone was used at very small profit, while in combination with nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and pot- ash to make a complete fertilizer, the application was at a loss, the complete fertilizer without lime producing larger yield and greater I^rofit than when lime was used in connection' with them. It might be well to bear in mind that lime alone on the plat in Field C, where peas have been grown four years, gave good returns, though even here lime in combination with a complete fertilizer gave less returns than the fertilizer without the lime. On a whole, the indications are that this soil does not need lime for cotton production. 5. The amount of nitrogen in the normal fertilizer (400 pounds per acre), applied in the cotton experiments, was 2^ per cent, or 10 pounds to the acre. This amount was varied so as to give 5, 10, 20, and 30 pounds of nitrogen per acre. The yields and profits did not increase for the larger quantities of nitrogen. On an average, the largest profit was obtained from the smallest amount of nitrogen, or 5 pounds per acre, though 20 pounds per acre produced the largest increased yield. Five pounds of nitrogen would be supplied by 381/4 pounds of 13 per cent dried blood and 10 pounds by 77 pounds of blood. 6. The amount of potash in the normal fertilizer (400 pounds per acre) used was 2^2 per cent or 10 pounds per acre. Varying this amount so as to apply 5, 10, 20, and 30 pounds per acre respectively, showed as an average of the results that 10 pounds of potash per acre, or 214 per cent in the mixture, gave the most profitable returns. Five pounds of potash would be supplied by 25 pounds of 20 per cent manure salt and 10 pounds by 50 pounds of manure salt. 7. The amount of phosphoric acid in the normal fertilizer (400 pounds per acre) was 7 per cent, or 28 pounds per acre. This quan- tity wa's varied so as to apply 14, 28, 56, and 84 pounds respectively of phosphoric acid per acre. The most profitable yield was from 28 pounds, though the largest yield came from an application of 84 pounds per acre. These amounts of phosphoric would be supplied by 100, 200, 400, and 600 pounds respectively of 14 per cent acid phosphate. 8. Varying the amounts of the normal fertilizer application from 200 to 1,000 pounds per acre gave increased yield and profits for all The Bulletin. < the applications, the results being quite uniform in this regard and the averages, after paying for the fertilizer, showed the following net profits : 200 pounds of fertilizer per acre gave a profit of $16.00; 400 pounds of fertilizer per acre gave a profit of 27.G1 ; 600 pounds of fertilizer per acre gave a profit of 32.30; 800 pounds of fertilizer per acre gave a profit of 33.84 ; 1,000 pounds of fertilizer per acre gave a profit of 36.86. Putting this in a slightly different way, the first 200 pounds of fertilizer yielded a net profit (after paying for cost of fertilizer) of $8 for each 100 pounds of fertilizer ; the application of 400 pounds yielded $6.70 per 100 pounds; 600 pounds yielded $5.38 per 100 pounds; 800 pounds yielded $4.23 per 100 pounds, and 1,000 pounds yielded a profit of $3.69 per 100 pounds of fertilizer. 9. Comparisons of dried blood and nitrate of soda as sources of nitrogen show no special advantage one over the other in the produc- tion of cotton on this soil. In the tests nitrate of soda was applied one-half at planting and one-half about July first, on one plat ; one- half was applied about July first, the other half of the nitrogen com- ing from dried blood, which was applied before planting, on another plat, and on a third plat nitrate of soda furnished one-fifth of the nitrogen, the balance coming from dried blood, all being applied be- fore planting. The blood was applied one-half at planting and one- half about July first on one plat ; one-half at planting, the rest of the nitroa-en comine- from nitrate of soda which was applied July first on another plat, and on a third plat four-fifths of the nitrogen was sup- plied by blood and one-fifth by nitrate of soda. The most economical method of application and the one which yielded as large profits as any, is to put all of the fertilizer in the drill before planting, using either all blood or part blood and part nitrate of soda. It is possible that nitrate of soda as the sole source of nitrogen, put out before planting, will give as good results as where a part of the nitrogen comes from blood ; but this was not tested. 10. When 400 pounds of fertilizer were applied each in the drill before planting, broadcast before planting, and divided into two equal parts, one-half being applied in the drill before planting and the other half as a side dressing about July first, the broadcast application yielded about two-thirds the increased yield and profit that the other 8 The Bulletin. two methods of application did. The other two methods of applica- tion were practically equal in increased yields and profits. 11. Where 400 pounds is used to the acre the best and most eco- nomical method of application is in the drill before planting. 12. Our soil analyses of the various soils of the State indicate that these results will apply to the red (cecil) clay loams or red (cecil) clays and valley soils of the Piedmont section of the State. 13. For the production of cotton on these soils, taking the results here reported as a whole, it is recommended that at least 400 pounds of fertilizer be used and as much more as can be afforded up to 1,000 pounds per acre. The fertilizer can be most profitably applied in the drill before planting, though there is no objection to dividing the application into two parts, putting out one-half in the drill be- fore planting and the other half as a side dressing about July first, according to season. The fertilizer mixture should contain about 10 per cent phosphoric acid and 2 per cent each of nitrogen and potash. The nitrogen may be all derived from blood, tankage, cotton-seed meal, or similar products, or in part from one or all of these, and in part (up to one-half) from nitrate of soda. Kainit, manure salt, sulphate or muriate of potash may furnish the potash, and acid phosphate the phosphoric acid. Four hundred pounds of the above mixture would contain 40 pounds of available phosphoric acid and 8 pounds each of nitrogen and potash, and 1,000 pounds would contain 100 pounds of available phosphoric acid and 20 pounds each of nitrogen and potash. The required amounts of phosphoric acid in 400 and 1,000 pounds respec- tively of this mixture would be supplied by 286 pounds and 715 pounds of 14 per cent acid phosphate; the nitrogen by 61.5 pounds and 154 pounds of 13 per cent dried blood; and the potash by 40 pounds and 100 pounds of manure salt. Other materials or other grades of these same materials may be used, and it will not be diffi- cult, knowing just what they contain, to use such quantities of them as will be necessary to furnish the quantities of plant food, having in mind that it is the specific number of pounds of phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash that is desired, rather than a given weight of mixed fertilizer. The Bulletin. 9 I. FERTILIZER EXPERIMENTS WITH COTTON ON PIEDMONT RED CLAY LOAM SOIL This is the second of a series of Bulletins giving the results of experiments to determine the fertilizer needs of different crops on different type soils. The first report, issued as the June (1910) Bulletin^ gave the ''Results of Fertilizer and Variety Experiments with Cowpeas on Piedmont Red Clay Loam Soil." WORK REPORTED. Cotton is our leading money crop. More commercial fertilizer is used in fertilizing and growing this crop than any other. It re- sponds readily and profitably to proper fertilization. Some ten years ago systematic experiments wei'e begun to determine the ferti- lizer or plant-food requirements for the most economical production of cotton on our different cotton soils. On the following pages are recorded the results of seven years' fertilizer and variety tests of cotton on the Iredell Test Farm of this Department, extending through the years 1903-1909, both inclusive. The work is being continued to collect further data, when cotton is grown as it has been in the work here recorded, as well as in rotations with other staple crops and soil-improving crops. LOCATION OF FARM AND CHARACTER OF SOIL. The Iredell Test Farm is located near Statesville, in Iredell County, well up in the Piedmont (foothill) section of the State, the elevation being 950 feet above sea-level. The main type of soil on the farm is red (cecil) clay loam, the subsoil being a moderately heavy clay, but the surface soil has sufficient sand in it to make it a clay loam rather than a clay, though when freshly plowed it would to a casual observer be looked upon as red clay. The main types of soil in the Piedmont are cecil sandy loam (gray land), red (cecil) clay loam, and red (cecil) clay, the latter two being the predomi- nating types. The clay and clay-loam types are rich in potash, very poor in phosphoric acid, the amount of nitrogen depending on the organic matter in the soil. Analyses of samples of soil from the unfertilized plats, on which these experiments were conducted, show that the soil contains about the following number of pounds of plant food per acre (to a depth of ten inches, estimating the weight of this ten-inch acre soil to be three million pounds) : Nitrogen (N ) 2,010 pounds. Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) 2,280 pounds. Potash (KoO) 12,540 pounds. Lime (CaO) 12,840 pounds. 10 The Bulletin. THE PLATS, The plats on which these experiments were conducted were em- braced in Fields A, B, and C. Fields A and B had been long in cultivation and were badly run down when work was started in 1903. The plats in Field A were laid off in two series parallel to each other, there being twenty plats to the series, with a driveway or turn-row between plats. The plats are one-tenth acre in size, or 217.8 by 20 feet, with space between plats sufficient for two rows of cotton or other crops, the row on either side of each plat being fertilized like the plat which it adjoins. The plats in Field B were laid out in a similar way and were of the same size. The plats in Field C were part of an old field, covered wath broom- sedge, small briars, and small pines in 1903. The pines were grubbed out and the other growth turned under with a two-horse plow in the spring of 1903 and cultivated in corn that year, with a ferti- lizer application of 300 pounds per acre of the normal corn mixture. In the fall of 1903 crimson clover was sown, but no stand was obtained. The land was prepared in the spring of 1904 and laid oif in plats of one-twentieth acre each, the size being 108.9 feet by 20 feet, with space between plats for two extra rows, the rows nearest the plats being fertilized in each case like the plats they adjoin. There is a four-foot space at the ends of the plats. There are two series of sixteen plats each in this field, with driveway or turn-row between. In the case of all plats on this farm there is a four-foot extra space at the ends of plats. Field A. — These plats were used for fertilizer experiments with cotton in 1903-'4:-'6 ; for fertilizer experiments with corn in 1905-'7; for general crop of oats without fertilizer in the fall and spring of 1908; for fertilizer experiments with peas in the summer of 1908, and for fertilizer experiments with cotton in 1909. In case of each of the three crops the same plan or system of fertilization was followed. By this is meant that plat one in all cases received only nitrogen, plat two phosphoric acid, plat three potash, and so on, though the quantities actually applied varied with the three crops. The fertilization of the cotton plats was based on a normal applica- tion of 400 pounds per acre of a mixture containing 7 per cent avail- able phosphoric acid and 2 per cent each of nitrogen and potash. The fertilization for corn was on basis of 300 pounds per acre of a mix- ture containing 7 per cent available phosphoric acid, 3 per cent nitro- gen, and IY2 per cent potash. For peas the fertilization was based on a normal application of 300 pounds per acre of a mixture con- taining 8 per cent available phosphoric acid, 1 per cent nitrogen, and 4 per cent potash. The Bulletin. 11 Field B. — These plats were used for fertilizer experiments with corn in 1903, 1901, 1906, and 1908; for fertilizer experiments with cotton in 1905 and 1907; for a general crop of oats without fertilizer in the fall and spring of 1909, and for fertilizer experiments with peas in the summer of 1909. Field C. — These plats were used for fertilizer experiments with peas in 1904, 1905, 1906, and 1907, a grain crop without fertiliza- tion preceding the pea crop in each year except 1904; for fertilizer experiments with cotton in 1908; and for fertilizer experiments with corn m 1909. preparation and cultivation. The land in all cases was well prepared by breaking with a two- horse turning plow in the winter, usually January and February, to a depth of 8 to 10 inches, and allowed to remain this way until just before planting, when it was cut up thoroughly with a disk harrow. The rows were run off 3I/3 feet apart, the fertilizer distributed in the drill and covered to a slight ridge, usually with one furrow of disk or other cultivator. This was done some time prior to planting, so as to give the ground time to settle before planting. Except the first year (1903), when Culpepper's Improved was used, King's Improved was the variety of cotton grown. The cotton was planted as soon as the weather would permit in the spring, on the slight ridge made in covering the fertilizer, but which was usually brought to a level, or almost to a level, by the cotton planter. The cotton was well culti- vated with weeders, harrows. Planet Jr. and two-horse cultivators, requiring not exceeding two furrows to row, making the cultivation deep at beginning and shallow toward the close of the season, when root development of the plants was well extended into the soil. The cultivation was repeated each ten days or two weeks during the sea- son, the crop being laid by between the 15th of July and August 1st, according to season. The cotton was thinned as nearly as possible to one stalk in the hill every 15 inches. FERTILIZATION AND FERTILIZER MATERIALS USED. As already stated, the fertilizer was applied in the drill just before planting the cotton, the exact quantity of material for each row being weighed out separately so that each row would get its proper amount of the several fertilizer constituents. Acid phosphate was used as the source of phosphoric acid ; dried blood as the source of nitrogen, except where there was a comparison of different nitrogen-furnishing materials, or where nitrate of soda was used as a part of the nitrogen ; manure salt as the source of potash, and rock or building lime for lime. The fertilizer materials were analyzed each year and applica- tions made on basis of actual analyses, so as to give the exact quanti- ties of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash required for each plat. For the sake of simplicity and convenience in presenting the results of a number of years' experiments, the fertilizer applications are 12 The Bulletin. expressed in terms of acid phosphate containing 14 per cent avail- able phosphoric acid, .dried blood containing 13 per cent nitrogen, nitrate of soda containing 14.8 per cent nitrogen, and manure salt containing 20 per cent potash, which figures represent the average composition of these materials. The fertilizer applications in the fertilizer experiments are on basis of 400 pounds per acre for the normal plat (N P K) of a mixture containing 7 per cent available phosphoric acid and 2 per cent each of nitrogen and potash. Lime is applied at the rate of 500 pounds rock or building lime, or 1,000 pounds slaked lime. The fertilizer applications in the tables, in addition to being represented in terms of acid phosphate, dried blood, nitrate of soda, and manure salt, are also expressed in terms of the symbols, ]^ P K and L, which have the following significance : N equals nitrogen at the rate of 10 pounds per acre, or 77 pounds of 13 per cent dried blood ; P equals phosphoric acid at the rate of 28 pounds per acre, or 200 pounds of 14 per cent acid phosphate ; K equals potash at the rate of 10 pounds per acre, or 50 pounds 20 per cent manure salt ; L equals lime at the rate of 500 pounds rock or 1,000 pounds slaked lime per acre. There are columns in the tables showing the exact weights in pounds of phosphoric acid, nitrogen, and potash applied to each plat (expressed on acre basis), which will enable any one to use these same amounts of fertilizer constituents in other materials if desired. The following average prices which fairly represent the cost of the several materials to the farmer for the period under experimentation have been assumed for the materials used : 14 per cent Acid Phosphate $14.00 per ton, 13 per cent Dried Blood 60.00 per ton. 14.8 per cent Nitrate of Soda (18 per cent Ammonia) 50.00 per ton, 20 per cent Manure Salt 20.00 per ton. Rock Lime 10.00 per ton. The arrangements of the plats and the scheme of fertili::er appli- cation is shown by the following: Normal fertilizer application, 400 pounds per acre of mixture con- taining— Phosphoric Acid 7 per cent. Nitrogen 21/2 per cent. Potash 21/2 per cent. In this normal application — N equals 10 pounds nitrogen, equals 77 pounds 13 per cent dried blood; The Bulletiit. 13 P equals 28 pounds phosphoric acid, equals 200 pounds 14 per cent acid phosphate ; K equals 10 pounds potash, equals 50 pounds 20 per cent manure salt.

Besides soil, seed, fertilization, and cultivation, and time of plant- ing, weather conditions, mainly the rainfall, influence the crop yield. In the table presented herewith will be found the monthly and annual rainfall during the years covered by the experiments, the mean monthly and annual rainfall since 1868, and the same data for the months of May to September, inclusive. During the growing months the rainfall in 1903 was below the normal and there was an earlv frost; good conditions prevailed in 1904; 1905 and 190G had more than the normal amount of rainfall, and there was an early frost in 1906, The rainfall throughout 1907 and in the growing season was low, and 1908 and 1909 were noted for heavy rainfalls.

In studying the yields of the several fields it is well to bear in mind that Field A was used continuouslv duriuo- the seven vears for cotton and corn, except in 1908, when oats without fertilizer were grown in the spring and followed by a crop of fertilizer experiment peas in the summer. Field B was used continuously for corn and cotton, but had oats and peas in 1909. Field C grew oats and peas, oats with- out fertilizer and peas in the regular fertilizer experiments in 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907; cotton in 1908, and corn in 1909. The Bulletin. 15 In the future, as during the past three years, the crops will be grown according to the following rotation : First year Cotton ; Second year Corn ; Third year Small grain and peas. Each crop has been and will be fertilized according to the scheme outlined in the fertilizer experiments for cotton, corn, small grain, and peas. The experiments were planned to cover the culture and fertilization of cotton as a Avhole, but the results of the several subdivisions or phases of the subject are grouped in short tables to facilitate exami- nation and the drawing of conclusions, after which they will be con- sidered as a whole and general conclusions drawn for the fertilization of the crop on this type of soil. 16 The Bulletin.

Additional experiments have been put out this year (1910) to test this, the quantity running up to 1,800 pounds per acre. In addition to larger profits from heavy fertilization of the right kind, the land is in' all probability improving in productiveness and value. Results on these plats and fields in after years will be most valuable in throwing light on this most important phase of the proper fertilization for immediate returns and for the permanent improve- ment of the soil.

The experiments, the results of which are presented in Table VI, were arranged to test the comparative value of dried blood and nitrate of soda as nitrogen-furnishing materials in growing cotton, as well as the best way of applying these. Xitrate of soda is a material easily soluble in water and therefore quickly available for the use of plants. The questions usually raised in connection with its use are the possibility of its loss from the soil, especially sandy or open, porous soil, because of its easy solubility in water, and its giving out before a long-seasoned crop has made its growth, thus leaving it without a supply of nitrogen before the end of the growing season. Its use is most strongly advocated for short- season crops, as in early truck and vegetable growing and as a top dressing for grain and for corn and cotton after growth is well ad- vanced, or for any crop when seen to be in need of a quickly-acting nitrogen-supplying material. Dried blood, which is a fair representative of the animal and vege- table materials furnishing nitrogen, as cotton-seed meal, tankage, etc., is not soluble in water and acts more slowly and for a longer time. It must be changed by rotting or decomposing in the soil into nitrate before it can feed the crop, and is thus likely to be effective through- out a reasonable growing season. It has become a practice in growing many crops to apply only a part of the nitrogen at the time of planting and a portion later, usually as nitrate of soda, so as to keep the crop growing as rapidly as possible. The tests in Table VI were planned with a view of throwing as much light as possible on these questions of nitrogen fertilization.

On plat 5^ and 11^ one-half the nitrogen was supplied as dried blood and was applied with the phosphoric acid and potash before planting, and one-half the nitrogen was supplied as nitrate of soda and applied about July first. In plats 6^ and 12^ all of the nitrogen was furnished by nitrate of soda, one-half being applied before planting, with the phosphoric acid and potash and the other half about July first. On plats 7^ and 13-^ the nitrogen was supplied by dried blood, one-half being applied before planting, with the phosphoric acid and potash and the other half about July first. On plats 8 and 15 four-fifths of the nitrogen was furnished by dried blood and one-fifth by nitrate of soda and was all applied before planting, along with the phosphoric acid and potash. While there were variations in the different years and on the two fields from the two nitrogen-supplying materials and methods of application, the average results for the six years show rather marked uniformity in increased yields and profits. The average results are so nearly the same that it can hardly be said that one material or method of application has given better results than others, though slightly the largest average profit was obtained from applying all of the nitrogen along with the phosphoric acid and potash before plant- ing, having four-fifths of it supplied as dried blood and one-fifth as nitrate of soda. The additional expense of dividing the application of nitrogen and applying one-half before planting and one-half later is not justified by the experiments. It is to be borne in mind that the soil on which these tests were made is a clay loam with a good clay subsoil, and the danger of loss from leaching is very slight, if any. It is quite clear from the six years' work on this soil with an application of 400 pounds per acre that the most economical way of applying the fertilizer is to put it all in the drill before planting the crop. The results might be different on sandy loams or sandy soils. o 6 The Bulletin.

THE RESULTS. In studying the yields of the several fields it is well to bear in mind that Field A was used continuously duriug the seven years for cotton and corn, except in 1908, when oats without fertilizer were grown in the spring and followed by a crop of fertilizer experiment peas in the summer. Field B was used continuously for corn and cotton, but had oats and peas in 1909. Field C grew oats and peas, oats without fertilizer and peas in the regular fertilizer experiments in 1904-5-G-7; cotton in 1908, and corn in 1909. In the future, as during the past three years, the crops will be grown according to the following rotation: TABLE I.

The experiments in Table II were planned to test the effect on the yield of corn and stover of varying qnantities of nitrogen, leav- ing the phosphoric acid and potash constant. On one ])]at the nitrogen Avas reduced to one-half the normal quantity, making the application 44 pounds of nitrogen per acre, or practically 1-i- per cent in the fertilizer mixture. On two of the plats it was increased by two and three times the normal quantity (t) pounds per acre), making the ajiplication 18 and 27 pounds per acre respectively, or on the four plats 4^, 9, 18, and 27 pounds of nitrogen per acre. The avei-age results for four years in Field B showed the largest profit to have come from the application containing twice the normal quantity of nitrogen per acre, or 18 pounds of nitrogen, the average yield being 38.4 bushels corn per acre, and the proHt $10.70 over cost of fertilizer on basis of corn alone or $10.37 on basis of corn and stover. For two years in Field A the largest yields and profit were from the application containing three times the normal quantity of nitrogen, or 27 pounds nitrogen per acre, the average yield of corn being 41.8 bushels i^er acre, and the profit $12.08 over cost of fertilizer, on basis of corn alone, or $17.09 on basis of corn TlIK BULT.TCTIN. 33 Continued.

In one year in Field C twice the normal qnantity of nitrogen gave the best returns, the yield of corn being 48.5 bushels, and the profit $14.51 over cost of fertilizer on basis of corn alone and $20.15 on basis of corn and stover. As ari average for the • seven years 18 pounds of nitrogen per acre (twice the normal quantity) gave the largest profits, though 27 pounds of nitrogen gave slightly the largest yield of corn. These results emphasize the importance of nitrogen for the pro- duction of corn on this soil when applied in connection with the proper amount of phosphoric acid and some potash. The fertilizer application which gave best results in these tests (Is'a P K) cost $5.44 per acre and yielded a profit of $11.50 over cost of fertilizer, on basis of corn alone, or $16.70 on basis of corn and stover. The average yield of corn during the seven years from this fertilization was 39.8 bushels of corn per acre; the yield with- out fertilizer was 15.6 bushels per acre, or an annual average in- crease of 24.2 bushels per acre due to fertilizer. Without fer- tilizer the land lost rapidly in productiveness, while with the larger quantities of nitrogen (18 and *27 pounds per acre) there were larger yields in after years than in the first year, the average for the entire seven years being larger than for the first year. 9 34 The Bulletin.

On one plat only one-half the normal quantity of potash was applied or % per cent in the fertilizer mixture, or 2.2 pounds of potash per acre. On two other plats two and three times the normal quantities were given, or 9 and 13.5 pounds per acre respectively. This would make the application of potash on the several plats 2.2, 4.5, 9, and 13.5 pounds.

Neither was a very small quantity, % per cent in the fertilizer mix- ture, or 2.2 pounds per acre, as profitable or as effective in increas- ing yields as the normal quantity. The indications are that 1^ per cent of potash is all that is needed for corn in this soil when used in connection with the reg- ular quantities of nitrogen and phosphoric acid in the normal corn mixture. The results further throw light on the comparative values of nitrogen and potash for corn on this soil and give unquestionably a more important place to nitrogen than potash.

Nitrate of soda is one of the best, if not the best, representative of quickly acting nitrogenous materials. Because of its easy solubility in water and the form of its nitrogen, it is quickly avail- able for the use of plants. The questions usually raised in connec- tion with its use are the possibility of its loss from the soil, especially 58 The Bulletin. sandy or open, porous soil, because of its easy solubility in water, and of its givin^s; out before a long-seasoned crop has made its growth, thus leaving the crop without a supply of nitrogen before the end of the growing season. Its use is most strongly advocated for short-season crops, as in early truck and vegetable growing and as a top dressing for grain and for corn and cotton after growth is well advanced, or for any crop when seen to be in need of a quickly- acting nitrogen-supplying material. Dried blood, whicli is a fair representative of the animal and vegetable nuiterials furnishing nitrogen, as cotton-seed meal, tank- age, etc., is not soluble in water and acts more slowly and for a longer time. It must be changed by rotting or decomposing in the soil into nitrate before it can feed the crop, and is thus likely to be effective throughout a reasonable growing season. It has become a practice in growing many crops to apply only a part of the nitrogen at the time of planting and a portion later, usually as nitrate of soda, so as to keep the crop growing as rapidly as possible. The experiments in Table VI were planned with a view of throwing as much light as possible on these questions of nitrogen fertilization in corn growing. In the tests all of the phosphoric acid and potash were applied in the drill before planting. On two plats (11^ and 5") one-half the nitrogen was supplied as dried blood and was ap])lied with the phosphoric acid and potash before planting, the other half of the nitrogen being supi)lied as nitrate of soda and was applied about July first. On two other plats (12^ and C") all of the nitrogen was supplied by nitrate of soda, one-half being applied before planting with the phosphoric acid and potash, and the other TABLE VII— RESULTS OF FERTILIZER EXPERIMENTS WITH CORN ON OF A PPL PEsri-TS ijn field b (5^142) 10» Unfertillzed= 0= 69.2 pounds 13% blood= --N= 15 pounds 14% acid pho3phate= P= 22.5 pounds 20% manure 8alt= - K= Fertilizer app led In drill before planting. 2 ^.t O a ^< « . 0) Is J2 Yield in Bushels u i "• ca of Shelled Corn o 0 <- per Acre. -0-3 S< §< 5- 1903 1904 1906 PL, PL, PU 21.8 20.2 15.9 9 21 4.5 34.2 37.1 43.2 The Bulletin. 59 hnlf nbout July first. On still two other plats (IS' and 7') the uitroucn was supplied l).y dried blood, oiic-lmlf being applied before ]»l;iiitiii,i:\ with the phos]ihoric acid and potash, and the other linlf about July first. On two more ])lats (\'>^ and S') four- fiflhs of the nitrogen was fnrnishod by dried blood and one-fifth by nitrate of soda, and was all applied before jilanting, along with the ])hos])horie acid and i^otash. The total yields and increased yields over unfertilized jilats were quite uniform on the two fields in all the years and do not show any decided advantage of either nitrogen- furnisbirig material over the other or any one of the nietliods of ap- plication over the others. The average results gave a slightly larger ]n-ofit for nitrate of soda as the soni-ce of nitrogen, when two api)lica- tions of nitrogen were made, one-half just before planting and the other about duly first. Takin"- into consideration the additional cost of making the second application of nitrogen, the best returns have come from an applica- tion of all of the fertilizer in the drill before planting and having four-fifths of the nitrogen sujiplied as blood and one-fifth as nitrate of soda. The additional e.xpense of dividing the ap])lication of nitro- gen and api)lying one-half before planting and onedialf later is not justified by the e.xpcrimcnts. It is to be borne in mind that the soil on which these tests were made is a clay loam with a good clay sub- soil and the danger from loss by leaching is very slight, if any. It is quite clear from si.x years work on this soil with an a]i]-)lication of 300 pounds per acre that the most economical way of applying the fertilizer is to put it all in the drill before planting the crop. The results might be different on sandy loams or sandy soils. IREDELL TEST FARM; EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT METHODS AND TIME ICATION. IN 1903, '04. 'Oe, AND '08. Number of Plat.

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT METHODS AND TIME OF APPLICATION OF FERTILIZER. The results presented in Table VII were obtained from tests planned to show the effect on the yield of corn and stover from applying— (a) All the fertilizer in the drill before planting; (b) Dividing the fertilizer into two eqnal parts, applying one- half in the drill before planting, and the other half as a side dressing about July first ; and (c) From applying all the fertilizer broadcast before planting, the quantity of fertilizer and the materials entering into it being the same in all three cases. Taking the results as a whole, the increased yields and profits show that it has made very little difference whether all of the fer- tilizer was applied in the drill before planting, or whether it was divided into two equal parts and one-half put in the drill before planting and the other half as a side dressing around July first, ac- cording to season. The average yield and profit from the broadcast application of fertilizer were 22 per cent less than was produced by the same quantity of fertilizer when apjilied in either of the two wa^'s given above. The amount of fertilizer used in the test was 300 pounds, and it is quite clear that the best and most economical way of using this amount of fertilizer per acre is in the drill before planting the crop. Larger quantities might give as good or better results broadcast or when applied at different times, and' on a dif- ferent character of soil the results might be different. The Bulletin. 65 II. VARIETIES, CULTURE, AND FERTILIZATION OF CORN ON PIEDMONT RED CLAY LOAM, RED CLAY AND VALLEY SOILS. Experiments have been conducted for seven years with the varieties of corn on the red chiy loam soil of the Iredell Test Farm. These results have been civen in detail in this Bulletin. On basi8 of these results and other information which Ave have, the suggestions below are given for the culture and fertilization of corn on the red clay loams, red clays, and valley soils of the Piedmont and the varieties of corn which are best suited to them. Corn is an exhaustive crop on the soil, especially so when the stover is also removed. On basis of present prices of fertilizer one bushel of corn removes from the soil about 23 cents worth of plant food. It would cost this much to return the plant food in a bushel of corn to the soil in a commercial fertilizer. A fifty-bushel crop of corn has, therefore, removed plant food to the value of between $11.00 and $12.00. By good fertilization we have produced good yields, and increases over unfertilized areas have been obtained and at a cost of 22.4 cents per bushel, which is practically the same as the plant food in a bushel of corn. Preparation and Cultivation. — Corn delights in a thoronghly well prepared soil. The land should be broken in the fall or early spring to a depth of 6 or 8 inches and the soil may be gradually deepened beyond this to advantage. Before planting cut up the land with a disk harrow to get rid of clods and to make a good seed bed. 4 feet is a good width for rows. The distance the corn is left in the row would depend on the productiveness of the land and should vary, usually, between 15 and 30 inches. The fertilizer on these soils should, as a rule, be put in the drill before planting and the corn planted just below the level. Weeders and light harrows may be run across the rows two or three times before and after the corn is up and before cultivation with cultivators begins. Cultivate with good one or two-horse culti\'ators, which will not require more than two furrows at the greatest to the row, every ten days or two weeks, and as nearly as possible after rains to keep down grass and weeds and to conserve the supply of moisture. The cultivation should be comparatively deep early in the season, becoming shallow as the crop grows larger and its root system develops. It has been found de- sirable to continue the cultivation in this way until the corn is in silk and tassel, making the cultivation very shallow at last and going away some distance from the corn. Varieties. — In the seven years' work on the Iredell Farm a very large number of varieties of corn of practically all the types gen- 66 The Bulletin. erallj grown have been tested. Those giving the best results are the ones belonging to the prolific or two or more ears to-the-stalk kind. Among these, Weekley's Improved, Cocke's Prolific and Biggs' Seven-Ear have done specially well. The results of variety tests have been published each year in detail and the results are summarized in the February (1900) Bulletiiy. These results can be had for study by any one specially interested in them. Fertilization. — Analysis of these soils show that they are very low in phosphoric acid, high in potash, and have a fair supply of lime, the quantity of nitrogen depending on the amount of vegetable or organic matter in the soil. Experiments show that phosphoric acid is the most needed single constituent for the production of corn on these lands; nitrogen coming next and being very essential, while potash is of but little importance. It is likely not possible with present results to say just what is the best proportion of these con- stituents for most profitable returns, but it is certain that the fer- tilizer should carry a high percentage of phosphoric acid and nitro- gen, and a low percentage of potash. Indications are that a mixture containing 10 per cent available phosphoric acid, 5 per cent nitrogen and 1| per cent potash will give close to if not the best returns. Six per cent of nitrogen is not too much on lands which have been grown continuously, or practically so, in cotton, corn and small grain. Five per cent nitrogen is equal to 6.08 per cent ammonia. This mixture can be used at the rate of 300 to 500 pounds per acre with good returns and profits. Larger quantities can be used with good results, but the profits, on basis of fertilizer used, will not be proportionately so large. The nitrogen may be all derived from blood, tankage, cotton-seed meal or similar products, or in part from one or all of these and in part from nitrate of soda or sulphate or ammonia. Nitrate of soda may be used as the entire source of nitrogen when divided into two parts. Kainit, manure salt, sulphate or muriate of potash may furnish the potash, and acid phosphate the phosphoric acid. Three hundred pounds of the above mixture would contain thirty pounds of available phosphoric acid, 4^ pounds potash, and 15 pounds nitrogen ; and 500 pounds would contain 50 pounds available phos- phoric acid, 1\ pounds potash and 25 pounds nitrogen. The required amounts of phosphoric acid in 300 and 500 pounds respectively of this mixture would be supplied by 214.3 pounds and 357.1 pounds of 14 per cent acid phosphate; the nitrogen by 115.4 pounds and 192.3 pounds of 13 per cent dried blood, and the potash by 22.5 pounds and 37.5 pounds of manure salt. Other materials or other grades of these materials may be used, and it will not be difficult, knowing just what they contain, to use such quantities of them The Bulletin. 67 as may be necessary to furnish tbe desired quantities of plant food, having in mind that it is the specific number of pounds of phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash that is desired rather than a given weight of mixed fertilizer. It is not more, but perhaps less difficult to calculate the number of pounds of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash to be applied per acre to any given crop from materials which are to be had than to estimate the exact number of pounds of the materials to make a formula of a certain composition, as for example, in an 8-2-2 goods. The question of filler does not have to be considered in doing this, as is necessary in making a fertilizer formula in the usual way. When it is desired, for instance, to apply the equivalent of 500 pounds per acre of a fertilizer mixture containing 10 per cent avail- able phosphoric acid, 1| per cent potash, and 5 per cent nitrogen, or 50 pounds phosphoric acid, 7^ pounds potash and 25 pounds of nitrogen, it is only necessary to divide the number of pounds of plant food desired per acre (50, 7^ and 25) by the percentage composition of the materials to be used as follows : Number of Pounds of Plant Food per Acre Wanted. • Percentage Composition of the Materials to be Used. Number of Pounds of Fertilizer Materials per Acre to Apply. Phosphoric Acid_ 50 Lbs. Nitrogen 25 Lbs. Potash 7.5 Lbs. 14 Per Cent Acid Phosphate.. 13 Per Cent Dried Blood 20 Per Cent Manure Salt 357. 1 Pounds. 192.3 Pounds. 37. 5 Pounds. The best and most economical way to apply the fertilizer in the quantities recommended here is in the drill before planting, though there is no objection to dividing the application into two equal parts, putting one-half in the drill before planting and applying the other half as a side dressing around July first according to season and growth of crop. The fertilizer in the quantity here suggested should not be applied broadcast. TiiK Bulletin. GO TEST FARM BULLETINS. (Being Bulletins giving results of Experiments on the Test Farms.)

Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture. INSPECTION OF ILLUMINATING OILS. INTRODUCTION. The Division of Oil Inspection was organized by the Board of Agricnlture in Jnne, 1909, for the purpose of carrying out an act (eh. 554, Laws 1909) of the General Assembly providing for the inspection of illuminating oils and tluids. Owing to a restraining order of the United States Circuit Court the act was not in full effect until Oct. 20th, 1909. The only standards for illuminating oils in this State are the flash test and the distillation test for amount of residue. The latter test went into effect Sept. 1st, 1910, for oil brought into the State, and will be in effect for all oils after Dec. 1st, 1910. The results of inspection to Dec. 1st, 1909, were given in the De- cember Bulletin for 1909. CHANGES IN THE OIL TRADE. Since July 1st, 1909, the number of oil companies doing business in the State has greatly increased. Nineteen companies are now registered with the Department, and the price of oil to the retailer has dropped nearly three cents per gallon in consequence of com- petition. Under the State Anti-Trust Law, this drop in price ex- tends to points in the State where there is no direct competition. The production of petroleum, from which kerosene is distilled, has greatly increased in the middle West. In 1900 the Pennsyl- vania group of States produced 83 per cent of the petroleum in the United States. In 1908, the Pennsylvania group had dropped to 17 per cent, while California, Illinois and Oklahoma, which were practically unknown as oil producers in 1900, in 1908 produced 69 per cent of the petroleum. The petroleum and refined oil from the new fields is of different character from the oil from other fields. SAFETY. The flash test is a safety test. The present requirement of not less than 100 degrees Fahr. flash with the Elliott cup is the best test consistent with a high degree of safety and good illuminating quality. Under the strict enforcement of this provision of the law, the kerosene now sold in the State is reasonably safe under ordinary conditions of use. Care, however, should be exercised in its use as with other inflammable materials. The flash test has generally been met by the Oil Companies. This test went into effect Oct. 20ih, 1909, with the following result: 2 Oil The Bulletin. Samples tested. 267 810 493 Received. Before October 20, I'JOa From October 20, 1903, to February 10, 1910.

The requirement for quality of oils used for general illuminating purposes is "'not more than G per cent by weight of residue remain- ing undistilled at 570° Fahr." The enforcement of this standard will prevent the sale of most of the really bad oils. Rigid inspec- tion has already eliminated some of the lower grade oils. Consumers of oil and retailers should remember that there will continue to be various grades of oil sold by the same company. The highest grades are usually worth the extra cost. Numerous complaints had been made to this Department regard- ing inferior oils. Many of these complaints could be traced to the nature and care of the lamps used, and some to the careless handling of oils by wholesale and retail dealers. Others were found to be due to the methods of the manufacturer or refiner. In the laboratory of the Oil Division many samples have been distilled and the luminosity determined under similar conditions, using a No. 1 ''Model" burner with a flat wick (American). A comparison of 58 oils was made after classifying on the basis of 6 per cent residue: Kesidue at 570° F. Les.s I More than 6% i than 6% Number of oils tested Candle Power (after Vi hour) Candle Power (after 7H hours) Drop in Candle Power (per cent)- Viscosity (Engler-Ubbelohde) 20 7.91 7.10 10.2 1. II 38 7.62 6.23 IS. 6 1.17 Notwithstanding the fact that the initial candle power was 3.6 per cent less, and more oil was left in the lamp, the actual and per- centage drop was much greater for the high-residue oils. Of the 20 low-residue oils only one gave as much as 15 per cent drop. Of the 38 high-residue oils 58 per cent gave more than 15 per cent drop in the seven hours. The oil immediately above 570 degrees Fahr. is a thin lubricating oil unsuitable for burning in lamps of ordinary construction. The The Bulletin. 7 residue, and impurities associated with it, not only increase the viscosity but cause a cumuhitive cloojiing of the wick resulting in constantly decreasing luminosity. The residue increases the tend- ency to smoke and to deposit a crust of carbon. Subsequent use of a high grade oil with the same wick will be unsatisfactory. The residue test is intended to take the place of the old gravity test. With the recent development of new oil fields of varying char- acter, the gravity test is. now hardly applicable. The gravity and other physical characteristics of the crude petroleum and of the kerosene from the different fields vary widely. The 6 per cent residue standard will be easy to meet as the refiners can break the distillation readily at the necessary point, using the usual gravity control. Oils well within the residue limit may be examined by determining the viscosity. There is a close relation between the amount of heavy oils or residue and the viscosity. It is estimated that about 9 per cent of the oils sold in the State will be affected. Oils made of excessive amounts of "tops and bot- toms" will be excluded. The increased cost of the oil concerned will be less than |- cent per gallon. The price and quality of the better grades of oil will be unaffected. This increase is very small in comparison with the increase in quality, and in comparison with the freight on oils, which will average almost 3 cents per gallon through- out the State. Kerosene varies so widely in illuminating value and may be so deceptive in appearance that some definite regulation is necessary for the protection of the public. The standards should be so devised as to hamper the trade as little as possible and permit the sale of all reasonably high grade products. The ideal is a maximum of safety and protection for the consumer with a minimum of restriction to the trade. CARE OP LAMPS. Poor lights are often caused by the condition of lamps and wicks. The heavy oils which accumulate in the lamp should be thrown out every month and the lamp thoroughly cleaned. Do not put water into the lamp. The lamp should be filled and the charred portion of the wick re- moved each time before lighting. Use a wick of good quality such as American, Fletcher or Wood- berry wick. The wick is the vital part of the lamp. Neiv iricl's should he supplied every month or two. They should be dried before the fire and put into the oil while still warm. Used wicks should be similarly dried every two weeks. Wicks gradually clog. Clogged wicks make poor lights. Don't economize on wicks. They are cheaper than oil or eyesight. A smoky flame may be due to a cheap burner or an unsuitable 8 The Bulletin. chinmcy. Burner and chimney shonld he kept clean. Burners may be cleaned by boiling with water to which a little soda has been added. If these directions are followed, particularly those with regard to wicks, there will be less complaint of oil and lights. DEALER'S TANKS. Tanks should be cleared of dirt and trash at least twice each year. It is to the interest of the consumer, dealer and manufacturer to see that the dealer's tanks are kept clean. Kerosene dissolves various substances with which it comes into contact. These dissolved sub- stances clog the wick. The best oil, if exposed to the impurities so often found in tanks and barrels, will give an unsatisfactory light. Poor lights may often be traced to the lack of care in handling oil. Consumers should not patronize a dealer who sells dirty oil or keeps a filthy oil tank. FRAUDULENT POWDERS. The attention of the Department has been called to several "Anti- Explosion" and "Illuminating" Powders sold throughout the State by irresponsible agents. These powders do not increase either the safety or the illuminating value of the oil and may do positive harm by clogging the wick. QUALITY OF KEROSENE. In "judging the quality of a sample of kerosene of satisfactory flash point, the following facts should be considered: It should be water white in color and otherwise well refined. It should show a very large per cent of low boiling point oil, below 250° C. The distillate above 275" C. should be small. The residue at 300" C. (572° Fahr.) should usually be less than 5 per cent. The specific gravity should be below .810 (that is, above 43 de- grees Ban me). The viscosity should be less than I.IG. Photometric tests should show a steady flame of good quality and good illuminating power. The illuminating power of the best oils does not drop more than 12 per cent in a burning test of 6 to 8 hours. Jlie various tests should he taken together in order to get a fair estimate of the sample. The Bulletin. 9 METHODS OF ANALYSIS. The continuous distillation of 100 cc. of oil was carried out in an Engler flask electrically heated to give two drops of distillate per second. The flask was protected by asbestos and no correction was made for the thennonieter stem. Repeated comparisons have shown that the results are substantially the same as with the present legal method in which the temperature correction is required. The viscosity was taken at 08" F. with an Engler-Ubbelohde vis- cosimeter standai'dized by the German Rcichsanstalt. The photometric method was similar to that recommended by the International Committee. Glass lamps were used. The reservoirs were cylindrical with flat bottoms and held about 325 cc. The initial oil level was i> cm. below the top of the wick tube and the drop in oil level was usually about 40 mm. (1.6 in.) during the total burning period of 7} hours. A No. 1 ''Model" burner and Macbeth chimney No. 502 were used. New American wicks, recently dried for one hour at 110" C. were used each time. The lamps were al- lowed to stand over night after filling and trimming. The illuminating power was determined after burning ^ hour and again 7 hours later. During the first ^ hour after lighting the flames were turned up to the highest safe limit and were not again disturbed. The oil was kept at a constant temperature of 80" to 85" F. by immersing in running water. Usually about 40 cc. of oil remained in the lamp at the last measurement. The measurements were made with a Reichsanstalt photometer using a standardized Hefner lamp. The Hefner unit was taken as equal to .90 candle power and never varied more than 0.5 per cent on account of humidity. Each reading was made five times. Many of the photo- metric tests were made in duplicate. OILS TESTED. The oils analyzed were chosen on account of some special feature, such as marked color, high or low viscosity, high specific gravity, etc., or, as in a number of cases, simply to get a sample of as many brands as possible. Of the samples shown in the following tables, only 17 per cent of those passing the flash test gave any distillate below 150" C. vSeven oils gave less than 15 per cent distillate below 200" C: No. 987 (9.1 per cent) ; 1189 (6.1 per cent) ; 1396 (12.8 per cent^ ; 1766 (4.1 per cent); 1803 (12.3 per cent); 2161 (8.5 per cent); 2478 (0.5 per cent). Six others (Nos. 611, 1515, 1749, 1763, 1765 and 1975) gave from 15 per cent to 19 per cent distillate below 200" C. 10 The Bulletin.

During the Institute year from December 1st, 1009, to November 1st, 1010, there have been held 302 institutes under the direction of the State Department of Agriculture. Of this number 106 were regular Farmers Institutes for men, 173 were institutes for women. 17 orchard demonstration institutes, 5 corn institutes, and one three days' liouud-up Institute or Farmers' Convention. During the year institutes were held in 06 of the 08 counties in the State, Dare and Carteret only not having institutes. The growth of institutes in the State is shown in the follow ing table : 1808 — 28 institutes in 27 counties. 1003 — 17 institutes in 16 counties. 1004: — 58 institutes in 58 counties. 1905 — 70 institutes in 76 counties. 1006 — 136 institutes in 91 counties. 1007 — 169 institutes in 93 counties. 1908 — 234 institutes in 95 counties. 1909 — 247 institutes in 93 counties. 1910 — 392 institutes in 96 counties. There were applications for several more institutes, but they came largely from counties in which several had already been provided for. In addition to the above there have been two institutes held for colored farmers. Interest in institute work has been more manifest among the farmers this year than ever before. In our institute work the newspapers of the State have given to us unstinted co-operation and assistance, by announcing places and dates of the meetings, printing the programs in full and urging their readers to attend them. At each institute for men a premium of one dollar was offered for the best five ears of a pure bred corn and a like sum was offered at the women's institutes for the best loaf of bread baked and exhibited by a girl or woman living on the farm. Many of the newspapers of the State supplemented these premiums by giving a year's subscription to the man or woman exhibiting the best five ears of corn and the best loaf of bread at the institutes in their county. The Progressive Farmer made a special offer of a year's subscription to that paper to any girl or woman exhibiting the best plate of biscuits at any institute. It affords me pleasure to make this public acknowledgment of the unstinted helpfulness of the editors of the State press in this work. 8 The Bulletin. Lecturers and Subjects.

There are farmers' institute committees in all the counties in which institutes are held. These committees are very helpful in the work by suggesting places and subjects for the institutes, advertising the meetings in local papers, and otherwise. A live chairman with a good committee to assist him is necessary in every county -where an institute is to be held. I have found also that farmers' clubs, local alliances and local farmers unions can greatly assist in insti- tute work by co-operating with the institute committees and the direc- tor of farmers' institutes. I shall very much appreciate the co- operation of all such organizations. Chairmen of Local and County Farmers' Ijtstitute Committees. County. Chairman of Committee. Post-office.

There were more women's institutes held in the State during 1910 than were held in any two previous years since we began holding women's institutes. Our first women's institutes were held in 1906, when we held 21 institutes in 19 counties. In 1907 we held 50 in 38 counties; in 1908 G8 were held in 46 counties; in 1909 73 were held in 51 counties; and this vear we have held 173 in 84 counties. These institutes are held at the same places and on the same days the men's institutes are held, but in separate halls, except at a joint session, which is usually held during the day, when both men and women lecturers speak to the audience. Women's institutes are growing in attendance and appreciation as their work is better understood by the public. In this connection I wish to acknowledge mv indebtedness to the State Board of Health for literature and other courtesies extended to the women's institutes. The following is a partial list of the subjects discussed .it these institutes: What to Eat and How to Prepare It. Suggestions in Household Work. Friends and Foes of Housekeepers. The Influence of the Woman in the Home. Foods, Their Cooking and Use. Home Nursing. The Farm Fruit and Vegetable Garden. Farm Poultry. Butter-making on the Farm. Home Conveniences. Literature in the Home. Home Sanitation. Educating the Girls on the Farm. Hookworm. Preventable Diseases. Insect Pests, etc. TiiE Bulletin. 21 Women's Institutes, 1910. Date. County. Location.

DEMONSTRATION RAILWAY CARS. For the past two years the State Department of Agriculture lia- been operating demonstration trains for institute work. These trains have been generously furnished by the Seaboard Air Line and Southern Railways. During the past summer fifty of these demon- stration train institutes were held. The trains consisted of a pas- senger coach fitted up with an oil stove, kitchen cabinet, sink, ice box, together with cooking utensils of modern design, intended to lighten women's work in the kitchen, and a baggage or express car containing improved farm implements of various kinds. In the pas- senger coach the women held their meetings, delivered lectures and demonstrated the use of the various cooking utensils, served lunches, etc. A competent person was in charge of the implement car to give information and explain the workings of the various implements in the car. These implements were furnished by the following manufacturers and dealers, to whom I advise interested persons to write. I con- sider them perfectly reliable: Bateman Manufacturing Company, Grenloch, N. J. Agricul- tural Implements, Riding Cultivators, Garden Plows. Raney Canning Company, Chapel Hill, N. C.

What I shall say to you shall be in the rntiire of an appeal to you to co-operate witli every agency which lias for its purpose the uplift of farm life and the better- ment of farm homes. Among other things, I want to call your attention to better sanitary iuibits in all of our homes, especially in the homes of a great many people — both white and coioied — wlio are less fortunate than you are. The work of u|)!ifting tliis class shouhl naturally fall >ipon us — the women of the State — because we are the home-makers, and upon the lionu>-malle daintily served. After a child is 2V_. years old, stewed fruits should be freely used, especially apples, plums, figs and peaches. After .'5 '/j yeais, according to the child's power of digestion, the scraped pulp of a juicy rijie apple, fresh ripe strawberries, taken in moderation and results carefully watched; dates and figs are sometimes useful and safe in the diet. With all the other fruits, such as bananas, pears, peaches, grapes, it is best to wait until after the fifth year, unless these fruits are given under the direct supervision of tlie [ihysician. The principal tronble in the digestion of vegetables is due to imperfect cooking. They form a valuable addition to the diet, after 3 years, since they contain certain inorg:uiic salts extremely important in the developmetit f)f a healthy body. The absence of these s.-ilts in the diet is laigely responsible for the development of a common disease among children known as "rickets." Often this disease is sup- posed to be the cause of poor nutrition, when in reality it is the poor nutrition that has caused rickets. I'esides forming the tissues, these salts foinid in fruits and vegetables are important in forming teeth and bone. Ilie faim housewife knows that young chickens need mineral salts which she supplies in the form of oyster shells, egg shells, or lime, but frequently she does not observe that her children are poorly nourished and anemic for lack of this very same attention to their diet. We are told that it is not until the end of the twelfth year that the cartilage entering into the formation of bone has become converted into true bone tissue, which fact should show to mothers the importance of supplying foods containing the required salts not only during the nursery period, but all dtiring the school period. The Bulletin. 37 Onions are valuable in the dietary of tlie child over 3 years of age, always watching for individual peiuliarilii'S in ahility to digest this as well as otiier foods. The Krcneli consider a crcani soup of onion a great restorative in digestive troiii)le, and tiiis is jjerhaps the West form to serve onion in the n\irsery. Celery cream soup or the stewed tender hits may be served safely to the child of 2'/^ years. The tender raw tips are safely taken by the child over G. Dried peas soaked 24 hours and cooked very soft, then pressed through a sieve, are a whole- some addition to the diet of a child from 3 to 4 years. Green peas, however, young and tender, may be added to tlie dietary of a child of 2V2 years. Tomatoes are not peiniitted in the dietary of the child until after the fifth year. Beets also may be added to the list of vegetables of the child of 5. Corn for the nursery should always be served in the form of a eream soup, using only the tender inside part. This,* however, should not be served to a child under 3. The indigestible covering of the corn grain is the part that is irritating to the digestive organs of the young child. The potato is a salt-giving starch vegetable. It is about three-fourths water and the remaining quarter is nearly all starch. The fact that it takes 3V2 hours to digest boiled potatoes and 2 hours for those that are properly baked, will indicate what method is preferable for the nursery. Pota- toes of medium size should be baked from 30 to 45 minutes. When baked in this way they may be given occasionally with dish gravy from meats, such as roast beef, roast mutton, or broiled beefsteaks, or with salt and cream. Cream is much to be preferred to butter as a dressing for baked potatoes. A very common mis- take is to serve cream gravies with potatoes to children. These gravies are dif- ficult to digest and should not form an important part of the meal. Among the vegetables prohibited until after the tenth year are corn, cooked in the usual manner, lima beans, cabbage, coUards, eggplant. Among the prohibited list of raw vegetables are onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, celery. l^Fany causes of disordered digestion are entirely due to the lack of sufficient water. A baby should be olTered water six or seven times a day. For older children it should be remembered that water is needed according to the activity and bodily temperature. The greater the activity, the greater the need of water. We are told that a child weighing 40 poiuids should drink at least 20 ounces (11/4 pints) of water a day, and hot weather calls for more. Frequently one meets mothers who say: "But I don't need any rules for feed- ing my baby, he eats everything and is quite well." Dr. L. Emmett Holt says he has had quite a large experience with these children who "ate everything" and seemed to relish it, and has followed a number of them to their graves as the ultimate result of such unreasonable and inconsiderate practice. Still, I am convinced that many mothers would do better in this matter of diet, not only for the little ones but for the grown-ups as well, if simple, reliable facts were given them. THE BLOOD. MRS. W. N. HUTT. Possibly there is no one part of the human body so often spoken of as is the blood, nor is there any one part so little understood by the general public. We hear "her blood is thin," or "he is too full-blooded," or "she had blood-poisoning," or "there is bad blood between them," without ever realizing what it really means any more than if we said the sky is blue. When I say to the mothers "If you sleep with your windows open it will help you to have good, red blood," how many pause to consider for a moment what is the connection between blood and air? The blood is a red, opaque, salty fluid. It composes about 7% per cent of the weight of the body; thus a grow' man weighing 150 pounds has about G quarts of blood that weighs about twelve pounds. Just as the body is one, yet is composed of different substances, flesh, bone, 38 The Bulletin. blood, etc., 80 blood is made up of three things. The first is the liquid part called plasma. Tliis is a clear, pale yellow fluid. Tlien, like fish moving in a river, are red objects. These are the red corpuscles and they look something like tiny little pie pans thickened at the edges. Their important work in life is to carry the oxygen to all parts of the body. If we are looking for lessons there are two right here. One is that every one of God's creations has its work to do; and second, that He sometimes entrusts His most important work to the smallest and most inconspicuous workers. White corpuscles form a third substance in the blood. These look like little clear drops of apple jelly. The doctors were many hundreds of years in finding their reason for existence. They thought they must be the dead red corpuscles. Our Creator, however, knew, as we could not, what was their use. We did not yet realize that there was such an enemy to the human body as a germ. He knew and made provision for it. Deep down within the hollow of the bones is a safe birthplace for these white corpuscles. There they are protected, little affected by tlie thousand ills or disturbances of the flesh. They emerge from their safe abode ready for their own great life-work — that of defending the body from dis- ease, and this is how they do it: When a disease germ enters the body these white corpuscles, which do not con- fine tliemselves at all to the plasma, but wander where they will through the tissues of the body, approach the germ, and one of them attempts to surround and digest it. Meanwhile the germ is growing and it is a question as to which is the stronger, the corpuscle or the germ. If the germ be stronger and there are enough of them, disease will take place; if the white corpuscle be stronger, the body will never know how near it came to contagion. From all this it will be seen that when we take medicine "for our blood" we do not make more blood but increase the number of corpuscles in the amount which we already have. What was said of an egg ought to be said of the blood. It is "Nature's treasure house, wherein lies, Locked by angels' alchemy. Milk and hair and blood and bone." There was a time, not many years past, when we thought that since there is so much in the blood it would be an excellent thing for anaemic persons to drink it to become strong. That was, however, a mistake. As soon drink the whole river to obtain the fish, or to expect the spoon which carries the food to the mouth to be of nutritive value. The story of how the blood travels the body and what it does is one of the most interesting stories that could be read. It is sufficient to say here, however, that every time the heart beats, and it does so about seventy times a minute, it sends about half a tumbler full of blood out into the arteries through strong elastic tubes. Think of how much is sent out into the body in twenty -four hours! The heart is divided into two parts, each part of which is endowed with strong muscles that relax and contract. One-half of the heart becomes relaxed and filled with bright red blood. Suddenly the heart contracts and spurts this stream of pure clean blood out into the arteries to be distributed to all parts of the body. There it gives up to skin or bone or muscle or brain or liver its supply of oxygen and food material and takes instead worn-out dead cells and poisons. The blood that went bounding out bright red comes quietly back to the heart, a dark, purplish stream. There the other side of the heart relaxes, receives it, con- tracts and pumps it to the lungs where the oxygen of the air, purified by God's free gift of sunshine, is exchanged for the poison of the blood, carbon dioxide. Again the other side of the heart relaxes and the pure, health-giving blood fills it to be once more sent forth. It is as if our grocer's cart came to us ever so often filled with fine meat and bread and vegetables and went away laden with garbage to be by some miracle again suddenly changed into more fresh, nourishing provisions for the next day's supply. When a mother understands this she is not going to say: "I don't want to put my baby out on the porch to sleep; she likes the dim, closed room better." She may like the dimness, but the closed room is certainly not better for the little growing body, and the eyes can be easily shaded. The Bulletin. 39 The young woman who wishes a briplit, clear complexion nniat have ((ood, red blood. The l)Otter to obtain that, she siio\ild take vif,'oroiis exercise to make the heart send the blood coursing through her body, and great, deep breaths to put plenty of oxygen in it. If she does tliis there will be an indirect good aecom- plished, that is, her lungs will contain so few unused air cells that tuberculosis can not easily fasten its dreaded grip upon her. In the blood is a substance that coagulates, as we all know, when it touches the air. That is the body's method of cliecking bleeding. When a man has little of this substance in the blood he is called a '"bleeder" and sometimes loses large quantities of blood from very simple wounds. The thing to do, then, when a child comes in with a small cut, is to cleanse well the wound and let the blood form a hard surface and check its own flow. Above all things, do not use cob- webs or soot. They have clinging to them hundreds of germs, many of which may be harmful. These might be taken into the blood from the open wound, to appear again, perhaps weeks later, in the form of some unexpected disease. Malaria is a blood disease in that its evil effects are because of the destruction of the red corpuscles. Diphtheria owes a large proportion of its victories not to suffocation, but to the toxins which are produced by the germs and carried to the heart, kidneys or nervous system. Anti-toxin does not kill the germs, it destroys the poison and gives the defenders of the body time to work. Pneumonia seldom kills by the air sacks of the lungs becoming so filled that the patient can not breathe; nearly always it is because the heart is overburdened by the toxins that have been carried from the germ-laden lungs by the blood. Just as soon as boils appear many people will say: "Oh, my blood is out of order." Pimples, boils, carbuncles, and erysipelas are essentially skin diseases and caused by pus-forming bacteria lodging there. It is aflected by the blood only in that an impoverished condition of the blood means few white corpuscles and other auxiliary substances to fight the germs. Vaccination accomplishes its splendid results by leaving in the blood a sub- stance that will kill any stray smallpox germs that might get into the body. Hookworm, that disease wliose ravages are felt in every county of North Caro- line, is a blood, or rather, bloodless malady because the thousands of parasites living on the blood of the victim so deplete the blood that a scanty supply is left. Many more of our human ailments might be cited, -but enough has been said to convince you of the importance of keeping in the veins a good supply of rich blood. The three main ways of accomplishing this purpose are: Eat enough good, well-prepared food, protect the body from too sudden changes of temj)era- ture, and at all times breathe in plenty of fresh air— fill the lungs with it— take deep breaths of it and at night let its cooling breezes blow where they will through the sleeping chamber. There is a saying that blood is thicker than water, and it certainly is, for it not only binds relative to relative, but it adds childhood on to the years of babyhood, womanhood to girlhood, and to womanhood an old age ripe with the memory of a well-rounded life. HINTS OIV BREADS AND BREAD-MAKING. MISS LILLIE II. JAMI.SON. QUICK BREADS. In the making of breads I shall include the quick breads, built from the popover foundation, as well as the yeast breads. Bread is almost, yet not a perfect, food, as it is too low in proteid for the amount of carbo-hydrate, and it is almost lacking in fat. A normal appetite calls for butter to supply this deficiency. , , , , x,. x i, *. k To make breads wholesome and at the same time palatable, the starch must De thoroughly cooked (we have no digestion for raw starch) and we must avoid a heavy paste, because the digestive ferments can not break up a heavy mass and change it into the different stages of sugars. We use various methods for doing 40 The Bulletin. this. First, the popover, the thinnest of all the batters, is made light by steam and by the expansion of air; second, the nuilTin and waffle, heavier batters, are made light by incorporating air in the well-ljeaten egg, and also by baking powder or soda and sour milk. The last two generate a gas. Soft biscuit, a dough still heavier than the batters, is made light by baking powder or by soda and 80ur milk. The beaten biscuit has air folded in it by the beating. Yeast makes breads light by a gas generated by the growing of the yeast plant. The Fopover is made by beating the eggs togetlier, to this add milk and salt, pour slowly over the flour until well mixed. This thin batter, called a pour batter, is put into hot, greased popover irons or pans and baked in a quick, but not too hot, oven. The hot pan begins the i)aking of the crust or shell, and as it continues to harden by the heat, the air beaten into the popover expands and the great amount of liquid is converted into steam and swells and pops over the crust in trying to escape. It must be baked until light and dry, or it will fall. The Waffle is a heavier batter and needs not only tlie air beaten into the eggs, but it requires the baking powder in addition. In all quick batters where baking powder and well-beaten whites are used, the whites of eggs must be simply folded in at the last, that you may not break the bubbles of air and gas. Waffles should be served crisp and hot from the iron and never piled up together. The Muffin is practically the same batter as the waffle but baked in a different way. Muflins should be baked in an oven not too hot, or they will run to a peak in rising. The muflin should have the perfect ring or crack half way between the center and the edge, and should be perfectly browned and very light. Soft Buttermilk Biscuit — Three things are necessary in successfully making Boft biscuit (provided, of course, you have good nuiterial and proper propor- tions). The first is a very soft dough; second, it must be quickly handled (knead only enough to get in shape), and the third, a quick oven. If you will roll and cut your biscuit, they seem lighter. If j'ou bake them too quickly, they will be rough on the top and not well shaped; they will rise very high; the crumb will be whiter but not as sweet. If you like a thin rather than thick biscuit, let them slightly touch in the pan. To my way of thinking, the real Southern biscuit is the most wholesome of all the biscuits. They should be rolled about one-half inch in thickness and should slightly touch in the pan. Bake in the lower part of the oven until smooth on the top, then put on rack to brown above. You will have a biscuit thoroughly browned on both sides and with very little crumb. Biscuit baked in this way will be soft, thoroughly baked, yet not dried out, and very easily digested. A thick biscuit has too nuich. crumb to be eaten hot. It forms a paste wiiich can not be permeated by the digestive ferments. The brown crust is very digestible, in fact it is partly digested. The Soft Baking I'owder Biscuit is mixed and baked in the same way as the soft buttermilk biscuit. It lacks a certain ricliness and softness you find in the buttermilk biscuit. This is due to the action of the phosphate (a slight trace in nearly all baking powders) on the gluten in the Hour. Kneaded Baking Powder Biscucit — In the making of biscuit and bread of all kinds, if you wish a soft, flufVy bread, make a soft dough and do not knead; if you want a fine, even-grained bread, make a stiff dough and knead thoroughly. Many people prefer the smooth and close-grained baking powder biscuit. We use about the same proportions for all biscuit, except the milk. In the biscuit use less milk and knead the dough until smooth. Roll, cut, and prick with a fork. Bake as soft biscuit. Kneaded Butiermillc Biscuit — Use less milk than for the soft buttermilk bis- cuit and make in the same way as the kneaded baking powder biscuit. One word of caution about kneaded biscuit doughs: After you begin the kneading do not leave it until you have made out your biscuit. If you work your dough for a while, leave it and then go back to it, you will ahcags hace a tough dough. When you roll it out it draws back and in cooking language we say it is "tired." This does not hold true in yeast doughs. Beaten Biscuit — The old-fashioned beaten biscuit was beaten or pounded, but to save time, veiy good biscuits can be made by putting dough through a moat chopper. The break makes the ideal biscuit. A perfect beaten biscuit should be well browned on both sides, snow-white in the center, and have a crack around The Bulletin. 41 the side. Leave the oven door shut for five minutes when first put in the oven to let the biscuit rise and crack around the edge. Beaten biscuit sliould not touch in the pan. YEAST BREADS. Yeast is a microscopic plant, yet in a higher class than bacteria. It is a plant consisting of a single cell. For growth it requires food, moisture, warmth, and air. The Hour furnishes the food. Some of the starch in the flour is changed into a sugar by an en/ymn. The yeast in growing changes this sugar into alcohol and a gas (CO,). This gas in tryiiig to escape makes the bubbles or pores in the dough. In the process of baking the alcohol and gas are both driven off. The compressed yeast is about tlie best on the market, although it is not so convenient for country people. If you are near enough to a town to get it once a week or once in two weeks, it would save a great deal of trouble and cost as little as the liquid or dry yeast. It can be kept under water for a long time, two weeks or longer. Remove the tinfoil, put in a jar, cover with fresh water and keep in a cool place. The same rule for soft and stiff doughs is true also in the yeast breads. For a very soft, fluffy roll, make a very soft dough and handle as little as possible. If you would make yeast bread in a short time, increase the quantity of yeast and also make a very soft dough. In using a small quantity of yeast you have to wait for those plants to grow and make more plants and run the risk of bacteria getting in the dough and spoiling the flavor, but if in the beginning you add enough plants to make the whole quantity light, you will find that you will have a very palatable, sweet bread, without the yeasty taste so often in yeast breads. You will get a purer culture by doing this, as the companies who send out the yeast are better prepared to grow a pure culture and know more about yeasts than we do. Quick Rolls — In making the very soft rolls you can not shape them, as they will spread over the pan, but make two or three small rolls and put in a muffin ring and you will not only have a pretty roll but also a wholesome one, as it has crust on all sides. Do not let the dough get too warm. If set in warm water to rise you should be able to hold your hand in it, or if in the warming oven it must not be too warm to place the hand on it. Pocket-book I'olls must be made rather stiff, as it requires a stiff dough to keep them in shape while rising. This is a very wholesome roll. It has crust on all sides and should be baked to a rich brown. The packed roll, which has very little crust and is nearly all crumb, is very indigestible. Avoid them while hot. Plain Bread — The loaf bread can be made with or without lard as you like. It rises more quickly without, and many people prefer it. When the loaf is light and ready to put in the oven, briish over the top either with melted butter or with milk; this makes a rich-brown crust. Cut across the top about three gashes and it will be a better shape. This will prevent the loaf cracking on the sides. Bake in an increasing heat until brown, then bake more slowly. A loaf that is baked too quickly will not be as sweet. The well-baked loaf has a yellowish crumb and is very sweet, RECIPES. Popovers — 2 cups flour, 2 cups milk, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoonful salt. Mixing: Beat the eggs without separating, add milk and salt, pour slowly over the flour, stir- ring all the time; strain, pour in hot popover pans and bake in a moderate oven until light and dry. ilufftnft — 2 cups flour, 1 1-.3 cups milk, 1 tablespoonful lard or butter, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoonful salt, 2 tcaspoonfuls baking powder. Mixing: Boat the yelks until thick and light in color, add milk, flour and salt, melted butter or lard, then carefully mix in the baking powder and fold in the well-beaten whites. Bake in a model ate oven to a golden brown. Waffles — 2 cups flour, 1 1-3 cups milk (more if necessary), I egg, 1 tablespoonful melted butter, 2 tcaspoonfuls baking powder, 1 teaspoonful salt. Mixing: Same as muflins. Bake on a hot, greased waflle iron. Serve at once. Soft Buttermilk Biscuit — 2 cups flour, one-half to three-fourths cup buttermilk, one-half level teaspoonful soda. 1 teaspoonful baking powder (scant), 1 teaspoon- 42 The Bulletin. ful salt, 1 tablespoonful lard. Mixing: Sift flour, baking powder, soda, and salt together, rub in the lard with the tips of the fingers, then add nearly all the milk at once and stir with a spoon just enough to mix. When mixed, turn out on board and knead only enough to get it in shape. Roll, cut, and bake in a quick oven. Soft Baking Powder Biscuit — 2 cups flour, one-half to three-fourths cup milk, 1 tablespoonful lard, 1% teaspoonfuls baking powder, 1 teaspoonful salt. Mix- ing: Same as .soft buttermilk biscuit. Kneaded Butternnlk Biscuit — 2 cups flour, one-half cup buttermilk or enough to make a firm dough, 1 tablespoonful lard, one-half level teaspoonful soda, 1 tea- spoonful salt. Mixing: Make as other biscuit, knead until smooth, prick with a fork and bake as soft biscuit. Kneaded Baking Powder Biscuit — 2 cups flour, one-half cup milk or enough to make a firm dough, 1 tablespoonful lard, 1% teaspoonfuls baking powder, 1 tea- spoonful salt. Mixing: Same as kneaded buttermilk biscuit. Beaten Biscuit — 2 cups flour, one-half cup ice water and milk, or enough to make a very stiff dough, 1 tablespoonful lard, 1 teaspoonful salt. Mixing: Make a very stiff" dough, knead until smooth, then beat until white and full of air bub- bles. EoU, cut with a very small cutter, prick with fork and put in pan. They should not touch. Bake in a hot oven until well done. Quick Rolls — 2 cups flour, three-fourths cup milk, 1 yeast cake or one-fourth cup of liquid yeast, 1 teaspoonful sugar, 1 teaspoonful salt, 1 teaspoonful butter. Mixing: To the lukewarm milk add the dissolved yeast, sugar, salt, and butter; when well mixed add the flour. Beat just enough to mix, set in a warm place to rise; when light make out in rolls, brush with melted butter and put in muffin rings. Let rise the second time and bake quickly, as they rise so rapidly they will soon be too light and coarse-grained. Pocket-hook Rolls — 2 cups flour, one-half cup milk or more, or one-fourth cup yeast, 1 tablespoonful lard, 1 tablespoonful sugar, one-fourth to one-half yeast cake, 1 teaspoonful salt. Mixing: Scald the milk, when lukewarm add dissolved yeast and sugar; beat in enough flour to make a drop batter, set in a warm place to rise; when light add salt, lard and enough flour to make a firm dough; knead thoroughly, set to rise; when light pinch off in rolls without breaking the bub- bles; roll or press down the center of the roll, brush with melted butter, put in a greased pan some distance apart, set again to rise; when very light, more than double in size, bake in a moderate oven. Bake to a very rich brown. This dough can be kneaded just before it is made into rolls and it will be finer-grained, and the rolls will puff apart more, but it is not as wholesome as the first way. You can roll and cut with a biscuit cutter and fold, but they are not as pretty and you break up some of the gas bubbles. Plain Bread — 1 quart flour, 1 cup milk or water, 1 tablespoonful sugar, 1 tea- spoonful salt, one-half to one yeast cake or one-half cup yeast. Mixing: Make as pocket-book rolls, when light mould and brush over the top with lard or melted butter, let stand until double its size, make three cuts over the top, brush again with butter and bake in a moderate oven. Bake in an increasing heat until brown, then bake more slowly. Liquid Yeast — 1 quart water, 3 large potatoes, bunch of hops (tied in cloth), one-fourth cup salt, one-half cup sugar, one-half cup old yeast. Mixing: Put the hops and potatoes in the water and boil until, the potatoes can be mashed. To the mashed potatoes add the water, sugar, salt, and when cool, the old yeast. Keep in a cool place. It is ready for use as soon as it ferments well. THE COUNTRY SCHOOLS. EDNA REINHARDT. We are hearing, nowadays, a great cry for reforms in the country schools. Newspapers and educational journals devote columns to the discussion of school work in rural districts. "Industrial training for country children" — agriculture The Bulletin. 43 for the boys and domestic aciencc for the girls — is the cry that the educational leaders are sounding in the ears of the country sclioolteachers. '1 lie land is waking to tiie fact that the country school does little for the bing-stone, for many, to more lucrative positions. We have numbers of boys teaching in order that' they may attend a business college and then swell the already°overcrovvded list of sales'men. Girls teach whose one desire is a sununer outing. In one county in North Carolina one hundred and twenty-five teachers attended the County 'Teachers' Institute this sununer. One hundred of these were inexperienced and less than six had college training. 1 was told, too, that only five first-grade certificates were issued in that county last year. Truly, only the" "nubbins of education" are fed to the great majority of country children — and it is the fault of the parents. Wlien the parents become interested enough to demand better teachers they will get them. So long as the parents are so indif- ferent to the progress of their children as to allow them to be imposed upon by poor teachers our State will not make the advance we are hoping for. We must have better teachers. When a clean, comfortable house and a good teacher are provided it next be- comes the duty, or privilege, of the farmers to see that their children are in school every day. How often do you hear a farmer say: "Well, I'll not send my children the first week or two. I've got a few odd jobs I want to finish up"; or, wlien a child has been forced to lose a day: "My boy couldn't go on Tuesday; I'll just keep him at home this week and start him in fresh next Monday." We country school-teachers waste fully one-half of our time in school on account of poor attendance. With five or six grades it is no easy matter to teach the child who comes a day and misses a day. The best teacher in the land can not teach a child unless he is at school. Our poor attendance is largely due, I believe, to pure and simple carelessness on the part of the parents. Another problem confronts the country school — the course of study. It is the boast of many rural schools tiiat they pVepare children for college. So often we hear this remark: Oh, yes! We have a good school here. We prepare our boys and girls for college." Yet less than ten country children in the hundred ever go to college. What is the country school doing for the ninety or ninety-five who stay at home? Beyond the rudiments of education does it in any way pre- pare them for their woik? If the object of the school is to prepare for life, is not the country school missing its aim when it fails to give agriculture and domestic science a place in its course? I am not going into a lengthy discussion as to which gives the most culture, knowing how to take a Latin word of three letters and twist it into one hundred and fifty different forms, or knowing how to take a grain of corn and raise three ears, twelve inches long. I do not want to discredit the study of the classics, but I want to emphasize the importance of studying agriculture and household economics. Remember that ninety out of every hundred country children are going to the country school only, and they are going to be farmers and home-makers. I believe in higher education with all my heart, but I fail to find the "fitness of things" when I see country girls— girls who are going to be farmers' wives — struggling with algebra and bank discount when they know nothing of cooking and sewing. Farm boys are spending days in the study of the same and like topics, when they will never have a bank account unless they are taught to farm better than their fathers are doing. We have in our public schools girls studying ratio and proportion. To judge by the biscuits they make we are forced to believe that they know nothing about what proportion of soda to use. Out of twenty-five grown girls in one country school last year only one could cut out and make a shirt waist. Three could fry meat and make soggv biscuit. Not one knew the first thing about the nutritive value of foods. YetTln a few years these girls will be the housekeepers of that neighborhood.

These results show, among other things: (1) That it pavs better, from the standpoint of fertilizer, to fertilize poor or less productive land than it does rich or more productive land. The average yield of seed cotton per acre on the Iredell farm on the plats not fertilized was 176.6 pounds per acre, or .12 of a bale. This is poor land. The fertilizer used on this land gave an average profit for all the quantities used of $5.03 per 100 pounds, after paying for the fertilizer itself. Two pieces of land were used on the Ed^ecome farm in rotation, one being about three times as productive natu- rally as the other. On the poorer land the profit per 100 pounds of fertilizer, as an average of all the quantities used, was $4.93 per 100 pounds, and on the better land $1.44 per 100 pounds, the latter being less than one-third of the profit on the poorer land. When the quantity of fertilizer reached 1,000 pounds, the yield on the two fields was practically the same, and were not far apart with 800 56 The Bulletin. pounds of fertilizer.

It will, 1 tliink, be dilTicult to find a farm operation which will yield a higher profit than this shows for cotton. It is a case where after eating the cake more than four cakes have been left or produced; after paying for the fertilizer itself, more than four dollars profit have resulted for each dollar ex- pended, and we know now that tiie fertilizer used, wliich we had to assume at the beginning of the e.vperimcnts, was not the kind which would produce most profitable returns. What this fertilization should be for the most profitable pro- duction of cotton and tlie betterment of the land in the two sections of the State, are the siibjects of Bulletins now being printed and soon to go out. (2) The soils on which these experiments were conducted are not much, if any, better than the average cotton lands of the State, unless it l)e one of the fields on the Edgecoml)e farm, where there is perhaps a better subsoil than the average eastern lands have, but the second field on this farm has only an average subsoil. At any rate, there is an abundance of land as good and better than these in the State for growing our cotton crop. The average yield of cotton on all the fields in seven and five years respectively was: Without fertilizer 325 of a bale. With 400 pounds 72.5 of a bale. With (iOO pounds 80.5 of a bale. With 800 pounds 910 of a bale. With 1000 pounds 985 of a bale, or almost one bale per acre. The average yield of cotton in the State last year was 228 pounds of lime, or .456 of a bale per acre. By using 800 pounds of fertilizer per acre, on basis of our tests, this yield could be doubled, or else produced on one-half the area of fairly good cotton land, as labor and trade conditions might direct. It is true that the land on which our work was conducted had good preparation and culti- vation, good seed and good fertilization, but not as economical fertilization as we are and shall use in the future on our general crop of cotton. It is seen, however, that preparation, cultivation and seed will not take the place of needed plant food. (3) In 1009 there were 1,359,000 acres devoted to cotton production in North Carolina. It is not known how much fertilizer was used as an average per acre, but I estimate 200 to 300 pounds. If 400 pounds per acre were applied it means that 53 per cent of the total fertilizer used in the State was for cotton. If 300 pounds, 39.8 per cent; if 200 pounds, 2C,\(, per cent. If 400 pounds of fertilizer per acre were used it means that 271,800 tons were applied to cotton, and if the profits obtained were as large as those obtained in our experiments in the Pied- TjiK Bulletin. 57 mont and eastern parts of the State, the increase in the yield of cotton not only paid for the fertilizer used on the cotton itself, hut iilso overjuiid for the re niaiiider of the fertilizer sold in the State for that year and iihc.I on all cropM; but this shovvinji; iMi<,'lit. and we believe wonld, have Im-cp vastly better had heavier and better suited fertilization been followed. It retton obtained in 190!) on one-half the area, and the land would have been left in better condition because of its better fertilization, as I will show later. As it was, 20 to 25 per cent of the value of the cotton crop in 1!)0!) paid the State's entire fertilizer bill. Unfortunately no such profits come from the fertilization of corn, tlie grains and hay as from cotton. Cowpeas give large returns from proper fertilization, but not nearly so large as cotton, and each of these crops must be considered separately and in connection with our dillerent type soils if we are to fertilize in the best way for obtaining most profitable returns, as well as for the improvement of the soil. (4) Our tests have not been running long enough to enable us to speak with the definiteness with which we would like, but they indicated quite clearly that where 200 and 400 pounds of fertilizer respectively have been used per acre that the land has lost in productiveness and has not given the yields in later years that it did in the first ones. Where GOO pounds per acre was applied the land has barely, if it really has, held its own; while with 800 and 1,000 pounds re- spectively, per acre, there seems to have been a gain in productiveness. Except phosphoric acid, 200 and 400 pounds of the fertilizer used did not supply as much plant food as was removed in a bale of cott(m, which was close to the average yield in all of the experiments; 800 and 1,000 pounds supplied a considerable excess of both phosphoric acid and potash, but there was still a shortage in nitrogen for one bale, even with 1,000 pounds. One thousand four hundred pounds of seed cotton, with 3.5.7 per cent lint, would yield 900 pounds of seed and 500 pounds of lint; the lint and seed would contain in round nundiers 30 pounds nitrogen, 12 pounds phosphoric acid, 13 pounds potash and 3.2 pounds lime. Only about fifty cents worth of these ferti- lizer constituents are carried away in the 500 pounds of lint; under conditions prevailing last j'ear the seed can be sold for enough to purchase 100 per cent more fertilizer constituents than are removed by the seed and lint. Nine hundred pounds of cotton seed at present prices for fertilizer constituents are worth $7.18 as fertilizer; 900 pounds of seed at 45 cents per bushel would bring $13.50, and at 50 cents, $15. which is more than double the fertilizing value of the seed. In other words, the seed can be sold for fifty cents per bu.-hel, and twice the quantity of fertilizer constituents which they contain can be purchased in other materials for what tiiey bring. P'or the red clay and red clay loam soils we recommand a fertilizer which will contain 10 per cent phosphoric acid and 2 per cent each of nitrogen and potash. The materials for making this fertilizer can be purchased for about $10. For the sandy loam soils of the eastern part of the State we recommend a fertilizer con- taining 7 per cent phosphoric acid, 3 per cent potash and 31/.. per cent nitrogen. The materials for making 1,000 pounds of this fertilizer can be purchased for $12. It is thus seen that the seed from a bale of cotton can be sold for more than enough to nuike a 1,000-pound application of good fertilizer per acre. The balance of trade, so to speak, is seen now to be in favor of the cotton farm. Every advantage possible should be taken of this. For years live stock farms have helped deplete Southern cotton farms of their fertility. Unfortunately 58 The Bulletin. it has not been the Southern cotton farmers' live stock but those of a few near-by neighbors and a preat many far-off ones. Old Enjiland and the Continent, New England and the live stock States of the Middle West have obtained larfje amounts of plant food from our cotton soils, and much of the time at prices which would not return to the soil the amount of plant food material contained in other fertilizers and fertilizer materials purchased for use on the land. Conditions have now changed. Blood, bone and tankage are now coming back to us from the live stock centers at less prices for the plant food they contain than those commanded by like amounts of plant food in cotton seed and cotton seed meal, and the cotton farmer has his opportunity. If he will sell his cotton seed and buy its value in the right kind of fertilizer constituents for his cotton crop and his soil, protect the soil from washing, and leave the roots, stems, bolls and leaves on the soil, it will not be many years before it will be producing one and one-half (l^^) to two (2) bales of cotton per acre, if exhaustive crops are not grown in rotation with it. If a crop of peas or other soil-improver is grown every third or fourth year and left on the land this high state of productiveness will be reached much sooner. Corn, which draws much more heavily on the land than cotton, has been grown between the crops of cotton in the work, the results of which have been made the basis of this discussion, and but for this it is likely that a moie favorable showing would have been made. Vegetable matter is of great importance in growing cotton, but little credit is and has been given to the vegetable material which comes from the cotton crop. The roots, stems, bolls and leaves corresponding to 500 pounds of lint cotton are around 3,145 pounds, or more than l^b tons, containing — 67.7 pounds of nitrogen, 26.5 pounds of phosphoric acid, 50.3 pounds of potash, 59.3 pounds of lime, or the equivalent of five tons of good manure. These alone add largely to the humus supply of the soil, and' if the 900 pounds of seed, corresponding to 500 pounds of liiit, and which are the equivalent of two or three tons more of good manure, from the standpoint of the fertilizer constituents which they contain, are returned to the land themselves, there is added to the soil each year over two tons of vegetable matter per acre, yielding one bale of cotton to the acre. If these seed are used as they should be in purchasing 100 per cent more than their worth in other fertilizer constituents, we have emphasized in the most emphatic way the cotton farmers' opportunity for producing larger and more profitable yields of cotton each year, and at the same time adding not only to the productiveness of the soil, but to its permanent store of plant food. HOME-MIXED FERTILIZERS. T. FRANK PARKER. Before taking up the discussion of fertilizers proper, perhaps it will be well to sav something as to why we use them. I dare to say that many farmers are not sufficiently acquainted with the elements of plant food in fertilizers to know what they are getting when they buy it. It is well for us to remember that less than ten per cent of the weight of our crops comes from the soil proper, the rest coming from the air and water. This may be shown if a log which requires a heavy team to haul is burned, we can easily carry away the ashes in a basket without elfort, and the ashes contain the elements of plant food that come from the soil proper. Therefore, we find that in the case of trees only a small per cent is mineral or ash matter. Likewise the mineral plant food that comes from the soil in producing ten tons or two hundred crates of cabbage, \Vould be only about two hundred pounds. So we find that soil plant food does little more than to act as the skeleton, or enough to hold the plant upright. The Bulletin. 59 Soil is the mixture of disintegrated rocks and rotten vegetable matter. It is the great gravevard of nature, to which all things must return, and yet from which springs forth again tiie food of all vc'getal>le and animal life. It might be of interest to know how these elements are lil)erated or supplied to the soil, but that is another subject; so sullice it to say that the order in creation is,' that the rocks supply the minerals; plants feed on these minerals; animals feed on the plants; while omnivorous man, lord of all, feeds on both animals and plants. With these forewords it is hoped that we may better understand 'the more im- porta'nt matter which follows: There are fifteen elements which are found in the composition of plants, and ten that are essential for tlieir proper growth. But it has been found, after years of experience, that the soil contains a sufiicient supply of seven of these, that are available to plants, which leaves only three about which we farmers should be concerned, and should be much concerned about, too, for on these the plant is dependent for growth and fruit. These three plant foods are phosphorus, nitro- gen, and potassium. Some claim that lime is needed, but experience indicates that it acts on the soil rather than by supplying a plant food. Yet on some soils an application has proven to be profitable. We know that some soils have sufhcient amounts of one or more of these ele- ments that are available for the plants to utilize, consequently it would be waste of time and money to supply more of these to such soils. But there are few lands that will not be benefited by at least a small application of each of these three elements. But to find out the needs of your soils in this respect you need to test your land yourself with the difTerent fertilizers. You may then judge from the growth and yield of the various plats as to the needs of your soil. But do not fall into the mistake that what one field needs all need, because any one knows that a single field often has several types of soils in it, and so for best results each type should be tested as above mentioned. Ist row, no fertilizer --- 2nd and 3rd, Phosphoric Acid 4th row, no fertihzer - 5th and 6th, Phosphoric and Nitrogen 7th row, no fertilizer --- - 8th and 9th, Nitrogen ,--- -- 10th row, no fertilizer -- 11th and 12th, Nitrogen and Potash 13th row, no fertilizer _ - 14th and 15th, Potash 16th row, no fertilizer - 17th and 18th, Phosphoric Acid and Potash - 19th row, no fertilizer 20th and 2l3t, Phosphoric Acid, Nitrogen and Potash. Phosphoric Acid. Phosphoric Acid and Nitrogen. Nitrogen. JPotash and Nitrogen. Potash. Phosphoric Acid and Potash. Phosphoric, Nitrogen and Potash. This experiment may be duplicated by using each element in varying quantities. The rows giving best crop returns will show what fertilizers the soils need and which it will pay best to use. Tlie soil should be about the same in all of these plats, so as to give uniform results. It is generally known that phosphoric acid is the only form in which phosphorus is available to plants as a food. And potash is the common name given to the forms of potassium that are available to plants. 60 The Bulletin. Let U9 consider barn manure in comparison with commercial fertilizers. One importiint dillerence is tliiit commercial fertilizers as a rule come from mineral origin, tliat is, they are mined from the earth, while barn manure is the decom- post'd vciietahie niiilter. Tiiis dillerence. tiien, would indicate that commercial fertilizers (commonly called) contain little or no humus, excejiting those that get nitrogen from organic matter, consequently would not improve the physical condi- tion of the soil like stable manure would. While on the other hand commercial fertilizers are more concentrated, and are preferable for that reason. Live stock take out nhnut one-fourth of tlie elements of plant food composing the average feed stulTs, therefore tliiee-fourths is returned to the soil in a state of decoftiposi- tion. The essential dillerence, then, between these two forms of fertilizers is that one contains more water and waste but more valuable humus, while the other is more concentrated in mineral f)lant food with comparatively no humus. One tends more to build up the land for future crops, while the other gives immediate results. But as my subject is intended more for the mixing of commercial fertilizer? than abo\it i)arn maiuires, I shall leave this imi)ortant subject for others to dis- cuss. Sullice it to say that where the best agricultural prosperity reigns, there one- will always find live stock. Another mode of fertilizing the soil that is very important is the growing of legumes. l\v doing tliis the expensive bills for nitrogen may be partially or entirely done away with and the physical condition of the soil improved at the same time; for these crops not only supply nitrogen but also humus to the soil. We find that in the same way that animals and plants must be fed well to give us good service, likewise our soils must be treated for good returns. Yes, we must feed the soil and not always expect the feeding to go in one direction. Treat our fields like our work stock, in the sense that they must be fed for good service, and we will find this the most profitable investment a farmer can make. We nuist spend our energy and money in improving our poor soils if we expect the increase to be many fold. Let us consider the>e plant foods that are usually lacking in the soil. These three elements are deficient largely because they are drawn on more heavily by the crops than any others, and this being the case, we should know them better. Phosphorus (better known to the farmer as phosphoric acid because it is avail- able to the plant in this form only) hastens the maturing of the crop as well as increases the yield. Kitrogen causes a heavy growth of the plant, giving it the rich, dark-green color and heavy stalk. Sometimes this is at the expense of the yield. Potassium increases the yield, but has a tendency to retard the maturing of the crop. Whenever a heavy, green growth but poor yield is found, one may reasonably assume that pliospliorus and potash are lacking. If the maturing of the crop is slow, that likely indicates a lack of plinsphorus. If there is a tendency for heavy yield but a small body and growth with perhaps a sickly color, nitrogen is prob- ably lacking. As was stated before, the best way to know about the needs of our soils is to experiment ourselves. Oftentimes farmers are fooled in buying fertilizers. For instance, Mr. Farmer comes into town and asks his dealer for prices on corn fertilizers. He is given several higli-snnmling names that really have no meaning. After studious con- sideration he selects the one with the price that s\iits rather than the one con- taining the greatest food value. Pay no attention to the name but to the analysis. It is full time for us to know why and how fertilizers are prepared, and this known we will become more interested in them and realize that by buying the separate inL'redients and mixing them at home we may not only prepare any desired analysis but as many and as much of each as is desired. This work may be done rainy or otherwise disagreeable weather when little other work would be done. This will mean a great saving of time and mojiey. I^et us consider the advisability of buying ready mixed fertilizers or mixing them ourselves. For illustration we will use the ordinary 8-2-2 grade. There may be some who do not fully understand the meaning of these figures. Tlie first one indicates the The Bulletin. 61 per cent of available phosphoric acid, the second and third the same of nitrogen and potash, tlint is containod in the mixture. The second or nitrojrcn fij^Mire often causes confusion, but tlie laws of our State require tliat tlie nitroiicn erjuiva- lent be included with the analysis. For instance, in most of the ordinary 8-2-2 goods the nitroeen is not two, but only l.G."), per cent; the two in this case would mean ammonia instead of nitrogen. U'e should speak of the nitrogen percentage ratlier than of tlie ammonia, for the plant does not feed on ammonia Imt in some otiier form. Uhe relation of nitrogen to ammonia is 14-17, or by adding 1-.5 of the nitrogen content to itself for ammonia and by subtracting 1-G from ammonia for the nitrogen ecpiivalent. For an exam[)le the following ingredients, subject to varying prices at the different markets, may be used to work up a fertilizer: 16 % Phosphoric Acid @ $15.00 per ton. 15.5% (N) Nitrate of Soda @ 50.00 per ton. U % (N) Blood - --- @ 60.00 per ton. 60 % Muriate of Potash @ 40.00 per ton. For the 8-2-2 we have 8-2-2 lbs. in 100 of the mixture available. 20 lGO-40-40 lbs. in one ton of the mixture. If we need 100 pounds of phosphoric acid to be gotten from the IG per cent goods it will take as many pounds as .10 (per cent) is contained into IGO which will give 1,000 pounds. Likewise with the nitrogen needed, only in this case it is advisable to use ingredients tliat become available to the plant as it is needed. For this purpose we use both quickly available and less readily available mate- rials. In the example given we divide the 40 pounds needed between soda and blood using 20 of each. Continuing this plan we have the following: 1,000 pounds 16 % Acid Phosphate=I60 pounds Phosphoric Acid. @ $ 0.75 = $ 7.50 130 pounds 15. 5% Nitrate Soda = 20 pounds Nitrogen @ 2.50= 3.25 140 pounds 14 % Blood = 20 pounds Nitrogen @ 3.00= 4.20 80 pounds 50 9o Muriate of Potash = 40 pounds Potash.. _ @ 2.00= 1.60 1, 350 pounds mixed on the farm. Cost $16.55 2, 000 pounds mixed at the factory. Average cost 21.00 650 pounds difference (filler). DifTerence in cost $ 4.45 As will be seen in the above, tliere are 0.5U pounds ot tiller winch has no ler tilizing value and is only for additional weiglit. Use no filler in home mixed goods. For instance, in the above fertilizer we would use 1,."5.")0 pounds instead of a ton, or we would use 2-3 of the weight of the home mixed goods that we wo)ild of the connuercial goods of tlie same analysis. Besides the cost and weight saved, there are other things to be considered. Extra sacks must be paid for to hold this filler, the freight must be paid on it, the factory has to buy it, and of course the farmer must pay for it; it nuist be hauled oftentimes considerable distances, which requires extra eiTort, expense, and time. It is a feature of business principles tliat when any appreciable amount of money is saved in a jjurchase it is equivalent to that much made. The farmers who realize this principle and practice it are tlie ones who are becom- ing leaders in the farming world. Whv do the best farmers house and care for their working machinery and tools, use plenty of oil on them when at work, and save feed by careful feeding, etc.? It is because it saves expenses. It is money made. It pays to use high-grade fertilizers, it pays to know fertilizers, it pays to know the needs of soils and plants. It pays for all of us farmers to take the farm papers and to study others' experiences and to take some of their sugges- tions into our own operations. There are many books bearing on this subject that are of great value to farmers. It will pay to procure some of these and study them. 62 The Bulletin. PREPARATION OF THE SOIL AND PRODUCTION OF CORN. A. CANNON. The essential points of corn production are the thorough preparation of the soil, cultivation and proper selection of seed. All lands should have plenty of humus or vegetable matter when planted in corn, and that humus should be from barnvard manure and leguminous crops, such as clover, peas, vetch and soy beans,' these furnishing a large amount of nitrogen from the air, saving the farmer to a large extent from buying the most costly ingredients of all fertilizers. While the leguminous plants are great aids in bringing up the soil and holding its fertility, there is nothing that will excel the old stable manure, which supplies the humus and the other fertilizer ingredients and lasts longer. By using the stable manure on the intensive system, and using the leguminous crops as a cover crop during the winter, sowing them when the corn crop is laid by, we can double and triple the crops, and by proper rotation keep the land in a high state of productiveness. In a personal experiment made upon my own farm in 1897 upon the above plan I had six acres of upland I planted in corn in 1895, and only made twelve bushels per acre. In 1897 I plowed the land ten to eleven inches deep, tlien broadcasted twenty two-horse wagon loads of manure per acre in April and harrowed thoroughly with a disk harrow, and at gathering time harvested sixty-four bushels per acre of fine merchantable corn. That lan^d to-day is in fine condition and will yield from seventy to seventy-five bushels of corn per acre, with a very small amount of manure applied since the first application. After the soil has a good supply of humus it should be plowed as deep as possible, not less than ten inches, and if possible fifteen inches, in late winter or early spring. All lands should have a cover crop during the winter for the reason that the nitrogen escapes from the soil and the soil deterio- rates in productiveness. By deep plowing the top soil is mixed with the subsoil, and you increase the productiveness by deeper soil from year to year, and increase contfnually the yield of the land. The rains which follow the deep plowing will be retained to a large extent, protecting the land from washing and also supplying moisture in a dry season.- As soon as possible after land is plowed it should be thoroughly harrowed with a good harrow, such as a disk, so as to prevent drying out and leaving the land cloddy. The best on red clay soil would be to harrow in the evening the land broken in the early part of the day. The farm lands of North Carolina in their virgin state were well supplied with humus and potash and produced fine crops. The farmer now must supply what nature originally supplied. Our grandfathers received the cream and left us the whej'. The cultivation of corn should receive the undivided attention from planting to laying by. After planting a weeder or small drag harrow should be run over the land — keeping the land in a loose, pulverized state. This plan should be carried out with the weeder after the young corn is from five to eight inches high, killing all the young grass and weeds and keeping the top soil in a pulver- ized condition. After the corn has grown higher use the plow by shallow plowing. No plow should be allowed to go over four inches deep during the cultivation of corn, for the reason that the young roots running out from the stalk have a depth of from five to six inches and extend across the row. If these roots are broken it injures the growth. All the main leading roots have a large number of small fibers or feeders absorbing the fertilizer ingredients from the soil. This plan of cultivation I have adopted for years, and the results have proven to me the wise one to use in corn cultivation. If you expect to reap a full harvest all corn should be cultivated level. The selection of seed is an important matter that all farmers should consider. He should have his mind made up as to the kind of corn he wants, whether large, medium or small cob, grain deep with large heart of the Dent variety, or large glazed grain with medium heart, a red or white cob, then take the most perfect ear that you can find. Go through the field and make your selection to corre- spond to the one selected; when you find one that corresponds to the type chosen The Bulletin. 63 tie a string around it or mark it in some way so you will not loose the ear. Do not pull any fodder from tlio oliosen stalk as you want as well-matured seed as possible. If you are not satisfied with your selection when huskinj^ time comes, make another seleetinn for the same type as you did in the field, selecting twice the amount you expect to plant, and from that select your seed for the coming crop. If you want a pure white corn select the seed with a white cob as corn with a red cob has not the white cast the white cob has. Seed selection being so important a ])art in the production of corn, we should take a small amount of land, higiily manured or fertilized, and plant for seed purposes, letting the corn stand without stripping the fodder until gatliering time, then you have a strong, vigorous and well-matured ear. When you begin to shell your seed corn (shell by hand) shell off a part of each end and use that for feed, taking the largest and most vigorous grains for planting. By following this method you will double the yield of your crop in a few years. If you buy seed corn take it only in the ear, as there is so often fraud practiced on the farmer in de- fective seeds. By following the above plan from year to year your ears will in a few years increase in weight 40 to 50 per cent, and instead of having to take 120 ears to the bushel, as was the custom twenty-five years ago, you can select plenty of ears which will weigh a pound to the ear. I know this to be a fact as I have individually tried it, and can demonstrate it in my crib. Some agriculturists contend for low ear and stalk. I say from experience the stalk should be what some call high, the ear not less than five feet high, the stalk strong and large with large braces to support it. No one should plant any other kind on our bottom or lowland, which is subject to overflow, as the ears are above the water and the corn will not injure by souring after being overflowed. I have just gone through a trial from last month (August) high water and my corn is all 0. K. while some of ray neighbors are badly hurt by having low corn. I am giving my individual experience in this article and not writing from a theoretical standpoint. Every farmer should be to a certain extent an experi- menter in his work. It is his duty to take all the Bulletins issued by the De- partment of Agriculture and study them and see if he can not improve his farm and also improve on the subject being discussed, and notify the Department of Agriculture by writing an article on that particular line, giving his individual experience, and by so doing he will show to the people the great work which is being done by the Agricultural Department. The Department of Agriculture is a State-wide school on agricultural lines; the various object lessons that are being given 'by the experimental farms along all agricultural, horticultural and veterinary lines, as well as the field work in a number of counties; the institute work all over the State where the farmer and his wife can learn from scientific and practical men and women how to apply science practically to their farms and homes. If the farmer expects to succeed in the advancement along agricultural lines he should, with his family, attend every Farmers' Institute held in his county or section. REFORMS NEEDED ON THE FARM. E. S. MILLSAPPS. Friends and Fellow-Farmers: I am glad to have the opportunity to talk to you for a short while on a subject of interest to all mankind. In the beginning let me say that we are at the turning point in the history of Southern agriculture. For a hundred years or more we have been engaged in a system of soil robbery that, but for our unsur- passed climate and natural resources, would have brought poverty to any people. The South is said to be poor, and reviewing the history of Southern agriculture is it any wonder? When the South was first settled we had great areas of magnificent forests and millions of acres of land as fertile as the sun of heaven ever shone upon. The first thing our forefathers did was to cut off and destroy the forests and get into cultivation some of the fertile land that was so abundant 64 The Bulletin. at that time. This land was cheap — its money value was almost nothing — and as soon as a field ceased to produce satisfactorily it was thrown out and more timber was sacrificed to bring into cultivation new land, to be treated in the same way. So year after year this system was kept up. Slavery had something to do with such a system of destructive farming. The negroes had to be kept at work, if their lai)or was to be profitalde. So each winter saw large areas of timber land cleared and brought into cultivation to be robbed and butchered as the other had been. Then came the Boy Dixie to complete the work of de- struction. The land was plowed two to three inches deep, and the heavy rains carried the soil away as fast as it could be plowed up. This system, if the utter lack of system may be called such, grew into our people, generation after gener- ation, with little or no thought of soil improvement, until the time came, as it comes to all spendthrifts, that the "system" nuist be changed. The time has now come when this must be changed. Let us remember that North Carolina must be the home of millions of people, and that this very soil which we and our forefathers have robbed must produce them a living. God Almighty gave us this goodly land. What shall be the account of our stewardship? Shall our farms be handed down to our children so impoverished that they can not make a living on them? It is a matter that stares us in the face with stern reality. You must permit me to talk plainly. Being a farmer myself I must be permitted to say some things that are rather hard on us, but they are true nevertheless. The farmer is not a business man, has not been in the past, but he is doing better now. When we as farmers learn to use our brains more and our hands less, or rather, when our hands become more skillful on account of the exercise of more brain power, more thought, more studying out of the details of our business, then we shall begin to make things come to pass. When farmers as a class learn to apply the same business acumen, sound reasoning and good judgment to the problems that confront them that the business man exercises in the conduct of his business, the same success will reward his efforts. Yes, I say emphatically that the farmer must learn to be a business man. Our State and national departments of agriculture are becoming alarmed at the depletion of soil fertility, which has resulted from methods of farming in vogue in the past, and they are now making every effort possible to put into effect other and better methods, such that the farmers and their families may not only make a living but at the same time may so enrich their soil that per- manent prosperity may follow. This is the problem before us. How may it best be solved is now the question. We are told that the corn crop of the world was, last year, about 3,300,000,000 bushels, and that the United States, the greatest corn-producing country of the world, produced 2.7(i7,000,000 bushels. This is an enormous amount of corn, but it is not the largest crop our country has given to the world. Our corn crops have been increasing from year to j'ear by reason of the fact that we have been able to increase our acreage as our population increased, but this can not con- tinue indefinitely. There nuist necessarily come a time when our acreage can not be extended, and it is against this time that our people must be prepared to feed the increasing population by multiplying the productive capacity of each acre. In another hundred jears we shall have 200,000,000 people to feed, besides the live stock that must necessarily be kept on the farms. The enormous crop of last year makes a per capita production of only about thirty bushels, and if our present methods continue it will only be a question of time when we shall fail to produce our bread-stufV, and then where shall be turn for our supplies? The balance of the world produces only about one-half of one bushel of corn per capita. So, so far as corn goes, we need not look to other parts of the world for that. The wheat crop is even smaller than tlie corn crop. Therefore, without entering into a discussion of international economics, I say we must produce the food for man and beast, and, as we have seen, if we can not increase our acres we must, by better methods of tillage and soil management, increase the capacity of the acres we already have. 'J his is not the only question we must consider — we of the South. We must look to our own welfare against the North and West. The South has the greatest money crop of the world, and we have practically a monopoly of that crop, but so long as the South fails to produce the corn and wheat, hay and meat necessary to feed her people and stock, just so long will The BuLLKTiN. 65 the Soutli be poor, and this is true, more espociaHy, because these "supplies" are pur(!hased from the proceeds of one crop. This is the truth we are endeavoring to drive home, and we would that we could do so with sledge-hammer blows. No people can succeed long and dcjiond upon mu' crop, for certainly in the end it will redound to their undoing, tlie impoverishment of the soil, which is the greatest calamity that can befall any people. We are told that the cotton crop of North Carolina amounts to thirty-five or forty million dollars annually, and that the only portion of this enormous amount of money that remains to the credit of the State is the percentage the mercliants get for handling Western •'food supplies." Now it takes hard work and lots of it to raise the cotton to get that much money, and then it is hard to see it leave the State to purchase products which it has been demonstrated can easily be grown in the State. Some of the largest crops of corn ever produced have been grown right here in North Carolina, and why not? We have the climate and the soil, too, if we as farmers do our duty by it. No soil in the world responds more readily to the kindly touch of tii'e w'ise husbandman, it has been proven that we can grow corn at a cost not beyond the freight we pay on the corn we purchase from the Western farmer. If he can produce corn and sell it to us and make a profit, why can we not produce it at home and keep tlie money here to build up our own re- sources, educate our children, construct good roads and build up our cities? Now is it worth while? 1 ask each individual if the task we have set for our- selves is worthy of accomplishment? It becomes an individual matter. Each man must do his part, and no man must be a shirker. Now it may be said that I am dealing in glittering generalities, and that there is nothing practical in them. I ask whether it is worth while for a farmer some- times to think on a little broader line, to become a bigger man in the world of thought, and to be more of a factor in the world's business affairs? To be plain, friends, how many of you know a good many practical things which you are failing to do? There are very few farmers now who do not know better than they do. A goodly number of farmers are yet abusing the so-called "book farmer," and yet crops will somehow grow better" for the "book farmers" than for the other fellow. Then why lag back and follow in the wake of the great agricul- tural awakening that is surely coming. There are farmers now tilling the soil in the old slipshod, haphazard way, who will live to see the day when they will be doubling, yea quadrupling, their present yields. This is not foolishness. 1 have seen it done and you have too. Tlie day will come to our good State when we shall be ashamed of the record we are now making as farmers, an average production of fourteen bushels of corn per acre for the whole State. I speak of corn because I regard corn as our greatest crop, and because of the further fact that where good crops of corn can be grown, or poor ones for that matter, it is a good index to the character of farming that is being done. Now, friends, I have said these things that you may begin to think about them. ' W^e must be broader, bigger men if we are to solve the problems that confront the farmers of the future. It requires more thought, keener judgment, closer application to strictly business methods, to be a successful farmer, than for any other calling or profession. The farmer has not only the ordinary financial problems, but various conditions of soil, of weather and climate, the selection of seed, the breeding and growing of live stock, rotations, harvesting and market- ing of crops. In addition to this, he must be a close student of economy. He must know not alone how to market his products well, but he must know how to produce them at the least expense. This brings me to consider the economy of farm management. To produce crops economically we must have good stock and tools, and to be able to use tools on a farm to good advantage it is necessary to have the land cleared of roots and stumps, and the fields must be put in the best shape possible. There are many farms where a little work in shaping up the fields would pay handsome profits lay enabling the farmer to do more work and better work. The gullies should be filled up, the plum trees grubbed out by the roots, and the briars and bushes around the corners cut off so that the big plow, the mowing machine and the binder may do their best work. The farm roads should be laid off so as to interfere as little as possible with the shapeliness 66 The Bulletin. of tlie fields, and the fields should be arranged so that the rota-tion of the crops miglit follow easily and natvirally, and, in the arrangement of the farm into convenient fields, due regard sliould be liad for tlie pasturing of live stock, for the farmer wlio neglects this invites failure, to a certain extent, because there is no system of farming that can be permanently successful without live stock. Now, friends, let us, one and all, do all in our power to hasten the coming of this new day in our farming conditions. Let us raise our own "supplies," and keep at home the millions of dollars we are sending to other States, and thus become a rich and prosperous people. PEANUTS. HARTWELL SCARBOROUGH. Tlie writer can not undertake to give specific and ironclad rules for the culti- vation and marketing of peanuts, for, like all other farm crops, local conditions influencing this crop dilVer. But we can studj' and learn some principles which, when studied and applied intelligently, will lead us to success in handling profit- ably this valuable Southern crop. The peanut industry is yet in its infancy, so to speak, for only since the Civil War have peanuts been grown and handled on any large commercial scale. And even now the bulk of the crop is used as human food, largely sold by the vendors in the form of parched nuts and in candies. Several years ago (the latest figures are not at hand) 95 per cent of the peanuts consumed east of the Rockies were produced in eleven counties of Southeastern Virginia and Eastern North Carolina. The value of both the nuts and the vines as stock feed has just begun to be recognized, and in the near future there must necessarily be an increased demand and an added line of profit to this crop used as a feed for stock. The great fatten- ing qualities of this crop ai'e known by all pork fatteners in the peanut belt. The hay from the vines of the peanut ranks with the clovers. The peanut belongs to tiie legume family, and when hogs are allowed to harvest the crop, thus leaving the vines and roots upon the soil, they improve the land and rank right along with the cowpea and the clovers and other membeis of the same family. Of course if all vines are removed and peanuts planted successively on the same field the land will become impoverished. The varieties of the peanut are several. Some of the leading varieties are the Spanish, Wilmington, Virginia Runner, Virginia Bunch, North Carolina Bunch and Tennessee Red. The Tennessee Red is not grown to any great extent in this State, and is not considered a desirable peanut by "the trade." The remaining varieties divide themselves into two classes, the "Bunch," grow- ing somewhat in an upright position, with the fruit clustered on the "limbs" around the tap-root, and the "Running" varieties, which trail along the surface of the soil and have the fruit at the joints along tliese "limbs" or "runners." The Spanish, Virginia Bunch and Nortli Carolina Bunch belong to the "Bunch" or upright growing class. The Virginia Runner and Wilmington belong to the flat growing or trailing varieties. The Spanish is used largely for "shelling stock" to go into the manufacture of candy. The others are used largely for what is known as "the trade," and are sold largely in the form of parched peanuts for human food. These are also used to feed the monkey and the elephant at the circus. Seed selection of peanuts has not received the attention which some of our field crops have received, and there is room for great improvement along this line by selecting from the field the best individual plants, llie soil adaptation of this State for peanuts is much wider than the popular belief would indicate. The peanut, like cotton, is a hot weather or heat-loving plant, and can be grown on almost anv soil upon which cotton can be grown. Of course the whitest, most attractive hull is grown on the lighter sandy soils, but some of the largest yields are made on soils under- laid with clay. IiiE Bulletin. 67 A good rotation is, perhaps, more important, where peanuts are to be a. part of the system, tlian in most crops, because of tlie tendency to feed tlie vines from tiie' land, thus renioviiif,' practically all the vegetable matter from tiie soil. Soils constantly robbed in tliis manner, without some system of rotation to replace this vegetable nnitter, would decrease in fertility. In a good three or fcnir-year rotation, using cowpeas, clover and other legumes, leaving a good portion of vegetable matter in the soil, peanuts need not impoverish the soil, even when nuts and vines are removed. The preparation of the soil for peanuts should be thorough, as in other crops. Time spent with plows and harrows to get the soil in a fine, pulverized condition before the seed are planted always starts the crop to better advantage and makes the subsequent cultivation much easier and less expensive. It lias been my ex- perience that Hat planting and level cultivation is prefeiable, being less expensive and yielding better results. Yet some of our good farmers dilVer with me here and still plant on a ridge, and follow somewhat the method known as "ridge" cultivation. The peanut is, compared with cotton and tobacco, an easy crop to cultivate. The weeder, used often and at the pioper time, that is, before the young grass and weeds get a start, is a very satisfactory implement to aid in the cultivation of peanuts, and helps greatly towards eliminating the hoe. If the ground is well prepared before jjlanting, and the cultivation is frequent, one chopping is usually sullicient; but if the soil is not stirred often, so as to destroy young weeds and grass while quite small, more than one chopping will be neces- sary. One great advantage with the peanut plant is that being sliglitly covered with dirt does not hurt the young plant, but in a few hours it pushes its way out and grows as well as before. The peanut is a great lover of soil that has been well limed. To make the larger varieties successfully a good quantity of lime is necessary, either naturally in the soil or supplied by the grower. The quantity to apply to the acre depends entirely upon the individual condition of the soil in question. As a rule the more humus in tlie soil the more lime can be used profitably. Anywhere from 200 to 1,000 pounds to the acre may be used, depending upon the condition of the soil in question. Totash and phosphates are also very beneficial to this crop. On land producing a good-sized vine the use of nitrogen or ammonia will not be found profitable in most cases. The matter of lime, potash and phosphates is of so much im- portance tiiat it would be wise for those not having grown this crop (and for many who have grown it also) to write; Dr. Kilgore, the State Chemist, and tell him the nature of your soil and he will be able to give valuable information along this line. Land plaster, or sulphate of lime, is applied to the crop at the rate of from 200 to 300 pounds to the acre, just as the plant gets started to fruiting or "peg- ging," as the farmers say. This i)laster causes the peanuts to fill out well in the hull or prevents "pops," as we call hulls without fruit in them. The chemists tell us that the purpose of this plaster is to make quickly available the elements the plant needs at this stage. The harvesting or "digging" of the crop is commenced when the larger number of pods on the vines have reached maturity. There are several usual indications of this stage. The lower leaves usually begin to shed, the leaf and limbs show dark spots, showing that the plant has about completed its growth. The surest test, however, is to pull up an average vine and examine the stems connecting the fruit with the vine. If the stems on the most mature pods are dead and have somewhat the appearance of a wet paper string the jjlant has reached its maturity, and the sooner the crop is dug the larger per cent of the pods will be saved. Sometimes growers allow them to "shed" some of the oldest pods in order to have some for the hogs to consume, more than would be otherwise left in the ground by the usual operation of digging. The operation of "digging," as usually understood by the grower, includes the whole process of ploughing up, shaking out the dirt and stacking around poles six or seven feet high above the ground. The tap-root of the ])lant is cut just below the nuts by running under the plant with a one-horse turning plow with the wing removed, the point being made longer towards the outer edge by fast- ening a piece of steel, sharpened, so as to cut the tap-root. Some use what is 68 The Bulletin. known as a peanut-point, moulded by the plow-makers for this purpose. After the plow come the shakers who take or lift the vines from the soil and shake a large part of the dirt from the fruit and the vines. After the vines have lain in the sun for several hours they are placed in a circle around the poles, set upright in the ground. A slat (sometimes two slats) is nailed about ten or twelve inches from the ground onto this pole tu prevent the peanuts from touching the soil. The stack is started by placing the vines, pods pointing inward, in a circle about this pole, the slat furnishing the starting point. When the stack has reached a point where the top is difficult to reach by the stacker it is "drawn in" and some of the vines or a bunch of grass tied around the pole to prevent rain water from running down the pole. After the peanuts have remained in the stack long enough to dry or cure out sufficiently to rattle in the hull, they are ready to be picked from the vines, either by hand or by the different pickers or threshers on the market for that purpose. Most of the Spanish crop is threshed by the old-style peanut thresher. The great bulk of the larger varieties are picked by machines of more recent invention. "The Benthall" picker and "The Ferguson" picker are the two best known and most widely used in the "Peanut Belt." Both of these machines are manufactured at Suffolk, Va. Peanuts are marketed by the grower in bags holding from 85 to 100 pounds, according to the class and size of goods, and are sold by weight. The future of the peanut industry appears to be a bright one, especially as their value as a food for stock, as well as a regular part of human diet, is becoming better known. Any one writing to the National Department of Agriculture and to the North Carolina Department can obtain a Bulletin from each, giving much valuable information about the growing and marketing of peanuts. IMPROVED FARM METHODS AS PREVEMATIVE FOR INSECT PESTS (ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD TO COTTO> AND CORN). FRANKLIN SHERMAN, JR.. ENTOMOLOGIST. Introducton. — In many counties in North Carolina the chief crops are cotton and corn, these two being grown in rotation, or often not with any particular reference to rotation. Cowpeas are commonly grown in the corn. Where the number of staple crops grown is thus confined to only two or three it is evident that the areas devoted to each crop must be relatively large, hence in many of our eastern and southeastern counties fields of cotton of 40 to 100 acres are not at all uncommon, and the areas devoted to corn are often nearly as large. On these crops insect pests of many kinds do more or less injury each year, but so large is the acreage involved and so low the margin of profit that it becomes impracticable to adopt measures like spraying, dusting or plant-by-plant inspection to seek out and destroy the offenders. On such staple crops, grown in large areas, we must depend chiefly on methods which will lessen the proba- bilitv of attack, or enable the crop to outgrow any slight injury which may be inflicted. Therefore in this discussion I shall refer, not to methods which are directed merely at the insects themselves, but to methods which stimulate and help the crop anyway, and which at the same time have a detrimental effect on the insect pests. 1. Drainage. — In all parts of North Carolina there are lands which fail to produce the crops of which they are capable from lack of drainage. It is not my purpose to discuss how to drain lands, but I can say most positively that certain pests like cut-worms, bud-worms in corn, and especially bill-bugs on corn, are always worse on poorly-drained lands. If, therefore, a good system of drainage will benefit our crops anyway, and will at the same time lessen the damage from these pests, it becomes worth our while to consider it and put it in effect when possible. 2. Selection of Lands for Planting. — Of course we can not always have free choice as to exactly where to plant our corn or our cotton — we have to fit these The Buj-i.etix\. 69 things according to our soiienie of farming, according to the crops that have pre- ceded" and the crops whicli are to follow. But wliere we can have some choice in the matter it will pay us to remember that lowlands are always worse in- fested vAth cut-icorms, hud-ioorms and bill-bugs than are high lands. 3. Early Breaking and Thorough Preparation. — If we break our land late in spring, waiting as late as possible before planting time, we do not have time to give as good preparation as is desirable, the land does not have enough time to become aired and weathered, and whatever vegetable matter (humus) is turned in does not have sufficient time to decompose. Hence in all these things we will benefit by breaking the land early, in winter or very early spring, and by so doing ice at the same time starve and drive away innumerable eut-worm,s, which would otherwise do damage. If the land be broken early we can give it extra good preparation for the crop, working it into fine, mellow condition so that there will be a fine seed-bed. And all the extra working tliat we give it in preparation for the crop helps to drive away the cut-worms and other pests lohich may already be in the soil. 4. Time of Planting. — The exact time of planting of corn has much to do with injury by bud-worm. In the cooler parts of the State, and especially in the clay bottom lands of Piedmont North Carolina, early planted corn suffers most, and in those sections the best way of avoiding bud-worm is to plant the corn moderately late, and all through the early season be giving the land as thorough preparation as possible, so that when it is planted it will have every chance to sprout quickly and grow rapidly. On the other hand, in the warmest sections, in extreme eastern and soiitheastern parts of the State, the best chance seems to be to plant a little early and thus get the crop started ahead of bud-worm. These are points worth considering, for bud-worms destroy a great deal of young corn in the State every year. 5. Amount of Seed. — Replanting of corn or cotton is always unsatisfactory. Even if it enable.s us to get a stand (which it does not always do) it gives us a spotted and uneven crop at best, which is liable to serious injury by the earliest frost in fall. Therefore it is well to remember at planting time that cut-worms, wire-worms, bill-bugs, bud- worms, root-lice and other pests are apt to destroy a certain number of the young plants anyway (especially on low lands), and remember that it is always more economical to plant an excess of seed, and thin the crop to a proper stand after these pests have done their part, than it is to replant in order to get a stand. Hence it may be the very best of policy, when planting in a field which we know to be infested, to plant an excess of seed so as to have a stand, left in spite of all that these pests can do. 6. Fertilization.^ — -Most of us realize that some knowledge of fertilizers, their composition, action and effects is necessary in order to use them to best ad- vantage. Fertilizers may also be used in such a way as to lessen the destruction by insects. Kainit used in fertilizer helps considerably as a protection against cut-worms. Nitrate of soda, on account of its quick action, will often enable young cotton to outgrow the attack of root-louse. All that we can do to stimu- late the cotton to mature its crop early not onlj^ saves the crop from frost, but also helps to protect it from the ravages of boll-worm, which is always most de- structive on the late-maturing cotton. In the States where boll-weevil is now present the cotton growers find that they must study the problem of fertilizing so as to force the crop to early maturity so as to make it safe before the fall broods of weevil, which are the most destructive broods of the season. It is a question of "early cotton or none"' wdiere boll-weevil gets hold, and, as we will in all probability have boll-weevil in North Carolina in the course of a few more years, we need to study the means of forcing the cotton crop to early maturity. Fertilizers can help us in this. Aside from the question of forcing a crop to early maturity, it stands to reason that any system of fertilization which enables our crop to grow strongly and healthily will enable it to recover from any slight injury which insects might inflict. 7. Early, Rapid Cultivation. — Within the last few years we have come to appreciate the value of rapid cultivation of corn and cotton early in the season, so as to give the crops a clean start ahead of weeds and grass, and to work them clean quickly after rains. For this purpose weeders or section harrows are used, going diagonally across the rows of the young corn or cotton. Although it tears out a few stalks (and often looks as if it would do more harm than good) yet 70 Tke Bulletin*. we find that it kills out the young grass and weeds so effectively and stirs the ground (lightly) so close up to the young plants that it is a very great benefit to tliem. At the same time let lis remember that such rapid early cultication is very annoying to cut-worms, cotton root-louse and other underground insects, so that by this practice we not only encourage the crop but we discourage its insect enemies. 8. KoTATTOX. — A wisely planned, carefully carried out system of crop rotation is always advisable. It helps the land by resting it from the exhausting eirects of a single crop, it results in much larger yields per acre, and it makes the growth 90 strong and vigorous that slight injury by insects is quickly outgrown and consequently scarcely noticeable. Rotation is discouraging to insects that live underground or to insects which do not move freely from jjlace to i)lace. Further- more,"when a rotation is followed tlie acreage in each crop is apt to be reduced and the value per acre is increased at the same time, so that we can more easily and with greater profit use more expensive and more effective measures of control. For instance, with cotton boll-worm, if one has 100 acres in cotton only making one-third of a bale per acre, he could not afford to go to very great expense to combat boll-worm. But if he has only thirty-three acres, making a bale per acre, he could well aiVord to go to the expense of dusting over all the plants with poison or use other expensive measures, for his crop would justify it. Further- more, if one man makes only one-third bale per acre, and boll-worms were to destroy one-fourth of that, he would have only a very unprofitable crop left. But if by practicing rotation he has worked his land up to a bale per acre, even if the boll-worm destroyed one-fourth of his crop he would still have a profitable crop left. Summary. — These considerations show us plainly that even though we may not consider it worth our while to give special attention to every pest which may attack our crops, yet it is abundantly worth while to put in practice such methods as will actually make larger crops anyway, and which will at the same time reduce the damage from insects. Injuries from insects usually seem worst on crops that are not doing well. All that we can do to grow big crops will make our losses from insects relatively less. The man whose land is held steadily at a standard of a bale or more of cotton per acre, or sixty bushels or more of corn per acre, is not usually the one who complains most of insect damage to cotton and corn. DISEASES OF PLANTS.* F. L. STEVENS. The loss incurred from plant diseases is often underestimated by the farmer; passes unrecognized, or is regarded as natural and inevitable. As a matter of fact plant diseases are exceedingly destructive, and the difference between profit and loss on a given crop is often traceable to the way in which the plant diseases are handled. In general, plant diseases may be described as including all rots, molds, blights, mildews, rusts, smuts and spots of various kinds. Many of these depreciate the value of the yield or cause its loss during storage. Leaf spots, blights, etc., reduce the amount of green matter of the leaf, and thereby reduce the starch-making power of the leaf. Tlie purpose of the loaf is to produce starch, to nourisii the wood, twigs and fruit of following months and years. If the green portion of the leaf and its starcli-producing power be destroyed future yields must suffer accordingly. The number of diseases of the nature under dis- cussion is very large. There are several hundred serious and injurious plant diseases. Of "these niany can be prevented by proper treatment, although, of course, there are many others for which no satisfactory treatment is known. The treatment is based upon our knowledge of the nature of these diseases, most of which are caused by parasitic bacteria or fungi. Bacteria and fungi are very small living organisms which grow upon or in the crop plant, draw nourishment •The Illustrations are loaned by MacmiUan Co.. from Stevens & Hall's book, Disease of Plants TlIK J^UIJ.KTJN. 71 from it, and tliereby cause iU disease. To [.reveiit tlie inroads of sucii enemie!- man resorts to the use of suitable jioisons to spray upon or otlierwise to apply to his plants, and thus to ie had by writing to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. RUST. Apple. — Apple rust is a disease which may be readily recognized by its yellowish spots, often with an orange center, occurring upon the leaves. On the lower side Fig. 188 — Cedar apple, gall of the rust funpus. Fig. 28 — Apple leaf affected with rust. of the leaf spot is a warty outgrowth. This apple rust is particularly prevalent throughout the eastern riodmont sections of the State and is often very de- The Bulletin. 73 structive, diminishing tlie amount of green leaf surface, and thereby lessening the vigor of the tree and its productiveness. The apple rust is responsible for a great deal of the loss in sections where it prevails. This disease has a peculiar history, in that the fungus wliich causes it spends its summer upon the apple, causing the leaf spots, and its winter upon the cedar tree, causing the familiar gall known as cedar apples. These cedar apples in the spring send out abundant gelatinous horn-like projections which bear great quantities of the spores of the causal fungus. These spores, borne by the winds, bear infection to neighboring apple trees. It is thus seen that the apple tree is an enemy of the ,pedar tree and that the cedar tree is an enemy of the apple tree, and that the two can not be grown successfully near each other. The treatment to be employed against this disease consists in removing, whenever practicable, all cedar trees that stand near apple trees, that is, that are within a quarter of a mile of apple trees. LEAF SPOT. Apple. — Apple leaf spot is a more or less circular tan-colorod spot in the leaf. It may usually be recognized easily by the fact that it is marked by several more or less regular concentric circles. This leaf spot, unlike the rust, prevails in greatest abundance in the western part of the State. To prevent it the trees^ KiG. 33 — Apple leaf spot in late stage of development, showing concentric rings. should be thoroughly sprayed with bordeaux mixture. One treatment should he made just before the buds open, another just after the blossoms fall, and suTjse- quent spraying should be given every ten to fourteen days thereafter. 74 The BuLLKTiiN. HYPOCHNOSE. Apple. — This is a disease which was described by the writer in the thirty- second annual report of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. It prevails particularly in the mountainous section of the State, and may be FiQ. 34 — Hypochnose, showing matting of leaves. recognized by cinnamon-colored bodies about one-eighth of an inch in diameter found upon the surface of twigs which bear the diseased leaves. This disease can be prevented by spraying as suggested above. BLIGHT. Pear. — Pear blight is recognized by sudden dying of the leaves and twigs. It constitutes our worst pear disease. This disease is caused by bacteria which exist in enormous numbers within the combium layer and tliere multiply, re- sulting in the death of the part invaded. No satisfactory treatment is known for this disease, and the only treatment which can be recommended is to cut out and burn all twigs which are infected. The twigs sliould be cut fully a foot below all signs of disease. By so doing many germs will be destroyed and the amount of infection will be lessened. The best time to make the first inspection is during the winter, and subsequent inspections and pruning should be made every week. If the pruning knife should accidently pass into diseased wood it might become ladened with the bacteria and thus infect the other twigs. It is TlIK BULI.KTIN. 75 well, therefore, for the pruncr to carry a cloth saturated with a solution of corrosive sublimate and to wipe the pruning knife witii this after each cut. If Fig. 42— Pear blight, healthy and diseased twigs. these directions are followed carefully the disease can to a very large extent be brought under control. WILT. Cotton. — Cotton wilt may be recognized by sudden wilting of the plants, the wilting often beginning between the veins of the leaves. Plants siiowing wilted leavcs^if cut crosswise near the ground reveal darkened strands running length- wise through the stem. The root is also more or less decayed. A furtlior symptom of this disease is that it occurs in spots in the field, and tliat these spots occupy the same location year after year, and enlarge as time goes by. The disease is caused by a fungus in tlie soil which gains entrance to the plant tluough its roots, grows into the water vessels, plugs them and thus cut off the water suppl3\ No treatment is known except to employ resistant plants on soils in- fected with this disease. Coicpea. — Cowpea wilt differs from the cotton wilt in that the leaves fall, leaving the stalk bare. In its other symptoms it resembles the cotton wilt, and the remedy consists in planting only resistant varieties. The most serviceable is the iron pea. 76 The Bulletin. Watermelon. — Watermelon wilt is similar to the cotton wilt, whole vines droop- ing and dying in a day. The darkening of the veins in the stem, the recurrence on soil once infected, are the characteristics by which it may be recognized. Since cowpeas are often raised with melons, infected melon vines readily find their way through the cowpea hay to the manure pile. In the manure pile the fungus increases rapidly, and the manure thus becomes capable of carrying the disease to any land to which it is applied. Stable manure in the infected region is therefore dangerous. Land once infected can not be cured, therefore precau- tion should be taken to prevent the infection of land which is now healthy. BLIGHT. Potato, Ir'sh. — Experiments in many States have proved the value of spraying Irish potatoes with* bordeaux mixture. The yield is often doubled or even trebled. Bordeaux mixture should be applied; the first application when the Fig. 119— Potato late blight. plants are about eight inches high with subsequent applications every ten to fourteen days. Any one interested in this spraying should write to the Experi- ment Station, Geneva, N. Y., for their Bulletin on the subject. BLACK ROT. Qrape. — This disease is the most common of all grape diseases, and is found all over the State. It may be recognized by the black, dried, wrinkled berries. In many sections the crop is absolutely worthless on account of the prevalence of this disease, and it is found to some extent at practically every home where grapes are raised. This disease can be almost entirely controlled by proper, thorough spraying with bordeaux mixture as recommended above for apples. A special Bulletin concerning this disease can be had on application to the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, West Raleigh, N. C. Every farmer should familiarize himself with the chief plant diseases and learn how to prevent them. He should learn how to make bordeaux mixture and the lime-sulphur washes, and should use them.

BURGESS. lu December, 1909, Dr. C. G. Hopkins, of Illinois, addressed the following letter to the Ministers of Agriculture and several other leading agricultural in- vestigators in a number of European countries: "Sir: — Statistical records clearly indicate that in your country there has been a large increase in the average yield per acre of wheat and other cereal crops during the last 80 or 100 years — an increase amounting as a rule to about 100 per cent. "We shall esteem it a very great favor if you will be so kind as to inform me about what relative proportion of this increase you would attribute to each of the following factors: ( 1 ) "To the use of improved seed. (2) "To the use of plant food in commercial fertilizers and stable and green manures. (3) "To better rotation of crops. (4) "To more thorough tillage. "Without doubt you have sufficient information concerning the changes that have occurred in your agricultural practice during the last century to enable you to designate somewhat closely the relative importance of these several factors in effecting the increase over the former yields, and your opinion in this regard will be highly appreciated by us. "With deep respect I am, "Very truly yours, [Signed) Cyril G. Hopkins." 78 The Bulletin. It would be both interesting and instructive to review the replies Mr. Hopkins received relative to all four of the factors mentioned above, but for our purpose it must sullice to note briefly the inlluence of the first factor in doubling the yields of European crops. The letter was sent to men and societies that would be most likely to have an unbiased opinion, and wliose information would entitle their decision to a very close approximation of the facts. We were no little surprised, therefore, when we found such men as A. D. Hall, of England, Von Seelhorst, of Germany, the Director-General of Agriculture of Holland, "the Minister of Agriculture of France, and a number of other loading spirits in European agriculture, placing the amount of increase in yields in those countries, due to improved seed, at from 5 per cent to 15 per cent. Most of the increased yield is due, say they, to better cultural methods, commercial fertilizers and the use of green and stable manures, the latter of which is made largely from feeds imported from the United States and other foreign countries. Mr° Hall, in his reply, says: "Hnproved seed do not count for very much. We still f'row a great many varieties tliat were known 80 to 100 j'ears ago." It Is clear from the above statement that Mr. Hall recognizes a difference be- tween "improved" seed and "f/oocZ" seed. We can have very poor "improved" seed and very good unimproved seed. What we want is good seed, whether im- proved or unimproved. And what are good seed? Seed are good when they are sound; have nniximum germiiuUing power, and have been selected from high- yielding mother plants. Such seed may be "improved" or unimproved, but they will be^good, and consequently give a perfect stand and high yield, other things being equal. In tlie absence of absolute experimental data we venture the assertion that our corn and cotton crops are reduced at lea>t 10 per cent by a poor stand, caused by using weak and unsound seed. Should this statement stand the light of in- vestigatTon the farmers of the State are losing yearly several million dollars from failure to get a good stand of corn and cotton, to say nothing of wheat, oats, tobacco, etc! Furthermore, when we examine an average row of cotton and find one-third to one-half of the plants bearing from two to ten bolls and tlie rest of the stalks loaded down with from twenty to fifty bolls, we again feel the effect of allowing the ginncr to select our cotton seed rather than do the selecting ourselves in the" field at picking time. Again our failure to select our seed is felt in the cornfield when we come to harvest our crop from barren stalks or well-developed stalks with only nubbins on them. The general law that like begets like, or that "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap," rules wilh as great harshness in tiie corn and cotton fields as anywhere else. We will now discuss some of the details of selecting seed corn and cotton seed. It must be borne in mind that show corn is not necessarily good seed corn, though the ears may be sound, apjjroach perfection of outline, and take the highest prcnmims. Corn shows arc very valmible stinuilants to agricultural communities, but they are very poor places at which to select or buy your seed corn for next year. This is because corn for show purposes generally comes from single-ear stalks in case the exhibit is made of husked ears o(T the stalks; and where the ears are exhibited on the stalk little or no attention is generally paid to the general development of the plant in the field, etc. The mere beauty of an ear of corn, then, is no criterion by which to judge of its merits as seed corn. The most approved method of selecting seed corn is to go into the field before the fodder is ripe and pick out the best two, three or four-eared stalks, depending on the degiee of prolificacy that is desired in the variety, and tag them. These stalks should be allowed to dry without disturbing the fodder or tops. After the stalk is quite dry gather these seed ears and put them where the rats can not get at them. It is a good plan to select about twice as much seed corn in the field as will be needed for planting in order that a second selection may be made during the winter. In the selection of cotton seed a similar plan may be followed. The best plants in the field should be used as mother plants, and the picking done from the middle of the stalk, avoiding the bolls at the extreme top and extreme bottom of the plant, rick several hundred pounds in this way and have the ginner gin it separately and return the seed unmixed. It is poor economy to plant any but The Bulletin. 79 the most vital seed, because from weak, undeveloped seed a poor crop is aure to result, and no amount of fertilization or cultivation is going to overcome this tendency to low yields. ^. \Vlien Mr. ilall, of England, said "Improved seed does not count for very mucli he had reference to the recent new varieties that have been tiirown on the market, because most of the wheats grown in his country are improved wheals, and it is as true with varieties of wheat as with varieties of corn and cotton, that the careful selection of seed is absolutely necessary, not only to the highest yields per acre, but to the prolongation of the life of the variety. The use of the breeding plat has been so often urged that it would seem scarcely necessary to refer to it again, but for its very great importance in the breeding of seed corn. • LIVE STOCK FOR NOKTH CAROLINA. A. L. FRENCH. North Carolina has been for two generations a non-live stock State. Much live stock has been produced and kept on the farms of the State, of course, but except in the extreme western part of the State no great attempt has been made to establish a regular live stock system, and the stock kept has shown the eflects of the lack of business methods in breeding and handling, the animals in general showing lack of breeding in inferior type and lack of feeding in improper develop- ment. "The lands of our State, as a whole, by their condition, when compared with live stock producing sections, show where our farmers have made a mistake in the neglect of this centuries-old method of maintaining soil fertility, and the financial condition of the great mass of our farmers would indicate that tliere has been something radically wrong in the methods tliey have employed in the conduct of their business. We all agree that there are altogether too numy wasted, scarred hillsides, too many poor country schoolhouses, too many, far too many, unpainted, poor-looking dwellings housing the farmers over our State, and altogether too few fine, attractive church buildings wiiere farmers meet together to worsiiip God. The things I have mentioned are pretty sure indicators of tlie financial condition of the farming people of a section. We all agree, I believe, that tlie soils of our State must have something dune for them during this generation that has not been done in the past, or they are going from bad to worse. Many thousands of acres will, we believe, be redeemed only by the use of grass sods, and grass sods can only be made use of profitably when live stock is kept. This is the first reason I would assign why we nuist have more live stock in our State. The writer knows of no hill country in America where hoed crops have been handled exclusively that does not siiow plainly that poverty of soil is all abroad. The pasture is now and will be for years to come the foundation upon which live stock growing must be builded. There are pastures and pastures so called. Ours are mostly in the latter class, and the first tiling our people nmst learn is that pastures are like other crops, viz., good if grown on good land and given proper metliods of culture, proper seeding and proper care. The amount of grass grown per acre and the kinds of giass will be the first measure of the value of the pasture. The second measure of value will be the kind and quality of animals produced. A piece of land that will graze a steer per acre will produce twice tiie profit and more than will a piece which aflTords feed enough for a steer on every two acres. The greater productivity is brought about by clearing the land of every plant except such as produce good nutritious stock food. After a field is once carefully grubbed, only a little labor is required to keep it clean if that labor is applied at the proper time. If the piece of land grazing a steer per acre is handled by a scrub steer that will sell at three cents per pound, that piece of land is producing only one- half the wealth that it would produce were the steer of correct beef type, such as are selling at six cents per pound. Tlie same rule applies to the dairy cow, or any other animal. A pound of growth costs no more feed on a $200 horse than it does on a $100 animal, of the same age. So the kind of an animal has worlds to do 80 The Bulletin. with the profit in live stock growing. The world asks for and is willing to pay twice as much for the same number of pounds, of the kind of animal it wants. When a certain amount of pasture will produce just about the same number of pounds of one sort as it will of another cheaper sort, it is just good business sense to feed the pasture to the better animal. This is plain, isn't it? We are all agreed that North Carolina soils must be improved, so we can make more pounds of product with the same or less amount of labor than is being used to-day. The many leguminous plants that the soils of our State will produce will — because of their nitrogen gathering habit and humus producing capacity — become our greatest soil improvers. These plants can not be produced and used the most profitably without live stock, as with live stock we may secure both the manurial and stock food values, the latter amounting to around nine dollars per ton for each ton of dry hay produced. This hay may, by the use of the best harvesting tools, be housed at about $1.00 per ton in North Carolina (we have harvested many hvmdreds of tons at that figure or less), and if the manure be carefully handled fully 75 per cent of the plant food value may be retained to enrich the soil, after the animals have secured the food value. And the high-class, high-priced animal pays the double profit here the same as in the use of the pasture, no more pea hay being- required to produce a pound of six-cent beef than is required to produce a like amount of three-cent. Another point in favor of harvesting the legumes instead of plowing them under for manure direct is, that when land is of imeven fertility when the plants are returned to the soil direct a large amount of the product is returned to the rich spots which are already productive, while the poor spots that produce little receive little in return, while if the whole product of the field is made into manure the fertilizer can be applied upon the parts of the field where most needed, in such quantities as may be thought most profitable. A troublesome labor problem is becoming more acute in our State, and the farmer is not without his share of this. The keeping of live stock in many ways tends to mitigate this trouble. The third or half of the live stock farm acreage devoted to pasture requires practically no expense for labor in harvesting the crop. Other large areas of the farm devoted to hays for winter feed for stock may be harvested by machinery rapidly at small expense. In certain sections of the State varieties of hays may be grown that occupy the land for several years in succession, thus eliminating the expense of planting the land each year. This reduces the labor bill again. By having these stock food crop? come in succession, the labor of harvesting may be distributed over several weeks, thus keeping a less number of hands more regularly employed. And by having the live stock to feed and care for, profitable work is provided for the winter months, establishing on the farm the same twelve-months working season that is found necessary to make other businesses the most profitable. By careful business methods and good judgment, a larger amount of wealth may be produced per hand on the North Carolina farm handling live stock than can be produced on farms of the West. We are told that a hand in Iowa averages around $000 per year. The average in North Carolina is under $400. The writer knows of farms in our State that are averaging more than $1,000 per hand per year where live stock is the principal business. We admit that it requires a higher degree of intelligence to make live stock growing successful than is required to grow seed crops, but we have all got to come to putting more brains into our business, any way, so this is really no argument against the growing and feeding of good live stock. It means great things to our State, so is it not time we were about it? LITE STOCK. JOHN W. ROBINSON. In riding over our section of the country you generally see land that has been cleared, all timber cut and put on the market, and in its place pine bushes and galled places ribbed with gullies. Our streams are filled with soil from the hill sides, thus making our bottom land almost worthless. TllK BUM.KTIN. "^1 If live stock had been put on these hills long ago they would not only have been making our butter, beef, mutton, pork, etc., but we would have improved our land so it would be producing corn, from .50 to 100 bushels per acre, and hay for our stock instead of our having to buy most of it from the West. Now the aver- age corn yield in North Carolina is only 1G.8 bushels per acre, cotton about one- half bale per acre, wheat not over 10 "bushels. I have seen 60 bushels of oats grown on one acre, 2 bales of cotton, and 226I/2 bushels of corn per acre. Inquir- ing into this, we find these yields to be made by a generous supply of manure. If these yields can be made in North Carolina, why not use our hills for live stock and use the manure for the level fields for intensified farming? There is no farm the size of 50 to 100 acres that has not some rough land, that should be pasturing live stock, and we generally find on these farms not more than five or ten head" of live stock, including the work stock, but not including the doffs. of which there are too many. There must be some kind of live stock grown on these farms. I'm not saying what kind — either horses, cows, hogs, sheep, and the breed you like best is the best breed for you. Of course, I am a dairyman and partial to the dairy cow. All in one community should breed one kind. If a dairy section, breed the best dairy type. Holstein for milk, Guernsey, Ayrshire or Jersey for butter. If you live in a beef raising section, then all breed one kind of beef cattle. The Short Horn, Hereford, Aberdeen Angus are all fine beef breeds. All should, I think, breed the same for the reason that when we have selected a pure bred sire to breed on our -cows and he has proven to be worth thousands of dollars he should not be killed at beef price, and to keep from in-breeding we can exchange bulls with our neighbors and keep right on without expense. Another reason is, when our surplus is for sale a man can come and buy a carload of cattle in one neigh- borhood, all the same size and color, and this will bring a higher price than if they were of different breeds and colors. Do you know the Aberdeen Angus steers, sold last year on Chicago market at one year old, weighing about 1,000 pounds each, for $8.00 a hundredweight? Now what is a scrub steer bringing on the market? Not over $10.00. It doesn't take any more time to grow an $80.00 steer than a $10.00 one; takes more feed, but he always gives value returned and much more. In my opinion, there is no general-purpose cow. I am convinced of this more and more every day. If growing beef cattle and you want milk and butter for your family, buy a dairy cow. Neither will a dairy cow make good beef. I have never seen a man that could do everything; neither can we expect our lower animals to do all. I wouldn't advise jumping into buying a lot of pure-bred cattle, but buy a pure-bred sire, because you haven't had experience in raising them and the average man hasn't the money. A good male can be bought for about $100.00. If you can't get one for that, pay more. I'd rather have a fourth or eighth interest in a good bull from good ancestors than to own a cheap bull all by myself. In buying a beef bull, select him from good ancestors and breed him on grades. He should show up his type in the choice cuts of beef if he is any good. If you have this, stick to him, don't get scared of him and kill him. In buying a dairy bull it is a little diflferent, and the risk is great. You want to buy him from a sire whose mother made a good record and from a good record dam, also granddam and great granddam and the whole dam family. When the calves come you can't tell at first whether you have a good bull or not, but must wait until these calves are fresh, and then after a year's record work you will discover whether you have a good bull. He will be five or six years old by this time, so if you made a mistake in selecting him you are six years behind in breeding cattle, and must start all over again. A man would hardly buy more than six or eight bulls in his lifetime. You may think I am extravagant in buying a good male, but let us figure a little. Suppose you are breeding a herd of twenty to a scrub bull. Say one-half the calves Avill be heifers and one-half bulls. The bulls will be sold for veal at about $1.00 each, all ten being worth only $10.00. The heifers, very likely, if kept, will not pay you for their feed. Pardon me for referring to myself. I have a bull out of a 700-pound cow. Several years ago I began testing my cows and keeping record, so sold out all the S2 The Bulletin. cows that did not pay for their feed. One calf waa kept from a cow that did not pay for her feed, but out of this bull. With her first calf she made 327 pounds of butter for the year, or a profit of $fiO.OO. Now you would have by using this good bull ten heifers making a profit each of $50.00 at least per year. You would then have $500.00 the first year these heifers were fresh to pay on your good bull. With this start we will be able to build up a good business and also to improve our farms. I remember one old gully on my farm I used to slide down when a boy, causing much trouble later. I never dreamed then of this ever being filled up, or I would at least have objected, but to-day, with the help of some manure, that gully is bringing a fine crop of pea hay instead of a fine spanking crop. The hills are in pasture, brush put in gullies, galled ])laces healed, bushes cut along roadsides, and good wire fences, for remember we can't raise stock without good fences. Bad fences make bad stock, and bad stock makes bad neighbors. There's nothing worse. I'll not say that any one's wife makes bad butter, as I suppose you all think, or should think, your wife makes the best butter you ever ate; but I want to ask the question, wliere does all the bad butter come from? You have all seen such butter often in barrels in the back part of stores, and you are ready to say, "It's shipped oil' for axle grease." 15ut it isn't. It is sent North, run through a reno- vating plant, and shi])ped back South, where it retails for 40 cents per pound, pcrhajjs from the same store where it was bought for 15 cents six months before. It must go through the merchant, the express company, renovating company, express company again, and back to the merchant and on to the consumer, each getting their share of the profit. Another thing: millions of pounds of butter are shipi)C'd here from Western creameries, good butter, too, and I haven't a word of criticism; but let the West look after the Western States and North Carolina after her own markets. We can't afl'ord not to. Ihen we see on the average farm all kinds, shapes and colors of chickens, as varied as the rainbow. They do not lay any better when the breeds are mixed. If for nothing more, it will help the looks of the farm to have all one kind. But not only that, in putting them on the market they will bring from two to three cents more per pound, and the eggs, if assorted and neatly packed, will bring from fiive to seven cents more per dozen. Then, if twenty neighbors were each breeding a difTerent variety, how easy it would be to fill any order! To accomplish the best breeding of live stock we must have some kind of organi- zation, for to-day is the day of co-operation. We can meet at the dilferent farm homes, discuss the problems of farming, the failures and successes, and have a little institute occasionally of our own. We can build telephone lines, buy our feed and machinery togotiicr, sell and buy live stock by the wholesale. Three years ago we had only two separators in our county. To-day there must be fifty. Our association has established a successful co-operative creamery and fresh-egg business. We have been able to run the only strictly agricultural fair in the State; no midway, gambling dons, fortune tellers, etc., are allowed. We have also induced our county commissioners to go to work on better roads by taxation. Many things can be accomplished by co-operation. TYPES, BREEDS AKD BREEDING OF FARM ANIMALS. DR. G. A. ROBERTS. By way of introduction, permit me to say that, in having observed farming and live stock raising in the North, South, East and West, it appears to me that most of us could materially profit by breeding and raising more animals. Profitable in two ways: First, directly, from the use or sale of such animals; and second, by maintaining and increasing the productivity of our soils. The increase in number of animals upon our farms should be made gradually, that we may accommodate ourselves and conditions to care for more. Such an increase would The Bulletin. 83 likely be made if we did more breeding and less buying of animals. Other people are niaivhi;at products.

Shipstuff. — The term shipstuff should be applied only to mixtures of wheat products. It is generally applied to mixtures of bran and middlii]gs and reground bran. It is frequently misused and applied to mixtures of wheat products and corn chops or corn bran, and some- times to a mixture of wheat, corn and oat products.

CORN PEODUCTS. Bran. — This is the outer coating of the corn grain. It has a low feedino; value and is used to some extent as an adulterant for wheat products. Its chief use is in mixed feeds and corn chops. Average analysis (2 samples): Protein 7.00 per cent; fat .2.82 per cent; fiber 11.89 per cent; nitrogen-free extract 65.44 per cent; water 11.08 per cent; ash 1.77 per cent. Corn Chops. — This product is quite variable in the ingredients of which it is composed, sometimes being composed of the entire grain and ground rather coarse, while in other cases it is composed of parts of the grain with the addition of reground bran and cob meal. The following analysis is the average of seven samples of corn prod- ucts: Protein 8.78 per cent; fat 5.04 per cent; fiber 5.22 per cent; nitrogen-free extract 71.50 per cent; water 7.68 per cent; ash 1.78 per cent. Other names used for this class of products are Hominy Feed and Hominy Chops. Corn and Cob Meal. — Corn, together with the cob which bears it. are frequently ground together to form what is known as corn and cob meal. In such cases the cobs are not considered an adulterant, provided the amount of cobs does not exceed that which would normally be present with the grain, i. e., 14 pounds of cobs to 56 pounds of grain. Average analysis: Protein 8.50 per cent; fat 3.50 per cent; fiber 6.60 per cent; nitrogen-free extract 64.80 per cent; water 15.10 per cent; ash 1.50 per cent.f Cracked C*o?-n.— This is the whole grain coarsely crushed. On account of the coarseness this product is not very liable to adultera- tion, the only source of trouble being that it is sometimes made from low-grade or spoiled corn.

Corncobs. — (See adulterants.) Gluten Feed. — This is a by-product from the manufacture of starch and sugar from corn, and consists of the bran, gluten and germ, or it is all the products of the corn grain less the starch. The following brief description of the manufacture of gluten feeds was very kindly furnished the author by a prominent com products manufacturing company. The shelled corn as it is received at the mill is thoroughlv cleaned and soaked for a few days in water until it has softened to a sufficient The Bulletin. 13 degree so that it can be torn apart by mills made for the purpose and the germ or chit of the corn liberated. This is then floated off in long tanks, the remainder of the corn passing off at the bottom. The germ of the corn thus freed from the other portions is washed to remove the adhering starch, dried, ground between steel rolls, cooked in a steam cooker and pressed in hydraulic presses to remove the oil. The residue after the oil has been pressed out forms corn oil cake of commerce and is used as a cattle food to a certain extent in this country, but more especially abroad. The corn oil is used for a variety of purposes, among which the manufacture of soap and edible oils are perhaps chief. The portion of the corn remaining after the removal of the germ consists of bran, gluten and starch. This is ground in stone mills such as were formerly use'd in the grinding of wheat for flour, only the process throughout is a wet process. After passing through the mills the material runs onto shakers covered with silk bolting cloth, through which the starch and gluten of the corn pass, while the bran remains on the upper surface and finally shakes off at the end. The separation of the starch from the gluten is ob- tained by means of gravity. The mixture of starch and gluten is run onto long, slightly inclined troughs called starch tables, and as it flows slowly from one end to the other the starch settles to the bottom while the more finely divided particles of gluten remain in suspension in the water and finally flow off at the end. The gluten which was separated from the starch on the starch tables is mixed with the bran from the shakers and mixture is filter pressed to remove as much water as possible. The press cakes thus obtained are broken up, dried and ground. This material is known as gluten feed. In some instances gluten feeds are colored with a yellow coloring matter to give them a more attractive appearance. The acidity of gluten feeds is caused, primarily, by the protein compounds of the feed and does not detract from the value of the feed. Average analysis (4 samples): Protein 26.06 per cent; fat 3.04 per cent; fiber 7.33 per cent; nitrogen-free extract 53.16 per cent; water 6.89 per cent; ash 3.52 per cent. OAT PRODUCTS. Whole oats are used to a large extent as a cattle feed. In addition to this, the by-products from the milling of oats in the manufacture of rolled oats and other breakfast foods form an important source of concentrates for feeding. The following descriptions of the by-products from the milling of oats are taken partly from the descriptions furnished the author by a prominent manufacturer. Oat hulls consist of the outer covering of the oat grain. Oat middlings consist of the finer particles of the oat groat that are broken off or sifted out in the process of manufacturing rolled oats. 14 The Bulletin. The middlings will include some flour and some of the finer particles of the oat groat. They are styled No. 1 and 'No. 2, because one is a coarser product that the other, having been sifted through different sized screens. Nubbins or heads consist of the portion that comes off in the clipping of the oat. They include the small ends of the groat and also a very small portion of the end of the hull. Dust is the little silken ends or hairs that grow at the end of the groat, and are taken off in the course of manufacture. The following table shows the composition of whole oats and various by-products described above: ANALYSES OF OAT PRODUCTS. Fat (NX6.25) ^Sact). Protein % % Fiber. % Nitrojen- frce Extract. % Water.

These by-products are put on the market in the form of oat feeds, which are mixtures of the several by-products in varying proportions according to the quality of the feed that the manufacturer wishes to make, and they are also used to a considerable extent in mixed feeds, usually sold under a trade name, where they are mixed with alfalfa meal, cracked corn, corn meal, etc. The objection to the use of oat hulls in feeds has been that un- scrupulous manufacturers have used them in large amount in mixed feeds and covered up their identity by the use of molasses or syrup. In this way they have come to be classed with the feed adulterants. When used as a diluent for the more concentrated oat products in the same manner that cotton-seed hulls are used to dilute the con- centrated cotton-seed meal there can be no more objection to their use than there is to the use of cotton-seed hulls, provided they are not used in excess, and their presence is shown by the proper labeling. As will be seen from the analyses above, a very satisfactory feed can be made by properly mixing these products which can be used as an oat feed or mixed with other materials in making the mixed feeds which are in large demand on the markets at present. The Bulletin. 15 RICE PRODUCTS. The by-products from the milling of rice consists of hulls, bran and polish. Bice Hulls. — Rice hulls are the outer coating of the rice grain. Thej are composed principally of fibrous material, with a large amount of mineral matter, and are worthless as a feed. The hulls are found to some extent in rice meal and bran, and when present in any considerable amount are considered as an adulterant. For analyses, see adulterants. Bice Bran. — Rice bran is the thin coating of the grain lying next to the hull. Average analysis: Protein, 12.10 per cent; fat, 8.80 per cent; fiber, 9.50 per cent; nitrogen-free extract, 49.90 per cent; water, 9.70 per cent ; ash, 10.00 per cent.f Bice Polish. — After the hulls and bran have been removed the rice grains are polished before being put on the market. This process re- moves the thin coating lying next to the rice grain. It is sold for feed under the name of rice polish. Average analysis : Protein, 11.70 per cent ; fat, 7.30 per cent ; fiber, 6.30 per cent ; nitrogen-free extract, 58.00 per cent ; water, 10.00 per cent; ash, 6.70 per cent.f Bice Meal. — Rice meal usually consists of a mixture of rice bran and polish, frequently with the addition of varying amounts of hulls. Average analysis (11 'samples) : Protein, 11.54 per cent ; fat, 11.49 per cent; fiber, 9.96 per cent; nitrogen-free extract, 47.77 per cent; water, 9.42 per cent ; ash, 9.82 per cent. DRIED BEET PULP. Dried Beet Pulp is the by-product from the manufacture of sugar from sugar beets. After the sugar has been extracted from the ground beets the pulp remaining is dried and put on the market as a feed. Average analysis (6 samples): Protein, 9.18 per cent; fat, 0.96 per cent; fiber, 17.71 per cent; nitrogen-free extract, 60.24 per cent; water, 8.29 per cent; ash, 3.62 per cent. MOLASSES FEEDS. Molasses feeds consist principally of mill by-products mixed with molasses. These feeds vary a great deal in the ingredients of which they are composed, many of them being composed of nutritious in- gredients and of good quality, while others contain only low-grade materials the identity of which is covered up by molasses. The in- gredients found in the feeds examined are as follows : Mill screenings (frequently containing considerable amount of weed seed), wheat middlings, malt sprouts, corn meal, oat hulls, cotton-seed meal, dried brewers' grains, barley, barley hulls, cracked corn, dried distillers' 16 The Bulletin. grains, rice hulls, and a few have a small amount of salt added to them. Molasses is a carbohydrate, and when properly mixed with mate- rials which contain protein and fat makes a very satisfactory feed. The only danger in buying this class of goods is that some manufac- turers use the molasses to cover up worthless adulterants in the feeds. Mill screenings have been found to compose a large part of some of these feeds. This introduces into the feed a large quantity of weed seeds. Experiments at several stations have shown that in many cases weed seeds when fed to animals are not affected by the digestive process, and hence a large amount of viable weed seeds are left in the manure. When feeds contain considerable amounts of weed seeds the purchaser is not only paying for worthless materials, but is in- troducing weeds on his land. Oat hulls, barley hulls and rice hulls, all of which are practically worthless as feeds, have been found in considerable quantities in some of these feeds. From the tabulated analyses it will be seen that there are several brands of molasses feeds on the market which are of good quality, and it will also be seen that there are several brands in which the molasses is used merely as a cover for low-grade materials and adulterants. The samples of Mueller's Molasses Grains examined show this brand to be a uniformly low grade and adulterated product. With the ex- ception of this brand the molasses feeds examined this year show a decided improvement over last year in the ingredients of which they are composed. This is particularly noticeable in the amount of weed seeds present. The quantity found this year is not only less, but in many instances the screenings carrying these seeds have been ground, which prevents them from spreading noxious weeds on the farm. The feeds sold as "Dairy Feeds" are usually from three to five per cent higher in protein than those sold as "Feeds" and "Horse and Mule Feeds." They contain some concentrated material such as cot- ton-seed meal or oil meal which increases the per cent of protein. Several brands of these feeds contain a small amount of salt, rang- ing from one-half to one per cent. This is added to make the feed more appetizing to the animal and is not objectionable when only a small amount is added and the fact plainly stated on the label. ALFALFA FEEDS. The rapid growth of the industry of grinding alfalfa hay into meal has recently put on the market a large number of mixed feeds in which alfalfa is the principal ingredient. Various materials are mixed with the meal to increase the percentage of fat and make them more nearly balanced feeds. The materials which have been found in the brands on the markets are as follows: Cracked corn, oats, oat products, cotton-seed meal, linseed meal, corn meal, dried brewers' grains, wheat bran and middlings. As will be seen from the analysis, The Bulletin. 17 these feeds are composed of nutritions ingredients, and in only a few cases have low-grade materials been introduced into them. Several brands of these feeds contain a small amount of salt, rang- ing from a trace to a little over one-half of one per cent. COTTON-SEED MEAL FEEDS. Cotton-seed meal which does not come up to the standard of 6.18 per cent nitrogen may be sold as feed meal and labeled with a feed guarantee in place of a nitrogen guarantee. During the past year there has been an increased demand for a low-grade cotton-seed meal or a meal-and-hull mixture for feeding purposes. This has caused to be placed on the market quite a number of brands of meal and hull mixtures sold under the names of '^Cotton- seed Meal Feed," 'Teed Meal," etc. This class of feeds vary very widely in their composition, some guaranteeing as low as ten per cent protein while others guarantee thirty-eight per cent protein. These mixtures appear to be filling a demand for a medium grade concentrate, higher in protein than the average mill product and lower in protein than cotton-seed meal. The purchaser should pay especial attention to the price of these mixtures as compared with cotton-seed meal to see that he is not pay- ing a higher price for his protein in this diluted form than he is pay- ing in the more concentrated cotton-seed meal. LINSEED MEAL. Linseed meal or oil meal is the residue from the extraction of oil from flaxseed. The oil is extracted by two processes, known as the old process and the new process. In the old process the oil is ex- tracted by pressure and in the new process a solvent is used. On account of the extraction being more complete when a solvent is used, the old process meal is richer in fat, while the new process meal is slightly higher in protein. Old Process Meal — Average analysis (2 samples) : Protein, 33.87 per cent; fat, 6.08 per cent; fiber, 7.29 per cent; nitrogen-free ex- tract, 37.89 per cent; water, 9.60 per cent; ash, 5.27 per cent. N"ew Process Meal — Protein, 32.20 per cent; fat, 3.00 per cent; fiber, 9.50 per cent; nitrogen-free extract, 38.40 per cent; water, 10.10 per cent; ash, 5.80 per cent.f PEANUT MEAL. Peanut meal is the ground cake resulting from the extraction of oil from peanuts. This makes a very rich feed. Frequently con- siderable quantities of peanut hulls are ground with cake. This lowers the value of the meal considerably, as the hulls are practically worthless as a feed. Average analysis (3 samples) : Protein, 29.50 per cent; fat, 11.38 18 The Bulletin. per cent; fiber, 22.73 per cent; nitrogen-free extract, 26.93 per cent; water, 5.78 per cent; ash, 3.68 per cent. BREWERY AND DISTILLERY BY-PRODUCTS. Dried Brewers' Grains. — Dried brewers' grains are dried barley grains after they have undergone the process of malting, by which the soluble dextrin and sugar are extracted. Average analysis: Protein, 19.90 per cent; fat, 5.60 per cent; fiber, 11.00 per cent; nitrogen-free extract, 51.70 per cent; water, 8.20 per cent; ash, 3.60 per cent.f Malt Sprouts. — The small radicles which germinate from the bar- ley in the process of malting are known as malt sprouts. Average analysis: Protein, 23.20 per cent; fat, 1.70 per cent; fiber, 10.70 per cent; nitrogen-free extract, 48.50 per cent; water, 10.20 per cent; ash, 5.70 per cent.f Dried Distillers' Grains. — Distillers' grains are a by-product from the manufacture of whiskey and alcohol. In the feeds on sale in the State this year the above three products have been found only as ingredients in mixed feeds. SPECIAL MIXED FEEDS. In this class are grouped mixtures of two or more products which are sold under a trade name. These usually consist of wheat and corn products, in a few instances with the addition of cotton-seed meal or linseed meal. The present feed law requires the statement on the tag of the in- gredients of which a feed is composed, and with this class of feeds the purchaser should be careful to note that this statement is made on all tags. POULTRY FEEDS. A number of brands of poultry and chick feeds were found on the markets. The ingTcdients of which these feeds are usually composed are cracked corn, whole oats, barley, kaffir corn, peas, wheat, buck- wheat, millet, sunflower seed, and in some brands ground limestone. The average price of these mixtures is $2.38 per 100 pounds. Comparing this with the price of the principal ingredients, it is seen that cracked corn can be bought for $2.00, wheat for $2.00, and oats for $1.87 per 100 pounds. The consumer is, then, paying from 38 to 51 cents per 100 pounds more for the mixture than he would pay for the principal ingredients. The chick feeds are usually composed of the same ingredients which have been partially ground. Two brands of meat meal or beef scrap were found on the markets. These are very concentrated feeds, being high in protein and fat. The samples examined were all of good grade. Th]? Bulletin. 19 MISCELLANEOUS MIXED FEEDS. In this class are grouped feeds which are sold under the name Mixed Feed, Mill Feed and Feed. These are usually mixtures of wheat products, wheat and corn products, and cotton-seed meal. As with other classes of mixed feeds, the manufacturers are re- quired to state on the tag the ingredients which compose them, and the purchaser should pay special attention to see that this is done. SALT IN FEEDS. It has been found that some manufacturers of mixed feeds now add salt, in small quantity, to the feeds. The molasses feeds and the alfalfa mixed feeds are usually the ones in which salt is found. A number of samples of feeds of these two classes were examined and salt was found in several of them, the amount varying from a few tenths of one per cent to slightly over one per cent. The presence of a very small amount of salt in a mixed feed is not objectionable, but in all cases where it is added the fact should be plainly stated on the tag. ADULTERANTS. The following materials when mixed with feeds without sufficient labeling to indicate their presence are considered adulterants: corn bran, rice hulls, ground corncobs, peanut hulls, peanut middlings, oat hulls, mill sweepings, screenings, cotton-seed hulls, and similar products.

When of general interest or when it will facilitate the enforcement of the Food Law, examinations Avill be made of food or beverages for parties within the State, provided samples of same are taken and sent to the Food Chemist in accordance with instructions from the Department, and the required information concerning the sample is furnished. Results of analyses are sent to parties sending samples and parties from whom samples are obtained by the Department, as well as the manufacturer of the products. It is the desire of the Department to put information into the hands of manufacturers, dealers and consumers of food, and to assist them in every way it can to know and manufacture, handle and use the best, most desirable and most wholesome food products. The Food Control is in the interest of the honest manufacturer, the honest dealer, and for the protection of the consumer. EXTRACT FROM FOOD LAW The following extract from the Pure Food law is very important, and the same is herewith printed in order that the grocerymen may become more familiar with the requirements of the law. State Food Law, section 6, defines and describes what constitutes food adulteration. Section 7 defines and describes what constitutes the misbranding of food products. Section 9 provides for a guaranty by which the retail dealer may be exempt from prosecution for vio- lation of the law. EXTRACT FROM FOOD LAW. Sec. 6. That for the purpose of this act an article shall be deemed to be adulterated, in the case of food — First. If any substance has been mixed or packed with it, so as to reduce or lower or injuriously affect its quality or strength. Second. If any substance has been substituted, wholly or in part, for the article. Third. H any valuable constituent of the article has been wholly or in part abstracted. Fourth. If it be mixed, colored, powdered, coated or stained in a manner whereby damage or inferiority is concealed. Fifth. If it contains any added poisonous or other added deleterious ingre- dient which may render such article injurious to health. If it contains any of the following substances, which are hereby declared deleterious and dangerous to health when added to human food, to wit: Colors which contain antimony, arsenic, barium, lead, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, uranium or zinc; or the following colors: gamboge, corallin, picric acid, aniline, or any of the coal-tar dyes; dulcin, glucin, or any other artificially or synthetically prepared substitute for sugar except saccharine; paraffin, formaldehyde, beta-naphthol, abrastol, benzoic acid or benzoates, salicylic acid or salicylates, boric acid or borates, sulphurous acid or sulphites, hydrofluoric acid or any fluorine com- pounds, sulphuric acid or potassium sulphate or wood alcohol : Provided, that catsups and condimental sauces may, when the fact is plainly and legibly stated in the English language on the wrapper and label of the package in which it is The Bulletin. 7 retailed, contain not to exceed two-tenths of one per cent of benzoic acid or its equivalent in sodium bcnzoate. Fermented liquors may contain not to exceed two-tenths of one per cent of combined sulphuric acid, and not to exceed eight- thousandths of one per cent of sulphurous acid. Sixth. Tf it consists in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed or putrid animal or vegetable substance, or any portion of an animal unfit for food, whether manufactured or not, or if it is the product of a diseased animal or one that had died otherwise than by slaughter. In addition to the ways already provided, sausage shall be deemed to be adulterated if it is composed in any part of liver, lungs, kidneys or other viscera of animals: Provided, that the use of animal intestines as sausage casings shall not be deemed to be an adulter- ation. Seventh. If it differs in strength, quality or purity from the standards of purity of food products that have been or may be from time to time adopted by the Board of Agriculture. Sec. 7. That the term "misbranded," as used herein, shall apply to all drugs or articles of food, or articles which enter into the composition of food, the package or label of which shall bear any statement, design or device regarding such article or the ingredients or substances contained therein which shall be false or misleading in any particular, and to any food or drug product which is falsely branded as to the State, Territory or country in which it is manu- factured or produced. That for the purpose of this act an article shall also be deemed to be mis- branded, in the case of food — First. If it be an imitation of or offered for sale under the distinctive name of another article. Second. If it be labeled or branded so as to deceive or mislead tlie purchaser, or purport to be a foreign product when not so, or if the contents of the package as originally put up shall have been removed, in whole or in part, and other contents shall have been placed in such package, or if it fail to bear a state- ment on the label of the quantity or proportion of any morphine, opium, cocaine, heroin, alpha or beta eucaine, chloroform, cannabis indica, chloral hydrate or acetanilide, or any derivative or preparation of any such substances contained therein. Third. If in package form, and the contents are stated in terms of weight or measure, they are not plainly and correctly stated on the outside of the package. Fourth. If the package containing it or its label shall bear any statement, design or device regarding the ingredients or the substances contained therein, which statement, design or device shall be false or misleading in any particular: Provided, that an article of food which does not contain any added poisonous or deleterious ingredients shall not be deemed to be adulterated or misbranded in the following cases: First. In the case of mixtures or compounds which may be now or from time to time hereafter known as articles of food under their own distinctive names, and not an imitation of or offered for sale under the distinctive name of another article, if the name be accompanied on the same label or brand with a state- ment of the place where said article has been manufactured or produced. Second. In the case of articles labeled, branded or tagged so as to plainly indicate that they are compounds, imitations or blends, and the word "com- pound," "imitation" or "blend," as the case may be, is plainly stated on the package in which it is offered for sale: Provided, the labeling is according to the rules prescribed by the Board of Agriculture: Provided, that the term "blend," as used herein, shall be construed to mean a mixture of like sub- stances, not excluding harmless coloring or flavoring ingredients used for the purpose of coloring and flavoring only. Sec. 9. That no dealer shall be prosecuted under the provisions of this act when he can establish a guaranty signed by the wholesaler, jobber, manufacturer or other party, residing in North Carolina, from whom he purchased such articles, to the effect that the same is not adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of this act, designating it. 8 The Bulletin. RULES OF THE STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE UNDER THE FOOD LAW IN REGARD TO LABELING FOOD PRODUCTS. A label must be, as far as possible, attached to each package, and contain, in addition to other information, the name of the material, the name and address of the manufacturer, importer or jobber. When the words "artificial," "imitation," "compound," "adulterated," or other words of similar import, are required, they must be on the principal label and immediately precede or follow the word or words they modify, which must be the principal word or words of the label, and be in at least half the size and same style of type and on the same kind of background as the word or words \vith which they are closely associated. The principal words in the label must be printed in either dark-colored letters on a light-colored background or light- colored letters on a dark-colored background. Any statement that is required on the principal label of a barrel or cask of molasses, mo- lasses compound, syrup or compound syrup, vinegar or compound vinegar, must appear on one end or head of the barrel or cask ; and if the principal label or any part of it appears on both ends of barrel or cask, they shall be identical, one to the other. The label on bottled soft drinks must bear the name and address of the bottler. Where the presence of preservatives, coloring matter or other sub- stance or substances is required to be printed on the label, the print- ing must be done clearly and conspicuously on the label, in type not smaller than brevier heavy gothic caps, and on the same kind of back- ground as the rest of the label. Eetail dealers, while offering food or beverage for sale, must keep the label so that it may be seen by purchaser or inspector, and the label must be so kept that it will remain legible. ACTION OF THE COMMISSIONER RELATIVE TO THE USE OF BENZOATE. As the highest authorities differ regarding the effect of benzoate of soda on digestion and health, and as it appears that the constitution- ality of the State law that forbids its use in food depends largely upon its effect on health, and as the attorney for the Department, under the circumstances, advises it, until further notice no prosecu- tion will be made for the use of benzoate of soda in food in quantities not exceeding one-tenth of one per cent (0.1), provided that its pres- ence is plainly stated on the principal label of the package in letters not smaller than eight point (brevier) caps. The Bulletin. 9 THE USE OF CHEMICAL PRESERVATIVES IN FOOD PRODUCTS. When the food report for 1909 was published it was hoped that before another annual report was to be made that the constitution- ality of State laws that forbid the use of chemical preservatives in food would be decided by the Federal courts. The matter is still before the court in an injunction suit by a manufacturer to prevent officials from enforcing the State laws. The evidence has been taken, the arguments have been made, and the matter is now in the hands of the court for decision. From the attitude of many officials, if the State laws are held to be constitutional, it is evident that the use of benzoate in food will be prohibited in many States. The attention of dealers of this State is called to the following article which was published in the food report of this Department for 1909, and is reprinted here because of the importance of the subject : "Food products that contain much moisture naturally tend to de- compose or decay, especially in warm weather. Various means, such as drying, sterilizing by heat in air-tight containers, preserving and pickling with the natural food preservatives, such as sugar, salt, vine- gar, spices, etc., are' employed to prevent the decomposition of such products and to keep them in a suitable condition for food. These processes have long been in use and are recognized as being whole- some. These natural food preservatives are sometimes supplemented with another class of preservatives known as antiseptics or chemical preservatives, which are more or less poisonous in their nature. "While all food . products can be kept in good condition by the natural methods above mentioned, there are a few, such as crushed fresh fruit, apple cider, etc., to which the application of the natural methods tend to either render less desirable or too expensive for general use. In these few products there is some reason for the use of a chemical preservative to keep them in good condition ; but in most products, especially in such as condensed milk, canned meats, canned soups, canned vegetables, canned fruit, mince-meat, preserves, jam, jelly, pickles, etc., there is absolutely no need for the use of a chemical preservative. The high-class manufacturers of this coun- try have shown beyond a doubt that chemical preservatives are un- necessary in such products. A few manufacturers claim that a bet- ter product can be made by the use of a chemical preservative than can be made without it. The facts in the case, however, do not bear out their statement. The results of the examinations of this Depart- ment during the past ten years show that chemical preservatives have not been used in the higher class products ; but, on the contrary, they were found in the lower, cheaper grades, that were often otherwise 10 The Bulletin. adulterated. If a better product can be made by the use of a chem- ical preservative, then why has the use of the chemical preservative been confined so much to the inferior and often otherwise adulterated products instead of the higher class ones ? And why have most of the high-class manufacturers either never used or have discontinued the use of chemical preservatives? It would seem that the only con- clusion is that the preservative was not and is not used to improve the quality of the product, but to cheapen it. That being the case, then why use a product that contains a chemical that may be injurious to health ? The effect of benzoate of soda on health is a disputed ques- tion, of course; but why take the risk of permanent injury to health that may produce an earlier death when there is no need for it? "After having made experiments for the government to test the effect of benzoate of soda on health, one set of officials say that it is injurious to health; another set say that it is not. Many State of- ficials think the use of benzoate in food objectionable, and the Medi- cal Association of America, composed of the leading physicians of the country, has condemned its use in food. Then, if just as good products can be made without the use of benzoate as can be made with it, why use a product that is questionable and probably injurious to health ? If benzoate is injurious to health, or even questionable, the question arises, then, why not prevent its use in food by law? The answer is this: If benzoate in food is not injurious to health, the State probably can not prevent its use. Today no man can say with certainty that it is or is not injurious to health. Manufacturers only who profit by its use have questioned the constitutional right of States to prohibit its use. The matter is now before the Federal courts to determine whether States have the power to prevent the use of benzoate or not. "It is to be hoped that the matter will soon be settled by the courts. Until that time we can only warn the public of the possible danger and advise against the use of benzoate in food." The Bulletin. 11 SUMMARY OF RESULTS FOR COMPARISON.

Butter is the clean, nonrancid product made by gathering in any manner the fat of fresh or ripened milk or cream into a mass, which also contains a small portion of the other milk constituents, with or without salt, and contains not less than 82.50 per cent of milk fat. Kenovated butter, process butter, is the product made by melting butter and working, without the addition or use of chemicals or any substance except milk, cream or salt, and contains at least 82.50 per cent of milk fat and not more than 16 per cent of water. Oleomargarine, oleo or butterine is a substitute for butter, made from other and cheaper fats than butter. It is manufactured so as to improve its granulation and texture, and a more or less butter-like flavor and odor are imparted to it by churning it with milk, skim- milk, cream or buttermilk, or, possibly, by mixing a small amount of butter with it.

They contained fats other than milk fat, as will be seen bj reference to the table below. One sample proved to be a compound butter and another a renovated butter, but they were sold as such, so the law was not violated. By reference to the table below it will be seen that the law was violated in the sale of 6 samples because of short weight, the packages having been sold for one pound packages when in fact the actual weight was only from 10 to 14 ounces each. This is a form of violation that appears to be very prevalent, and the attention of dealers is hereby called to the vio- lation of the law by the sale of short weight packages, and in the future such violations will be prosecuted.

While tomato catsup is probably the most popular of all such condiments, there are many other catsups and sauces on the market. Formerly most of these condiments were artificially colored with bright-colored coal-tar dyes and preserved with chemical preserva- tives. As has been stated before, there is possibly some excuse for the use of chemical preservatives in this class of products, but there can be none for the use of the coal-tar dyes, and since they have been so severely condemned their use has to a large extent disappeared. Most high class manufacturers have discontinued the use of both the coal-tar dye and the chemical preservative. It is, however, still RESULTS OF THE EXAMINATION o a j2 Material and Brand from Label.

When the fact is plainly stated on the label no objection is made to the use of 0.2 per cent of benzoate of soda in tomato catsup. Sample No. 8383, made by the Horton Cato Manufacturing Com- pany, was found to contain benzoate without the presence of the latter being stated on the label.

Coffee is the seed of a small tree, coffea, whose fleshy fruit is about the size of a small cherry, and contains two seeds joined on their flat sides, which when freed from the pulp and the enveloping mem- brane are the coffee beans of commerce.

There are a large number of imitation ciders on the market, pre- sumably made from fruit extracts, but which are made from chemical flavors. A pure fruit juice or cider is a wholesome beverage, but the imitation products are usually objectionable and should not be used. Six samples of these products were examined, all belonging to the imitation class. They can hardly be regarded as adulterated, for, as has been stated before, the product itself is, in most cases, as worthless as any material that could be added to them.

Roasted coffee is coffee which by the action of heat has become brown and developed its characteristic aroma, and contains not less than 10 per cent of fat and 3 per cent of ash. The principal action or stimulating constituent of coffee is caffeine, a white, bitter crystallizable substance. 32 The Bulletin. The principal material which is used to mix with and adulterate coffee is chicory, though the roasted roots of dandelions, beets and carrots, as well as many cereals and leguminous seeds, such as wheat, rye, barley, beans and peas are often used. Attempts have been made to imitate the coffee bean, but it has been a failure, and the only successful adulteration is the addition of a substitute to the ground product. The consuming public is therefore cautioned re- garding the purchase of ground coffee. There are a great many brands of so-called coffee on the market that contain from 20 to 60 per cent of chicory. The manufacturers of these products generally claim that the chicory is added not to adulterate, but to actually improve the quality and strength of the coffee. This claim does not seem to be well founded, and is mis- leading to the public. Chicory, when roasted, contains a large amount of caromel and other soluble matter that imparts to the product, when made into a liquid for use as a beverage, a black, thick, soup-like appearance. The effect produced in coffee by the presence of chicory can no more correctly be regarded as adding strength to the coffee than if so much roasted starch and caromel had been added to it. Chicory is not added to coffee to give it strength, but to cheapen the product. The cost of chicory ranges from about one- fourth to one-eighth of the cost of coffee, depending upon the quality of both. The State food law provides that a product is adulterated : 1. If any substance has been mixed or packed with it so as to reduce or lower its quality or strength. 2. If any substance has been substituted wholly or in part for the article. Under the law the addition of anything to coffee that reduces or lowers its strength or value is an adulterant. The addition of chicory to coffee reduces or lowers its quality and strength and is.

Chicory, cereals, or legumes added to coffee reduces and lowers the value of the coffee, and a product containing one-fourth or one-half chicory, etc., is worth practically one-fourth or one-half less than an equal amount of the same coffee. Then why buy coffee and chicory or coffee and cereals at the price of coffee ? The sale of coffee and chicory as such is legal under the law, but why pay the price of coffee for a product that is worth much less than coffee? It is advisable to buy the unground coffee and have it ground, then you know that you are getting what you buy. Under the head of coffee and coffee substitutes 57 samples were examined, 23 of which were unground roasted coffees, and 34 were ground. Of the 34 ground samples 8 of them contained chicory or cereals in amounts ranging from 20 to GO per cent. Because the roasted or parched chicory and cereals, containing a large amount of coloring matter, impart a black and soup-like appearance to the product, manufacturers who use them in their coffee claim that they give strength to it. From the best information on the subject this claim is untrue, and the chicory and cereals are added only to cheapen the product and enlarge the manufacturer's profits. Sample ISTo. 7580, a compound of chicory and cereals with coffee, is offered for sale under what the manufacturer terms a trade or proprietary name, "]\Ioney Saver." These words appear to be mis- leading. The State Food Law provides that a product is deemed to be misbrandcd if the label bears any statement that is untrue or mis- leading in any particular. From the composition and price of this article it would appear that the words "Money Saver" are mislead- ing, and if so the product is misbranded. However, the public is cautioned that this product is not coffee and can not be offered for sale as such.

When fresh they are rich and nourishing, and when properly prepared very digestible. Their use is too well known to be commented on here. Used as they generally are it would appear that eggs could not be adulterated, but the law provides that a food product is deemed to be adulterated if it consists in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal or vegetable substance unfit for food, whether manufactured or not. A food product is deemed to be misbranded if any statement is made on the label or otherwise that is deceptive or misleading to the purchaser. The sale of spoiled or decomposed eggs is a violation of the law. If eggs are represented by the dealer to be fresh when they are not fresh, the sale is a violation of the law.

Bv reference to the table below, it will be seen that every sample con- tained one or more eggs that were not fresh, and two of the samples contained eggs that wore so badly spoiled that when broken they were very offensive. So in every case where the eggs were repre- sented to be fresh the law was violated. As this is the first examination under the law no prosecution ha? been recommended for these offenses, but dealers are hereby cau- tioned that the sale of spoiled eggs or misrepresentations in the sale of the same will be regarded as a violation of the law and will be prosecuted.

Flour is the fine, clean, sound product made by bolting wheat meal and contains not more than 13.5 per cent of moisture, not less than 1.25 per cent of nitrogen, not more than 1 per cent of ash, and not more than 0.50 per cent of fiber. Flour is the most extensively used food product in this country, and bread made from pure wheat flour is far more nutritious and more nearly a perfect food than is generally supposed by mosi persons. Very little adulteration is found in flour, except the bleaching oi it by the use of nitrogen peroxide, a poisonous gas. A food product is adulterated: If it be mixed, colored, bleached, powdered, coated or stained in a manner whereby damage or inferiority is concealed, or if it contains any added poisonous or other added deleterious ingre- dient which may render such article injurious to health. Investigations have shown that in the bleaching of flour by the Alsop process both classes of adulteration exist. The bleaching agent, nitrogen peroxide, is a poisonous substance and is left in the flour after the bleaching is completed. By bleaching, low grade flours are made to appear like high grade products, the appearance of them being improved without improving their quality. The Alsop Process Company, which owns the patent right for the bleaching process, has made the greatest effort possible to prevent food officials from enforcing the law against the bleaching of flour. They have employed, at tremendous cost, the very best scientific and legal talent that is to be had in this country, but the officials have so far won in every case tried, the most important of which is the one RESULTS OF THE EXAM Material and Brand from Label. 7024 Flour, Star. 7025 Flour, Purity. 7026 Flour, All Wheat. 7027 Flour, White Lily. 7028Flour, Hlco. 7029 Flour, Morning Star. 7030 Flour, White Lily ... 7031 Flour.

The court found: 1. Flour bleached by the Alsop process contains added poisonous-^ and deleterious ingredients, which render the flour injurioup to health. 2. Flour bleached by the Alsop process contains a substance known as nitrites, which reduces, lowers and injuriously affects the quality and strength of the flour. 3. Flour bleached by the Alsop process is mixed, colored and stained in a manner whereby damage or inferiority is concealed. 4. For these reasons flour bleached by the Alsop process is adul- terated within the meaning of the Food Law, and that the character of the adulteration is such that no statement upon the package or label will bring bleached flour within the law. Practically the above decision has been reached by several courts both State and Federal, and it is not likely that these decisions wib be reversed by the higher courts. However, when they are con- firmed by the higher courts, officials will then feel absolutely sure of their position, and violations will be more vigorously prosecuted. Six hundred and thirty-one samples of flour have been examined 46 of which were for experimental purposes and not for added adul teration; but of the 55G examined for adulteration 29 were found to have been bleached and therefore adulterated. However, most o:f the 29 samples were very lightly bleached and only 3 or 4 were heavily bleached. When the flour was heavily bleached the sale o"f it as human food was prevented. INATION OF FLOUR.

Eighty-nine samples sold as ice cream were examined, 24 of which proved either to be standard ice cream or were sold under the reiru- lation above mentioned, that provides for the sale of such products, and 65 proved to be below standard and were sold in violation of the law. The milk fat in these samples ranged from 0.56 of one per cent to 24.90 per cent, and all were sold at retail at practically the same price. Is it fair competition for one dealer to sell an ice cream that contains practically 25 per cent of milk fat and another on the same block to sell a product that contains but slightly more than one-half of one per cent ? But to say nothing of the competition, to allow it without the facts being made known would be a great imposition on the consuming public. Dealers can sell low-grade products if they wish, but they must make the facts known to the public. Provision is made for it in the regulation above. In enforcing the food law the Department does not desire to make it a hardship on the dealers, but the consuming public must be pro- tected, and to do so the law must be enforced. Dealers are hereby notified that if they wish to sell an ice cream below standard they must make the fact known to the public, as is provided by the regu- lation under the food law, otherwise they will be prosecuted for the violation of the law.

Sirup is the sound product made by purifying and evaporating the juice of a sugar-producing plant without removing any of the sugar. Maple sirup is sirup made by the evaporation of maple sap or by the solution of maple concrete, and contains not more than 32.00 per cent of Avater and not less than 0.45 per cent of maple sirup ash. Formerly maple sirup was adulterated with or substituted by glu- cose sirup, etc., the maple flavoring being imitated by the addition of an extract of maple, hickory or some other bark with a similar flavor; but for some years the chief adulteration has consisted in the addition of refined sugar sirup, the maple sirup present being depended on to flavor the whole, though the maple flavor is often re- inforced by the addition of an extract of bark or an imitation flavor.

Since pure maple sirup consists largely of ordinary sugar, the direct detection of added sugar sirup is, of course, impossible, but its pres- ence is easily shown by the determination of minor constituents which occur in maple products only. With basic lead acetate a copious precipitate, in proportion to the amount of the maple product present, is deposited. Seven samples of maple sirup and maple sirup substitutes were ex- amined, two of which were found to be true maple sirups unadulter- ated; four were adulterated with cane sugar sirup, and one was labeled so as to indicate its compound nature. It was claimed by the dealers that they had had these adulterated sirups on hand for a long time, probably before the National Food Law went in effect. t)6 The Bulletin.

Olive oil is the oil obtained from the sound, mature fruit of the cultivated olive tree. It is a very choice table oil and is largely used. It was formerly much adulterated, but the enforcement of the food laws has reduced the adulteration of it to a minimum. Cooking oils are usually highly refined cotton-seed oils that are becoming very popular. RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS OF ^1 -5Z Material and Brand from Label. Manufacturer or Wholesaler.

Bottled soda waters are made by the addition of water to a sirup prepared for the purpose, and carbonating the same by forcing car- bon dioxide gas into it. The bottling process is comparatively simple, and while many of the bottlers of the State are intelligent men, much of the bottling business is in the hands of men of so little in- telligence that they do not comprehend the law or realize the great danger to which the health of the public may be subjected from the bottling of soft drinks under insanitary conditions, to say nothing of the objectionable material that may go into the product. Many cases of fever and other diseases may originate from the contami- nated water used by one bottling plant. It is realized that inspection should be made of all such plants, and that they should be required to be operated in a sanitary condition, so that they would not en- danger the health and lives of the people ; but funds with which to do the work are not available. The quality of bottled soda waters varies greatly. While a few of them are made from wholesome products, many of them are made RESULTS OF THE EXAMINATION o a Material and Brand from Label.

With many of them it would be difficult to prove that they are really poisonous in the small amount used, but there is hardly any question but what the body would be far better off without them. The labels for these drinks are usually furnished by the manufac- turer of the sirup or flavoring from which the drink is made, and they try very hard to make the label misleading and still stay within the requirement of the law. As the manufacturer of the sirup or flavoring and the labels does not ship the finished product into the State, he can not be held for misbranding under the national law. For this reason the bottler of a product will have to be held strictly responsible for his products under the State law. Fifty-one samples of these products were examined ; many of them were misbranded and not properly labeled, and were, therefore, sold in violation of the law. Bottlers are hereby notified and cautioned that in the future they will be held strictly responsible for misbrand- ing, etc., of their products.

Tea is the leaves and leaf buds of a shrubby plant "Thea," of which there are two distinct varieties, considered by some to be separate species. The tea was first known and cultivated in China, then in Japan, and later in India, Ceylon, Java, Brazil and other countries, and while the teas from India and Ceylon are now coming into extensive use, China and Japan are still the leading tea-produc- ing countries of the world. Both green and black tea are products of the same plant, the difference in color and flavor being due to the methods of prepara- tion. To prepare green tea the leaves are dried by artificial heat immediately after picking, thus preserving the chlorophyl, or green coloring matter. "When a black tea is desired, the leaves are sub- jected, before drying, to a fermentation, which changes the color to black and develops the characteristic flavor. The alkaloid of tea, theine, is identical with that of coffee, caffeine, and to this principle are due the stimulating properties of both. Before food laws were enacted, tea, like many other food products, RES1J|.TS OF THE EX- 3'Z Material and Brand from Label. Manufacturer or Wholesaler.

There are several forms of adulteration of tea practiced. Ex- hausted tea leaves and the leaves of other plants as well as some other materials, such as soapstone, gypsum, etc., are added to tea to make weight and as a polishing agent. After foreign matter, which re- duces its strength, has been added to tea, artificial strength is given it by the addition of catechu and some other materials rich in tannin. Much of the tea on the market is faced or coated to impart a gloss and an attractive color. If that coating or coloring concealed dam- age or inferiority it would, under the law, be clearly an adulteration, but otherwise it is a disputed question. However, it appears to be a senseless custom, and as it increases the cost of production without improving the product, the practice should be discontinued. Sixteen samples of tea were examined, all of which appeared to be of standard quality and no adulteration was found. One sample, No. 5752, was not properly labeled. It should show name and address of packer.

Vinegar is the product made by the alcoholic and subsequent acetous fermentation of the juice of apples, is laevo-rotary, and con- tains not less than 4.00 per cent of acetic acid, not less than 1.60 per cent of apple solids, of which not more than 50.00 per cent are reducing sugars, and not less than 0.25 per cent of apple ash. Wine vinegar is the product made by the alcoholic and subsequent acetous fermentation of the juice of grapes, and contains not less than 4.00 per cent of acetic acid, not less than 1.00 per cent of grape solids, and not less than 0.13 per cent of grape ash. Malt vinegar is the product made by the alcoholic and subsequent acetous fermentation, v^^ithout distillation, of an infusion of barley malt or cereals whose starch has been converted by malt, is dextro- rotary, and contains not less than 4.00 per cent of acetic acid, not less than 2.00 grams of solids, and not less than 0.2 per cent of ash. Distilled spirit vinegar is the product made by the acetous fermen- tation of dilute distilled alcohol, and contains not less than 4.00 per cent acetic acid. The subject of vinegar has been discussed at considerable length in previous reports of this Department, to which, for information not found here, the reader is referred. Vinegar, on long standing, exposed to the air, deteriorates and loses more or less of its acidity and should, therefore, be kept pro- tected from the air.

The sale, as vinegar, of prod- ucts not made from apple cider, seems to be one of the most preva- lent forms of violation of the food laws, and dealers are cautioned that while there is malt vinegar, distilled spirit vinegar, etc., there is but one "vinegar" that can be sold as "vinegar," and that is a product made from apple cider. The sale of anything else as "vine- gar" is a violation of the law and will be prosecuted. Under the head of vinegar 33 samples were examined, 10 only of which proved to be properly branded and labeled, and not adulterated or misrepresented. Two of the 33 were not properly labeled, and 21 or 63.63 per cent of them were adulterated, misbranded or mis- represented, and sold in violation of the law. The Department has spent a great deal of time and money trying to cause the dealers to know and to comply with the requirements of the law, but from the above results it appears that dealers have not taken heed, and the Department will be obliged to prosecute vio- lations.
