KILGORE, STATE CHEMIST, GARDEN. W. G. HAYWOOD, J. M. PICKEL, L. L. BRINKLEY AND S. O. PERKINS. 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 1908. 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 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-calciuni 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. 4 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. 5 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 1908. 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 3% 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 • 5l/ 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: i-t. • inA-rt. Value Per Value Per Ton, Percentage, or Lbs. in 100 Lbs. 100 Lbg 2>()00 Lbs> 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.G5 pounds nitrogen at 19y 2 cents 0.321 X20= G.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 : 6 The Bulletin. Freight Rates from the Seaboard to Interior Points. — From the Published Rates of the Associated Railways of Virginia and the Carolinas. In car-loads, of not less than ten tons each, per ton of 2,000 pounds. Less than car-loads, add 20 per cent. Destination.

COMMENTS ON VARIETY TESTS OF CORN. The variety tests were conducted this year at the Edgecombe, Iredell and Buncombe farms. The soil at the Edgecombe farm devoted to these tests was Norfolk sandy loam, at Iredell Cecil clay and at Buncombe Porter's loam. To eliminate all inequalities in the character of the land, if any, the designated varieties at the different farms were planted each in separate rows, arranged consecutively, and this plan was repeated from two to four times, varying with the length of the rows in order to give the desired acreage to each variety. The varieties are arranged in Table I in the order of their productivity of shelled corn per acre ; also the rank of stover per acre is indicated in the second column. In Table II are brought together the results of varietal tests obtained at the Edgecombe farm during 1900, 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908, and at Iredell during 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908. Results from the testing of the varieties of corn were obtained at the Transylvania farm during 1906 only, and the Buncombe farm has been in operation only one year, 1908. The vigorousness in growth, prolifi- cacy, largeness of ears, percentages of grain and stover, yields, etc., of all varieties tested at the different farms are shown in Tables I, II, III and IV. By consulting Table II it will be seen that the differences in yield of shelled corn per acre on the different farms during the period covered by the tests between the variety yielding the highest and the one the lowest in the individual tests have ranged all the way from 6.2 to 26.6 bushels of shelled corn at the Edgecombe farm during the past nine years, with the number of varieties in the different tests varying from eight to thirty-six; from 12.1 to 13.5 bushels during six years at Iredell, where from nineteen to thirty-seven varieties were employed, and a dif- ference of 24.8 bushels at Transylvania during 1906, where thirty-four varieties were planted, and a difference of 17 bushels at Buncombe in 1908 where twenty-nine varieties were planted. Tables III and IV will be found to contain much valuable data, in plain, compact form, relative to the different characters of corn when grown under widely varying soil and climatic conditions. A careful study of these tables should be made by every corn-growing reader. Table II also gives the average standing of all the varieties at each farm that have been tested continuously since the beginning of the work in the different localities. The varieties which have averaged the high- est yields of shelled corn at the different farms are: At Edgecombe, Cocke's Prolific, Weekley's Improved, Sanders' Improved and Holt's Strawberry ; at Iredell, Weekley's Improved, Sanders' Improved, Cocke's Prolific and Boone County White. NOTES ON VARIETIES OF CORN TESTED IN 1908. Cocke's Prolific, from Edgecombe-grown seed, ranked second in 1900, 1901 and 1904, first in 1902, 1903, 1905 and 1906, eleventh in 1907 and twenty-first in 1908 at the Edgecombe farm; at Iredell, from Edge- combe-grown seed, sixth in 1904, first in 1905, seventh in 1906, sixth in 1907 and fourteenth in 1908 ; second in 1906 at Transylvania, and fifth The Bulletin. 23 in 1908 at Buncombe. The results of comparative varietal tests con- ducted during the past nine years on the test farms indicate this to be a most substantial and reliable variety ; in fact, one of the best varieties thus far tested for growth on the sandy loam soils of the eastern portion of the State. One defect, however, with this variety is that the grains are too short. Weekley's Improved is a very good variety, having ranked first and second at the Iredell and Edgecombe farms as an average of four and seven years' trials, respectively. It is fairly early in maturity, and can be grown with more safety than most of the other varieties when only a short growing season is afforded. At the Edgecombe farm it ranked third in 1900, first in 1901, second in 1902, 1905 and 1906, but in 1903 and 1904 it fell down to tenth and thirteenth places, respectively; in 1907 it ranked third and in 1908 seventh; in 1903 sixth, in 1904 tenth, in 1905 second, in 1906 first, in 1907 fifteenth and in 190S third at Iredell; in 1906 fifth at Transylvania, and in 1908 tenth at Buncombe. This variety has a little smaller ear and cob than Cocke's Prolific. Sanders' Improved, from Georgia-grown seed, ranked fourth in 1900, third in 1901, fourth in 1902 and 1906, seventeenth in 1903, third in 1904, fourth in 1905, eighteenth in 1907 and eighth in 1908 at Edge- combe; tenth in 1903, ninth in 1904, thirteenth in 1905, fifteenth in 1906, sixteenth in 1907 and eighteenth in 1908 at Iredell, and third in 1906 at Transylvania. This variety produces an ear about the size of Cocke's Prolific, but contains a smaller cob by about three to six per cent, and consequently requires about three to five pounds less of corn on the ear, as shown by an average of the- results of the past eight years, to shell a bushel of corn. Holt's Strawberry occupied first place in 1900, sixth in 1901, 1902 and 1906, fifteenth in 1903, twenty-fifth in 1904, seventh in 1905, twenty- second in 1907 and twenty-seventh in 1908 at Edgecombe; eighth in 1903, sixteenth in 1904, nineteenth in 1905 and 1907, twenty-fourth in 1906 and fourth in 1908 at Iredell; second in 1906 at Transylvania, and twenty-sixth in 1908 at Buncombe. It has a much larger ear than Cocke's Prolific and produces a larger percentage of stover. Brake's, as the result of the tests in Edgecombe, the home of the variety, ranked eleventh in 1902, nineteenth in 1903, seventh in 1904, thirteenth in 1905 and 1906, twenty-first in 1907 and fourth in 1908. At Iredell it occupied first place in 1904, seventh in 1905, fifth in 1906, thirteenth in 1907, and seventh in 1908 ; twentieth in 1906 at Transyl- vania, and twenty-seventh in 1908 at Buncombe. This variety has a short, large ear. Learning Yelloiv ranked twelfth in 1902, fourth in 1903, fifteenth in 1904, twenty-first in 1905, twenty-ninth in 1906, twenty-fourth in 1907, and tenth in 1908 at Edgecombe; twelfth in 1903, fourteenth in 1904, twenty-first in 1905 and 1906, twenty-ninth in 1907 and nineteenth in 1908 at Iredell; thirty-second in 1906 at Transylvania, and nineteenth in 1908 at Buncombe. This is a yellow corn that has a strong tendency to produce only one large ear per stalk. It has yielded excellent result - in Indiana, Iowa and Illinois in comparison with other varieties. 24 The Bulletin. Selection 77, from Ohio-grown seed, ranked fifth, sixteenth, eighth, twentieth and twenty-second at Edgecombe, and eleventh, twelfth, twen- ty-fifth, sixteenth and eighth at Iredell in 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906 and 1907, respectively; and twenty-fifth in 1906 at Transylvania. This corn has a larger ear and a slightly greater percentage of shelling capacity than Cocke's Prolific. Riley's Favorite, from Indiana-grown seed, ranked ninth, eighteenth, twenty-fifth, thirteenth and twenty-sixth at the Edgecombe farm ; eighth, twenty-second, twenty-seventh, twelfth, thirty-fourth and twenty-fifth at Iredell in 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908, respectively; twenty- ninth in 1906 at Transylvania. This is a yellow corn, with fairly small and narrow grains. It has a somewhat larger ear than Cocke's Prolific. It is an early maturing variety. Boone County White, from Indiana-grown seed, stood in 1903, 1904, 1906 and 1907 eleventh, twenty-third, eighteenth and tenth at Edge- combe, and fifteenth in 1903, eighth in 1904, fourteenth in 1905, nine- teenth in 1906 and fifth in 1907 at Iredell, and eighteenth in 1906 at Transylvania; while from Tennessee-grown seed it ranked thirteenth, seventeenth, ninth, twenty-eighth and ninth at Edgecombe in 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906 and 1907; seventh in 1904, thirteenth in 1905, fourteenth in 1906 and twenty-third in 1907 at Iredell; and twenty-third in 1906 at Transylvania. This is a large, white-eared variety. Reid's Yellow Dent, from Illinois-grown seed, ranked twelfth in 1903, eighteenth in 1904, twenty-third in 1905, twenty-fourth in 1906 and twelfth in 1907 at Edgecombe; twelfth in 1903, nineteenth in 1904, twentieth in 1905, twenty-second in 1906 and thirty-third in 1907 at Ire- dell; and thirty-third in 1906 at "Transylvania. This is a yellow variety that has done well in the Northwestern States, but has a strong tendency, when grown under Southern conditions, as indicated by our variety tests, to produce only one large ear per stalk and smaller yields per acre than the two-eared varieties. It is medium early in maturity. Marlboro Prolific, from South Carolina-grown seed, from Bureau of Plant Industry, ranked thirteenth in 1903, second in 1904, eleventh in 1905, eighth in 1906, eighteenth in 1907 and twentieth in 1908 at Edgecombe; third in 1903, twelfth in 1905, sixth in 1906, seventh in 1907 and thirtieth in 1908 at Iredell; seventh in 1906 at Transylvania; and second in 1908 at Buncombe. From South Carolina-grown seed, from Excelsior Seed Farm, it ranked fourth in 1907 at Edgecombe. This variety has an ear a little larger in size than Cocke'sProlific and has a decidedly strong tendency to bear more than one ear to each stalk. Iowa Silver Mine, from Illinois seed, ranked fourteenth at both Edge- combe and Iredell farms in 1903 and 1904, twenty-fourth at both in 1905, twenty-first in 1906, twenty-third in 1907 and twenty-second in 1908 at Edgecombe; twenty-sixth in 1906, twenty-fifth in 1907 and twenty-first in 1908 at Iredell; twenty-first in 1906 at Transylvania, and twenty-eighth in 1908 at Buncombe. This is a white, large-e?.red corn that has a smaller percentage of cob to grain than Cocke's Prolific. Its grains are well shaped, showing the effect of prolonged breeding and selection. This is one of the earliest varieties which the Department has tested.

During the past nine years on the test farms of the Department something over fifty varieties of corn have .been studied in comparative field tests. The number of varieties in the different tests has ranged all the way from eight in 1900 to thirty-seven in 1907. The different tests of varieties at the several farms were grown as nearly under the same conditions of soil, fertilization and cultivation as it was possible to provide. To eliminate all inequalities in the character of the land, if any, the varieties at the different farms were planted each in sepa- rate rows, arranged consecutively, and this plan was repeated from three to four times, varying with the length of the rows, in order to give the desired acreage to each variety. By taking these precautions the results obtained should be reliable and highly valuable. WHAT IS A VARIETY? A variety is supposed to represent in a general way a class of plants with one or more distinguishing characteristics, but with a cereal like corn, which crosses so readily, variety does not signify much unless proper precautions have been exercised in its growth. Take some variety of corn, say Cocke's Prolific, that has been bred carefully and intelligently through a number of years for high yield of shelled corn per stalk, and grow it continuously in or adjacent to a field of inferior corn, and in a very short time, especially if proper seed selection is not practiced, it will give much smaller yields, when grown under the same conditions, than the original pure-bred corn ; this being due to the fact that you no longer have pure Cocke's Prolific, but a mixture of "scrub" and Cocke's Prolific corn. This fact empha- sizes the importance of securing seed from reliable parties. 28 The Bulletin. EARLY MATURING VARIETIES. Iowa Silver Mine, Riley's Favorite, Learning Yellow, Reid's Yellow Dent, Boone County Special and Boone County "White are six of the earliest varieties in maturing that have thus far heen tested on the farms of the Department. These were all originated in the northern- central States, where they have been accustomed to a comparatively short growing season, which accounts largely for their inherent tendency to early maturity when grown under Xorth Carolina conditions. Earli- nesSj however, we do not consider an important requisite with corn for this climate, except, possibly, where corn is grown in the mountainous section of the State, or where corn, of necessity, has to be planted late, after the maturity of some crop like Irish potatoes or other truck crop. Under these circumstances it may be well to use one of the varieties mentioned above, especially if experience has taught the farmer that local varieties do not thoroughly mature before frost. MEDIUM MATURING VARIETIES. Biggs' Prolific. Craig's Prolific White, Cocke's Prolific and Craig's Prolific Strawberry mature at a medium date in the fall, and some of these are our most prolific varieties. All these will mature on the different types of soil of the State if planted before July 1. LATE MATURING VARIETIES. It has been found that Holt's Strawberry. Marlboro Prolific, San- ders' Improved, Weekley's Improved and Mosby's Prolific are the latest maturing varieties tested during the past five years. These varieties generally produce a large and tall stalk when grown under conditions as represented by the Iredell farm, i. e.. the results of the past five years' tests at that place indicate as much. VARIETIES ADAPTED TO THE EAST SECTIOX. A study of the results of the variety tests conducted at the Edgecombe farm during the past seven years indicates that the varieties of corn best suited to the fine loamy soils of the eastern and southwestern parts of the State are Cocke's Prolific, Biggs' Seven Ear. Weekley's Im- proved, Marlboro Prolific. Craig's Prolific Strawberry. Sanders' Im- proved and Holt's Strawberry, in about the order in which they are arranged. Cocke's Politic and Biggs' Seven Ear have proven exceed- ingly promising varieties. All these varieties, except Holt's Strawberry and Craig's Prolific Strawberry, are white and prolific, and produce medium to small ears. VARIETIES ADAPTED TO PIEDMONT AND MOUNTAIN SECTIONS. It has been found from a testing of thirty-eight varieties during the past five years at the Iredell farm, located in the Piedmont section, that Weekley's Improved. Biggs' Seven Ear. Craig's Prolific White, Cocke's Prolific. Sanders' Improved. Hickory King. Holt's Strawberry. Boone County White. Learning Yellow and Reid's Yellow Dent are the larg- The Bulletin. 29 est yielders of shelled corn per acre of all the varieties thus far tested. These, too, are all white varieties and are medium to medium late in maturity. The best of the varieties tested at the western farm are almost the same as for the east, but the order of prolificacy is somewhat different. CORRELATION OF CHARACTERS OF VARIETIES OF CORN. One of the purposes of our detailed study of varieties of corn, exhib- ited in Tables I, II, III and IV, is to ascertain what characters, bein? mutually helpful and hence conducive of greater yields, may be expected to be found combined in the same variety, and what ones, being gen- erally antagonistic, seldom or never occur in the same plant or group of plants. This knowledge is of the most fundamental importance in the proper production of not only corn, but all other agricultural crops, as one being familiar with these facts will be better enabled to origi- nate, improve or select varieties best adapted to different localities, soils and purposes. It is also felt that a more correct interpretation can be placed on the results obtained in variety tests. In Table IV are brought together the average results of the work of six years (1903-'04-'05-'06-'07-'08) at the Edgecombe and Iredell farms, separately. From a detailed study of this table, supplemented by field observation, the following tentative inductions are made with reference to varieties of corn studied when they are grown under conditions of soil and climate as represented by these two farms : Antagonistic Characters. — (1) Earliness in maturity, other things being equal, is not generally conducive to large yields of grain and stover. (2) L?rge-eared varieties usually have a low percentage of grain to cob, and are as a rule less productive of shelled corn per acre. (3) Ears with very small cob have poorly shaped kernels, and give a small amount of shelled corn per ear, and vice versa. (4) Kernels of low vitality do not tend to the growth of plants of maximum yields. Associated Characters. — (1) Earliness, other things being equal, usually tends to high percentage of ear to stover, and vice versa, al- though this ratio is more or less modified by season, soil, fertilization and breeding. (2) Varieties producing two ears per stalk are generally more productive of shelled corn per acre than those bearing only one ear, although it may be a large one. (3) Medium maturity, other things being equal, tends to increase yields per acre of grain. (4) Small kernels usually possess low vitality. (5) Kernels with small germs (chits) contain a small percentage of oil or fat. (6) Varieties with good root and leaf development are usually the most resistant ones to drought and disease and insect ravages. SELECTING SEED FOR IMPROVEMENT. In the improvement of corn by seed selection an endeavor should be made to start with the best variety as ascertained by actual tests in the field through a sufficient number of years to eliminate weather con- ditions. It must be borne in mind that in all plant improvement the same principles and practices that have been employed with such strik- ing results in the improvement of the different breeds of animals must be followed. 30 The Bulletin. For corn there are three general methods of improvement: First, by- importation of seed from some reputable breeder or grower; second, by the careful selection of seed corn from one's own field or from a neigh- bor's; third, by careful selection and growing of seed corn in a field isolated something like four or five hundred vards from anv other corn field. The characters that should be taken into account in the improvement of corn by selection are : (1) Selection of ears from stalk bearing two or more ears, as it has been demonstrated time and again that a variety that bears two medium- sized ears per stalk will generally give higher yields of shelled corn per acre than a variety bearing one large ear to the stalk. (2) The stalk should be large at the base and tapering gradually towards the tassel, for two reasons — first, because it will be better enabled to withstand drought, and, second, because it will stand up better in windstorms. (3) The ears should by all means be of a cylindrical form, with both butts and tips filled out, as this is the form that gives the highest per- centage of yield of shelled corn per ear, other things being equal. (4) The best-shaped kernel is a medium wedge, as this fills out the space on the cob most completely. Also, the distance between the rows of grains should be small, while the number of rows should be large and run parallel the full length of the cob, with little or no diminution in size, either at the butts or tips. The percentage of grains should be from 80 to 90 and should be held rigidly by the cob. It should also possess a high (90 to 95 per cent) germinating power, and great resist- ing power to disease and insect ravages. It should be kept clearly in mind that, with varieties of corn, selec- tion should be made particularly with reference to total yield of shelled corn and the characters which tend to give this and an improved qual- ity of grain. If it is to be used in feeding growing animals, or to be ground into meal for human consumption, it should be high in flesh and muscle-forming material (protein) ; if for fattening stock, high in fat, and if to manufacture whiskey, alcohol or starch, high in starch, sugar, etc. (carbohydrates).

These tests were conducted this year at the Iredell, Edgecombe and Buncombe farms, seed of Cocke's Prolific having been used at Edge- combe, and Weekley's Improved at Iredell and Buncombe for planting the different tests during all the years. The distance best suited to the soil at the Edgecombe farm in its present state of fertility, as indicated by an average of seven years' results, is 4 feet by 3 feet; at Iredell as an average of sis years' results, 5 feet by 2 feet. It will require a num- ber of repetitions of this test to arrive at a fair idea of the best width of rows and distance in rows for planting corn on the types of soil used in the experiments. This will no doubt vary with the different kinds of corn, soil and season. In Table VIII is presented in concise form the results of all distance tests with corn that have been conducted at the Edgecombe farm during seven years and the Iredell farm during six years. II. Variety and Distance Tests of Cotton. Preparation and Cultivation. — All plats devoted to these tests were broken 8 to 10 inches deep during March with a two-horse turning plow, followed by a thorough disking during the middle of April. Just before laying off the rows, which was during the last of April, the ground was gone over with a smoothing harrow. The rows were run 5 to 7 inches deep, 3% feet apart, with an 8-inch shovel, and the fertilizer materials applied in the drill, at the following rate per acre in all tests : Four hundred pounds of a mixture of acid phosphate, manure salt and dried blood, which contained 7 per cent available phosphoric acid, 2% per cent potash and 2% P er cen * nitrogen (equal to 3.04 per cent ammonia), costing $3.95, were used. The cultivation was level, with cultivators, being moderately deep at the beginning of the season and shallower as the root zone increased. The cultivator was never run more than twice to the row at a time, as this more than covered the middle, and an effort was made to work over the plats as quickly as possible immediately after rains to break the crust formed by the showers and leave a dust mulch to check evapora- tion. The cultivator was run about 1% to 2 inches deep toward the close of the season. It was attempted to cultivate every ten days, which had to be changed, of course, to suit the season. The cotton was reduced to a stand of 15 inches at Edgecombe and 16 inches at Iredell between the hills in the rows with the variety tests. RESULTS OF VARIETY TESTS OF COTTON.

The Bulletin. 55 COMMENTS ON VARIETY TESTS OF COTTON. The varieties tested this year at the Edgecombe and Iredell farms are arranged in Table IX in the order of their selling price of "total prod- ucts," when lint is selling at 11 cents per pound and seed at 30 cents per bushel. This order may not be the order of productivity of seed cotton, as is shown in the tests this year at both the Edgecombe and Iredell farms. The reason for some varieties with smaller yields of seed cotton pro- ducing more lint and hence greater selling price per acre than some others with a larger amount of seed cotton per acre, is due to the former varieties producing a higher percentage of lint to seed. To eliminate inequalities in the land, if any, the different varieties at the separate farms were planted each in separate rows, arranged consecutively, and this plan repeated a sufficient number of times to give the designated acreage. It is absolutely essential, in order to eliminate soil and weather conditions as much as possible, to continue work of this kind for some years on different types of soils before attempting to draw definite conclusions. The yields for this year are presented in Table IX, while the average rank in value of total products of the several varieties tested during the past seven years is shown in Table X. Taking the whole variety test at the Edgecombe farm, the stand was very irregular and poor. The late, cold spring was largely the cause of this defect in stand. It should not be overlooked, however, that all the varieties were planted in the same way, on the same day, on uniform land, and given the same fertili- zation and cultural treatment, hence the results are valuable as showing the ability of certain varieties to withstand adverse seasonal conditions and produce paying yields, which is a matter of considerable impor- tance. At the Iredell farm the stand of the different varieties was con- siderably better than at the Edgecombe. Two pickings were made of the varieties this year at the Edgecombe farm and three at the Iredell farm. Of the varieties that have been tested continuously at the differ- ent farms since the inauguration of variety testing at them, as seen by Table X, Russell's Big Boll and Culpepper's Improved, as an average of nine years' tests, have ranked as the best varieties at the Edgecombe farm ; King's Improved, King's Improved Native and Edgeworth were highest at the Iredell farm as an average of six years' testing. In this connection it is interesting to note that in the several tests of cotton on the different farms the differences between the one yielding the highest amount of seed cotton per acre and the one the lowest in the individual tests ranged from 530 to 915 pounds of seed cotton at Edge- combe, with the number of varieties ranging from seven to thirty-one; and at Iredell, from 455 to 565 pounds when using from nine to thirty varieties in the different tests during the past six years. These results speak in no uncertain terms as to the importance and value of good seed which are adapted to the different soils and localities of the State. 56 The Bulletin. In Table XI is given the rank of the varieties tested this year accord- ing to certain characteristics ; while Table XII shows the average rank- ing of five years' testing at Edgecombe and six at Iredell. Both of these tables will be found to contain much information, compiled in compact form. NOTES ON VARIETIES OF COTTON TESTED IN 1908. Russell's Big Boll is a hardy, large-boiled and vigorous-growing vari- ety that yields well, especially on a loamy or sandy soil in the eastern part of the State, and is very popular with pickers. In value of total products (lint and seed) it stood third in 1900 and 1905, first in 1901 and 1902, seventh in 1903, fourth in 1904, twentieth in 1906, fifth in 1907 and twenty-eighth in 1908 at the Edgecombe farm; third in 1903, seventh in 1904 and twenty-first in 1908 at Iredell. In ordinary sea- sons this variety is not only prolific, but fairly reliable, especially on the well-drained sandy or loamy soils of the east. Culpepper's Improved is a large-boiled variety, yielding generally a little less per boll than Bussell's Big Boll. It ranked fourth in 1900, third in 1901, fifth in 1902, ninth in 1903, seventeenth in 1904, second in 1905, thirteenth in 1906 and 1907 and eighth in 1908 at the Edge- combe farm ; and fifth, eighth, fourth, sixteenth and fifth in 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906 and 1908, respectively, at Iredell. This variety is earlier by about ten days and seems to be more subject to variation than Bus- sell's Big Boll, but, notwithstanding this last defect, it is considered a good, reliable variety. It has a large-sized weed with spreading limbs, well boiled and holds cotton well. King's Improved has a boll a little smaller than Peterkin's Improved but does not generally yield quite as high percentage of lint. It has a rather small stalk with spreading limbs. It occupied seventh place in 1902, third in 1903 and 1904, sixteenth in 1906, twelfth in 1907 and ninth in 1908 at Edgecombe; second in 1903, first in 1904 and 1906, eleventh in 1905, second in 1907 and 1908 at Iredell.

It has a rather heavy stalk, large leaves and short stems, and is, ordinarily, a rather late maturing variety. Moss' Improved stood first in 1900, sixth in 1901, seventeenth in 1904, eighth in 1905, tenth in 1906, twentieth in 1907 and seventeenth in 1908 at Edgecombe; nineteenth in 1904, eighteenth in 1905, seven- teenth in 1906, thirtieth in 1907 and twenty-eighth in 1908 at Iredell. Cook's Improved ranked second in 1904, fifth in 1905, first in 1906, sixth in 1907 and seventh in 1908 at Edgecombe; tenth in 1904, third in 1905 and 1907 and twenty-third in 1908 at Iredell. It is a medium early maturing variety. Webb occupied eighth and seventh places at Edgecombe in 1904 and 1905, fourth in 1906, ninth in 1907 and eleventh in 1908; and third, fifth, eleventh, twenty-third and twenty-fifth in 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908 at Iredell. Has rather small bolls and seeds.

STUDY OF COMPILED RESULTS OF VARIETY TESTS OF COTTON. Nine years ago the Department of Agriculture, by means of its test farms, began comparative tests of varieties of cotton, with the purpose, primarily, of ascertaining, if possible, the varieties that are most pro- lific of seed cotton per acre when grown under our conditions of soil and climate. During this time tests have been made of seven varieties in 1900 to thirty-one in 1908 in the tests on the different farms. It is felt from these accumulated data of nine years' tests that some very reliable and valuable information has been derived, especially if taken and intel- ligently applied by the individual farmers of the State in their farming operations. VARIATION IN YIELD OF VARIETIES. In our variety tests we have had some variety or varieties to yield 700 to 900 pounds of seed cotton per acre more than other varieties in the same tests and grown under identical conditions of soil, fertilization and cultivation. This variation in yield has been no uncommon occur- rence in our experience. Take, for instance, the results at the Edge- combe farm during the past nine years. In 1900, in a test of eight varieties, the difference between the variety yielding the largest amount of seed cotton per acre and the one the smallest was 565 pounds; in 1901 and 1902, in tests of seven varieties each, the differences were 530 and The Bulletin. 59 790 pounds, respectively; in 1903, 663 pounds, when nine varieties were incorporated, 724 pounds in 1904 with twenty-one varieties, 576 pounds in 1905 with twenty-three varieties, 915 pounds in 1906 with twenty-six varieties, 758 pounds in 1907 with twenty-seven varities, and 659 pounds in 1908 with thirty-one varieties. The average of these differences is more than the average annual yield per acre of seed cotton in North Carolina. To grow cotton cheaply per pound, more must he produced per acre than is at present done on an average. To do this, better varieties must be planted, more thorough preparation and cultivation be given to the land, and more intelligent fertilization, either directly or indirectly, must be practiced. It costs no more to cultivate a prolific variety of cot- ton than one that has few bolls to the stalk or has a larger number of stalks missing in the row, due to imperfect germination of the seed, or some other avoidable or unavoidable cause. WHAT A VARIETY SHOULD BE. A variety of cotton should be a group of plants having some special excellencies, such as total yield of lint per acre, resistance to disease and insect pests, etc., and the seed of which should be able to transmit to their progeny, with certainty and without diminution, the excellent qual- ities of the parent plants. If the designated group of plants does not have these qualities, then it is not worthy to be styled a variety. Neither should the same variety have two names. EARLY-MATURING VARIETIES. The earliest varieties, judged from the percentage of total cotton open at first picking in the past three or four years' tests at the test farms of the Department, are Dozier's Improved, King's Improved, Hodge, Shine's Extra Early Prolific, and Webb. The first two named are prob- ably the earliest-maturing varieties we have thus far tested. They are especially adapted for growth in regions where cotton is liable to be cut off by frost, mattering not whether the prolonged growth be due to climate or soil. MEDIUM-MATURING VARIETIES. Culpepper's Improved, Cook's Improved, Excelsior Prolific, Peter- kin's Improved, and Edgeworth are varieties that matured during the past year at a medium date. LATE-MATURING VARIETIES. Russell's Big Boll, Black Texas Wood, and Moss' Improved were the latest varieties tested. Some of these are good yielding varieties when grown where the season is long enough for complete development of their bolls before frost. VARIETIES WITH HIGH PERCENTAGE OF LINT. Of the varieties tested, Moss' Improved, King's Improved, Brown Texas Wood, Peterkin's Improved, Cook's Improved, Tool's Early Pro- lific, Hodge, Excelsior Prolific, Brown's No. 1, Edgeworth, and Mortgage 60 The Bulletin. Lifter are the ones that have yielded the highest percentage of lint to seed. "With these varieties in 1904 the percentage of lint to seed varied from 35.42 per cent with Excelsior Prolific at the Edgecombe farm to 43.03 per cent with Moss' Improved at Iredell. The percentage yield of lint alone of a variety is frequently an unsafe guide in selecting a variety that will produce a large amount of lint cotton per acre. VARIETIES WITH LARGE BOLLS. Russell's Big Boll, Culpepper's Improved, Edgeworth, Double-header, and Brown's ~No. 1 are the five varieties thus far tested that possess the largest-sized bolls as well as seed. As an average of four years' tests at the Edgecombe farm and three years' at the Iredell farm, it has required the following number of bolls to yield a pound of seed cotton ; Russell's Big Boll, at Edgecombe, 53 ; and at Iredell, 72. Culpepper's Improved, at Edgecombe, 60, and at Iredell, 74. Edgeworth, at Edge- combe, 66, and at Iredell, 79. These are late varieties and heavy pro- ducers of both lint and seed when planted upon soils that will mature them before frost. VARIETIES ADAPTED TO THE EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN SECTIONS OF THE STATE. After a study of our results with varieties obtained at the Edgecombe and Red Springs farms during the past six or seven years, it is found that of the varieties of cotton thus far tested, Excelsior Prolific, Edge- worth, Culpepper's Improved, King's Improved, Russell's Big Boll, and Peterkin's Improved have yielded the largest amounts of seed cotton per acre on an average. In the eastern part of the State, on the stiffer clayey soils, bottom lands, poorly drained lands and lands near the northern border of the State, it will generally be found advisable to use the best of the earlier maturing varieties, such as King's Improved. Edgeworth, and Excelsior Prolific ; while on the more open, sandy and loamy soils of the east and southeast the larger-boiled and more vigor- ously growing varieties, such as Culpepper's Improved and Russell's Big Boll, will generally yield most satisfactory returns. VARIETIES ADAPTED TO PIEDMONT SECTION OF THE STATE. With reference to varieties of cotton suited to this portion of the State, we cannot assert with the same degree of certainty as we can for the eastern part of the State, as our experiments have only been conducted in Iredell for five years, and with some of the varieties for only the past season. So, with reference to this portion of the State, on a red-clay soil, we would recommend, tentatively, guided by our re- sults, the use of either King's Improved, Culpepper's Improved, Edge- worth, or Excelsior Prolific as the best suited. King's Improved has, in our experiments at the Iredell farm, proved to be the earliest and decidedly the most prolific variety thus far tested there, where the grow- ing season for cotton is comparatively short, There are other promising varieties being tested, but data for a sufficient number of years are not yet in hand to justify anything like definite statements in reference to them and their adaptability to different localities. The Bulletin. 61 CORRELATION OF CHARACTERS OF VARIETIES OF COTTON. With cotton, as with corn, it is of the highest importance for farmers, and imperative for all those who are studying or trying to improve varieties, to know what characters are usually antagonistic and what ones are mutually helpful in their economic development. In Table XII are compiled, in concise form, the results of five years' tests at Edgecombe and six at Iredell. From this compilation, supplemented by observation in the field and at the gin, the following tentative infer- ences are made in reference to the varieties of upland cotton tested, when grown under the conditions of climate and soil as represented by these farms: Antagonistic Characters. — (1) Earliness in maturity is not usually conducive to large yields, although in areas where a short growing period is afforded the earlier maturing varieties often give the greater yields (but these are not large generally), as is shown by King's Im- proved, which, during the past five years, has proven the most prolific of seed cotton at the Iredell farm, where the growing period for cotton during an average season is comparatively short. (2) Varieties that have large seed generally yield a small percentage of lint to seed. (3) Late-maturing varieties do not generally produce seed cotton that yields a high percentage of lint, although the number of pounds of lint per acre may be large. (4) Small-boiled varieties are not generally easily picked, and hence are unpopular with pickers. Associated Characters. — (1) Varieties that mature early tend to the production of seed cotton that contains a high percentage of lint to seed. (2) Varieties with short staple usually have a high percentage of lint, and vice versa. (3) Varieties with large bolls generally have large seed and small percentage of lint. (4) The larger the yield of seed cotton per acre, through proper fertilization or favorable seasonal conditions, the lower the percentage of lint to seed, even of the same variety. (5) Good root and leaf development of a variety tends to increase power of resistance to drought, insect and disease ravages. PROPER PLACE TO SELECT SEED. "With cotton, as with any other staple crop, the place to select seed for the next year's planting is in the field — selecting with reference to total yield of seed cotton, percentage of lint, date of maturity, vigor, hardiness, form and size of bolls, leaves, stalks, limbs, and resistance to disease and insect ravages. By selecting from stalks that bear a large number of bolls per stalk, the tendency will be in the progeny to give an increased yield over the average of the patch, which is the seed obtained when one waits to secure his seed at random from the gin. Another objection to securing seed from the gin in the usual way is that it is usually deferred until late in the fall, and thereby, generally, seed from the last picking are obtained, which are not the best seed. The best seed, as a rule, are from the middle picking. In selecting a variety one must not be guided entirely by total yield of seed cotton, for often between two varieties producing about the same quantity per acre the one with the smaller yield should be chosen because 62 The Bulletin. of its production of a larger amount of lint and higher selling price of total products (lint and seed). It should be remembered that lint sells for from eight to fifteen times as' much per pound as seed. Other things being equal, preference should be given to the larger- boiled varieties, with a larger number of locks per boll, as they are much easier picked, and hence are most popular with pickers. A few hours spent in the fall in selecting and gathering separately the seed cotton from stalks that have a large number of bolls well dis- tributed over the stalks and with other desirable characteristics, will pay as well or better than any other form of farm work. The seed cotton thus gathered should be ginned separately and the seed carefully saved in some secure place for the next year's planting. Every one who has been through a cotton field in the fall has surely noticed the great difference in the same field, in the form, shape and number of bolls on different stalks, as well as in the characteristics of the stalks themselves. Now, remembering that the law of heredity is as strong and constant in plants as in animals will help to emphasize the great importance of selecting seed of the short-staple cotton only from those stalks that bear the largest amount of lint cotton per stalk. Of course, this latter statement does not apply to long-staple cottons in comparison with the short-staple ones, for a long-staple cotton may produce less lint per acre than a short-staple one, yet this smaller number of pounds may sell for more on the market, on account of its higher selling price per pound. BUYING COTTON SEED. Seed of cotton, as well as all othej- crops, should be purchased only from the most reliable sources, for frequently seeds advertised in extrava- gant superlatives are inferior. It is not always the cheapest seed that are secured for the smallest outlay; nor, on the other hand, are all ex- pensive seed of superior quality ; so the only safe plan to follow is to buy from the most reliable parties. It might be said, however, that if seed are properly selected they will have to bring a good price to compensate the seedsman or grower for his extra care and expense. The seed should possess strong vitality, for seed of low vitality produce a poor stand of stunted plants that do not produce as large yields as good seed when grown under identical conditions of soil, fertilization and cultivation. It will be remembered, however, that stunted cotton will give larger pro- portional yields than will corn. It is common to see cotton only a few inches high bearing one, two or more small bolls per stalk, while corn that only reaches three or four or five feet high will frequently produce not much more than a spindling stalk, small shuck and cob.

In the coastal sections fish scrap and meal are both easily ob- tained ; some distance inland meal is more accessible, while in the more western end of the tobacco belt it will be found convenient to use dried blood. All three are good sources of ammonia for tobacco. The other materials — nitrate of soda, sulphate of potash, and acid phosphate — are the same for all mixtures. Occasional requests are made for formulas furnishing as much as 10 per cent of potash, and No. 4 has been arranged to meet needs of this nature. It is known that excellent tobacco, in quality and quantity, is grown by the use of fertilizers of this class, and some of our farmers 78 The Bulletin. greatly prefer them to others containing less potash. It takes con- siderable observation and experimentation to determine the best practice in matters of this kind. Formula No. 7, in 1905, in some tobacco experiments conducted on the bright-leaf soils of Granville County, gave very promising results. Three hundred and eighty-eight pounds per acre of this mixture were used, which was equal to an application of 600 pounds of a mixture analyzing 4 per cent available phosphoric acid, 6 per cent potash and 4 per cent ammonia. A limited quantity of stable manure is very beneficial to tobacco, and it succeeds well after peanuts. These materials add ammonia to the soil, and where heavy applications of fertilizers are to be made in con- nection with manure, and on peanut land, it would be well not to have so much ammonia in the fertilizers as is used in the ones employed on land not having other ammoniated materials put on them. Formula ISTo. 5 is destined to meet cases of this kind. A good many eastern to- bacco growers plant tobacco after peanuts, and some of them grow peas between the hills of tobacco, planting them with hoes and putting six to ten peas in a place, the latter part of June or early in July. This improves the soil for after-crops, but tobacco grown after tobacco and peas is said not to be of good quality, though, as would be expected, the growth is very large. Good results will come from the use of high-grade fertilizers, such as are suggested above, or similar ones, and we believe that when once tried there will be no inclination to go back to the lower-grade ones, now so largely used.

History. — The peanut (Arachis-Hypogcea) is a native of Brazil, al- though authorities have endeavored to trace its origin to the Eastern Hemisphere. It was known to planters of the old country at an early- date, having been used as a staple food on board the slave ships in the trade with America. It was introduced into North America soon after colonization, but it was not until about the close of the War Between the States that it began to spread throughout the South, and become of importance as a commercial crop. It was carried to various parts of the country by the soldiers traveling throughout the peanut sections of North Carolina and Virginia. They found how good it was to eat and took some home in their pockets and planted on their own farms. From this the cultivation of peanuts began to spread, until to-day it is grown in nearly all of the Southern States and several of the Western States. Statistics. — According to the Census of 1900, the total area devoted to the cultivation of peanuts in the United States in 1899 was 516,658 acres, and the total number of bushels produced was 11,964,957, or an average of 23.2 bushels per acre. The total value of the crop was esti- mated at $7,271,230, an average of 61 cents per bushel, or $14.07 per acre. The total area under this crop in 1889 was 203,946 acres, and the total yield 3,588,143, an average of 17.6 bushels per acre. A com- parison of these figures shows an increase in ten years of 312,712 acres or 153 per cent in area, and of 8,376,814 bushels or 233.5 per cent in production. North Carolina and Virginia are the two largest peanut- growing States, these two States in 1899 producing 7,173,786 bushels or 60 per cent of the entire peanut crop of that year. In North Caro- lina in 1889 there were planted 17,776 acres in peanuts, the production in bushels being 421,138, and in 1899 there were planted 95,856 acres, with a production of 3,460,439 bushels — an average of 36.1 bushels per acre as against 23.2 bushels for the entire United States, the value of the North Carolina crop being estimated at $1,852,110. In the decade referred to above the largest gain in area and produc- tion of any State in the Union was in North Carolina, where the area cultivated increased 439.5 per cent and the production increased 721.7 per cent. The acreage for North Carolina in 1899 was 18.6 per cent of the total acreage and its production 28.9 per cent of the entire United States. There has been a marked increase in acreage and production since the figures referred to above were collected. 4 The Bulletin. Characteristics. — The appearance of the vines of the peanut vary somewhat with the variety, the bunch varieties having an upright vine, whereas the flat have a trailing vine. However, the foliage of all varie- ties is somewhat similar, resembling to some extent the clovers. There is a main branch or limb from which emanate the other branches, and along these branches are the small leaf stems, on each of which are two pairs of oval-shaped leaves, which have the peculiarity of closing their upper sides together with the approach of night. At the joints along the main branches appear the small yellow blos- soms. The blossoms last only a few hours, and when they fall off, the flower stem curves downward and enters the mellow earth. It is the enlargement of this stem, or the ovary, that makes the fruit. If this stem, or peg (as it is commonly called), fails to enter the soil, on account of a crust or any obstacle, there will be no fruit. Hence the great neces- sity of keeping the soil in a mellow condition during the fruiting period. Description of Varieties. — There are several varieties of peanuts known ; however, those of most importance to the farmers of North Carolina and Virginia are the Virginia and Running varieties, the North Carolina Bunch and Running (much the same as the Virginia), the Spanish, and the Wilmington or North Carolina. Some of these varieties are more adapted to certain sections than to others. For in- stance, in Brunswick and New Hanover counties the Wilmington pea is grown to the exclusion of all others. Along the Roanoke River the Spanish is grown more than any other. The latter is the best to grow for hogs and stock, for the reason that it will grow on any soil that the cowpea will, and without the use of lime and land plaster. The large varieties are the best sellers, as the bulk of the American crop is sold by vendors on the streets, and the large peas are prettier and fill up faster than the small. The Bunch varieties have an upright vine, sometimes growing to a height of twenty and twenty-four inches. A field of these just before frost has very much the appearance of a clover field. The nuts are larger than with the ordinary flat peas and are more uniform in size, making this variety a better seller. The fruit is produced in a cluster around the tap root, whereas with the flat peas the nuts are spread over a much larger area just under the lateral branches. The hull is a hard, woody substance, with a netted surface, containing from one to three kernels. There is a variety known as the Jumbo Flat, which is rapidly gain- ing favor on account of its size and large yield. The Wilmington has a trailing vine and a nut much smaller than the common Flat pea. The Spanish has an upright vine and is the smallest nut of any. The Bulletin. 5 Climate and Soil. — It has been ascertained that peanuts will grow in any climate in which Indian corn will. A season of five months free from frost is necessary for the maturing of the crop; however, it has been proven that they do not require a very warm climate. As the American nuts are sold chiefly on the streets, the color of the hulls greatly affects the sale; consequently, a warm, rainy fall is very inju- rious to the crop, as it turns the hulls dark. The season best suited to producing the most marketable stock is a spring and summer of mod- erate rainfall, and a very small rainfall during September and October. Any soil which can be put into a mellow, friable condition to a depth of four or five inches will grow peanuts. However, a gray, sandy loam produces nuts of the best quality, as red or dark lands are apt to dis- color the hulls. A soil rich in iron is not good for peanuts for the same reason. The best American trade demands a bright, pretty hull, and the farmers have to cater to that demand. The deeper and more thor- oughly pulverized the soil is before planting, the better the results to be obtained. However, a soil very rich in humus and other ammoniated materials is not so well suited, as it has a tendency to produce too many vines and pops. Seed Selection. — The subject of careful selection of seed for farm crops is fast becoming one of vital importance to the farmers at large. All experiments have proven that plants from carefully selected seed will give a much larger yield than from seed taken indiscriminately from the barn. We have no crop which shows more marked increase from carefully selected and saved seed than the peanut, and yet a large majority of the peanut growers pay no attention whatever to this point. In order to get the best yield of good merchantable nuts, it is abso- lutely essential to get a stand from the first planting. Keplanted peas never pay, as they do not mature with the first crop — if they produce anything — and, on account of being dug before maturity, are apt to turn brown or mildew, and thereby injure the sale of the good nuts. For this reason every peanut farmer should make a special effort to plant seed of as great vitality as possible. As the large varieties are graded according to size and color, great care should be taken to keep up the size of the nuts when they are grown for market. This can only be done by carefully selecting the seed and breeding for size. In saving peanuts for seed several points should be kept in mind : First. The experience of the best farmers of North Carolina and Virginia has been that peas dug before they are thoroughly mature have greater germinating power. If the kernel is mature the skin is naturally full and tight. When planted in warm, moist soil the swelling of the kernel is apt to be quite rapid, and in many cases the skin does not 6 The Bulletin. become elastic rapidly enough to prevent its being burst before the ger- mination has advanced sufficiently. On the other hand, where peanuts are dug before they are thoroughly mature the skin on the kernel is slightly wrinkled on account of the shrinking of the kernel. This wrinkled skin provides for the rapid swelling of the kernel referred to above and prevents premature bursting. Second. They should always be dug before the frost kills the vines. If the frost kills the vines it seems to injure the germ also. Third. They should be allowed to dry some after they are shaken out before stacking. It is better to allow them to get quite dry before stack- ing, as there is danger of their taking a heat if stacked green, especially if a few days of warm, rainy weather follow digging. Fourth. They should be put under a shelter as soon as dry enough to shake in the hull, or picked off by hand and spread in a dry, airy place. It is always better to have seed peas picked by hand, as there is danger of the machine breaking the hull and skin. Fifth. As the large varieties have to be shelled for planting in the spring, it is necessary to be careful not to break the skin on the kernel. Some people use a popper, made of a limber piece of wood, between the ends of which the hull is broken. This should be used by particular hands, otherwise the skin will be broken on a large per cent of the nuts. It pays to go over them carefully after they are shelled and get out all inferior and broken nuts to insure a good stand. Fertilization. — The peanut belongs to the family of leguminous plants, as will be shown on examining the roots, on which are an abundance of the small nodules or tubercles. As plants of this family have the power of getting nitrogen from the atmosphere, it is not necessary to use a fertilizer with a large content of ammonia for them. The tendency of too much ammonia, or nitrogen, is to produce too much vine and too many pops (hulls without kernels). The mineral elements — potash and phosphoric acid — are essential for the development and maturity of the fruit, and if these elements are not already present in the soil in suf- ficient quantities they must be supplied by the use of acid phosphate and kainit, or some other potash salt. If peanuts are grown in rotation with some other crops which have been well fertilized, and there is some humus in the soil, large crops can be produced without the use of com- mercial fertilizers. Lime is very essential for the successful production of the large varie- ties of peanuts. They will not grow well on an acid soil, and lime has a tendency to counteract this acidity, so prevalent along the Atlantic Coast. It also makes available the elements of plant food already pres- ent in an unavailable condition. The kind of lime to be used depends. The Bulletin. i to some extent, on the nearness to the source. In the eastern part of North Carolina and Virginia, agricultural lime, made by burning oyster shells, is used, and has been found to be one of the best forms for agri- cultural purposes. Lime may be applied in the drill and incorporated with the soil before the fertilizers are distributed, or drilled on top of the row behind the planter, where it will be mixed with soil in cultivation. On uplands, from 400 to 700 pounds per acre is sufficient, and should be drilled. On new or lowlands, 1,000 or 1,500 pounds per acre may be used with im- punity, and should be broadcasted. It is the custom in many sections of the country to distribute land plaster or calcium sulphate on the rows in late July or during August, at the rate of 300 to 500 pounds per acre. Good results come from this practice. As peanuts obtain nitrogen from the air, it is not necessary to use so much of this constituent in fertilizers for this crop. The main office of nitrogen, or ammonia, in a fertilizer is to produce vine, without a good growth of which a large crop of peanuts cannot be obtained. Too much nitrogen or ammonia in fertilizer produces vines at the expense of fruit, and it is necessary to use nitrogen only in such quantities as are necessary to produce a good proportion of vines to nuts. Where the land will already produce sufficient vines for a good crop, all that is needed, in addition to lime and plaster, are phosphoric acid and potash- supplying materials, and it is suggested that 400 to 500 pounds of the following mixture be employed : No. 1 — Acid phosphate. 14 per cent 200 pounds Kainit 100 pounds This mixture would contain, available phosphoric acid, 9.3 per cent; potash, 4 per cent. Where the land needs only a small amount of nitro- gen to produce an increased growth of vines, formula No. 2 is recom- mended, and where a still larger growth of vines is required, formula No. 3 ; and where the land is quite poor and needs a great deal of help to produce sufficient growth of vines, formula No. 4 is recommended. These should be applied in the drill at the rate of 300 to 600 pounds per acre. No. 2— Acid phosphate. 14 per cent 1,100 pounds Cotton-seed meal 300 pounds Kainit 600 pounds 2,000 pounds This mixture would contain, available phosphoric acid, 8 per cent : ammonia, 1.10 per cent; potash, 3.8 per cent. 8 The Bulletin. No. 3— Acid phosphate, 14 per cent 1,050 pounds Cotton-seed meal 400 pounds Kainit 550 pounds 2,000 pounds This mixture would contain, available phosphoric acid, 7.8 per cent ; ammonia, 1.50 per cent; potash, 3.6 per cent. No. 4— Acid phosphate, 14 per cent 1,000 pounds Cotton-seed meal 500 pounds Kainit 500 pounds 2,000 pounds This mixture would contain, available phosphoric acid, 7.6 per cent ; ammonia, 1.8 per cent; potash, 3.3 per cent. Planting. — The land should be well broken to a depth of six inches and harrowed to get in good condition. The time of planting depends very largely on location and climate. As soon as a farmer feels satisfied that all danger of killing frost is past he should begin to plant. In the peanut section of North Carolina and Virginia the bulk of the crop is planted between the first and tenth of May. The distance between rows and hills must be determined by fertility of the soil and the variety to be planted. The Running varieties must be given more space than the Bunch varieties. On fertile soil all varie- ties should be planted farther apart. Three-foot rows and 12 inches in the drill are average distances for Bunch peas. The Flat or Running varieties are planted in rows of the same width as the Bunch, but are given more distance in the drill on an average, about 16 inches being a good distance. The Wilmington or North Carolina variety is often planted in checks 2% feet one way and 2 feet the other way. The branches grow to a length of eighteen or twenty inches on fertile soil, in which case the rows have to be further apart. The Spanish can be planted more closely together than any of the varieties mentioned. In some sections the prevailing distances are 2^-foot rows and 6 inches in the drill. It takes about two bushels of unshelled or one-half bushel of shelled peas of the large varieties to plant an acre. It is much better to plant too many and thin them than to replant. Culture. — As is the case with most crops, the best cultivation given the peanut is that given before planting. If the land is broken early and thoroughly harrowed several times before planting, the majority of the weed and grass seeds will be destroyed before the plants are up. The Bulletin. 9 There are two methods of cultivation prevalent among peanut grow- ers, known as the "flat" and "ridge" culture. The flat or level culture is better for high, sandy loam soils, and the ridge for low or heavy lands. With the level culture the crop can be cultivated almost entirely with weeders and cultivators, to the exclusion of hoe labor — the most expensive item on the farm. The weeder should be started before the peas are up, as soon as a crust is formed, and kept going till the plants begin to branch and the blooms to appear. "With this method it is the most easily cultivated of the clean-cultured crops. On stiff, heavy land the ridge method has to be resorted to, and weeders and cultivators do not work so well. If weeds and grass are kept down during the early growth of the plant they do not do much harm later. Kapid and shallow cultivation during the early growth of the plants is what is needed. In fact, after the "pegs" begin to form and enter the soil, cultivation does a great deal more harm to the crop than would the weeds and grass, be- cause if the spikes or "pegs" are injured the yield is greatly reduced. Harvesting. — There is no period during the growth of the peanut crop when more careful attention is required than at digging time. A large per cent of the peanuts of North Carolina are injured every year by being dug too early. Farmers with a large acreage get in too great a hurry to begin, and dig a large part of the crop before the nuts are ma- ture, consequently they have inferior stock. The time to dig is when the largest per cent of mature peas can be saved, and that is usually when they begin to shed around the tap root. It is far better to allow a few of the peas around the tap root to shed and be saved by the porkers, than to dig earlier and lose the peas near the ends of the branches, which are not mature. The shedding of the nuts and not of the leaves should determine the time of digging. The common method of digging is to run under the peas with a point prepared for the purpose and loosen them in the soil. They are shaken out with pitchforks or the hands and allowed to dry for a few hours before they are stacked. They are then stacked around small poles seven or eight feet high, set at convenient distances along the field. These poles should be well set in the ground to a depth of twelve or eighteen inches and should have a short piece of wood nailed on them six or eight inches from the ground to prevent the peas from coming in contact with the damp earth. The stacks should be put as high as practicable and as small around as possible, and in the case of the bunch peas care should be taken to turn the nuts to the pole, in order that the vines may protect them from the rain. It is becoming the custom, on light sandy soil, to stack the peas as they are shaken out, that is, every man takes the peas from the loose soil into his hands and immediately carries them 10 The Bulletin. and places them around the pole. This method saves time, but there is more danger of the nuts being damaged by damp weather when they are not allowed to dry awhile before stacking. Picking Off. — Until a few years ago the nuts were gathered from the vines by hand, negro women and children doing a greater part of this work. There are now several kinds of threshers and peanut pickers on the market, and only a small per cent of the crop is picked by hand. They should never be picked off till they are dry enough to shake in the hull. If picked earlier there is danger of their taking a heat and being ruined. Where large quantities of peanuts are raised, the farmers are entirely too careless in saving them for market. The poles are often not well set in the ground and blow down with the first wind, or the peas ai*e carelessly thrown around the poles by indifferent hands and a great many damaged. These damaged peas injure the sale of the entire crop. It would be far better if the farmers would plant fewer acres, try to improve their stock, and take care of what they make. Rotation. — The growing of peanuts for domestic purposes should be encouraged. Being a leguminous and deep-rooted plant, it is one of the best soil improvers known. Of course, as is often the case, if they are grown on land successively for several years and the vines removed, the soil will be impoverished, as will be the case with any crop if the whole plant is removed. Several years ago peanut farmers claimed that it did not pay to fertilize peanuts, and planted them successively on land for several years with only an application of lime, with the result that the land soon produced only about half a crop. This was a natural se- quence, as they did not add any plant food in the form of fertilizer, and by the use of lime made available each year some of the plant food in the soil and by taking off nuts, roots and vines, returned nothing to the soil. On the other hand, if fertilizers are used and the vines returned to the land, the soil will improve in fertility. However, peanuts should come in a three-year rotation with some other crops, one of which should add humus to the soil. The most common three-year rotation is : Pea- nuts first year, followed by corn, with cowpeas sown between rows at last cultivation, and the corn followed by cotton with crimson clover or rye sown in September or first of October, between the rows. It is rather difficult to follow peanuts with a clover crop, on account of the hogs rooting the land for the peanuts. However, by putting the hogs on the field early, rye can be sown the latter part of November or first of December. In the corn, clover may be sown in the place of the cowpeas. When following cotton and crimson clover with peanuts, an extra application of potash, phosphoric acid and lime should be used The Bulletin. 11 on account of the abundance of humus and ammonia left in the soil by the clover. The clover can be gotten off or plowed under from the mid- dle to the last of April, in good time for the planting of peanuts. In some sections, where very little cotton is grown, small grain followed by cowpeas for hay, may take the place of cotton, or a two-year rotation with peanuts and corn sown down in cowpeas or clover may be followed to advantage. If planted for hogs and vines are rooted in the ground they rank along with crimson clover and cowpeas as soil improvers. Well-rotted pea vines are one of the best manures on the farm. Wherever peanuts are picked off in the field and an abundance of leaves and vines are left, the results can be traced for a number of years by the large plant growth on the land.

The leaves and vines (or hay), as an average of the analyses given in the table, contain 1.48 per cent nitrogen, 0.38 per cent phosphoric acid and 0.79 per cent potash. Giving these three constituents the same values as are ascribed to them in fertilizers, one ton of the hay (or leaves and vines) would be worth $6.42 as fertilizer. In addition to this value, the humus furnished by the vines would have a value beyond what would be obtained from the same fertilizer constituents in commercial fertili- zers. If the vines were cut at the proper haying stage they would have a higher fertilizer and feeding value, as a great many of the leaves have dropped and some of the plant food been washed out by the rains when left till the nuts are ready to gather. The fertilizer and feeding value of peanut vines are about the same as cowpea hay and the clovers when cut at the proper haying stage. Feeding Value of the Nuts. — The feeding value of the peanut was appreciated in its early history by the slave dealers. The spread of the peanut in the United States was caused by its palatableness. The fact that the people in the cities of America consume about seven million bushels of this crop annually as a luxury proves its value as a human food. In Table II (given below) are analyses of a number of varieties of nuts or kernels, showing their value for human food, and of peanut-vine hay, showing their value for feed for domestic animals. The nuts are specially high in protein or the lean meat and muscle-forming constit- uents of foods and in oil or fat. Peanut oil ranks next to olive oil as a desirable oil for domestic use. "Wherever it can be had at sufficiently reasonable price, it is used instead of olive and other oils and fats for cooking, preparation of salads, etc. On account of the high price of the peanut, the manufacture of peanut oil has not succeeded in this country, though it is made in considerable quantities in foreign countries. "When the oil is pressed from the nuts, peanut cake, which is ground to make peanut meal, is left and is a highly nutritious and valuable food for both human and animal consumption. It is largely used in some countries as a human food. It contains 50 or more per cent of protein, which is the most costly constituent in food and enables it to take largely the place of meat. As food for hogs the peanut has no equal. Pork fattened on nuts left in the ground after picking is one of the chief crops of the peanut belt. Hams of hogs fattened on peanuts are noted for their delicate flavor. In a series of experiments made in Alabama, it was found that pigs made more rapid increase on peanuts than on any other ration.

This must be looked after carefully, as trouble may be caused if the vines are allowed to mould. The hay is one of the chief sources of roughage in the peanut counties of North Carolina and Virginia. There are always some nuts and faulty peas left on the vines, and stock doing light work during the winter do' very well on them without other feed. An analysis is given in Table II, showing the feeding constit- uents of the vines and leaves (or hay), and, as previously stated, the feeding value is greater when the vines are cut early and not left until the peas mature. In most cases, however, this is impossible. Sometimes the Bunch varieties are cultivated level, and just before frost the vines are mown for hay and the nuts left for hogs. Under these conditions the land will improve in productiveness. Taken altogether, the peanut is one of the best crops to grow on land suited to it, as all parts of it are valuable for either human or animal food and no part is lost. Besides, when properly handled the soil will increase in fertility under its growth. LEAF TOBACCO SALES FOR FEBRUARY, 1909.

KILGORE, State Chemist, AND W. G. HAYWOOD, J. M. PICKEL, L. L. BRINKLEY and S. O. PERKINS, 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 spring 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 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 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 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 water-soluble and the original rock. Water-soluble phosphoric acid is considered somewhat more valuable than reverted, because it becomes better distributed in the soil as a con- sequence of its solubility in water. Available Phosphoric Acid is made up of the water-soluble and re- verted ; it is the sum of these two. Water-soluble Ammonia. — The main materials furnishing ammonia in fertilizers are nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia, cotton-seed meal, dried blood, tankage, and fish scrap. The first two of these (nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia) are easily soluble in water and become 4 The Bulletin. 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 ammo- nia from nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia that will be desig- nated 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. FORM OF POTASH IN TOBACCO FERTILIZERS. Tobacco growers are becoming yearly more disposed to know the form of potash, whether from kainit, muriate or sulphate, which enters into their tobacco fertilizers. Considerable work of this kind has been done for individuals, and we now determine the form of potash in all tobacco brands, for the benefit of tobacco growers. The term potash from muriate, as reported in the analyses, does not mean, necessarily, that the potash was supplied by muriate of potash. Sulphate or some other potash salt may have been used, but in all fer- tilizers where the term potash from muriate is used, there is enough chlorine present to combine with all the potash, though it may have come from salt in tankage, kainit, or karnalite. As the objection to the use of muriate of potash in tobacco fertilizers arises from the chlorine present, it 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, there- fore, means that there is sufficient chlorine present in the fertilizer from all sources to combine with the potash to the extent indicated by the analyses. The Bulletin. VALUATIONS. To have a basis for comparing the values of different fertilizer mate- rials and fertilizers, it is necessary to assign prices to the three valu- able 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 represent the cost of making and putting fertilizers on the market. They are based on a careful examination of trade conditions, wholesale and retail, and upon quota- tions of manufacturers. 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 raav or unmixed materials, such as acid phosphate, kainit, cotton-seed meal, etc., and one for mixed fer- tilizers. VALUATIONS FOR 1908. 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 3% 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 5% cents per pound. The valuations decided on this season, for reasons already given, are : VALUATIONS FOR 1909. In Unmixed or Raw Materials. For phosphoric acid in acid phosphate 4 cents per pound.

In the calculation of relative value it is only necessary to remember that so many per cent means the same number of pounds per hundred, and that there are twenty hundred pounds in one ton (2,000 pounds). "With an 8 — 2 — 1.65 goods, which means that the fertilizer contains available phosphoric acid 8 per cent, potash 2 per cent, and nitrogen 1.65 per cent, the calculation is made as follows : „ ... . „.._,..
