Bulletin on cotton varieties and fertilizer trials 1903 1905
The bulletin reports variety tests ranking thirty cotton strains by total yield per acre with figures for lint and seed, lists seed sources, and notes the performance of fertilizers. It describes experiments on in-furrow versus bedded fertilizer, shows yields from nitrate substitutes, and concludes that bedded fertilizer two weeks before planting boosts early yield, while cross planting cotton with corn is generally unprofitable.

Rotation of crops and fertilizer plan for 80 acre Alabama farm
An elderly farmer seeks guidance on rotating three eight acre fields for corn oats and cotton. The advisor prescribes a three year rotation with one third corn, one third cotton, one third small grain plus bermuda pasture. Details include October oats sowing, acid phosphate cotton meal and potash, nitrate top-dress, cowpeas, and specific No 2 formula application before planting cotton.

Cotton fertilizer trials show balanced formulas boost yields
R J Redding reports three fertilizer blends for cotton: Cela, Condor balanced, and a tromemixed formula using acid phosphate, cotton meal, and muriate of potash. Costs per acre ranged from $705 to $852, with yields from 1,163 to 1,471 pounds. Conclusion: natural guanos are not more effective than equivalent elements in these three formulations.

Fertilizing corn and cotton seed meals debated in farm letters
Farmers consult university experts on fertilizer use for corn and cotton on sandy soils. Recommendations discuss formula adjustments with cotton meal and acid phosphate, application timing to protect seed, and diesel for machinery. Kentucky cattle importers seek tick free pasture plans for Georgia.
Fertilizer Advice For Cotton And Oats From A Farm Letter
A farm letter discusses testing shorthorn feeders, clearing ticks, and a cotton fertilizer plan. It proposes applying 600 pounds per acre of mixed fertilizer, 200 pounds each of cotton seed meal kainit and 13 percent acid phosphate, plus 60 pounds nitrate of soda in June. It asks for analysis and application method. The writer reflects on past yields and advises using formula No 2 for corn and cautions about rust and stalk size on sandy soil with pea stubble.
