Oats fertilizing and harrow advice from State Ag Dept
State Agricultural Department advises against using a cutaway harrow on thick volunteer oats. Instead cross and recross with a plain harrow to loosen soil and thin oats. Apply 300 pounds of cottonseed meal per acre before harrowing for a good oat yield, then add 150 pounds phosphoric acid and 50 pounds kainit per acre if following with peas for a strong pea crop.

Phosphoric acids for cotton and fertilizer timing guidance
The value of phosphoric acid depends on solubility. Acid phosphates high in soluble phosphoric acid are preferred for cotton. insoluble acids from marl or slag are less directly valuable but can benefit future crops when rotated with legumes. For fertilizers, split applications help readily available nutrients, while slower acting forms favor a single planting application.

Kainit as a Preventive for Cotton Rust
The State Agricultural Department notes kainit has been recommended for cotton blight or rust but requires further experiments. It should be applied with nitrogen and phosphoric acid and works best when paired with cottonseed or cottonseed meal rather than other nitrogenous manures.

Best Manure for Cotton Among Cottonseed Products
State Agricultural Department finds cottonseed meal slightly superior as a manure for cotton while whole cottonseed and crushed seed perform about the same. Cottonseed is a complete fertilizer rich in nitrogen and better for grain crops that need nitrogen. cotton needs more phosphoric acid. For fertilizer depth, apply about 3 inches deep and mix well with soil. broadcasting or drilling are both acceptable for large applications.
