Charle Janvier, Vice-President
of the Canal Louisiana Bank of
New Orleans, made an address
at the Farmers' Union meeting,
during the morning session cf
the last day, that pertains par
ticularly to what it is hoped will
be gained by building a big sto
rage warehouse for cotton at
New Orleans, one of the livest
subjects now before the Union.
He aroused much applause,
speaking as follows:
"Instead of being compelled
to summarily sell your crop to
bargain-hunte-s as rapidly as it
reaches the market, you should
be put in a position where you
might be able to use some' dis
cretion and to dispose of your
cott n at its natural value and
not at artificial prices dictated
and fixed by temporary, unfa
vorable conditions.
Instead (f having yo-ir cotton
swhished from your fiek's and
hurried across the sea into for
eign warehouses, there to be held
and distributed in the natural
order of trade, you should be
able, yourselves, to hold and dis
tribt te it from a market of your
own, and yourselves receive the
benefit which under present un
natural conditions accrue to
others.
WHAT IS NEEDED.
"This consummation may be
reached by providing a safe, in
expensive and convenient place
in which may be housed that
hich
time it comes to market,
re to be held until, through

ho Land So iach That eertuizer
Cannot Make It Better
You use fertilizers for the profit you get out of them-and the
better the land the more profitably a good fertilizer can be used en it.
Do not imagine because land will produce a fair crop without
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
that these fertilizeis cannot be profitably used on it, or that they were
made only for land too poor to produce without them. If poor land
will show a normal increase when fertilizer is used, good land will
show at least double the increase. Use Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers
to increase the quality, as well as the quantity of the crop-and you
will increase the profits from your land.
"I have been using your fertilizers for a number of years" says
Mr. William Fraiser, of Glasburg, La., "andfnd that it not only pays
to fertilize, but to do plenty of it, and use the best fertilizers to be
had, such as your brands. I have used a number of them and found
them to be as recommended and to give better results than any other
fertilizers that I have ever used."
