FERTILIZERS AREDEULYED Sdt Application After Phnting Advised by Agricultural Authority if Plant Food is Not j ( Received in lime to Put * Them Under the Crop -v \ "Southern farmers are demanding more fertilizers than ever before; but, unfortunately, all indicatlona are that' mough fertilisers cannot be manufactured and delivered in time to meet | this demand before the crops are Pleated/' says Director J. N. Harper of the Soil Improvement Committee, ^ who has been traveling extensively throughout the farming sections of the Sooth. "In this exigency, what is the farmt er to do? Sit idly down and say there |s no use trying? By no manner of means! He should proceed with his Wflnaretion atuT n1sT?ti?? AmM r f * "" ? ? IT"-*' O *VUIU persist in his efforts to get his fertilizers until he does get them, then apply them as a aide application to his crops. ; "Side applications have long been * practiced under normal conditions, / bow necessity demands that a large ifantity of the plant food be applied fit this way. The plant can feed up* t on the fertilizers when they are put on as a side application just as well as when put under the crop. The float application can be made as soon as the fertilizers are received, even H the cotton is up and has msde some gtowth. i "Under boll weevil conditions, it is desirable, of course, where possible, to apply the fertilizer under the cotton, but a farmer is not taking as great a - chance at failure with a side appUca\ don as in attempting to grow the crop without fertilisers. "* is not as economical to make a hide application as to distribute the fertilisers and prepare the land with the* same operations as is usually dsn# at seeding time. But tike present demand for all farm commodities and the prices they are bringing abend* antly justify this comparatively small additional expense. "The factors influencing the short* ace of fertilisers hare been beyond the eontrol of the fertiliser manufao; tutors. The main difficulty hu beea the scarcity of ground phosphate rock, from Which to manufacture acid phosphate, due coldly to the protracted strikes in the phosphate fields of Florida, and to the railroad car shortage. The factories hare been unable to ran at fan capacity, not only because of < insufficient raw materials hut because * \ ef a lack of labor. The manufacturers are making every effort to get sufficient materials and labor to operate \ their factories at the highest ponsrfhle speed. . "The farmers should acoept the &tnation, proceed with his planting, Vtfiise what fertilisers he has, it any, jpy patting them undkr his crop, aaf apply the vest as he reoelves them, km* feel confident that a satisfeotssy V woy can be made." : MORE MONEY CROPS FOR SOUTHERN STATES Though cotton will always remain the Sooth's main money crop, there Is po good reason why It should he the emoney crop that a southern r should raise, especially when are so many others that pay as meU, or bette. than cotton. ' Bsfartlng to the crop nets of the Dotted States Department of Agricultsre for he year lilt, It wSl be found ' that Tie gross returns on some of the lending crops are very "attractive as compared to cotton. The returns per \ ftetn, m shown in this report, am as fofiwws: button average, fVOJT per acre. f jNnnum average ITQJ8 pur acre. Toheesn average btt.IT per acre.
