CORDIALLY TO BE OUR GUEST IO A. M. TO 5 P. All CHERO-COLA Bottling Plants throughout the United States will celebrate National Chero Cola Day ou April 18th hy keeping "open house" between the hours 10 a. m. and 5 p m. TheTe will be more than a million bottles of CHERO-COLA served free to visitors of the many CHERO-COLA Bottling Plants on this date-April 18th. It is estimated that more than a hundred thousand merchants who sell CHERO-COLA, will have their stores decorated with bottled CHERO-COLA and display advertising matter for this occasion. Millions of consumers who appreciate CHERO COLA'S "Individual Sanitary Package" idea will again welcome this opportunity for the public to see for themselves the modern method of bottle sterilization, cleansing and re-filling employed by CHERO-COLA Bottling Plants throughout the country. The purity and wholesomeness of bottled CHERO COLA has rapidly gained favor with the con suming public. As evidence-CHERO-COLA has reached a volume in its development greater than ha? ever been reached by any other bot tled carbonated beverage for the same period of time,-a record we are proud of and a fact worthy of your consideration. National Chero-Cola Day, you will note, is an educational feature of our advertising campaign. We want the public to know what CHERO COLA is. We want the public to know why it is 6erved only in bottles. We want you to visit our plant and see for yourself-at the same time receive booklets telling the whole story. Don't fail to come-April l&di. Edgefield Chero-Cola Bottling Company Better Farmin Permanent Influence Of Fei Feeding the Plant the Real Purpose Soil Seco "In recent years soil fertility has come to be look ed upon in a new light Soils are no longer spoken of as being rich simply because chemical analysis shows that they contain a b u n d ance of plant food. Much of J. N. HARPER, this plant food Agronomist may be locked up so that plants can not get at it. To be available plant food must be in soluble form; that is, it must dissolve In the soil water and change into just *^e form that the plant can use for its ffrJwi^'" saya Pr??essor Harper. "In fact" ^e continues, "a chemical analysis may sho> that a soU has lit tle total food content, Du. T may often have plant food in a available form than the richer soil, and, as a consequence, will produce greater yields. "Most of the soils of the South hare been formed from granite rocks which .have decayed or crumbled into parti cles. Soils derived from granites con tain considerable sand. Such soils are found very extensively in the re gion east of the Mississippi river. "Can these sandy loam soils of the South be made to produce abundant crops? ' "The answer is 'Yes.' Proof ls pro Tided from the experience of thou sands of farmers. They won through proper farm mr ^agement and fertili zation. Many fa. mers of the South are today getting a baie of cotton to the acre where they once got only one third of a bale. They are producing from 60 to 75 bushels of corn on the same land which a few years ago pro duced only 16 to 20 bushels. "What is the Beeret of their snc cess? "Is it in the change in the methods of cultivation? There has been con siderable improvement in this respect. "Has it been due to deeper plowing? This has been a help. "Is it due to crop rotation? The right kind of rotation is beneficial. "What then is the great reason? It Is this, the plants have been fed bet ter and they have responded with bet ter yields. In other words, lt came ?bout through proper fertilization. "A successful Southern farmer, whom the wrltor knows well, Is now producing a balo of cotton to the acre on land which twenty-five years ago was producing only one-third of a bale. He has constantly grown cotton on this land. Yet in spit? of this, he has increased yields. g in the South rtilizers On Southern Soils Developing the Resources of the ndary "How has he done it?" was asked, "lt has been the practice of this farmer to put on his land the amount of fertilizer that he could purchase with the proceeds of the sale of his cotton seed from this same land. Of course, this farmer could have grown his cotton more economically had he crown it in rotation with other crops. Loss Through Leaching "Sandy soils naturally erode and leach readily. Phosphoric acid does not leach away but remains In the top twelve inches of soil till it is used by the plant. Potash will wash out of sandy soils to a limited extent, but with clay soils it ?B practically all available. The nitrates, on the other hand, cannot long be retained by the soil. It is soluble in water and there fore leaches out with every heavy rain. Winter Cover Crops Help "When a field is left bare through the winter months, sometimes more than 4U pounds ot nitrogen ia leached -t an acre, lt will take COO pounds rV"~1 i ^d meal per acre to replace of cottons^ ,.n u ihQ farmer this loss of nitron . crlm, plants a cover crop sucn ?*? .. . son clover or bur clover, the grea...^. portion of this nitrogen will be re tained and become available for the succeeding crop." TO MAKE COTTON FRUIT BETTER J. C. Pridmore, Agronomist Inquiry-"My cotton produces plen ty of weed, but fruits poorly. What fertilizer would correct this? From the knowledge of plant nutri tion as it is understood at the pres ent time, it appears that you have a soil containing a fairly good supply of nitrogen, but deficient in phosphoric acid and potash. The element nitro gen is considered largely with the de velopment of vegetative parts of the plants, such as the Btalk, stems and leaves. The phosphoric acid ls respon sible to a large extent for the develop ment of the fruit, and the hastening or the maturity of ?he plant Potash gives general tone and vigor to the plant and improves th? quality of the fruit The use of fertilizer will supply these plant food elements, and enable one to overcome these apparent soil defi ciencies. A material analyzing from 1 per cent to 2 per cent nitrogen, 10 per cent to 12 per cent phosphoric acid, and 1 per cent to 2 per cent potash, could be used profitably in such cases. Apply at the rate of three or four hundred pounds per acre before the crop ls planted, so that the plant can get f?ll benefit of the material early in its growth, especially under boll weevil conditions.
