CL Hastings, President of both the Georgia State Chamber of Commorce j and the Southeastern Fair Associa-. tton. Mr. Hastings repeated substantially his statement of a year ago when ho ? .said: "Unthinking people are apt to. attribute the present measure of farm prosperity in the South to the high ! price of cotton rather than to ita real j cause. "Just an soon ns peace began to ap pear probable last fall, there waa a ? distinct let-up in tho planting of wheat, ' oats and other small grains. One, Georgia cotton farmer said to me, 'If ! we are going to have peace, we are not going to plant any wheat in my ; neighborhood.' "Of course the high price of cot ton baa helped, but if it had not been 1 for the Increased supply of bread, i m<* t, vegetables, grain and forage made on the farmB, there would have i been little prosperity for any one but the supply merchant. Cotton was and : ' la relatively lower in price than food stuffs, and will continue to be for ' years to come. j "An extra two or three million . bales In the 1919 cotton crop will ; smash preaent attractive prices, while the world-wide demand for bread and meat and the disorganisation of food j production in Ku ropo incident to the , war, means high food prioes every where for years to come. I "High food prices are a certainty j and low cotton prlcou are an equal I certainty if the food and grain acres I of 1916, 1917 and 1918 aro thrown back .tinto cotton in 1G19. Herein Hos the '.danger to our present farm prosper- : j ity. If we go back to our old before jthe-war system of growing all cotton 'and buying all food and grain, we will . get another jolt like 1914 with rea : mumble certainty.

Produce on home acres, so far as pos- ' .siblo, every pound of food, vegetables, grain, hay and forage needed by fam ily and livestock, then put every other . available acre In cotton or other cash 1 crop. This method means cash crops made with little or no debt-the crop owned by the producer at the end of the season instead of "owed' to tho supply merchant. t "Food and grain production suffi > aient for home needs, insure? cont In ?oed farm prosperity.

This brines us directly to the importance of the fertiliser industry as a means of improving our aoils. Fer tiliser* ?re abeoAutely essential in or der to increase Ike fertility of the soil. Th er have a direct effect upon agri cultural production end through the products of agriculture a direct effect upon all other industries. ,iu,;;,;ui whieh contributes to sn increase in our agricultural produc tions, contributes to the welfare, com ' fort and prosperity of our people as a whole; and this brings us direotly 1 to the consideration of the importance ' of the fertiliser industry in relation to ether lines of business, i Pertillsere Neoessary In South ? The very nature of our ?oil, climate ? and rainfall makes lt impossible to fenn successfully without regularly seeding our crops from artificial i souroes with At least two of the a?r erai principal elements entering into the composition and development of plant life. Without fertilisers much of the best producing cotton lands in the South would become unproductive and farming would he unprofitable. In many states, except in a few locali ties, soil ls no more capable of pro luolng without being fertilised than stock ta capable of performing work without being fed. Our landa must be j md just as we feed the stock that ' work them or they will become tod poor to eren pay the eoet and expense sf cultlYatton. i Traaeferened Seotlene j Large sections of land In v altona ! parts cf the South atlantic State?, for-, ; ty or nit? rears ago, required four er Ure acres to prod noe one bale of cotton, which now, br in te Ul gent farm ing, made possible by the use of fer I tillsere, yield one bale to each aore, or the equivalent, of other crops. Pov ! ort jr stricken sections of one or two 1 generation* ago have been transform- ? : ed into populous and proaperoua com- ; munition. Our ability to rebuild and ! make our lands more fertile haa en abled people to live and settle in jjioro de? ira ble communities, and to enjoy advantages of better marketa, Bchools, j churches and social conditions. Bot ter rural conditions have mada tho ? "back to the farm" m o vom ont not only a possibility, but a reality. Proeperity Due to Fertilisers ! Whatever may be the direct benefit, lt is obvious from a study of the sit uation that the present prosperity and greater population ba South 'Carolina ta doe more largely to the use of commercial fertilisers than to any oth ; et cause, because In South Carolina 1 fertilisers are absolutely nooessary to' j profitable agriculture, upon which moat cf our business and other Industrie? depend. Had M not been for the USP of commercial fertilisers South Caro ? lina could not be considered an agri cultural state. I Taking Into consideration the cost 1 cf fertilisers, statistlos will bear out j j the statement that the one? worn ov t j Aim At Abox j Yields J (From Progrese!re Farmer, Dec. 31.) Fer the average Southern fanner, j we cannot think of a better resolution for the New Tear than one calling \ tor better than average yields. Aver I age yields, whatever the orop, mean, orer a period cf years, little more than a living wage. But as the indi vidual farmer rises above the average, his net profits, nine times in ten, corre spondingly rise. The man who raises cotton must see that our average of nbesi CQO til ir- ?: ? bale *?? ?ere caa only mean pouerty to the grower; the maa who grows corn and oats at our arerage rate of 16 to 20 buahels per acre must see that there can be no profit in such yields; our peanut and to ba ooo farmers, our dairy and general livestock farmers must see that so long as they are content with a mere ly arerage yield per aore er per ani mal, Juet so long will they find the farming game unprofitable and unsat isfactory. Qood land, planted to good seeds and well fertilised md well Ulled ls the key to su'Mtessful farming; for good land, plus good seed, fertilisation and tillage, run ?jae high yields and good profits. In the new year, every farm er should aim at these; and in getting Child Dies From Hums. < i Creon vi Ile, Jan. 9.-Hollis Clapp, < three-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. f L. C.

C. and abandoned fields of South Caro lina yield a greater profit per aore than the richer river lands, once the pride of th? Southern cotton planter, or than thc more fertile land? of Texas. Land Values Increased Thle statement ts reflected ki the tact that these same lands la parla of South Carolina are selling freely for more than $100.00 ver acre. I have been dealing with the effect of the fertiliser Industry and the oso of fertilisers on agriculture, beoauae, as I hare said, the effects on business generally must result from the effect on agriculture, and it ls obvious that they must be Innumerable. The fer tiliser business In the South is one of the most important, and concerns our prosperity more directly than any other Industry, and in its effects no other Industry so ramifies Into other business or lins a greater effect on the Industries and business generally. ? Helps Railroads and Manufacturers Perhaps among the industries which are moro particularly and directly ben efited by the use of commercial fertil izers are the railroads and common j carriers, whloh firat bring fertilisers to the farmers, and In return trans port the Increased products of the farm to the ends of the earth; and finally when these products are sold, for a third time, the railroads are call ed upon to bring to thc farmer his supplies of foreign and domestic prod ucts. The use of fertiliser baa made mer* spindles in the South, more ell mHls, more live stock, more people and more commerce. The tobacco crop and cur trucking Industry, requiring intensive fertilisation and plant food, would be practically unknown to us. Ships bring raw material from foreign shores In greater quant lt len and bu return earry away more cotton and grain. Oheapens Cest of Preduolnn Crepe The commercial business bi affected in even greater (proportion than the farmer himself, and there ls no farm er in the South who ls net benefited by the Judicious use of commercial fertiliser. Large oropa give te tte people a greater nu indy *t a lower oost of production and at a lower prloe to the consumer, while on the other hand small crops not only increase the coal ot production, but may inoreaae in even greater proportion the prloe to the consumer. When harvests are abundant the consumer and producer alike share in the increased prosper Ity. Other moans of cheapening the coat of production can be used profitably only on a very large or on & very small scale, but. fertilizers can be ap plied with practically the same suc cess to the smallest as well as the largest undertaking from the individ ual plant in the flower pot to th? thou sand acre cotton field. It was my pleasure some years ago to know many more manufacturers and dealers in fertilisers than I know at pr?sent, but 1 wish to testify to the high character and intelligence of those with whom 1 became associated. The proper use of commercial fertil iser by the farmer is obviously of vital importance to ibo fertiliser ladtosife/ as well as to the farmer, and lt ls a matter that should receive thought and careful consideration at all ttsnee hy those who promote the Industry. >e - the- Average In 1919 i them, K should bo remembered that ! rather liberal expenditures are fuott fiable. Por instance, when a bale af cotton wltb the seed la worth ?160, eur average per acre yield of one-third et a bale in worth $60; but when we la crease this to two-thirds of a bale, worth $100, we have a gross profit of $60 with which to pay for the oost ef the increase. Of coarse the cost of this increased yield, if tho matter be gone about judiciously, will practically never be as much as $60. More often than not, in tact, lt will be $26 er less, leaving a net profit of $26 or more per acra. And the same rule will hold with other crops and livestock aa well. The higher the yield per acre or per animal, within certain limits, the greater the net return. The new year and the years te some hold gi cat things for the thinking, pro gressive, business-like farmer. Prices promise to remain good for a long time, and fair profits seem certain for the man who farms right. Let us, as our first New Tear roselu tlon, aim at putting our farms ea a big-yielding, money . making baals.
