South Carolina having used 280 pounds per crop acre, Georgia 218 pounds, Alabama 210 pounds. Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee each 200 pounds. Other States used still less. Little com mercial fertilizer is used west of the Mississippi river. North Caro lina also used commercial fertilizer on the highest percentage of cot ton crop area-95 per cent. In Virginia it was used on 93 per cent of the cotton crop area, in South Carolina on 88 per cent, in Georgia on 83 per cent, in Florida on 80 per cent, in Alabama on 78 per cent, in Mississippi on 30 per cent, in Tennessee on 25 per cent, in Louisiana on 20 per cent, in krkansas on 15 per cent and in Texas only on 2 per cent. In the- cost of fertilizer per acre of cotton using it, North Carolina again led with an average of $6.35. In Virginia the average per acre was $6.19, in South Carolina $4.12, in Georgia, $3.23, in Arkansas $3.02, in Mississippi $2.95, in Alabama $2.92, in Louisiana $2.85, in Texas $2.68, in Florida $2.65 and in Ten nessee $2.05. * Comparisons cannot be ' made with former years because this was the first year this inquiry has beeg3 made in its present form. ONE THOUSAND 'MORE MEMBERS Last Chance to Sign With 78000 Grow ere Next Monday. Two million pounds more of tobacco were signed up with the Tri-State pool in South Carolina last week. "A Thousand Members More" is the slog an for the few days that remain un til July 31st, when the last contract from South Carolina will be signed. The closing up of all auction ware houses in a number of the large mar ket towns is aiding the landslide of contracts which pours into head quarters. The business men and bankers of Florence set the pace in the campaign ing last week (luring which forty to fifty business men of the headquart ers town solicited contracts for the Association with highly successful re sults. -One hundred contracts mailed in from ake City last week have added to the thousands of acres of Associa tion tobacco which now surround the biggest market of the State. Mullins is another market which is now surrounded by co-operative grow ers who have been backed steadily FORD RETAIL SALES MAKE NEW RECORD Company Reperts Total Sales Have Reached 5,709 Machines a Day Retail sales of Ford cars trucks and tractors established a nW high record during June,. when, according to a statement issued from the Ford Factory at Detroit, an average of 5, 709 machines were sold daily. Ford sales have been showing a constant increase each month thi year; June being the- highest in the history of the Company with a total of 148,439 cars, trucks and tractors. Of this number, 6,054 wecre sold by the Ford Company of Canada and 9, 435 by the various European Fordl Companies andl South American Branches, reaching purchasers in practically every civilized country in the wvorld. With the closing of business for June, Ford records dIsclosed the fact that total sales for the first six months of 1922 were well over the half-million mark, the exact figures being 652,261. This is also a new high record as it is considerably in advance of any previous half-year period. July Ford sales are expected to equal, andl probably eclipse June. The estimated output of cars, trucks and tractors has been pl1aced at 151,767, altliough dlealers have requisitioned more than 200,000. Ford officials state that every at tempt has been madle to supply their (dealers with sufficient cars to fill their orders, but that for the past three months, prompt dleliveries have been imp~ossible with some of the types. The dlemand for Fordl enclosedl cars has been especially hard to meet, due to the ever-increasing popularity of the Coupe and Sedan for all year around use. A reflection of general business con ditions is. even in the record of Fordl truck sales, wvhich show an increase of eighty-four cent over last year. Merchants andl farmers alike have come to recognize the utility of the motor truck in cutting transportation costs and speeding up deliveries, and the fact that they are buying nearly twice as many now as a year ago clearly points to better business con ditions. At the present time Ford is employ ing 7500men in Detroit.--Adv.

Manning is another town which is heavily'backing the co-operative mar keting movement. The recent trans for of R. D. Clark's warehouse has made Manning another strong co operative center. With 78,000 members in the Asso eiation today, with forty million dol lars behind the Association, with town after tdwn closing the Auction houses with a landslide of new members join ing daily, the slogan of "A Thousand Members More" should become a fact by the night of Monday, July 31st. Next Monday marks the last chance for the farmers of South Carolina to sign the contract which has been call ed their New Declaration of Indepen dence and the purest form of democ racy practiced in America.
