RAW OFFICIAL WARNS [ARMENS
TO OKU FERTILIZERS AT ONCE
Regional Director Winchell Finds Situation Is Becoming Pre*
carious and Urges Farmers Not to Delay Till Last Moment.
The following statement has been issued to the press by the United
States Regicnal Director of Railways, about the fertilizer movement:
"Please let me say a word to out farmer patrons.
"The normal yearly movement of fertilizers in this region runs from
three million to five million tons. This means, in round figuses, 160,000
carloads to be handled.
"Ordinarily most of this very larsre item of traffic is thrown on the
railroads in the months of January, February and March. Great activity
on their part is necessary to handle the same well.
“By February 10 at least 40 per cent of the whole fertilizer tonnage
has usually been shipped, but this year less than-15 per cent has moved
so far; that is to say,.the movement up to date is about 50,000 cars short
of what It should have been.
“It is easy for you to see what I fear.
“A flood of business at the last moment cannot be moved to the
satisfaction of our patrons and complaints will surely follow. We are
anxious to avoid complaints, but it is obvious that we cannot move all
of this tonnage at one time. In order to do the job right it is neces
sary that it be well distributed throughout the whole three months.
“During the past four or five weeks car conditions and weather have
been favorable, but the fertilizers have not moved freely and immediate
activity is now necessary to avoid a condition which will be serious alike
to the farmers and the railroads.”

Fertilizers should be applied in kind and puantlty that experience
bas taught will bring the largest profits to the farmer. No more, no
less.
Profits in cotton production largely depend upon two factors, labor
and fertilizers. Both are now high in price.
Cotton requires a large amount of labor, more labor than any other
general field crop. Therefore, when the cost ot labor increases, the
profits of cotton production decrease rapidly and are easily wiped out.
Because cotton is so burdened^ with labor cost, It follows that profits
in producing it depend upon increasing the yield per acre; it depends
upon it more than most oilier crops. As a matter of fact, a great deal
of the cotton lands of the South are hardly fertile enough to pay the labor
cost of producing a crop of cotton. Therefore, fertilizers have been depended
upon to give the farmer the only profit he could expect to get out of
producing the crop. It is plain, then,that to cut down fertilizer applica
tions would mean simply cutting down the farmers’ profits. It also seems
to be clear that any farmer having any kind of land can not afford to
let high labor cost sweep away his profits through a failure to use the
necessary amount of fertilizers.
Fertilizers are high priced, it is true. But, after all, it is not so
much the price as the protit-producing power of the fertilizers that should
be a guide. Fertilizers increase yields at the lowest possible labor cost.
In other words, they save labor, and since labor is the biggest and
most expensive factor in making a crop of cotton, then fertilizers save
expense and make profits more certain.

according to advice which has been
presented to Atlanta firms by the

Roger \V. Babson, director general

That the opinions of Mr. Babson, a
