Toe winner of the first prize ap plied per acre 2.200 pounds of a com plete fertilizer (10-2-2), analyzing 10 per cent of phosphoric acid. 2 per cent ammonia, and 2 per cent of pot ash. He also used 1,200 pounds of acid phosphate and 11 tons of stable manure per acre, applying all of the fertilizer just before planting time. He planted the Piedmont Pedigreed Cleveland seed, and his yield of lint cotton per acre on the test patch was 1.3«0 pounds, or approximately three bales. Cottou at 40 centa per pound and seed at $$0.00 per tou, the average yield of IfiS pounds of lint per acre in Georgia last season amounted to $78.30 for the lint and seed; whereas, the yield of l v $$0 pounds of lint per acre on this patch sold for $$25.S0 for the lint and seed, making a difference In returns per acre of $5H>.80. The winner of the second prize used per acre 1,000 pounds of a complete fertilizer (8-3-3), analyzing 8 per cent of phosphoric acid, 3 per cent of am monia, and 3 per cent of potash, all being applied at planting time. He also applied 200 pounde of nitrate of soda per acre about the 25th of June. He planted the Cleveland Big Boil seed, and his yield of lint cotton per acre on the test patch was 1.197 pounds, or approximately two and two- fifths bales of 500 pounds each. Cot ton at 40 cents per pound and seed at $80.00 per ton. the average yield i of 220 pounds of lint per acre in South Carolina last year amounted to $105.12 for the lint and seed: whereas the yield of 1.197 pounds of lint per acre on this patch sold for $556.92 for the lint and seed, making a difference in returns per acre of $451.80. The winner of the third prize ap plied 1.000 pounds per acre of a mix ture of fish scrap, acid phosphate and cotton seed meal, broadcasting all of this with stable manure just before planting time. He also made a side application of nitrate of soda in the middle of the growing season. He planted the Peteraon's Improved seed, and bis yield of lint cotton per acre on the lest patch was 1,040 pounds, or slightly over two 500-pound bales. Cotton at 40 cents per pound and seed at $80.00 per ton. the average yield of 280 pounds of lint per acre in North Carolina lest year amounted to $133.72 for the lint and seed, where as the yield "of 1,040 pounds of lint per acre on this patch sold for $493.84 for the lint and seed, making a dif ference in returns per acre of $360.12. Taking into consideration the cost of picking and handling the extra amount of cotton produced and the extra amount of fertiliser applied on those test patches, there ia still a bal ance of returns in favor of these high er yie’.da of from $300.00 to $400.00 per acre, which is well worthy of the deepest conalderation* on the part of the cotton farmers who expect »o pro duce cotton with profit under the presAOt* condition*. In the profitable production of cot ton in the future larger yields per acre will be the keynote of success This can be accomplished by practic log move intensive methods, inciuding the intelligent use of commercial fer tilizers. To obtain the best results in producing cotton a liberai application of a complete fertilizer should be made at planting time, and where the boll weevil is not present side applications are usually made with profit. A pamphlet containing results ob tained in 1919 by these and other prom inent cotton farmers is now in course of preparation, and will be ready for distribution within the near future by the Soil Improvement Committee. More details will be given in this pamphlet and dt-ttrile recommendations as to the use of fertilizers for cottas will he made. Florence Times Bureau, Wyatt A.t Taylor, Correspondent. Columbia. May 1—The cotton crop! this year will be the shortest in manyi years, according lv> a prediction I voiced today oy B. Harris, commis-! sioner of agriculture. Mr. Harris | tales that he believes the countrry' is facing a cotton famine. The short' ness will be fcecausce of the poorj reasons, the excessive rains and the low temperatures of the spiing. . The spinners, states Mr. Harris, | will he able to use all ot the cotton the world can produce and theiV some. There is only enough spinn- able cotton on the globe to hist the| cotton mills five or six months, says! Mr. Harris, and If the cotton holders will Just hold a little longer they * can get sixty cents for the! rstaple. jZ “The farmer can fix his own price, " * says Mr. Harris, “and the process is one of holding.” j Mr. Hart is states that reports, reaching his office from all sections of the South show that very little planting has been done, and in those few sections whore there has bee a planting, the germination has been poor, and the cotton supply will he -urtailed as a result. “It the farmer do'-sn’t get the price he wants for his cotton,” says the commissioner, "lie must nm blame it on the other fellow. It io simply a matter of holding.” In discussing the matter of supplies Mr. Harris states that he is confi dent the greatest need of America today is for men to “stay on the farm,’’ or to “go book to the farm.’ The young men. lie says, who are leav ing the farm are doing so to the loss of th<> economic welfare of the coun- trv.
