Farmer-Banker Discusses Real Value
Experience, Observation and 5
to Vital Southern Problem?f
Bright Williamson,
Agriculture is the bed rock and
foundation upon which every other industry
must stand or fall. All the
people prosper or fail to prosper ao
cording to tne aounaance 01 ui? narvest
of the soil, and upon agriculture
depends the prosperity and happiness
of the world.
Better methods of agriculture Include
the use of modern implements,
modern cultivation and soil improvement.
This brings us directly to the
Importance of the fertilizer industry
as a means of improving our soils. Fertilizers
are absolutely essential in order
to increase the fertility of the soil.
They have a direct effect upon agricultural
production and through the
products of agriculture a direct effect
upon all other industries.
Anything which contributes to an
Increase in our agricultural productions,
contributes to the welfare, comfort
and prosperity of our people as
a whole; and this brings us directly
to the consideration of the importance
of the fertilizer industry in relation to
other lines of business.
Fertilizers Necessary In South
The very nature of our soil, climate
and rainfall makes it impossible to
rarra successiuuy wiuum i?(uisiij
feeding our crops from artificial
sources with at least two of the several
principal elements entering into
the composition and development of
plant life. Without fertilizers much of
the best producing cotton lands in the
Bouth would become unproductive and
farming would be unprofitable. In
many states, except in a few localities,
soil is no more capable of producing
without being fertilized than
stock is capable of performing work
without being fed. Our lands must be
fed just as we feed the stock that
work them or they will become too
poor to even pay the cost and expense
of cultivation.
Transformed Sections
Large sections of land in various
parts of the South Atlantic States, forty
or fifty years ago, required four
or five acres to produce one bale of
cotton, which now, by intelligent farming,
made possible by the use of fertilizers,
yield one bale to each acre,
*w th? ?nnivalent. of other crops. Pov
Ttj stricken sections of one or two
fenerations ago have been transformad
Into populous and prosperous communities.
Our ability to rebuild and
make our lands more fertile has enabled
people to lire and settle in ?iore
desirable communities, and to enjoy
advantages of better markets, schools,
churches and social conditions. Better
rural conditions have made the
"hack to the farm" movement not only
a possibility, but a reality.
Prosperity Due to Fertilizers
Whatever may be the direct benefit,
It Is obvious from a study of the situation
that the present prosperity and
greater population In South Carolina
is due more largely to the use of
eommerclal fertilizers than to any other
cause, because in South Carolina
fertilizers are absolutely necessary "to
profitable agriculture, upon which moBt
of our business and other industries
depend. Had it not been for the use
of commercial fertilizers South Carolina
could not be considered an agricultural
Btate.
Taking Into consideration the cost
of fertile rs, statistics will bear out
the Btatemnnt that the once worn out
Aim At 1
Yields .
(From Progressive Fanner, Dec. 11.)
For the average Southern fanner,
we cannot think of a better resolution
for the New Year than one calling
for better than average yields. Average
yields, whatever the crop, mean,
over a period of years, little more
than a living wage. But as the individual
farmer rises above the average,
his net profits, nine times In ten, correspondingly
rise. The man who raises
cotton must see that our average of
about one-third of a bale per acre can
only mean poverty to the grower; the
J man who grows corn and oats at our
average rate of 15 to 20 bushels per
acre must see that there can be no
profit in such yields; our peanut and
tobacco fanners, our dairy and general
livestock farmers must see that so
long as they are content with a merely
average yield per acre or per animal,
just so long will they find the
farming game unprofitable and unsatisfactory.
Good land, planted t.o good seeds
and well fertilized and well tilled is the
key to successful farming; for good
land, plus good seed, fertilization and
tillage, means high yields and good
profits. In the new year, every farmto
should aim at these: and in eettine

and abandoned flolds of South Carolina
yield greater profit per acre
than the richer river lands, once the
pride of the| Southern cotton planter,
or than thej more fertile lands of
Texas. J
LandlVaiues Increased
This statement is reflected in the
fact that these same lands in parts
of South Carolina are selling freely
for more than $100.00 per acre.
I have been dealing with the effect
of the fertilizer industry and the use
of fertilizers on agriculture, because,
as I have said,,the effects on business J
generally must result from the effect
on agriculture, and it is obvious that
they must be Innumerable. The fertilizer
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 has a greater effect on the
industries and business generally.
' and Manufacturers
neifJS nam uauo anu
Perhaps among the industries which
are more particularly and directly benefited
by the use of commercial fertilisers
are the railroads and common
carriers, which first bring fertilize
to the farmers, and in return transport
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 called
upon to bring to the farmer his
supplies of foreign and domestic products.
The use of fertilizer has made more
spindles in the South, more oil mills,
more live stock, more people and more
commerce. The tobAceo crop and our
trucking industry, requiring intensive
fertilization and plant food, would be
practically unknown to us. Ships tfrlng
raw material from i^reign shores in
greater quantities anil in return carry
away more cotton aid grain.
Cheapens Cost of P'oducing Crops
The commercial business is affectod
in even greater proportion than the
fanner himself, and taere is no farmer
in the South who Is not benefited
by toe judicious use m ?juuu?iuu .
fertilizer, l^arge crops give tn the
people a greater supply at a lower coat
of production and at a lower prloe
to the consumer, while on the other
hand Bmall crops not on!y increase the
cost of production, but nay increase la
even greater proportiot the prloe to
the consumer. When harvests are
abundant the consumer and producer
alike share la the increued prosper
ity.
Other means of cheapening the east
of production can be uied profitably
only on a very large of on a rsry
small scale, but fertilisers can be applied
with practically tto same suocess
to the smallest as fwell as the
largest undertaking from he lndlrldual
plant in the flower pot o the thousand
acre cotton field.
It was my pleasure some years ago
to know many more maiufacturers
and dealers in fertilizers than I know
at present, but I wish to testify to
the high character and intelligence of
those with whom I became ilsociated.
The proper use of comL<ertlal fertiliser
by the farmer is obvious/ of vital
importance to the fertilizer'industry
as well as to the farmer, aol it Is a
matter tbat should reoelve thcight and
careful consideration at all lines by
those who promote the lndusry.
ve- the-Average
In 1919
[them, It should be rememberd that
rather liberal expenditures an justifiable.
For instance, when a laleN of
eotton with the seed is worth $1.0, our
average per acre yield of one-thid of a
bale is worth $50; but when ve increase
this to two-thirds of a bale,
worth $100, we have a gross prdt of
$50 with which to pay for the c?st of
the increase. Of course the cat of
this increased yield, if the matte- be
gone about judiciously, will practhally
never be as much as $50. More <Tten
than not, in fact, it will be $25 or ess,
leaving a net profit of $23 or moreper
acre. And the same rule will hold vith
other crops and livestock as well, he
higher the yield per acre or per aniual,
within certain limits, the greater *he
net return.
The new year and the ye^rs to cone
hold great things for the thinking, pogressive,
business-like farmer. Priws
promise to remain good for a loig
time, and fair profits seem certain br
the jnan who farms right.
Let us, as our first New Year resouHrm
aim nt nuttlne our farms on a
big-yielding, money - making bash.
There is no surer way for making firu
life more attractive and desirable anl
for keeping the boys and girls on th<^
farms.
