o
COTTON' FACTS.
Cotton acreage must bo reduced,
and the reduction must be adequate.
Anything less than 50 per cent compared
with last year will nearly be
ad equateThere
is now enough cotton in the
world unspun to last nearly two
years.
, The world will carry over this year
more American cotton than was spun
the past twelve months.
The carry-over, including linters,
may apprr ruinate 11,000,000 bale, or
from five to six times a normal carry-over
of American cotton.
The United States cannot consume
more than about 6,000,000 bales of
cotton annually.
Europe, which ordinarily takes the
surplus of tin? American crop, or
about 50 per cent of the crop, is very
unpromising as a market, because of
depreciated currency and lack of security
to offer as a basis of credit.
The buying power of thc. world is
fat below normal, but the supply of
cotton is now vastly in excess of every
normal requirement.
It will cost more to produce a new
crop than i, can be sold for at present
prices and there is no present
ninstlPOf that nciros will nHunnoo
Cotton can now be bought cheaper
than it can be produced. It is better,
therefore, to buy cotton or to hold
\vhaL you now wn than to grow more.
Every bale purchased tends t0 advance
prices; every acre planted
tends to make price sgo down.
Unless cotton can be produced
profitably it would be worse than
folly to attempt to produce it at allIt
is impossible to recover losses
by incurring more losses?thut is the
road to bankruptcy.
Unless cotton can be sold it will
not pay debts or taxes, neither can
wc eat it.
Cotton is no longer a cash commodity.
A For the first time in your life,
it is difficult if not impossible to sell
cotton.
The cotton farmer, at the best, receives
returns for his labor but once
a year. He turns his capital only
once a year, whereas under a divervi
sified system of farming, return*: are
received many times a year.
Any one crop system is uneconomic
because under it no plan of farm
management con be devised which
will glve a maximum yearly use of
tools, equipment and labor. The one
crop farmer, particularly the cotton
farmer, finds it difficult if not impossible
to keep himself profitably employed
the year round.
If you grow cotton without growing
food for man and feed for beast,
we shall all be worse off than bankrupt,
maybe starving this winter
when the winds whistles through our
V meatless smoke houses and cornless
9 corn cribs.
\ Diversified farming will raise the
standard of liv'ng in the South.
Diversified farming will make
healthier and happier women and
children, more and better schools and
churches, manlier and more contented
men. In short, a more ambitious,
better educated, thinking and more
Intillifnnf olH7An?liln
Farmers who have depended entirely
upon cotton and cotton alone,
are virtually bankrupt today, whereas
farmers who have diversified more
or less, have food for themselves and
families and feed for their stock and
money in bank.

J OF PEsTiLIZERS
FERTILIZERS ARE CHEAP \
AGAIN.
Practice of Side Application Will
Ee Extensively Followed
This Year. 1
| i
I
I Atlanta, Ga? April.?Reports receiv- !
f d from fertilizer companies indicate i
that the Southern farmer fell a good !
doal short of using as much fertilizer* j
ai pianung time this year as usual. Sev .
eral reasons are assigned. One Is that ^
| the farmers waited for the price of j
! fertilizers to fall with tho expectation 11
of using them in creator quantities j
| than tho usual amount as side applica- t
i tions to the growing crops. j
It seems that the practico of side ap- j
1 plication of fertilizers Is quite common- (
, ly followed by successful Southern , i
i farmers. In fact, the Williamson neth-ji
' od of growing corn that is popular in j
tho coastal plains region of tho South, f
' provides that no f"rtilizer bo applied ,i
except as side applications to the corn 1
crop. j 1
On tho question of side application' 1
' of fertilizers, J. N. Harper, director u* '
the Soil Imp: ovei,;'nt Committee and '
recn.qniz d authority on agricultural 1
methods of ti. P?> pit. says, that there '

i it will b> hotter to make both th side '
: applications of complete fertilisers and
I the nitrogen top dressing within six
weeks after planting, where the boil
weevil is present.
For corn, he states that sido applications
are quite generally made too late
to got the best results. Ou clay loam j
or heavy soils he advise? n side application
and nitrogen dressing when the <
corn is front kneo to waist high. For
6andy or light soils, ho says that side
applications can be made later, that Is,
when the corn Is waist to shoulder ;
high, but before it begins to bunch to
tassel.
Mr. Harper says that care must bo '
taken to use only reaolly available j
forms of fertilizer so that the growing
I plants can utilize them In promoting 1
i rapid growth and development of fruit. '
The fertilizer should contain phosphoric
acid in the form of acid phosphate.
This is the main element for
hastening maturity. The fertilizer
I should also contuiu nitrogen and potash
1 In the readily available form. Nitrogen
promotes the growth of the stalk and
leaves and potash strengthens the plant
, and helps fill out tho fruit.
' A top dressing of sulfate of ammonia
' or nitrate of soda is quite commonly
made, and, according to Mr. Harper, it
should follow closely after the second
application of fertilizer, and within the
j periods of cotton and corn growth
which ho mentions above.

AVOID MISTAKES IN
POISONING EOLL WEEVIL
I
j Weevils Can Be Poisoned With
Profit.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, through its hull weevil
experts. Profs. It. It. Coad and T. P.
Cassidy, have Issued a statement, a
part of which is entitled "Where It 1
Will Pay You to Poison." This part
Is as follows:
It will pay to poison?
If the weevils are really injuring
] your crop seriously, and
If your land is sufficiently fertile
I to yield at least one-half hale per acre
with weevil injury eliminated, and
i If your farming organization is such
1 that you feel assured that the poison
applications will be made at the right '
time and in the right manner, and
If you are willing to spend the full i
, amount necessary to provide an adequate
supply of dusting machinery and
1 poison.
' The general gains from weevil poi'
soning under average, fairly favorablo
i conditions seem to be from 200 to 400 i
{ pounds of seed cotton per aero, but,
owing to variations in degree of wee- j
i ril injury it in not safe to expect much |
more than the lower figure.
Consequently, you should not poison
if the coat of the calcium arsenate,
the cost of labor to apply it,
and the depreciation on the dusting
machines will total more per acre |
than the current value of 100 pounds i
of seed cotton.
Hand guns should be figured as do- '
predating 100 per cent in a season and
the larger machines about 25 per cont. I
Do It Rlflht Or Not At All
Many valuablo lessons have been
gained from the recent expension of
commercial weevil poisoning. It has
again heen shown that the bell weevil
can be poisoned with profit if conditions
are favorable t.nd If proper
methods are used, but it has been emphasized
anew that unfavorable conditions
and improper methods can lead
only to failure. A survey of the poisoning
by farmers in 1920 shows that
I an unfortunately largo proportion were
not properly informed as to the condlI
tior3 und'.r which they should poison
and iho methods they should pursue.
' s a result thore wore many unnecea^..ry
failures. '
