'^Penny Jf'ise, Pound Foolish”
A difference of a few cents for a
ton of fertilizer looks mighty puny
aloi^ide $4(X) a ton for cotton or
S800 a ton for tobacco. Yet some
misguided farmers will make half a
dozen trips to town and lose good
time and make their crops wait
they try to ^ct two or three tlimes
off in the price of their fertilizer.
Meanwhile their smarter neighbors
have gone on and bought —and
plowed—and planted.

the fight is on for profit' in cotton
fanning. Fidds lie flat in the
southwest, in the newer smls of
cheaper lands, and the crop ia made
wholesale by m^hines at low cost,
generally without iuni« fertiliser,
according to The Fertili^ Review:
and the yield runs around 125
pounds of lint cotton per acre.
North Can>liiUi,'~uiing feirtiliaor,
makes an average of 252 pounds—a
diffirenco of 127 pounds in favor of
North Carolina, or about $25.40
more per acre with cotton at 20
cents. The' southeastern farmer *
knows he’s got to use fertiliser in
