to plant one g<v>d variety of cotton

A Preacher of Farming

your typical average county agent
He’s a sort of preacher aUiut
farming instead of religion. Yet
how often does he get credit for
trying? Or for knowing what he’s
talking about? Still, Fou.. Rows

who make money year in and year
out always listen when the county
agent talks. • The money may be
due to tbe listening, or the listening
may be due to the money, but some

One-Variety Cotton
“Advantages may be expected by
one-variety cotton communities
above the prices obtained by com
munities that produce a miscellane
ous crop,” says the 1927 Yeari)ook
of Agriculture. “This is shown by
experience in communities where the
8<!ed is kept pure and a uniform fiber
is pnxiueed. In ('aliforiiia, Ari
zona and New Mexico omv variety
cornmunitii's have been maintaiiied

Save Labor Cost With V-C
V-C Fertilizers are cheaper than
labor, so why 'not let them lower
your costa? Instead of 300 pounds
per acre on three acres of cotton, for
instance, try the whole 900 pounds
on one acre. You won’t save any
thing on the fertiliser, of ooume.
But, man, what you’ll taee on labor
