mi.i.n.m, ...UB.IIY ..IUU-U. ?:? Will We Keep Our Feet on The Ground? (Guy A. Card wall, Agricultural and Induatrial Agent, Atlantic Count Lino Kail road Company.) The Bureau b( Agricultural Kco oomicH, U. H. Department of Agriculture, issued the following statement on March Kith: [' "Farm Products Demand and Price# Strengthen." Continued strong demand and Hlightly higln-r pricoa for a number of farm productu during the neur future were forecast today by the Jiureau of Agricultural Economics. I'rlceH of graina and cuttle are a little higher than a month ago, hog pricea are aume and coiton price* have fimvancod. A few commodities ar^ priced lower. During tile next tlilrty daya the Uureau expect a prices of feed graina, hoga, wool, butter and egga to flucluate around current levels, and prices of cattle, lumha, poultry, fruits and potaloea to advance. Continued atrong demand for farm products ia Indicated by the good outlook for industrial production and consumer incomes, the Jiureau pointed out. Marring extended labor disputes, a further Improvement in induatrial a<livil\ during the next few months was forecast. Some highlights in the agricultural situation are the greatly reduced aupi, piles of wheat in sui plus-producing n countries, relatively rapid disappearance of small feed grain supplies, in- j creased exports of American cotton, an increase la slaughter supplies of bogs lu Jute April and May, higher prices for the better grades of slaughter cattle, and somewbut higher prices for spring lambs. The llureau said that relatively small Increases in numbers of milk cowh arc in prospect this year and next, thai the seasonal decline in egg prices seems to. he about over, that prices of all fruits except strawberries are likely to advance more than usual during the spring months, and thai present indications point to increased supplies and generally lower prices of most truck crops." What will be the reaction of the Southern (arm. r to this report of I conditions and the forecast of early future conditions? Will In- be wise j and go ahead with his plans to build j a well halatieed farming s\stem while he is in financial condition to do this, or will In- lot his desire for cotton money i 11II u e ii i e him to expand hist cotton acreage and abandon oHior. crop and livestock plans? While traveling over sonic of the' cucumber growing sections in Souilr Carolina recently I heard on all sides that the cucumber acreage would probably be curtailed, because of advancing cotton prices. Cucumber growers have had hard sledding for several years due to adverse weather; but this may be the year for a good yield of good quality cucv.mbrrs, and a reasonably strong demand. Seine years ago cucuruberx were one m our best paying truck crops, and I believe they still have a place in the scheme of things. Cotton is line if supported by other crops, but cotton alone or any other one crop is too hazardous to contemplate with an easy state of mind.

N Y POTASH I STOPS RUST and STARTS PROFITS I Ask four Fertilizer Man why so many successful farmers top-dress cotton with NV POTASH. He will tell you that leading southern experiment stations, after long and extensive tests, now recommend potash as well as nitrogen as a top-dresser. He will tell you that during the last ten years thousands of farmers have found that NV POTASH STOPS RUST and ; STARTS PROFITS. That the many extra pounds of valuable seed cotton added to your crop by potash top-dressing are very profitable because they are produced at such low cost. Top-dressing with NV POTASH keeps cotton strong and healthy, maturing fruit until a full crop is made (including a good top crop). It PREVENTS RUST, helps control Wilt and produces strong, vigorous plants with less shedding, larger ,'J^H bolls that are easier to pick and better. v'|^H yields of uniform, high-quality lint. ?. Follow your fertilizer man's advice. Topdress with 100 pounds of NV MURIATK M per acre, or 200 pounds of Ny KAINIT, or 1 use his nitrogen-potash, mixed-goods topdresser made with genuine NV-POT ASH. i Remember, NV POTASH PAYS! N. V.
