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

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.

TALK IT OVER WITH YOUR FERTILIZER MANTI
L \ He will tell you
\ ?-?" J
| 1?" 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
