.r»- The Fanner Receives More Than Rve Thousand DoDars a Minute From __ Swift & Company ^his amount is paid to the fanner for live . stock, by Swift & Company alone, during the trading hours of every business day. ^ • AH this money is paid to the fanner through the open market in competition with large and small packers, shippers, speculators and dealers.- The. farmer, feeder, or shipper receives every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour, nearly $2,000,000 a day, $ll,50Q,000_a.week) in cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has . just sold is weighed up. Some of the money paid to the farmer dur ing a single day comes back to the company in' a month from sale of products; much does not come back for sixty or ninety days or more. But, the next day Swift & Company, to meet the demands made by .its customers, must pay out another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high -price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously tied up in goods on the way to market and in bills owed to the company. This gives an idea of the volume of the Swift & Company business and the requirements of financing it. Only by doing a large business can this company turn live stock into meat and by-products at- the lowest possible cost, prevent waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to retailers in all parts of the country — and be recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound—a profit too small to have any noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock. -• Swift & Company, U.

Agricultural Experiment Statidn, says: "The lack of Potash with us has been shown especially in cotton, tobacco and potatoes In coastal plain sections. This has been especially true of cotton and potatoes, more potash haoing beeh used on tobacco, relatively, than on these two crops. ” 4 ‘ Or. H. W. BARRE, director of S. G Agricultural Experiment Station, says: * ' "Twill say that a survey recently made 0*the cotton situation in South Carolina leads us to be~ lieve that at least 25% reduction in the cotton crop has resulted this year from lack of potash. In some , cases not more than half a Cfapr has been produced on light land that is very defat;.I in potash. The appearance of the plants indicates that what is known as potash hunger is responsible for the decreased yield. IVe are, therefore, recommending that liberal amounts of potash be used in fertitizets for cotton nexl year. At the usual rates of application I feel that it will pay to use as much as 3% of potash at the present prices.' 9 Enquire of Royster Dealers. Place orders early. . — F. S. ROYSTER GUANO CO.
