THREE BALES PER ACRE
GROWN ON FIVE-ACRE
TRACT?HOW YIELDS
WERE OBTAINED
By C. A. McLendon, Soil Improvement
Committee.
The Farm Journal. Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, conducted a cotton production
contest for the season of 1919,
tiv awarded to
ana prizes wcic * --j ?
the three farmers producing the highest
yields per acre on five-acre test
patches.
The first prize of a gold medal and
one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) was
awarded to J. O. M. Smith, Commerce,
Georgia; the second prize of a silver
medal and five hundred dollars
($500.00) went to S. J. White. Sumter,
South Carolina; and the third prize
of a bronze medal and two hundred
and fifty dollars ($250.00) was given
to William Peterson, Clinton, North
Carolina.
All of these farmers practiced the
same general meth of production,
-such as selection of the best land available,
thorough preparation, the use
of the best seed obtainable, good cultivation,
and proper harvesting.
The winner of the first prize applied
per acre 2.200 pounds of a complete
fertilizer (10-2-2), analyzing 10
per cent of phosphoric acid, 2 per
cent ammonia, and 2 per cent of potash.
He also used 1,200 pounds of
acid phosphate and 11 tons of stable
ncr ar?re. anDiving all of the
Ui v jf ~? 7 - * * - ?
fertilizer just, before planting time.
He planted the Piedmont Pedigreed
Cleveland seed, and his yield of lint
\
cotton per acre on the test patch was
1,360 pounds, or approximately three
bales. Cotton at 40 cents per pound
and seed at $80.00 per ton, the average
yield of 165 pounds of lint per acre in
Georgia last season amounted to $78.80
for the lint and seed; whereas, the
yield of 1,360 pounds- of lint per acre
on this patch sold for $625.60 for the
lint and seed, making a difference in
returns per acre of $546.S0.
The winner of the second prize used
per acre 1,000 pounds of a complete
fertilizer (8-3-3), analyzing 8 per cent
of phosphoric acid, 3 per cent of ammonia,
and 3 per cent of potash, all
being applied at planting time. Ha
also applied 200 pounds of nitrate of

are usually made with profit.
A pamptret containing results obtained
Li 1919 by these and other prominent
cotton farmers is now in course
of preparation, and will be ready for
distribution within the near future by
the Soil Improvement Committee. More
details will be given in this pamphlet
and fle'nite recommendations as to
the use of fertilizers for cottos will
mads.
' soda per acre about the 25th of June.
He planted the Cleveland Big Boll
seed, and his yield of lint cotton per
. acre on the test patch was 1,197
pounds, or approximately two and twofifths
bales of 500 pounds each. Cotton
at 40 cents per pound and seed
at $80.00 per ton, the average yield
of 220 pounds of lint per acre in South
Carolina last year amounted to $105.12
for the lint and seed; whereas the
yield of 1,197 pounds of lint per acre
on this patch sold for $556.92 for the
tint and seed, making a difference in
returns per acre of $451.80.
The winner of the third prize applied
1,000 pounds per acre of a mixture
of fish scrap, acid phosphate and
cotton seed meal, broadcasting all of
this with stable manure just before
planting time. He also made a side
application o? nitrate of soda in the
middle of the growing season.
- s He planted the Peterson's Improved
seed, and his yield of lint cotton per
acre on the test patch was 1,040
pounds, or slightly over two 500-pound
bales. Cotton at 40 cents per pound
and seed at $80.00 pe^ton, the average
. yield of 280 pounds of lint per acre
iw Mnrth Carolina last y#ar amounted
to $133.72 for the lint and seed, whereas
the yield of 1,040 pounds of lint
per acre on this patch sold for $493.84
for the lint and seed, making a difference
in returns per acre of $380.12.
Taking into consideration the cost
of picking and handling the extra
amount of cotton produced and the
extra amount of fertilizer applied on
these test patches, there is still a balance
of returns in favor of these higher
yields of from $300.00 to $400.00 per |
ac 8, which is well worthy of the
deepest consideration on the part of
the cotton farmers who expect to produce
cottou with profit under the
present conditions.
In the profitable production of cotton
in the future larger yields per
acre will be the keynote of success.
This can be accomplished by practicing
more intensive methods, including
the intelligent use of commercial fertilisers.
To obtain the best results in
producing cotton a liberal application
of ? complete fertilizer should be made
at p1 anting time, and where the boll

People with kidney ills want to be
sured. When one suffers the tortures
of an aching back, relief is eagerly
nought for. There are many remedies
today that relieve, but do not
cure*. Doan's Kidney Pills have
brought lasting results to thousands.
Here is Elamberg evidence of their
merit.
Mrs. Sallie Moody, 31 Main St.,
says: "My back ached. I had dizzy
spells and could hardly straighten
mp. My kidneys were also irregular
in action. I used Doan's Kidney Pills
and they entirely cured me of my
trouble."
