There may yet he some cotton farmers who are ignorant of the true situation regarding the price of their product. Some of them doubtless think that the low price is due to one thing while others think that it is due to entirely different CildfiC.}. J?ome of them will doubtless fail to ' carry out what is the sensible thing to /do under the conditions as thev now exist. There is much information contain ed in a circular letter, or statement, recently mailed out by M. C. A11 'good, Commissioner of Agriculture in the State of Alabama. In the Stats of Alabama the boll weevil has caused the cotton farmers to reducc their cotton acreage and to plant other things in place of cotton. The weevil has been in existence there for many years, so long that farmers have forgotten how they use to depend on cotton. Mr. Allgood has the matter figured out, we b?licvc. in a truthful and actual Tact way. Among the facts that he states arc the following: From 1892 to 1898 cotton soio tor irom iour lo six cents and at that time southern farmers planted cotton to buy the necessities of life. The farmer bought his supplies at high prices and gave the merchant a mortgage' tl-fJ; h? failed to pay and thus the cotton farmer van on the credit system. To remedy this, country) banks were organized ho the far? mers could obtain cash and trade at cas"h prices. He then changed from ;a credit to a cash system and lias "beer. able lo pay the banks until the crash came in 1920. Some people iue blaming' farmers for not selling their crops. They should not be blamed for this because they should not be expected to sell what they have raised at less- than what it cost them to produce it, unless obliged to. do so. Cotton at one time in 1020 v as selling at around 40c per pound. This cau ed about five million bales to be placed on the market- and this brought the price down to twelve i cents; and if the remaining eight million had been placed on the ma;*-| kot i'.t the same time cotton wou'd hu\v be bringing a- low as five cent per pound. With five cent cotton now we would go into this corning j fa'l market on a five cent basis also.l rand again experience times like those of the nineties. As the banks relieved the farmers from the furnishing system they can now avoid the bankruptcy of all the farmers in the South. They can do it by ex tending farmers' payments until July 1st., at which time the Government Acreage Report is made. If the Report shows that the acreage has been cut throughout the south from forty to fifty per cent then 'cotton will go up and farmers can tfpll on an advancing market. If the report shows but small cut in acreage, the banks can force the farmers to sell for whatever they can get n<* jt will be good policy to sell the old cotton before the new (irop comes in. Continuing the report says: 1 In 1914 many farmers were ruined because they could not be financed. Those that were financed sold 1914 cotton for twelve cents in 1915 and were saved. I rejoice that there ruas not been a bank failure the past Hf-.ason in Alabama, and I am as desiious as the bank officials, stockholders and depositors that this re]\n mmnininnrl. iinH I lw?1ir>vr? if the banks of tho south would unite on a policy of absolutely not lending ; ?w?^11 i i i i I Pure, Rich Blood $ Your Body Vigor n When impurities crcop into your blood the first symptoms are usu* nllj a 1668 of appetite, followed by a gradual lessening of energy, the Eystem becomes weaker day by, day, until you feel yourself on the verge of a breakdown. * Nearly everybody needs a few bottles of S. S. S., the great vegetable blood remedy, to cleanse out < all impurities about twice a year, [t is an excellent idea to take this money to farmers to prow cotton this year, and agree to force sale of cotton after July if reduction is not forty per cent they can save the south from five cents, cotton, or they can call loans now and drive cotto a down to five ccnts and this would certainly help reduce the acreage but would break thousand > of farmers. It looks like the bankers and farmers cooperating can save the day or with bankers calling loan now or with farmers refusing to reduce one-half throughout the entire south there is destruction now and hereafter. o BANKRUPT SALE By virtue of the Order of the Court duly made in the matter of R.

FARM f.RflPQ t r f ?% ? ? VII V/l V/ Stable Manure Supplies Many Plant Food Elements and Adds Humus to the Soil?Calcium Should be Api plied I Howard Eldridge, Porterv.'ile, New York, writes as follows: "1 am a farmer living in Eric1, county, New York. The coil raises very good crops in everything excepting wheat and oats. The average yield of this grain for the past few years has been lifteen or twenty bushels to the acre, as compared Id fifty bushels to an acre a few years ago. How can this land be im i proved?" The principal plant food elements are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium. These are necessary for i I the production of crops. If any one j of these elements is deficient, it will i mean that the crop production will be ! lessened. Continuous capping without rotation, combined with poor cultivation, is bound to result, in decreased yields. The nitrogen can be replenished by , growing leguminous crops, such as ' clovers, cowpeas, soy beans, vetches, | etc. Also, by applying stable manure, . Or plowing nnrlpj' a legume as a green fcian uring crop. By doing this you ' not only supply nitrogen to your soil, hut vmi ittiiMvu'fi i?o ^ ..t* I't vr * \ HO Jill J OIV. i.1 I tWIIU by adding vein table matter. Very few soils require1 potassium, < This oRjxcially so of sandv soils. I , i a 11hough it' the soil is not in gooc1 | physical condition, the potassium may | not 1 ?f availal le, hut !f you supply the vegetable matter either in the form of j green manure or stable manure, it will tend to make the potassium available It may be necessary to supply phosphorus in the form of a commercial fertilizer, which may be done by usin?? I finely ground phosphate rock, provid ing the soil is in the proper physic; ' condition. The phosphate rock v.i cost you only about half as much v.: contains practically twice as nine phosphorus as acid phosphate. TIk bost way of handling rock phosphate is to spread it in the stables with imbedding or to scatter it on the nianrr pile. The decaying of the stpJ manure will tend to render the pi phorus available. The other principle element, whi? is especially important if you expo : to grow leguminous crops such <> clover and alfalfa, is calcium. Thi. may be supplied by the use of finely ground limestone rock. The need of calcium is shown by the presence of horse sorrel, and the failure of legumes to grow. There is another way of determining the acidity of the soil or the lack of calcium by the use of litmus paper, which may be purchased at anv drutr store. Place the most soil around the litmus paper for ten or fifteen minutes. If the blue paper is turned to a pinkish or reddish color, it will indicate that your soil requires lime. Finely ground limestone may be applied at the rate of from one to eight tons to the acre, o Advertise in The Herald. NOTICE OF SALK.
