e Price For Cotton F. BACHMAN & COMPANY, Cotton Merchants in New York, say the indications are cotton wilt sell for a fine price for the next two years at least, so you want to mnake all the cotton you can on the land you have in cotton while t'he price is good. These fine prices will not last always. Corn is also a profitable crop at pres ent prices and may become more profitable on account of the high price of all foodstuffs. Labor is too scarce and the spring was too late to increase your acreage much, but you can increase your crop by increasing your fertilizer and by side-dressing liberally, and that is by far the cheapest way to increase your crop. Fertilizer has advanced less than any commodity a farmer uses, and. fertilizer used in side dressing cotton and corn pays better than any fertilizer used, because the growing crop gets it all. We are makking a magnificent high-grade tertilizer, heavily charged with soda to give quick action, as the busi of this crop requireth haste. We sell this goods at $41.00 per ton at Anderson and $41.50 when it is shipped away from Anderson. One sack of this, costing you $4.10 or $4.15, applied to the acre of cotton, will increase the money yield of your crop more than $10 an acre, and good farmers say that side-dressing pays better on corn than it does on anything. But it should be applied early, not later than June 16, on cotton. We don't advocate the use of this goods too late, as it keepi the cotton growing so long it will not mature and open in time. Applied at any time between May 25 and June 25 and it will pay better than any fertilizer you use. You only make one crop a year. Feed it and nurse it and make a good one - it pays. You feed your mule more than once during the crop season; feed your crop as often as it needs it. It stands dry weather better, because it is better fed. You and the hands on your place and every head of stock-horses, mules, hogs abd cows--will stand adverse conditions better if well fed. Your crop will, too. But be sure to feed your crop the second time by June 15. Your cotton will make a better staple. You will get a better "turn out'' at the gin, as it makes more lint to the seed and the seed will pay for the fertilizer. Ixperienced ginners will tell you that 1,300 pounds o' seed cotton that has been sile-dressed will turii out as heavy a bale as 1,600 pounds that has not been side-dressed. There is more lint to the seed. But apply not later than June 15. Labor is too scarce and the season too late to increase your acreage, but you can increase your crop by increasing your fertilizer. It should he rich in nitrogen for quick action. And quick action is needed. Side-dress liberally and apply early. It will pay from $2.60 to $1.00 for every dollar it costs.
