FRTILIZER~ii WVe will have about 1,500 tons of 10-5-0, about 1,500 P" tons of 15 per cent acid and about 150 tons of meal for sale ;.* . This 10-5-0 is a corking good goods to side-dress cdtton 1 S and corn fn(l to use under corn in the first planting. Six teen per cent acid can be used and is used advantageously " under corn planted after stubble and under bottom corn, a : and cotton seed meal Lives a good account of itself any- : s; where and besides 150 tons is hardly enough meal for the ;f cows, let alone using any for fertilizers. And then we : have soda which can be used along as is thought best. An early stand of cotton seems assured this year and if " farmers can get their cotton thinned out and cleaned out _" and the second application of fertilizer (this 10-5 0) applied :; by June 15th it will pay handsomely to make this second ,, application. We do not advocate making the second ap " plication late. We believe a great deal of money has been + x badly spent in buying fertilizer for late applications. It $ makes more stalk and leaves and bolls, but the bolls don't k ; open--especially if there is an early fall. Second applica *tions of fertilizer to cotton made before the 15th of June 4.pay well. From what we can gather there promises to be *. a considerable demand for fertilizer a little later for secondl : 4applications for cotton andl corn, so we have adopted the +' m~ uillers srule; 'First come, first ser'ved."' We wvill not conl- 4 Xtract to sell more than we can make andi deliver. So Place your orders early. aicin orscnlapiaint orctoi vl f there is too miuch ammonia in the fertilizer used( inI ::make the wveed grow too fast to fruit 'properly, just as too. 4.much rain will give you all the stalk you are looking for;,,4 ~:but the stalk will growv too fast to fruit as it shou1ld. This :10-5-0 goods we are manufacturing has the ammonia and 1 Sthe phosphoric acid in the right proportion to make plant* 4f oodi to furnish fruit with the weed. It is an idleal fertilizer' sfor the second application an~d should b)e applied just as soon as you get your cotton thinned out and cleaned out. 4,You wvant to feed your crop along as it grows just as yo :feed your mules as they work. You don't feed' your mules jenough Monday morning to last them .until Saturday 4 night. And you should not think of trying to feed them E enoug h in April to last until Octooer. And thai is just Swhat you are (toinug with your cotton. Along in July and August, when your cotton is fruiting and needing food. ,.worse than at any time in its life, wvhen the str'ain on it is ~'greatest, the food supply is greatly weakened and growing ~ weaker every day, the result is your cotton "sheds." If it were properly supplied with plant food it wvould not shed. Anderson Phosphate&I p Oil Company i W. F. FARMER, Sec. SM. C. SMITH, Agt., Pickens, S.
