A party of ton Bamberg citiiens motored to Chadbourne, N. C., Thsirs- to see at first hand a modem mooder. They aaw and marveled, and wore convinced that Bamberg citizens have been sleeping on an opportunity. Urn party conaisted of J. J. Smoak, •E. A. Hooton, B. F. Free, J. W. atokas, H. H. Stokes, C. R. Brabham, 8r. t F. M. Moye, P. J. Zoigler, C. S. Covington and.A. M. Brabham. Ifea purpose of the visit to the North State was to see with their own eyes the mammoth strawberry market in that small city. They found on arrival that it was an off- in the strawberry industry. However, they sow being loaded with tfco delicious fruit seventeen carloads. They were told that the town had on occasion, loaded as high as 86 car loads in a day. The newspapers re ported the fact that Chadbourne and a neighboring town had a day or two previous to the visit of the Bamberg gentlemen loaded H7 carloads, esti mated to be worth about $125,000. Strawberries are bought by buyers right *on the spot. Growers are given aUga with the number of crates and plrice. The slips are carried to the local banks where the money is paid like checks. The two banks were crowded to standing room only, and Hie town had the appearance of cir- ooa day, the streets being crowded with wagons and trucks, and the sidewalks with people. On^ fanner related that from six teen acres he had gathered the pre vious day 77 crates, worth from $4.50 to |6.60 per crate, and that his pick- lags this season were estimated at stoat $466 per acre. This means a profit of something tike 8811 per •era. Last year thfe planter made •hoot 810,000 dear. The strawberry industry means I JBUlionB iaf doljars to the community. No planter has a very large acreage, it al planters have some strawber- visa planted. The plants last for sev- «rml years with good care, and the praAts "are enormous on an average. Like al) other crops, sometimes there la a failure, but it is reported as bc- •# Profits in Lint Rest upon Amount Raised per Acre Profits In terming ere governed by the rsto of production. High yields per sere mean a low cost of produc ing a bushel of corn or a pound of cotton. And the lower the cost of making this bushel of corn or pound of cotton, the greater the profit In crease the yield per acre and the Cost will decrease. Proper fertilization Is the key to large yields per acre. The three ele ments of a fertilizer are nitrogen, phosphorus end potassium. Most Southern soils are deficient in nitro gen and most crops, particularly cot ton and com, remove from the soil more nitrogen than either of the two other elements. Therefore, to secure the largest and most profitable yields a large supply of nitrogen must be furnished the crop. Farmers who have not applied any fertilizer under their crop or who have used a fertilizer which Is low In nitrogen will hpcuTS''large returns from side dressing with nitrate of soda. Side applications of nitrate of soda for cotton should be made at the first or second cultivation at the rate of 150 to 200 pounds per acre. The same amount may be applied on corn when the crop is about knee high. m Denzpteey has announced he is ready to fight again. Which can be J either good newts or bad news for Mrs. Dempsey—if you know what wo mean. mg rare. The coet of the crop is •bout on a parity with asparagus. Frequently exceedingly high prices are received, and such years growers make profits like millionaires. The Bamberg visitoia are convinc ed cf the fact that Bamberg ought to be a strawberry pomt, and-they in tend to start the ball to rolling in this direction, firmly believing that our leads and our climate are adaptable to this industry, which would supple ment Bamberg’s early spring money crops. The party left Bamberg at 5 o’clock Thusvday morning, and on returning raaeftwd home if 11:80 at night Thqy thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and saw am money than they had seen fa a loag time.—The Bamberg Herald. ■ Ellen sela attendTElthe Aiken association al , f t.
