Friday Night March 8th ] * MUSic’by COLUMBIA ORCHESTRA Admission: Gentlemen, $1.00 i, Ladies, Free ^ * \ Laughs at Weevils They’ve found a new cotton called the Acala variety, that Ifmghs at the boll weevil. But just to keep things in balance, they’ve found a new boll weevil that laughs too. Acala cotton, first discovered in southern Mexico in 1906 by this government, is a superior upland type, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It is one of the earliest and most prolific of the kind and produces better and longer fiber than other large-boiled .varieties. It grows so fast it beats the weevil, and Acala cotton brings a premium in communities that are careful not to mix their seeds. As for the boll weevil, he’s called the Thurberia. But that’s another story. -v-c- “I have used V-C, and although the boll weevil hit our county hard I made over a bale to the acre.”— J. W. Long, Tarboro, N. C. V-C “You would not try to overdraw your bank account. You should be equally sure that you do not overdraw your soil fertility account.”— New York Central Lines. V-C- Gold Dollars from Waste Cottonseed oil was known among the Chinese before 1700,—ahundred years ahead of the rest of the world. They burned it in lamps, feeding the cake to cattle. Then some chemist whose name has been forgotten dis covered that the oil could be»eaten. By 1890 over a million tons of seed were being crushed—for nothing but the oil. Little by little other developments were worked out, first for separating the seed from the hulls, thus getting more oil and leav ing a rake that could be used as feed or fertilizer; then for cleaning the hulls to get Imters. In 1926 they crushed 5,528,243 tons of cotton seed. Its value was $256,027,431— and two-thirds of this got back to the man who grew it. . . j Yet most of us can remember when cot tonseed could hardly be thrown sway. Guv the mentisU credit! “Scientific farming has paid well all along, but it is not the scientific fanner who is complaining. He hasn't the time. He ie busy making money."—H. H. Heimann. Old Friends .. and New \ Southern farmers who are still in their prime can remember helping their fathers haul V-C Fertilisers to the springtime fields of long ago. Now their sons are helping them— and V-C remains a family institu tion. Could V-C be otherwise than reliable, with such traditions behind it? Other regions too are following the choice of the Old South as they in their turn discover that fertilizing pays. V-C’s good name keeps on opening the way to new friends— whom the years will ripen into old ones. Premiums in Pure Seed Communities are learning to pro tect themselves against hybrid cot tonseed—“run of the gin” seed “pot luck” seed by getting laws passed that keep anybody in the neighborhood from growing an off variety of cotton. In 1926 the Cal ifornia legislature enacted a special law on this point, says the U. iL Department of Agriculture, when several counties were established as pure seed districts for the Acala variety, with no other kind to be grown there. “The effect has been highly beneficial,” says the Depart ment. “All the farmers of these communities have seed of the best quality to plant, and the fibre is of uniform quality that brings a pre- mi urn. -v-c- -V-C- “Oqr» is a new country, but much of our tkrming area is alrtwdy crying for more commercial fertiliser.”— American Farming. V-C You’ve got to have a properly BALANCED fer tiliser to get a good cotton yield. There must be enough nitrogen in it, enough super phosphate, enough potash,— and not too much of any one. Use the RIGHT GRADE of V-C and pick real money off your acres. V-C Two things—yield per acre and quality of product— ■pell all the PROFIT in fanning. V-C Fertilisers in crease yield and improve quality. Therefore V-C and Pro/U are partnert. “V-C Ferti users push the crop to maturity and enable you to get easily a bale to the acre, even under boll weevil conditions.”—T. H. Barnes, Coats, N. C. v-c Farming's Great Future “No other country has such im mediate possibilities for the develop ment of its agriculture as the United States. We have .vast acreages of good land from which the virgin fertility is now practically exhaust ed; we have intelligent farmers, highly efficient machinery, the best organised system of research, teach ing and extension that the world has ever known; and a fertiliser in dustry prepared to compound the proper formulas and supply the de mand.”—Dr. Firman E. Hear, Ohio State University. V-C The “merrmring” of cotton fabric* is named after John Merchr, who discovered how to do it in 18H. —v-c “/ am so thoroughly sold on high grade commercial fertiliser that I would consider it folly to plant n row of cotton unless a liberal application had been applied before planting. I use a 15-5-5. My advice to the average man would be to tnermee the amount of fertiliser he has been using. It would prove a profitable imestment."—J. M. Aldrich. • V IRCINI A-CAROLI* % CHEMICAL CORPORATION' Card of Thanks.
