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.

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.

“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.

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.
