VOL III, NO. 7 Virginia-Carolina Chemical Corporation Soil Erosion Is Costly Soil eroaion washes millions of dol lars a year right out of the pockets of America’s farmers, says H. H. Bennett of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. He pitchea at us a total estimate of around 120 billion pounds of plant food that the rains get between Christmas and Christ mas. So many figures make FULL r ROWS dissy, but that looks like as much plant food as there’d be in 600 million tons of a 2-8-2 fertiliser. Anyway the cost of dams and ter races and grass and trees to stop all that waste for a lot of yean would ? cost a mighty little part of what it robs away EVERY year. Let’s hear a motion. / V-C Saves Costs ► = / ■ Expense per acre goes up with “factors and practices designed to maintain or in crease cotton yield,” says the U. S. Department of Agricul ture. But these same wiae facton and practices, it adds, LOWER THE COST PER POUND. And that spell* Profit. V-C bags are full of it. "That -plant foods can be reduced to formulas as exact as those used for anitnals is coming to be understood.** —U. S. Department of the Interior. V-C The man who’s too stingy to feed the crop that he expects to feed him is like the Scotchman Mixed Goods tells about. He \as leaving to visit kinfolks, and called hack to his wife: “Dinna forget to take little Sandy's glass** off when be isna lookin’ at anything.” V-C Fertilizer Brings Profit IVopcr fertilisation and culture bring generous response from the warm-hearted Irish potato. Be cause* th<jse that the south grows are in the market «*arly and command good pric<s, it pays especially to fertilise them well. Fertiliser means i*arlier maturity, bigger yield, belter quality, largersise,—the points that bring good price. On* way to catch step with the procession and stay up with the leaders is to farm subscribe to a good journal—and read it! -v-c- Look With Your Eyes! Cigarette advertising just up and borrowed the “blindfold test” from fertilisers. Used to be a smart aleck thought he could pick the best fertiliser by a blindfold tort as if plants grew on smells. Everybody knows now that what makes a crop hustle is not the perfume in the air but the plant food in the bag. Blindfold tests are out of date, yet some folks still shut their eyes with out any blindfold. They buy their. fertiliser BLIND! They don’t use either their eyes or their noses. All they want to know is which is the chespest. Buying blindfold on smell, foolish as that is, would be better than buying blind on price. But why do either one? Just be sure V-C is on the bag—then you KNOW you’re buying right! V-C , It pays to fertilize cotton heavily with V-C. Up to IjOOO pounds per acre, use a high grade V-C . . . and colled your profits! V-C Let Poor Lands Go “The answer to surpluses may be found in the more efficient farming of the better land, with the return of still more of the marginal land to pasture, woodland and waste/’— Dr. Firman R. Bear, Ohio State University. v-c *T have rsED V-C Fertilisers for a long number of years. Last year the yield from my entire cotton operations netted me 600 bake— an average of a bale to the acre. I used 400 pounds of V-C Good Luck 3-12-6 to the acre. All through the growing and maturing periods I could tell that the plant was getting sufficient food.”—R. C. Singletary, Blakely, Ga. Copyright 192» The Chemists Work Fast “Chemical research, in providing new uses tor farm products, will do more to relieve the firmer than nil of the legislation that can be pasred,” said Dr. Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wis consin, last summer. Six months later the Bureau of Standards in Washington announced n way had been found for making wsllboard from cornstalks and n little faetory was making two tons of it n day at Amea, la.; also a way had been worked out for getting xylose, arsis sugar, from cottonseed hulls and peanut shells; and the Bureau was hot on the trail of peanut shells as a substitute for hardwood planer •havings in gypsum fiber concrete. ( V-c— V-C cotton makes a lot of tint before the boll weevil can roll up his # V-C The Right Grade Is Waiting V-C Fertilisers for cotton have the biggest demand in the following grades, shown in the new order oi nitrogen • superphosphate - potash: 5-8-3, 3-10-3, 4-10-4, 4-12-4, 6-16-5. These suit a wide range of toils. If you want advice about the right grade for your farm, writs to tbs V-C agricultural service bureau at Richmond. Where Grass Belongs Gram in its right place looks mighty pretty, no mat ter bow much you hats to see it in a field. In front of tbs house, around the church or the school, in the courthouse square, the cemetery lot, or a little perk at the depot, rich green grass is a rest for the eyes. But good grass has to be nourished—though you might not have thought so. To grow it right, grass must be fed on its own plant foods. These ere all in V-C FAIR- WAY, a highly specialised product intended for nothing but grass.
