(*?p 1 I ' ' Use ot Commercial Fertilizer i The editors of the lay newspi pers, and even some of the agr cultural journals, are agai urging farmers to buy less ferti izers and use more home manure The arguments advanced in *U| port of such advice are not vei clear cut, nor verv distinctl stated, but the idea seems to I that by reducing the amount < fertilizers the expense accent would be reduced and the cottc production be diminished. Th main stress'soems to be place on the pronosition that the toti production of cotton would t reduced In replv, it may ho sai that no one will undertake t i deny that by using a snialh umuuut of fertilizers on cotto the effect would he to reduce th vield of cotton corresponding!; The proposition is just a plai open and shu' one, that provt itself, so is self evident. It ai sumes that a reduced cotton cro is desirable and will prove bent ficial to the farmers. But what, i half the farmers should quit in iug commercial fertilizers and th other half Rhould follow thesam methods they have usually fo lowed, and apply as much fertil zers as before, or even increaf the amount used? Ad niting tha the result would be a smaller cro of cotton and a higher, or at leai a sustained market price, ho would that benefit the half of th farmers who bought no t'ertil zers? You reply at once tin 1 they will have no guauo bills i | pax and will get more for the i cotton. That is quite true, and I is freely admitted; but will n< j tbe r cotton, made without ferti izers, have cost them more I make it then it tllev tl?ed t! iCKstntiiarx amount? lfthnf.irn I ers do not produce cotton ut. ; less cost hy using fertilizers, wli in the name of heaven do the persist in using them? The argument would hav force if it were practicable t persuade the whole body of co ton planters, acting as one ma to cut down their guano bill But everybody knows, or ougl to know, that such unanimm action is in the very nature ( the case impracticable. Would not lie just as logical to advii the farmers not to buy any in proved seeds, improved impl ments, high class mules, goc machinery, and thereby redu< the production of cotton and i the same time cut ofT the highi cost of these improved aids 1 farming? It seems so. If a farmer can buy a proper! balanced fertilizer, apply it jud Iciously, prepare aud eultivat I well ami thus produce cotton i \ a cost of -1 or 5 cents a pouui and -ell it lor ?> to 7 cents, it plain common sense wisdom I it. If he wants to reduce h crop let him cut oil' the art rilufita/l lliul .. ......I.,.,. I p.M < \ vuf IJU tun 1/ n 111 1 el I ruuuv area and yet an increased yiel ! per acre, he will still make le: ; cotton. It' he wishes to prodtu ( ..ton cheaper than a cost of I < .- ois u pound, let him cut h arc* down, limit it to say oni liali, or even les? than one ha h< nsi.iinarv are -, and apply lit! 1 - more fertilizer to the aei than before. The result* will bo i i (1 tic' ion of possild v one third l ftnumber of bales, and om third in the co^t of producii each bale. I favor that kind < r. 'lo.-Tion? that is. to reduce tt; -.; ii iinonnt of fertilizers bou^l i'V .! tanner, reduce the ar>-a I lie planted in cotton and increathe iininunt at plied to each acr h?.it the general idea does n< -'( fi. jo have such reduction i view The common argument i !': < >>r usmtr less fertilizers :i| j)'-:.! to contemplate cuttn n the application per acre, th if where ? farmer In ') "t !

This kind of reduction may \ i effected ho any individual farmi MM#* , ? ' > without reference to the action 1 of any other farmer. The other j^es kind of reduction, if practiced . , by one farmer, or only a few 111,1 lQ farmers, will result in saving one- T I half of hiB fertilizer bill and in- fea( n creasing the cost per pound of . ' producing a reduced crop. The 1 ._ other fellowB are not going to do nnY jy it, because no indidual tarmer The )e feels called on t^o make a merely xy/ )f sentimental and nou practical lt sacrifice of his <?wn iuterebts for ,OR( )n no good to anybody. The kind of Pro e reduction I propose and insist jn? (j upon is iu the direction of reduc 4| ing the cost of making cotton. To >e do it it will be necessary to re way (j duce the area, so as to cultivate |\ hu only the better land, and conceu <r l rale at. least t<>ree-tourths of the usual amount of fertilizer pur exP chased and apply the three- fu't v 'ourths to about one-half the old jf) , ' area. This will result in a smaller )B crop (possibly, but not necessari- amf ly ), a r-inaller cost per pound and but yet a smaller outlay for fertili- nev 5 z rs. It, does not depend at all on if the co-operation of others. It is 1 a tote your own-skillet plan, but li^n ie by no means" does it. amount to som e selfishness On the contrary, it is j)eJ( i the settinc of a cond ummd wholnnnmp example. )t>s' ie It is usual to assume that if a is si ^ farmer buys less commercial fer |1J1S _ tilizers he will, therefore, use more home made manures. I fail w to see any reasonable ground for ie such assumption. It in made quite : plain that a farmer cannot use anv more home manures than he make on his own land, and 1 fail j t*> see how the purchase and use Jt of commercial fertilizers will )t nrev?nt him from developing and I utilizing everv home manorial resource. I am talking to sensible ( men, men who utilize everv j possible home resource to the H fullest, and vet (ind the amount; available totallv inadequate, for ,v the present at least, to produce satisfactory crops The man who buvs guano and uses nothing but guano, and lets bis home manures I go to waste does not read The n Constitution, and, therefore, is, t hArnnfl tho r o a li nf a rliroof o rv I ^ g- ?
