II ECONOMIC CROP J YIELDS NECESSARY; i cheapest yields are the largest yields per acre, < says southern agricul* ] tural authority \ ^ \ It Taxe a Greater Amount of Crop ( turns to Cover Production Cost j Now; Therefore High Yields ( Per Acre Are Necessary If ^ the Farmer Is to Obi f tain Profits if Improve ment widely known IB by the low price B B?V,. '; of crops, recent- j < B jy 8a{(] that de- ' \ V J- N HARPER Ration of prices J F bad burt the farmer more than any t V other class, and that on this account \ |L the farmer is entitled to every consld-11 eration within reason. ?s At such a time as this when the ( j farmer is facing the problem of which j V crops to grow, and how much he can , venture to spend in their production, * ^ Mr. Harper says, that he, as a farmer ? himself, knows that it is the most dif- c ficult situation of the kind he has ever confronted. ' j This is the way this agricultural " authority figures out the proposition ^ Of profitable crop production in 1921: , i "Orftw Annnrh fnnri nnri fflsii rrftrm to supply as tar as possible the needs f of the family, the tenants and lire- j took. Then pick oat the kind of cash e crops that seem to offer the best pros- I pects. ? "Cotton will always be one of the s best cash crops that a Southern farm- ^ er can grow. No cotton farmer can ? afford to throw cotton aside alto- ? gether. "But cotton should not be the only ] tcash crop. It would only be another case of carrying all the eggs in one basket It is better to go to market with more than one crop. Among i these other crops are peanuts, legume c hays, tobacco, sweet potatoes, sugar * I ; cane, sorghum, rice and perhaps other * jj.crops. In addition there should be r a gradual adding, as means will allow, ^ of more livestock, beginning with hogs r jrXf preferably and taking on other ani- ? mals as soon as possible. 3 "In facing the problem of profitable f crop production for the year 1921, two j facts must be considered. (1) Crop ? prices are low. (2) Crop producing r 1 expenses have not fallen correspond- j 1 ingly. c t"The farmer must remember that * when crop prices are low, it takes ^ more of the crops to cover the pro- t I\ ductlon cost. This narrows the mar- r , gin of profits. Therefore, if a farmer does not look well to keeping up his j acre yields, there will be no margin ~ 1 left above the cost of production. "Always, the most expensive yields ' jtt are the low yields and the most re1-. munerative are the high yields. If ' t there are losses to be sustained, as j was the case In 1920, the farmer who j ^ grew the greatest yields per acre lost r | [ least. I "A safe and sane policy that needs 1 I especial emphasis for 1921, is: 'Guard . I', your profits with high acre yields.' * nt This involfes good preparation of the " I seed bed, the use of high producing " seed, liberal fertilization and thorough K cultivation. A neglect to employ any 'one of these to the proper extent may 4 mean that the farmer will find him- i self poorer at the end of the season ( J. than at the beginning. < "Labor Is the greatest item of cost ' In producing a crop yield. It must ; be used to the extent of thorough cul- ' tivation. Fertilizers are next in the j list of cost items. Since high yields J per acre are so essential in times of I * low prices of crops, and since fertillx- < ers increase acre yields more than any- . thing else, they cannot be reduced in J 1921. In fact, it may be that they will have to be depended upon more than ( ever, to make acre yields that will be profitable. "An investment in good seed is one ^ of the best that a farmer can make ' p at any time. "In a word, this is a time for farm efficiency, faith and courage. These virtues exercised, the farmer will , emerge from the post-war struggle victoriously." CALCIUM ARSENATE TREATMENT An idea of the benefit gained bv . application of the calcium arsenate 1 treatment developed and recommend- 1 ed by the United States Department 1 La; of Agriculture against the cotton-boll . f weevil is found in the experience of a large planter at Tallulah. La. With w& the exception of certain test plats, this P *man's entire acreage was dusted with calcium arsenate, the cost being $0.20 Hft an acre. He obtained an average yield Wp of 1,215 pounds of seed cottqn to the acre on the land surrounding'-the test ' plats, while these unpoisoned test < plats averaged only 300 pounds, or , about 25 per cent of the yield on the P poisoned cotton. Thus his net profit from poisoning on these areas on 1 sales made before declining prices of ; cotton was about $120 an acre. i NOTICE OF SALE.
