Too Much Fertilizer Uused.

1t seems to us that the use OF COM
mercial fertilizers is to some extent, at
least, responsible for the present Grip
pied condition Of the farmers, and for
the prevailing price of cotton. says q
prominent agriculturist. In years past,
before these fertilizers came into sen-
eral use. the cost of manures was not
near so heavy as now and the crop,
stimulated by stable manure and woods
litter, continued green late into the
fall, and it was no uncommon thing to
see cotton-picking going on at Christ
mas time, and the crop, thus put upon
the market slowly, brought fair prices.
Now, by the use Of commercial fertlllz-
ers, the crop is forced to an early maturl-
ty; the plant ceases to grow and all the
bolls upon it open at once, making It
necessary for the farmer to neglect hay
cutting and other necessary farm work,
in order to pick it out. The next step
is to put itupon the market and this
rush of cotton certainly creates the I'M
preston that big crop is being made,
and the price drops accordingly. But
without considering this aspect OF the
case. it seems to US that the use OF less
Of this fertilizer would save money for
farmers even at present prices and would
prove blessing in lengthening out the
picking season, enabling hint prevent
such heavy losses from rains beating out
the lint.
