PROLIFIC COTTON GROWER
suits. Which IL the Trusst Test OF
Merit

Mer1ts
The Prolific Cotton Grower, a
fertilizer manufactured exclus-
lively by the Goldsbore Oil Com
pany, has for years stood at the
head of the list in general re-
suits with the farmers using it,
and it's superior merit has from
year to year increased it's .repu-
tation and widened the territory
of its use until to-day it is recog-
uized as the leading fertilizer,
not only for cotton, but for corn
and tobacco, as well; it's rich
sources of ammonia and potash
being especially suitable for the
demands of the last named crop,
which requires these elements
of plant food more abundantly
than any other, and that they
| exist in this fertilizer common
surate to all demands is evidence
| ed by the rich growth attained
and the bright color secured by
the tobacco farmer wherever it
is used.
And not for cotton and corn
and tobacco alone, bat for all
crops requiring a fertilizer to
stimulate growth and secure best
results, the Prolific Cotton Grow
er fills the bill, and insures abso-
lutte satisfaction.
The demand for it this year is
already abreast Of the supply,
Notwithstanding the fact that
the company, in anticipation of a
larger trade than usual, increas-
ed the capacity of it's plant, and
Is manufacturing double its for
mer output.
Thus does the integrity OF
Goldsboro's manufactures gain
precedence and continue to wider
and go forward.
In fact, the conviction is wide.

EIGHT CENT T T

The South rejoices over the
recent rise in the price of cotton.
The very low price for which
the bulk of the cotton crop of
1898 was sold had a very depress-
ing effect upon all industries
and all interests in this section,
and the cheering influence of the
recent advance in the price of
the South's great staple has been
correspondingly strong and exs
hilarating. The present happy
condition is due to a combination
of causes. For several years past
the general business depression
the world ever curtailed the
purchasing power of the people
and consequently cut down the
| production of all manufactured
goods. The demand for cotton
| goods fell off and raw material
was, of course, degraded in VAL
ne. But the return of prosperity
found the supply of cotton goods
short, and all the operating
mills were rushed to meet the
demand upon them, while a great
impulse was given to the con-
struction Of new mills, especial
~ in the South, which every
day becomes more and more
clearly the promised land of the
most profitable cotton manufac-
lures.
Coincidently with the great in
crease of the demand for cotton
came a crop of several million
bales short Of the bullish est
mates of last summer, and even
below the average conservative
estimate at that time. Cotton
bounded up, Of course, AMI is
now at a point that gives a good
profit upon It's production.
The most fortunate incident OF
this rise is the fact that it came
while a very large part Of the
crop now being marketed was
still in the hands OF its produ.
GERS.
The present good price Of cot
ton should not delude the plant
ers into an error which they
have committed so often after q
season of profitable return fol
their crops, and for which they
have paid very dearly-the error
of overproduction.
IF Scent cotton causes the far
mers to plant for a crop tina
will leave a large surplus supply
next fall, it will be a very short
lived blessing, if a blessing a
all.
We hope most earnestly tina
the cotton planters will avoic
the pelpable folly of increasing
their acreage and their purches-
es of fertilizers. A general adop'
ton of such methods will insure
cheap cotton, pile up big debt.

Surely our farmers do not de
