APPLICATION OF FnRr1L1zER TO COTTON.

The quantity of fertilizer used for cotton in the
State is about 400 pounds per acre, though a great
many use with profit 900 to 800 and a few as.
much as 1000 pounds on fairly good land of the
loan type. On fairly good land 500 to 600
pounds is not excessive of the grade of fertilizer
represented by Formula No. 1. Some of the
other formulas are of much higher grade than
this because of higher grade materials, and can
be reduced accordingly. Where 400 to 900
pounds are used it is best applied in the drill be-
fore planting.

Mr.. D. A. Tompkins on the Cotton Situation.
B. W. KILGORE.

MI. D. A. Tompkins on the Cotton Situation.
"For the last ten years." said Mr.. D. A. Temp
kins, the well-known Charlotte manufacturer,
in an interview obtained especially for this num-
Der of The Progressive Farmer, "the consumption
of the world of cotton goods has been increasing
at the usual rate. Production of cotton has
not been increasing at the usual rate, but
has been practically at a stand-still at about ten
million bales. In view of the increasing consump-
ton without increasing production, it is natural
that the supply should now be short.
"In the first decade succeeding the Civil War, the
cotton production in the South was about two and
a half million bales. In the second decade it was
five million bales. In the third decade it was ten
million bales. The reason why it has remained
stationary in the fourth decade is that a great
number of people have been drawn from the farms
to new factories which were built in the fourth
decade. In North Carolina alone about $4,000 peo-
pie are now working in cotton mills. Most of
these have come from the farms inside of ten to
fifteen years. Probably $4,000 more people have
left the farms to work in furniture factories, saw
mills, trouser factories and various other manu-
featuring industries organized in the State within
the last ten or fifteen years. In the other South
ern States the story is about paralleled. The
figures and periods given are, of course, in round
numbers.
"The present year prices of cotton make its
production a very profitable occupation. This will
in some degree carry people from the factories
back to the farms. It will induce immigration
from the Northern States and probably from Eu-
rope, because cotton farming with cotton at ten
cents to twelve cents per pound is the most prof
liable occupation. These things will naturally
stimulate the production of cotton to meet the
worlds demand. Besides these means of an adj
ditional supply, there is a large cotton area in
China and in South Asia, outside of China,
Civilization is making more and more Roadway in
these countries. The people are already making
cotton and know all the operations, and with the
larger quantities of cotton come from Southern
China and the other parts of South America.
That the Chinese do raise cotton now in the
Southern interior is made manifest by the fact
that most Cinnamon seem to wear cotton clothes
which are obtained by raising the cotton them
selves and spinning the yarn and making the cloth
by hand. Egypt under right management prom
Uses more cotton and so does India.
Wherefore it would seem that in from three to
five years the increased production in the South
and the increased supply from these other coun-
tries spoken of, would give us cotton enough to
meet the worlds demand"

product for two years, through physi-
clans and hospitals, in this country
and others.
That price was paid because Liquo-
zone does what all the skill in the
world cannot do without it. 1t does
in germ diseases that which is impos-
slDlc with drugs. 1t carries into the
blood harmless yet powerful germ1-
eide, to destroy at once and forever
the cause Of any germ disease. And
no man knows another way to do it.
Llquozone is new in America, and
millions who need it don't know OF It..
For that reason we are spending $780,
900 to give the first bottle free to each

Acts Like OXYGEN.

Liquozone is the result OF process
which, for more than 20 years, has
been the constant subject of scientific
and chemical research. It's virtues are
derived solely from gas, made in large
part from the best oxygen producers.
BY a process requiring immense APP
paratus and ID days time, these gases
are made part Of the liquid product.
The result is a product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as
you know, is the very source OF vital
lty, the most essential element OF life
Llquozone is vitalizing tonic with
which no other known product can
compare. But germs are vegetables;
and Liquozone, which-like oxygen
is life to an animal, is deadly to vege-
tai matter.

We Offer $1,000
For Disease Germ That Liquozone Can't Kill.

On every bottle of Liquozone we
publish an offer of $1,000 for a disease
germ that it cannot kill. We do that
to convince you that Liquozone does
as we claim.
Please note what that means. Any
drug that kills germs is a poison, and
it cahnot be taken internally. Medi-
cine is, therefore, almost helpless in
any germ disease. Liquozone alone
can kill germs in the body without
killing the tissues. too.

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to help Nature overcome
the germs, and such results are indi-
rect and uncertain. Liquozone kills
the germs, wherever they are, and the
results are inevitable By destroying
the cause OF the trouble, it invariably
ends the disease, and forever.
