RESULTS

To live in the beginning of the
twentieth century means many things.
Among others, this: That for nearly
two thousand years science has been
constantly at work discovering, devel-
oping, improving-it is hardly too
mucn to say creating. Science is the
one thing that never retrogrades; it
always advances. Slowly sometimes,
in some things; rapidly in other
things. Take fertilizer, for instance.
more than TWO thousand years ago
Joseph averted a famine by growing
IN seven fertile years sufficient corn
to tide the people over the seven
, unfertile years. Science had not then
\ begun to work. Irrigation was a
known but undeveloped science; ma
chinery for its use was crude and
Inadequate; fertilizer was supplied
by nature, and while it would have
been amply sutticlent for natures
use, it seemed to have failed to meet
the strain which thrifty man impoS-
ed on it. As a consequence, the lana
''uied" Tor d certain period and was
revived only by the hand of time join
ed with that of a sure but provoking
Iy slow nature. Then by stages of
development, the historical tracing
of which makes reading of the~moSt
intense interest, science produced an
elixir of life, which saved the land At
first it was uncertain, imperfect III re-
suit; today many thousands Of years
later, the lnnermOSt secrets of the sci
ence of fertilizer have been revealed
Microscope and chemists tube have
probed deep into the mysteries of fer
tilization, and now, in this, the TWEEN
tieth century, the happy farmer needs
no Joseph to dream for him of years
of famine to come, and to warn him
to make hay while the sun shines.
What does he do? Why, he scientific
calIy regulates the system of his land
and keeps it SubServient to his needs
at all times.
In Josephs day (and many years
and decades thereafterO when one or
more of the many 1ife-giving ingre-
.dicntS' of a farm were, in the natural
course of things, exhausted, there was
nothing to do but Wait-wait until the
slow processes of nature, reSupplied
the exhausted element. That was be-
cause the people of those unenlight-
ened days did not know either what
the missing element was, nor how to
replenish it. Now they do know, and
know as the result of two thousand
years of development, study, research,
experiment. They know what soil is;
they know the especial chemical
which is the. life fluid of corn, of
wheat, of tobacco, of everything. This
twentieth century, then, is the CEN
tury of results. Nineteen centuries
have been spent in research and in
quiry; this, the twentieth, begins to
show the result. We said they
know" Who are "they"? Everybody?
No! Why? Because everybody has not
studied the matter. Everybody can't
cure the ills of the human body; only
physicians can who have studied
mankind and his structure. Should
it be any different with land? Of
course not The structure of land,
and its component parts are little
less mysterious than those of man.

We answer, without hesitation, yes,
if a good, reliable Fertilizer, such as
Virginia. Carolina Fertilizers, are used.
We are going to try to show that its
use could be dispensed with better If
cotton should go TO % cents per
pound than when it brings only 8 to
IL cents. AS we know more about
the results of the use of Virginia.
Carolina Fertilizers, our calculations
are based on facts drawn from the
use of these particular fertilizers.
The profit on a crop of cotton is the
difference between what it costs the
planter to make it and What he gets
for it in the market. The cost per
pound is governed by the quantity of
cotton made by the labor employed;
in other words the cost per pound is
governed by the quantity produced
per acre. The labor necessary to Gull
tivate 100 acres of cotton, which
yielded 90 or as bales (the picking
would cost more, although that would
not increase in the same ratio as the
crop9 If in one case the product be
20 bales, and in another so, the cost
of the cotton in the former would be
about double what it would be in the
latter case.
1t can be readily perceived that
while at the present price for cotton
a profit could not be made with a
yield of only % bales from 400 acres
the same yield would pay at 25 cents
per pound. 1t is equally plain th&t
if % bales from 100 acres would pay
Il profit at 25 cents per pound, so
bales from 100 acres would. pay very
nearly the same profit at IL cents per
pound doubling the quantity, very
nearly equalizing the division of the
price. Therefore, if an application
of 400 pounds per acre of Virginia.
Carolina Fertilizers double the crop
only (and it is shown by incontestibIe
evidence that in average seasons 200
pounds double, and 400 pounds in
crease the crop three-fold), we think
it is clear that the planter can better
dispense with it's use if cotton were
as high as % cents per pound than
when it is or II cents.
Let US suppose, for example, that
Messrs. Jones and Smith. neighboring
planters, each employ labor to plant

and cultivate 100 acres in cotton the
labor in both cases costing the same
Jones uses 400 lbs. Va.-Caro-
lima. Fertilizers per acre,
and makes so bales of
800 pounds each, sold
at II cents per Id. go. $2,750.00
Smith uses no fertilizer and

costing $4,000. 1t is easy to see what
the profit of thee application would
be with cotton at higher prices.
We have assumed in this calculation
IlIdl 4UU pOulluS per acre Only uOuDIeu
the crop, while the actual increase
resulting from the application of this
quantity has largely exceeded 1.-THE
above estimated result in all cases
when figures are given of exact re-
suits.
1t is the policy of every planter TO
realize the largest possible product
from the labor employed and the land
cultivated. Striving for this result,
we ask can he afford to dispense with
the use of fertilizer which, at COM
paratively spall outlay per acre, will
cause the labor to yield double and
triple the results which would be OBJ
tanned from the same labor without
its use?
We ask you to make these calcutta
tons for yourselves, gentlemen, draw
ing the figures from your own expert
ence> and observation and if the re-
suits arrived at are the same as ours,
and you determine to buy a fertilizer
for your cotton, let us persuade you 20
use Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer. 1t is
good, always reliable, and gives the
greatest benefit to the consumer for
the smallest outlay of any guano upon
the market.
