them, and you cannot HEN yeas.--
self. It serves no gooo purpose
to use plenty of Nitroge ne and
fail short on Phosphor c Acid
and Potash, to use Pospho ic -Acid
and fall short on Nitrogen and
Potash, or to use Potash md fall
short in Phosphoric Acid and
Nitrogen because neither two of
the three will compensate for the
absent ones, no matter how great
the quantity. There is only onc
way to do, that is use a corr ,ste
fertilizer in which these clements
are embodied, and each will per
form its particular function.
Many Of you no doubt, have
in the years past, produced a
bale Of Cotton, probably a little
more from one acre of land, and
wrapped up in your own conceit
or rather own conception of
things in general, thought you
had accomplished one of the sew
en- wonders but how much more
wonderful it would have been
if on some occasion you had more
than doubled that yield. Already
| imagine that | can see the super
ciHious smiles of some, and the
framing Of the words, fancy
farming. Yes it is fancy far
ming. A fancy yield too is it
not? 1t cuts a fancy figure at
the years end when settling day
comes, and was grown by liberal
use of fancy fertilizers. You
supercillious ones l challenge to
show the magic used, and if you
do not find the work of a NEGRO
mancer, why don't you do the
same thing. In that why" lies
the kernel of the whole question.
Such results are not, thank God,
rare, and each year are becoming
more numerous. 1t is simply
the outcome of intelligence and
industry more forcibly applied
and more forcibly attended to.
when you begin, like the other
fellow to understand, and fully
appreciate the nature of the soil
you tend when youare prepared
to labor at least ten hours a day
for at least 800 working days in
the year, as is being done in
all otaer branches OF industry,
when youawake tothe factthatin
the liberal use Of fertilizers in a
complete form you are storing
great wealth in your lands, you
will not be far off the heels Of
other fellow. With twelve cent
cotton in your markets, and
fifteen in view the rift in the
sky is beginning to widen, and
already the bright rays of the
sun Of prosperity smilingly beams
down on our beautiful southland,
a harbinger Of that ERA" of
prosperity We have waited for
SO long.
II. conclusion, Mr.. Editor, per-
NIT me to urge you who weld
the pen which is said to be
"mightier than the sword" to
begin a campaign Of education,
to arouse the sluggard to a more
active life, to lead them out of
the old ruts and by-Ways they
have travelled so long. Point out
to them the road leading to the
goal of their ambition-success.
Let your slogan be fancy
farming" if you will, supple
mented with heavy fertilization.
See that It resoQnds through the
length and breadth of our fair
land, until it dawns like a beam
of ligh, indeliibly stamped on
the minds of all, this fact: ifone
man can grow three bales Of cot
ton on one acre, so can you Go
the same, q fact, Mr.. Editor,
well known and authentica-
ted, and as solid as the solid
south"
Any information desired rela-
tive to the application of ferti-
lizers and the kinds producing
the bestresult5 on the different
soils will be cheerfully furnished
on application to this company.
Correspondence on this line So
llcited.
