which have been badly damaged and
largely carried away by the ice in the

To the crops of 1905 and 1906,
there was applied per acre $50
pounds of a high grade fertilizer;
the average yield of seed cotton per
acre was 1 ,442 pounds.
To the crops of 1907, 1908 and
1909, there was applied per acre 700
pounds of a high grade fertilizer;
the average yield per acre of seed
cotton was 1,643 pounds.
An 1873 per cent. increase in the
quantity Of fertilizer used gave
crop increase of 1879 per cent.
An average application of 27O
pounds of high grade fertilizer per
acre, Statewide, gave 675 pounds of
seed cotton in Georgia in 1905. At
the Georgia Station, 1905 and 1906,
$50 pounds of high grade fertilizer
per acre gave an average yield of
LAP pounds of seed cotton, which,
compared with the average yield in
the State, 1905, was an increase Of
1876 per cent.
We have seen that an average ap-
plication, through three years, of 700
pounds of a high grade fertilizer per
acre at the Georgia Station gave

Compared with the State yield of
1905, that represents an increase of

FIVE YEARS OF COTTON.
BY Martin V. Calvin.

The lessons taught us by the re-
suits of 1904, in the matter of cot
ton growing, have not yet been for
gotten. Those results persuaded cot
ton growers generally that the wiser
course to pursue was to reduce acre
age in 1905, and hold it down to
reasonable number Of acres, year by
year. That has been done
The results referred to suggested
that, in reducing acreage, we should
strive for larger yield per acre.
That we seem not to have done.
1t is safe to take five such States
as the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama,
and Mississippi, as illustrative of all
the cotton States in consid ering this
vital subject.
The record shows, as will more
fully appear in the facts and the
figures which are to follow, that, in
States named, averaged 3,O62,044
acres; the crop, 1,379,571 $500
pOund) bales, exclusive of linters;
the average yield per acre, 45-100ths
of a bale.
The general average acreage of
those States for five years-1905-
1909, both inclusive-was 3,022,9O0
acres; the average annual crop, H.
123,195 (500-lb) bales; the average
yield per acre, 39-100ths of bale
word as to linters. 1t may in
terest all your readers to know that
the Inter crop of the States named
was, for the year 1908, for example,
167,188 (500-lb) bales. The linters
are in large request. They are used
to a great extent in fleeing, with

percentage of the underwear on mer-

1t is evident that cotton growers
must exert themselves, in the pres
ent and in the future, more than in
the immediate past, if they are really
DESTROYS to attain unto high things
in cotton production, meaning a re-
munerative crop each succeeding
year.
l do not know a better way by
which to impress upon cotton grow
ers the necessity which exists for
steady increase in the average yield
per acre-producing the largest
quantity per acre at the smallest
reasonable cost-than by placing be-
fore them, in succinct form, the re-
suits of their labors in the five
States through period of five years.
Young farmers, as well as farmers
advanced in years, will find it ad-
Vantageous to study the facts herein
given, then file them away for re-

are indisputable. They constitute a

sent many, many hours of honest

serves as a damper. The stump is
covered with kerosene and a fire
built near the door between the
opening and the stump. The furnace
may be turned with the wind, if
necessary, to give the fire a strong,
steady draft. This contrivance will
burn out large stumps in a remark
ably short time, leaving nothing but
deeply buried roots, and sometimes
the flames will burn these out great

The small average yield per acre
made by the group of States indi-
Gates, in most forceful manner, one
of the prerequisites to a yield of
say three-quarters Of a bale per
acre, followed in reasonable
length of time, quick time, by the
high, but possible, general average of
one bale per acre. That pre-requi-
site is higher fertilization. There
must be, of course, proper prepare
ton Of soil, the best seed and the
most approved methods of cultiva-
tion-rapid, light and level.
Let us look into the results of
higher fertilization as shown in the
case of the State of Georgia-the
years 1905 and 1906 compared.
Georgia is chosen, because official
facts and figures are in hand.
The New Orleans convention urged
a reduction of acreage and fertilizer.
There were those, this deponent
among the number, who insisted that
the true policy was to reduce acre
age and increase the quantity of fer
tilizer per acre. The latter policy
prevailed.
In 1905 Georgia farmers applied
an average of 270 pounds of high
grade fertilizer per acre; in 1906,
they economical over the left
using 204 pounds per acre.
In 1906, 204 pounds of fertilizer
gave 34-100ths, or ITO pounds lint.
In 1908, 218 pounds of fertilizer
gave 39-100ths, or 1875 pounds lint
In 1905, 270 pounds of fertilizer
gave 45-100ths, or 225 pounds lint.
Two hundred and seventy pounds of
fertilizer per acre gave a crop in
crease of 1928 per cent. over 204
pounds per acre, and 1873 per cent.
over 218 pounds per acre.
There is lesson of value to every
farmer in those facts. Note the small
increase in the quantity of plant
food supplied, and the resultant
larger crop. Feed the plants I'M
stintingly. Supply them with the
food they require; they will respond
accordingly.
Let us look into five years close
work with leading varieties of cot
ton. We shall see what there is in
