NEW ENGLAND AND SOUTH.
Dangers of Southern Farmers "False
Economy" Being Repeated.


Last yea" on account of the very low
price of cotton at planting season
the Southern farmers reduced their
amounts OF fertilizer applied per acre
in order to effect saving. Instead of
giving the plants plenty of food so that
they could make quick start and
grow rapidly to maturity, they reduced
the applications an average Of 40 per
cent. When he crop was made, the
price Of cotton had returned to 12H
cents per pound, but the yield had de
creased 32 per cent.
New England farmers who have been
thinking Of reducing the amounts Of
their applications Of fertilizer because
OF the increased prices caused by war
time conditions on the raw products
markets should consider the effects OF
such an action, as shown by the results
In the south. With present high prices
for farm products and foodstulfs I'm
general and with indications that the
same prices will continue, it is gener-
ally conceded that 1t is false econ
omy" to reduce the productive capacity
Of the soils.
Although the prices Of fertilizers are
higher, If the increased cost per acre
which means from 30 to 80 cents per
acre on n 200 pound application to
$1.50 to $3.50 an acre on half ton ap-
plication per acre-is considered in re.
lation to the Increased prices OF prod
ucts, the economy Of maintaining the
same applications is demonstrated. AS
long as one or two bushels pay for the
additional expenditure and the fertil.
ity OF the soil is maintained and in
creased. .he use of fertilizers continues
to be highly profitable.
