Cotton Fertilizer Problem
With the present price OF cotton and
other farm products, it will pay the
farmer to give more attention this
Spring to the problems Of soil build
ing and to the Intelligent use Of fer
filters than ever before. Some CT
the best farmers Of the South have
adopted the plan Of returning to the
soil IN fertilizers, the money received
from all Or part OF their cOttonseed.
This is q g00d plan and should be
more generally adopted.
Enough Plant Food for Dest Yieie.a
It takes from 800 pounds to 4oo
pounds OF fertilizer to make a good
weed IN cotton, or a good stalk in
corn, and unless amounts above these
are used, full returns cannot be ex-
pected because large amounts must be
applied to produce the fruit and the
grain.
The amount Of fertilizer that can
be used pro1itabIy Will vary with the
different soil types, seasons and with
the different crops grown. The most
important factor, however, governing
the amount Of fertilizer that can be
used with profit is the price Of the
article produced At the present price
OF cotton, it will pay to use on most
ef the soil types CT the South larger
amounts Of fertilizer than heretofore
To Meet Boil WeeviI Situation
When grown under boil weevil con-
ditions, cotton should be literally fer
tilted and this fertilizer should con,
tain large percentage of phosphoric
acid, which ingredient hastens it's ma

assd to start the plant off quickly in
