Business of Farming
Needs System Good as
Any Store or Factory

There are equally great possibili-
ties throughout the list of farm prod
ucts. Pure bred live stock, with
proper care and feeding, will bring
more than proportionately increased
returns.
money, great deal of money. and
the average farmer cannot afford to
make use of the advantages offer
ed him. AS an investment, they may
ai bring a handsome profit, yet if
they cannot be paid for, how can the
investment be made?
There is one answer that covers
the whole question.
"The farm must be put on a bust
ness basis.
eft business one does not wait for
years until he has saved up enough
to pay for stock Of goods. He goes
to the bank. and if his proposition
is sound, he gets the money and uses
1t to produce the profits that enable
of course, that he has the ability to
go with it.
"He doesn't buy on long term cred
1t, and pay manufacturers the higher
rate which they must charge for a
service that should be handled by the
! local banker.
THE successful business man who
sees an opportunity to make one dol
lar produce two doesn't pass it up be-
cause he does not have the dollar,
nor does he wait until he can save
It. He borrows it, puts it to use,
and in addition to his own gain, the
banker who loans it makes profit
the community takes step forward
and the nation progresses.
when extensive tests have clear
ly proven, as in some localities, that
four dollars worth of fertilizer will
increase the yield Of an acre of wheat
ten to twelve dollars, why lose the
added profit because one does not
have the four dollars in cash. When
farming with-power units have prov
en- their ability to pay for themselves
often in one year, why do without
them just because the cash is not
on hand to pay for them? Under
such a policy one is likely never to
have the money.

business basis, who studies the posi-
bilities before him, and plans to
make the most of them. who will
learn that business thoroughly and
intelligently present the banker with
the opportunity to work with him
in the development Of his farm and
the community, will get the cash

Save $40 a Ton by
Making Own Fertilizer

Farmers in Morgan county, Ala
bama, have saved approximately $40
a ton by mixing their fertilizer az
home under the direction Of the
county agent instead of shipping in
the ready mixed article. About 800
farmers have joined the homemade
fertilizer movement. Then farmers
joined in buying a carload of ground
limestone which was used with good
results, and a number have been
testing nitrate of soda on corn and
cotton. The factory mixed CONNER
cial fertilizer has cost $40 to $50 a
ton, and the price placed limit on
its use which has been largely re-
lieved by the practice of home mix
ing. In Bullock county ten central
communities have engaged in coop
erative buying of commercial ferti-
lizer, and ingredients for home-mixed
fertilizer.

the land that he now farms, for lit

Can it be done?
"Certainly-it is being done on

about it, though it had to be seen
to be appreciated.

lined with canned fruits, a quaint

alongside the partition, while the

Experts VIII Discuss
Cotton Busting Plan

The United States department of
agriculture will participate in a con-
ference called by the Plant Protec-
ton institute. to be held at the
Chemists club in New York, Deem
Der 6 and z, to outline a program for
cotton busting in 1921. Treatment of
cotton with poison dust, principal
ly calcium arsenate, has been of
such recent development as means
of combating the boil weevil that
often impracticable methods have
been employed for it's application,
many of which were due to improp--
er advice given by representatives Of
manufacturers who were not thor
oughly informed on the problem. The
present meeting is to provide a
clearer understanding of the work
and to outline an educational cam
paign for 1921, which should result
in the farmers having the best ad-
vice and supervision possible in
their poisoning efforts.
