Mounting Value Of Farm Products

to this is, added. the value of the
pasturage the total may be as much
as three to three and a half billion
dollars, high enough to be in COM
pany with corn.
Wheat, according to the estimate,
had an average farm price of II cents
per bushel in 1919 above the price of
1918, or $2.15 per bushel With a
value of 5000, 900, 900, it is as low
as the fourth crop in order, not
Withstanding it's spectacular proper

All cereals combined, the grand
total value is $7,474 100000, or more
than the usual value or all farm
crops before, 1916. The vegetable to-
tai, including potatoes and sweet po-
tatoes, is SLAB, 100000; the fruit to-
tai, $3.50 100000; the seeds total (to
follow the census grouping), $751;
100000, including beans and peanuts;
the sUgar-producing crops, $147,000,-

In the total farm value of animal
products, $8,957 100000, the chief
group of items is the value of ami
mails sold and slaughtered, which is
placed at $4,634,000, 600. Next be-

In consequence of greater produc-
ton as we'll as price, the total value
of farm products of this country in
1919 rose to the record amount of
$2l,9S2. 100000, as estimated at farm
crS' prices by the bureau of crop
estimates, United States department
of agriculture. On account of many
and important Implications this total
can have 5: gnificance only as an in
deX number. Reckoning from 1909
as 100. the total for 1912 stood at
1903, for 1913 at lis, for 1914 at rs

for 1915 at 1871 for 1917 at 226 (first
war year for the United States), for
1913 at 263, and for 1919 at 292, or
nearly three times the amount of
1919.
In the total value of the crops of
1919, $16,025, 100000 are items and
groups Of items that each exceed q
billion dollars. By far the most valu

value of which, at $1.35 a bushel,
is S3,934,O 100000, or more than the
farm value of all crops before 1903.

Apple trees should be planted as
soon as practicable. Trees, of course
may be set until the buds begin to
swell. The earlier the planting is
done, however, the better it will be
because in our relatively mild eli
mate the formation of feeding roots
VIII start almost Immediately after
the tree is properly set. Hence, the
earlier the planting is done after the
leaves have been she'd the better
chance the tree has to make the de
sired growth during the early spring
and summer. Once it has establish
ed itself to advantage in the soil it
can then hold its own against rela-
lively adverse conditions.
In setting out apple trees we would
cut the back severely and head them
low The next thing is to see that
they are properly fortified. To this
end, we think the application of from
five to ten pounds per tree of for
mula containing about per cent of
nitrogen, 8 per cent of phosphoric
>2cid and say to per cent of pot
ash is desirable. Potash is high now
and difficult to secure SO we would
minimize it's use as much as posi-
Bile. You may omit it from the for
mula suggested altogether and then
supply what you need of this element

Less Renovated Butter

Beginning July ], I9U2, the date Of
the first records, the ! quantity of
renovated butter made has varied
considerably, but the general trend
has been toward a smaller, produc-
ton. This decrease corresponds in
general 20 the decline in the quanti-
ty of farm butter from which reno

probable also that Improvement IN

to increase its consumption as 3uc1

around the tree after it has been
planted. We have never put ferti-
lizer under trees at the time of
planting. Our plan has been to put
this material around the tree at a
proper distance from the trunk and
work it into the soil. We think the
best time to do this would be just
after the buds begin to swell.

We do not think that the weather
we have experienced this year has
been of sufficient severity to have
destroyed more than the average
number of boil weevils which sue
cumb during the alternating period.
AS a rule, only about 3 per cent OF
the weevils which go into hibernat-
ing quarters in the fall survive the
winter. 1t is this relatively small
mum Der which, through their proGe-
ny, does the amazing amount OF dam
age our cotton crop suffers every
wear through the work of this insect.
1t has been clearly shown that
pair of weevils in a single season
may be the ancestor of from twelve
to thirteen million WeeVils. We
should do our utmost to destroy the
alternating quarters Of the Weevils
to prevent their getting out of the
cotton fields and finding cover which
will protect them during the winter.
Moreover, we should make every eff
fort ct our command to destroy the
Weevls when they first emerge from
their alternating quarters. BY do
ing this, we hold back the develop
nlent of the pest until a fair amount
Of bolls have set on and have
chance to develop. When this is
achieved we can raise fair coy Of
cotton even under relatively heavy
boil weevil infestation. In any event,
it will be necessary for us to fight the
weevils with all the energy we pos
s3ss and through the utilization of
all the means of combating it's

Fertilizer Formulas for North
Georgia.
A correspondent wants to know
about the fertilizer requirements of
soils IN the Piedmont section Of
Georgia.
On the Cecil sandy loans the
potash seems to be one of the prin-
cipaI factors, and on this soil type
we would suggest a fertilizer that
runs as high as 6 per cent potash.
On the Cecil clay loans the potash
does not show nearly so much. On
the sandy loan we get 9 per cent
more returns from potassium than
we do from phosphorus. On the clay
loans we only get about ons-fourtn
of the results from potassium that
we do from phosphorus. In fact OH
the clay loans we get larger re
turns from the phosphorus alone
than we do from the complete fer
tiliZer. Our suggestion then would
be for the Cecil sandy loans to re-
duce the phosphorus to per gent to
! al I cant TO
per cent nitrogen and per cent
to per cent phosphorus, and on
the clay loans to increase the phos-
phorus to - per cent to IA per cent

and about per cent to per cent

HIGH PRICES
WARNED AGAINST
CONSUMPTION MAY BE CURTAILED
Davidson in Advising Growers to Set
Reasonable Prices, Points 10
Last Seasons Apple Deal

ii. +. Davidson warns growers
against setting exorbitant prices on
their product The canning industry,
according to Mr.. Davidson, as the re-
suit of high cost of raw material. fruit
and sugar, is facing the necessity of
curtailing the pack the coming season.
"Tbe situation is going to rebound
ultimately" he says, ''to the detri-
ment of the grower. We can find an
example of growers ovefestimating
resultant bad effects IN the apple deal
of the past season. Growers last year,
on the openiug of the market, priced
their fruit at figure that cuTtailed
consumption. If the values had been
set lower. low enough to have kept ap'
piles moving swiftly into actual con
SUMPTION. northwestern apple growers
would be thousands OF dollars better
off today. The grower must accept a
reasonable price for his product or kill
the demand. The, consumer in the end
determines how many apples or how
much of a fruit product. or any other
product for that matter, is going to be
sold. Where the price goes beyond
certain figure the consumer will
cease to buy. Growers cannot aifotrd
to produce such situation as this.
CAS- a vice-president of A. Ruper q
Co., who operated nine canneries in
Oregon, | have had occasion recently
to refer to correspondence from job
hers. These dealers are all ready to
curtail order. They state that the
price, both Of fruits canned in ordinary
syrup and preserved product, Is going
to be so high. according to present in
dications, that orders are going to be
relatively small. Indeed, orders are
only a half to q third of expectations.
Of course, the high cost of sugar is an
element in the canning deal / have
heard the sugar growers being accused
of responsibility for the increased cost
of the product. In fact. the refiner, in
nv mind, is doing the larger part of
the boosting. If sugar planters are
wise, they will work to prevent the
prohibltive prices, which are certainly
going to result on large carry-over in
sugar. The condition is going to re
suit in a boomerang that will ulti-
mately be hurtful to growing inter
ests.
Mr.. Davidson's warnings are corrob-
GRATED by the Hood River Canning Co.,
which specializes on Clark Seeding
strawberries.
"At a price of l5 and l6 cents per
pound for strawberries, Says |. r..
Acheson, of the canning concern, a
20.ounce can of our product will cost
the consumer about ST the coming
year. This will certainly place it in
the luxury class and will be hurtful all
around.
