VALUE or COTTON
SEED AS FERTILIZER
Seed for Fertilizers Not Eco
nomic, Says Authority.

Atlanta, Ga. - February. = II would
be mistake to use cotton seed as
fertilizer. as some farmers are talking
of doing, according to ]. N. Harper,
several years in experiment station
work 10 the South, and now director OF
the Soil Improvement Committee. Con.
tinuing he says:
1T would be mistake for two rea-
sons: First, the South would be de
prived of great wealth producing
substance cottonseed oil; and sec
ond, cotton seed are not the best form
Of fertilizer to apply.
ION the first point, while it is un.
fortunate that the vegetable oil market
is off and the oil miller cannot offer
what the seed are really worth, 1t 10
better to accept what the miller can
afford to give than to allow the oil to
be destroyed when II is needed so
much especially in starving Europe.
ITO use cotton seed as a fertilizer
is to throw away the oil OF the seed,
for oil is not plant food; in fact. 1t is
believed that 1t will retard plant
growth.
Cotton seed contain plant food, but
when the seed are applied, 1t is not
possible to scatter 1t SO as to feed
the crop properly. 1t puts the plant
food on the land in Jumps as repre-
scented by the seed.
"It takes the seed a long time to
decay and become plant food. In fact,
no great amount of the plant food in
cotton seed is ever actually used by
the crop. AS evidence Of this, we cite
Farmers Bulletin ESQ of the United
States Department of Agriculture. page
8, from which we quote: The seeds
are incased in hulls which must de-
cay before the crop can utilize the
plant food in them, and the kernels
contain oil which is supposed to retard
their decomposition, SO that consider
able moisture is required to decompose
the seed and make available the plant
food. In case Of very dry season,
It does not become available fast
enough to supply the crop, and no
doubt portion of 1t fails to become
available until after the crop natures.
"A table on page . Of this bulletin
shows that a difference of 303 lbs.
of seed cotton per acre In favor OF
cotton seed meal as compared with
cotton seed, was obtained in a test
where twice as much cotton seed was
used as meal.
"South Carolina Experiment Station
tests and tests Of four other southern
states show that pound of well
balanced mixed fertilizer win produce
pound and more Of seed cotton. A
test In Alabama shows that it took
s.pounds of cotton seed to produce a
pound OF seed cotton.

said H. G. Hastings, President Of the

1T looks as IL we all went cotton

Of plain facts as TO costs Of cotton

Cotton is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The time Of war prices is
over and the problem from now on is
to lower cost of production and at the

According to an editorial in last Fri
days Commercial Appeal an Arkansas
planter ordered % bushels of corn
from Missouri at s1.00 per bushel and
the freight between these two neigh
boring states was So cents per bushel.
Then the Commercial Appeal goes on
to preach good sermon on Arkansas
and Tennessee and the rest Of the
southern states raising their own corn
and saving the freight. We are glad
we have been preaching this sermon
for many months in almost every issue
Of The Falcon. II we save nothing else
by growing our own corn, oats, hay,
and meats. except the freight we will
make a good profit by it. The southern
states can no longer afford to buy from
other sections and pay the unjust and
unreasonable ireights which have been
forced upon Us by the Railroad Labor
Board, U. 5. organization which is re-
sponsible for high salaries to railroad
employees and thereby responsible for
high freight costs.

CALCIUM ARsENArE TREATMENT

An idea Of the benefit gained by
application OF the calcium arsenate
treatment developed and recommend
ed by the United States Department
Of Agriculture against the cotton-boll
weevil Is found In the experience Of
Q large planter at Tallulah, La. With
the exception OF certain test plats. this
mans entire acreage was busted with
calcium arsenate. the cost being $500
an acre. He obtained an average yield
Of i.215 pounds Of seed cotton TO the
acre on the land surrounding the test
plats, while these Imprisoned test
piats averaged only 800 pounds. or
about Is per cent Of the yield on the
poisoned cotton. Thus his net profit
from poisoning on these areas on
sales made before declining prices Of
cotton was about sl20 an acre.

the farmer is entitled to every consid.
GRAFTON within reason.
AT such time as this when the
farmer is facing the problem OF which
crops to grow, and how much he can
venture to spend in their production,
Mr.. Harper says, that he, as a farmer
himself knows that 1t is the most DIFF
ficult situation of the kind he has ever
confronted.
This is the way this agricultural
authority figures out the proposition
OF profitable crop production in 1921:
Grow enough food and feed crops
to supply as far as possible the needa
OF the family. the tenants and live
stock. Then pick out the kind of cash
crops that seem to offer the best pros.
poets.
Cotton will always be one of the
best cash crops that a Southern farm.
er can grow. No cotton farmer can
afford to throw cotton aside alto
gether.
But cotton should not be the only
cash crop. 1t would only be another
case OF carrying all the eggs In one
basket. 1t is better to go to market
with more than one crop. Among
these other crops are peanuts, legume
hays, tobacco, sweet potatoes, sugar
cane, sorghum, rice and perhaps other
crops. In addition there should be
a gradual adding. as means will allow,
of more livestock, beginning with hogs
preferably and taking on other ami
mails as soon as possible.
in facing the problem of profitable
crop production for the year 1921, two
facts must be considered. ID Crop
prices are low. 90 Crop producing
expenses have not fallen correspond
ingly.
"The farmer must remember that
when crop prices are low, 1t takes
more of the crops to cover the pro
duction cost. This narrows the mar
gin of profits. Therefore, II q farmer
does not look well to keeping up his
acre yields, there viii be no margin
left above the cost of production.
Always, the most expensive yields
are the low yields and the most re-
munerative are the high yields. II
there are losses to be sustained, as
was the case in 1920, the farmer who
grew the greatest yields per acre lost
least.
"A safe and sane policy that needs
especial emphasis for 1921, is: Guard
your profits with high acre yields.'
This involves good preparation of the
seed bed, the use Of high producing
seed, liberal fertilization and thorough
cultivation A neglect to employ any
one Of these TO the proper extent may
mean that the farmer win find him
self poorer at the end Of the season
