FERTILIZER SITUATION
Extension of Credits Will Be

The fertilizer situation In the South
Is unusual. More than rs per cent of

fertilizer business.
This means that the further exten.
sion OF credit will necessarily be- yery
much restricted to debtors until their
accounts are paid Many 1920 farm.
ers' notes are still In the hands of
local dealers and banks. This restricts
the ability OF these agencies to extend
credit, thus increasing the difficulties
Of the situation.
Fertilizer manufacturers state tha,
they are taking losses not only on
bad accounts, but also on the mate
rails that they bought at high prices,
This. coupled with the unsatisfa ctory
credit situation. is making the fertiliz.
or manufacturers slow about pushing
their goods on the market.
Though fertilizer prices have fallen,
they have not gone down as much as
the price Of crops. Nor have land

Dor been reduced In proportion to the
price Of crops. 1t follows that every
effort must be made to produce the
crops economically.
When crop prices are low 1t is nee.
essary to get high yields per acre to
make any profit at all. Low yields and
low crop prices can mean only one
thing, and that Is loss. Therefore,
the Southern farmer must make every
blow count in 1921. Each cultivated
acre must be forced to do It's best
in producing economic high Yields
In order to do this, fertilizers mus,
be used. as every cotton belt farmer

Value OF COTTON
seed AS FERTILIZER
Seed for Fertilizers Not Eco
nomic, Says Authority.

Atlanta, Ga. - February. - It would
be mistake to use cotton seed "a
fertilizer. as some farmers are talking
OF doing, according to j. N. Harper,
several years IN experiment station
work in 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
substancc-cottonseed oil; and sec.
ond, cotton seed are not the best form
OF fertilizer to apply.
"On 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 Ia
better to accept what the miller can
afford 20 give than to allow the oil tt
be destroyed when 1t is needed &C
much especially in starving Europe.
ITO use cotton seed as fertilizer
Is to throw away the oil Of the seed,
for oil Is not plant food; in fact. 1t is
beloved that it will retard plant
growth.
Cotton seed contain plant food, but
when the seed are applied. 1t Is not
possible to scatter it SO as to feed
the crop properly. 1t puts the plant
food on the land In Jumps rs repre.
sented by the seed
1T takes the seed 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 286 Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, page
S, 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 tho kernels
contain oil which Ia supposed to retard
their decomposition, so that consider
able moisture is required to decompose
the seed and make available tho plant
food. In case Of very dry season.
1t does not become available fast
enough to supply the crop, and no
doubt portion Of it 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 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 q pound Of we'll
balanced mixed fertilizer will produce
pound and more Of seed cotton A
test In Alabama shows that It took
8 pounds Of cotton seed to produce q
pound Of seed cotton.
In other words, at present prices
Of cotton seed and complete fertiliz.
ers. there Is no doubt that It will
pay to sell the seed and buy the fer.
tilizers.
In exchanging cotton seed for cot.
ton seed meal, 1t will be we'll to re-.
member that II the plant food is to
be taken into consideration, that ton
OF meal contains three times more
phosphoric acid than ton Of seed; +;
two and onehalf times more nitro
gen and one and onehalf times more
potash than the seed contain"

WHO WAS HIT HARDEST?

The lorkvllc Enquirer Of recent
date remarked:
IF this denation period does not
figure in some pretty hot campaign-
ing some day. then there is no truth
in the proposition that history re-
peats itself. Deilation would be al
right if it could be made to hit AL
alike; but where it doubles tho
wealth OF the few to the ruin Of the
many, there Is going to be difficulty
about satisfactory reconciliation"
To which the Newberry Herald and
News adds:
THAT is the trouble. The dena-
ton does not debate the debls that
were made during the petict Of in
Nation, and now dollar Is really
worth more than when some OF the
debts were made, and the debts thai
were contracted with cotton at 40
cents the pound can hardly be paid
with cotton at Is cents the pound.
And yet, on the other hand, there
WI g. AZ" WIN lAC lOICSlBHl 10
pay debts with cotton at 10 cents
that were made when cotton was IS
cents, and even less. The trouble Is
that too many Of US did not take ad-
vantage OF the debt-paying power Of
money when cotton was up in price,
and just went on spending and left
the debts standing. 1t was so easy to
spend and to buy without even ask
ing the price when money was plenti-
ful. And then the defatlon has been
sudden and so rapid that 1t Is diff
cult to got adjusted all at once"
The Herald and News looks at the
matter very much in the light that
we have seen the situation. 1t has
always seemed to us that the ones
who howl" aginst rcadjustment
in our economic plans are placing the
blame in the wrong place Ninety
per cent Of the trouble--.or certainly
a very high per CENTS due to the
cause to which tho Herald and News
points: That Is. tho failure to pay
debts and meet obligations promptly
while the money was in hand. and
while it was coming easy We have
Nlt1e cause to complain. it seems to
us, if we spent rccklcssly and paid
debts sparingly while money was
cheap and our products and labor
nhnorma!!y high IN their vaIuo. The
man who took care Of what he had
and what he made is not badly hurt.
II hurt at all, except "in his feelings" "
and when we all readjust ourselves
and realize that we are going to have

course, the great majority Of us
by the sweat Of our brows" once
more. we will have come near to a
