PUSH FERTILIZER CAMPAIGN
Economical Use OF Fertilizer and
fiOmc MIXING.

Econ0inical Use OF fcrlIllIcr ana
fiome Mixing.
TO Laurens County Farmers:
At a meeting OF County Agents and
other Agricultural Extension workers
at Spartanburg last week, resolutions
were drawn up favoring a vigorous
campaign in each county Of South Car
ers in 1921, the campaign in each coun-
ty to be directed by the County Agent
The Extension workers from Glenn
son College advocate the intelligent
use Of fertilizers this year, and recon-
mend home mixing, and where posi-
bic, buying on cash basis. lnforma-
ton can be obtained from the county
agent concerning the best mixtures for
different crops on different soils. The
county agent can also give advice as to
the comparative values Of the different
kinds Of fertilizers.
According to information received
from Washington there is no shortage
Of fertilizers this year and due to a
lcssened demand the wholesale prices
have fallen considerably. The follow
ing figures will give an idea as to the
trend OF fertilizer prices: From Sep
tembcr 9Th to January 3lst, nitrate Of
soda dropped from 3.G0 to $3.50 per
hundreds pounds; aulphatc Of am
monia from $3.50 to $500 per hundred
pounds; cotton seed meal from $40 to
$50 per ton; dried blood from 81. 80 to
S3.Io per unit; animal tankagc from
500 TO $3.50 per unit; bulk lG per
cent acid phosphate from $21 to SIS
per ton. The above are wholesale quo
tations, and the figures were received
from j. A. Evans, Office OF Extension
Work South, Washington, ID. c.
Meetings will be held in various
parts Of the county during the coming
week to discuss the fertilizer situation,
and to take UP the matter Of home
mixing Of fertilizers. The farmers will
be shown wherein they can save sew
eral dollars per ton by home mixing.
Farmers can also save very largely by
cooperative buying at cash prices.
Find out from your school teacher
just when the meeting will be held in
yG3r part Of the county, and be sure to
uttoNd. It may mean scy2'al dollars
