We CAN'T AFFORD NOT
TO Use Fertilizer
THIS YEAR
Progressive Farmer)


With fertilizer at It's present high
prices, can we afford to use It this
year?
This is the upperinost fertilizer ques-
ton In the minds Of the farmers In
the fertilizer-using sections Of the
South. The Progressive Farmer has
gone thoroughly into this question from
every angle, and the deeper we go the
more convinced we are that our farm
ers can't afford not to use fertilizer
to make their 1921 crops. The per acre
cost will be increased, but the per
bushel or per pound cost will be re-
duced, and 1t Is the bushels and pounds
that we must sell at a profit.
This is not time to plunge on fertilizer
In order to get phenomenal yields, or
to experiment with new mixtures. Use
safe amounts of the kinds Of fertilizer
that have given paying results on your
types of soil. Not only should the
farmers who have heretofore used fer
tilizer continue the conservative use
OF 1t, but there are farmers III every
community who have depended solely
on their own efforts and the original
plant foods in poor soil to make their
crops, who should now supplement
these things with added plant food, at
least on few acres, and get away
from unprofitably low yields. We can
not afford to farm at loss again this
year, and yields OF Is to 20 bushels
of corn or a fourth to third OF q
bale of cotton an acre will not pay
for the labor, seed and use of the land
and leave a profit. 1t is essential,
then, that our yields be raised well
above the average, and the only prac-
ticable means of doing this for this
years is with fertilizer wisely used.

Yields, Economy
and Fertilizer
(Southern Ruralist. }

(Southern RurallSt.1
To make the crops OF 1921 larger
and more economical than they would
otherwise be even on reduced acreage
there can be no doubt that the judi
cious use Of fertilizers is to be recon.
mended
A great many people are arguing,
rstth particular reference to cotton,
that we should not try to increase our
yield per acre because that would in
crease the total production. That is
like arguing that man should make
two trips to town, hauling half-load
at time, when ore trip would do the
job.
We should buy comparatively in car
lots, paying cash If possible, and in
sist ON the better grade materials. Per
unit the plant foods in the better grade
goods come cheaper. Like the argu-
ment against increased yields, there
is not one single sound argument In
favor of low grade fertilizers. Buy
whatever gives best results on your
soils.

Fertilizer Situation
Progressive Farmer.)

tHTORT6SSltc Il al llCi.D
II is an accepted fact that when
the prices of crops are low, higher
yields per acre must be striven for.
Fertilizers have been the chief de.
pendence Of the Southern farmer for
pushing up yields in the past. This
year he would, Of coure, like to have
fertilizers so cheap that he could use
them to the limit. But it seems that
fertilizers will not be sold as cheaply
as they have been in the past.
On the part of the fertilizer manu-.
facturer there is a claim that they
cannot possibly get back to pre-war
prices this year. One reason given
as to why this cannot be done is, that
the industry is carrying very heavy
load of farmers accounts that came
over from 1920. In order to carry
these notes the manufacturers have
been forced to borrow heavily. Yet,
in spite of this, losses have already
occurred on 1920 accounts, In addition
there was considerable material
bought at peak prices last summer
for use in manufacturing mixed ferti.
lizers this year. On this they stand
to lose.
The fertilizer industry is under.
writing the farmers of the South to
the extent Of about $150,000000. Had
the fertilizer manufacturers closed in
and collected all the farmers notes
when they fell due it is probable that
there would have been widespread
financial disaster.

TIE COTTON SITUATION

The u. S. Government cotton con-
dit.on report was published Monday
and estimates that only 1922 per cent.
of crop, with an estimate OF six and
one-half million bales. THIS is the saor-
test cotton crop in thirty years and the
worst condition report since the Civil
War. Last year tht South made thir-
teen million bales and now it is GER
tain that one-haf of that amount will
not be made this year. To date nearly
three million bales-nearly one-half of
the expected crop--has been ginned
In this section two-thirds of the crop
has been gathered. Picking will be
completed by the end of this month.
1t is certain that even with the enor-
nous carry over from last years crop,
over five million bales, that therewilI
not be enough cotton before
Che next crop is made and a cotton
famine is predicted before next Au-
gust.

A WISE JUDGE

The charge of Judge James E.
Fturifoy, which we< published last
week, was the cause of much COM
ment in Chesterfield county. And it
accomplished real good3Petit jurors
who are the real Representatives of
the people, evidently listened to the
able judges words and believed what
he said. Every case prosecuted by
Solicitor Spears with a single ex-
ception, the first case tried, resulted
in verdicts of guilty.
On Thursday when the whiskey
cases came up FIVE separate juries
returned verdicts of guilty. The
Judge sentenced no less than four
white men to the chain gang for
terms of four to twelve months for
making booze.
Much favorable comment was
heard as to the intelligent interest
the Judge took in youthful criminals.
Two boys of Pageland and two more
Of Mt. Croghan who hid pied guilty
to house breaking and larcency were
up before the Judge Ton sentence.
Parents and friends begged for sus-
pended sentences owing to- the youth
Of the boys-about Average age of
seventeen. The Judge reserved de-
cision Thd thought over the matter
and held private conference with the
boys and their parents. Finally, he
gave the boys chain gsng sentences,
with all of the same suspended pro-
vided the boys hereafter regularly
worked or attended school, were reg
ular in church and Sunday School
attendance. At each term of court
during the life of their sentence they
must report here to the Solicitor with
certificates from teachers-both day
school and Sunday Schooi-and from
the pastor of their church. If they do
not have these showing they have
been doing as they promised and
as directed by the Judge then the
suspended sentences are togo into
effect. The Judge was sprry, for the
boys and did not intend 20 send them
to the gang if he could help it, at the
same time he has placed the boys un-
der restrictions.
