ON THE IMPORTANCE
OF GRADING COTTON

Clemson College, December 81
Cotton appears to be the only COM
modify which is treated with the
tcnderest of care in it's growing
stage and after being gathered is
sold without the producer familiar
izing himself with the value, says
=. G: Parker, Specialists in Cotton
Grading for the Extension Service of
Clemson College and the United
States Bureau of Markets. Certain
~ he should be as careful as the
cotton mill, and the mill would not
make an offer for bale until it had
asccrtained the grade and length of
staple. And the farmer should GER
tainly be as careful with the raw
material as the mill is with it's fin
ished product. When the mill offers
its goods whether yarn or cloth it
states the character of yarn or cloth
it is offering and sells to the highest
bidder in any market; or when it
stores yarn or cloth it certainly keeps
a record of the number and charac-

FERTuf7'N PRICES

The Department of Agriculture
has repeatedly urged the fertilizer
trade, in determining their prices for
the spring season of 1921, to recognize
to the fullest extent the downward
trend of prices of raw materials and
to give their customers, the farmers
Of the United States, every possible
price concessions. Their attention has
been called to their insistence during
the war years upon the application OF
the Replacement principle" in deter
n!ining their price quotations during
the period of rising prices and to their
abandonment of thAs Theory under
changed conditions Of a falling mar
ket.
The larger manufacturers, after
conference with thc department, de-
c.ded to lower the unit cost of pot
ssh ana of ammonia in determining
the price of their mixed fertilizers
(Which had been based on unit costs
time, however, the prices of raw
materials have continued to decline,
with the result that on November
10, the estimated average purchase
price of ammonia was $400 unit,
representing decline of $1.0O a
unit since September 25. Since No.
vember Is, there have been further
substantial reductions in the prices
Of raw materials.
The larger manufacturers, in de-
ternimiilg the prices Of their mixed
fertilizers, have figured acid phos-
phate at price which is 20 cents
per unit lower than the fall of 1920
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1921-01-05

chased at prices higher than those
now prevailing, the department feels
that, in view of existing market con-
ditions, the prices of mixed ferti-
lizers quoted by manufacturers for
the spring trade Of 1921 are too
high. The consuming public is vi
tally concerned in this matter for
the reason that the maintenance of
high prices for fertilizers, at time
when the prices of farm products
have greatly declined, may result in
curtailment Of the use of fertilizers
and a reduction in acreage and in
yield per acre of crops planted

Two Types That Require Different
Methods Of Handlins-Cuttino As

Wheat, corn and potatoes require
planting, care and cultivation. The
crop of wood that grows on the farm
wOOdlot requires much less care than
these others, and in the majority of
cases 1t is already growing on the
farm when the farmer takes the land.
Doubtless this fact makes it difficult
for the farmer TO see this crop in the
same light in which he regards the
others. Any other farm crop must be
cared for or it will fail, and the stand
of wood on the wOodlot is no eXcep-
