,oc FOR YOUR CoTTON-Its SOC that is beil

zoe FOR YOUR COTTON-Its Soc that is being
paid for cotton now-did you ever hope to live
TO see cotton bring Soc in time of peace. A short
crop is alleged to be the main reason for this high
price; but farmers, there have been short crops
before this time and you didn't get anything like
SOC, not even zoe, for your cotton, then Then is
it not reasonable to assume that at least some
of this increase in the price of cotton this year
IS in part due to the plan OF marketing thru
the Cooperative Marketing association. OF
course it s-and no fair-mnded man will have
the nerve to deny it. If this is undeniable with
a short crop, and it IS then figure it out, how
much more useful the organization can be for
you, should bumper crop be made some time
in the future, even if not in 1928 With enough
money behind it to finance the entire cotton belt
il need be, the Cooperative Marketing assoca-
ZION take off of the market two or even more
million bales of cotton, ust at the time when
the small farmers i'll the past have always been
compelled to sell to meet immediate claims. With
the lowest interest and warehouse charges, there
being profit to be made for the middleman the
association can, and does advance to it's members
enough money per pound to carry them over to
such time as they find best to sell their cotton
end in quantity direct to the spinners, saving
again the profits of the middleman to the farmer
and selling it at a time when the demand is
the strongest They not forced to sell on u
low market to meet their financial arrangements
the Government gives them all the time they need
Tor orderly marketing of this great southern CROP
and the cotton farmer is thus protected against
all the former influences which operated against
them We would advise our farmer readers to come
out to meeting which is to be held at the Court
House Saturday at 10 o'clock when representa-
lives OF the Georgia Cooperative Cotton Market
ing association will address the farmers of Ben Hill
county and exlain their plans, Already number of
our farmers arc members of this association and
have done business with them the past season and
all are satisfied with the resuts-you should he
one OF them and thus unionze the whole cotton in
dustry and make your cotton crop pay you profit

That sentiment can even be COM

ers assemble with wagons at his

office during which good fellowship"
simply oozed out of each of the we'll

Doc. Watkins, with a bottle of pop,
gave the toast of the day, as follows:
The Reliance Fertilizer no burned
rock does it hold, it's mission is to
coin the gold; the other guanos NAV
be good, but the Reliance is the best.
for the people have made a fair test"
"A. II. Denmark of Valdosta, repre-

big business given this company thru

HOW FERTILIZER BEAT THE WEEvIL-

The fertilization OF cotton in 1923 deserves to be
given more serious thought since the boil weevil
has practically covered the cotton area OF the
South. Everyone who has given serious thought
10 cotton production knows that success, in fight
ing the weev comes very largely from means and
methods leading to early setting of bolls and early
maturity of the crop. Early and thorough prep
aration Of the soil early planting of the best va
rictes, thick spacing and delayed and limited
choppng together with frequent and shallow cu-
tvation, all useful They aid in inducing the
crop to get ahead of the weevil by setting and ma
turing fruit before the weevils have multiplied in
numbers great to practically destroy the
squares. Another effective but indirect means Of
lighting the weevi is found in the of fertilizer
that develops and natures the crop quickly.
Experiments conducted by the North Carolina
Experiment Station throw valuable light the
efficiency of fertilizer in cotton production and
pecially upon the common carrerh of nitrogen us
ed with phosphoric acid and potash. These tests
show that nitrate of soda was the most efficient
Of the six sources of nitrogen used in the expert
ment. 1t produced the most lint as is shown in the
