Cotton Acreage Too Large

(Gadsden 7vening JournaD
 Many Etowah county farmers, we fear, are going to have sad ex- perience next fall, if they carry out their plans for increasing the cotton acreage. Fertilizer dealers report that the sales now are two and one half times as much as was used last year.

Uses of Sugar

Bootleggers seem to have no trouble
getting plenty of sugar and paying the
price. The prohibition agents discover
ed huge still the other day within few
miles of Washington and along with
500 gallons of liquor they seized 1000
pounds of sugar.-The Pathfinder.
And Washington is not the only
place where an enormous amount OF
sugar is used for the same purpose. 1t
would be interesting to know the
amount of sugar used in the manufac-
ture of 'fHootch" in Shenandoah
County. 1t is rumored that some people
are getting wise to the purpose and
destination of much of the sugar sold
here.

Reprint from the National Stock
man and farmer
A grea. amount of misinfor-
nation regarding the fertilizer
dealer exists, and the proposal is
frequently made that he should
be eliminated and that the man.
lufacturer should market his pro-
duct by direct sales to the con-
sumner. That such a procedure
is entirely impractical and that
the dealer is a necessary factor
in the economical distribution of
fertilizers, the following facts
should make clear:
The fertilizer business is
seasonal one, the delivery seasons
being covered by approximately
eight weeks in the spring and
five weeks for fall wheat trade.
To prepare for these shipping
seasons the manufacturer must
begin the assembling of raw ma
terials, manufacture and process
of curing from eight to twelve
months in advance, and have
large and costly stock on hand
ready for shipment when the de-
inand arises. All these steps re-
quire heavy financing, and it
will be readily understood that
no manufacturer could UNDER
take to accumulate such stocks
unless he had a reasonably assur-
q and regular market for the
same, and the only regular mark
ct can be had through his estab-
isl ed dealers, distributed thru-
oul the consuming territory, who
over loug period of years, have
created a regular demand for the
manufacturer goods.
Suppose that a manufa cturer
should eliminate all his dealers
and contract with an orga nizat-
Ion for its entire seasons output,
Very good as far as that season |
is concerned; but the next season |
a competing manufactures secur-
es the cooperative contract. and
the first manufactures is left with
a stock of goods, has lost his re.
tail dealers and faces ruin. Under
such plan no Industry could
Iong exist.

busting Apple Orchards For
Rosy ADhis Not Successful

NUoY itOL
W. S Hough, of the Crop Pest
Office, reports some observations
made in Frederick County on the
use of nicotine dust for the con-
troll of rosy aphis. This insect
is a pest Of apple trees, Thus
FAR the rosy aphis has been the
most conspicuous pest i'll apple
orchards this yeai, and now that
it has once more collected its
portion OF the spoils it has de-
veloped wings and migrated tol
plantain for the summer season.
Meanwhile, the growers are|
wondering why this must go on.
Many thought the cold weather
during the last week in March
killed all the aphis. 1t is true
that the green bud aphis which
began Matching in Northern
Virginia about the 23rd of March
were practically all killed by low
temperatures but the rosy aphis
did not begin 10 hatch until
sometime between April 1 and
The 4. Because of the later
Matching date, the rosy aphis
was more fortunate is surviving
the severe temperatures.
Many growers applied nico-
tine and lime sulfur as recommend
ed in the spray calendar for the
delayed dormant spray. Some of
these growers obtain excellent
result. but others experienced no
control even say, "The aplIis
fattened on the nicotine. Some
of the latter group remembered
what this insect did last year
and sought relief by attempting
TO DESTROY the aphis with nfco-
tine dust.
Most of the apilis injury was
done this season by the third
brood of aphis between May IS
and Is. However. it was not
until May Is that the weather
became favorable for busting, SO
on the 18th, and 10th and % and
in ideal, warm, still weather nico-
tine dust was applied from both
sides Of the tree at the tate of
| n pounds per tree. A thorough
examination of many Of the trees
~ hours after the busting was
doue, and again three days after,
failed to show evidence of the
insecticidal value of the nico-
tine dust in killing the aphis. Il
is certain that less than 5 per
cent of the insects were killed. |
Furthermore, not less than per
cent of all the aplIis injury had
already been inflicted on the
leaves and fruit on the apple
trees before favorable weather
conditions arrived to make dust
; ing possible, that is, temper.

little or no wind. In short dust

delayed dormant application will |
suffer little loss due to apLis
1t has been proven by labor

ehS hOCHCSt Aluu. AS COuSCe
quence the dealers profit is an
exceedingly meagre one, and for
this small margin he must Sc
cure the farmers orders unload
shipments, provide storage, keep
accounts and give credit to such
consumers as are not in position
or do not find it convenient to
buy for cash on delivery. Many
farmers have been and are still
acting in the capacity of ferti-
lizer dealers and can testify to
the fact that their profits are
very small.
Without the dealer there is no
practical plan for granting credit
to the fertilizer user who needs
1t. The cash BUYER may think
that this does not concern him.
but actually it does. Prob.
ably so per cent of the fertilizer
consumed is purchased on credit.
If this portion of the business
were eliminated, production
would of necessity be reduced in
like proportion, and as a result
cost and prices would soar.
Quantity is absolutely necessary
for economical production. The
farmer will best understand this
phase by comparing the differ
ence in cost per bushel between
full crop and a half crop of
grain on his acres. In respect to
credits, the country fertilizer
dealer occupies relatively the
same position as the country
bank does to the federal reserve
bank. A borrower of money
cannot secure funds directly
from the federal reserve bank,
but must negotiate his loan
through the local bank which
knows him personally and guar
antees the payment of his loan.
1t is not always possible for the
farmer to anticipate his fertilizer
requirements. Weather conditions
at the time of seeding or plant
ing frequently determine his
plans and needs, ond such needs
can be supplied only by the dea.-
er who carries stock in storage.
1t should also be remembered
that there is only one middle
man between the fertilizer man.
ufacturer and the farmer, and
thar is the country dealer. In
contrast to this it should be
noted that there are relatively
few articles OF commerce which
do not pass through several
hands before reaching the con-
sumner.
The fact remains that the dis
trlbution of fertilizer is the Job of
the country dealer, including the
incorporated cooperative elevator,
which is in position to command
and extend credit. aud render
other necessary services to the
buyer. Speaking of farmer.
elevator companies, the prime
reason for organizing these Coop
erative companies is that of
economizing in the marketing of
grain. Such economy necessitates
the keeping down of overhead
expenses, and for this purpose
were added to the handling oil
grain such commodities as ferti-
lizer. coal. feed, ETC.; but it must
be born in mind at the veryl
outset that these articles of mer-
chandies cannot be handled Just
to give somebody something toi
do, neither as mere matter of
accommodation. They are hand
led 10 assist in meeting cost of /
operation. therefore each COM
modify mnst be handled on
of profit, They must be
handled with the theory in mind
of reducing the cost of handling
tie grain; any other plan will re-
suit in an injustice, not only to
lie members of the elevator
company, but to its patrons in
general. !,
