Large Apple Crop
Expected In Gilmer

enthusiastic over the prospects for
the new crop, which they believe will
break all previous records for the
county, since many young trees will
produce their first marketable fruit.
IN LOVING MEMORY
This is in loving memory of my
dear husband Abb Gilbert.
Eight years ago on Easter Sunday
they laid my own dear Abb away.
How sweet the memory lingers still,
butl know it was God’s holy will, I
am sure Jesus wanted to let him in.
When he called him from this world
of sin.
The last word on earth he ever
said while I was standing by his bed,
“I am still trusting in my God ”
Now he is sleeping beneath the sod,
while I wonder to and fro, And I
know some time I must go, And then
1 hope to meet you there, Christ sa’d
the way was found in prayer.
Written by his heart-broken wife
Esther Gilbert.

FARMERS HAVE BIG JOB
IN NATIONAL DEFENSE
Washington, D. C.—“ Farmers
can take ‘efficient production’ as a
watchword,” says Chester C. Davis,
Commissioner in Charge of the
Agricultural Division, National De
fense Advisory Commission, in a
recent article in The Fertilizer
Review telling what immediate
action farmers can take in our
national emergency.

CHESTER C. DAVIS
“Efficient production means ap
plying farming practices that will
get the highest yields from the
fewest acres. It means lowering
production costs and at the same
time improving quality and increas
ing volume,” states Mr. Davis.
“It means exercising far-seeing
care in conserving the fertility of
the soil by practices which not only
prevent waste of fertility but help
to restore it.”
RIGHT FERTILIZER
APPLICATION METHODS
BOOSTS CROP YIELDS
Just as a good cook can take the
same raw food as a poor cook and
make it go farther and taste better
by using the right utensils and
proper methods of preparation, so
can a careful farmer make the
same amount of plantfood in the
soil taste better to the plants and
bring a higher return in increased
yield by proper application.
Side Application Pays
“Although good results are ob
tained from fertilizer used in cus
tomary ways, recent experiments
show that better yields can be ob
tained from the same amount of
fertilizer by improved methods of
application,” says H. R. Smalley,
Director of Soil Improvement Work
of The National Fertilizer Asso
ciation.
For example, recommendations
made from experiments conducted
in Ohio indicate that side applica
tion of fertilizer for corn is very
effective when properly done. And
oftentimes more fertilizer can be
used at a profit when it is properly
applied. Without fertilizer a poor
yield was obtained and half of that
was soft corn and nubbins. The
plot fertilized with an old-type
method of application produced
twice as much sound, marketable
corn as the unfertilized plot. But
when the same amount of fer
tilizer was applied in two bands
with the new-type planter the yield
was 6 to 8 bushels more per acre
than from the old-type.
Fertilizer Profits Low
A ten-year average profit of
the fertilizer industry as report
ed by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue shows a return of only
one and five one-hundredth cents
on a dollar of sales while 32,000
farmers in a recent survey re
ported a return of $3.60 in in
creased yields for each dollar
spent on fertilizer.
In the last ten years for which
figures are available 1929-1938
total fertilizer profits amounted
to one and five hundredths cents
for each dollar of sales, or 94 cents
on each ton of $26 fertilizer sold.
Figures just released by the
Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue on corporation income tax
returns by industries for 1938
shows returns for 374 fertilizer
manufacturers. Of this number
161 or 43 per cent reported defi
cits. The average return for
1938 was 3.6 per cent. The
S.E.C. reports returns of 16
large chemical companies not
engaged in fertilizer manufac
ture showed a return of 20.5
per cent.
