Tenants Made to Grow Feed
Dr. L .C. Floyd, of Olanta, South
Carolina, has as much right to put
F. D. (Doctor of Farming) after his
name as M. D. Liberal doses of his
prescription will work wonders with
the most diseased agricultural sys
tem. He and his tenants got sicker
and sicker every year growing cot
ton and tobacco in the old share
crop way, but now both are thriving
on the new methods that he adopted
seven or eight year’s ago.
Dr. Floyd sees that every tenant
has a milch cow, a sow, a year
around garden, and cans an amply
supply of vegetables and fruit. Most
of their cash crops are pooled for
marketing. Early in Januai-y the
year’s activities are outlined, and
crops are planned with a view of
each tenant growing not less than
enough food and feed to do him the
following year. He recommends his
method as being depression-proof and
says that while they may not wind
up a year’s work with much actual
cash, they are sure to have a lot of
things that they can use in the place
of cash.
W. G. Mangurn, of Wake County,
North Carolina, milks four to six
dairy co'ws that supply milk for the
family, skim-milk for pigs and poul
try, manure for the soil, a market
for home-grown feeds, and cash in

the sale of sour cream. His four
pure-bred sows supply the family
with meat and lard and bring in $l5O
to S2OO a year clear profit from the
sale of pigs and meat. He makes a
profit of $250 or more a year from
the sale of poultry and eggs.
■ Like most of his neighbors, Mr.
Mangurn used to depend almost en
tirely on cotton, but he realized sev
eral years ago that one-crop farming
did not furnish employment through
out the year and that pay-day was
generally very uncertain and always
too far off. So he turned his atten
tion to cows, hogs and hens, and con

COL CLAUD C. RAT PASSES

Relatives and friends here were
pained to learn of the death of Col.
Claude C. Ray, former well known
Jackson citizen, which occurred Sat
urday night at the home of his niece,
Mrs. G. C. Thaxton, in Atlanta. Col.
Ray had been in declining health for
several months and had retired from
active business on account of illness.
Mr. Ray was born and reared in
Butts county, having been a son of
the late Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Ray, es
teemed residents of the county. He
studied law under his brother, the
late Col. L. L. Ray, and was admit
ted to the bar in 1890. For a period
of several years Col. Ray practiced
law in Jackson and then removed to
Jefferson, Ga., later going to Atlan
ta. As an attorney Col. Ray was
well known and highly esteemed.
He was an active member of the
Inman Park Baptist church in which
he took much interest. Col. Ray was
62 years old and was connected with
leading families of this section and
enjoyed a wide acquaintance over
the state. *
He is survived, in addition to his
niece, by two brothers, Mr. J. P. Ray,
of Jackson, and Mr. E. L. Ray, of
Macon; two sisters, Mrs. I. G. Wal
ker, of Atlanta, and Mrs. Dean Kim
bell, of Jackson, and a sister-in-law,
Mrs. L. L. Ray, of Atlanta.
Funeral servees were held Monday
afternoon at 4 o’clock at Spring Hill,
with Rev. Samuel F. Love and Rev.
James Smith officiating. Interment

SUGGESTED FERTILIZER
FORMULAS FOR COTTON'
AND PIMIENTO PEPPERS
On account of the low prices of
cotton and the failure of fertilizers
to make a corresponding drop a great
many farmers are uncertain about
what is the wise course to pursue in
buying fertilizers this season.
Certainly effort should be made
to make the cotton crop as cheap as
possible. The selection of best adapt
ed lands, the saving of all the hoifle
made fertilizer possible will contri
bute to this end, but it will yet prob
ably pay to use commercial fertilizer
in addition. Even at present prices
a hundred pounds of seed cotton will
pay for nearly 200 pounds of high
grade fertilizer and there is a great
deal of evidence to show that 100
pounds of good fertilizer on adapted
lands will make 100 or more pounds
of seed cotton. It is a matter for you
to determine in the light of your ex
perience and knowledge of your own
soils whether you can count on this.
In buying fertilizers you can gen
erally save money by buying ths
raw materials and mixing them your
self. Under present conditions I be
lieve you can save some money
without reducing your yields by re
ducing the proportion of phosphoric
acid in your fertilizer formula. In
fact experiments carried on by the
Griffin Station gave the highest av
erage yield of cotton over a term of
years from a fertilizer in which the
plant foods were in proportion of

America hasn’t gone to pot. We have encoun

conquered them. Each time we have gone on to
even greater prosperity.
Don’t say you can’t help. Don’t say you’re too
little to help cure a big national crisis. YOU
CAN HELP!
Have you hidden your money away, buried it
in the ground, put it in a sock, locked it up in a
safety vault?
Then, bring it out, if you want to help end
this depression. You’ll help your state and your
nation and your fellow man. And you’ll help
YOURSELF.
Every dollar you put back into use helps. It
helps make jobs for the unemployed. It helps
stimulate business. It helps make a market for the
things you grow. And it helps YOU.
Your money is worth more now, in terms of
what it will buy, than it’s been in many, many
years.
And there is a feast of bargains spread out be

Fortunes disappear in times like these. And
new fortunes are made. They are NOT made by
people who hoard their money. They are made

COURAGE, too.
Whatever reason there may have been for
hoarding, it has passed. Well planned, carefully

Cotton seed meal is our own prod|
net and makes a good cotton fertili
zer and I believe it would be good
practice to supply part of your ni
trogen from this source especially if
you have cotton seed that you can
exchange for meal on favorable
terms, although sulphate of ammo
nia is a cheaper source of nitrogen
and a good one. The experiments
indicate that when using sulphate of
ammonia it is wise to use some lime
stone. \
I believe it is wise to use some
potash in your formula to control
diseases like rust which on some
lands and some seasons is very de
structive to cotton.
I am giving below the materials
for two cotton fertilizers, one with
some cotton seed meal and the other
with all the nitrogen from sulphate

In regard to pepper I think there
is little doubt that fertilizer pays
well and I am suggesting a formula
