The Value of Crim*on Clover
There are several reasons why
Crimson Clover is an outstanding
crop. It gives large yields per
acre, the chemical analysis is un
usually high, it will soften hard land,
make; good grazing crop, protects
soil from being eroded und will bring
in cash income while most common
crops can not be grown.
The chemical analysis of Crimson
Clove} are as follows:
Fresh green clover contains 2.3
pounds of crude protein, 8.1 pounds
of carbonhydrates, 0.4 pounds fat
as digestible nutrients per hundred
pounds. Asa fertilizer it contains
4.8 pounds of nitrogen, 2 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 4.1 pounds of
potash per hundred pounds.
There have 'been tests made show
ing that Crimson Clover will pro
duce 38,00 pounds of green clover in
Georgia and we know that Butts
county can do as good as any other
county in the state.
38,000 pounds of green clover
turned under will contain 0,012
pounds of dry matter or humus, 182
pounds of pure nitrogen (equiv
alent to 1140 pounds of 10 per cent
nitrate of soda), 70 pounds of phos
phoric acid (equivalent to 480

A CALF and A CROP
Have the Same Idea
on the Food Question 1
• Why is a growing calf like a
growing crop?
Answer: Because the food re
quirements of each are so much
the same.
Scientists are making this
point clearer every day through
their research into the impor
tance of vitamins in animal diet
and the need of impurities in
the food of plants.
These vital impurities are
the all-important
thing in fertilizing
today. They are the
rarer elements

nesium, potassium,
calcium, lithium,

' pounds of 10 per cent phosphate),
and 153 pounds of potash (equiva
lent to 700 pounds of 20 per cent
potash). This is a total of 2410
pounds of fertilizer. More fertili-
|zer than any one crop can use in
j < nc year.
Why huy fertilizer when we can
: grow this for a cash out lay of 2
per acre?
Processing Tax Offsetts Tariff
For The Farmer
For more ‘han 100 years, the cot
ton farmer of the South has been
the inocent victim of a national
tariff structure which has forced
him to pay higher than world prices
for things he has to huy.
At the same time, he has had to
sell his staple on an open competi-
tive world market.
“In other words,” says G. V.
Cunningham, chairman of the state
allotment board, “the cotton grower
has sold in an open market and
bought in a protected market. As
the tariff has raised the price of
things the cotton grower grower has
had to buy, he has been increasingly
placed at a disasvantage and has
had to meet the situation 'by pro
ducing his crop at a low price, by
allowing his land to wash away and
become infertitle, by permitting his
implements and buildings to fall to
decay, and to use the labor of wo
men and children to meet competi
ion. The lew years in which the
crop has sold for a fair price, it was
necessary to rehabilitate the farm
against the other days of low in
come.”
Cotton is an export commodity
and a tariff for the crop is 'there
fore impractical making it neces-
strontium and many others.
With them your crops produce
as Nature intended them to.
Chilean Natural Nitrate con
tains these rarer elements in
Nature's own balance and pro
portion. Chilean's quick-acting
nitrogen, plus its vital impuri
ties, make it the safe, sure fer
tilizer for your crops.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS- ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
COUNTY’S OAT CROP IS
UNUSUALLY GOOD ONE
GRAIN HARVEST IN THIS SEC
TION TO BEGIN IN A FEW
DAYS. ACREACE LARGER
THAN PAST SEVERAL YEARS.
Farmers of Butts county are about
ready to begin the harvest of what
appears to 'be the best oat crop iin
many years. From all of
the county come reports of unusu
ally good oats and some high yield •
are expected.
The acreage planted last fall was
the largest in some time, and indica
tions point to plenty of home raised
feed for livestock. This will oe timo
'y for many farmers whose yield of
corn last year was limited by exces
sive rains.
While yields appear to be uniform
ly good, those who have followed a
plan of soil improvement by plant
ing cover crops will be rewarded by
an outturn well above the state av
erage.
In general terms farmers who
rented land to the government plant
ed this idle acreage to feed crops
and soil enrichment crops, inc'ud
ing clover, vetch, Austrian peas and
lespedeza.
Farm work is well advanced and
there will be opportunity for hand
ling the grain crop and sowing peas.
Last season it is recalled, excessive
rains ruined much of the grain.
The wheat crop of wnich there is
a considerable acreage in the county
is pronounced generally good. No
exceptional yields are expected but
the general average will be fair, it
is learned from farmers.
Wheat harvest will follow the oat
crop and will get under way in a lew
days.
HEAVY PURCHASE MATERIALS
MADE BY FORD MOTOR CO.
Deaborn, Mich. —Anew high rec
ord of purchases of materials and
supplies for use in manufacture of
Ford V-8 cars and trucks was set
by the Ford Motor Company in
March it was announced at the home
office here today.
Ford disbursements for materials
and supplies in March totalled in
excess of $81,000,000. The former
high was $78,000,000, which was in
April, 1030.
In addition, Ford payrolls during
March totalled $10,500,000, it was
announced.
Before the end of the month, pro
duction of Ford V-8 cars and trucks
in 1935 will pass the half-million
mark, it was stated. Late last year
Henry Ford announced tiuu Ford
production in 1935 would be “a
mi'lion or better.”
Sales of Ford V-8 cars and trucks
through April 10 this year exceeded
total sales in all of 1932. Sales
between January 1 and April 10
totalled 334,437 Ford ears and
trucks. This compared with total
sales of 328,607 cars and trucks in
all the year 1932.
sary to have a processing tax or
some similar means bf securing for
the farmer an off-set to the tariff.
The processing tax is collected in
ternally within the cotton industry
and is of a reasonable amount since
it only amounts to the difference
between the actual price of cotton
and fair price. It is not collected
on cotton exported. This means
that the effect of the tax is not
too burdensome to the consume:
yet means much to the grower.'
The textile manufacturer demands
a tariff to protect his industry
against the low priced labor of for
. ign countries not seeming to real
ize that the farmer must sell cotton
in competition with the same type
of labor and at the same time buy
on a tariff-protected market. Th:
farmer demands only that he be
p'aeed and kept on the same level
and receive the same consideration
as the manufacturer.
