This is our last issue for the year, our next number King the first for 1027. Next year promises great things for Douglas and Coffee county. The Enterprise wants to he a factor in helping make it so, and we want to assure the people of Douglas and Cof fee county that wo stand ready at all times, as wu have in the past, to work untiringly for the best interests of this community. We want to serve and expect to (be found in ho ranks of boosters for this section until the time comes when we shall submit to the inevitable. How to meet the cotton situation and make a prifit in 1927 will be told to farmers of the southeast in a radio fai m short course, to Ibe broadcast from station WiSB, Atlanta, January 3 to 14. It is expected that by the en rollment of large numbers of farmers the safe and sound information to be put on the air will be of great benefit to farming operations for the next crop year. NOT VET TIME. In time the farmers of Georgia and the South generally will live more at home than they do now, produce more of the the things needed for the home and the farm than they have been pro ducing and will be almost if not quite independent of cotton, but that time has not yet arrived, according to of ficials of the Georgia Department of Agriculture. “The experience of this year has started many of (them on the road to greater economic, independence and the example they will set will cause others to follow it,” says a statement of the department. Farmers m the South douibless realize now the mis take of putting too much dependence i cotton, the officials state. ************* DR. 11. H.

In tw’enty minutes I was better. In a very short time—peace fully asleep.’’ The reason that Sloan’s gets these remarkable results is that it doesn’t just deaden the nerves. It stirs up your owti curative forces to throw' off the conditions that are causing the trouble. Pat it on lightly—no need to rub. It’s the medicine that does the work. Immediately you feel a warm, com fortable glow as fresh, healing blood begins circulating through the affected spot. Tense, contracted muscles re lax, congestion is broken up, the pain stops.

Dear Sir: We quote from Commercial Fertilizer, Octobef, 1926: “It is on old story that the man who sells cheap is sellii,? cheap goods and the man who.sells at a higher price is selling better quality. j It is pretty well known among dealers and farmers that [there are many things that go into the making of fertilizers, some better than others, some theaper than others. It is also well known that farmers are becoming mere discriminating as to the analysis and qual ity of fertilizers. They are no longer buying tonnage, nor analyses; they are buying plant food and are judging the quality by the ingredients.” There is a great deal of difference in fertilizers of the same analysis and a great deal of difference in the cost of making fertilizers of the saute analysis. We have had many farmers tell us that they hjive found cheaply made fertilizers dear, even as a gift. The time will soon be here for farmers intending to plant tobacco to get their plant beds ready. We take this opportunity of calling the attention of everyone who expects to plant tobacco to a few important facts in this connection. The first is seed. Seed cost very little and should be bought from reliable seedmen in Virginia or from some one representing these reliable seedmen, who make the growing of thor oughbred seed their entire business, and who practice every known scientific method of safe guarding a"d insuring the quality of the seed sold by them and who sell seed that will not in themselves transmit disease to the soil and then to the new crop of tobacco. It is usually foolish for the farmer to try to raise his own seed, because, in the first place, it will cost him more to raise them than it will to buy them, and, in the second place, very few farmers understand the science of saving seed in such a way as to perpetuate the particular type of tobacco desired. If impure, mixed seed are planted, the crop will be a failure. Another fact of major importance is the soil in which the tobacco will be planted. It is a risky business to follow tobacco with tobacco and it is certain failure to plant tobacco in any soil affected with root-knot. Tobacco grows well after cotton, oats and corn. A third fact we wish to stress is the importance of using the best possible fertilizer for tobacco. We have made a special study of this for the past seven years and we believe we have perfected the best fertilizer for tobacco that has been put out. We claim unhesitatingly that there is no other tobacco fertilizer to equal ours. The potash content is different and am monia content is different. These fertilizers are very expensive to make, hut we have nevt|| known of a crop failure. We are quite sure that the best crop of tobacco grown in Georgia iiv 1926 was made from our fertilizers! We wish to call especial attention to the fact that four times out of five, or even nine times out of ten, the earlier tobacco does the best. Get an early stand, no matter how much watering may be required. A small acreage in tobacco which is given constant and intelligent attention will bring more money than a larger acreage poorly looked after. We are interested in tobacco because we believe it is a great crop for this country, but no farmer should depend upon any one money crop. Tobacco, cotton (low grade cotton also never pays and therefore no more cotton should be planted than can be harvested before it damages in the field), sweet potatoes, sugar cane, peanuts and other crops, in addition to crops intended primarily for home consumption, should be planted as money crops. If one or more fail there will be others to fall back upon. Ail of our fertilizers are made exactly in the same way that we make our tobacco fer tilizers, with the exception of the potash content. Probably 80 per cent of the fertilizers sold are made from inorganics, and usually from one inorganic fertilizer material. We have never believed this a safe practice, although it is the cheapest way to make fertilizers and meet certain guaranteed analyses. In getting the ammonia for our fertilizers we never use less than four and usually five or more different sorts of ammoniates and all of, these of the highest quality. We use in all of them a percentage of nitrate to give it a quick start, then sulphate of ammonia which begins to feed the plant very soon after the nitrate begins and then we use high grade organics like tank age, vegetable meals such as cotton seed meal, castor bean meal, etc. For certain crops we use sulphate of potash instead of muriate of potash. Sulphate of potash is best for certain crops and not so good for others. It Is good whenever a low chlorine content is desirable and not good where a high chlorine content is desirable. For certain crops we use, in addition, blood, fish and other materials that are especially indicated. We have been in the business of manufacturing fertilizers for more than thirty years and there been no change of management during this time. The experience we have gain ed has naturally been valuable. All told, for our Florida and Georgia trade we put out more than a hundred and fifty different formulas, cantaining almost every know material and an alysis. We believe you will make no mistake in buying The lilackshear Manufacturing Com pany’s better fertilizers even though they cost considerably more than other fertilizers on the market. J. M. Clark, Blackshear, on 6 acres using our fertilizers produced 10,562 pounds of to bacco, which sold for $4,340.45, which was an average of $41.41 per 100 pounds and an aver age of 1760.2 pounds per acre. For the last two years our production of fertilizers has been contracted for by the middle of February. All of our tobacco fertilizers require double mixing which is tedious and expensive. Many of our customers during the past two years have ordered late and in some cases we could not make shipment within the time desired. In order to be assured of fertili zers when needed we earnestly request early buying. It will be a great advantage to get in a liberal percentage of orders in December and .January. During the last twelve mentis we have completly modernized our fertilizer plant. It has all been electrified and we have hjr.d installed in our two large fertilizer buildings three new and modern mixing and sacking niachines. each capable of turning out 250 tons in 10 1 hours. 4 J A.
