To the Farmer, of Tift County:
In justice to you farmers whom II
am trying to serve as county agrieul-1
torsi agent, I feel called upon at this
time to sound a note of learning that
may be the means of saving you many
hard earned dollars.
There is being sold all over. the.
state, and 'doubtless in this county a
product—raw. ground phosphate rock
—at a price" of about $10 per ton,
f. o. b. the mines or about 612.50 to
$13 per ton- delivered. This is too
high.
As a general proposition. tha farm
er who buys raw ground phosphate
rock, expecting profitable returns this
year will be Mdly disappointed. Only

t I would not advise any fanner in j

ed during the decay of the compos:1

rendering the phosphoric acid avail
able for use the next year. This \
would be a wise thing to do. In any i
case it should be applied so that the
land would receive at least 1,000
pounds to the acre, but 3 to 6^on*
would be better.

farmers against the purchase of so-
