SELL YOUR SEED,
BUY FERTILIZER
So Advises Soil Expert,
Showing Why It Will
Pay
ATLANTA, Feb. 3. lt would
be a mistake to use cotton seed as
fertilizer, as some farmers are taik
ing of doing, acording to J- NJ
Harper, several years in experimen.
station work in the South and now
director of the Soil Improvement
committee. Continuing he says: ;
“It would be a mistake for two
reasons: First, the South would bej
deprived of a great wealth producing
substance —cottonseed oil; and sec |
on, cotton seed are not the best form
of fertilizer to apply.
“On the first point, while it is un
fortunate that the vegetable oil mar
ket is off and the oil miller cannot
offer what the seed are really worth,
it is better to accept what the miller,
can afford to give than to allow the
oil to be destroyed when it is need-;
ed so much, especially in starving,
Europe. .... !
“To use cotton seed as a fertilizer,
is to throw away the oil of the seed,
for oil is not plant food: in fact, it
is believed that it will retard plant
growth. . . ,
“Cotton seed contain plant toon,
but when the seed are applied, it is
not possible to scatter it so as to feed
the crop properly. It puts the plant
food on the land in lumps as repre
sented by the seed.
“It takes the seed a long time to
decay and become plant food. In
fact, no great amount of the plant
food in cotton is ever actually used
by the crop. As evidence of this,
we cite Farmers’ Bulletin 286 of the
United States Department of Agri
culture, page 8, from which we
quote: “The seeds are incased in
hulls which must decay before the
crop can utilize the plant food in,
them, and the kernels contain oil
which is supposed to retard their de
composition, so that considerable
moisture is required to decompose
the seed and make available the plant
food. In case of a very dry season,
it does not become available fast
enough to supply the crop, and no
doubt a portion of it fai’s to become
available after the crop matures.’
“A table on page 9 of this bulle
tin shows that a difference of 303
pounds of seed cotton per acre in
favor of cotton seed meal as com
pared with cotton seed, was obtain
ed in a test where twice as much
cot'on seed was used as meal.

tion tests and tests of four other
Southern stations show that a pound
of a well balanced mixed fertilizer
will produce a pound and more of
seed cotton. A test in Alabama
shows that it took three pounds of
cotton seed to produce a pound of
seed cotton.
“In other words, at present prices
of cotton seed and complete fertiliz
ers, there is no doubt that it will
pay to sell the seed and buy fertiliz
ers.
“In exchanging cotton seed foi
cottonseed meal, it will be well to
remember that if the plant food is
to be taken into consideration, that
a ton of meal contains three times
more phosporic acid than a ton of
seed; two and one-half times more
nitrogen and one and one-half times
more potash than the seed contain.”

Grape Industry Not
Dead, Growers Say
1 CLEVELAND, Feb. 3. —That pro
. hibition did not ring the curtain down
on the grape industry was th; opin
! ion of delegates attending the re
cent convention of the National
Grape Growers congress here.
“Though w elost the sour wine
trade,” L. G. Young, grower of Erie
county, Pa., declared, “there has
been an insistent demand for grapes
for the making of home-made wine
by the foreign elements, who are
wine drinkers that the price is grapes
is higher than ever before.”
Last season grape prices reached
top mark about S2OO a ton, it was
said. In 1919 they were SBO a ton
and in 1914 about $35 a ton.
W. O. Johnson of Geneva, O ,
president of the organization, said
the shortage of cars last season caus
ed great loss to the growers, be
cause large quantities of fresh fruit
were allowed to spoil, due to inabil
ity to ship.
There were 5287 fewer total ar
rests during 1920 in Boston than
for drunkenness alone in 1919.

I DOES ACCURACY I
PAY A PROFIT?
Ask the officials of almost any successful business
house —manufacturing, wholesaling or retailing —that
question and the answer invariably will be “YES.”
And thousands of successful business concerns, gm
including many right here in this vicinity, are using
Burroughs Bookkeeping Machines to help them maintain
that high standard of accuracy which is so essential to
business success.
Machine bookkeeping does away with the old story of
late trial balances, late statements and the end-of-the-month
Igl hunt for errors —difficulties that nearly always go hand in
hand with pen-and-ink bookkeeping.
I Errors Always Mean a Loss j1
Loss of time, late statements, irritation of bookkeepers
—these mean reduced efficiency and usually money loss.
But when Burroughs Bookkeeping Machines are post
ing the ledgers, making the statements, and doing all the I I
other figure jobs of the office, these costly items are elimi
nated. The Burroughs keeps posting up to the minute,
the books are proved daily, balances are always extended
on all accounts, trial balances are easy, and statements are
in the mail promptly. I I
* Burroughs Machines mean speed and simplicity in
bookkeeping, but even more important, they insure abso- I I
lute accuracy.
When the Burroughs man calls, take some of his tithe. He
knows accounting and can show you how easily other
concerns, perhaps in your own line of business, changed
from pen-and-ink to Burroughs Bookkeeping. The service \_
he can give you may save time and money.
