Fertilizers Necescary in South

feeding our craps from v - . iu
sources with at load t o of no sev
eral principal elements ent ring into
the composition and development of
plant life. Without fertilize!s much,of
the best producing cotton lands' in the
South would become unproductive and
farming would be unprofitable. In
many states, pxcept in a few locali
ties soil is no more capable of pro
ducing without being fertilized than
stock is capable of performing work
without being fed. Our lands must be
fed just as we feed the stock that
work them or they will become too
poor to even pay the cost and expense
of cultivation.
Transformed Sections
Large sections of land in various
parts of the South Atlantic States, for
ty or fifty years ago, required four
or five acres to produce one bale of
cotton, which now, by intelligent farm
ing, made possible by the use of fer
tilizers, yield one bale to each acre,
or the equivalent, of other crops. Pov
erty stricken sections of one or two
generations ago have been transform
ed into populous and prosperous com
munities. Our ability to rebuild and
make our lands more fertile has en
abled people to live and settle in £iore
desirable communities, and to enjoy
advantages of better markets, schools,
churches and social conditions. Bet
ter rural conditions have made the
“back to the farm” movement not only
a possibility, but a reality.
Prosperity Cue to Fertilizers
Whatever may be the direct benefit,
it is obvious from a study of the sit
uation that the present prosperity and
greater population in South Carolina
is due more largely to the ’ use of
commercial fertilizers than to any oth
er cause, because in South Carolina
fertilizers are absolutely necessary to
profitable agriculture, upon which most
of our business and other industries
depend. Had it not been for the use
of commercial fertilizers South Caro
lina could not be considered an agri
cultural state.
Taking into consideration the cost
of fertilizers, statistics will bear out
the statement that the once worn out
Aim At Above-the-Average
Yields In 1919
(From Progressive Farmer, Dec. 31.)
For the average Southern farmer,
we cannot think of a better resolution
for the New Year than one calling
for better than average yields. Aver
age yields, whatever the crop, mean,
over a period of years, little more
than a living wage. But as the indi
vidual farmer rises above the average,
his net profits, nine times in ten, corre
spondingly rise. The man who raises
cotton must see that our average of
about one-third of a bale per acre can
only mean poverty to the grower; the
man who grows corn and oats at our
average rate of 15 to 20 bushels per
acre must see that there can be no
profit in such yields; our peanut and
tobacco farmers, our dairy and general
livestock farmers must see that so
long as they are content with a mere
ly average yield per acre or per ani
mal, just so long will they find the
farming game unprofitable and unsat
isfactory.
Good land, planted to good seeds
and well fertilized and well tilled is the
key to successful farming; for good
land, plus good seed, fertilization and
tillage, means high yields and good
profits. In the new year, every farm
er should aim at these; and in getting

T l ave he-n dealing with the effect
of e fertilizer indu ry and the uv>o
of f Ttii'zor:’' on agriculture, because,
as I have said, the effects on business
gep rally must r ’-ult from the effect
on agriculture, and it*ls obvious that
they • ravi t he innumerable. The fer
tilizer-business in the South is one
of ’he most import a v iT, and’concerns
our presp rity more directly than any
uj’: r industry, and in its effects no

bn -’ness or'has a greater effect on the
*->• lu Trie A and business generally.
H 'pa Railroads and Manufacturers
*
are inot’i pai ii ukvvly and directly ben
efited by the use of commercial fertll
f»prs ari' the railroads and common
carriers, which fir t bring fertilizers
to the farmers, and in return trans
port the increased products of the
farm to the ends of the earih; and
finally when these products are sold,
for a third time, the. railroads are call
ed upon to bring to the farmer his
upplies of foreign and domestic prod
ucts.
The use of fertilizer has made more
spindles in the South, more oil mills,
more live stock, more people and more
commerce. The tobacco crop and our
trucking industry, requiring intensive
fertilization and plant food, would be
practically unknown to us. Ships bring
raw material from foreign shores in
greater quantities and in return carry
away more cotton and grain.
Cheapens Cost of Producing Crops
The commercial business is affected
in even greater proportion than the
farmer himself, and there is no farm
er in the South who is not benefited
by the judicious use of commercial
fertilizer. Large crops give to the
people a greater supply at a lower cost
of production and at a lowen price
to the consumer, while on the other
hand small crops not only increase the
cost of production, but may increase in
even greater proportion the price to
the consumer. When harvests are
abundant the consumer and producer
alike share in the increased prosper
ity.
Other means of cheapening the cost
of production can be used profitably
only on a very large or on a very
small scale, but fertilizers can be ap
plied with practically the same suc
cess to the smallest as well as the
largest undertaking from the individ
ual plant in the flower pot to the thou
sand acre cotton field.
It was my pleasure some years ago
to know many more manufacturers
and dealers in fertilizers than I know
at present, but I wish to testify to
the high character and intelligence of
those with whom I became associated.
The proper use of commercial fertil
izer by the farmer is obviously of vital
importance to the fertilizer industry
as well as to the farmer, and it is a
matter that should receive thought and
careful consideration at all times by
those who promote the industry.
them, it should be remembered that
rather liberal expenditures are justi
fiable. For instance, when a bale of
cotton with the seed is worth $l5O, our
average per acre yield of one-third of a
bale is worth SSO; but w r hen we in
crease this to two-thirds of a bale,
worth SIOO, we have a gross profit of
SSO with which to pay for the cost of
the increase. Of course the cost of
this increased yield, if the matter be
gone about judiciously, will practically
never be as much as SSO. More often
than not, in fact, it w T ill be $25 or less,
leaving a net profit of $25 or more per
acre. And the same rule will hold with
other crops and livestock as well. The
higher the yield per acre or per animal,
within certain limits, the greater the
net return.
The new year and the years to come
hold great things for the thinking, pro
gressive, business-like farmer. Prices
promise to remain good for a long
time,' and fair profits seem certain for
the man who farms right.
Let us, as our first New Year resolu
tion, aim at putting our farms on a
big-yielding, money - making basis.
There is no surer way for making farm
life more attractive and desirable and
for keeping the boya and girls on the
farms.
