Cotton Growing Now Calls for

J. N. HARPER, Director,
Soil Improvement Committee,
Southern Fertilizer Association.
As we sow so shall we reap. If we
are to plant cotton that will bring the
biggest returns at. harvest time, then
we must plant cotton that has the in
berited’ability to produce an abundance
of quality lint.
No matter how much one may fer
tilize and cultivate, if the cotton is in¬
ferior the yield will be limited and the
quality inferior. But it one plants seed
that have been selected for high yield
ing superior lint, then the fertilizer and
the cultivation will have a full chance
to bring results.
Under boll weevil conditions, the
yield per acre is aD important consid
eration. Added expense incident tc
fighting the boll weevil, can be met only
with greater yields per acre. This is
to be attained in every possible way.
but principally by liberal fertilization
and good seed.
But do not make the mistake of over¬
looking length of lint while attempting
to get greater yields per acre. North
Georgia has suffered from this over
sight. It is not only the yield, but the
length of lint that determines the re
turns from the cotton crop. A big yield
of short lint per acre may not return
as much as a smaller yield of a longer
lint. What you, as a farmer, want is
the most money you can get from each
acre you plant.
Don’t hesitate another day to get good
planting seed. Order standard incl
to an inch and sixteenth staple cotton
seed from reliable sources.
In the interest of better paying lint
and in order to restore North Geor
gia’s lost ground as a producer of inch
to an inch and sixteenth staple, ths
Atlanta Commercial Exchange is offer
ing, without cost for its service, to sup¬
ply or put farmers in touch with other
farmers or other sources of desirable
planting seed.
It will be a splendid money making
proposition for farmers to get together
in a community and grow only one va
riety of desirable cotton. It means
pure seed which can be sold for plant
ing purposes at high prices. There is
a market for unmixed, pure seed of va
rieties yielding an inch to an inch and
sixteenth staple, that will take a good
deal of seed in North Georgia for the
next few years.
City and country bankers are helping
this movement for better cotton in
North Georgia. They are assisting in
organizing community groups of farm
ers to order good seed. See your bank¬
er and co-operate with him in this un
dertaking.
Your county agent or the specialists
of the College of Agriculture are ready
to assist in this movement. The col
lege has launched communities into
growing pure seed and is anxious tc
assist the Atlanta Commercial Ex
change, bankers, leading farmer* and
others who realize the importance oi
this movement, to bring about a better
condition throughout North Georgia.
Attention is called to a recent bulletin
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture regarding the su
perior character and staple of ACALA
Cotton, which is of the old North Geor¬
gia type, for which the mills are pay¬
ing a premium.
It is understood the Atlanta Commer¬
cial Exchange has a limited supply of
pedigreed seed of three varieties—
Acala. Cleveland, College No. 1—which
have been approved by the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the State College of Agriculture, which
will be sold to farmers at cost upon
application.
It Is learned that many communities
have already taken hold and ordered
shipments of good seed. Why not your
community? At least, why not you
place an order at once?
“LIVE-AT-HOME”
CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA
Atlanta, Ga., March 21.—There is a
big field for the preaching of another
“Live-at-home” campaign in Georgia,
according to leading farmers who have
discussed the subject here. Georgia
agriculture, it is pointed out, is a gigan¬
tic business enterprise in land, build¬
ings, implements, livestock, this indus¬
try represents an investment of millions
of dollars; the state's many thousands
of farm workers produce farm wealth
worth many millions, but millions of
this wealth goes out of the state every
year for food and feed.
“When our farmers live-at-home and
sell their crops efficiently through well
developed ccHotferative organizations,
banking a fair share of the sales re¬
ceipts, there is no legitimate reason
why we should not be far in advance
as an agricultural state.” said J. J.
Brown. Georgia’s commissioner of ag¬
riculture.

PRACTICAL TEST
WITH FIORIDA AND
TENNESSEE CATT1 ,E
When handled and fed under exactly
same condition how will Florida
cattle compare, when finished,
Tennessee cattle? What is the
in actual profit? This prob¬
was worked out from a practical
in 1919 by C. C. Pittman, a
feeder of Thomasville, Georgia.
representative of the United States
of Agriculture recently ob¬
the following details of the test:
Mr. Pittman brought to Thomasville
carloads, containing 103 head, of
range cattle from Arcadia,
At the same time he bought 3
containing SI head, of Ten¬
grade Shorthorns, of one-half to
Shorthorn blood. He fed
cattle at Thomasville, on cotton¬
meal and velvet beans. Bmh lots
handled under the same conditions
fed the same feed. When finished
sold the cattle at Baltimore and
Orleans. The 5 carloads of Florida
netted him exactly $6!) for the
105 head. One carload of the
best Tennefsee steers containing 23
head netted him $980. He made more
than $1,800 profit on the three carloads
Tennessee cattle.
J. F. Pittman, brother of the man
who fed these cattle, showed the gov¬
ernment representative the record of
this feeding experiment and the en¬
tries of the sales on his books. In com¬
menting further on the experiment Mr.
Pittman said: "The funny part of it
was that the Florida steers fooled
all. Trey seemed to be doing almost
well on their feed as the
steers, and looked fairly good to
when we bought them. But
wouldn’t take on flesh well and
ed out poorly, because they had
stunted in their early development
cattle ticks.’’
CENTRAL OF GEORGIA COMPARES RAILWAY
EARNINGS WITH OTHER INDUSTRIES
The rate of return earned by the railways is in striking contrast to the ’
much higher rate earned by other industries.
The rate earned on Class 1 railways in the Southern Region follows:
1920 0.85 per cent
1921 2.07 per cent
(The so-called Class 1 railways comprise all the lines except the short
roads earning less than $1,000,000 gross per annum.)
The rate earned by the Class 1 roads prior to government control was
as follows:
1914 4.08 per cent
1915 3.31 per cent
1916 5.70 per cent
The Government control period is omitted because while operations
were generally unprofitable, on account of increased wages and cost of ma¬
terial and supplies, largely beyond increases in rates, the railroads were
allowed the same profits they had made during the three years prior to

Here are the figures showing the return on m
specified industries, which are taken from the reports of the Federal Trade
Commission: 1919 1918 Average

Grain Jobbers 27.3 19.9 23.6 per cent

Mfgs of Shoes 16.2 23.0 per cent
(Where blanks appear information was not available.)
From 1914 to 1918, inclusive, the average rate of return on various
other industries was as follows:
Five large oil companies in California 14.9 per cent
Manufacturers of canned milk 24.7 per cent
Wheat flour mills 23.0 per cent
Five great meat packers 16.2 per cent
Manufacturers of farm implements 10.9 per cent
All industries have good years and bad years; all, except the railways,
are given an opportunity to store up a surplus during prosperous times
to tide them over lean years.. The railways do not criticise the profits oi
other industries, nor do they expect to be permitted during prosperous
times to increase the price of transportation—the only commodity they
have for sale, but they must be afforded an opportunity, through efficient
and economical operation, if they are going to function in the interest oi
the public, to earn and retain a rate of return which will enable them to
obtain funds to provide for large annual expenditures to meet the increas¬
ing demands of commerce. guaranteed
There is an unfounded impression that the railroads are a
rate of return of 6 per cent on their stocks and bonds. The law provides
that the Interstate Commerce Commission shall say what rate of retiu'fi
they may earn on the value of property devoted to transportation and n*
rates accordingly, yet the railways have never even approximated the rat?
fixed and have had to pocket their losses. They have not earned as much
as the Government guaranteed on all but the first issue of Liberty Bonds
or on recent issues of Treasury Certificates. These securities are all mow
attractive to the average investor than the best class of railroad bonds
carrying materially higher rates of interest. This situation is of interest
and importance to the public, because transportation is an essential tactm
of business, illusti
