New Practices
Make Old Crop
Pay In Rockdale
Combining the old with the new
is a doubtful practice in some
businesses but a Rockdale County
farmer, V. C. Ellington, has dis
covered away to use this com
bination to his advantage.
Mr. Ellington uses new and
improved production practices
on an old crop, cotton, and finds
that this old crop can still be a
pretty profitable one for him.
Rockdale County Agent Leßoy
Bigham reported that Mr. Elling
ton planted 70 acres of cotton last
year and that through the use of
Improved production practices he
harvested an average yield of 954
pounds of lint per acre. This
yield is equal to two bales of
lint per acre and is more than
double the average yield for
Georgia in 1964.
High fertilization and good in
sect control stand out as the im
pressive practices employed by
Mr. Ellington, the county agent
said. Good fertility with adequate
nitrogen Is necessary to set a
good crop of bolls and timely
Insecticide applications are im
portant in protecting them, Mr.

of nitrogen, 60 pounds of phos
phate and 90 pounds of potash
per acre. He put on 10 applica
tions of insecticide, timed pro
perly, to control boll weevils and
worms.
Mr. Ellington planted certified

Labor Outgains
Farmer in Share
Os Food Dollar
Labor is outgaining the
farmers in the share each
takes from the money the con
sumer spends for food.
Government studies show
that in 1954 consumers spent
$48.4 billion for foods that
originated on American farms.
Os this amount, the farmer re
ceived $18.4 billion and the
labor employed in the process
ing and distributing of these
foods got $14.8 billion.
By 1964, however, when the
food bill rose to $69.8 billion
the farmer got $22.5 billion
and labor $20.8 billion. While
labor received 30 per cent of
the consumer outlay in 1954,
or about the same percentage
as in 1964, the farm share de
clined from 38 per cent in 1954
to 32 per cent in 1964.
The Agriculture department
says corporations engaged in
the processing and selling of
farm-originated foods had
after tax profits of only 2 cents
on each dollar of sales.
