But you can get Potash right here at home, in fer tilizer which contains as a source of its ammonia { Every pound of Cotton Seed Meal, in addition to supplying from 7% to 7i% of Ammonia, also contains 21% of Phosphoric Acid and an average of 2% of Potash. When your fertilizer contains Cotton Seed Meal, it not only supplies your soil with the desired amount of ammonia, but : also gives to it Potash in the most desirable form and in an | amount larger than can be obtained from any other source of ammonia. In addition it furnishes over 27 of Phosphoric Acid, | another most important and valuable element of plant food, ; which fact is not generally appreciated. I The fact must not be lost sight of that in using Cotton Seed Meal you have a fertilizer which feeds the growing plant grad vally during its entire growth and leaves in the soil a most ; valuable humws with which to sustain succeeding crops. ' A demonstration recently conducted at the State College of Agriculture, extending over two years, proved that the best &roduction per acre was made through the use of cotton Seed Ll eal as a source of ammonia.

G. Hastings, presi dent of the Southeastern Fair Asso ciation and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, in an interview given to the newspapers here urging farmers not to increase their cotton acreage. “Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at planting time in spring,” he says, “is the bait that will lure hundreds of thousands of farmers in the south ‘to each put in a few extra acres, and should nature smile on the crop as in 1914, we-will come nearer a twenty million bale crop than 20 cents per pound, for evidence multiplies daily. that they are ‘planting right up to' the graveyard,’ as it is sometimes ex pressed. ke : *“On the Hastings farm we don’t ex pect to put in an acre more of cotton than we did last year, because we think it a time above all others to play safe. What we will increase to the limit of our ability will be food, grain and forage, beet cattle and hogs. ‘- “The safe way is to first supply all needs of family and stock from one’s own acres, and then put surplug acre age in cotton. With bread and meat in .hand, and -a garden producing steadily through spring, summer and fall; with home canned vegetables and fruits on closet shelves for winter ta ble use; with corn in the crib and hay and fodder in the barn or stack, the farmer can be largely independent of cotton prices in the fall. The farmer g 0 provided for is ncver ‘distressed.’ He can sit on his cotton bales with mind at ease, and sell in his own good time when prices are right. . Pie “With labor comparatively scarce and fertilizer high, any material in crease in cotton acreage must nec essarily be at the expense of food and grain acres that are in reality far more responsible for the south’s pres ent prosperity than is 18 to 20 cent cotton. ' “Memories are short, but wise far mers need only to look back to 1914 and see the disaster due to too much cotton that can’'t be eaten, and the lack of food that one must eat. 1 re peat this year of 1917, is a danger year. Any farmer who increases cot ton acreage and cuts food crop acres is gambling with the cards stacked against him.” ot —— ) —————————— GEORGIA—Jasper County.
