Statement made by J. 0. Prldmore, dl*
sector of the Southern Division, Na
tlonal Fertilizer
Jg—l| ta. a two-weeks'
1 course conducted
J, C. Prldmore. ™tlon prevailing
over the south*
***tern states, It is absolutely essen
tial for cotton growers In this terri
tory to avail themselves of every pos
glbla means of reducing the cost of
crowing cotton," said Mr. Prldmore.
"Let me give you a picture of the ex
pansion of cotton acreage west of the
Mississippi river, where we now have
approximately as much land devoted to
cotton as the whole belt had five years
ago. Not only is this true, but in
that section It Is possible for the
fanners, through the use of machln*
ary, to cultivate large areas and,
thereby, make cheaper cotton than Is
possible In the southeastern states.
To meet this situation and to grow
cotton In competition with the farmers
west of the river it Is apparent that
the southeastern growers must use
•▼ary possible means of making big
fields per acre, which Is the way to
produce cotton at a low cost per
pound. We not only must practice
those methods known to influence
yields, but fertilize more wisely than
•ear before. We must feed the cotton
plants liberally to get a profitable har
vest The fertilizer must contain those
plant foods that will meet soil deflclen*
cles and supply crop requirements and
furnish the three elements —phosphoric
add, nitrogen and potasli—ln propor
tions to constitute a balanced ration."

the southeastern cotton funner? 2.
What are the outstanding defects Id
the one-crop system of farming? 3.
What is a sound live stock -program
for the averuge cotton farmer? 4
What other cash crops than cotton
can be grown successfully •In the
southeast? What in your community
and why? 5. What are the ndvan
tapes of hlgh-acre yields? 6. Why are
legumes and other organic matter va!

Georgia Experiment Station
Cooperates With Seara-
Roebuck Agricultural
Program.
Another big cotton crop in 1927
doubtless will depress the market
again ns It did In 1020 and cause cot
ton growing to be decidedly unprofit
able, according to H. P. Stuckey, dl
rector of the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion. This forecast was made by Mr.
Stuckey In a lecture for the Radio
Short Course over WSB, Atlanta, and
which was conducted by the Sears-Roe
buck Agricultural Foundation In co
operation with the Soil Improvement
Committee of the National Fertilizer
Association.
"As a result of this situation,” said
Mr. Stuckey to his radio-farmer stu
den ts, “cotton
jhku growers are very
properly casting
about for other
, ;J| cash crops to sup-
KL" -fjfcl plement their In
(T &W comes from cot

SIL A, wB gumluous crops
Oph /Jj* | . such as soy beans.
cowpeas, etc.
H. P. Stuckey. Southern hay,
properly cured
and baled, will find a ready mar
ket Id competition with hay shipped
In from other regions. Soy beans,
velvet beans and cowpeas are
splendid grain, as well as hay
crops, and may be sold for seed
purposes, as well as used for stock
feed. Cowpeas also are In good
demand for human food In practically
all southern markets. These may be
grown at a profit.
"The demand for peanuts for con
fectioneries and oil production Is In
creasing annually, and a part of our
cotton lands could be devoted to this
crop at a profit Any surplus of pea
nuts not finding a ready cash market,
easily could be converted Into pork
by feeding them to swine. The more
fertile soils of the coastal plains are
well adapted to sugar cane for the pro
duction of sirup. This finds a ready
sale in the south and east. Sorghum Ib
valuable both for sirup making and
stock feed. There are two distinct mar
kets for sweet potatoes. The Jersey va
riety Is especially adapted to harvest
ing In late summer and shipped
promptly to northern and eastern mar
kets. There Is room for considerable
expansion In the growing of early va
rieties of sweet potatoes for shipment
northward, while the moist varieties
are more In demand In the south
These can be cured in storage houses
and sold during the winter as the
market demands.
"Some of the profitable crops of the
coastal regions are spinach, kale and
lettuce, to be shipped north In win
ter. Farms located near Industrial
plants and manufacturing centers will
find It profitable to grow limited areas
of turnips, mustard and collards. This
year should offer encouragement to
the producer, for many industries are
being developed In the southeast, and
this means a larger consuming public
and better markets for agricultural
commodities."
Says Don't Depend
on a Single Crop
“ \/i AKE yoar plans each year 6,0
Avl y ou will be safe, if It turns
out to be one of the worst years."
Thlsuwas the advice given by-W C.
Lassetter In a talk on "Food and Feed
Crops for »the Southeast” diming the
Radio Short Course, conducted by the
Sears-Roebuck Ajp-lcultsirat Founda
tion over WSB, Atlanta.
Mr. Lassetter told his farmer-stu
dents not to embrace cotton as their
sole means of support, in view of
what happened In 1914, 1920, 1921 and
1920, he said tha't no man could doubt
the wisdom or economy of that farm
practice which Insures a constant pre
paredneps for seasons like the one
just past. It Is no wonder, he as
serted, that* na'ny a farmer feels th.*
necessity of putting just a little
greater proportion of hts land into
cash crops, with the hope of making
a little money. One fanner who had
bujtng most of his feed told Mr.
Lassetter that he was going to change,
but wanted a gnide to determine how
much he should grow. Mr. Lassetter's
answer to httn was this:
"For each mule working 200 days a
year you will need 50 to 65 bushels >f
corn or Its equivalent in oats. For
each „four ; gnllon cow you will need
2V4 tons of legume hay. 25 bushels -if
corn, 40 bushels of oats, 700 pounds
of cottonseed meal and one to two
. acres of pasture. For each hog you
grow,,to 200 pounds you should have
* 18 bushels of com or about 1-l'tyjshets
"1 with pasture. Each sow and two lit
ters need 125 bushels of corn. 50
pounds of tankage and 50,pounds of
shirts, and In figuring out the acreage
required for the several crops -men
tioned make it a rule to plant for a
bad year.*'

of Vidalia at heart are very earnest
ly urged to be present.
While all possible opportunity for
surrender to a ndconfession of Christ
will be afforded in the warehouse
meetings, there will be no “opening
of the doors of the church” for ad
mission of applicants there, but each
church in the community will give
sue hoportunity to come into church
membership the following Sunday aft
er after any public warehouse con
fession. Thus all the churches will
be on the sam ebasis and maintain
theeir integrity in receiving members,
while the evangelist will have fullest
liberty at the warehouse meetings of
urging the unsaved and the unchurch
ed to come to Christ and go into the
church of their own choice. No
church has anything to lose, but rath
er everything to gain by this method
of proceedure.

MISS AMORET CONNER
LEADING IN RACE
paign and when the race is over it
will merely be a “survival of the fit
test” that will take down the big
prizes. There will be no losers in
this campaign. Each will be measur
ed by the work performed and their
rewards will be handed ove rto them.
Contestants should put every ounce
of energy behind their efforts from
now until the end of the campaign.
The closing date is approaching—it
will be here before you know it.
Up to now the race has seemingly
been slow and groggy. The club
manager has felt that things were not
moving as they should and he has
been “down in the mouth” so to
speak, but, now he can tell th eworld
that there is a real race on between
real rivals for the beautiful $750.00
Chevrolet Coach.
At the outset of the campaign,
many people who seemed to know the
temperament of Toombs county peo
ple told us to be patient that with
. the progress of the campaign the peo
! here would step into the breach and
the result would be one of the “fast
est stepping races” that we had pull
ed off in a lond time. But with the
limited amount of interest that was
seemingly evident and the workers
, puffing and blowing, telling us how
hard it was to get people interested,
■we were really downhearted and
.doubted the wisdom of the sug-gest
j ions that had been made to us. But
!we can tell the world that it is a
sure enough race on, one of the
swiftest, fastest going races that we
have tied up with in a long time.
Advice to Candidate*
Don’t lag behind, it reflects against
your personality and general worth as
a person worthwhile. Get on the
band wagon and toot your horn, so
I that the good folks of your neighbor
hood will know that you are really
working to win the Chevrolet Coach
and they will get behind you and help.
I Your neighbors will be no more in
terested in your welfare in this cam
-1 paign than you are yourself. If you
don’t show them what you are work- |
nng for they will never take in special
interest in your candidacy. Now is
, the time to show what you are made
of. You can easily win the support
of your friends by demonstrating that
you are a person that is willing to
. work and work hard on any under
taking that you put your personality
behind.
■ Never again will such a wonderful
opportunity be presented to many of
our workers. $250 a week ean be
earned from now until the end of the
campaign. This is almost an unbe
lievable statement, but it is a fact.
We are hopeful that the people of
Toombs and adjoining counties will
take out sufficient subscriptions so
that alj connected with our campaign
will have no regrets. The Advance
is entitled to your hearty and liberal
support. We are demonstrating that
Toombs county can be stirred up and
what might have seemed an impossible
undertaking can be brought to a suc
cessful conclusion.
The success of the campaign is in
, the hands of the contestants and the
' people. If both do their part The
Advance shall have no room for com
plaint.
I Race Growing Hot
; Any doubt at to the closeness of
the race has been removed. Also it
has been proven that there is a hus
tling bunch of go-getters in Toombs
! county, who do not stand on iormali
, ties, but pitch right into the fray and
what is coming to them. The race
j thus far l\ a » been a remaakably close
•one, so it depends entirely upon re
sults obtained between now and Sat
urday night—THE EAST OF THE
j BIG VOTES—•as to who will finish
victorious.
I More general action has taken place
fn-. the past week than at any time
since the campaign began.
Community Pride Manifest
• Shedding lustne on this irfcpiring
sight is the oivic pride that is mani

values its reputatioh for “doing
things” ks not going to allow some
one to walk away with she valuables
prize when a little concentrated ef
fort will bring it home.

' .that the cfifference in value between
