CULTIVATION—
OR MORE FERTILIZATION
The harrowing season for peach
and the fertilization of the
are both close at hand.
More growth means more buds
produces more peaches an-,
returns. There are only twi
of getting new growth or in
yield, and that is by exten¬
cultivation or extensive fertii
ization.
Fertilizer is higher than it ha?
been in the history of the peach
of Fort Valley and there¬
the most expensive method of
increasing the yield. While, on the
hand, a Fordson Tractor, with¬
any question, is rar cheaper ir
extensive cultivation of an or¬
chard than any other power or ma¬
ever offered a grower.
It is your desire to secure the best
results at the least possible cost.
if you will pend one-third
much for Fordson Tractors as you
have to spend for fertilizer to
a normal growth, the results
be the same. adv.

: 3 > arly Maturing
Cotton Seed
Farmers in other sections infested by the BOLL WEEVIL
are making good crops, why not you?
Plant the earliest variety of seed you can find, work your
crop fast and plow often and watch the results.
HOLDINGS EARLY PROLIFIC SUGAR LOAF COT¬
TON has proven by test to be the earliest maturing cotton
grown in the United States.
POINTS TO BEAR IN MIND ©
Holdings early prolific cotton is grown in the famous plant¬ ©
ing seed district of North Carolina, and runs true to type.
It is the only seed out of North Carolina that has been run
through a culling process, which eliminates all the faulty seed
thereby assuring a pertect planting seed, which will all make a
hardy, vigorous plant, naturally increasing your yield. Some
authorities estimate an increase of at least 100 per cent in com¬
parison with the results obtained from planting GIN RUN seed.
It is a small leaf, big boil, five lock, 1 to 1 1-8 staple and
runs full 40 per cent lint.
It will fruit in ninety days from planting, getting in ahead
of the BOLL WEEVIL. /
John H. Quinn, of Sandersville, Ga., made last year over a
bale to the acre, planted on April 3rd, and had picked from two
acres on August 3rd, 637 lbs. lint cotton, and later 580 more by
Sept 1st. You can do the same.
Packed in two and one half bushel bags carrying a certificate
under a Notary seal, certifying that these seed were grown in
and shipped from Wakw County, N. C.
