THE ROCKDALE RECORD. CONYERS. GEORGIA
Rockdale County
Agricultural Assn.
There Is nothing new
ami nothing unsafe in
a farmer mixing his f JB
own fertilizers, as ree- } a A
ommemled by the Uo k- \\
dale County Agricultur- §
al Association. The
methods and materials W
have been thoroughly jgjE
tried by all the experi
ment stations that have soils and con
ditions simular to ours and such prac
tices tire endorsed by them all. The
agricultural colleges recommend these
practices. The best farmers every
where are rapidly turning to such
practices.
High grade materials are necessary
for the making of high grade ferti
lizers. The committee purchasing
these materials for the farmers of
Rockdale county are handling only
the best of materials. Several cars
of these materials have been purchas
ed and you are invited to examine
the mas you choose within tlie next
few days. All these materials will be
shipped promptly on notice. All ma
terials so purchased are now in Geor
gia and will arrive in plenty of time
for use. They are all bought from one
of the largest and most reputable fer
tilizer companies in America. Of
course, the plant food analyses are
guaranteed.
Some insist that “all minerals” are
not as good, on wet years, but tests
last year( which surely was a wet
year) showed that “all minerals” was
just as good, where the same amount
of plant foods were used in each. Tests
at the Georgia State College showed up
in favor of the “all minerals.” This
county showed the same. Mr. 1,. A.
Bowen tried the test with top dress
ing and each without top dressing,
and got just as good cotton with all
minerals as where some organic mat
ter was used to supply one half of the
ammonia. The advantages of all min
erals, is that you get the good of your
fertilizers in growth and fruiting,
from these available sources of plant
foods instead of the plants having to
wait until the organic sources are
changed into the same forms that
these minerals are already in.
The facts are that plants cannot use
any kinds of fertilizers until they be
come dissolved in the soil, and then
all are equally subject to leaching.
The idea is to feed cotton plants
food that it can use rapidly and keep
the growth and fruiting rushing on,
when we have boll weevils. This is
the safest way, as most of the cotton
we get is the early summer fruiting,
and not much in the late summer, as
we once did before boll weevils.
It is unfortunate for some private
interests in this county that so many
of the farmers are going to mix their
own and save eight dollars a ton, but
since these interests have some good
men including a couple of farmers
and one ex-county agent working to
protect their private interests among
the farmers of this county, it is sup
posed that they will not lose as much
as they might have otherwise. I am
mentioning this because the farmers
deserve to know why the attitude is
taken by them that is taken. This at
titude is all right in a business way.
However. I think it would he fair for
them to mention the fact that this is
their work and interest when arguing
their salesmanship, as it would save
a misunderstanding on the part of
many of the farmers. I wish they
had done this so I would not have to
tell the farmery myself in this way.
I might say here that I happen to
know of a little test that is in want of
being put on in this county, where sev
eral hundred dollars is offered, as a
guarantee that a dollars worth of home
mixed fertilizer will make more cot
ton that a dollar’s worth of any mix
ed fertilizer commonly sold in the
county, of a similar cost per ton. The
test only requires that a similar
amount guarantees the greater value
of the mixed brand. As yet this guar
antee has not been offered on any
mixed goods, and so the challenge re
mains open for any one wishing to
enter the contest. Top dressing will
he used or none used as the challeng
ed chooses. This would he a very in
teresting and educating contest and
it would compare the relative value
of these fertilizers. This is a good
opportunity to any one who really be
lieves that ready mixed brands are
more profitable to the farmer than
the home mixed fertilizers. The con
test will run as many years as the
