BARTOW WALKER, T. R. PORTER FERTILIZER WORKS Atlanta, Georgia Grow Cotton <• at a lower cost per pound How to grow cotton at a lower cost per pound is the big problem the Southern Farmer faces today. There is abundant evidence to show how this can be done. THE FAMOUS PORTER FEETILIZERS are adapted to the soils of Rockdale and adjoining Coun ties. A liberal amount of this well balanced fertilizer will produce larger profits from cotton. Farmers’ crop contests, results of experiment station tests, and the experience of thousands of practical farmers clear ly demonstrate that the more liberal use of a well-balanc ed fertilizer will greatly increase acre yields and lower the per pound cost of producing the crop. High yields per acre and low cost of production go hand in hand. PORTERS’ FERTILIZERS have been sold and used suc cessfully in this territory for more than a quarter of a cen tury. A full line of PORTERS’ FERTILIZESS is carried by- McDonald & Still Phone 29 Conyers, Ga. THE ROCKDALE RECORD. CONYERS.

Our Sunday school is still growing in attendance and we are proud of this. Sunday school was followed by preaching starting at 11 o'clock. The pastor’s text was taken from Christ's sermon on the Mount and liis sermon was very interesting. Miss Mary Unmade taught tile Sen ior i’sas and gave us a fine under standing of what stewardship in the truest sense is. It. Y. P. U. was held at 7 o’clock Sunday night with Vice President Adell McCullough in charge. Group two rendered an excellent program on tlie topic, “Winning the i.ost, One by One.” Sunday school will be held at the usual hour, 9:45, next Sunday.

Mann Replies to Attack of County Agent Holmes Upon the Farmers Union Ware house Carried In Last Week’s Record We don’t wish to tax your patience any more than we can possibly help for we are sure vou are well fed up on advice as to what kind of fertilizer to use and how to buy, etc. Hut since the county agent has seen fit to and admited an open attack upon us in last weeks issue of the Rockdale Record which we feel was unfair and unwarranted by saying that we have two farmers and one ex-county agent working to protect our iterest. We have had Mr. Warren employed for the last three years and we have Mr. S. I. Cowan helping us for a short time while the cotton movement is so heavy. The farmers are bringing their cotton to Conyers for a distance of thirty miles in every direction because they can get more money for their cotton in Conyers and handling this cotton lakes practically all my time, however we think as to whom we employ is our business and none of Mr. Holmes’. As for Mr. Townsend, this is untrue. Mr. Townsend has nothing to do with our business in any way what so ever. Mr. Townsend is employed by the N .V. Potash Export Cos. They are advertising a top dresser as was explained in a meeting at the American Theatre with something like tw r o hundred farmers present and it was explained at this meeting that if the farmers wished to use this potash top dresser they had arranged with us to mix it for them if they wanted us to do the mixing. The ugliest spirit shown in the whole article was that his principal motive was seeing that we sustain as much loss as possible. This is more clearlv evidenced in a statement made by Mr. Holmes early in February that he had been reliably informed that the Rank of Kcdcdale owned the Farmers Union Warehouse Cos. and at that time we did not owe either bank one penny. This statement he admitted and is ab solutely false. It seems from the beginning Mr. Holmes’ attitude has been bad toward us. This atti tude we are unable to understand for in my eigh,t years’ service as county commissioner every county agent that has been employed w r as employed upon my motion and the truth of the matter is when Mr. Holmes was first employed he was employed on my motion. Therefore, lam unable to understand his attitude. Now, let’s see if he is saving the farmers eight dollars per ton on their fertilizer. I am informed that the county agent’s price is $16.32 for 16 per cent Acid cash with order, our price is $17.00; his price is $59.16 on sulphate Ammonia, our price is $60.00. We are not informed as to his price on muriate of Potash, but our price is $30.00 per ton for thirty per cent potash. You can buy our material and mix the following formula that will analyze 10 1-2 per cent available Phosphoric Acid, 5 per cent Ammonia and 4 1-2. per cent potash at a cost to you of $27.55 per ton payable May Ist, haul it when it suits your convenience. The formula is as follows: 1300 lbs. 16 per cent Acid, 400 lbs. of sulphate Ammonia, and 300 lbs. of 30 per cent Potash. The difference in commercial value of his 11-5-5 and this formula is SI.OO per ton and it seems that the con venience of hauling it from Hie warehouse when it suits your convenience and paying for it May Ist is easily worth the difference, however we think you will have a much better fertilizer with your ammonia derived from both Sulphate Ammonia, and tankage than with all of the Am monia derived from sulphate Ammonia, but if you wish to do your own mixing w r e can furnish you the above material at the prices mentioned. These prices we submitted to the agent and his com mittee and to the trade generally at their meetin g in February. Our dealing wiih the farmers of this county and adjacent territory has been very pleas ant for twenty years, handling their cotton and selling them their fertilizers. We have an un wavering faith in Rockdale county and her people, and it has been our policy in the past and will be in the future to contribute our part toward the upbuilding of Rockdale county and adjacent territory as weil.
