exactly need a range yet, but if they
ever do need one, it won’t be 110 wood*

30 Bales of Cotton
on 10 njres Land
Wo used to make 10 bales of cotton
per plow on thirty acres of land while
the National Gold Medal prize went
to the man who made 30 bales on 10
acres of land, A bale per acre is the
only salvation and relief for the farm
er. The United States Department of
Agriculture figures the cost of produc
tion on a basis of a bale per acre at
Se per pound, as against* 18c on basis
of the old standard of one hale on
three acres.
The average production last year
over the entire cotton belt was a hale
to every three acres of land, or liSc
per pound for production cost. The
long sought for agricultural relief has
arrived and just as we expected it
would, which is by way of intelligent
farming. Why cultivate three acres j
of land to make one bale that cost!
ISc per pound to make, when you can j
make it on one acre and for Sc perl
pound by using the same fertilizer on I
the one acre that you used to use ou II
tlnee acres. Ihe ten leading farmers |
of Georgia did even belter Ilian ibis
lust year, averaging belter ilmn two
bubs per acre at a production 'ost •>.
4 l-2c per pound. The counties repre
sented in tills group were Carroll,
Madison, Chattooga, Cobb. Walton,
Frank!in. Oconee, Gordon, Crisp and
Jackson. No particular section favor

come from intelligent fanning and not
from "luck” or "legislation.” Rock
dale county had ,”>4 five acre contest
ants to finish, with an average of one
bale and thirty pounds jier acre. New
ton county had 11 contestants who
made an average of one bale and sixty
one pounds per acre. Mr. 11. (. Loyd
of Newton county, lead in profitable
production with 20 acres and 20 bales,
using 300 pounds of 8-8-5 fertilizer and
75 pounds sulphate ammonia side
dressing—however, lie was not a con
testant. Edd L. Peek led Rockdale
contestants in production with one
bale and 280 pounds per acre, using
000 pounds 12-4-4 and 300 pounds soda
as a side dressing tier acre. Mr. J. O.

Plant a Good Staple
Cotton
We have just received a ear load of the famous Mis
sissippi Pi Delta and Pineland, No, 4 Cotton Seed.
This cotton has been grown in Rockdale and adjoin
ing counties for the past two years and has given
perfect satisfaction from a stand point of produc
tion, lint yield and staple. From 1250 to 1300 pounds
of dry seed cotton you can get 500 pounds of lint.
This cotton won for Rockdale county in the state con
test at the state college of agriculture last year, the
first prize for growing the best staple cotton of any
county in the state.
I his cotton staples inch to 1 1-10 inch and
always brings a higher price than the short
er varieties. Because of its excellent quality
of staple. *
e are very anxious that the farmers grow
a good staple cotton in the territory in which
we buy cotton. This saves us going west to
buy our cotton and thereby enables us to pay
the farmer a higher price for his cotton in
the local market.
I hese seed are put up in 100 pound bags and
are worth $5.50 per bag, which is what these
seed actually cost us in car load lots and can

er, at Conyers, Georgia.
