PORTER FERTILIZER
WORKS -
Atlanta, Georgia \ j
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
ner 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.

indicates anew faith that they have
in their calling, the business of farm
ing. I have never seen so great a
faith among farmers any where, than
those folks have in their ability to pro
duce a profitable cotton crop, and do
it with the weevils here. They know
they are going about it the right way,
and they know how it is done, and
that they have the knowledge and
ability to do it. This faith and ability
and careful planning is a very valu
able asset to ibis county. Heavier fer
tilization and reduced acreage is a
common thing in these thoughtful
farmers’ plans. ..
It is certainly a great pleasure to
work with and for and among these
farmers, when they have such faith,
and so much business in their work.
“They’re a mighty fine bunch of fel
lows” and 1 like them every one. A
county agent that could not stand by
such f> Hows as these should, not be
a county agent.
Crops Other Thau Cotton
Now you farmers are showing that
you have good business ability in cot
ton production, and I want to urge
you to use correspondingly good busi
ness ability in some other essentials
of your farming business. 1 have talk
ed with a lot of you about your plans
for feed and food crops, and I want to
remind you that, as a whole, feed
and food crops deserve more attention
than they are apparently about to re
ceive this year. Now, these crops are
very important and are a necessity on
the farm. You know that successful
cotton production requires careful at
tention and a good chance. The same
is true of corn and hay an da gar
den. Every farmer should provide for
these things, and he cannot say he
is doing balanced farming, until this
end is also brought up with the cot
ton production end of this farming
business. If we do these things we
can live better and will not have to
spend so much of uor cotton money
for these things. We can produce
them cheaper than we can buy them if
we use good judgment in their pro
duction. Let’s give every thing we
produce a good chance, and we will be
better off all around and enjoy farm
ing a lot better.
Corn Production
If you prepare your land well and
and put a hundred pounds of acid
THE ROCKDALE RECORD. CONYERS. GEORGIA
phosphate under it, and cultivate it
well and top dress with a hundred
pounds of nitrate of soda or sulphate
of ammonia per acre, you should make
corn at a less cost per bushel than
you can otherwise without giving it
this chance. Let’s try to make enough
corn to do us this year.
Cheaper and Quicker Huy
Sudan grass sown by the middle of
April can be cut for hay in June, and
every three weeks thereafter through
the summer, on good land. To make
the most hay it should have an appli
cation of 50 pounds of soda after each
cutting. An acre will make enough
hay to feed a mule a whole year, if
you give it a good chance. Many farm
ers will need this hay to make a crop
on this year. We can get the seed
for you. They will cost about tk- a
pound delivered. 50 pounds per acre
is about right. This is a good substi
tute for pea hay, when peas are selling
for four dollars a bushel. Come in
and see us about this Saturday and
let’s make some hay.
Seed Treatment
All sweet potatoes should be treat
ed with mercury or formaldehyde be
fore being bedded. This will keep
down the brown rot that>causes sweet
potatoes to rot so badly. Irish pota
toes should be treated with the same
stuff before being planted. This will
keep down the scab. Seed corn should
he treated with this disinfectant be
fore being planted, to help you make
more* sound corn. There is no use
producing deceased stuff when you
can stop the disease by treating the
seeds before we plant them. Fifty
cents to a dollar will buy all this dis
infectant you will need for all these
things, and look how much you save.
You can get this at the drug store.
They will furnish direction for using
it. It will pay you to do this.
Have You Noticed That?
The depot garden is looking mighty
fine, and how big the vetch and Aus
trian peas, and crimson clover are
getting in it.
The Bank of Rockdale has been do
ing some attractive work in planting
attractive shrubbery along side the
building. This look good.
Mr. J. W. Hollingsworth has sown
his lawn to grass, and you might help
your yard with some fine yard grass
or lawn mixture and some flowers
and shrubbery, and make a more at
tractive place in which to live.
The alfalfa sown last fall by Mr.
11. C. Moon, Mr. M. 1- Wood, Mr. ,1.
I>. Humphries. Mr. S. 11. Mitcham.
Mr. S. F. Bohannon, looks mighty
pretty now, and Mr. 11. (’. Cowan,
Mr. A. F. Walker and Mr. Tom Parker
has sown alfalfa this spring. And
have you planned to sow some too?
Alfalfa is our best hay crop and there
is a place for it on every farm in this
county. Let’s sow more of it.
Yours for progress,
ERNEST I). HOLMES, County Agent.

so mustache. We recall how we

rooster. Mighty fine felling, even to

to have this splendid family become
citizens and trust they will lie happy
