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 j em^ ns^ra^e 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.
