V! 1 MAKE CHEAPER COTTON The Main Need el the Firmer Instead el Lees) To Discuss Fertiliser at Night School Next Toesday Night At Franklin tea (By C. R. Bohanan, Teacher Vocation al Agriculture Frankllnton Public School.) The second meeting of the Agrlcul tural night school was held In the community room at the school build ing Tuesday night, Ja&nuary 5. Bad weather prevented a large attendance. The topic (or discussion at that meeting was "The place cotton holds In our system of (arming." We are hearing and reading a great deal at the present about cutting our cotton crop. This might be a wise thing, but in all probability It would not, unless there could-be a money crop to take its place. What we need most of all la cheaper cotton. If we can produce the same amount at a cheaper cost the low prices will not hurt so bad. Tor the next three weeks I expect to take up the production of cotton and the various problems we are hav ing in making it a paying crop. On Tuesday night of next week, January 12, I want to discuss the fer tilisation of cotton. This Is a problem that la of interest to every cotton grow er. Our soils are not rich enough to grow crops without fertiliser and so it Is a necessary element, bnt how many farmer* know what kind to bny, I do not believe that we are spend ing too much money for fertiliser, but 11 do believe that we are spending too much for the money kind. It is this problem that I want to discuss Tues day night I I would like to urge all who are interested to be present Tuesday night at 7:30.
