Raleigh, Dec. 10.?When the price of cotton is below the cost of pro. duclng it, either the coat of produc tion must be lowered or farmers should stop growing the crop. "We are apt to pa? little attention to the cost of production, when cot ton is bringing a good price," says P. H. Kim a, plant breeder at State Ootlege. "So long as we are mahlng a fair profit, we do not seem to care about .these costs. Now that cotton la actually bringing less than it coat us to grow It, howerer. the cost ot production must be lowered or we should stop growing the crop. We can reduce the cost per pound by growing more pounds per acre. A good plan to follow will be to reduce the acreage and make more cotton on the land which we de-rot* to its cult! ration." One good way to produce more cot ton per acre Is to us* good seed ot standard rarletles, states Mr. Klme. In testa made with twelve dlgerenv varieties of cotton during the past season, the yields ran all the way from til pounds of lint per acre to UC pounds of lint per acre. The length of staple varied with the va It cost as mfueh to produce 411 pounds of lint from th* King variety which has 0 staple of seven-eighths of an inch as It did to produce HI pounds from the Cleveland variety which has a staple of one and five sixteenths Inches. Th* only tilth ?ace was in th* cost of picking, gup pas*, states Mr. Klme. that it cost 11 cents per pound to produce UC pound* j of lint per acre from th* Cleveland variety. This is a coot of fiM.M per acre .Dividing this by MS pounds, we get 1M cents which is th* coat of a pound of Hat from King Oood seed, states Mr. Kim*, can he secured at a cost of about ll.M par acre above the oos t of ordinary seed. Fourteen pounds of lint cotton at U coats per pound will pay this addition hi cost Cleveland cotton yielded 10 pounds of lint more than King. This 70 pounds at 11 cents is IT.TO or a 4W per cent return on the laves* & Clans Is andera, all right. airplanes had radio*, bat he ra te diet.
