GOT "BUMPED" BY
COTTON AGAIN
SAME OLD STORY OVER AND
OVER IN EVERY COT
TON STATE.
Atlanta, Oa ?(Special.)?"We Inrtt
ed the present unsatisfactory cotton
price situation when we faljed to take
notice of the danger signals flying on
every hand at planting time last
spring." declared H. G. Hastings, wide
ly recognised agricultural authority
and President of the Georgia Associ
ation, a statewide development organ
isation with the avowed purpose of
breaking up the slavery to cotton that
exists so largely In Georgia an^ other
cotton states.
"It looks as If our cotton- farmers
enjoy having the very life "bumped*
out of them ever so often the way they
come back and invite 'bumping' every
period of .high priced cotton. 4t's a
mystery the way they keep coming
back for more piiilahment In the face
of repeated 'bunrps.'f* ' '
Our farm folks, our^country bank
ers! supply merchants' etc.. must all
get It through their heads that the
rulee of the cotton growing game are
changing. One-third to one-half bale
per acre Is a money loser on any price
thatts m sight. Effw yrelds per acre
alwfys means high cost per pound.
There Is one answer, and one an
swer only, to the cotton-growing prob
lem, and that Is less acres in cot
ton and more cotton per acre. As the
yield per acre goes? up, the cost of
making it per pound automatically
comes down. We f can't have much
control over selling price, but we can
keep production costs down.
. Less acres In cotton means more
acres available for food and grain
crops, .cows, bogs and chickens. Cost
of making cotton Is largely a food and
grain cost, food for the family and
food for tlie working lire stock. Corn,
oats, hay and forage for the mules,
horses, cows, hogg and chickens;
meat meal, fresh and canned vegeta
bles and fruits for the family table
are made at half the cost or leas of
what Is paid tor same to merchants
or dealers.
In almost every cotton growing
community there are one or more
farmers "sitting easV" right now. The
secret of their easy posture is that
they own their cotton instead of owe
it for food or grain or borrowed
money. They are not pinched. They
hare corn or other grain In the crib,
hay or forage a-plenty In stack 01
barn, meat either In smokehouse 6t
on hoof, milk and butter from the
cows and plenty of chickens for reg
ular use, as well as when the preacher
comes around. Most of if not all the
year round there are fresh vegetables
from the garden and home-canned
of the-merchant's.

**I have been raising tobacco for die
past thirty years, and during this time I
have uied a great many different brands
of high-grade fertilizer, but for the past
five years have been using your goods ex
clusively under my tobacco, cotton and
corn with highly satisfactory results. Jtr
"My tenants are thoroughly satisfied
with the goods and often speak of the
fine mechanical condition ot your fer
tilizer, which makes distribution more
uniform and easier, and I have no hesl
< tation in recommending your goods to
my farmer friends."

"I have used your 'AA Quality' Fertil
izers for around four years. This year,
on my tobacco crop, I expect to gather
around 1000.pounds per acre. I used
around 1000 pounds. The quality of
this crop is extra good."
Fine-quality leaves which command top
prices require the best tobacco fertilizer
A TOBACCO plant is always
hungry. Its roots are always
reaching for more. It demands
rich plant foods tq, make top
quality leaves. That's why it
takes a complete fertilizer well
balanced to make tobacco fields
produce their best.
"AA Quality" Tobacco Fer
tilizers are made especially for
tobacco. They feed the plants
properly and promote
uniform develop
ment. Each plant gets
its full share of the
food, in readily avail
able form, right up
to the ripening period.
"AA Quality" Fer
tilizers make each leaf
smooth - textured,
fine.-J>urning, top
quality. y
The materials used in these
famous fertilizers are com
pletely .mixed, cured and re
mitted. They are mechanically
perfect. They distribute easily
and evenly.
Three generations of success
ful farmers know "AA Qual
ity" Fertilizers as old and re
liable friends. Sixty years of
practical fertilizer experience
goes into their mak
ing. And the largest
