COTTON COSTS AVERAGE FIFTY DOLLARS AN ACRE The average acre of cotton pro duced in-Nbrth Carolina posts $50 in labor, fertllzer, ginning and other costs. Working from this as I start ing point, the grower knows that he must produce at least 312 pounds of lint when cotton sells at 16 cents a pound before be will produce the cost of production. Either this or he must cut the cost of production below $50 an acre. "Few growers, however, know what It casts them ta produce an acre at cotton." says Dr. G. W. Forester, ag ricultural economist at State College. ' The season 'Is not too far advanced hut that a fairly accurate figure may be obtained for this year. It will bo necessary to recall the number of hoars of horse or tractor work pult in on the crop up to this time. Any work done last fall, such as cutting the stalks, discing and seeding for a cover crop needs to be charged pgalnst this year's cotton. The time spent In breaking, discing, harrow ing running rows, - ridging, distri buting fertllzer, seeding chopping rnd cultivating should be listed. The time spent by hired labor need not be recorded but the cash paid should he entered as a direct expense. The value of the fertliser must be given ?nd manure when used. A'fair val ue of $3 a ton should be charged for the manure. The market price for home-grown seed or the purchase Frice for bought seed must be record ed. Dusting materials and all Items from now on until harvest must be accounted far." - The total of all these will show the gross cost, says Dr. Forester. The net coet may be secured by deducting the value ot the seed. This net cost divided by the number of pounds of lint grown per acre will give the cost of pro ducing one pound.
