Fertilizers. ' jv. -s .
v Messrs. Lucas & Jackson of Kelsey County, Term.; ned Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizer on about 55 acres planted with cotton, and
say: "We have the finest crop of cottan we ever saw, and all the
people around here think the same. We actually counted-447 bolls
on one stalk. Another stalk had by actual count 409 bolls, forms, "
souares and blossoms. On about 8 acres we expect to anake about
2 bales to the acre, and an estimate of adjoining farms not so fer
tilized and under ojher cultural methods, will yield only 1 bale to
five acres." -.' '. .
- An interesting picture pf the cotton plants referred to will be
found in the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers' Year Book, copy
of which may be had from your fertilizer dealer, or will be sent

Make ypur friends among the

friendship of Jesus Christ; of him
who plants the vision for all good in
the heart, of him who sticketh closer
than a brother; of him who goeth
down with us into the valley of ' the
shadow. When Jonathan Edwards
was dying he bade his family farewell
and turning his head slightly asked,

He was right. In' that hour we shal'
want his friendship. We may have It

proverbs among us. "A man is known
