The Lord's i Acre movement calls for devoting | one acre fo land to any crop desired, ■ and the proceeds from that acre may be applied to any church ac tivity desired. The plan is sponsor ed by the Farmers Federation, and Rev. Dumont Clark is in charge-of the work. GOOD FERTILIZER PAYS. I i Increasing his corn yield this year on five acres 80 percent by an ex penditure of $5.00 per acre was the .experience of Mr. P. B. Owens of ; Union Mills. This five-acre corn fei*- 'tilizer demonstration was arranged |by County Agent F. E. Patton to | determine the value of side-dressing jcorn. Each of the five acres were fer tilized with 300 pounds acid phos phate at planting time. When the j corn was knee high, 300 pounds I Chilean Nitrate of Soda per acre •was applied. The yield on this five 'acres averaged 54.1 bushels per ,acre. On a one-half acre plot in the i middle of the field, only the acid phosphate was applied. The yield on this was 151 1 bushels of corn or 30.2 bushels per acre. Five dollars worth of Chilean Ni jtrate gavq an increase of 24 bush els of corn per acre. Valuing this at only 75c per bushel, each dollar ' spent for the better fertilization 'gave a return of $3.60. "Poor soils, poor seed and poor fertilization make a combination that is costing Rutherford county farmers thousands of dollars each year," said Mr. Patton. "It is hop ed that the farmers of the county will study the results of this and ether demonstrations designed to help correct this annual loss," he continued. Worn out and washed soils in Orange county will be started on the way back to- fertility by a mul titude of mangum terraces which the landowners are now preparing to build.

FARMERS LOSE MONEY ON COTTON PROJECTS Ellenboro, Jan. 12.—Despite the fact that the records of the 48 El lenboro farmers who attended the "bale per acre" cotton banquet at the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce building last Friday show that a total net profit of $1,162.45 was realized from 309% acres which yielded them 320 bales, still, many of the boys and men lost money as individuals on their cotton projects which were conducted in cooperation with the department of agriculture of the local school. Their average yield per acre of 524 pounds on 309% acres of land is considered high but the low prices of lint and seed combined with the dry season proved to be the factors responsible for the losses in many projects. However, the loss incurred in some of the projects were listed as low as SI.OO. Accurate records were kept and the cost sheet in each project show the following: Rent of land and managerial services were charged at a rate of SIO.OO each per acre, plant ing seed and fertilizers at actual costs, use of tools and machines it $1.50 per acre, interest on the mon ey invested in seed and fertilizers was charged at 6 r /, and manure was charged at from SI.OO to' $2.00 per load. Man and horse labor was charg ed at twenty and fifteen cents per hour respectively. Ginning was listed at $3.00 per bale and picking was recorded at a cost of sixty to SI.OO per 100 pounds of seed cotton as to what the farmers paid or thought it was worth. We need to reduce the number of acres in cotton but effort should be made at all times to increase the yield per acre because high yields usually con-elate with low cost pro duction and good profits.
