When the cot ton is finally sold, the grower has reasonable expectation of an ad ditional amount. The success of the plan depends entirely on the farm ers themselves, says J. A. Evans, of the U. S. Department of Agricul * 1-V-C “—probably the best piece of to bacco in this section. Used V-0 Burley Tobacco fertilizer, just what j you recommended. Am more than pleased.” — S. W> Keys, Glade Spring, Va. Diversification at Last * “The report that farm conditions aro generally excellent is further proof that business conditions are sound. Improvement has been marked, despite local slumps. This is partly duo to diversification, which is now at: last being prac ticed. No longer are farmers com pletely wiped out when any single crop fails."—New York Times. -V-C-. Each individual leaf is handled 35 times, in the Quincy area, to pre pare Florida shade tobacco for cigar makers. ---V-C Canada Is Learning, Too “As the plant food content of the Canadian soils slowly diminishes, farmers realize more and more the value of fertilizers in obtaining in creased yields.”—Commerce Reports. -V-C Hydrogen gas will harden peanut oil so it will stand even tropical heat without melting. After tho oil is taken out, the by-product makes a good flour, high in protein content and fine for feeding animals as well as for human food in dietaries PUT POOR LANDS BACK “Marginal and sub-marginal land is of low productive power, low standards of living, low social standards. Sound policy must ex clude such land from agriculture and assign it to its legitimate uses such as timber production and grazing.”—J. G. Lipman, New Jersey College of Agriculture. --V-C Cotton prices depend on the quality of the crop as well as on the total number of bales. -V-C New International System ; “Several states of the south will | this year transfer their allegiance : from their time-honored custom of stating phosphoric acid first to the j international system of stating ni- | trogen, phosphoric acid, potash.” i E.

The world is smoking more cigarettes every year, and foreign production of the flue-cured is limited. -V-C Now It's N our Turn Ever hear of the muh who got so scared when he heard the burglar that his false teeth chattered in the glass of water? Yes? Well, then, did you ever hear cf the other fellow who was so ugly that when he hired out us a scarecrow the crows hurried home and brought back corn they’d been stealing for three years?

Science Adds Millions Farmers and farm leaders of Georgia have furnished a striking example of how to add millions of dollars to agricultural income bu applying scientific methods. A dozen years ago tobacco was a com paratively unimportant crop in the state. Today it ranks second in value. The agricultural leaders learned exactly what types of soil were best adapted to this crop, in formed Georgia farmers of the facts, and thus insured the rapid growth of a highly important in-4 dustry, says Dr. H. G. Knight, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. -v-c "Fertilizers are expected to con tain potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen. The time is coming when they will be more complex. Nitrogen can be fixed from the air, but es sential minerals cannot."—Florida, An Industrial Survey. -V-C Lei's Keep It Secret! They’re figuring on growing cot ton in another state of Brazil—the state of Para.

I What wouldn’t they do if they had V-C! “—used V-O Fish & Potash mix ture on my fall wheat and reaped an excellent harvest. Am well satis fied.
