Look for the arch on No. 10 4 Vol. II, No. 3 Virginia-Carolina Chpmical Corporation Copyright 1930 Bait for Boll Wee\ il The Department: of Agriculture thinks the boll weevil smells her way to the cotton field—and there fore it is planning ways to trick her. "Tlie odorous principle of the cotton plant has been studied," says the Secretary of Agriculture. ‘‘This principle has been isolated, and the compound can probably be x\\ \ 5u.d' synthetically. Here is a pos sible neans of furnishing bait for boll /eevils which may have con ; Hie ibleimportance.” Cl .inds like a joke, but it is far from being that. Maybe two or three years from now we'll be spreading vempty V-O sacks on frames, with a little of this “prin ciple” in the bottom, and when a sack gets full of weevils all we'll have to do will be to haul it away and get rid of them. -V-C “Huve sold V-C for 30 years,, and have used V-O on our own crops, with excellent results. V-C’s quality and other merits are proved—our customers always come back for more.”—The P. D. Halligan Co., Dealer, Carson, Va. --V-C Millions from a Weed 1 In all countries where tobacco is produced on any considerable scale, it “provides art important source of state revenues,” says Encyclopaedia Britannica—which is another way of saying it pays a lot of taxes. Think of the billions of dollars’ worth of public works that have been paid for with taxes on the descendants of the plant that even the Indians first thought was a weed! "Have just closed our 14th season selling V-C. \\ > have always guar anteed every W of V-C and have not had one di. ..cisfied customer.” —Seed & Fertu:zer Co., Christians burg, Va. The Consumer Pars It All The United States is one country that does not tax or control the growing of tobacco. But after the leaf is marketed, what a harvest it gathers! Internal revenue taxes for manufacturing, license taxes for selling—and finally the consumer refunds everything everybody else has paid up to that minute. “Change is inevitable in a progressive country. Change is constant.”—Dis raeli, at Edinburgh, 1807. -v_c Seeding from the Air A tract of 1,000 acres in Oregon ! was seeded from an airplane travel ing 70 miles an hour, 500 feet, above ground, says an exchange. A fine stand of grass was obtained and the cost was about one-third that of hand seeding. -V-C Strong and vigorous young to bacco plants stand best the shock of transplanting and leave you less re-planting to do. Then your tobacco crop comes on in uniform size, matures evenly, cures better. If you haven't tried V-O Bloom Aid for fertilizing your plant bed, you haven't seen what vigor and strength young plants can have. BloomAid makes them beg to be transplanted! —-V-C- - Close Spacing, High Yichl “Probably the most valuable les son that the cotton contest has taught is the effect of close spacing on yield." writes A. B. Bryan in Manufacturers Record, describing re sults of the Clemson College 5-Acre contest which recently completed its fourth year. “Clearly ami positively, close spacing of row and in drill increaso the yield per acre." The best width of row is 35 to 37 inches, he con A decrease throughout South Carolina to this width of row would add about $10,000,000 to the value of the state’s crop, at IS cents a pound, | And by actual count, of stalks it I has been found that the highest yields are made with an average of I about three stalks per foot of row. Heavy fertilizing 1 ays Testa in growing bright tobacco, made by the Virginia experiment, station through a period of nine successive years, show clearly that heavy applications of fertilizer pay better than light applications. The record of the tests shows that 1,400 pounds of 3-8-3 per acre brought an average yield of 1.038 pounds that sold for an average of $186 per acre whereas only 700 pounds per acre, of the same analysis, brought a yield of 618 pounds that sold for $91 per acre. The difference in favor of heavy applications was 320 pounds or $95 per acre. -V-C "V-O goods are OK—none bet ter."— E. S. Hyder & Son, Dealer. Ston.vpoint, Tenn. -V-O Cotton, Oldest of Crops "Cotton is one of the oldest of all cultivated plants, and is the most valuable fiber plant in the world. It was grown in China three thousand years before Christ. Europeans did not know of the plant until a few centuries ago. It was first cultivated in the United States by the earl.v settlers in Virginia.'* - - William S. —V-C-— 1 furnish what my trade speci - fies - V-C ”—W. D. Joyner, Dealer. Rocky Mount, N. C. The Way Is Open "Most American mills require cotton better than the average of the grades and staples produced In the United States. Growers have 1 herefore an opportunity to increase their income by producing cotton of higher spinning value. The strongest demand is for middling to strict middling cotton from i-’16 to l! |6 inch in length of staple. Foreign competition in the production of these lengths Is prac tically non-existent. Clearly the American cotton industry has here an opportunity which ought not to be neglected.”— W. M. Jardine, former Secretary of Agriculture. / \ 11! - * M A - C. A R O 1.1 N A 4 111 Ml ( A l.
