In recent years short-staple upland varieties have replaced sea island. This is perhaps a temporary expedient. A return to long-staple. | may be feasible if communities can i unite on a single variety. It is diffi- \ cult, however, to avoid weevil in jury to the long-staples if earlier 1 short-staple varieties are to con tinue in the same district.”—W. M. Jardine, former Sec. of Agriculture. -V-0 "Mr. R— says V-C is good enough for him. Been using it for the past ten years and never made a failure. ” — L. W. Warren, Dealer, Mebane, N. O. -v-c Analysis for Bright-leaf For bright tobacco on soils that are quite productive, and on the heavier soils, the fertilizer should contain about 3 percent nitrogen, 8 percent phosphorio acid, 5 percent potash, according to agronomists and tobacco specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture and the experiment stations and agricultural colleges of Virginia, the Carolines and Georgia. These experts met tn Raleigh, N. C.. last September, and agreed in recom mending the best analyses for bright-leaf. On light-colored soils that have red subsoils, the experts said, the fertilizer should be a 3-8-3 analysis of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. On light or less productive soils, the analysis should be 4-8-6, in the order of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. -V-C "Used V-O fright-leaf Tobacco Grower 8-3-3, 1,000 pounds per acre, and although the weather conditions were very bad we sold the tobacco for $1.257.

"It’s V-C, Pete!” Maybe it*s the spring weather that makes a mule pull, or maybe It's the slap of a line and the sound of some stout language behind him —but this picture from the V-O billboards takes the position that it’s the V-O. Old Pete checks up before he starts, says the picture, and sees the V-O bags lined up across the field. Then he thinks to himself, in mule language, “Well, everything is all right. We might as well get going, for I’ve plowed this field too many times with a V-C crop to have any notion we can take our time from this on. Your Pa and me learned we had to hurry to keep ahead of that fertilizer—so come on. Son, let’s show ’em how to do some distributing!” Full rows is a cautious and conservative journal and vouches for nothing it can’t prove. Rut t here is the picture!

Poor farmers, like poor workmen and poor tradesmen and poor kings, have ever been in trouble.” Wheeler McMillen. -V-0 Fewer Seed, Better Plants Reduce the average amount of seed sown In your tobacco bed b.v half, says the Yearbook of Agricul ture. declaring that almost invari ably a tobacco grower seeds his plant bed too thickly. To plant fewer seed is better than to plant a thick bed and then have to thin it by hand, which is slow and laborious, or rake the bed. which hurts tender leaves. If the seed has been re-cleaned and all light and immature individuals taken out, it is even better to re duce the average amount by two thirds, feays the Yearbook. If to bacco seed has been thoroughly re cleaned, one ounce of it contains about 300,000 viable seed, says the Yearbook; so that an ounce of seed to 700 square feet of bed ought to bring a st and of three seedlings to the square inch, or about 8,000 plants to 1R square feet. This allows plenty of room for developing vigor ous seedlings with healthy root sys tems. and does not sacrifice space beyond reason. V-O Low yields of cotton per a. e mean high costs per pound. -V-C "—netted 725 pounds of lint cot ton per acre. Used 500 pounds of V-O 10-3-3 per acre and 150 pounds nitrate of soda.”—D. T. Tatum, LaFayette, Ala. -V-C Can Get Official Grading For 40 cents per sample, an.v grower or owner of cotton can get an official statement of the quality of his fiber. He is expected to ask for a form, fill it out. and send it back with his samples to the United States board of cotton examiners at New Orleans, Houston. Galveston or New York, or to the appeal board of review examiners at Washington. -V-C "American agriculture is rapidly going onto an industrial basis and is now undergoing a revolution as important in its way as the indus trial revolution from which America emerged a giant." — Dr. H.
