The cow and hens wil settle our daily bill; While the beeves, shoe and tobacco the coffers fill. And, when orchard, ga den and sty the larder fill, Then, with a smile, wil Mary greet her Bill. I COUNTY AGENT DID HELP. , Bruce King reports that he Jfollewed the suggestion of the County Agent last year in the j use of fertilizer for his tobacco land that because of this he is ! ahead many dollars. Bruce used 800 lbs of a high grade fertilizer to the acre and cut (nearly 1500 lbs of tobacco to I the acre. He; is the only one he I says on his creek that did not complain because o f light weight tobacco. Bruce says his i wife and children grew this crop and he might have made nore if he had helped more.

But after the Revolution, when wars broke out in .huroDe and our own War of 1 SI 2 came along, exports were choked off lor many years and other countries began trying to raise their own tobacco.

The Laredo should be used when it can be seeded early. P'or June seed ing we would advise the Vir ginia be used. Do not use the Mammoth Yellow. The seed may be cheaper by the bushel but more bushels are needed and the hay is coarse and not as desirable as that irom the other two varieties. Might talk with the county agent a bout it. MILK SOME COWS Lester Price is looking for a good heifer that is just fresh or will freshen soon. J. H. Stines is "The farmers of the country are learning that they must use good fer tilizer even on good land and not be too stingy with the amount." U. D. Wilson, Louisiana Commissioner of Agriculture. V-C "The farmer of the future will do more than keep books. He will be a farm budgeteer, a man who plans. He wiU look ahead." Renick W. Dunlap. v-c . Exports Break Record "The total exports of raw tobacco will pass well over 600,000,000 pounds for 1928 and make it the greatest export year since 1924. Bright cigarette tobaccos have broken the record. China's pur chases amounted to more than 119, 000,000 pounds, compared with 102,000,000 pounds sold to the United Kingdom, heretofore our leading market. The Chi ette trade almost reached nine and a half billions an increase of more than 50 per cent over last year." Department of Commerce, December, ms. v-c IT TAKES joM about much work lo raiae ao acre of scrub cotton or aorrr tobacco it doe lo raiae an acre of good crop. The difference In wbat roa set begin with the Med end the toll and the fertiliser. Two TiuNos yield per acre and quality of product spell all the PROFIT in farming. V-C Fertilizers in crease yield and improve quality. Therefore V-C and Profit are partners. Back Up the Scientists Everybody can eat just so much and put on so many clothes and he can't eat or wear any more, no matter how rich he is. But on other things his pocketbook is the only limit. The job is to learn how farm prod ucts can be used in making these Cigarette Blends Won According to tobacco authorities, the great increase in the use of cigarettes began with large-scale manufacture of the mild blended type of cigarette that has come to be recognised as distinctively the Amer ican. Turkish and others have given way before them. V-C . "Ours is a new country, but much of our farming area is already crying for more commercial fertiliser." American Farming. -V-C- -V-C- I zs n 1 I uairsiin) I IID cEO (1 ca a a ca "On a 20-acre plot of Irish pota toes the entire crop graded 316 bushels of U. S. No. 1 to the acre. I used one ton of V-C 6-8-7 Ameri can Brand per acre. I am more than satisfied with your fertilizers." Harold S. Tice, Deer field, N. J. other things too. They hold big op portunities. Cotton seed used to be a big nuisance around gins, for in stance. Now it is worth real mon ey, thanks to the scientists. Scien tific research must stay on its job of huntine for new values in nW fnrm products. There ought to be a good use besides just eating it or wear ing it for EVERY croo a farmer can grow. Let's back up the scien tists with encouragement and money and they'll die UD hidden market all around us. V-C "Efferriv tarHUaHn l. ....M l.v.ll lo 11 W I merAlv nti adrlciilrnMl . . . i J -". 1 t-ljllll K ment but a national necessity." American Trust Co. V-C Blending and preparing cigarettes has become an exact science, says a govern ment report. Tobacco from at least five successive crops is used, the harvests of dif ferent years being blended to overcome variations due to seasonal conditions. V-c The man who's too stingy to feed the crop that he expects to feed him is like the Scotchman Mixed Goods tells about. He was leaving to visit kinfolks, and called back to his wife: "Dinna forget to take little Sandy's glasses off when he isna lookin' at anything." Tobacco Materials Costly "The main problem in making tobacco fertilizers is what materials to use in making the nitrogen. There are many. The organic nitrogen materials are more expensive than the inorganic, but it has been found that the liberal use of organic nitrogen materials in a tobacco fertilizer is highly desirable. This of course increases the cost of mak ing the best tobacco fertilizers." . M. Purdom. -V-C- "The progressive and intelligent farmer will get all he can from every source of knowledge and then, through common-sense trials, will find out just what will squarely hit his ouns conditions." Modern Farmino. V-C - "Farming is undergoing a revolution even further than new machinery, for it is introducing a technique of intelligent scientific practices which will displace those farmers who do not avail themselves of the new methods." . H. Hei-mann. -v-c- The Fourth Ingredient Along with their ammoniates and potash and superphosphates, V-C Fertilizers always contain a fourth ingredient. This is not a substance at all, yet it makes the whole mixture good as to sources and blend, as to contents and condition. V-C Fertilizers would not be tha same without it. This Fourth Ingredient, found in no other fer tilizer but V-C, is a priceless one. It is V-Ct good name. VIRCINIA-CABOLINA CHEMICAL CORPORATION- sorry he sold a couple. They want to sell cream.
