KEEP YOUR SOIL AND YOUR SOIL WILL KEEP YOU How true this is. It is our belief that the farmers of Mad ison County are alive to this fact. It is also our belief that they are endeavoring to 'keep their soil' better with each year. There are some elements of plant food that must be con tinually added to the soil each year if the soil is going to be kept. Those that interest us most are the nitrogen, the phosphorous, and the potash ingredients in the soil. In con nection with the replenishment of these three plant feeds the vegetable or humus content of the soil must be maintained. Without a good amount of hu mus (decayed vegetable matter in the ';8oil) it is imposible to get profitable returns from soil. The farmer can maintain the humus content by the addition of stabje litter and by. vtne growing of green cover crops during 'the winter season and by the tse of a liberal amount of grass! and clover crops m his rotation. Red clover should not' be passed up in Madison County by the farmer who wants to maintain the fertility of his soil. This legume can be grown suc cessfully by the use of lime stone. More limestone should be used. In the growing of clover and the plowing under of this crop nitrogen is added to the soil as well as vegetable matter or humus. Don't pass up red clover. If not able to grow it start using limestone if you cannot lime more than one acre a year. Each crop af ter you use limestone will pay I VVASHirJGTOrJ COUNTY i TOBACCO WAREHOUSE I - " t t Opens It Sale January 1, 1930 i !5 I We are proud to feel like we; , have made it possible for our pat g rons to spend a Merry; Christmas x ii - n j i '. .. . . . j t. .. .. . .

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER -The farmer mast look to com mercial fertilizer as a source of phosphorous and potash, as well as for some of the nitro gen his crops are going to need. At a meeting of agronomists, held in Chicago, some verses in a song word-writing con test, the theme of which was "Li'l Liza Jane" and the tru ism, "Fertilizer Pays' was the motif the following won first prize, a five-tine d fork, and was writen by Extension Di rector Baldwin of Michigan. It ran as follows: "My crops this year filled the barn, Fertilizer Pays! For taxes I don't give a darn Fertilizer Pays!" CHORUS: Fer-r-r-r-tilizer! Pays! Fer-r-r-r-tilizer! Pays! Fertilizer Fertilizer i The second prize was South Carolinian and his prize was a wide-mouthed shovel. His verse was: T iioA Av4-i1iAi xrmi 1100 nnno Fertilizer Pays! I make money, you get stung, Fertilizer Pays!" The third prize, a set of red whiskers, went to a Wiscon sin man, for "I've had 'nuf to eat by heck, Fertilizer Pays! But I know who'll get the check, Fertilizer Pays!" From 'The Fertilizer Review. T h e editor of American Farming, in an editorial, states that a survey of farmers using fertilizers shows that for ev ery dollar invested in fertilizer the user receives a return of i LI Li will be open all LI A !I a ?7on9:r.:r. THE NEWS-RECORD $3.54. In making this survey 48,000 farmers in 1 35 states were interviewed. Tobacco leads all other crops in the val ue of the increase secured, $6.69 for every dollar invested in fertilizer. Next comes cot ton with $4.71 per dollar in vested; com, $2.88 per dollar; wheat, $2.76 per dollar; fruit and vegetables, $3.16; oats, $1.84; miscellaneous crops, $3.16. Each of these figures is based on the estimates of sev eral thousand farmers grow ing the crop. PASTURES NEED FERTILIZ- ING Results of pastures in the East and Northeast, top dressed on 72 farms in 10 states in 1929, show that the cost of dry matter on the best fertilized plots was only about 40 to 60 percent as much as the cost of dry matter in the form of clover hay, corn, or soiling crops, and 25 per cent as much as the cost of concentrates. The dry matter yields per acre for the different plots in tnese 72 tests averaged ; check plot, 991.2 pounds; superphos phate (16 acid) 1,303.9 pounds; lime and superphos phate, 1,410.6 pounds lime, superphosphate and potash, 1,736 pounds; lime and com plete fertilizer, 2,200 pbttifts; The protein content of th cut ting from these plots averaged 15.8, 16.7, J6.8, 19.2, and 19.4 per. cent respectively. The best fertilized land produced Vege tation containing nearly one- fourth more protein per pound of dry men be tilized plot, as an average, pro duced an increase when cem- pared with the check plot e- rauivalent to something over 1200 pounds of 22 per cent protein dairy feed worth about $30 at present prices. The an nual cost of the treatment over a period of years is estimated a,t $13.50 per acre $2.25 for i $1.00. HOW BUY FERTILIZER! v The user wishes to buy his fer tilizer so as to get the most for his money. In judging the cost the purchaser must not only consider the price he asked but also must consider the make up or analysis of what he is buying. A California paper puts it as follows: "Fertilizers are sold on the basis of the plant food units they contain. They cost mon ey, of course every grower knows that but are a very necessary and important fac tor in successful fruit growing (farming can be inserted in stead fruit growing) . By hav ing an analysis made the grow er is not only assured that he is getting what he pays for, but he helps protect himself as well as all legitimate dealers from unscrupulous practices of the "Fly-hy-night" ., . "Call for an analysis. It is sound business." ' - 'We - advise .th e Madison County farmer to buy his fer tilizer by; analysis, not by the name or brand,, and buy. ac cording to the crop he wants to grow. ! .. r- DO WE WANT A TOBACCO WAREHOUSE IN MARSHALL A .tobacco warehouse is be ing agitated for Marshall. Is j rX Christmas .' ( J : TMfOQ HAVfMOmi 1 5- ! . ty? It is our opinion that a properly' managed tobacco warehouse is needed and that it will benefit both the town of Marshall and Madison County. There were 2,036,000 pounds, of tobacco grown in Madison County last year. This tobacco was all hauled to Tennessee markets to be sold. The haul bill on this amount of tobacco alone was at least $20,000. Besides this it re quires considerable time to go to market with the tobacco. If the market were at Marsh all a large number of the growers could haul their to bacco to market with scarcely any outlay of cash and with a minimum amount of time. It costs money to remain over night in. Morristown, . Grene ville, or Johnson City. This outlay of money would not be necessary for many of our cit izens if the warehouse were lo cated atarshalL Those that were forced to remain over night would have the satisfac tion of knowing that their mon ey was being paid to a Madi son County tax payer. ; Above - we have given but one or two considerations as to why: a tobacco warehouse is advisable ? to the citizens of Maocto County., -There are others; We consider , thai, when ' the necessary arrange ments for buyers, for the loca tion of the warehouse, the for mation of an incorporation to handle the deal, etc., are made that the step advocated is an excellent one.
