You can if you use Natural Chilean Nitrate of Soda
for your top-dressing and side-dressing needs. It costs a little
more because it's worth more. But the difference in cost
usually can be measured in pennies per acre, while the differ
ence in value often amounts to dollars per acre.
Chilean "Bulldog" Soda gives you generous extra value.
The nitrogen is 100 per cent nitrate. It's 100 per cent available
(quick-acting I ; 100 per cent dependable. The minor elements
make crops stronger, healthier. The sodium 26 pounds in
every 100-pound sack is a key to maximum returns on your
entire fertilizer investment. It offsets the bad effects of acid
forming fertilizers... increases the efficiency of mixed ferti
lized containing them. It releases "locked-up" potash in the
soil... increases the availability and efficiency of soil phos
phate... reduces potash, calcium and magnesium losses by
leaching... develops larger, deeper root systems.
Sodium builds up the productivity of your land more
each year. It's an essential element for some crops ... bene
ficial to most and necessary .
for maximum yields of many.
Pcnnies-per-acre differ
ence in cost may mean
dollars-per-acre difference
in value to you. Chilean
"Bulldog" Soda is the best
fertilizer your money cs
buy. Use it for all o
your top-dressing an

Hi
By W. C. Williford
County Farm Agent
The Hoke County Cotton Com
mittee is going to make a special
effort to help our county produce
A BALE OR MORE IN "54. Ric
hard N'eeley, President of the
Hoke County Cotton Committee,
explains that we have an allot
ment of approximately 19,000
acres. The production cost for an
acre of cotton, using conservative
figures, will run from $75 to $80.
The cost of producing 'i bale of
cotton per acre is almost identical
to the cost of producing a bale
to the acre. In comparing figures
on a bale per acre production and
bale per acre production, the
cost will be about $10 to $15 dif
ferent whereas the gross return
will be about $85 difference.
Let's put these figures on the
basis of Hoke County's allotment.
19,(1(10 acres of cotton, making Vi
bale to the acre, will return the
county a gross income of about
SI. 6 15.000 or a net income, after
expenses, of approximately $190,
Oi'O. If Hoke County makes a bale
to the acre on 19,u00 acres, it will
return the county approximately
f3,230,ooo gross income or a net
income, above expenses, of over
S1.S('(',(!(J0.
You can see from these figures
' ::.t i bale per acre in 1954 would
give the county a buying ability

of almost a million and a half
dollars more than It would get
from a V4 bale to the acre aver'
age. It is for the benefit of the
'merchants and business men, as
well as the farmers, that we make
more cotton per acre than we have
been making.
If you have not already receiv
ed a letter from the Hoke County
Cotton Committee, you will re
ceive one in the near future. This
letter explains the first steps in
producing a bale of cotton per
acre. The Committee has studied,
very carefully, the records of
farmers who produced over a
bale per acre in 1953. These re
cords are very uniform, in that
they used recommended practices
and followed the seven steps to
efficient cotton production as re
commended by the Agricultural
Agencies. This column will carry,
from time to time, the suggested
practices for producing more cot
ton. The first good practice to fol
low is to use enough fertilizer.

Cotton fibers, as well as the stalks,
have to have a large amount of
plant food, so don't try to cut the
cost of production by leaving off
your fertilizer. Your cotton will
need 500-700 pounds of fertilizer
depending on your soil and the
rotation you have been using. If
you have had your soil tested, go
by the recommendations of the
Soil Testing Division. If you have
not had your soil tested, use at
least 500 lbs. of 5-10-5. If your
crops have shown a potash defi
ciency in the past or failer to ma
ture as you thought they should,
make it a 5-10-10 fertilizer. If
your seed are placed directly over
your fertilizer or in your ferti
lizer, it will educe your cotton
stand considerably. The best
stands have been obtained from
using side placement of fertilizer
or either by mixing the fertilizer
thoroughly with the soil. One of
the big reasons that people tell
me that they don't use enough
fertilizer on cotton is that it makes

Amid joyous hosannas and wav
ing of palm branches, He rode into the
city of Jerusalem, past these same walls
which are standing today.
Long ago in ancient Palestine, the prophet had
heralded the coming of a king. But now few
thought it more than the usual procession of
some new earthly ruler. Yet no king ever came
as He came. No king ever built such a kingdom.
This was the King of Heaven who rode into
the hearts of men and built there a Kingdom of
Love!
The crucified Him, but death could not stop
His coming. He comes in every age to all who
will believe. He comes to you.
Go to church this Palm Sunday, for "thy king
cometh." Let the King of Heaven ride into your
heart.
the stalk too large. The reason the
stalk gets too large is that the
boll weevil punctures the first
squares that come on your plant,
and the fertilizer goes to the stalk
instead of to the boll. If you have
a good boll weevil control pro
gram and bad weather doesn't
keep your poison from being ef
fective, you will prevent this
overgrowing of the stalk.
The state, district, and county
cotton contest is explained to you
in the letter from the Cotton
Committee. Hoke County is one
of the smaller counties, but we
have some good cotton land along
with the best farmers in the state.
I challenge you to help the Cot
ton Committee bring North Caro
lina's first prize to our county.
Talk to your neighbors and try
to have your community make A
BALE OR MORE IN '54 on every
farm.

ing the stage for harvesting. Gen
erally speaking, much more pro
gress has been made in Hoke
County in producing grain than
in storing grain. It's expensive to
produce crops tha4 you can't sell
because they are damaged before
market time. I woull suggest that
you check with the ASC office
and see If your storage facilities
will meet with their requirements
for the support price. We are sell
ing grain too cheap In Hoke Coun
ty. They are prepared to make
you a low interest loan toward
getting your storage facilities to
meet their requirements.
