Costs $50 To Grow
One Acre Cotton
(Continued from page one.)
cenU a pound, a yield of 312 pounds
of lint and acre will be required to
pay the actual costa of production.
By getting a larger yield than is
necessary at a given price, or by
producing at a coat of less than MO
an acre, a pro: it alxne expenses
will be made."
In enumerating tne costs that go
into producing an acre of cotton,
Mr. Rogers sajt, that 35 cents an
hour should be charged for family
labor. Horse work should be charged
at 10 cents and tractor work at $1
an hour. The cash price for fertili
zer or dusting material may be ac
curately obtained and $1 a ton i
usually charged for manure. Om
dollar an acre should also be charg
ed for the use of machinery in cul
tivation, planting and fertilizing. A
miscellaneous inarge of $2 an acre
will cover the overhead costs on
most farms and this will Include u
share of the general farm costs that
each productive enterprise must
carry.
A charge of five per cent on the
estimated value of the land is also
a legitimate coet item. To this
should be added the acre share of
the land taxes. Picking, ginning and
hauling will vary according to the
yield and a credit for the seed should
be divided by the pounds of lint pro
duced to get the cost of lint per
pound. If the net cost also is divid
ed by the number of acres in cot
ton, the cost an acre will be secur
ed. Figuring that it costs about *00
an acre to produce the lint, the
man who made 213 pounds an aero
this year will about break even.
