Prosperity Due to Fertilizers Whatever may be the direct benefit. It is obvious from a 'study of the situation that the present prosperity and greater population in South Carolina is due more largely to the use of commercial fertilizers than to any other cause, because-in South Carolina fertilizers are absolutely necessary to profitable agriculture, upon which most of our business and other industries depend. Had it not been for the use of commercial fertilizers South Carolina could not be considered an agricultural state.

For the average Southern farmer, we cannot think of a better resolution for the New Year than one calling for bejtefthan average yields.

Millard, of Bethesna, Venn The distance was xoo cotton with the seed is worth $150, our average per acre yield of one-third of a bale is worth $50; but when we increase this to two-thirds of a bale, worth $100, we have a gross profit of $50 with which to pay for the cost ef the increase. Of course the cost of this increased yield, if the matter be gone about judiciously, will practically never be as much as $50. More often than not, in fact, it will be $23 or less, leaving a net' profit of $23 or more per acre.

And theame rule will hold with other crops and litestock as well. The higher the yield 'per acre or per animal, within certain limits, the. greater the net return. The new year and the years to come hold great things for the thinking, progressive, business-like farmer.
