Commercial fertilizers are revolution
izing farming, and while not as exten
sively used in this state as in other3,
Texas farmers are gradually learning
the advantages of intensive 'arming.
Last vear Texas used 33,400 tons of
commercial fertilizer and Alabama
used 1,000.000 tons, yet there Is as
much land that needs fertilizing in
Texas as there is in Alabama. The
fertilizer plant is located in Bryan and
the farmers of the surrounding coun
try can exchange their cottonseed for
fertilizer. The plant has a capacity of
100 tons per day. and there is never
a time when the fertilizer can not be
secured. Brazos county farmers in
preater numbers every year are using
this advantage to increase their yieia.
