As it is, though, the county has equalled if not outdistanced the product lot record of former years, ho believes "I'nion county soil needs more nitrate of 1'oda. with a top-dressing prepara tion," Mr. Broom continued. "Anson county used over 2, Odd tons of soda last year, and as a result, raised near ly a thousand bules more than we did In the past Fnlon has produced more cotton than Anson. Only 400 tons of soda were used in this county the past season, and If we would use about ten times this nmouni next year we would nearly double the size of our crop." Ten years ago the farmer who pro duced a bale of cotton to the acre was considered an exception to the rule Some people, back in those days, even went so far as to state I'nion county land was incapable of raising a bale to the acre. The past season, when reports came in of certain farmers producing two bales of cotton to the acre, little comment resulted. This comparison goes to show how much farming methods have Improved in this section in such a comparatively short time; and it is not out of rea son to expect the day goon to ar rive when a fanner who raises less than a bale to the acre will be con sldered worthless and trifling. Tom Broom says this county could raise 40.000 bales of cotton next year if the landowners would use nitrate of soda and top-dressing generously The "Wants You" edition of The Journal Is attracting attention in many parts of the Slate Judging by the number of felicitous letters re ceived by local business houses.
