Peterkin advises cotton seed meal over commercial fertilizer
Capt. J A Peterkin, famed upland cotton planter, visits Columaus and urges farmers to replace ammoniated manure and acid phosphates with cotton seed meal. He claims his variety yields 29 percent lint and 40 pounds of lint per 100 pounds of seed in Orangeburg county, and predicts higher profits if farmers rest land and rely on seed meal. He plans to use 150 pounds of meal this year and urges discussion among granges and agricultural groups.
