Director J N Harper of the Southern Soil Improvement Committee urges farmers to mix crops, improve acre yields, and invest in fertilizer and good seed to counter low prices. He stresses growing food and feed for family and stock, adding cash crops like cotton plus others, and expanding livestock as feasible.
An agricultural study by the United States Department of Agriculture shows calcium arsenate treatment raises cotton yield. In tested plots, treated fields averaged 1,215 pounds per acre versus 800 pounds on untreated plots, a gain of about 25 percent. Net profit near $120 per acre.
