Cost of producing cotton not to fall with less fertilizer
Agricultural leaders warn 1931 cotton costs should drop per pound not per acre. J H Stallings of the National Fertilizer Association cites experiments across the Southeast showing economic yields require well balanced, adequately applied fertilizer. Louisiana data claim $8 per acre fertilizer yields $25 more cotton per acre, $17 profit per investment, urging careful cost per unit rather than expanding acres.
