PLEA FOR BETTER FARMING.
Brazos County Farm Demonstrator
Takes Eagle Ad at a Text In
Plea for Advanced Method.
In The Weekly Eagle of this week
there is an "ad" that reads as follows:
"Henry Wilcox son of John Wilcox
won $25 prize for best yield of corn
on two acres making 110 bushels.
"Guy Harris son of J. W. Harris
won second prize of $15 for next best
yield of corn making 106 mushels on
two acres.
"Victor Harris son of J. W. Harris
won first premium of $25 for best yield
of cotton on two acres making 2606
pounds of seed cotton.
"They used Star Brand fertilizer
good seed and their heads as well as
their hands. Did you do as well? If
not why not?"
Now it Is not necessary to say that
this ."ad" is being run by the Bryan
Cotton Oil and Fertilizer Company.
On reading It there were several
things in it that Btruck me with a
great deal of force. The first thing
is the remarkable yield of the crops
of these three boys. The writer hap-
pens to have been familiar with these
crops having visited them several
times during the cultural and growing
period and once at gathering time.
Will state first that these three crops
were raised on very light sandy land
and to make 55 buBheis of corn on
one acre of upland when the general
average for the county including bot-
tom land was a fraction over 15
bushelB. Is something wonderful and
when the ad states that these boys
used their heads as well as their
hands it was a fact that every reader
should be sure to not overlook. Of
course the fertilizer did Its part well
in this production but were there not
other hundreds of farmers that used
fertilizer that did not make over 20
to 25 bushels to the acre? We cannot
attribute It all to the land for there
are thousands or acres of better land
in the county that were planted to
corn and cotton that did not make
over 20 bushels of corn and a quarter
of a bale of cotton so it Is well for
ur to consider the real reasons of
these wonderful yields. In the first
place the land was put in first class
shape the fertilizer was applied In
an intelligent manner these crops
were cultivated Intensively which
rendered it possible for these splendid
yields. The ad finally concludes by
asking you this question: "Did von
do as well? If not why not?" This
Is the most important question that
has been asked the farmers of this
county and the correct and intelli-
gent answering of it Is the most im-
portant thing that they could ever un-
dertake. Did you do as well? If not
why? Your land perhaps much of It.
is better than these boys' lands were;
you had just the name chance of pre;v
aration. cultivation of fertilization
and yet you did not do as well. Why?
The proper answering of the ques-
tions and the adoption of the proper
methods will in three years time more
than double the average production
of both corn and cotton In this coun-
ty and there will not have to be one
more lick of hard work struck to pro-
duce these yields than there will be
to keep on producing 20 bushels of
corn and one-third of a bale of cotton.
Besides with the Improved methods
the land can be kept better all the
time while under the 20 bushel yield
the lands are conUnuallly growing
poorer.
The progressive spirit of the man-
ager of the oil company prompted him
to offer these premiums not only to
advertise his special fertilizer but to
show what could be done along the
lines of Increased production. He has
done what he has started out to do
and leaves you with the question to
answer yourselves: "Did you do as
well? If not. why?"
