The above table deserves careful study. Even with cotton 

 calculated at six cents per pound, fertilizers were profita- 

 ble, the average net profit per acre ranging from |1.26 to 

 12.30. 



With eight-cent cotton the average net profits from fer- 

 tilizers assume important proportions, ranging from |2.35 

 and |4.86 per acre.
