An easier way is to get the ready-to-use

While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we
all desire to retain our youthful appear

your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because it
does it SO naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two, your

Better" Farming in the South
BRIGHT PROSPECTS WHICH
IMPROVE-FERTLITY PROBLEMS,
CHARLES A. WHITTLE.

be obtained, the nearest fertilizer to
1t, Of course, can be used, every effort
being made to give the plant its full
food requirements. This seems to be
about the best advice the experts are
giving to tobacco growers this year,
with respect to this one important ele-
ment of plant food in raising tobacco.
AS for the other elements of plant
food for the growing Of tobacco, there
has been no serious trouble to sup
ply on account of the war, unless the
car shortage is to be considered. But
for the farmer who has been fore
sighted, car shortages have not been
serious difficulties, since he has or
dered far enough in advance to make
sure of getting his shipment in time
For tobacco the phosphoric acid
should be used only in the form of
acid phosphate and the nitrogen
should come from those materials hav-
ing it in quickly available form such
as nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammo
mia, dried blood and cottonseed meal.
Quoting from Virginia Experiment
Station bulletin 1913:
Higher applications Of fertilizer ap-
piled to tobacco usually paid better
than light applications. Fourteen hum
dred pounds Of an 8-3-3 fertilizer gave
a net profit of 1888 per acre more
than 500 pounds Of the same fertilizer,
and the after effects on succeeding
crops were more pronounced"
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-04-03

Worldwide war and war prices
should not disturb the tobacco farm
er in the least, and should move him
only to try to meet the increased de-
mand and realize the greater Profits
which the market affords. Prosperity
is abroad, why should not the tobacco
grower get his share of it?
On the battle front tobacco is the
one sedative. It's aromatic smoke
rises as an incense from every trench.
The army demand is great and grow
ing. Persistent rumor has it that the
manufacturers stocks are running low
Certain it is that consumption in this
country is increasing.
Bright Outlook
: In fact, the outlook for tobacco is
bright, and it would seem that every
pound grown this year would find
ready market at good prices. 1t is,
therefore, year to go in to raise
bumper crops, to prepare the seed bed
well, to plant good seed, fertilize lib
orally and cultivate thoroughly so that
the maximum crop of the best quality
could be obtained and the largest prof
it accrue
Feeding the Plant Literally
Just as farmers are doing for all
other crops, the tobacco farmer should
be doing for his crop, that is, feed lib
orally with plant food. This is year
when prices which crops are bringing
should induce tho farmer to be gener-
Gus in feeding them, and considerate
in giving them the best possible cult
walton, feeling assured that at no time
in many years would this be better
justified by the returns that can be
expected this year.
No plant is more responsive to good
fertilization and cultivation than to-
bacco. It yields heavily when proper
" fertilized and when the fertilizer Is
we'll balanced the better the quality
of the yield.
The shortage in the supply OF pot
ash incident to the war has been
disturbing factor, it is true, but ii
fertilizer containing the amount OF pot
ash generally recommended is not to
