It would take talents more rnan or
binary to produce rivals to some Of
the bags shown In the shops. Beading
plays an important role In the max

using the beads are many and the

Pouch shapes, big and little, fat or
slim, are made up in many materials
but usually In soft stuffs so that they
are more or less collapsible. Some Of
them though, of supple silk or velvet

are kept from faintheartedness by
reeds run into shirrings around the
center or by some slightly stiff band
set under an encircling band Of bead
embroidery or fur.
Often the lower part Of pouch
bag will be Of one material, fur, silk,

the upper half is of another material

Some who are opposing the holding
OF constitutional convention are ad-
vancing the argument that the time Is
not propitious and that 1t would be
better to wait until the European war
is over.
But why? Is the fabric of Tennessee
or the other States of the Union or
that of the Federal government to be
changed by the struggle across the
waters? Is it necessary to await
revolution In this country which no
man anticipates, and which, indeed, all
men know is not coming, in order to
transact pressing public business?
II is the map OF Europe which is to
be changed by that experimenting
struggle; 1t is European thrones which
are FALLING and tottering, and not the
institutions OF the great Republic of
the western hemisphere.
Every American commonwealth may
rightfully and wisely proceed to adjust
its laws and plans and aspirations
along the lines of its own needs and
environment and destiny, in the most
absolute and serene assurance that the
European war will be powerles5, OIL
the one hand, to disturb the fabric OF
its government; nor will it, on the 9TH
er, relieve 1t of the necessity of a pru-
dent Enention to matters of immedi-
ate concern.
The patriotism of Tennessee will not
be exhausted on the battlefelds OF
France. 1t will be illustrated there,
splendidly illustrated; 1t will be proven
In a prowess which will be worthy Of
the most heroic memories of a past
which hoary Europe may deem young
but which all Europe admires and re.
spects, Teuton no less than Celt. But
the fathers and elder brothers of the
gallant array of sons of Northland and
Of South marching beneath common
flag to fields of common courage and
common glory, will not prove recre-
ant at home to the spirit of patriotism
which animates the absent soldiery Of
the nation.
They will perform, In reverent and
unbroken tenderness of memory,

The corn crop is the bread OF the
South, and its yield should be increas.
ed to the limit. This fall and next
winter the southern people should eat
more corn bread and less wheat
bread
Our farmers must not fail to pro
duce all the hay possible, and 1t will
pay to fertilize a patch OF sorghum
and peas with a fertilizer containing
from 10 to IL per cent phosphorus acid
and IL to 2 per cent nitrogen.
Cotton is not generally recognized
as a food crop, but the country must
not overlook the fact that an acre OF
cotton that will produce bale will
yield almost as great a food and feed
value in the seed as the same land
planted to corn. Therefore, an In
creased yield in that crop means In
creased food and feed products.
Fertilizers are used for the plant
food they contain, and 1t will be Inn
possible to produce profitable yields
without ample plant food. Just what
fertilizer to apply and how much TO
use as a side application will depend
on the soil type, the crop planted, and
the kind and amount of fertilizer used
at the time the land was prepared.
On Piedmont soils and clay soils we
would recommend from 200 to 300
pounds of fertilizer for cotton and
corn Analysing to s per cent phos-
phoric acid and to per cent nitro
gen. For field crops in the coastal
plain, we would recommend from 300
to 400 pounds OF fertilizer analyzing
from 4 to per cent phosphoric acid
and from 4 to 6 per cent nitrogen.
This fertilizer should be applied to
corn when il is from knee to waist
high and to cotton at the time the
first squares are forming.
For the silt loans in Alabama, Lou
isiana and Mississippi, we would rec
ommend for cotton or corn 100 to zoo
pounds of fertilizer Analysing IL per
cent available phosphoric acid and w
per cent nitrogen. This La to be APP
piled to the corn when about knee high
and to the cotton when squares begin
forming Under most favorable con-
ditions a pound of fertilizer means
three pounds of seed cotton. From
this we can see that }1.00 invested
in fertilizer at this time means from

the acreage devoted to food crops. as
practically all of the land has been
planted, but large yields can be OBJ
tanned just the same, provided good
cultivation is given and fertilizers are
literally applied as side applications.
Potatoes have advanced ESQ per
cent, corn 100 per cent, hay 80 per
cent, beef and pork 100 per cent,
whereas the cost of fertilizer has ad-
Vanced only 25 per cent.
The wheat crop this year is short,
and 1t has been estimated that 300,-
100000 bushels of the 1917 wheat crop
has been bought by European coun-
tries for future delivery. Unless the
corn crop Of the South is bumper"
bread will be luxury instead OF the
staff of life.
The farmer Is being advised on ev-
cry hand to increase production, but
he is limited in his credit and he finds
it hard to obtain sufficient labor. The
best way to increase the production
of corn and other food crops, as well
as cotton, is to cultivate thoroughly
and often and make side applications
of fertilizers. II the farmer hasn't the
money to hire labor, under present con-
ditions, 1t will pay him to borrow
money on his crop to pay sufficient
labor to cultivate and fertiliZe his
crops adequately. After each rain
dust mulch should be made with the
cultivator. We need not expect a
bountiful harvest unless the soil mois-
ture is conserved. AS general rule,
the amount Of corn produced is in d.
rect proportion to the amount Of wa
ter conserved in the soil by thorough
cultivation.
