Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar

Better" Farming in the South
The Present Fertilizer Situation


made potash, however, is just as val
liable as the potash salts that were
formerly obtained from Germany.
Acid phosphate is scarce, due to the
fact that there is a shortage of sui
phuric actd-a necessary compound in
the manufacture of acid phosphate.
Sulphuric acid is scarce, because py-
rites, from which most of it is made,
has been coming from Spain and ships
are not now available with which to
transport it.
The fertilizer manufacturers have
been compelled to turn to the domes-
tic pyrites, and readjust their manufac-
turing plants to the production of sui
phuric acid from birthstone obtained
from Louisiana and Texas. The gov
ernment is requiring of the fertilizer
manufacturers sulphuric acid in large
amounts to be used in tho manufacture
of explosives.
Then, too, there is considerable diff.
ficulty in obtaining supplies of rock
phosphate, because Of the transporta-
ton shortage.
The supply Of nitrates has also been
curtailed because large amounts of sui
phate Of ammonia are being taken for
refrigeration purposes, and the manu-
facture of munitions. Cotton seed
meal, valuable source Of nitrogen, is
being used more and more for feeding
live stock, Tankage. another splendid
source Of nitrogen, is also being used
for the sam purpose; consequently cot
ton seed meal and tankage are high in
price.
Nitrate Of soda IS more expensive at
the Chile mines, and shipping rates
have increased enormously, and muni-
ton requirements are heavy.
The fertilizer manufacturers find it
hard to secure bags for shipping, since
there is tremendous shortage of bur-
lap.
Thus 1t can be easily seen that 1t will
be very difficult to obtain necessary
fertilizer materials, and the farmer
must take due notice and act accord
ingly if he would make sure of getting
his plant food
Order At Once
The farmer must not overlook the
fact that transportation difficulties are
Increasing daily. The railroads are lit
orally overwhelmed They have, there
fore, been compelled to rule that fer
tilizers and freight in general must
move in full car load lots, which means
cars must be loaded to their maximum
capacity.
Therefore, Mr.. Farmer, order your
fertilizers NOW; order PLENTY Of
them; use them literally and judicious-
ly, and thus secure maximum yields of
crops, and SO do your part to supply
the crying needs of the world, while
at the same time you increase your
bank account.
