The scant oat crop should be hus-

are as good for planting in the South
as those grown in the South. especially
if they are grown in the region where
they are to be planted. The same is
true Of wheat unless in given sec
ton. tAe best variety for that section
has not yet been used.
Good seed should be ordered early.
Unless fertilizers are ordered early,
so that dealers can ship only in full
carload lots 1t is quite probable that
farmers will be disappointed when.

will probably have more than they can
do even with full carload shipments.

The world is hungry. To get more
sood is an alarming problem.
How can the farms produce more
food when labor Is so scarce?
How can more acres be planted to
FOOD crops or how can more work be
given the acres usually planted with
out more labor?
Increase Of labor Is hardly to be
expected. but there Is one important
means Of help which the Southern
farmer has been utilizing in the
past and that is Fertilizer. But this
too Is beset with difficulties.
Fertilizer can increase production
without increasing labor except at
harvest time. The warning nations
appreciate this fact, and are giving
all the encouragement they can to the
use OF fertilizers.
The railroads can't do the bust
ness expected Of them unless every
freight car Is loaded to full Ca
Dacity. To load them to full capacity
the fertilizer dealer must have enough
orders In to make up full car load
before he can reasonably hope to get
a shipment. The earlier the carload
orders are placed the better chance,
Of course. of getting shipment. Be-
cause Of the shortage Of equipment,
the railroads should have as much
