From the University Bulletin
A report received from the Pater-

tains material that may be of help
to other high school teachers in de-
vedoping courses i'll which economy
in foods is emphasized. The superin-
tendent of schools discussed the food
situation with the teachers of home
economics and asked them to plan
ways of conserving and preserving
foods in the Nations crisis. He
made the following suggestions:
l. Keep up the work on substitu-
ties Gor potatoes. Use water-cress for
potash salts.
2. Teach ways of using cornmeal

LOST SLIPPER MAKES MOD
ERN CINDERELLA OF THIS
NEW YORK GIRL

New York, June 5.-Not once upon
a time, but right at the present mo-
ment, lives girl known as Miss Mi
ncrva Menke, whose hair is golden,
whose eyes are blue and whose com
plexion is of the color of cream and
roses. She is no princess, but high
school pupils, and for palace she has
an apartment Its number is 41O w.
One Hundred and Thirtieth street,
New York city.
And in neighborhood-we almost
said kingdom, but, of course, we
should say-block, lives a young man
by name Jack Wolfson. If Mr. Wolf
son lived in the long ago he would
go CARRIED in colorful glory and his
trappings would be of satin or shin
ing steel. But, being modern, he
despises such display, and his clothes
are correctly inconspicuous They fit
his trim form with the perfection of
the proverbial glove, and his friends
know him as the modern Beau Brum-
mel.
Now these two had only to look on
one another to love, but it's hard
work looking in Manhattan, whose
myriads do more to separate twin
souls than any medieval stepmother
For years they lived together, not
more than three blocks apart, but
they never met until five months ago

shouted the conductor.
Miss Minerva woke with a start.
She had been in a reverie. Here she
was at her block. She rushed for the
car door-tl1e conductors hand was
on the bell-and instantly stepped in
to the street.
Oh, the tragedy Of shoes that are
too large. 1t is only comparable to

stepped. The shoe slipped. She was

slipper had stayed behind. Surely i'm

that the fairy wand had reduced to a

way.
Sadly she hobbled to drug store
and telephoned for taxi to take her
home.
Now, if Mr.. Wolfson witnessed the
accident he is not willing to admit it.
So you must lay the sequel to his
scrupulous honesty, or, shall we say,
to his discerning sentimentality?
He, too, was on his way home and
in the same car. When he prepared

able crop that can be grown under the
present food and feed emergency. A
great part of the increased acreage is
poor upland which will make a prof
liable yield only by the use of COM
mercial fertilizer 1t has always paid
me to apply 200 or 800 pounds of fer
ullzer around my corn the second or
third blowing, or when the corn was
between one and three feet high"
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 it will
pay to fertilize a patch of sorghum
and peas with a fertilizer containing
from 10 to II per cent phosphoric acid
and u to 2 per cent nitrogen.
Cotton is not generally recognized
as food crop, but the country must
not overlook the fact that an acre of
cotton that will produce a 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 it will be i'm
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 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 to per cent phosphoric acid
and from to per cent nitrogen.
This fertilizer should be applied to
corn when it 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 200
pounds of a fertilizer Analysing II per
cent available phosphoric acid and 2b
per cent nitrogen This is to be ap-
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 $100 invested
in fertilizer at this time means from
Sc to So next fall, and a badly needed
commodity is brought into existence.
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1917-06-06

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 $50 per
cent, corn 100 per cent, hay SO per
cent, beef and pork 100 per cent,
whereas the cost of fertilizer has adj
Fanced only rs per cent.
The wheat crop this year is short.
and it has been estimated that 300,
OOO,OO0 bushels of the 1917 wheat crop
mas 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
ne is limited in his credit and he finds
II 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. If the farmer hasn't the
money to hire labor, under present CON
ditions, it will pay him to borrow
money on his crop to pay sufficient
labor to cultivate and fertilize his
crops adequately. After each rain a
dust mulch should be made with the
cultivator. We need not expect a
bountiful harvest unless the soil mois7
ture is conserved. AS a general rule,
the amount of corn produced is in di-
rect proportion to the amount of wa
ter conserved in the soil by thorough
cultivation.
Hon. j. A. Wade, Commissioner of
Agriculture of Alabama in a circular
letter issued to the farmers makes
this statement,-"I is evident that the
acreage planted to corn in the State
of Alabama has been increased 40 to so
per cent and the farmers are to be
congratulated for taking such wise
step. A large yield of corn is greatly
needed and is probably the most profit

1t is no use explaining what these
things are, for everybody on the farm
has been made to pull them up from
beside the corn many times. They
are more properly called "tillers," and
probably your boy has told you many
times that corn did just as we'll with
as without these tillers. l go a little
further to state that after seeing if
experimental on three years in sue
cesslon, | am convinced that corn with
tillers or suckers" produces more
bushels per acre than corn that has
been freed from them. In Nebraska
at the experiment station this test was
made five years in succession and
each time the yield was decreased bv
pulling the tillers.
You will find that when corn ;s
planted in the regular way and a good
stand is made, very few tillers are
seen in the field. This is one wav of
proving that it is natural for stalks of
corn to grow very near each other.
and II a poor stand is made the suck
ers seem to try to restore the crop to
its desired thickness.
Corn planted on poor soil has few
tlllers to trouble it, but corn planted
IN more fertile fields is we'll supplied
with them. 1t is self-evident that the
different types of soil govern the pro-
duction of tillers. Try it yourself and
see how it turns out.

merchant and business man who
know the folly cannot help warming
those who can take warning They
know of the extreme want that must
inevitably follow such madness. 1t is
going to be hard for such people to
live. 1t is going to be hard to keep
such labor going 1t is going to cost
the man higher up when the final reck-
oning is taken and the man higher up
ought to be teaching thrift as he never
has taught it before.
There are many, many small farm
owners, tenants and laboring people
who have learned to save little of
the earnings, but there are so many
thousands who have not learned to do
this that it becomes necessary to be-
gin teaching it. The man who runs a
big business enterprise, or a business
of any kind that requires labor ought
to make it a regular duty to teach
every employee the Importance of
having something ahead. These are
prosperous times for those who pro-
duce food stuffs or have anything to
sell. Good prices prevail and it ought
to be remembered that all the goods
these thousands of people buy later
will come high. 1t is going to require
a great deal more money to carry
through another season than in any
heretofore. And along with it all is
sure to come doubt and business uncer-
tainty of great significance.
1t is not the purpose of this article
to excite unduly or oyerdraw the pic
ture. 1t is certainly time to remem-
Der that there is wiser thing that
can be done than to literally burn up
all the wealth that has come to the
shiftless and thriftless element among
us. We are indeed in a fine state
But it is the best time in the world to
teach thrift. We ought to be saving
some of the wealth and we ought to
help to practice economy where it
has not been the habit heretofore. 1t
will mean something at the right time.
And it is part of the duty of every
man to impress it now In month,
say two months at the longest, things
will be somewhat different There is
like playing safe.
