The common sense of the farmer is
his best asset. No amount of outside
help, no heaping up of pity can avail
him much. He will have to be the
architect of his own fortune. There
is not farmer in the county that does
not know more than he puts into prac-
tice. Fact is, most Of them would do
vastly better than they do if they had
the necessary capital. The lack OIL
money is one of his chief lacks, and he
knows this as we'll as any one else
knows it. The present high price of
all farm products helps the farmer
who was in easy circumstances, but
pinches the unprepared man. 1t is a
fact that with everything in the way
of food for man and supplies for stock
produced in abundance the price would
be low on these articles. Cabbage at
10 cents a pound looks attractive to
the producer. But two cents a pond is
the normal price, and it is the price
that will prevail with the coming of
normal production and normal times
Hog raising looks attractive with ba-
con selling around 20 cents a pound
But this price will not prevail with
the coming of normal times. This
year, particularly, the farmer knows
he must raise feed stuffs. He must
thing possible for the feeding of man
and beast. He cannot go wrong here.
Then, he knows that he must raise all
the cotton he can.

SHOULD BE CENSORED.

The moving picture show is thing
of modern, very modern times. 1t
has come to stay, for it has in it vast
potentialities. Like all great creations
that have come to our modern civiliZa-
tion it has it's dangers. 1t is, within
itself, neither good nor bad, but has
the capacity to serve on the side of
either force. If the business can be
kept clean it is wonderful source
of worthy amusement and large fac
tor in the distribution of knowledge.
If it is to pander to the base and bru-
tai, and to make sin attractive, it is
capable of untold harm The indelible
impression left upon the mind, par
ticularly the child's mind is beyond all
calculation. These impressions should
be wholesome, clean, moral.
There is altogether too great lem
iency on the part of the public as to
what should be shown. There must be
radical change in this respect or the
thinking public will realize that the
picture show is thing to be con-
demned in no uncertain words There
should be a strict censorship of the
moving picture show. And each com
munity should protect itself, not trust
ing to some unknown and perhaps fic-
titious censorship. Any film corpora
tion can have at the beginning and the
end of the picture: PASSED by the
Blank Board of Censors." That is not
worth the space it takes up on the
film. Each community should demand
clean pictures and should have board
of censors of its own.
The brutal, cold-blooded murders
pictured so often, can but lead to ?
harvest Of murder, for the impression
BILE. The lascivious, immoral repro
ductions of vulgar scenes, the too
often repeated scenes in which one
man is too attentive to another mans
wife, should be put under the ban. The
cold-blooded sex pictures should be
put under the ban. The fact is that it
is Of frequent occurrence that young
men and young women sit through the
reproduction of scenes that are not
only repulsive, but are actually horri-
flying. If the moving picture is to be
saved to it's possible good use it must
be put upon higher plane.

WHAT THE CROPS ARE ASKING FOR
Soil Can Be Built Up Instead of Run Down
Increasing

bear in mind that the best way he can
fight the boil weevil is to force his
cotton to a quick growth and to an
early maturity. Many farmers In the
boil weevil district, are finding that
peanuts and soy beans are splendid
substitutes for cotton. Unless these
crops are we'll fertiliZed, however, with
the fertilizer carrying high percentage
Of phosphate, good yields cannot be
expected.
How to Tell What Is Necessary
The farmer can oftentimes deter
mine the element most needed in his
fertilizer by noting the manner Of
growth Of cotton on his different soil
types. When the growth is slow and
the plants have a yellow, unhealthy
look, nitrogen (or ammonia) should be
applied in rather large amounts. II,
however, the plants look vigorous. but
are not fruiting well, phosphoric acid
should be used literally.
Generally speaking, for poor soils. the
most important element of a fertilizer
is nitrogen, and the next most import
ant is phosphorous. Therefore, for
poor soils we would recommend under
present war conditions, which makes
potash scarce, a fertilizer for cotton
and corn analyzing about 8 per cent
available phosphoric acid and per
cent ammonia and 2 per cent potash.
For peanuts II per cent phosphorlc
acid, per cent ammonia and per
cent potash. For fertile soils we would
recommend for cotton and corn, fer
tilizer analyzing II per cent available
phosphoric acid, 2 per cent ammonia
and per cent potash, and for peanuts,
a fertilizer analyzing IL per cent phos-
phoric acid, l IL per cent ammonia
ana per cent potash. For tne sandy
loan soils of the coastal plain, pot
as sd is the most essential and for to-
sbacc0 and truck - -44u us.~ be- applied
in liberal amounts.
The reason that nitrogen or ammo
MIA Is so necessary an element for prac-
tically all soils is because the nitrates
are soluble in water, and are, there
fore, constantly teaching out Of the
land. The farmers should try to store
up as much nitrogen in the sof1 as
possible by growing such crops as
beans, peas, clover, vetches, ETC., which
pants add nitrogen ito the soil from
TIC atmosphere. Practically all soils
Of the South are well adapted to the
growing of these legumes.
If, however, crops are grown in ro-
tation with legumes, it will still be
necessary to use commercial forms of
nitrogen to obtain the best results.
While nitrogen Is the main element OF
a fertilizer, on poor land phosphoric
acid is the most essential and in prac-
ticalfy all Of the tests that have been
made in the South. better results have
been obtained with soluble phosphoric
acid than with finely ground phosphate
rocks or floats.
The Starkville news. (Starkville, Miss.) 1902-1960, 1917-03-23

Recently a Southern fertilizer con-
cern obtained large order for acid
phosphate from Holland at $55 per ton.
Contrast this $50. 90 per ton with $1,000
per ton paid by the Southern farmer.
II the Dutch farmer can afford to
pay S55 per ton for acid phosphate
and make 1t pay. how much more can
q Southern farmer obtain when he
can buy about three times as much
phosphate with the same money?
Dutch farmers are shrewd and Thrift
ty They have developed agriculture
to q very high state of efficiency. and
they know quite we'll what can be
done with acid phosphate at $55 per
ton. Their land is not poor. To the
contrary II is highly developed and
fertile Every, rod that can possibly
be used for agriculture is cultivated
like garden They have found that
no matter how rich their soil, fertlllZ-
ing 1t pays Out of their experience
they find that it pays them now to
invest as much as $55 per ton in acid
phosphate. .. ~--~
Aids In Combating Boil WeevlI
Under boil weevil conditions, early
maturing of cotton is essential. Acid
phosphate, of course, promotes the fru-
ition and maturing Of cotton. All ag-
ricultural authorities are now recon-
mending liberal use of acid phosphate
in fertilizers as an important measure
in combating the boil weevil.
II the Southern farmer had to pay
$55 per ton for acid phosphate, what
a disadvantage he would face, Since
he only pays about one-third this price,
how fortunately situated he is! Ma
ture has placed here in the South
great deposits of rock phosphate
which. when treated with sulphuric
acid, becomes acid phosphate. an ingre-
dent OF fertilizer.
Not only Is the Southern farmer ia
vored by reason of the natural de-
posits of phosphate materials, but, in
recent years, the South has become
a great manufacturer OF sulphuric
acid. Sulphuric acid has an import
ant place in many forms OF manufac-
turing. and is one Of the essentials

soy BEANS IN THE ROTATION

Inquiry-"Will you recommend a
rotation in which soy beans, cotton
and some other crop will be used?
Soy beans are highly recommended.
They are a legume and, therefore, do
not require much nitrogen. The hay
is abundant and the feeding value
hixh. The oil mills afford ready
market for the bean, and the cake
which is produced by the mills has
splendid feeding values.
A good rotation to follow is cotton
followed by corn with soy beans, fol-
lowed nv oats and cowpeas. For
southern conditions Hollybrook and
Mammonth Yellow are recommended.
