SUBMARINES AND SOIL FERTILITY
How the War Affects the Farmers Ability to Produce
Bumper Crops.

The grip OF the scourge OF the seas
is now, after months of warfare, felt
by the American farmer. When the
Lusitania went down the whole world
shivered with horror-horrOr at the
very savagery of the deed, yet few OF
us realized at the time that within a
comparatively short time the entire
world would, in one way or another, be
at the mercy of these newest and most
savage of all implements of war. Least
of all did the American farmer realize
that the submarine menace would have
any effect whatever on his ability to
raise crops and do his bit In the line
Of food production.
But II has The war itself In its
earliest day cut off supplies of potash.
Now the submarine warfare has re-
duced the supply Of Spanish pyrites
from which sulphuric acid is made.
This sulphurlc acid is used in the
manufacture of acid phosphate, and
also in the making OF complete fer
tilizers. without it raw rock phOs-

THE OVERSEAS ACRE FUND.

'Ths farmers OF France are In far
worse condition than perhaps you
know. They have literally lost every.
thing except their souls. After the
last retreat of the German army. the
entire countryside was devastated.
No living thing remained. no birds. no
animals, no trees, no erops-nothing.
Wells were poisoned. all vssdge Of
their former homes and buildings were
demolished"
Help 10 needed and needed quickly.
Our funds will be used 10 buy food,
clothing, farming implements. fertil-
izer, seeds, live stock, building ma
terials. and other necessities as re-
ported TO us by the War Relief Clear
ancs House. Every gift will be marked,
Given with gratitude and good will
from the farmers Of Amsriea-through
their Overseas Acre Fund" The
above statement is from a pamphlet
issued by the Overseas Acre Fund,
which is carrying on a campaign 10
help the farmers Of France.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1917-12-12

tilizer which would usually serve APP
proximately 10000 acres of corn, OF
wheat, or Of any other cereal crop.
II diminishes by this much the ability
of the farmer to utilize to advantage
his short supply of farm labor, tn
grow sufficient crops. and at the same
time give up TO military service the
boys of the farm.
Domestic Pyrites Help.
But this doesn't mean that we shall
have no fertilizer. All over the cOun-
try there are small domestic deposits
Of pyrites. These can be and are be-
ing manufactured into sulphuric acid
for fertilizer use and II looks as
though there will be enough. But the
freight trade on these domestic pyrites
is higher than that of Spanish pyrites,
and the quality often lower. The cost
OF labor In mining is always higher,
and the cost of handling greater.
These facts mean inevitably an in
crease in the cost of acid phosphate
and complete fertilizer. Fortunately,

phate has but little agricultural value.
and many materials now used In fer
tilizers coVld not be included.
Pyrites Carried at Low Rates.
These Spanish pyrltes are usually
shipped from the port Of Huelva on
the southwest coast Of Spain, this side
Of the Gibraltar Gateway. Mediter-
ranean freghters returning from Eu-
rope take on these pyrltes at very low
freight rates, even almost as ballast.
From Huelva the pyrites are carried
TO Charleston, to Savannah, to Nor
folk, to Baltimore, and points north.
At these places the pyrites are burned,
the sulphur separated and turned into
sulphuric acid. Later on. ton for ton
this acid Is mixed with rock phosphate,
and In this way the acid phosphate of
commerce is produced. In other fac
tories this acid phosphate Ia mixed
with the blood. bone and tankage of
great slaughter houses, and with other
materials carrying nitrogen, for the
production OF the complete fertilizers
on which depends the production Of a
suficlent supply or food crops.
Some OF these Mediterranean
freighters have been Communicated
by the government, others have been
sent down by the dreaded submarine,
and still others are tied up In neutral
ports all over the world.
Conditions Are Serious.
Few farmers realize the serious ma
ture OF the case. Perhaps the aver
age boat In this trade will carry four
thousand tons of pyrites. Every ton
OF pyrites will make In the nelghbor-
hood Of four tons of acid phosphate.
or up 10 eight tons OF complete fer
tillzer. Every four thousand ton boat
taken from the pyrites carrying trade
means q loss of the acid for the fer

Use Hioh. Grade Fertilizers.

With fertilizers high priced and
scarce this year. II Is more important
THAI ever to use high-grade rather than
low grade goods. Plant food always
costs the consumer more In low-grade
formulate. and now there Ia an added
argument for high quality--less freight
space is required to move givsa
amount Of actual plant food.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1917-12-12

however, this increase in cost Is more
than balanced by the increase In price
which the farmer receives for his crop.
Were this not the case, the American
farmer and the American farm would
indeed be In q bad way.

By hitting the bull's.eye with unerr-

or sitting position, John C. Campbell
of L'Anse has qualified as sharp
shooter in the United States Marine
Corps. He recently made an excellent
score at "slow and rapid" fire, winning
the medal of sharpshooter and an in

John. who is son of John Campbell
Sr., of L'Anse, enlisted in the United
States Marine Corps at its Ksnsas City
recruiting station on February /, 1917.
He recently completed course of
training at Port Royal, S. C. Besides
the regular military subjects. the course
includes boxing, swimming and other
athletic training.
Dozens of recruits arrive daily at
Port Royal, and they take keen interest
