And said these two made mud

The three schools of philosophy
BY which mankind have ever pouteu'

The corn crop Is the bread of the

Our farmers must not fail to pro-

and peas with fertilizer containing
from 10 to II per cent phosphoric acid
and 112 to 2 per cent nitrogen.
Cotton Is not generally recognized
as a 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 1t will be i'm
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 900
pounds of fertilizer for cotton and
corn ,analyzing 8 to 8 per cent phos-
phoric acid and 2 to per cent nitro
gen. For field crops in the coastal
plain, we would recommend from 800
to 400 pounds Of a fertilizer analyzing
from to per cent phosphortc acid
and from to per cent nitrogen.
This fertilizer should be applied to
corn when 1t 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 analyzing IL per
cent available phosphoric acid and PA
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 $1.00 invested
in fertilizer at. this time means from
Sc to So next fall, and a badly needed
commodity is brought into existence.

we predicted that it would not

miserable prophecy we have
said very little about how long

close in less than thirty days and
that it will not last more than
ten years longer. That's about
as near as we can guess.

clearly shown that there is

and that the need is urgent.
There has been board of heath
here all these years, but no en-

very little work has been done.
A new board was appointed
last year, but for some reason
the members never took the
oath. Another board had been
appointed by the mayor this
year, but these men had neo-
lccted to qualify also. The
meeting Monday night named a
committee to call on the mayor
aud members of the board of
health, and Try to get the board
in legal working shape. so that
the various needs along sanitary
lines may be attended to at once.
Stables, hog pens and privies
were named as the chief breed

Captain Mecaffrey Of the Steamer
Quincy and Other River Men, See
Reviva! OF Old
Days.

The revival OF the northern Missis-
sippi as commercial highway will
bring back the dusky roustabout, the
individual about whom has revolved
much of the river lore and who has
furnished much of the amusement at
the docks, especially in northern
waters.
The negro has almost entirely disap-
peared from the Mississippi. None can
explain why. Some contend that the
rivers waning activity turned the
darkies from the stream. Others hold
that the strenuous labors Of their
fathers have been SHE'D at by their
sons. The result is that the familiar
freight handler on the Mississippi
steamboats, now is too old and his son
Is in other walks Of life.
Capt. J. A. McCaffrey, Of the steamer
Quincy and familiar figure for years
on the river, believes that the Ger.
tainty Of revival Of navigation will

footed rousteJbouts will have his place
These men are certain to solve the
problem. The demands Of the army
and the navy are taking white men
The draft army will take countless
others. The shortage will be made UP
by the negroes on the Mississippi
steamboats,.
The passing Of the first governm emit
steamer, Mississippi, bearing agrfcul
tural implements and fuel. early this
week served to quicken interest In the
Mississippi and its possibilities. In
every port along the great stream the
boat conferred conversation on the CO
operation Of the government in the
movement to emphasize to Mississippi
towns the great asset flowing at theii
DOORS That other steamers and barge
will be placed In the service in the
near future. Is indicated by the prep
eration being made at most OF the
cities to place their docking facilities
in shape. Steamboat companies report
that there has grown during the las
few weeks a remarkable. enthusiastic
interest in the river among shippers
Their patriotism has been appealed tc
and agents say the inquiries from
shippers have increased remarkably
The situation Is emphasized IN WI
mona where G. B. Mallory, livery
operator, took the agency for one
steam boat company as a slueiiue. A4e
demands upon him from shippers made
the work so strenuous that he re
signed.
The fact that the department OF
commerce has sent an expert, Ralph
Parker, into the field has further tend
ed to rivet attention Of the shippers
upon necessity of patronizing the river
as a means Of relieving the railway
car shortage.
The completion Of the Minneapolis
dam has been great factor in the re
yiyaI of interest. The Mississippi ls
being widely advertised and the cities
along is shores are being aroused to
realization that they have the power
| to control freight rates and to assist
the railways in meeting the ne"
problems this year.
