SAVE ALL MANURE, STRAW
AND LEAVES FOR FERTILIZER

With commercial fertilizers scarce
and high priced, every pound of
homemade fertilizers should be care
fully saved and used in 1918. With
nitrogen at 35 cents. phosphoric acid
cent and potash 80 cents a pound
when bought in commercial fertili-
zers, it is of interest and value to cal
culate the plant food values of the
materials commonly found around
the average Southern farm.
Stable manure, of which we waste
tremendous amount, contains in
each ton about ten pounds cf nitro
gen, worth $3.50; five pounds of
phosphoric acid, worth $50; and ten
pounds of potash, worth So, or to-
tai of $3.50 per ton. To this we
would add a value of at least So per
ton for the humus value of the ma
nure and because of it's promotion of
beneficial bacterial activities. Thus.
where potash is needed, as is The
case over much of the Southeast. q
ton of manure is worth about SO,
while in those sections where potash
is not needed, ton of manure is
well worth about 81. When we CON
sider that an animal weighing 200
pound will in year produce eiyht to
ten tons of manure, we can BEGIN to
see the Importance of saving all
possible of this material To do this,
cheap sheds for housing the stock at
night should be provided, plenty of
straw or other absorbent materials
should be used in the stables and
barnyard, and all manure should be
pat on the fields as soon as practi-
cable after it is made.
Straw and leaves are another
source of plant food and humus that
should not be overlooked. These will
probably average higher than stable
manure in nitrogen, and fully as
high in phosphoric acid and potash.
Moreover, since they contain less
water than the average manure, ;he:,
hu = u5-making value will be consi-
dcrab!y greater. When other work
is not pressing, se"cral days may vycll
be devoted to hauling these mater
rialS out Of tho woods and putting
them on the fields. In the mean inc,
hccp fire out of the woods. Frr,ili-
Zinc material worth SO shoyll not
22 sent up in smoke.
We are not suggesting thrt ,hcse
materials be used % take ;hr place
f commercials, but rather tnat one
,e used to supplement the other. As
, matter Of fact, present prices for
r'cticaliy everything we raise just

Dear friend /:

right after spending a few days very
pleasantly in the Sunny South. | am
glad that ! went when | did for |
met many friends at the Count Fair
that | would otherwise have misseu.
l tell you if our fair continues to i'm
prove we will soon have the finest
one in the South
Though our Section is still in
Pennsylvania we realize it is not go
ing to be here always, for we expect
to go to France pretty soon and stay
for while and then come home
saw quite change in the people
of the South while home last. When
we enlisted SO many people didn't
realize that we were at war, but |
w,,a very glad to see that they had
opened their eyes and are standing
behind US. You have no idea how
good it makes Us feel to know that
the people Of Am, RIGA are with rs
and are expecting Us to win the war.
We will promise our people of
America to do our part AT the front
if they will only see that we lave
something to eat. That is the most
Important thing facing us just now
S" We hope our people wont go to
sleep on the job and plant all cotton
as though we could eat that. When
food gets so scarce that money can't
buy it what use will money be? If,
th.s war continues two years longer
and our people don: raise the i ,..n
eats at home food will be valued
more than money.
While | was reading The Advertise
cr this morning | saw a letter from
NJ. .0urcUc" Cauldcr. | know Laur-

singing THE Old Time Religion"
very much but we do sing "kaiser |
