THE FARMERS ARE URGED no
ORDER FERTlLIZER
EARLY.

TIE shortage of freight cars may
seriously delay the fertili er move
ment and defeat the plant early"
idea that 1s being advocated by
everyone engaged in the anti+boll
weevil campaign. As a rule, the
average farmer does not concern
himself over railway problems, car
shortage, ETC., because relatively few
of them ship in car lot quantities,
but if the present car shortage ex-
lists at the time the farmers usually
order out their fertilizer, no matter
whether the quantity is one ton or a
car load, if the cars cannot be had In
greater number than the present
supply, many farmer will be disap-
pointed by not receiving his fertiliz-
er in time to plant his cotton and
other crops early and thus take the
first practical step to get ahead of
the boil weevil.
The Farm Improvement Depart
ments Of the railroads are trying in
every way they can to induce all
farmers to order their fertilizer i'm
mediately in order that they may
not be disappointed by delays owing
to car shortage, congestion at termf-
nal points, and many other reasons
which may cause serious loss II this
important part of the farmers work
is not attended to before it is too
late. Next to early blowing and
preparation probably there is no
more important thing for the farm
'er to do than to order his fertilizer
out in advance Of the time he needs
it.

MRS. MARY j. CLARK.

On the morning of January 20,
1917, God, in His infinite wisdom,
called to her heavenly home, Mrs.
Mary j. Clark, a faithful and beloved
member of the Methodist Epicopal
Church, South, at Madisonville, La.
Mrs. Clark fell and fractured her
collar bone Saturday. January Is,
and a few days later contracted d
very severe cold, which caused her
death on the above date. She was
born October Is, 1929, having pass
ed the ripe old age of IS years, AMI
enjoyed splendid health. She leaves
four children, as follows: w. }.
Clark, DeRidder, La; Mrs. E. W.
Washer, New Orleans; Mrs. H. c.
Brown, West Lake. and Mrs. Louis
Galatas, jacksonville, with whom
she made her home, and number OF
grandchildren and host of friends
to mourn her loss. She was very
active in church, home and commun:-
ty, having joined the church at the
age of IL. Her true and loya, life
of devotion to her church, her fam
ily. and her friends, will ever be an
inspiration to those who knew and
loved her for the worth of her char
acter. Heartfelt sympathy is extend

IRISH Potatoes.
l am once more ready to push a
high priced farm crop and that is the
good cid "spud." No one can re-
member when this item retailed for
such high price as it has during
the last year. AS said in an article
last summer, there is a cause for it
and a good one. The 1916 spring
crop was very short, due to unfavor-
able seasons. The 1916 crop was
short from the same cause, and from
the fact that many had lost money
the year previous and did not care
to try it again, therefore. at this time
there are fewer potatoes on the
mar CI Ludu dt any OAC tlnV IA many
years. I am basing my opinion
from crop reports from other states
and from the way they sell. II
there were few made Of course the
price must be high. The war In
Europe has reduced the crop an,
supply over there and many thous-
ands Of bushels have been exported.
All this helps to make almost a
"spud'' famine in this country. l
advise every farmer who can do so
to plant as many potatoes this spring
as he can get in properly. The seed
are very high, OF course, but more
profit can be made in the long run
for the selling price will also be high
this time. Plant some if you cannot
plant many. l would think two
acres would not be too many where
a farmer is fixed to handle them.
Now is the time to organize for
car lot shipments, as the price is
sure to be high. There is more

The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1917-08-17

Prohibition, with population in 1910
of 50,000000 would be forced to ac-
cept a policy they do not want by
al 100000 people living in the other
SO states of the Union by pointing to
the fact that of these II anti-Prohibi-
ton states which Senator Underwood
named only two of them-New Yorl;
and Massachuse tts-gave solid vote
in the Senate against the Prohibition
amendment, while Michigan and In
diana named in the II by Senator I'm
derwood gave a solid vote for the
amendment. The rest of the states
gave divided vote.
The Post says that still a. further
test will be given in the House, where
the II states named by Senator I'm
derwood have representation of 23S
as against 1917 from the other 80 states.
The Post thinks there are some valid
arguments against national Prohibi-
ton and intimates that it would be
just to compensate the liquor inter-
ests, but concludes:
1t is desirable that calm view
of the whole movement be taken.
Let us begin by admitting that
the champions of the amendment
are proceeding strictly within
their legal rights. The way in
which the American people delib-
erately write their national policy
is in the constitution. They have
amended it to conform to their
wish in the matter of slavery and
that of the direct election of Sen
ators and the income tax. We
hope that they will before long
amend it SO as to give the vote to
women. And if they determine by
the processes laid down in the
fundamental law to amend it so as
to forbid the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors it is
their legal privilege so to do. For
this national policy they are en-
titled to urge in full force the ar
gument of national efficiency,
health and morality. The only
