II the southern farmer is to do his
share in producing foods for man and
beast, and, at the same time, grow cot
ton fibre for the nation, he must either
Increase his crop acreage, or else grow
considerably more per acre than Gus
tomary.
In view of the scarcity and high
price of labor at the present time,
it seems to be the part of wisdom
for farmers generally not to mate
rally increase the crop acreage, but
to increase the acre yields.
Increase Yield Per Acre
Acre yields can be increased by
better preparation Of the seed bed, by
the use OF good seed Of varieties adapt
ed to the region, by using more lib
eral application of the right kinds OF
fertilizers and by better cultivation of
the growing crops.
While all of these factors influence
acre yields, let us call particular at
tention at this time to the kind and
amount of fertilizer to be used. Prac-
tically all of the southern soils are
deficient in phosphoric acid, nitrogen
and potash and these must be supplied
in some form to get the largest yields
and biggest farm profits. While the
proper use of these materials will in,
crease the yields per acre and help
supply the nations needs, the wise
farmer will at the same time strive
to get the largest financial returns
from their use. To do this, he must
exercise care in buying them as well
rs in applying them.
The farmer should understand that
plants use fertilizers as foods only af
ter they have been dissolved by the
soil water, and that which is not sol
uble is not available to the plant. II
is to the farmers interest, therefore
to know that the fertilizers he is buy
ing are guaranteed to contain a stated
amount Of available plant food.

American-Made Potash
Good AS German Kind

If there is any doubt in the mind
of a farmer about using fertilizers con-
tanning American-made potash, in the
belief that it is not as good as that
which was formerly obtained from Ger
many, his mind can be set at rest by
any chemist or agricultural authority.
Any one who knows in what form the
potash exists in the American-made
product will declare that muriate or
sufiate of potash is the same to the
plant whether it be obtained from
American sources or Germany. and
that the plant asks no questions as to
where it originated, but feeds On II
Just the same.

For the best results in the cultiVa-
ton OF general field crops, materials
carrying phosphoric acid. nitrogen and
some potash should be applied. Pot
ash is more deficient IN the light and
sandy soils than in clay soils. Not
less than $50 to 200 pounds Of COM
plete fertilizers per acre should be
used and hundreds of farmers find
more than this amount to be most
profitable. Fertilizers containing these
necessary plant foods are generally es-
sential for the most profitable produo-
ton of all field crops. Since there is
such a worldwide need for crops, and
since farm products are higher now
than ever before. it follows that the
farmer who strives to fulfill the ma
tion's needs just now by the use OF
such plant food as is necessary, Sc
cures at the same time the largest pos
sible financial returns for himself.

M. A. WALL COMPLETES
HIS LIES WORK
Veteran Railroad Agent Of n, C,

burg, Passes to His
Reward.

M. n. Ndl'S lOA neatly Unity
years agent for the N, c. & St.
L. R,y at South Pittsburg in
both freight and passenger de-
partments, died very suddenly of
heart disease Friday at his home
at Ebenezer, east of Jasper. He
died in active life, having been to
South Pittsburg that day to at
tend to his usual duties, and his
death is commented on as that of
one who dies in harness, fulfilling
the important duties of a position
of trust.
Mr.. Wall went to and fro from
his work in the South Pittsburg
office in his car and Friday morn
ing beginning to elunwell about
the noon hour decided to return
home. He went to the garage
and asked to have his car pre-
pared and returned home all right,
altho still feeling unwell. His
wife gave him attention with
simple remedies and he got to
feeling much better. He sat
down near the fire in his easy
chair and asked to have the con-
GLIDING chapters of a story Fire
fly in France, which he and his
wife were reading aloud from the
Saturday Evening Post, read to
him. She commenced reading it
to him but when on the last para
graph was startled by his actions
as the death stroke came and in
few minutes he was dead. His
son. Marion Wall, was summoned
from Chattanooga as soon as his
father was first taken sick but
did not arrive until 1.-THE morning
after his death.
He leaves besides his wife and
son two brothers, J. c. Wall, of
near Hollywood, Ala, who on
account of the terrible condition
of the roads, had to walk a large
portion of the distance to get to
Bridgeport, and W. A. Wall, of
Arkansas, A sister, Mrs. Walter
Parker, resides at Hickory, Miss
Interment was made in thece
etery adjoining the Baptist
Church in South Pittsburg Sun
day. Mr.. Wall was member of
the Episcopal Church and services
! preceding interment were held
in Christ Church of that denomi-
nation, under direction of Rev.
M. A. Rich, pastor. The funeral
services were very largely at
tended and the floral emblems
were very beautiful. The NJ, c.
& St. L. R'y was represented by
several officials. to show their ap-
probation of the completed work
of a good man. Mr.. Wall was
placed in charge of the South
Pittsburg depot in 1890, and this
would make him twenty seven
| years of continuous service.
The attendance at the funeral
both at the church and at the
grave was very large. and was
the testimonial of a large circle
of friends as to his worth as 6
man and citizen.
