American.Made Potash
Good AS German Kind

II 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 1t be obtained from
American sources or Germany, and
that the plant asks no questions as to
where it originated, but feeds on It
just the same.

Quick Acting Form.

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 produc'
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.
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1918-02-28


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
Tor farmers generally not to mate
rally increase the crop acreage, but
to increase the acre yields.
+. Increase Yield Per Acre
g Acre yields can be increased by
better preparation Of the seed bed, by
the use of good seed Of varieties adapt
cd to the region, by using a 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
dsdcient 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. 1t
is to the farmers interest, therefore,
to know that the fertilizers he is buy
ing are guaranteed to contain stated
amount Of available plant food.

Raise Home Supplies
And Some To Spare

"Store bought" foods and feeds are
too high priced for any farmer to pay,
even if he could find them for sale.
The wise southern farmer will get in
a crop Of corn and velvet beans, pota-
toes, vegetables Of various kinds,
grow few hogs and poultry and 9th
erwise look out for the needs of his
family and his tenants. With all
Of food products bringing such good
prices, the southern farmer should do
patriotic bit if he would raise enough
to spare some for the armies while he
is raising his cotton crop.

SEVEN REASONS FOR
SAVINGS.

There are seven good reasons
why the government has issued
War Savings Stamps:
1. Save for your ceuntry's
sake, because it is now spending
millions a day. and must ind
most Of the money out OF saw
inss.
2. Save for your own sake.
because work and wages are
plentiful and, while prices are
high now, a dollar will buy more
after the war.
3. Save because, when you
spend, you make ether people
work for you, and tAe work oe
everyone Is needed now to win
the war.
4. Save because, by saving. yeu
make things cheaper for every
one, especially for those who are
poorer tQdu you.
s. Save because, by going
without you relieve the strain
on ships, docks. and railways,
and make transport cheaper and
quicker.
8. Save because, BY saving,
yox set an example that makes
Il easier for the next man 70
save. A saving nation Is an
earning nation.
7. Save because every time
you save you help twice, first
when you don't spend, and again
when you lend to the nation. ~

GERMAN FACTIONS
STILL At ODDS
Political Strife over Peace NegO-
tiatiOns Shows No Sign
of Abatement.
HERTLING SPEAKS FRIDAY.
Hungarian Cabinet Resigns-Russia In
snid to BE Mt Point Of Declaring
War on Roumania.

Although the peace pour parlers be-
tween the Bolsheviki and the Teutonic
allies have been resumed at Brest-
LitoVsk, the peace by agreement Sec
ton or the German populace and some
or the newspapers continue their ex-
pressions Of dissatisfaction with the
ambitions of the pan -Germanists and
the terms that have been advanced by
the German delegates at est-Litoysk
as the basis for a peace.
Amsterdam dispatches announce
that an understanding has been reach
ed between the political and military
parties in Germany on the basis Of the
Russian program of no annexations or
indemnities in the east and leaving to
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, in
case of German victory, the liberty
of dealing with possible annexations
in the west, but the evidence tends to
show that the factions are still at Odds
Additional meetings at which speak
ers endeavored to outline the view
point of the militaristic element have
been broken up. and 1t is announced
that Chancellor Won Hertling is to be
permitted to deliver his delayed adj
dress on Germany's war aims to the
main committee Of the Reichstag next
Friday, for which the country has
been clamoring.
Adding to the political strife in Germany
and Austria comes the announcement Of
the resignation of the Hungarian cabinet
due to the conduct of the war. Failure
to obtain adequate support for the mill
tary program put forward by the cabinet
is given as the reason for the resignation
of the ministry. The program included the
formation of an Independent Hungarian
army, which Emperor Charles vetoed.
The situation between Russia and Rou-
mania apparently is growing acute. On
demand Of the American ambassador and
the heads of the other diplomatic missions
accredited to Russia the Bolshevik au-
thorities have released the Roumanian
minister and the attaches of the Rou-
manian legation who were arrested Sun
day. The council of national commissioners
of Russia now has sent an ultimatum to
Roumania calling for the immediate re-
lease Of members of the Bolsheviki ar
rested recently in Roumania. A rupture
of relations with ROumania and most
energetic" military measures are threat
ened for noncompliance within "a hours.
Except in the Italian theatre the mill
tary activities are still confined to small
affairs carried out by raiding parties and
bombardments on various sectors. The
Austro-Germans both i'm the mountain re-
gion of northern Italy and around lower
Piave river have made vicious counter at
tacks. after heavy preparatory artillery
work, to recapture the positions wrested
from them early in the week. All the at
tempts were without result.
Again there has been considerable aerial
activity in this region in which five enemy
airplanes were sent to earth-four by Brit
ish and Italian aviators and the other by
