Fertilizer INDUSTRY APP
PEALS FOR EARLY ORDERS
Shortage Of Labor Reflects on coun-
trys Food Production.

ny the irony of fate, two Of the In
dustries upon which the production OF
food depends have been most seriously
crippled by the call of war. These are
farming and the manufacture of fer
tliEers. Both have been hard hit By
the shortage of labor. and the fertiliser
business particularly has suffered By
having Its most important raw mate
rails taken over BY the government for
the manufacture of munitions.
BY working hard and utilizing labor
saving machinery and methods to the
fullest degree, both have managed to
produce their usual quota Of goods so
far, but Ii Is hard to say how long this
will last.
The fertilizer industry Is even now
sending out an appeal to its customers
to order and accept for shipment in
November and December, goods which
would normally go out In February
and March. This 1t seems will mate
rally lessen the pressure in the spring,
which has always been the peak Of
production" period. By spreading the
manufacturing and shipping season
over a longer period more goods can
be made, even with fewer men.
This request ought to meet with q
hearty response from the farmers. Not
only will 1t insure more fertilizer,
which is badly needed, but it will help
the farmers by spreading their labor
over the time when they have the least
to do. Hauling fertilizer to the farm
takes time and labor, and IL it can be
done in winter, when there is least to
do, and removed from the spring sea-
son when there Is most to do, 1t ought
to react to favor both producer and
consumer.

A Hill Of Potatoes Grown With FertiI-
izer In 1917 at Hayward, Wisconin.

only two fist-big potatoes to hill.
The average yield OF the United
States. however is slightly less than
one such potato to hill.
Now for the figuring. There are
about $4,000 hills to the acre. At least
there should be, with normal planting.
When there are not approximately this
number Ii means that the seed was
poor, or the man on the planter went
to sleep, or the soil was In poor condi-
ton, or that there really wasn't plant
food enough to grow good crop.
Not every hill can be like the illus
tration. That would represent a 400
bushel crop. Many soils can't furnish
plant food enough unless helped out
by fertilizer. Yet 1t costs just as much
to pillow and plant for an average 100
bushel crop as for one that goes 400.
1t costs just as much for seed and ii
costs just as much for land rent. The
big difference is on the income side.
The bank account for a 400-bushel
crop Is what makes ii so attractive.

WHERE THE SURPLUS P0TA-
TOES ARE GROWN

A short crop of potatoes is little less
than a national calamity. Primarily.
Of course, it affects growers by cutting
down on returns. Next 1t affects all
the merchants and industries located
In potato-growing regions, because 1t
cuts down the money In circulation
and the demand for manufactured
products. Finally, the effects of the
small crop reach into almost every
home in the land, for prices rise great
ly and the "high cost of living" is still
further increased.
OF the states east OF the Mississippi,
Wisconsin, Michigan and Maine pro-
1uce large surpluses-veryl large. With
Minnesota these are the great potato
The Belding banner-news. (Belding, Mich.) 1918-1973, 1918-11-27

growing states. Blights attacks, short
ige Of fertilizer, shortage Of help or
poor seed-any one Of the numberless
factors which injure the crop in any Of
:hese states-affect the whole country
As well.
New York, Vermont, New Hamp-
shire, Virginia and Delaware also pro-
duce small surpluses OF the tuber.
They grow enough potatoes for their
own use. and small quantity for ex-
port. The other states, however-the
great states Of the corn belt-Ken-
lucky, West Virginia and all the great
South, have to buy nearly all the po-
iatoes they consume.
1t is too early yet to prophesy as to,
the 1919 crop. Whatever Its size 1t
will be consumed. Anything thet helps
In growing it must have the support Of
every one. Seed must be carefully
conserved. Fertilizer must move
promptly, and be on the farm, ready
for use, when spring breaks. Perhaps
the best way to handle this latter prob
lem is for farmers to place orders now,
and .hen, when they are hauling the
present crop to market, take back a
load OF fertilizer.

A PATRIOTIC DUTY

You were asked to give up
wheat, and you did 1t. You
were asked to economic on
sugar. and you did 1t. You were
asked to observe heatless Mon
day and gasless Sundays--and
you did that too.
These were wartime meas
ures designed to accomplish
specific purposes. There is an
other wartime measure which
every farmer and truck gardener
who expects to use fertilizers
next spring must observe.
Fertilizers must be ordered
now and shipment accepted at
once. Fertilizer factory forces
have been severely cut down
and it Is only by starting In
now and running every day I'M
til spring that anything APP
preaching an adequate supply
of fertilizers can be produced.
The farmer must help by get
ting the finished goods out Of
the factory and out Of the way
so more goods can be made.

THE KIND OF POTATOES You
LIKE TO GROW

Did you ever do any figuring on the
ease Of getting big crop of potatoes?
II not, let's do II. But before we be-
gin just make guess as to how much
you must get In each hill to make q
really worthwhile yield.
A potato of the size of your fist
weighs about half pound. If you av-
erage only two Of these to hill, or
four tubers just half as large, you
have pound to HILL Yet nobody
who claims to be potato grower will
ever admit that he Is satisfied with

POTATO Feelings.

Discard the seed potatoes which
show "small, black dirt specks that

about the size of q pin head, and in
stead of being dirt are caused BY GER
