Liberty Motors to Europc.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The first
American-built battle planes are en-
route to France, nearly five months
ahead Of the original schedule.
In making this announcement to-
night Secretary Baker said the first
shipment, although in itself not
large, marks the final overcoming Of
many difficulties in building up this
new and intricate industry"
These planes" Mr.. Baker said,
are equipped with the firs Liberty
motors from machine production.
one of them in recent test surpass-
ed all records for speed and climbing
for planeslof that type. Engine pro-
duction, which began month ago,
is now on a quantity basis and the
peak production will be reached
In few weeks. Only the 18 cylin-
der type is being made. as develop
ments abroad have made it wise to
concentrate on the high-powered en-
gine instead Of the eight ,cylinder.

II the southern farmer Is to do his
sharein 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,
1t 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 arc
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 we'll
as IN applying them.
The farmer should understand that
plants use fertilizers as foods only az
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 arc guaranteed to contain a stated
amount Of available plant food.

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
moro 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, 1t 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
sibie financial returns for himself.

PATRIOTIC GIFTS VOGUE
A Present That Lasts Five Years and
Heips Win tho War,

Washington, d. C.-Reports received
at the treasury department show that
In all parts Of Amrlca q new plan for
giving presents is being firmly estab.
lished. The Patriotic Present" is the
idea, and consists Of War Savings
Stamps to the value Of whatever gift
would ordinarily have been giyen.
Parents, to encourage thrift as we'll
as patriotism, have adopted the plan
Of giving War Sovings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps to their children in
stead Of tho usual presents auch 40 for
birthdays, surprises, rewards, etc.
Nmpleyers who have been accustomed
to presenting bonuses to employees are
1Astead giving such bonuses In the
shape Of War Savings Stamps. The
patriotic Present" now appears to
have become q nationwide custom.

"Store bought" foods and feeds are

American-Made Potash
Good As German Kind

II there is any doubt in the mind
Of farmer about using fertilizers con-
tanning American-made potash, in the
belief that 1t IL 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 sc''roes or Germany, and
that the plant asks no questions as to
whore it originated. but feeds on 1t
just the same. -.

FEBRUARY CRITICAL MONTH
An Opportunity For 8outh Carolina
Mon, Women and Children to De-
monstrato Their Patriotism.

Charleston, 8. C.-February Is ex.
Dected to prove one Of the most critical
months OF the war, and whether tho
war 10 to be prolonged or shortened
will bs decided to great extent by
what tho millions OF Americans at
homo do toward backing the army.
This is the judgment OF prominent
government officials who visited Char

One Of tho most significant utter
ances made during tho entire war was
made by prominent German official
whom America cast her lot with the
Allies:
1--WE do not fear the American sol
diers, because they cannot arrive IN
time; what we fear is the intelligence
and devotion Of one hundred million
Americans trained to faith in indivi.

hundred millions act as one, that day
Is Germany's doomI"
Fastening the Doom.
To enable the hundreds Of millions
OF Americans to act as one Is one Of
the main objects Of the war savings
plan which the government is institut-
Ing as mighty weapon against Ger
many That. Is the underlying object
of the drive for war savings societies
which Is being pushed during this
month, and through which millions Of
Americana are expected to pledge
themselves to stand pack Of the army

and services which are needed to

NO DATE SET FOR NEXT ORA IST.
Plans Include Calling 100000 Month
Until Quotas Are Completed.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Secretary
Baker has authorized the statement
that no date had been selected for
the beginning OF the second draft. Va
rious estimates have placed the time
between March 1 and June /. These
are declared to be entirely guesses.
= The governments disposition not
to disturb the labor situation, partic-
ularly on farms at the planting sea-
son, is one of the factors being con-
sidered.
The Provost Marshal Generals Of
fee, it is understood, Is disinclined to
go ahead with the second draft until
Congress has perfected the law by
pending amendments to change the
basis Of apportionment, and to au-
thorize the President to call into the
military service men skilled in indus
try and agriculture regardless of pre-
vious classification.
The remaining increments of the
first draft will begin to move forward
to the camps beginning this week.
1t is probable that next month To-
cal boards may be asked to forward
small liner roments necessarysto replace
men going overseas, but the expected
summons of half million will be
later
Plans for the SECOND draft as now
under consideration include calling
100000 a month until the second
quota is complete. In that way off,
cials expect to avoid much Of the con-
fusion which accompanied the first
CALL. The men will report in a steady
stream and be assimilated into the
military machine before the next lot
is received.
1t has been definitely settled that
the first contingents will be used to
fill vacancies in National Guard divis-
ions caused by the withdrawal Of men
for the organization Of special and
technical units. Similar vacancies
In the National Army divisions will
have been filled by that time from
the final increment of the first draft

9HVEN REASONS FOR

There are seven good reasons
why the government has issued
War Savings Stamps:
/. Save for your country's
sake. bscause il 10 now spending
millions a day, and must find
most Of the money out OF sav.
ings. 81
2. Save for your avn sake,
because work and wages are
plentiful and, while prices are
high now, dollar will buy more
after the war.
3. Save because, when you
spend, you make other people
work for You, and the work Of
everyone Is needed now to win
the war.
4. Save because. by saving, you
make things cheaper for every
one. especially for those who are
poorer than ysu.
8. Save because, by going
without you relieve the strain
on ships. docks, and railways,
sHd make transport cheaper and
quicker
8. Save because, by saving.
you set an example that makes
It easier for the next man. to
save. A saving nation is an
earning nation.
7. Save because every tiYne
you save yeu help twice. flrst
whom you don't spend, and again
whom you lend to the nation.

LUTHERAN MISSION WORK.
DR.. II. 9. CronlS Leaves Columbia for
Richmond.
(The State, 21st.) i


At the annual meeting of the ma
tional committee Of the laymen's
missionary movement Of the United
States and Canada, which has just
beea held in New York, announce
mat was made of the acceptance Of
TIE call extended to DR.. e. c. Cronk
of Columbia, to secretaryship with
the movement. w. r. Millar, the
general secretary, said that no action
ever taken by the committee had
been more unanimously enthusiastic
than the extending Of this call to DR..
Cronk to join the staff Of the nation
al movement.
The call has been before Dr. Cronk
for months, together with arguments
for his acceptance, presented by men
OH different denominations, both
North and South.
AS the national movement is now
constituted, w. B. Millar, who sue
ceeded J. Campbell White, Is general
secretary, with 12 department and
territorial secretaries, who are out
standing missionary leaders.
DR.. Cronk will have charge Of the
work In the Southern territory. The
committee considers that, at the be-
ginning of this new year In their
work, they have the strongest staff
and the. largest program for service
to the churches they have ever had
in the history Of the movement.
Ten years ago group of earnest
laymen met In a prayer meeting in
New York. Being convinced Of the
need for greater conservation on the
part Of laymen to the-church' task
Of the evangelization of the world,
they organized the Laymen's Mis-
sionary Movement. That day mark
ed the beginning Of a new era in the
relationship Of men to missions. In
the past ten years there has been a
wonderful development Of the mas
culine note in missions. Men have
been asked for and have givnn mill
lions in money and days in service to
.
tlcally every denomination has intro
duced new financial plan that has
replaced spasm by system. The plans
Of the national movement for the
coming year will center around the
thel,e, "mobilizing the resources Of
the church." with special emphasis
on stewardship. A series of conven-
tions is being planned which will
reach counties hitherto largely un-
touched. ~
DR.. and Mrs. Cronk will move to
Richmond next week. Mrs. Cronk
will continue her work as editor Of
Tidingss the Sunday school and mis-
sionary journal Of the Lutheran
church: She will Also continue as
editor Of literature for the Women 8
Missionary Conference until the BIZ
ennial meeting in the fall or until
her successor is elected by the execu-
tive committee of the conference.
