The Washington cranberry crop this
year will be about $4,000 boxes of one
third barrels each (one-third u. S.
standard cranberry barrels), equal to
about rs cars. The quality of the
berries is very fine and they do not
need quite as much sugar as eastern
and Cape Cod varieties, and the use
of teaspoonful of soda to one pound
of cranberries will reduce the amount
of sugar needed by about 40 per cent
and give the consumer fully as appe-
tizing a dish as the eastern berries.

American-Made Potash
Good AS German Kind

If there is any doubt in the mind
of farmer about using fertilizers con-
tanning American-made potash, in the
belief that it is not as good as thai
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
sufate 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 tc
where it originated, but feeds on II
Just the same.

Better Farming in the South
FERTILIZER PRECAUTIONS
Plant Food Should Have A Legal Guarantee OF Avaa'
blity If 1t Is To Measure Up To Nations Pressing
Food Demands

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 tn 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 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.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1918-03-13


# 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-
ticaliy 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 il buying them as well
as 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 ksow 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
a patriotic bit if he would raise enough
to spare some for the armies while ke
is raising his cotton crop.

F RENCH AVIATOR
DOWNS THREE Fol:
IN 70 SECONDS

tsV MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wtREI
Paris, Aug. 20.--Lieut Rene Fonck,
the famous French aviator, who shot
down three German airplanes on Au-
gust IA, as announced officially sun
day, accounted for al three Of them
in the record-brealIing time Of twenty
seconds.
Fonck went out escorted by two
patrolling machines, After cruising
for ten minutes he surprised four en-
envy two-seater battle planes, flying in
Indian file with only a few hundred
yards between each.
The French flier fell upon the first
enemy machine with his machine gun.
1t fell in flames in ten seconds. Later
he got his sights on the second ma
chine with the same result. The third
lodged sideways before Fonck could
take aim and escaped, but by a swift
turn of the rudder he dashed at the
fourth airplano and sent it down.
Lieutenant Fonck, recognized as the
greatest French air fighter since Cap
tain Guynemer, is credited with bring
ing down sixty airplanes, of these he
downed six in one day in the course
Of two patrols.
A little over a year ago Lieutenant
Fonck entered the aerial service. He
is only % years old
