WHY FERTILIZER PRICES
HAVE ADVANCED.

Cannon and crops use the same
food. Six hundred thousand tons
OF nitrates went to make explosives
last year, in the United States
alone.
Sulphuric acid necessary for the
manufacture Of acid phosphate Is
normally made from Spanish sui
phur ores. Submarines have now
almost entirely cut of this supply.
Birthstone, used as a substitute
source of sulphur, must be trans
ported by rail at great expense
from louisiana and Texas, since
the government has found 1t neces-
sary to commander sulphur-carry-
ing boats.
Large quantities OF phosphate
rock from Florida and Tennessee
must now go by rail at high freight
rates. Uncle Sam needs the boats.
Higher labor, machinery, coal
and supply costs have caused gen
eral advance in all raw materials,
varying from % to 100 per cent.
Burlap bags which normally cost
10 cents each, now cost % cents and
are scarce at that.
Labor which was plentiful In
1914 at $500 per day is now almost
unobtainable at $3.50 per day.
There can be but one answer to
conditions such as these; namely,
hlgh-priced fertilizers.

DESTROYING DOORS AND EUGS
Fresh Air and Sunshine Is Death to
Both-Place Utensils Where Sun
Will Strike Them.

Fresh air and sunshine being death
both to odors and to bugs there is
close relationship between clean
milk and summing of milk utensils.
Do not stopper the cans when setting
them out to sun. Let the air work
in and out. Choose place to set
them where the sun shines upon them
most directly. Turn them bottom
side up to keep dust out of them more
effectively-and possibly rain. Nature
will then do her share toward freeing
the milk can from faint. She will ma
terially lessen the number Of bacteria
hiding within.

Our flying men, who are marrying the enemys retreat, have beaten all their records in air cpnabats, and their most famous day, when they destroyed something like seventy hostile aero planes, has already been recorded.

 It happened over the Forest of Nor nal, now in our hands since yester- day and there over those dense woods, with a queer kind of Eiffel Tower in the centre of them, flew a major of one of our flying squadrons, searching for the whereabouts of our troops and for any German fighting plane which he might challenge to a duel.
