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 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
TONS 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.

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
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 are
deficient in phosphoric acid, nitrogen
and potash and these must be supplied

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
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 know that the fertilizers he is buy
ing are guaranteed to contain stated
amount Of available plant food.

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 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
sufate 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 1t
just the same.

One of the most righteous meas
ures that we know of pending before
the present Legislature. is what's
called the Homestead Two Year Re-
demption Law, which provides that
in cases of foreclosure of mortgage
or trust deeds on landed property,
the original or defaulting owner may
have two years in which to redeem
it before the title becomes final in
. the purchaser same as in tax titles
or Sheriff's deeds. This measure
was much discussed in different
parts of the state in the last cam
paign and if the present lawmakers
fail to write it on the statute books,
there rs going to be a reckoning at
the polls next time, as its law high
ly in the interest OF preventing lands
passing into the hands of the
wealthy and keeping them diStribu-
ted among small farmers; a condi-
tion greatly essential to the prosper
ity and happiness, of any free people.

Many time two years Of grace
makes all the difference in the world
to poor man about redeeming his
land sold under mortgage foreclosure
sale; notably the first two years of
the war in the cotton section of this
state when prices were so low and
so much money lost, and see now in
how short space OF time it has
gone to unprecedented prices for
these times. And in many other
ways we could illustrate, how TINE
makes such a difference in the finan-
clal condition of the masses of our
people. So lets give every man who
will anything like take it chance to
save his home and other small land
ed holdings which he may have ac-
cumnlated by years of bard toll and
saving and had through temporary
misfortune to borrow money against.
1t will not hurt the banks and buy
ers to wait few months to secure
full title and we predict that it will
not make any material difference in
effecting sales, as there is always
