The resolution adopted by the

.'..Whereas, we have been united
with our beloved pastor, K. w. Cav
thon, in the sacred relation of pastor
and people, for period of seven and
one-half. years, during which time he
has mlnlstered unto us with untiring
zeal and unfailing fidelity and devo-

"And whereas, it has pleased Our
Heavenly Father to reward his faith

manifold blessings, as evidenced in
the peaceful and harmonious accord
that has prevailed in our church, the
increase in our membership of more
than one hundred per cent, the sue

been contributed to all purposes dur
ing his pastorate, the enlargement and

the spiritual life ofo the church as
manifested in the increased activity,

cent of our membership in all depart

"And whereas, the sacred ties that
have thus united us have been severed
by his resignation;
/ "Now therefore, be it Resolved by
the body of the church: {:
First: That God be praised for the
great work of our retiring pastor, and
appreciation for his prosperous and
successful administration, and with
fervent admonition to the Great
Shepherd that his path may lead him
into pleasant pastures and greater
fields of usefulness and that the pro-
pitious condition in which he leaves
the fallow ground of the church so
splendidly seated by him, will bring
forth the harvest which his arduous
labors so richly merit, and that the
paths of all may converge to that pas

HUSTLER At

w. S. Wilson, secretary of North
Carolina Council of Defense after VS.
iting army camps returned and in a
public letter made three sensible sug-
gestions, the first Of which follows:
First, send your home paper to
at least one soldier at the camp.
Pick out one of the men you know
and subscribe for your home pc.
per and send it to him. Any mem.
ber of his family will give you his
correct address. Write him let
ter and tell him you are sending
it The cost will be tEiflfng. The
thought will be appreciated. 1t
is not an act Of charity, but an
act OF patriotic service.
In order to do our bit we have de-
cided to offer the Hustler at half price
25 cents for six months or so cents
for a year, to any one wishing it sent
to soldier.
This is a splendid way to do your
bit. Help us out in this effort to in
terest the soldier boys who are MAX
ing a sacrifice for their country.

American-Made Potash
Good As German Kind

If there is any doubt in the mind
of a 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
suf1ate 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 to-
where it originated, but feeds on it
just the same.

IL 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 q
tention at this time to- the kind and
amount of fertilizer to De used. Prac-
tically 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 in buying them as well
as in applying them.
The farmer should understand that
plants use fertilizers 3S foods only at
ter they have been dissolved by the
soil water, and that which IN 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.

Quick Acting Form.

For the best results in the cuftiva-
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 150 to 200 pounds OF COM
plete fertilizers per acre should be
used and hundreds Of farmers find
more than this amount to be most
pfOAtable. 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.

Our attention has been called by
some of our readers who are Red
Cross workers to a possible mis-
construction of our article last
week in which we reported that
the county commissioners of this
county had appropriated s6OOO.0O
for that organization. The $4,000
goes to the second Red Cross war
fund. None Of the local chapters
receive any of this money. Prac-
tically all of the donations made
by our citizens to the Red Cross 60
to the local CHAPTER to buy mater
ial with which to word. Hence If
any one has an idea that there is
no need of contributing to the Red
Cross organization, because the
county has appropriated money,
they are mistaken. n.-Tyndall Tri-
