DELIVERED ABLE ADDRESS

In reporting the county teachers

Dr.. J. H. Harms, president cf New-
berry college, was then introduced and
made very forcible and patriotic ad-
dress on the subject, "The Relation of
the World War to the Teacher and the
Relation Of the Teacher to the World
War" He stressed the Importance of
education at all times but especially at
this time He stated that the larger
portion Of the young men now at the
front, as well as those now in training,
are from educational institutions-this
is especially true Of the officers. The
colleges Of the land he's given II per
cent. Of their student bodies to the coun
try's carse. 1t is the duty Of the teach
ers to train their children in the princi-
pies of patriotism and democracy; to

made potash, however, is just as val.
liable as the potash salts that were
formerly obtained from Germany.
Acid phosphate is scarce, due to the
fact that there is shortage of sui
phuric acid-a necessary compound in
the manufacture of acid phosphate
Sulphuric acid is scarce, because py-
rites, from which most Of it is made,
has been coming from Spain and ships
are not now available with which to
transport It,
The fertilizer manufacturers have
been compelled to turn to the domes-
tic pyrites, and readjust their manufac-
turing plants to the production of sui
phuric acid from birthstone obtainec
from Louisiana and Texas. The gov
ernment is requiring Of the fertilizer
manufacturers sulphuric acid in large
mounts IT, sed in the manufacture
Ct explosives.
Then. too, there is considerable diff
fculty IN obtaining supplies of rock
phosphate, ~, use Of the tranSporta-
ton shortage.
The supply of nitrates has also been
curtailed because large amounts OF sui
phate of ammonia are being taken for
refrigeration purposes, and the manu-
facture of munitions. Cotton SEED
meal, a valuable source Of nitrogen, Is
being used more and more for feeding
live stock. Tankage, another splendid
source of nitrogen, IS also being USED
for the sam purpose; consequently cot
ton seed meal and tankage are high IN
price.
Nitrate Of soda Is more expensive at
the Chile mines, and shipping rates
have increased enormously, and munl'
ton requirements are heavy. :,
The fertilizer manufacturers ndd II
hard to secure bags for shipping, since
there is tremendous shortage OF Dur
lap. -,
Thus it can be easily seen that it will
be very difficult to obtain necessary
fertilizer materials, and the farmer
must take due notice and act accord
ingly If he would make sure OF getting
his plant food.
Order At Once
The farmer must not overlook the
fact that transportation difficulties are
increasing daily. The railroads are lit
erally overwhelmed. They have, there
fore, been compelled to rule that fer
tilizers and freight in general must
move in full car load lots, which means
cars must be loaded to their maximum
capacity.
Therefore, Mr.. Farmer, order your
fertilizers NOW; order PLENTY of
them: use them literally and judicious'
Iy. and thus secure maximum yields CT
crops, and so do your part to supply
the crying needs sf the world, while
at the same time you increase your
bank account.

Comrades in war!

Comrades in war!
Three years have passed since the
German emperoe plunged the world
and his people into this most ground
less, senseless and impious of all wars,
into q sea of blood and tears.
Trained from childhood to be SOL
dier, brought up amid the perverted
views Of the junker and officer CASTE
dreaming Of the laurels Of the con-
aueror as the highest ideal, counseled
by generals, befrlended by war con-
tractors, and even with a financial in
terest in their profteering, he has since
1905 Systematically paved the way for
the war. He desired this war, ne per-
uaitted the systematic cult OF war in
Germany by the Pan-GerTnanists, and
he has encouraged it. he supported
and fomented the almost daily quar-
rels Of tie other powers through the
Pau-Germaa press by mis- infamma-
tory speeches. Last Of all he affixed his
signature to the various declarations of
war; he is fully and entirely responsi-
bic for them.
For nine years the diplomacy of our
neighbors, consistently anxious for
peace, succeeded in averting this dis
aster from the world This was the
policy which was falsely presented to
your ignorance as the Isolation
policy" in reality, a peace policy in
which Germany was always most
heartily invited to participate. Ger
many was not isolated, but the German
government, and in its wake the Aus
triaa government, deliberately and ma
IiciousIy Withdrew from the circle of
civilized nations, as criminals from hu-
man social circles.
But not only the diplomatic circles
of foreign states, but also German men
Of insight and lofty ideals have placed
themselves firmly in opposition to the
emperor's senseless and extravagant
lust for war, in spite of his wrath, and
have sacrificed their positions rather
than their convictions. This was true

In view Of the fact that farm labor
is scarce end high, every effort Sho"'h
b. ueat towards securing nlaXin.Hin
yields per acre. with fertilizer, winch
is one of the best ways to conserve
nan power
Unfortunately, no industry has been
more directly affected by the war than
the fertilizer industry. The govern
ment is communicating materials I'M
portant to this industry for the pur-
pose Of manufacturing munitions OF
war and hence has greatly reduced the
possible tonnage to be useG in fer
tilizers. In other words, while the
nation is calling for the largest pos
sible crop yields, there is, at the same
time, a great demand for gun powder.
Some one has aptly said, plants aac
cannons eat the same food. VI course
under present conditions, the cannons
must be fed first.
There is a considerable shortage Of
fertilizer Ingredients, and the prices
Of these ingredients are corresponding
ly high.
Fertilizers Relatively Cheaper
In consequence Of high prices OF ma
terials, due to their scarcity, and be-
cause Of higher labor and transporta
ton costs, fertilizers will be higher
this spring than ever before.
While the prices of fertilizers have
advanced, fortunately for the farmer,
the prices Of crops have advanced still
higher, so that fertilizers are relative
" cheaper than before the war. A
bale Of cotton with its seed will buy
more fertilizer today than ever before.
The same is true Of a bushel Of corn;
a bushel Of wheat; bushel Of pea
nuts: bushel Of potatoes, etc.
Why Fertilizers Are Scarce
The causes of the shortage Of fertil
izer materials may be summarized as
follows:
Previous to the war, most Of our
potash came from Germany. The pot
ash now on the market is produced
largely in this country, but 1t is far
short Of the demands. This American

the spirit of revenge and hatred, or for

to make the world better and draw all

decided not to enter upon this work this
year, owing to the fact that there will
