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. 4-es tf,..5., gnf Ia
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 a 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
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 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 a 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
suflate 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.

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 100 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
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.

PARIS TRYING MUNICIPAL HOG
 RAISING PLAN

Paris, May 14.-Municipal hog rais- ing in Paris on large scale may re- suit from the war. Lack of labor and deficient transportation facilities have not only held up provisions needed by the housewife and made them dearer but have delayed the garbage before front doors until it has compelled uni versal attention to it's immense vol ume as well as to the inconvenience from its overstay in the street.
 Hog raising has been proposed as a remedy for the lack of food and the superabundance of rotting waste. Vegetable garbage and greasy sub stances in the boxes over which Par lslans have been stumbling nightly since the war began would, it is as- serted, fatten 100000 hogs each year, and pork is now worth 50 cents a pound.
 Thousands of errant dogs nourish themselves on the contents of garbage boxes, and a great many of the dogs have been spreading hydrophobia
 The proposal embraces municipal markets for the sale of the fresh pork, eliminating middlemen's profits and providing competition against dealers who, in spite of all efforts to control retail prices, have found means of steadily pushing up profits. 1t is estimated that the gross revenue from the enterprise would be 100, 900, 900 francs a year, all of 1t nearly clean gain for the city.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION WILL TAKE UP QUESTION OF PROFITEERINC IN
 SALE OF ICE TO THE CONSUMERS

"All ice dealers should be required to file with you any proposed sched- ule of increased prices before these increases are put into effect and no increase to household consumers shall be made until after investigation.
 Attention is called to that section of the food control act in which pro- vision is made with regard to unfair practices, and in case of proposed in creae in price the food administration will investigate the tendency to make unreasonably lower prices to conner ciaI users than to domestic consumers, considering at all times the cost of distribution and an unreasonable diff ference would be an unfair practice.
 "The ice problem is essentially a local problem and there is no desire to intervene where local dealers do not increase prices, or where they come to an agreement with municip- al authorities which will be satisfac- tory both to dealers and consumer. If, however, such settlement cannot be made by the local authorities in cases where there is an attempt to unreasonably increase prices, there will probably be an inquiry and, in the first instance, an effort to arbi- trate settlement.
 "should this fail, the Food Admin istration is prepared in the interest of reasonable prices to use all it's pow CTS, including that of license, in any given locality and to place ice hand lers in that locality under the restraint of the food law"
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-05-14

Impelled by the military necessity for conserving ammonia, very essen tial for explosive making and used in the manufacture of artificial ice, and further actuated by the desire to pro- tect housewives and other small users of ice from any unfair practices or attempted profiteering by ice dealers, the United States Food Adminstra- tion has taken up the problem of con serving ice and preventing it's waste.
 The Food Administration also pro poses to prevent any undue increase in the price of ice this summer, its particular interest being that ice is necessary to save food and to prevent the waste of certain perishables. A telegram just received by Robert Sco- vile, Food Administrator of this state reads as follows:
 "The law department of the Food Administration has ruled that the manufacture and distribution of ice comes under the food control act: The food administration is concerned that there should be no profiteering in ice, and especially that the cost of ice to those elements of the community which are least liable to protect them selves should not be increased over last year unless absolute proof can be given by the ice companies as to the necessity. Any increase in the price over that ruling last season to the household consumer will, therefore, justify investigation as to whether it constitutes prof1teering.

COAL INDUSTRY
 TRYING TO GET
 BETTER SERVICE

Arrangements to get greater ser vice out of cars and railroad facilities in the handling of coal were made, today, at a conference of Lehigh Val ley Railroad and Lehigh Valley Coal Sales Company officers in Hazelton. Shipments in solid trains are to be made up so as to. avoid shifting.
 The daily output of domestic sizes of coal from the Propect colliery is to be sent to the Lehigh docks at Jersey City for transhipment to New England. If the output of this col fiery is not sufficient for the purpose, that of the Dorrance colliery, or part of it, will be added to the Prospect shipment.
 The Hazleton region is to furnish coal for the west to be taken from Drifton and Hazleton No. 1 collieries and the Hazleton shaft. Shipments are to be made four days each week. Egg, stove, chestnut and other sizes of anthracite going west are to be sent to Jersey City, Newark and other points for distribution. This will greatly aid New York.
 The action was decided upon fol- lowing the notice sent out by Direc- tor General of Railroads that solid trains should go from collieries to tidewater points in order to avoid the unnecessary shifting for cars by the railroads.

ENGLISH CHAMPS BOX BEFORE OUR
 MEN IN ENGLAND

Aldershot, England, May 14.-(Cor- respondence of The Associated Press.) American soldiers encamped in this district had an object lesson in the conduct of a big boxing match here a few days ago when they were in vited to be the guests of the British soldiers at a program of IA contests between representatives of the Alder shot Command and the Southern Com mand of the British army.
 The headliners of the tournament included about half of the best boxers in England, now all in khaki. Among them were Sergeant Jimmy Wilde, Sergeant Rolph of the Canadians, Sid Burns, Corporal Billy Fullerton, and several others whose names were well known at the National Sporting club in pre-war days.
 There were no purses, the prizes be- ing simple silver and bronze medals worth about $5 each. Had the com petition taken place at London arenna and been open to the public, the program would have been worth about S25, 900 to the promoters. But the public was not admitted, and the .price of admission to the soldier spec tators ranged from twelve cents to one dollar. The latter amount cor responded to the s30 seats in the old days of the National Sporting Club in London.
 There was an enormous attendance of officers and men, together with a great many soldiers families. It was probably the first time in the history
 F iv, hi inh and children attended a match of cham pionship calibre.
 Despite the keeness of the fighting there was only one bout in which any blood flowed. The majority o1 the men taking part were so physic' ally fit, owing to their military train ing, that they were able to stand III in the ring and give and receive pun ishment with a degree of fortitud' seldom seen in professional boxing meetings
 An impressive feature of the entir, competition, from the standpoint o the American spectators, was tn scrupulously strict and fair referee ing. Holding and clinching were stop ped immediately, one warning onl being given. Any pair who stood u and engaged in shadow fighting" al so received a first-and last-cautior There were fourteen contests alto Gether, each of six rounds. The Al dershot Command won the meet, talk ing thirteen of the fourteen events.
 Commander Walcott, head of tn American branch of the British Ad r1iralty Intelligence Department i London, was the chief referee.

The National Association of Own CTS of Railroad Securities organized year ago "to protect and stabilize se- curities of the carriers of the coun- try" and representing owners of over $4,00O, 100000. securities of the rail- roads, have issued a letter to the di- rectors of railroads now under Gov ernment control and operation, calling to their attention the fact that they now have the responsibility of repre- senting all classes of securities issued by their respective railroads as the contracting parties on behalf of the owners of the properties in the exc cution of the proposed contract which each railroad is to make with the Government.
 As result of numerous meetings of the Subcommittee of the Association and of conferences attended by those having financial interest in the rail- roads, many of whom also being di- rectors thereof, committee has been formed known as the special com mittee representing owners of rail road securities.

 MT. Warfield, Chairman of the Com mittee, who is also President of the National Association of Owners ot Railroad Securities, made the follow ing announcement of the purposes ot the Committee:
 "A tentative draft of contract has been submitted by officials of the Gov. ernment, under which the railroad! are to be controlled and operated a. | provided in the railway bill passed b! Congress, for period which shall no
