THE FARMERS SHOT AT
KAISERISM is MAXIMUM CROPS
c. "a Whltte, Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta GA


2. Harrow, roll and pulverize the
seed bed thoroughly before planting.
3. Use only the best possible seed,
preferably Redigreed seed, from re-
sponsible plant breeder.
4. Make liberal use of fertilizers,
and use manure whenever obtainable
to supplement the fertilizers.
5. Give thorough and frequent cul-
tivation to the titled crops, preferably
shallow and frequent cultivation.
s. Harvest savingly and protect the
stored crops from pests.
While it is true that everything the
farmer has to buy is high in price, it
is also true that whatever the farmer
has to sell is also high in price. The
fertilizer people figure out that their
products have not advanced in price
as much as the price of crops, and that
as matter of fact, cotton, corn, pea
nuts, tobacco and the like will buy
more fertilizer now than ever. Which
being true it follows that it will pay
better now to use it than formerly,
for the increase for which they are re-
spensible will be worth more.
Another thing that the farmer must
bear in mind il he would be sure to
raise a bumper crop and that is, to
place his orders early for everything
that is to be shipped by rail. The
railroads are hard put to it and do
not afford assurance Of prompt ship
ments. Orders placed late are more
than likely to be too late to be deliv-
cred in time.
Even If shipping were good, there
would be nothing gained by delay.
Prices are not likely to be lower. In
fertilizers, especially there is scare
ity Of materials and advancing prices,
making it improbable that the fertiliE-
er win be cheaper.

Upon those whom the United States
Aas not called from the farm, rests
q great obligation of feeding and
clothing the liberty armies Of the
world. The greater the crops the
harder the armies will be able to
strike.
What can hinder the farmer from
making maximum crops? Will it be
q lack Of market and good price?
No, the market and price prospects
are good.
Will it be for lack of money or cred
It with which to buy tools, seeds, fer
tilizers or other necessary supplies?
No, money is plentiful and credit is
good.
Will it be for lack of labor? Labor
is scarce without doubt In fact, the
shortage of labor is practically the
only great obstacle the farmer has to
meet in producing maximum crops, If
he could have abundance of labor he
could increase the cultivated acreage
and by proper fertilization he could
bring in a very great crop. But in
view of the lack Of labor what must
he do?
He can do two things to overcome
the labor shortage: First, Increase the
applications of fertilizers, which will
Increase the yield without enlarging
the cultivated acreage. Second, use
labor saving machinery.
But overcoming the labor shortage
Is not all that is necessary to obtain
maximum crops. Here is a schedule
az important things that must be done
by every farmer to get maximum
crops:
