If 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
tcmary.
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
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 ali of the southern soils are
deficient in phosphoric acid, nitrogen

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. II

ing are guaranteed to contain stated

American-Made Potash
Good AS German Kind

If there is any doabt in the mind
of farmer about using fertilizers con-
tanning American-made potash, in the
belief that it is not as good as thai
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 it be obtained from
American sources or Germany, and
that the plant asks no questions as tc
where it originated, but feeds on il
just the same.

Raise Home Supplies
And Some To Spare

"Store bought" foods and feeds are
too high priced for any farmer to pay,
even if he could tind them for sale.
The wise southern farmer will get in
a crop of corn and velvet beans, pota-
toes, vegetables Of various kinds,
grow a few hogs and poultry and 9th
erwise look out for the needs Of his
family and his tenants. With all
Of food products bringing such good
prices, the southern farmer should do
a patriotic bit if he would raise enough

Who compose the pith of my daily tasks and

Beats with the selfsame rhythm, sturdy and

Grinding out heartaches for parents and
