Aim At Above the Acreage
Yields In 1919

(From Progressive Farmer, Dec. 3D.
For the average Southern farmer,
I'VE cannot think of better resolution
for the New Year than one calling
for better than average yields. Aver
age yields, whatever the crop, mean.
over a period of years, little more
than a living wage. But as the indi-
vidual farmer rises above the average,
his net profits, nine times in ten, corre-
spondingly rise. The man who raises
cotton must see that our average of
about one-third of a bale per acre can
only mean poverty to the grower; the
man who grows corn and oats at our
average rate of Is 10 20 bushels per
acre must see that there can be no
profit in such yields; our peanut and
tobacco farmers, our dairy and general
livestock farmers must see that so
long as they are content with a mere
ly average yield per acre or per ami
NAL, just so long will they find the
farming game improbable and unsat-
isfactory.
Good land, planted to good seeds
and well fertilixed and well titled is the
key to successful farming; for good
land, plus good seed, fertilization and
Itillage, means high yields and good
proflts. In the new year. every farm

them, 1t should be remembered that
rather liberal expenditures are justi-
fable. For instance, when a bale of
cotton with the seed is worth $3.50, our
average per acre yield Of one-third Of a
bale is worth $50; but when we in
Grease this to two-thirds of bale,
worth 500, we have a gross profit of
$50 with which to pay for the cost of
the increase. or course the cost of
this increased yield, If the matter be
gone about judiciously, will practically
never be as much as $50 More otter
than not, in fact, it will be $25 or less.
leaving net profit of $25 or more PEI
acre. And the same rule will hold with
other crops and livestock as well. The
higher the yield per acre or per animal
within certain limits, the greater the
net return.
The new year and the years to come
hold great things for the thinking, pro-
gressive, business-like farmer. Prices
promise to remain good for long
time, and fair profits seem certain fol
the man who farms right.
Let us, as our first New Year resolu
ton, aim at putting cur farms on

FoYERs IN FRANCE.

Four departments Of tne French
Government have asked the American
Y. w. G. A. to open social and recrea-
ton centers for girls employed by
them-Finance, Commerce, War and
Labor.
Lieutenant Poncet of the Ministry
of Labor recently requested that this
Y. W. G. A. work be begun for girls in
his offices after seeing the social and
recreation centers which had been
opened at the request of the Ministry
of War. Sixteen centers of this kind
are operated in six cities In France.
Three of them are in Paris

For district offices $l5; for county

Political cards will be published at

high price OF paper the Herald had
to cut its size one-half months ago,
consequently we can not run com

Another Newspaper With.whom Boycott
ting Petition-Poltic Racket Failed.
Newton Record.

Newton Record.
Not long since. half a dozen or so
dlsgruntled fellows who did not hap
pen to agree with The Record polit-
ically at that particular time, got
together and signed a pettion re
qnesting that the paper being sent
to them be discontinued Prompt
ly, without any queries, their names
we're removed from the subscription
list, as this paper does not desire TO
keep people on the list who are not
satisfied with The Record 1t does
not expect every body to always
gree with it politically, for politics
are mere incidental in the work Oh
publishing a paper, but the real
mission of good newspaper is to
give the news, and man is not sup
posed to take it on account of any
particular political views it may
have.
The fact of the business is, the
little handful that have quit have not
been missed. The Record bears no
ill will to the few that did stop, but
only pities men who are not broad
enough to recognize that it is every
mans privilege and duty to support
the man for Office which be believes
will best serve the people, and the
only question that should arise in
this is that the support is given
from sincere aud honest motives.
And the man who questions the hon
esty of purpose in newspaper or
individual. without any evidence or
reason for doing So is showing his
own spirit and reason for lack of
confidence in lin.
No broad gauge man is going to
quit taking paper because it's po-
litical views do not always coincide
with his and very few have ever
quit The Record on this account.
The paper was never in better shape
than t is now, and has not been
harmed by the loss Of few suhscrip
tions on the one hand, while on the
other it has gained more than ten
times as many.

sources with at least two of the sew.
eral principal elements entering into
the composition and development OF
plant life. Without fertilizers much OF
the best producing cotton lands in the
South would become unproductive and
farming would be Improbable. In
many states, except in a few local.
ties, soil is no more capable of pro
ducing without being fortified than
stock is capable of performing work
without being fed. Our lands must be
fed just as we feed the stock that
work them or they will become toe
poor to even pay the cost and expense
of cultivation.
Transformed Sections
|, Large sections of land in various
parts of the South Atlantic States, for
ty or fifty years ago, required foul
or five acres to produce one bale OF
cotton. which now, by intelligent farm
ing, made possible by the use of fer
tilizers, yield one bale to each acre
or the equivalent, Of other crops. Pow
erty stricken sections of one or two
generations ago have been transform
ed into populous and prosperous com
munities Our ability to rebuild anC
make our lands more fertile has en-
abled people to live and settle in more
desirable communities, and to enjoy
advantages of better markets, schools
churches and social conditions. Bet
ter rural conditions have made tn,
back to the farm movement rot opl,
a possibility, but reality.
| Prosperity Due to Fertilizers
Whatever may be the direct benefit
1t Is obvious from a study Of the sit
uation that the present prosperity an,

is due more largely to the use o
commercial fertilizers than to any 9th

fertilizers are absolutely necessary t,
