CANNON AND CROPS CONSUME
THE SAME MATERIALS
Wartime Conditions Threaten Fertil'
izer Supply.

Every cannon crash and every burst
ing bomb on the battlefelds of Europe
uses up important fertilizer materials
A single skirmish may consume more
potential plant food than would be re-
quired to feed the fields of an entire
township, and the quantities burned
up during a real bombardment are tre-
mendous. Last year more than 60O,.
600 tons of nitrate went to make ex-
plosives, in the United States alone,
Millions of tons of sulphuric acid were
likewise consumed.
Fertilizers and warfare bear a most
intimate and most sensitive relation
ship. War decreases the supply of
fertilizing materials and at the same
time increases the Importance of their
use. Food production takes on a pa
triOtic aspect. The farmers tools Of
production become of importance Sec
Ond only to the needs of the army it.
self. Yet when Mars is the arbiter
the preference on materials must go
to the soldier rather than to the farm
er. This accounts for the shortage of
materials from which fertilizers are
made.
But now a new danger threatens the
spring fertilizer supply. The labor
supply has failed. The needs of the
munition plants and the shipyards
have been so great as to seriously
drain the fertilizer factories. Many
plants have lost 80 to 40 per cent of
their labor and there is no prospect
for improvement by next spring.
In normal times spring fertilizers
are turned out by working the fac
tories at high speed during the late
winter and early spring months. Only
half as many labOrers are employed in
November and December as in Febru.
airy and March.
With the present difficulty of getting
labOrers, it can be seen how remote is
the chance of speeding up to double
production next spring. There Is only
one way to get out the fertilizer ton
mage needed for next years crops, and
that is to start in now and run every |
factory as best it may every day from
now until spring.
But manufacturing every day must
mean shipping every day. Fertilizer |
factories do not have and cannot get |
storage space for this tremendous
bulk of goods. Finished goods must
be loaded directly on the cars and
shipped to the consumer
Here is where the farmer must help.
He must place his order Immediately
and accept immediate shipment. In
40 other way can the problem be
solved.

SEA FIGHTERS OVATION
Mightiest American Fleet Ever
Assembled Anchors at New York..
Ships, Returning Victorious From War
to Join Squadron on This Side,
Enthusiastically Greeted.

New YOrk.-America's battle fleet,
returning victorious from the war, was
welcomed home by cheering thousands
who watched the impressive spectacle
from boats and skyscrapers and every
point of vantage.
A whirlng snow storm at times blot
ted out the majestic fighting ships as
| they moved slowly up the bay past the
| Statue of Liberty, where Secretary
Daniels reviewed them from the deck
of the presidential yacht Maytlower
Preceding the fleet came a swarm of
small craft and submarine chasers,
clearing the way. The islands iE the
harbor, the docks and tops of tall
buildings were thrOnged with specta
tors, despite a cutting wind.
1t was the greatest naval review in
American history, and it marked the
day when the United States formally
assumed its place as the second naval
power of the world. The biggest sea
fighting force the United States ever
boasted had It's first being as a single
unit-a veritable American armada
as Secretary Daniels reviewed the
combined American battle fleets.
The review was the official welcome
to the Atlantic fleet, which for nearly
two years has kept the United States
flag flying in European waters. These
long, gray craft steamed up the bay to
the music of cheers and sirens, and in
the Hudson river joined the home
squadron. which has remained on this
side. The homecoming fleet was made
up of Admiral Mayo's flagship, the
Pennsylvania, and nine other dread
noughts-Arizona, Oklahoma, Nevada,
Florida, Utah, New York, Texas, Wyo-
ming and Arkansas
Each fighter flew from her masts
streamers of ribbon almost 100 feet
long.
All the official welcoming craft were
anchored around the MaytlOwer off the
Statue of Liberty. They included the
Aztec, with the assistant secretary of
the navy, the press boat Xarifa and a
number of others
As each Of the homecoming ships
drew abreast of the Mayfower the
secretarial salute of 10 guns rOared
from the shouts of its batteries The
toy cannon of the yacht snapped out
an acknowledgment of the Pennsyl-
vania's greeting-17 guns in honor of
Mayo.

ANOTHER AMERICAN CON-
QUEST
Baked Beans Have Made Place for
Themselves in Europe.

Beans! Do you know them? Bos-
just beans. Home and foreign con-
sumption of beans has increased rap
idly in the past few years. The war
has given thousands of Europeans
their first taste of real yankee pork
and BEANS" This "bean habit will
linger, and beans will become a neces-
sity on the European bill of fare, as
it has on the American.
Possibly no other cultivated crop Of
fers a quicker or larger cash return
than does the field bean. In the past,
bean growing has been confined to
comparatively small areas, but grow
ers have found out that there are va
rieties adapted to growth in most every
section of the country.
While beans have been looked upon
by some as a poor land crop" they
do best on a fertile soil that is neither
extremely light and open nor too heavy
and compact. The bean is legume,
capable by virtue of it's root structure,
of taking nitrogen from the air, but
owing to it's brief growing season the
nitrogen-gathering bacteria on the
roots have but a short space of time in
which to fix nitrogen. Fertilizers used
on beans should supply nitrogen as
well as phOsphOric acid and potash.
The rapid growth and early maturity
secured through the use of fertilizers
are also valuable in enabling the crop
to escape rust, blights or early froets.
