Agriculture is the bed rock and
foundation upon which every other in
dustry must stand or fall. All the
people prosper or fail to prosper &C
cording to the abundance Of the har-
vest Of the soil, and upon agriculture
depends the prosperity and happiness
Of the world
Better methods of agriculture in
cluds the use of modern implements,
modern cultivation and soil improve
ment. This brings us directly to the
importance of the fertilizer industry
~ means of improving our soils Fer
tilizers are absolutely essential in or
der to increase the fertility Of the soil.
They have direct effect upon agri-
cultural production and through the
products of agriculture direct effect
upon all other industries.
Anything which contributes to an
increase in our agricultural produc-
lions, contributes to the welfare, CON-
fort and prosperity Of our people as
. whole; and this brings us directly
to the consideration Of the importance
Of the fertilizer industry In relation to
other lines of business.
Fertilizers Necessary In South
The very nature Of our soil, climate
and rainfall makes it impossible to
farm successfully without regularly
feeding our crops from artificial
sources with at least two Of the sew
sral principal elements entering into
the composition and development of
plant life. Without fertilizers much of
the best producing cotton lands in the
oouth would become unproductive and
farming would be Improbable. In
many states, except in few local.
ties, soil is no more capable Of pro
ducing without being fertilized than
stock is capable of performing work
without being fed. Our lands must be
fed just as we feed the stock thai
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 fou
or five acres to produce one bale o
cotton, which now, by intelligent farm
Ing, made possible by the use OF fel
tilizers, vie one bale to each acre
or the equii alent, of other crops Pow
srty stricken sections of one or tw
generations ago have been transform

munities. Our ability to rebuild an
make our lands more fertile has Ell

desirable communities, and to enjo

A Message About Advertising
From the U. S. Department of Labor

IF you are not advertising, then advertise
L because it saves money for you and it
reduces the price to the consumer.
Advertising prevents profiteering. 1t
insures honest profits and makes them
permanent.
The message Of the u. S. Department
of Labor to merchants and manufacturers
and to all progressive American business
men is to advertise.
Tell the public about your goods. The
consumer has plenty of money. He is
willing to spend it and we want him to
spend it on AmeriCdn-n1ade products.
The easiest, quickest and most economical
way in which this can be ACCOMPLISHED is
by advertising.

RECEIVING THE HEROES.

Sergeant William Tompkins of Pine Bluff has sent the following clipping from the Newport News Times Her. aid that will prove of interest to rela- tives and friends of boys who are de- barking at Camp Stewart:
 "How port of debarkation officials and Camp Stuart headquarters off cers cooperate in welcoming over- seas men, was described yesterday by Captain Norman Courtney, adjutant to Colonel Alfred Aloe, commander of the Twelfth infantry, and of the de- barkation camp. The efficiency of the system has struck incoming troops as truly remarkable
 Immediately ship with returned soldiers arrives here, port officers telephone the camp adjutant. The camp adjutant immediately tele- phones the camp surgeon, the camp quartermaster, and the liaison off cer. The entire camp is then made ready flo rthe visitors.
 When the troops arrive at Camp Stuart they age met by the liaison of- ficer, who escorts the new troops to their barracks, which have already been heated and cleaned for them by members of the twelfth. While the commanding officers with their ad-

FAIR PLAY FOR THE "Y."

Some of the attacks on the war record of the Y. M c. A. are simply unpardonable. They indicate sinis- ter, deliberate and systematic purpose to discredit one. of the finest philan- thropic organizations the world has ever seen.
 It would be amazing, indeed, if there were not some failures, some mistakes, registered in work of such magnitude as that undertaken by the Y. M. c. A. The Government has been attacked time and again for it's mistakes, but no one thinks that the management of our training camps was altogether bad or denies that the Government made good in the war in spite of blunders. So the assail- ants of the r. M c. A. must admit, if they are fair, that it's activities are worthy of highest praise.
 The Y. M. c. A. is paying the pen alty of the nations unpreparedness. It agreed to take over for the Gov ernment a great task which the Gov ernment itself was not equipped to perform. This called for quick and tremendous expansion of it's forces the expenditure of vast sums for equipment and supplies, and the or ganization of it's work on broader lines than had been dreamt of. The mistakes made very largely the re- suit of lack of tact, experience or efficiency among a very small num- Der of it's thousands of workers.
 The Y. M c. A. is Christian, but wholly non-sectarian, institution which has served Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jew without distinction It heartily joined in the appeal of the seven war organizations for com- mon fund, when, if there had been anything selfish or sectarian about it.

iutants are at Camp Stuart headquar. 1 ters for orders, the troops are sent ! through the delousization establish. ment, where their clothes are wrapped in bundle marked with. the soldiers identification tags, and sent through sterilization machine. The soldiers are given bath.
 While this is going on the supply officers of the incoming troops are in communication with the camp quar- termaster, who learns the number of new soldiers, and the amount of ra- tions desired. He telephones for ra- tions, and oftentimes before the troops are settled in their new quar- ters the rations are on trucks at the company kitchens.
 New troops can purchase the very best food there is at very little more than the New York wholesale price. This officer also has started cloth ing establishment in camp, where soldiers who wish to go home in clean, spick and span outfits may be fitted out at absolute cost. Some days the regiment sells $8,OOO worth of cloth ing there.
 When the One Hundred and Twen- ty-sixth field artillery arrived in camp Sunday, the first question asked by the officers was:
 Where can get something to eat I'm starved. We had a very early breakfast. Is.there a good restaurant in camp?"
 There is a small restaurant in camp but there are so many new soldiers and so many more coming in every day that a bigger eating house is ne- cessary. So the Twelfth infantry is preparing to establish a mammoth eating house right in camp, where the new troops and men permanently es- tablished, there may get the very best food in the world at very low prices.

THE Y. W. c. A.

When the boys come home, and Khaki turns to a blue serge the little town will settle down into the regu- lar routine of little-town life
 But the little-town girl, whose ev- cry thought has been of big things for the last two or three years, who has thrown herself into Red Cross work, Liberty loan drives, who has done all kinds of things to release men for the army-What of her? She has become a citizen of the world; must she go back to the small-town interests of ante-bellum days? Must the end of the tumult and the shout- ing bring her to dead calm, vacu- um? Must she become an unhappy, restless member of her community? The Y. w. c. A. through the Blue Triangle campaign scheduled for Fetruory, is planning program which will provide new interests for the girl in her own community.
 The interests of the Y. w. c. A are the interests of girls and young women all over the world; and some of that breadth communicates itself to the local groups. At the Y. w. c. A. a girl may study stenography, and fit herself for business. She may study French. She may attend the most popular classes of all, those l in domestic science, and learn to as well-almost, as mother; to sew, to can fruit and vegetables she rais- ed in her garden. She may come to the gymnasium and develop physic- ally in some particular line, or just ill the way of general health. If her community is thoughtful enough hl it's financial provisions, she may have place to learn to swim, to play basket ball, and tennis, and thus become robust in these days of too little exercise. She may have a cafe. teria, where she may obtain the best of food at little more than cost. She may attend the Bible study classes.
 The Y. W. c. A. is waiting to hold out it's hands to help to fill her life with whatever will be most helpful to her, her family and her town. All three of these must cooperate with the association, must bring financial assistance and sympathy to make pos sible the things which will control
