Delayed Applications
of Fertilizers

Lack of labor on the farm, unfavor-
able weather at planting time, conges-
ton ON railways and consequent delays
to shipments, may prevent the full and
proper amount of fertilizer being ap-
piled to the crop at time of planting.
LATE APPLICATIONS PAY
A late application Of fertilizer as a
side-dressing to rowed crops, or as
top-dressing for other crops, is often
quite as effective as when applied at
planting or seeding time.
Certainly it is much better and wiser
to make the delayed fertilizer applica-
tion in this way than TO attempt to
grow crop with no fertilizer at all, or
with less than the usual quantity. Re
member that fertilizer conserves farm
labor by making it more productive
The big problem is to apply the fertiliz
er with the least possible amount OF
labor, but at such a time, and in such
way, as to make it most effective.

FOOD SUPPLIES
PLACED ON SALE HERE

Mexico is to have the benefit of the
sales of the war supplies, which were
ordered for the army before the war
ended. Throughput the country the
War Department is selling the supplies
to the people for low prices in an ef-
fort to relieve the high cost Of living
situation.
Orders and instructions in regard
to the sale of these supplies have been
received by Postmaster W. R. Jack
son, through whom all orders must go
in order to take advantage of the low
prices offered by the government.
Each of the first, second, and third
class post offices in this country are
offering the army supplies for sale
through the postmasters. Each post
office is allotted a certain amount of
the food stuffs in proportion to the
number of inhabitants. After the all
ottments are used there are no further
means of obtaining more or any spec
ial item.
The prices of the government sup
plies are unusually low and it is ex-
pected that the allotment here will
not last long. In addition to the listed
price there is a parcel post charge
which must be paid. However, the
charge for delivery is 81 slight as to
make the highest priced goods less
than the cheapest to be found in the
stores today.
The postmaster ian not order in
broken lots but must order by 125
pound cases. The different food-stuffs
are packed in that manner and he must
order them in unbroken lots. If he
has not enough orders to use the en-.
tire case he must order the full case
rega: dless. The parcel post for the
1875 pounds is $1.29, each purchaser
paying his proportional part according
to the extent of his purchases.
The government is operating IN
strictly cash basis. Rural and city
carriers have orders to accept an!
grocery orders placed with them for
delivery but only with the cash &C
companying it. All orders must b.
made out in duplicate by the house
wives so that no error is possible. o.
account of the limited amounts Of thu
various foodstuffs in the allotment i
is thought some of the items nigh
run out before all the orders wer,
filed. If such were to happen thos'
who had sent in the orders frs
would be served and the others woul,
have their money refunded.
The postmaster is instructed to re
ceive rders from individuals custom
ers or from one man representing
group of individual consumers. He
allowed to use his own discretion
regard to the amounts to be sold to an
one person. The following items whic
are included in the allotment for thi
city will be on sale next Monday, Aug
ust 18, to continue ON sale until tn
allotment is exhausted.

TO ALL THE
PEOPLE OF
MEXICO AND
AUDRAIN
COUNTY

congratulate myself upon be-
ing afforded this opportunity to
endorse the campaign for a
Greater Hardin College.
/ believe every citizen of Mex
leo and Audrain County has q
right to be proud of the progress
made by Hardin College during
nearly half a century of highest
public service. Measured accord
ing to means and opportunity it
has been most remarkable. Over
1000 young women have receiv-
ed their education and training
in this fine old institution.
Hardin College is today con-
frOnted with an emergency.
The present quarters and equip
ment are totally inadequate to
meet the ever growing demands
upon her. Let us all unite to
make our beloved Hardin a
young ladies college in the larg-
est sense of the word, one that
will promote useful wOmanhoOd
and purpOseful motherhood.
Our college graduates will then
go forth into the world fitted for
the highest and best work of an
enlightened Christian civiliza-
ton.
I therefore appeal to all cit
liens of Mexico and Audrain
County to do their utmost at this
time to help make our dear old
Hardin College bigger and
worthier, and to place her on a
recognized equality with the
most noted colleges of any land.
This can be done, dear friends, If
you will only help in this cam
paign. Our actions speak louder
than our words. Are you ready
to do your share?
