What do the farmers themselves say

ton has been asked OF great many
farmers in the Southeast. and tn cir
answers are most enlightening.

The above results from the farmers
themselves strikingly coincide with the
results obtained al the southern exper-
iment stations. and these figures show
that as the use OF fertilizers is in
creased. so is agricultural production
increased.
Many thousands OF acres OF land in
the Coastal Plains of the South, when
first cleared, did not produce more
than 10 bushels OF corn per acre. To-
day. they are producing from 40 TO so
bushels, by the liberal use Of fertilizers
Crop yields must be greatly in
creased TO meet the constantly grow
ing demand for foodstuffs and other
agricultural products. The most eco
nomical way to produce crops is by
increasing the acre yield, and there are
but two ways of doing this-by better
cultural methods and by the more lib
oral use OF plant food

an economic drug ON the market, The
placement division Of the United States
department of labor recently announced
that it had no difficulty whatsoever in

in the crisis of the war itself
1t is for us Of the United States to do
our part as a nation as fully now as we
did when we struck our blow towards
saving civilization.
1t still remains to see that all which
was won on the battlefield is saved for
liberty; that the stricken peoples do not
starve and that there is prompt and
useful rebuilding and restoration in raw
aged Europe,
We must bring back to their own land
and to their own homes, the millions Of
our men who have helped win the great
victory. They must once more be fitted
with thought and care into our national
life.
Great projects which were begun in
time OF war must be finished or redi-
rected.
All of these tests are part of the great
enterprise Of peace and reconstruction.
All of them must be financed in the next
few months before us. To carry them
out is absolutely necessary if we are to
complete our share of the work which
has been carried so far forward.
Every man and every woman in the
nation, who has shared in the blessings
of peace won by the war. should pre-
pare now to share in peace loan-the

GERMAN VAR CHIEFS
NLOW PUBLIC REGARD
They Are Being Allowed to Retire and
Slip Back Into Private Life Prac-
tically Without Causing
a Ripple,

Munich, Feb. Ia Correspondence of the
Associated ess).--An example of the
effect of the revolution upon the fame of
German military celebrities ia afforded in
the fact that the retirement OF two well
known generals, Kraft Won Dellmeusing
en- and Count Bothmer. apparently caused
not even a ripple on public consciousness.
With scarcely word of requiem, these
two formerly famous army leaders, both
Bavarians, slipped into retirement and
apparent oblivion, Even the monarchial
papers announced their action only in
small type paragraphs.
General Kraft formerly was chief of
the Bavarian general staff and afterward
until the end of the war, leader of one of
Germany's most famous military units.
the Bayarian Alpine corps. His corps
probably saw as much heavy fighting as
any in the German army. After serving
as chief of staff to Crown Prince Rup-
precht, General Kraft led his corps
through the battles against the Italians,
Serbs, Rumanians, in Macedonia and at
many points ON the western front, in
Guiding Verdun General Kraft came
into conflict with the new government
soon after the revolution, which probably
is one reason for his retirement.
General Count Bothmer was the only
Bayarian other than the Crown Prince
Rupprecht and Prince Leopold TO lead a
whole army. He had retired in 1909 but
was recalled to active service for the war
and was given command of an army
corps in the Linsingen army and with it
stormed Zwinin, the Russian position on
the Stryi river As a reward for his
success he received command of the
southern army and was assigned to cover
Gaicia, which he protected against nu.
merous Russian assaults. Ii was his
army that finally drove the Russians out
of Galicia in the summer of 1917.

The dollars Of the United States sup
piled largely through four great Liberty

tipped the balance OF power against the
Germans for victory and peace.

900 OF loans to the allies gave the mo

them back to defeat and destroyed their
menace to civilization.
The four loans from the American
people, by the American people, and for
the American people, brought final vic
tory.
But there remains a great chapter to
be brought out and finished.
To provide funds for this is the pur.
pose and need of the fifth loan--the vie
