FERTILIZER.

A few weeks ago we called the
farmers attention to the use of com
mercial fertilizer. Wish to state
again that in our opinion the farmers
of Western Oktibbeha lose more pro-
fit every year by NOT USING ferti-
lizer than from any other cause.
Our father or grandfather left
Alabama, Georgia or the Carolinas
years ago because the farm lands in
those states were called worn out,
and were too poor to farm. They
came to Mississippi, whose virgin
wealth was then untouched. Those
who could not get away from the
states above named, stayed to do the
best they could. They began to use
commercial fertilizers and the prac-
tice has increased with the passing
years. Today the farmer in the Car
olinas, Georgia or Alabama figures
his fertilizers just as necessary and
essential as is his labor or stock
feed. The lands of those states are
now producing from two to three
times as much as ours and selling
for five or six times as much money.
A farmer stated to me the other
day that he doubled the yield on his
cotton land by the use of 800 lbs.
of acid phosphate. He made a fourth
of bale without fertilizer and half
bale with it. Just think, 300 pounds
of phosphate this year cost $4.85 and
fourth of bale of cotton is worth
$50. What investment could pay
you better? Corn, peas, potatoes
and cane are all as responsive to the
use of fertilizer as is cotton.
In applying this fertilizer do not
put it in the center furrow and bed
on it as many of us have done. Bed
your land, open the bed with a bull
tongue or small shovel, apply your
fertilizer and run over bed with a
top harrow. We know of one two
horse farmer in this neighborhood,
who is planning to use 800 pounds of
phosphate on every acre he plants
this year.
BY investing $4,000 in fertilizer,
he may increase the yield of his
whole as acres, SO per cent.

IN LOVING MEMORY.

Mrs. Jodie Kemp died March %,
1920, at her home in Sturgis.
In the passing away of this beauti,
full Christian character, our town,
our community and church has sus-
tanned an irreparable loss; but we
rejoice that we grieve not as those
that have no hope; and commend the
devoted husband and children to
"Him who doeth all things we'll"
Death, always an unwelcome Wis
itor, seems unusually so in this case
yet while we fain would have her
stay, yet we know of a truth that
with nectar of eternal life upon her
lips, she would not if she could re-
turn.
We know it is we'll with her cup
there"
Some day our Father. will give
back to us all our lost treasures.
o, say not to her, "Good night, but
in some fairer cline bid her good
morning"
We tender our sympathy to her
bereaved family. A Friend.

port demand strengthened the bread

were on rallies all along the line.
Best prices of the day in wheat
were made at the start when small

covered stop loss orders and caused
u bulge of 51a to 71e cents. \ sharp
break in corn induced selling of
wheat that wiped out the early
bulge. but prices took second

connections. reports that Belgium
had bought 100000 bushels and good
demand at New York. At the close

BEAR ELEMENT PANICKY

New York, Sept. 1T.-Not a bear
dared show his hand in the stock
market today and as a result there
was almost a bear panic before the
day was done. 1t was certain that
the market would be supported and
especially Morgan and issues. Be
sides, every trader felt that if he
attacked the market he would be
contributing to whatever unsettle-
ment might result.
There were thousands of men in
the street ready to take physical
action, If necessary, to Tepress any
raidinS Persons who have been
talking radicalism were strangely
silent. The bomb killed a lot OF
innocent men AMI women. but it
damaged the Bolshevist scheme OF
things 50 severely that its net ef-
feet proved constructive.
Among bankers and traders the
same sentiment was expressed.
Even if the outrage is proved to
have been committed by an ire
sponsibIe crank the constructive in
fluence will remain, for it has walked
the American people up to the
danger of permitting political luna
tics to spread their propaganda un-
der the guise of free speech.

Mexican Petroleum was the fea-
ture Of the market with an advance
Of 10 points. In other issues the
shorts took warning and the result
was that the last hour OF trading
