Yields, Economy
and Fertilizer
(southern Ruralist.l }


rro make the crops OF 1891 larger
and more economical than they would
otherwise be even on reduced acreage
there can be no doubt that the Judi
cious use of fertilizers Is to be recon.
mended.
A great many people are arguing,
with particular reference to cotton,
that we should not try to increase our
yield per acre because that would in
crease the total production. That is
like arguing that a man should make
two trips to town, hauling half-load
at time, when one trip would do the
Job.
We should buy comparatively in car.
lots, paying cash IL possible, and In.
sist on the better grade materials. Per
unit the plant foods In the better grade
goods come cheaper. Like the argu.
ment against increased yields, there
ia not one single sound argument In
favor of low grade fertilizers. Buy
whatever gives best results on your
soils.
The Neshoba Democrat. (Philadelphia, Miss.) 1881-current, 1921-03-17
Fertilizer Situation
Progressive Farmer.l

n is an accepted fact that when
the prices of crops are low, higher
yields per acre must be striven for.
Fertilizers have been the chief de-
pendence Of the Southern farmer Tor
pushing up yields in the past. This
year he would, OF coure, like to have
fertilizers SO cheap that he could use
them to the limit. But 1t seems that
fertilizers VIII not be sold as cheapiy
as they have been In the past.
On the part Of the fertilizer manu-,
facturer there is a claim that they
cannot possibly get back to pre-war
prices this year. One reason given
as to why this cannot be done is, that
the industry Is carrying o very heavy
load Of farmers accounts that came
over from 1920. In order to carry
these notes the manufacturers have
been forced to borrow heavily. Yet.
in spite of this, losses have already
occurred on 1920 accounts. In addition
there was considerable material
bought at peak prices last summer
for use In manufacturing mixed ferti-
iizers this year. On this they stand
to lose.
The fertilizer industry is under
writing the farmers Of the South to
the extent OF about $150,000,000. Had
the fertilizer manufacturers closed In
and collected all the farmers notes
when they fell due 1t Is probable that
there would have been widespread
financial disaster.
Instead Of a ruthless policy. toler-
ance has been accorded the farmer
This policy has burdened the manu-
tacturer SO heavily that It is claimed
that fertilizer prices cannot be re-
duced any further during this sea,
son.

WE CAN'T AFFORD NOT
TO use FERTILIZER
THIS YEAR
Progressive Farmer)


With fertilizer ut its present high
prices, can we afford to use 1t this
year2
This is the uppermost fertilizer ques-
tfon In the minds of the farmers IN
the fertilizer-using sections OF the
South. The Progressive Farmer has
gone thoroughly into this question from
every angle, and the deeper we go the
more convinced we are that our farm
ars can't afford not to use fertilizer
to make their 1921 crops. The per acre
cost will be increased, but the per
bushel or per pound cost will be re-
duced, and II Is the bushels and pounds
that we must sell at profit.
This is not time to- plunge on fertilizer
In order to get phenomenal yields, or
to experiment with new mixtures. Use
safe amounts of the kinds of fertilizer
that have given paying results on your
types Of SOIL Not only should the
farmers who have heretofore used fer
tilizer continue the conservative use
OF it, but there are farmers In every
community who have depended solely
on their own efforts and the original
plant foods in poor soil to make their
crops, who should now supplement
these things with added plant food, at
least on a few acres, and get away
from unprofitably low yields. We can
not afford to farm at loss again this
year, and yields OF 15 to 20 bushels
Of corn or fourth to third OF a
bale Of cotton an acre will not pay
for the labor, seed and use of the land
and leave profit. 1t is essential,
then, that our yields be raised well
above the average, and the only prac-
ticable means of doing this for this
years Is with fertilizer wisely used.

OREGON NOTES
FROM H. |. RAY.

When / read i'm the Democrat afeW
days ago of the Killing of 36 rabbits
1t brought to mind the rabbit drives
in some sections OF Oregon. The big
cared jacllrabbit IL a real pest In
some sections and to exterminate
him. besides poison, rabbit drives
are had, participated in by several
hundred ranchers. Very often as
many as 2 600 rabbits are killed in a
day. This may sound like my story
OF scooping fish out by the ton in
former article but never the-less it is
a common occurrence here.
In going through the vegetable
market few days ago ran across
turnips of the cowhorn variety, some
OF which were three feet long. One
turnip sold for 20 cents. We also saw
black radishes and white tomatoes
besides many other vegetables curl
GUS to a black eyed pea eater from
Mississippi.
In 1906 this city and state celebrat-
ed the discovery OF this section by
Lewis and Clark-hence the Lewis
and Clark Exposition. As a momen-
to of that show the FORESTRY build.
ing still stands with many OF the ar
ticles remaining as In 1906. We visit
ed the building some days ago and
was much impressed with what we
saw. The building is constructed oi
huge fir logs, none under feet In
diameter and cut Il hundred or more
feet long. Inside shows the different
kinds of timber, plank dressed
feet wide, in the clear was novelty.
A cross section OF log was shown
that had fallen in the years past.
The seed of another tree had fallen
on the rotted top OF this log, had
taken roots which were entWlned
around the fallen log. This tree had
grown to be over feet in diameter
its roots hugging the big log, itself
over feet in diameter. From the
rings OF the stanGing ures II was es.s.
UlIUdE6u GO HdbCtDCCh es pAho.At cs'P PA''t9
Just beginning to take root on the
other log about the time Columbus
discovered America, 1t is an unusual
sight. On another part OF the
grounds Montgomery Ward have
erected a story Mail Order house,
any floor of which will hold all the
merchandise In Neshoba County.
Prunes are one of the biggest crops
OF Oregon. The price like that OF cot
ton is very low. To help things
along we had prune week last week
i, Everybody ate prunes, morning,
noon and night. They We're the main
dish at all hotels and restaurants
and many thousand pounds OF the
surplus stock was consumed, but
cotton is not good for the diges ton.
So ] am not giving you a tip as to
the best way to boost the price OF
cotton.
The movement to patronize home
Industries is being pushed TO the
limit here. 1t is having it's effect al
J, ready and is a doctrine that can be
followed to advantage by any sec
ion.

When youth and springtime meet In
the mind Of the designer Of millinery
we are presented with such c0ncep-
tions as those in the group of hats
shown above. One of the new shiny
fabrics makes the draped turban with
its audaeious dropping bow at the right
side. Knife-plaited ribbon is RESPONSE
BILE for the cheerful hat In rose color
that looks as If 1t might be made Of
sea shells at the right. The odd and
dashing shape at the left has a satin
brim and fancy braid crown with a
cluster that comprises fruits, flowers
and foliage posed against it. The
wide-brimmed braid hat boasts Of
lovely lines not interfered with by a
rosette and ends of satin ribbon posed
at the side. These are only four
among the myriads Of hats made to
grace the heads Of young women, but
from them may be gathered something
Of the vivacity and the general bright
ness of new shapes and materials for
spring.

Many Of the style features that dis
tinguish this seasons suits are attrac-
lively combined in the trim model,
with it's straight-line silhouette, that
invites study here. Beginning with
this uprightness Of line it adds the
fiaring sleeve, the odd management OF
pockets, simplicity and cleverness In
it's decoration to appeal to the woman
who likes smart suits that follow new

pecially where it defines the arms
