o. H. Turner, County Agent, held
demonstration meeting at Union
Consolidated School Tuesday. About
twenty-five farmers and number OF
farm women met at the school house
and listened to a very instructive lee
ture by the agent, and then repaired
to nearby orchard, where the
agent showed the people how to prune
the peach aid apple trees.
Then the agent proceeded to show
the farmers how to terrace ten acre
field adjoining Mr.. Turner first US
ing the instruments himself, later the
several farmers took charge of the
level and other instruments and with
the agents help, terraced the entire
field themselves. After this the crowd
repaired to the school building where
several selections of music was rem
dered by the pupils, and interesting
talks made by County Superintendent
Smith and Rev. w. l. Hargis. Union

Fertilizer Situation
Progressive Farmer.)


It 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 fol
pushing UP yields in the past. This
wear he would, of coure, like to have
fertilizers 80 cheap that he could use
them to the limit. But it seems that
fertilizers will not be sold as cheaply
as they have been in the past.
On the part Of the fertilizer manu-,
facturer there is claim that they
cannot possibly get back to pre-war
prices this year. One reason given
as to why this cannot be done Is, tina,
the industry is carrying 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.
lizers this year. on this they stand
to lose.
The fertilizer industry is under
writing the farmers of the South to
the extent of about $16o,0Oo,0O0. 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-
facturer 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 at its present high
prices, can we afford to use 1t this
year?
This is the uppermost fertilizer ques'
ton 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
ers 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 1t ia the bushels and pounds
that we must sell at q 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 IL to 20 bushels
of corn or a fourth to a 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.

ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE.
Man ,Pays 81 A Pint For water
Thinking 1t Red Liquor.

Chicago. March 6.-Men who DIS
NAV ordinary intelligence in all thelr
other acts, frequently shine as prize
boobs when they undertake to violate
the prohibition law. TAKE irving
Wallach for example. He was stand
ing, in the lobby of fashionable no
tel celebrating whether he should eat
in the sumptuous dining room or take
his chances with the crowd at the
one-armed beef stew parlor across
the street, when a swarthy man with
an enormous beard Kissed in his ear.
Then he opened his coat, displayed
a row of pint bottles filled with
mahogany colored liquor, attached to
a belt.
s0Ten dollars!" he Kissed.
Wallach hesitated.
"For two" hastily added the gent
with his face ambushed in the dense
foliage of whiskers.
"Four dollars for one" ventured
Wallach.
"Sold," said the other, detaching a
bottle, pocketing the four dollars and
fading into an alley.
Wallach gave up his lunch hour and
FASTENED to his office to sample the
contraband hooch. 1t was plain lake
water, tinged with red pepper and
tobacco juice and he let out whoop
and started to hunt for the swindler.
The connection attracted the atten-
ton of police, prohibition officers
members of the committee of fifteen
and other dignitaries. Mr.. Wallach
circled the hotel lobby eight times,
the crowd increasing at every lap, but
there was no trace of the mysterious
stranger, so the victim tossed his
bottle into a garbage can and return
ed to his office to reflect upon his
own gullibility.

CLUBS HOLD
JOINT MEETING
Charming Amateur Theatricals Stag
ed by the Browning Club.

On March 18th, Mrs. D.. T. Carter,
Sr., represented the Brownings, as
hostess to the Woman's Book Club.
The Carter home lent itself admi-
rably to the stage effect necessary to
a part of the program; the hall and
double parlors being thrown together.
Mrs. Guyton presided, giving first
an address of welcome to the sister
club, and then urging the cooperation
of all in the revived Parent-Teachers'
movement. Mrs. Kenon, on behalf
of the Woman's Book Club, responded
gracefully, after which, Mrs. Guyton
called the various numbers of the
program:
DIR. Whitman Rowland, vocal So

Duet (vocaD by Mrs. D. G. Neil
son and DR.. Rowland: "Alice,
Where Art Thou?"
Mrs. Herman Glenn, in her best
vein, accompanied each number on
the piano.
The music was enhancing, and
Browning hearts swelled with some
thing better than pride over this
rendering by the clubs own sons and
daughters.
"The Play" came next, and was
doubly enjoyed by reason OF the fact
that its very nature had been kept in
the dark from the others by the three
promoters, who were also the actors
Mrs. Faser, Mrs. Guyton, and Mrs
Kennon. The play was "a Comedy
in Psychoanalysis." All three of the
actors proved themselves "stars" OF
the first magnitude. No one would
have dreamed that the "footlights'
were unusual in their young lives!
Laughter and fun removed about q
decade of crow s-feet from the faces
Of the elderly Gf there were any such

Delights seemed never to cease, fol
Immediately after the play, all flee
into the dining room, to be regaleo

Visitors present were Mrs. Hairs
ton of Columbus, Mrs. Cornell Frank
lin of Honolulu, Mrs. Stanley of Para.

With gracious expressions of de-

afternoon came to a close, leaving
another bright spot in memory's book

France. The statement was made at
the Gresham Memorial Home, which

CUT COTTON COST
BY MAKING FOOD
Southern Farm Prosperity Absolutely
Dependent on Cutting Produc-
ton Cost Through Food
Making and Saving.

Atlanta. Ga.-(Special)- IA right
about-face movement in 1921 is neces
sary if the farmers Of the South are
to get ION safe, firm ground again.
said H. G. Hastings, President Of the
great Southeastern Fair.
1T looks as if we all went cotton
crazy last spring, despite all the dan
ger signals flying and the disregard
OF plain facts as to costs or cotton
production We have repeated our FOL
lies of 1911 and 1914 and piled up
debts based on costly food and grain
to be paid for by cotton that is now
below cost of production.
with few exceptions those items
of food and grain could and should
have been produced on home acres
at one-third to one-half what the sup
ply merchant charges for them.
Cotton is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The time OF war prices is
over and the problem from now on is
to lower cost of production and at the
same time afford the cotton grower a
fair profit.
"Cost of making cotton is primarily
the cost of food, grain and forage
for the farmer, his family, his labor
ers or tenants, and his work stock.
Cutting food, grain and forage costs
by home production will reduce cot
ton costs from one-third to one-half.
PLANT for an abundance of food,
grain and forage. thus cutting down
store bills, and the lower prices for
cotton will not hurt so much. We can
not, with European countries so thor.
oughly disorganized, reasonably expect
high prices for cotton for several years
and we must make cotton at lower
cost, or else quit cotton growing.
Most Of us cannot quit cotton,
hence the absolute necessity of food,
grain and forage planting in 1921
the making on home acres OF every
pound of food and grain needed to see
us through.
'In this food production program,
take the home vegetable garden seri-
ously. Give the home garden square
deal and it will surprise you In the
amount of healthful food produced. 1t
takes the least ground, can be plant
ed the earliest, brings quick returns

QUICK DEATH FOR CUTWORMS

Cutworms are reported to the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
as making clean sweep of the wheat
lots on the experimental farm of the
departments dry-land agricultural
project at Woodward, Okla. The cut
worms are of the species known as
the graduated cutworm.
Poisoned bran bait is the specific
remedy for cutworms. The accepted
formula is wheat bran, so pounds;
Paris green or crude arsenic, 2 pounds
black strap molasses, 2 quarts; water,
2 to quarts or more as needed. Mix
the bran and poison thoroughly in a
dry state, then add the diluted molas-
ses, and stir vigorously until thor
oughly mixed. Distribute the bran
over the infested field broadcast,
taking care to sprinkle it sparingly
Ground each HILL Middlings or alfal-
ia meal may be substituted for bran.

Yields, Economy
and Fertilizer
(Southern Ruralist. }

To make the crops of 1921 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 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 If 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
is not one single sound argument in
favor of low grade fertilizers. Buy
whatever gives best results on your
soils

WHY FARMERS FAU,

M. B. Golf, an extensive fruit grow
er OF Sturgeon Bay, Michigan, in an
address before the Michigan Horti-
cultural Society, said ne was con-
vlnced the failure to market large
quantity of Michigan fruit, especially
apples, all of which went to rot, was
due to failure to advertise.
Farmers for the most part are
poor business men," he said. "Thev
often say, What shall | do with nv
crop?' but they do not ask them
selves what they have done to create
a demand for their product"

NO BUSINESS
FOR THE MAN WHO QUITS

John Wanamker says eff there is
one business on earth that gutter
should leave severely alone it is
advertising"
Advertising is the power which ere
ates sales and builds business. The
natural time to increase advertising is
during what are termed "dull' times.
In this way wise merchants, bv US
ing a little extra advertising effort,
keen their sales volume up to normal.
