The New Manner.

"Americanism'' is the slogan
heard on every side these days. We
are constantly urged to embrace the
higher patriotism, to see America
first not only physically but spirit
ually.
The arts are doing their share in
the movement. AS a proof that true
Americanism exists in the bellies

below. Without being couched in
the vernacular, save in one in

stamps them indelibly as. of the

similar form has been employed in
the trio, though the first is purely
a lyric cry" the second a bit of
bleak analysis and the third a

THE CHICKEN.

THE CHICkEN.
You see a languid river flowing
down
Through opulent valleys to a rain
bow town;
And on a barge OF silks and pillows
signing
You see your indolent,. soft body
lying.
With maids that fiatter as they
comb your gold.
And walters that bring birds on
golden dishes.
While your white fingers, long and
slim and cold.
Dip in a bowl and toy with golden
fishes.
I see a ballroom with a squeaking
jet,
And last years clothes, and broken
plumes. and debt:
And raucous tongues and lifted
brows and jeers
And bowling emptiness. and years
and years:
The day a hell of dreams and OBJ
scene hoping.
The dark a dead world, where a
cursing, soul
Sits at a window with cold fingers
cropping
vainly for goldfish in an empty
bowl.

This is the second volume of the
Best Plays series by the dramatic
critic of the New York Evening

the New York theatrical season,

texts of what Mr.. Mantle considers
the ten best plays OF the year-Du-

FERTILIZER SITUATION
Extension Of Credits win b
Restricted-Large Yields Per

Overcoming Handbags.

The fertilizer situation In the South
is unusual More than rs per cent OF

paid, according to authorities on the
fertilizer business.
This means that the further extern.
sion of credit viii necessarily be very
much restricted to debtors until their
accounts are paid. Many 1920 farm.
ers' notes are still In the hands of
local dealers and banks. This restricts
the ability OF these agencies to extend
credit, thus increasing the difficulties
Of the situation.
Fertilizer manufacturers state that
they are taking losses not only on
bad accounts, but also on the mate
rails that they bought at high prices.
This. coupled with the unsatisfactory
credit situation, is making the fertiliz-
er manufacturers slow about pushing
their goods on the market.
Though fertilizer prices have fallen,
they have not gone down as much as
the price Of crops. Nor have land
values, taxes, farm equipment and la
Dor been reduced in proportion to the
price of crops 1t follows that every
effort must be made to produce the,
crops economically.
When crop prices are low 1t is nee.
essary to get high yields per acre to
make any profit at all. Low yields and
low crop prices can mean only one
thing, and that is loss. Therefore,
the Southern farmer must make every
blow count in 1921 Each cultivated
acre must be forced to do its best
IN producing economic high yields,
In order to do this, fertilizers must
