SIDE APPLICATION
OF FERTILIZERS
FERTILIZERS ARE CHEAP
AGAIN.
Practice Of Side Application win
Be Extensively Followed
This Year.

Atlanta, Ca. April.-Reports recsiy.
Cd from fertilizer companies indicate
tnat the Southern farmer fell . good
deal short OF using as much fertilizers
at planting time this year as usual. Sew
eral reasons are assigned. One is that
the farmers waited for the price OF
fertilizers to fall with the expectation
OF using them in greater quantities
than the usual amount as side applica-
lions to the growing crops.
1t seems that the practice of side an
phcation OF fertilizers is quite common
ly followed by successful Southern
farmers. In fact, the Williamson meth.
cd OF growing corn that is popular in
the coastal plains region OF the South.
provides that no fertilizer be applied
except as side applications to the corn
crop.
On the question of side applications
OF fertilizers. ]. N. Harper, director of
the Soil Improvement Committee and
recognized authority on agricultural
methods OF the South, says, that there
are more than the usual advantages
this year In favor Of side applications.
The reason is apparently favorable to
giving good response to fertilizers.
A word OF caution Is, however, sound
ed by Mr.. Harper. He says that the
side applications should be made early.
Late applications to cotton will only
prolong the growth Of the plant and
favor the boil weevil. He says that
1t will be better to make both the side
applications Of complete fertilizers and
the nitrogen top dressing within six
weeks after planting, where the boil
weevil is present.
For corn, he states that side applica.
tions are quite generally made too late
to get the best results. On clay loan
or heavy soils he advises q side appli-
cation and nitrogen dressing when the
corn Is from knee to waist high. For
sandy or light soils, he says that side
applications can be made later, that is.
when the corn is waist to shoulder
high, but before 1t begins to bunch to
tassel.
Mr.. Harper says that care must be
taken to use only readily available
forms OF fertilizer so that the growing
plants can utilize them in promo ting
rapid growth and development Of fruit.
The fertilizer should contain phos-
phoric acid in the form Of acid phos-
Dhate. This is the main element for
Fastening maturity. The fertilizer
should also contain nitrogen and potash
In the readily available form. Nitrogen
promotes the growth of tho stalk and
leaves and potash strengthens the plant
and helps fill out the fruit.
A top dressing Of sulfate of ammonia
or nitrate OF soda Is quite commonly
made, and, according to Mr. Harper, 1t
should follow closely after the second
application Of fertilizer. and within the
periods Of cotton and corn growth
which he mentions above.

European dispatches tell of a man
who won $275,000 on a horse race,
but this should not encourage other
men to bet on horse races. The man
was with some friends and purchased
the ticket in spirit of fun. 1t was
the first time he had ever gambled.
When told that he had won he laugh
ed 1t off as joke. There is a
sermon in the story for the man who
thinks he Is shrewd enough to work
out a scheme that will beat bunch
OF professional gamblers.

The United States Department of

is as follows:

II your land is sufficiently fertile
to yield at least one-half bale per acre

II your farming organization is such

time and in the right manner, and
II you are willing to spend the full
amount necessary to provide an ade-
quate supply OF dusting machinery and

When are advertising rates COM
ing DOWN." a local merchant asked
the other day. This is a question H.
600 publishers all over the United
States would like to answer, but they
do not know. The indications are that
advertising rates will not come down
any time soon. Advertising rates
were too low before the war and even
when commodity prices reached the
peak in the latter part of 1919 adver-
tising rates had not advanced in pro-
portion. Advertising in the average
newspaper before the war was selling
at from 10 to 20 cents an inch. During
the war rates were advanced to 80 and
40 cents an inch. In the meantime the
price OF newspaper went from 2 cents
to IT cents pound. The price of
labor more than doubled, while there
was an advance of from 100 to 400
per cent In the price of printing ma
terials. There has been no decline in
the price OF labor and only a slight
decline In the price Of printing ma
tertal. Nor Is the price of skilled labor
In the printing trade likely to decline
to any appreciable extent. It takes
from to 10 years to make a skilled
printer. pressman, bookbinder or
linotype operator. The nature of their
work La such that their physical and
mental faculties are taxed to capa-
city from 8 to 8 hours a day, and
why should not these men be paid as
much as other skilled workers? Be-
fore the war and for some time after
We entered the war their remunera-
uon was 30 small that many of them
abandoned the printing trade and
went into other professions where
they have remained. II their wages

MURDER IN MICHIGAN
Associated press,

Dowiagiac, Mich, Sept. 21.-A
bloodstained club and a bloody finger
print are clues found today by which
local authorities hoped to clear up the
murder of three persons and the
serious injury of another, child, in
their home here. William Monroe,
his wife and their 17-year-old daugh-
ter were found beaten to death with a
club. In the same room was found
the ten-year-oId daughter, beaten on
the head until unconscious. The child
was made blind by the blows. Altho'
her recovery is doubtful officials hope
she may be revived sufficiently to tell
the story of the attack. The tragedy
was discovered yesterday when the
child's chum entered the home after
hearing her moan. It is believed the
attack occurred Saturday night, as
members of the family were last seen
then. 1t is believed the child lay
wounded on the floor nearly sixty
hours before being discovered.
