The Abbeville Press and Baiiflefl BY W. W. & W. R. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE, 8. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1; 1910. ESTABLISHED 1844 if II - HON ORE] Of Whom Some Fact: At Once?This is D of Patriotic Thp nrlminihlG address of the Hon. | F. B. Gary at Due West on Memorial Day inspires the desire to see in print the names of all the men who went from that city and the surrounding eouutry to take up arms for Southern Rights. If any reader can supply missing dates as to death or other interesting facts, of any soldier, I will be glad to receive a postal card immediately. Please write at once. May print a revised or corrected copy in pamphlet. Ifitbetrue that because of his valor the name of a French soldier was calied with the roll of the living ffor a hundred years after his death, and if it bfe true that Bob Toombs, of Georgia boasted that he would | at the close of the war call the roll J of his slaves at Bunker Hill, and if it be true that every orator who has . spoken to an Abbeville County audiences since the war has tiNlod the roll of fewer than half dozen of our distinguished dead without giv-j ing a single reason, or siaung a single fact Mint would warrant the intrusion of their names upon s our attention at a time when we are trying to honor our own dead, may we not with the utmost pro- < priety, once in fifty years call the roll of our patriotic neighbors and kinsmen who consecrated their ' lives to their country and who either gave up their lives in battle, or in the camp suffered untold hardships for their country? ( Don't neglect to send me a postal card, supplying information as to one or more of the soldiers. Respectfully, Hugh Wilson. Abbeville, S. C., May, 1910. Agnew, A. M. Algnry, John B.

Office-First floor City Hall. id i ma FC SIDE DI It will soon be time to side dress your cotton and corn. We have been in correspondence with the agricultural authorities of Clemson College and of the states of North Carolina and Georgia in regard to side dressing and a good fertilizer for this purpose. We have also talked with Mr. J. S. Fowler of this city about it. These agricultural college professors are fine on theoretical farming, and you know Fowler is lightning on practical farming; that is his lone suit, that is where he comes into his own?that is where he spreads himself. All of them agree tnat side dressing is the thing to do. Then, it is the most profitable fertilizer you apply to your crops. Now when theory and practice agree on a plan you run no risk whatever in adopting that plan. The element of risk is eliminated totally. It disappears. By way of parenthesis we will say that Mr. Fowler is> planting forty acres in cotton, on which he expects to make one hundred bales of cotton. He is using Anderson fertilizer on this exclusively, and in this he shows judgment. Sometimes he uses a little of Other, makes of fertilizer just to see how much better ours is than anything he has ever tried, but on his brag crops, on his own farming, he uses the An-| derson True Blue.. It stands to reason that side dress-! ing is a great benefit to the crop. You don't expect to give your mule orj your horse enough food Monday morning to last it until Saturday night, and you certainly don't expect to give it enough on the first oi May to last it until frost, but that iq what you do to your cotton unless you side dress. Good cotton, a bale-to-the-acre cotr ton, won't board itself. Neither will; good corn; you have got to board it.j You have got to board the cotton plant and the corn plant to get the best results. Side dressing keeps cotton from shedding. The reason cotton sheds is because it is not supplied with suf< ficient plant food. If you quit feed-; ing your mule it will shed. If you keep your mule in a good healthy condition and well fed it will not lose flesh. If you keep your cotton and corn healthy?and potash will do that?and feed it on highigrade ammoniates such as we have, your cotton will not shed. We have a complete fertilizer for side dressing which is strong in phosphoric acid, nigh in potash, and is ammoniated with Nitrate of Soda, fish scrap and high grade blood. The phosphoric acid develops the seed and seed are a very important item in cotton crops. . By developing the seed you can improve them. The phosphoric acid nurtures them and that develops them and by using well developed seed every year : ?~ rru.,4 yuu L"iui liiipiuvc jruui 3ccu. JLnai/ jc the way you improve your chickens and your cows; you get the best specimens and raise from them. The potash develops the lint, enables youi crop to stand a drouth better, prevents rust and blight and the othei diseases that cotton is liable to. The ammonia gives size to the plant. This fertilizer we are offering you now is heavily charged with Nitrate of Soda, This acts quickly, and then the fish scrap and high gra^e blood are assimilated and become plant food, and feed and nourish the plant until gathAnderson Phosphs ANDERS!
