Farme FERTILIZATION OF WHEAT, of ] ing The following statement concerning the fertilization of P'1* wheat this fall was issued by 1 the department of agricultural extension at Purdue Univer- 'alJ sity, July .1, 1917: fre The fertilization of the wheat crop was never more Pja important than it will be this .pla ' - fall. From every part of Indi- *ac ana come reports of the excel- J.ns lent results secured from fer- ]?p tilization and the very poor ~ e yields of wheat secured from unfertilized soil. By fertiliz- ?ve ing, the farmer swaps dollars , /\ A />! A CI iui cagics. I "Evidence on the profita- ear bleness of fertilizing the em wheat is abundant." "In 1916 ea,r L. M. Waggoner of St. Joseph wfi county, applied two hundred ^ pounds of acid phosphate to 1S the acre, on all but a small ? part a field sown to wheat. ^01 From the fertilized part he se- V0l cured 22.4 bushels of wheat ^ to the acre, and on the unfer- vm tilized, 12.5 bushels to the " n aP O Q KiioVialo * ' aurc ci jiam ui <7.0 ljuaii&io, f>ni due to fertilizing." ow This year two hundred pounds of acid phosphate will cost about $2.25, and wheat 1 is worth $2.00 per bushel. On So this basis the increase secured ma % by Mr. Waggoner would be eve worth $19.80 and the profit ph after counting expenses of ap- Soi plying fertilizer and paying fP0 for harvesting and marketing sta the increased crop would be Ian* more than $5.00 an acre. If to this isn't a case of swapping dollars for eagles it comes very near to it. we The Ohio experiment sta- tio ^ tion of Wooster, as an average Ad for the last twenty-two years, has secured an increase of 8.0 bushels of wheat to the|hi? acre, from an application of ^ 1 160 pounds of acid phosphate jgr< to the acre. The phosphated^01 yield has been 19.2 bushels,jor and the unphosphated 11.2 bushels. Where 1000 pounds) 1 of potash has been added to!the the phosphate, the yield has'one been 20.4 bushels to the acre, gro or an increase of 1.2 bushels call more than was secured from " phosphate alone.

Reprinted from The GafFney edger. * My Dear Friends:? Will vnn nermit me to sav that I empathize with you in this dark jur. The word sympathize, you 'member, is derived from two Greek >ots and means to suffer with. That an exact statement of the fact: I iffer with you. My own dear boy is volunteered in the aviation corps the regular army. My heart is rung by the same agony that conxlsea yours. All this summer the lought of the terrible perils that he ust soon face has hung over me like black peril. In the busy hou^s of ie day the hideous spectre of death rer and anon touches me on the loulder and says: "I am come!" it in the silent watches of the night e same dread portent rouses me om slumber and terrifies my im^ination with images or horror. At 1 times an awful fear gnaws at my art. "My son! 0, my son!" Like I e scenes of a moving picture film I - ? ' * - i J y memories oi ms DaDynooa ana >yhood flit before my mind. Now see him in his cradle?and now in s first pair of trousers?and now i he bids me goodbye at the train at is to take him off to college. 0, iart-ache! 0, heart-break! Dear riends, don't you suppose that I tve felt it all? And so I say, "I mpathize with you." And yet, riend, I would not have it otherise?not for a moment. My boy is answered the call of his couny; he has answered the call of the )uth; he has answered the call of s blood. He is doing what I have ught him to be ready to do, from e;time that he first could talk. God irbid that my boy or your boy iould shrink and slink and shirk, hen civilization is in peril, when the igger is aimed at the heart of free>m, when'the honor of woman is enaced with ruthless violation, and hen all the arts and engineery and lplements of hell are let loose upi mankind. Your boy and mine ive gone forth to fight against a >e that aims at nothing less tnan ie destruction of our democracy, ie enslavement of humanity, and ie domination of the world. Our >ys, yours and mine, are fighting r democracy against autocracy, for eedom against despotism, for truth gainst falsehood, for honor against eachery, for civilization against vagery, for right against might, r God against the Devil. They are ? ing to cross the water themselves keep the war from crossing the J ater. They are going to fight in ranee to keep South Carolina from iing another Belgium. They are )ing to face horror abroad in order iat you and I may not be forced to ice horror at home. So I am willg for my boy to go. I toant him to ). Our fathers fought to win for us ^ lis very freedom that we now en-J^ iy, this very freedom for which our ^ )ys are fighting now. If French ldiers had not crossed'the ocean to ?ht in America, our fathers would ^ aver have won the war of the revoition. A man who will not fight for j eedom is not worthy to have free- ^ )m. Our boys, yours and mine, are ow going to fight for the very same ^ reat, undying, priceless principle >r which the Confederate soldiers . >ught in 1861?the right of self- J svernment. These boys of our are ~ orthy of their blood, worthy of the roud traditions of the South, worthy p f the high ideals of America. God . less and keep them and send them t safety back to us, if it be His holy I ill! Let us not mourn because theyj a. Let us rejoice rather that they ^ re donig a man's part in their coun- ^ y's peril. Let no word or look or . esture of our sadden them as they ^ d. Let us bid them goodbye with _ rave face and love-lit eyes and ten- ^ er embraces, while we commit them > God, their country and freedom. "With affectionate sympathy, Very respectfully yours, ? Lee Davis Lodge." . A NOBLE LETTER. A In another column is reproduced le open letter which Dr. Lee Davis g odge, president of Limestone Colge, has addressed to the mothers ad fathers of soldiers who have left herokee' County to uphold the coirs of their country. It is a noble s< id patriotic utterance. The sym- f< athy expressed is real, for Dr. rr odge's only son, Weling M. Lodge, vi as for some time been a volunteer a] i the aviation corps, sacrificing for lat purpose a lucrative insurance .ti usiness in Washington. He has, f< owever, in his father's language, ti answered the call of his country; fi a Viao onomororl tlio pnll nf the I D outh; he has answered the call of v< is blood." He has responded to the o ammons of duty as he has been 1< lught to do so.

They $2 re going to face horror abroad in th< rder that you and I may not be arced to face horror at home * * * th< f French soldiers had. not crossed ie ocean to fight for America, our athers would never have won the rar of the Revolution." If France ad adopted the weak, narrow and of slfish course that some in this coun- Cb ry would have the " United States ari dopt, France would never have come 3 the aid^of America in the hour of jpreme crisis. If the soldiers' of j ranee had refused to go beyond the orders of that country to fight, Amrica might still be a British posession. Equally forceful is the statement !iat "our boys are now going to ght for the very same great, undylg, priceless principle for which the lonfederate soldiers fought in 1861 -the right of self-government." - ? ?-Li * ?,i? o'c kJIierica ligiltd nut uiiijr ivu wuc 115UV - f selft-government for the German eople but also for the oppressed eoples of Europe, at the same wardlg off the menace of German domlion in America.?Greenville News. 0X< lLLOWANCE OF $5 TO $50 A MONTH TO DEPENDENTS cale of Rates Which Have Been Tentatively Approved.
