LETTER FROM ROY C. OlUt.
Finds Germany Pleasant-Letter
Cut Short b.v "Cooties."
Editor Kcoweo Courier:
Just a few lines to let you know
I am now in the land of the Hun.
ll, is certainly a tine country, and
very much prettier than France, lt
ls built on the same principle as tho
United Staten, oven to the smallest
.details. The people have everything
1 ut food, and very little of that.
'i ley are acting friendly towards us,
i nd do not show any enmity.
While in Frunce I had as line a
lime as any one. We landed Septem
ber 21 at the port of debarkation
tBrest, France.) We departed from
there to rest camp, live milos from
tho landing docks. We walked the
distance with our packs ou. When
we arrived we were ordered to pitch
< ur "dog tents." lt was raining very
hard and we were there pitching
o'?r tents, and wet to the skin. Wo
were there for several days, and it
rained most of the time. From there
we marched to the depot, which was
two miles away. We were on tho
train for three days and two nights.
rj he train stopped mest of the time.
If it had been an American train we
would have arrived in one day. The
trains are all out of style. There
vould not be so many railroads in
France if it was not for the Ameri
can army coming over and construct
ing them. The Americans have built
up the country wherever they've
been stationed-built our own sleep
ing quarters, shops, etc. There were
not many automobiles until the
Amoricans brought theirs over.
There are so many American autos
here that every time I look around
1 SPO one. Most of thom nre Fords.
Whit o lil Nevers most of tm wei4?
?.'.< Inched to oiliv, towns and oom
ou n J os We've been rill over Franco
to Parla and oilier largo cities.
On February 1 we started from
Nevers toward Germany. Wo passed
through Metz. Lorraine, Tool and
through the Duchy of Luxemburg.
That is certainly a line little coun
try. Going towards Metz we saw
ruined towns all over. Not ono
house was there that did not have
some kind of a shell bolo in it.
Most of them had tho roofs torn
through. We arrived at Coblcnz on
tho 3d of February. Tho station is
just Uko the ones in the United
States.
Well, I'll have to close now, fo.*

PRODUCTIVE COWS PAY BEST
Income Over Feeding Costs Advance?
Rapidly With Increased Butter
fat Yields.
(Prepared by the United States Depart*
ment of Agriculture.)
Tho largo producers are tho most
profitable cows In the dalry herd.
Every dairyman strives to fill up his
herd with animals known to bo high
producers, but few realize fully the
remarkable rate at which profits ad
vance as production increases, say
dairying specialists of the United
States department of agriculture. I
The following figures, obtained from
the records of 1,608 cows in various
cow-testing associations, Bhow how
rapidly with Increased production of
butterfat Income advances over cost
of feed.

vanced from $18 to $108, or as produc
tion trebled income above feed cost
Increased svx times. If no expenses
er.jept tho cost of feed aro considered,
the cow that produced 450 pounds of
butterfat was as profitable as 27 cowa
Of the first group, whose overage pro
duction was 100 pounds. If labor and
miscellaneous expenses also could bo
taken into consideration tho results
would be much more striking.
A further study of the records
showed that the cost of roughage was
about tho same for all groups, but that
the total cost of feed was somewhat
greater for the more productive cows.
The Increased profit should therefore
be credited in part to better feeding,
but apparently it was more largely
due to better cows. Tho present high
cost of feed will eliminate the low
producing cow, or it must eventually
eliminate the dairyman who keeps
such cows. More cows are needed,
but better cows ere needed more. Cer
tainly it pays to keep good cows and
to feed them well.
LIFT OFF CORNS!

from the toes or calluses from the

REPRESENTATIVE SOUTHERN f
AGENTS, TELL WHAT THEY
U8E OF FERTILIZERS-^
PRACTIC,
By J. N. Harper, Director, 80II I
What do tho farmers jhemselves say
about the use of fertilizers? Certainly
no one is more qualified to speak as
to their value than they. This ques
tion has been asked of a great many
farmers in'the Southeast, and their
answers are mo3t enlightening.
Tho writer obtained through the
County Demonstration Agents the
names of moro than a thousand of
the most representative farmers liv
ing in the states of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Oeorgla. To these
were sent a questionnaire asking foi
information nu to the yields obtained
from cotton and corn, and tho formulti
and amount of fertilizer used. They
were also asked to give tho soil type.
Several hundred answers wore reeeiv
ed and these have been carefully eins
hilled according to crop yields.
Results on Cotton Yields
Grouping the reporto of the farmerr
from the Coastal Plain Region, the fol
lowing results were shown:

Tho average formula of the fertilizer
used waa 8.6 per cent phosphoric acid,
3.2 per cent nitrogen, and 3.2 per cent
potash.
Grouping the reports of the formen
of the Piedmont Region according to

The fertilizer formula for cotton
used on the sandy clay loams of thia
region averaged 8.6 per cent phosphoric
acid, 2.65 per cent nitrogen, and 2.11
per cent potash.
Quite a number of farmers in bot)
regions reported the use of nitrate of
soda as a side application in addition
to the fertilizer. The quantity use
