No Substituto for Hut tor.
Fats of all kinds are especially
valuable for food because of the rel
atively large amount of energy they
furnish tho body as compared with1
that furnished by other classes ot
foods. However, recent experiments
have brought to light the fact that;
in the selection of foods caro must 1
? be taken to supply not only the nec
I essary amount of energy, tissue
building material and mineral mat
ter that the body has been long
known to require, but certain acces
sory substances causing growth pro
motion as well. One of these growth
promoting substances, commonly]
called "vitamines," ls found In cer
tain fats-in some moro abundantly
than others. Milk fat is the rich
est source of this newly discovered
growth essential, known as fat sol
uble A, or as fat-soluble vitamine.
Milk fat constitutes, as chemical
analysis shows, 4 per cent of whole
milk or one-third of the total solids.
A quart of 1) Uk contains about 1%
ounces of fat; 82 to 85 per cont of
commercial butter is milk tat. In
butter substitutes the usual bases
are tallow, lard and vegetable oils.
Each of these 'has a use and value of
it.s own, and has the same energy
value as butter fat. But the com
parison must stop here. Butter is
moro Iban fat. These fats used In
making so-called butter substitutes
I are not nearly so rich as butter in
I the fat-soluble vitamine, which has
been found so necessary for proper
! growth .-ind development, hot only of
children, but of adults as well. For
growth proihotlofii milk tal or but
ter fat has no equal.
By practical experience in feeding
experimenta, Dr. E. V. McCollum, ol
Johns Hopkins University, has done
much in furnishing scientific proof ol
the superiority of milk fat as a food,
There is no substitute for butter
for children because of the vitamine
eontent of butter." No substitute i?
"Just as good." The family that uses
butter substitutes needs more milk
and cream, or both.

THU AMERICAN FERTILIZER OF
TO SAY ABOUT FERTIL 1/
"What youth Carolina farmors
say:
"An 8-3-3 and an 8-4-4 fertilizer
are general favorites in South Caro
lina, though some others are used
with success. The applications of
tho best farmers vary from' 600 to
1,000 pounds per acre, and the in
crease from 1,500 to 2-,000 pounds
of seed cotton per acre.
"Typical reports from South Carc*
Una farmers are as folows:
"A. O. ClarRson, Wateree, uses
600 pounds of a 10-4-2 broadcast
before planting, and applies 10O
pounds of nitrate of soda as a top
dressing. He gets 1,500 pounds of
soed coton per acre.
"R. H. Boiser, Summerton, usu
ally applies 500 to 800 pounds of an
8-3-3 fertilizer under the crop and
uses 100 to 200 pounds of nitrogen
ous top-dress, applied half June 1st
and half July 1st. His yield is about
1,500 pounds of seed cotton per acre.
"P. B. Day, Jr., Trenton, applies
700 pounds of an 8-3-3 in furrow
bed; top-drosses with nitrogen at
the rate of Ibo pounds, applied half |
Juno 1st and half July Tet. Obtains
1,500 and more pounds ol seed cot-1
ton per acre.
"Ja mos S. Culbroth, Johnston,
uses an 8-3-3 fertilizer, appilyng coo
to 1,0 00 pounds in the drill bofoio
planting; side-drosses with nitrate
of soda and kainit when cotton is 6
to 10 inches high. He gets 1,200 to
2,000 pounds of seed cotton to tho
acre.
"Wade H. Herring, Marlon, uses
a 9-4-2, and appllos 800 pounds and
100 pounds of nitrogenous top
dresses. He gets 1,500 pounds of
seed coton per acre.
You will notice that these farm
ers ll vu in sections of tho Stat? where
tho seasons aro longer than ours,
the .summer is earlier and tho fall is
later, which gives tho cotton plant
more time to mature. This 8-tt-il
and 8-1-1 brings splendid results
there, bul up ti oro, where the sea
sons aro shorter, wo recommend our
10-3*8 or lO-3-O as a IO poe cent
goods will make cotton maturo and
open earlier than an 8 per cent arti

cle, which was reproduced In th?
Anderson Daily 'Mall on th? 10th In
stant, ho states that lt was unproflt>
able* to raise moro cotton than could
bo gathered l>?for? bad weather sets
fn. H? states that low-grade cotton
not only did not pay tho cost of pro
duction, hut that it caused good
whit? cotton to soil for loss than it
was worth. AVhtt? cotton would al
ways bring moro if it woro not for
tho low-grade stuff. Ho stated, more
over, that it would pay any farmer
to us? $12.00 to $15.00 worth of fer

dressing in addition. His yields are
1,500 pounds of seed cotton per acre.
stations have proven that one penni!
of high-grade, woli-mixc 1 goods will
moko one pound and moro of seed
cotton, which means that money
spent for fertilizer pays from SOO to
500 per cent on tho investment, Wo
will not #ot ont of tho hole wo aro in

We have got to make a living, and
we want, something more than n liv

given up when things were going so
heavily against thom in 1014, 1015,
1010 and 1017 they novor would
havo won out.
Tho cotton acreage will bo re
duced this year. When tills is done
tho farmer will put his best lands In

izer on every aero of Ids best lands.
Tho moro you make to tho acre the
less it will cost you, and tho cheaper
you cnn soil it at a profit. We un
derstand an impression prevails that ,
