Osborne, Chairman Soil Im provement Committee, Atlanta, G* ^ Mr. Farmer: The above picture yBH exemplifies 'the yRiitA V u vital t»*ie of your most pressing prob- K^ais and one to be acted ypon without delay, is the matter of obtaining your fertilizer. * i • . , : In spite of the best efforts of the manufacturers and the Government, materials for making fertilizers a.re scarce and high in price. Therefore, it is all the more necessary that what fertilizers are to be distribute^!, should be used upon soil that has received the very best preparations the farmer is capable of giving. The mobilization of our army, re quiring a maximum movement of troop trains arid supply trains,, has qv- er-taxed the capacity of our railroads as never before., and- in order for fer- lilizers £• be distributed this season, the. movement must of necessity, be gin. earfy and the unloading of cars at destination be done with utmost despatch. Every car must be loaded to capacity. Today fertilizers are cheapen than • farm crops or farm labor. A bale of cotton, a bushel of corn, oats or j wheat, wifi'buy more pounds of fertil izers, now than ever before, hence to assure the, performance .of a patriotic duty, with great profit to yourself, or der your fertilizers promptly so that you rtiaV be sure to get them:- And when ^enu get them, use them with the greatest degree of intelligence x \ Satisfactory results are bound to fol low —Jjadh to you and to the Govern- ; ment. ’ * .

To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hull$ thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy Jo do this by wetting them down night and morning (or the next feeding .-Tit at any time this canpot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes.
