Others are paying much less for 'RAD( MARK lintless and are making them as bulky as old style hulls by” wetting them down a half hour or so before using. < . / ■ _» ■ ’ - By adding an equal part of water to Buckeye Hulls and stirring thoroughly they will swell and give you as bulky a roughage as you want. . Most important, the bulki ness will be due to water which is of value to your cattle —not to lint which has no food value whatever. Other Advantages * ^Buckeye Hulls go farther. Sacked—easy to handle. They allow better assimilation of They mix well with other forage. other food. -- Take half as much space in the No trash or dust. barn. ~ Mr. Benjamin Thompson, Baldknob, Ark., is feeding Buckeye Hulls, to stock cattle. He says that he gets more food valuer per ton with less waste. He has bought five tons and has them stored in barn. He says that they occupy less space than old style hulls. To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls. Book of Mixed Feeds Free Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat tening, for work.

HARPER Show;, his patriot- lam, hut an opportunity to acquire wealth at the same time. ' _ • Offsetting Labor Shortage In View of the fact thftt farm labor Is scarce and high, "every effort’should ; be bent towards securing maximum yields her acre, with fertilizer, which is one of the best ways to consgrv/e man power. ' ~ • Unfortunately,' no industry has been more directly.affecled by the war than the fertilizer industry. The govern ment is commandeering materials im portant to this industry for the pur j pose of manufacturing munitions of war and hence him greatly reduced the possible’ tonnage to'" he used in fer tilizers. In other words, 'while the nation is calling for the largest pos sible crop yields, there is, at the same! time, a great demand for gun powder, j Some one has aptly said, “Plants and cannons eat the same food.” Of course, under present conditions, the cannons must be fed first. — There is a considerable shortage of fertilizer ingredients, and the pricey of theSe ingredients are c6r res ponding ly high. Fertilizers Relatively Cheaper In consequence of high^ffnees of ma terials, due to their scarcity, and be cause of higher labhr and transporta tion costs, fertilizers will be higher this spring than ever before. While the prices of fertilizers have advanepd^ fortunately for the farmer, the prfees-of crops have advanced^til! higher, so that fertilizers are relative _y cheaper than before the war. A bale of cotton with its seed will buy more fertilizer today than ever-before The same is true of a buslu 1 of corn; ; a bushel of wheat; a bushel of pi a j nuts; a bushel of potatoes, etc, • Why Fertilizers Are Scarce The causes of the shortage pf £<■' til ize'r materials may be summarised as follows: . - • Previous to the Avar, most of -our; potash came from Germany. The pot ash now on the market, is produced largely in this country, but it is far short of the demands. This American- i made potash, however, is just as val uable as the potash salts that were formerly obtained from Germany. * Acid phosphate is scarce, due to the fact that there Is a shortage of sul phuric acid—a -necessary compound in the manufacture*^of acid phosphate. Sulphuric aci<} is scarce, because py rites, from .which most of it made, has been comirfg from Spain and ships are not now available with whioh to transport it. . > ■ ' 7" The fertilizer manufacturers have been "compelled to turn to the domes tic pyrites, and readjust their manufac turing plants to the production of 4ul-" phuric acid from brimstone obtained from Louisiana and Texas'. The gov ernment isjVquiring of the fertilizer manufacturers' sulphuric acid in large'- amounts to be used In the manufacture ,of explosives. Then, top, there is considerable- dif ficultv in obtaining supplies of rock phosphate, because of the transporta tion shortage. " . The supply of nitrates has also been curtailed because large amounts of phate of ammoWia are being takeip4or refrigeration purposes, and (he^manu- facture of munitions. GoUon seed mieal, <lvaluable source qj nitrogen, is being used more and mote for feeding live stock. Tankagiy'fcnother splendid source of nitrogenkis also being used for the. sam'punpose;. consequently cot ton seed me^l and tankage are high in price. *■ J | NitraK> of soda is more expensive at the ffiile mines, and shipping rates e increased-enormously, and muni- ion requirements are heavy. The fertilizer manufacturers find it hard to secure hags for shipping, since there is a tremendous shortage of bur lap. Thus it can be easily seen that it wpll . be very difficult to obtain necessary fertilizer materials, and the farmer must take due noTTce and act accord ingly if he would malke sure*of getting his plant food. Order At 'Once* The farmer must, not overlook the fact that transportation difficulties are increasing daily. The railroads are lit erally overwhelmed. They have, there fore, been compelled to rule that fer- t tizers and freight in general^ must . rive in full car load lots, which jneans - must be loaded to their maximum < ;:i>;'city. ti erefore, Mr. Farmer, order your j : ’ ’*Ui/.ers NOW; ~ order PLENTY of’' Mm in; use them liberally and judicious ly, and thus secure maximum yields of crops, and so do;your part to supply the crying qecdjOof the world, while >i 0h> sa’-p' time you increase yeur bank account.
