The potash used in the cor
mercial fertilizers has been cor
ing from Germany, but the wi
has cut this off and many farme
are anxious about next yeai
crops. It is claimed that Soutl
ern farmers use too much pc
ash and the ammount spent fc
potash judiciously expended fc
ammoniates and phosphatt
would yield much better result
In talking along this line r
cealh^_W. St2fk2of tt
New York, had the following
say:
"As is widely known, all t
commercial potash used for f
tilizing purposes is mined
Germany and the company tl
controls the sale of potash
this country very naturally t
been anxious to increase t
consumption of potash and w
that end in view has advertis
exten sively that the average s
needs far more potash than
actually the case. On the otl
hand, all disinterested authoriti
n without exception, state tl
there is enough potash in t
soil of the Southern States to 1
for many years. It is far betl
to take the advice of experts <
the subject than to follow t
directions of a company tl
controls this particular article
"The farmer of the South 1

annually for this almost usel<
material. The present Eurbpe
war has made it impossible

after the present limited supi
in storage is exhausted there v\
be no more to be had until m
ters are settled abroad. Duri
the coming year the farmers w
be convinced that they w
mise jusi as good crops withe
the use of potash as they ha
with it. This does not me
that the farmer should not u
the other fertilizer materials, ai
moniates and phosphates; but
is to allay his fears that he cj
not raise a maximum crop wit
out potash.
"The millions of dollars a
nually spent for the various po
ash salts, if used in the judicioi
purchase of ammoniates an
phosphates will show far bettc

Three Reasons for Sowing Oats. <
The Progressive Farmer gives
these three good reasons why all 1
our farmers should sow oats:
First of all, adverse seasons in
many sections have made it fairly
certain that our corn crop will
be short, and at the same time,
the European war has made it
very probable that next spring
feeds of all kinds will be highpriced.
With cheap cotton and
expensive corn, the man who
has to buy fe^d next spring will
be in hard sLaits indeed. It is,
in fact, difficult to see how such
a man can afford not to plant
liberally of fall grain.
Our second reason is that fall
oats, when put in properly and
followed with a leguminous hay
crop, have almost uniformly
proved profitable, while oats
sown in late winter or early
spring have seldom been found
to pay. With the new openfurrow
drills that are now to be
had, we can safely say that fallsown
oats may, without great
danger of winter killing, be
planted in all parts of the Cotton
Kelt, and that yields from oats so
sown may be counted upon to
average double oats sown in
February or March. This fact
has been amply demonstrated
by many of our Southern experiment
stations, and is in line with
the experienc e of our most successful
oat growers.
The third reason we wish to
emphasize is this: If the present
war is long continued there will
probably be much talk and speculation
regarding crops to take
the place of cheap cotton. For
such a crop, bearing in mind its
cheapness ot production and
quick returns, oats, followed by
cowpeas, soy beans, or lespedReady

e2a, are unexcelled.
In view of the present situa^
hon, no farmer worthy of the
name cah afford to buy feed to
grow cheap cotton. In fact, it
will in many cases be well to
plant cash crops other than cot- ^
ton. As such a crop oats and
hay are worthy of the most care- }
ful consideration.
