SOUTHERN RAILWAY HELPING THE GOYERSMEM ^Washington, June 7.?SouthernJlaU way system, in its efforts to assi^ >:he government in every way in th< present crisis, is undertaking to b< neipiui in securing su^wi^uuno ^ the Liberty loan. Mr. Fairfax Harri son. president, has addressed the fol lowing letter to all employes: "To all officers and employes ot tm Southern Railway system: "It has never been necessary to ap peal to the citizenship of the Soutl to stimulate a feeling of patriotisD %nd loyalty; every man, womal ant child of the South has that inheren ifc^f^ute.

N. Harper, Director Farn Not a day pass es mat tn? iarme is not reminded o the vital necess ty of producini more food crops and he is urged t put forth his bes effort in doing hi "bit," but t h < question is - 4'How ?" It is now to late to increase the acreage devoted to food crops, a practically all of the land has beei planted, but large yields can be ot tained just the same, provided goo cultivation is given and fertilizers ar liberally applied as side applications. Potatoes have advanced 250 pe cent, corn 100 per cent, hay 33 pe cent, beef and pork 100 pjer cenl whereas the cost of fertilizer has ac vanced only 25 per cent. The wheat croD this year is shori and it has been estimated that 300 000,000 bushels of the 1917 wheat cro; has been bought'by European coui tries for future delivery. Unless th corn crop of the South is a "bumper, bread will be a luxury instead of th .staff of life. /The farmer is being advised on ei ?ry hand to increase production, bu he is limited in his Credit and he find it hard to obtain sufficient labor. Th' best way to increase the productio: of corn and other food crops, as wel as cotton, is to cultivate thoroughl; and often and make side application of fertilizers. If the farmer hasn't th .mnnov hire lahnp nn^pr nrp?Pnt <V1T1 ditions, it will pay him to borrows money on his crop to pay sufficien labor to cultivate and fertilize hi crops adequately. After each rain dust mulch should be made with th cultivator. We need not expect bountiful harvest unless the soil mois ture is conserved. As a general rule the amount of corn produced is in di nrnnortion to the amount of W2 ter conserved in the soil by thoroug] -cultivation. 1 Hon. J. A. Wade, Commissioner o Agriculture of Alabama, in a circula letter issued to the farmers make this statement,?"It is evident that th acreage planted to corn in the Stat of Alabama has been increased 40 to 5 per cent and the farmers are to b ngratulated for taking such a wis cp.

It has always paic me to apply 200 or 300 pounds of fer tilizer around my corn the second oi third plowing, or when the corn was between one and three feet high." The corn crop is the bread of th( South, and its yield should be increas ed to the limit. This fall and nexi winter the southern people should eat more corn bread and less wheal bread. Our farmers must not fail to pro duce all the hay possible, and it wil pay to fertilize a paten 01 sorgnuu and peas with a fertilizer containing from 10 to 12 per cent phosphoric acic and iy2 to 2 per cent nitrogen. Cotton is not generally recognizee as a food crop, but the country musi not overlook the fact that an acre oi cotton that will produce a bale wil yield almost as great a food and feed value in the seed as the same land planted to corn. Therefore, an in creased yield in that crop means in creased food and feed products. Fertilizers are used for the planl food ?hey contain, and it will be im possible to produce profitable yields without ample plant food. Just whai fertilizer to apply and how much tc use as a side application will depend on the soil type, the crop planted, and the kind and amount of fertilizer usee at the time th? land was prepared On Piedmont soils and clay soils wc 1 js ?
