That would make the next meeting the coming Saturday. After consulting with some of the teachers it \ has been decided to postpone the meeting for one week, which will make the next meeting on Saturday. April 2. Next Sunday being Easter, most of the schools will close for Good Friday and no doubt some of the teachers will be glad to spend the week-end at their homes. We will try to get up a good program for the next meeting on Saturday, April 2, and trust that every teacher in the county will make an effort to be pres1 ent. In addition to this it is very prob able that I will not be in town next Saturday. I have made it a rule fo: the past several years to take my father and mother to Walhalla on each Easter so that they may spend the day with their preacher son who i; pastor of the Lutheran church at Walhalla and I am going to do tht same thing this year if nothing inter venes to prevent. So the teachers am ?thers having business with the officc will please note that I will not be i: the office on next Saturday and nei ther will I be in town. I purpose during this week to visi several schools that are depending largely on the equalizing aid so tha I may talk over with the trustees anr teachers the situation in their schools I do not mean by this that the school will run less than the seven month but I want all parties who are inter ested to know just how the matte stands. We expect that all thes< schools to run the full seven months The time for the payment of taxe V having .been extended to a time be yond the closing of the schools th< school money will not all be paid ft before the time for the closing of th' schools we can not tell just what i is going to be, and therefore can no know just what the income is goin*to be in the several special tax dis tricts and can not get this state ai(" ttTA UaW YY^ If 1CJ f f\ UUl.ll v*c auvw livn- 1UUWU ib AO IV uv I am going to try to follow the fol lowing schedule on these tr.'p* anc" would be glad for those interested and especially the trustees to maknote and meet me at the school house The main purpose of these visits 5 to talk over the business of th school with the trustees and I wil make the visi s short.

WE CAN'T JIFFORO NO! ta unr rrsvni urn IU lot rcmiuun THISJEAR (Progressive Farmer) With fertilizer at its present hig! prices, can we afford to use it thi year? This is the uppermost fertilizer que* tion in the nrinds of the farmers i the fertilizer-using sections of th South. The Progressive Farmer ha In*n ViiJ niioatinn frnr guilt? CUUlUUgmj IUL.K.KJ LXXAO 4UVtfViVii v*. every angle, and the deeper we go th more convinced we are that our farir ers can't afford not to use fertilizs to make their 1921 crops. The per acr cost will be increased, but the pe bushel or per pound cost will be r* duced, and it is the bushels and pound that we niust sell at a profit. This is not time to plunge on fertilize in order to get phenomenal yields,-o to experiment with new mixtures. Us safe amounts of t?e kinds of fertilize that have given paying resuus on you types of soil. Not only should th farmers who have heretofore used fei tilizer continue the conservative us of it, but there are farmers in ever; community who have depended solel; on their own efforts and the origina plant foods in poor soil to make thei crops, who should now supplemen these things with added plant food, a least on a few acres, and get awa; from unprofitably low yields. We can not afford to farm at a loss again thi year, and yields of 15 to 20 bushel; of corn or a fourth to a third of ; bale of cotton an acre will not pa: for the labor, seed and use of the lan< and leave a profit. It is essential then, that our yields be raised wel above the average, and the only prac ticable means of doing this for thi: years is with fertilizer wisely used. Yields, Economy and Fertilize! /o?i.i \ louumeru xvuianei./ To make the crops of 1921 large and more economical than they woul< otherwise be even on reduced acreagthere can be no doubt that the judi cious use of fertilizers is to be recorr mended. A great many people are arguing with particular reference to cotton that we should not try to increase ou yield per acre because that would in crease the total production. That i: like arguing that a man should mak two trips to town, hauling a half-loac at a time. Trhen one triD would do th job. We should buy co-operatively in car lots, paying cash if possible, and in sist on the better grade materials. Pe unit the plant foods in the better grad goods come cheaper. Like the argu ment against increased yields, then is not one single sound argument ii favor of low grade fertilizars. Bu: whatever gives Dest results on you soils. Fertilizer Situation (Progressive Farmer.) It is an accepted fact that whei the prices of crops are low, highe yields per acre must be striven for Fertilizers have been the chief de pendence of the Southern farmer fo pushing up yields in the past. . Thii year he would, of coure, like to hav< fertilizers so cheap that he could usi them to the limit. But it seems tha fertilizers will not be sold as cheapl: as they have been in the past. On the part of the fertilizer manu facturer there Is a claim that the: cannot possibly get back to pre-wa prices this year. One reason givei as to why this cannot be done is, tha the industry is carrying a very heav; load of farmers' accounts that cam< r?ver from 1920. In order to ccrr these notes the manufacturers hav< been forced to borrow heavily. Yet in- spite of this, losses have alread; occured on 1920 accounts. In additioi there was considerable materia bought at peak prices last summe for use in manufacturing mixed ferti lizers this year. On this they starn to lose. The fertilizer industry is under writing the farmers of the South t< the extent of about $150,000,000. Ha< the fertilizer manufacturers closed ii and collected all the farmers' note: when they fell due it is probable tha there would have been widesprea< financial disaster. Instead of a ruthless policy, toler ance has been accorded the farmer This policy has burdened the manu facturer so heavily that it is claimet that Jlertliizer prices cannot ba re duced any further during this sea son.
