IIIOS P1H ATE ALONE IS NOT A COMPLETE FER TILIZER. IT DIOES NOT CONTAIN AMMONIA OR POTASH, BUT IT DOES CONTAIN A HIGH PERCENTAGE 0" PIIOS'IIORIC ACID, WHICH IS ONE OP THE TI REE ESSENTIAL PLANT FOODS. IT SiHOULD BE USED IN CONNEC TION WITH SOMETIhING THAT WILL SUPPLY AMMONIA AND POTASI. COVER CROPS OF VELVET BEANS, SOY BEANS, COWPEAS, CLOVElR OR ANY 01' TIlE LEGUMINOUS CROPS PLOWED INTO TIIE SOIL WILL SUP PLY A SUJFFICIENT AMOUNT OF AMMONIA AND POTASH. IN TILE ABSENCE OF COVER CROPS, USE COTTON SEED MEAL, TANKAGE OR STABLIC MANIJUE. ON MUCK LAND OR LANDS WELL FILLED WITH HUMUS (decaying organic matt-tr) I'llOSPlIATE ALONE IS SUF FICIENT. AN AVERAGE' CROP OF VELVET BEANS WILL SUPPLY PER ACRE APPROXIMATELY 150 POUNDS OF AMMONIA AND 50 POUNDS OF POTASH.

Besides we want to help worthy young men to succeed. Begin today withu $. life, you owe yourself a Bank Account. TIHE BANK OF MANNING WINTER CARE OF BUSH FRUITS Bush fruit in the city gardens and on the farm should be pruned during the fall or winter in order to increase the yield of berries next summer. The period between the falling of the leaves in autumn and the starting of growth in spring is the season in which currants and gooseberries should be pruned. The ideal currant bush, at which the pruner should aim has six to eight main branches, while the gooseberry has eight to twelve. None of these branches should be over 3 years old. Two or three of the main branches of the currant and three to four main branches of the gooseberry should be removed each season, the older branches being cut out and a like number of the most vigorous canes of the current season's growth left to take their place. All other young canes and all canes bent to or near the ground should also be re moved. If this system is followed each year after the bushes reach the age of 3 years, pruning will be rela tively simple and the plantation kept in good condition. Usually no pruning is given either raspberry or blackberry bushes, but in the North where low temperatures and drying winds prevail, the canes, or branches, should be bent over, care being taken not to break them, and covered with soil to a depth of 2 or 3 inches. This should be done as late as possible, yet before the ground be comes frozen. Uncover the canes in the spring before the buds start. All the weaker canes, as well as stronger ones not needed for the crop the fol lowing season, should be removed before the others are covered. In the spring if the canes of the raspberry are long and are not to be supported by stakes or a trellis, the ends should be cut back. If cut back to a height of 3 feet, the canes should be able to support their crop, keeping the ber ries out of the dirt. Sometimes when the canes are slender it will be neces sary to cut them back to 2 1-2 feet in length, The side branches of the blackberries are usually pruned back in early spring. WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO EAT LESS WHEAT BREAD France, Great Britain, Italy, and Belgium must now import 60 per cent. of their breadstutfs, instead of the 40 per cent. which they imported before the war. America must supply the greater part of this need. To send them the least that they can live on, we must increase our export of wheat from 88,000,000 bushels to 220,000,000 b)'"hels. have already exported the wi 'ie of the surplus of the 1917 har vest, over and above the normal de mands of our own population. There fore all exports of wheat' from now forward are limited entirely to the saving nmade by the American people in their consumption of wheat and wheat products. How You Can Ifelp: Hlave at least one meal a day with out wheat bread. Use inistead corn, oat, rye, barley, or mixedl cereal breads. Eat less cake andl pastry. Order wheat breadl from your baker at l east 24 hours in advance, so that he wilI not h~alc tooc much. Cut the loaf of w heat bread on the table. Use all st-ale bread for toast or cooking.
