/ THURSDAY AFTERNOON, EEB. 20,1919 RAW OFFICIAL WARNS [ARMENS TO OKU FERTILIZERS AT ONCE Regional Director Winchell Finds Situation Is Becoming Pre* carious and Urges Farmers Not to Delay Till Last Moment. The following statement has been issued to the press by the United States Regicnal Director of Railways, about the fertilizer movement: "Please let me say a word to out farmer patrons. "The normal yearly movement of fertilizers in this region runs from three million to five million tons. This means, in round figuses, 160,000 carloads to be handled. "Ordinarily most of this very larsre item of traffic is thrown on the railroads in the months of January, February and March. Great activity on their part is necessary to handle the same well. “By February 10 at least 40 per cent of the whole fertilizer tonnage has usually been shipped, but this year less than-15 per cent has moved so far; that is to say,.the movement up to date is about 50,000 cars short of what It should have been. “It is easy for you to see what I fear. “A flood of business at the last moment cannot be moved to the satisfaction of our patrons and complaints will surely follow. We are anxious to avoid complaints, but it is obvious that we cannot move all of this tonnage at one time. In order to do the job right it is neces sary that it be well distributed throughout the whole three months. “During the past four or five weeks car conditions and weather have been favorable, but the fertilizers have not moved freely and immediate activity is now necessary to avoid a condition which will be serious alike to the farmers and the railroads.” WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING War Relief Work, Church, Club and Social Affairs SHOULD FERTILIZERS FOR COTTON BE REDUCED?

No more, no less. Profits in cotton production largely depend upon two factors, labor and fertilizers. Both are now high in price. Cotton requires a large amount of labor, more labor than any other general field crop. Therefore, when the cost ot labor increases, the profits of cotton production decrease rapidly and are easily wiped out. Because cotton is so burdened^ with labor cost, It follows that profits in producing it depend upon increasing the yield per acre; it depends upon it more than most oilier crops. As a matter of fact, a great deal of the cotton lands of the South are hardly fertile enough to pay the labor cost of producing a crop of cotton. Therefore, fertilizers have been depended upon to give the farmer the only profit he could expect to get out of producing the crop. It is plain, then,that to cut down fertilizer applica tions would mean simply cutting down the farmers’ profits. It also seems to be clear that any farmer having any kind of land can not afford to let high labor cost sweep away his profits through a failure to use the necessary amount of fertilizers. Fertilizers are high priced, it is true. But, after all, it is not so much the price as the protit-producing power of the fertilizers that should be a guide. Fertilizers increase yields at the lowest possible labor cost. In other words, they save labor, and since labor is the biggest and most expensive factor in making a crop of cotton, then fertilizers save expense and make profits more certain. * ♦ SPICE OF LIFE. ♦ 4. ♦*♦+***+♦+++*+♦♦ ♦ 1 * OUR BRAVE COMRADES 4 i + ‘ Op THE 30TH * 4 4 444444444444444 * '' ' Here’s to our brave comrades, Who fell on the battlefield, j.Who laughed at the word surrender And shunned the cry of yield. ^Here’s to our brave comrades, Whoso names in our memory dwell For their loyalty will ne’er he for gotten, Of the times when they gave Jerry hell. .
