"Rats were costing me hundreds yearly; tried dogs, ferrets, poison, could not get rid of them. Bought $1.00 pkg. of RATSNAP (5 cakes). Used half, not a live rat since. Dead ones aplenty.

N. Harper of the Soil Improvement Committee, who has been traveling extensively throughout the farming sections of the South. "In this exigency, what Is the farmer to do? Sit idlv don end ear there U do um try in*? By no manner of means! He should prcceed with nls preparation and planting. He should porslst In his efforts to get bin fei> tlllsers until he does get them, then apply them as a side application to his crops. "Side applications hare long been practiced under normal conditions, and now necessity demands that a large quantity of the plant food be applied In this way. The plant can feed upon the fertilisers when they are put on as a side application just as well as when put under the crop. The first application can be made as soon as the fertilizers are received, even if the cotton is up and has made some growth. "Under boll weevil conditions, it is desirable, of course, where possible, to apply the fertilizer under the cotton, bi a farmer is not taking as great a <-nanr>o at failure with a. fiidfi RDDlica for. as In attempting to grow the crop without fertilizers. "It is not as economical to make a side application as to distribute the fertilizers and prepare the land with the same operations as is usually done at seeding time. But the present demand for all farm commodities and the prices they are bringing abundantly justify this comparatively small additional expense. "The factors influencing the shortage of fertilisers have been beyond the control of the fertilizer manufacturers. The main difficulty has been the scarcity of grc .d phosphate rock, from which to manufacture acid phosphate, due chiefly to the protracted strikes in the phosphate f.elds of Flor ^cLiiX^>cLb \litvj Goes Clear Througl :ar on the market is of more e or accessible construction thar X>rt.

The factories have been unable to run at full capacity, not only because of insufficient raw materials but because of a lack of labor. The manufacturers are making every effort to get suf* ficient materials and labor to operate their factories at the highest posecible speed. "The farmers should accept the sit* uation, proceed with his planting, utilize what fertilizers he has, if any, by putting them under his crop, and apply the rest as he receives them, and feel confident that a satisfactory crop can be made " MORE MONEY CROPS FOR SOUTHERN STATES Though cotton will always remain the South's main money crop, there ti no rood reason why it should be the only money crop that a southern planter should raise, especially whea there are so many others that pay as well, or better, than cotton. lteferrlaT to the crop reports of the Halted States Department of Agtisaltare tor the year 1111, It will be found that the gross vetwas w soass ef the leading crops are very attraetirs as eoopered to oettoc.

The pink boll worm, a worse enemy of cotton than the boll weevil, ha* advanced from Mexico throufh the Cotton Belt ae far as Louisiana. The United States Department of Agriculture has sounded a cry of warning, declaring that a very serious situation exists which calls for the closest co-operation between states and the government agencies that are socking to exterminate the pest. A special appropriation has been asked of congress. The appearance of this dreaded cotton enemy In Louisiana was a great surprise. ThoBe who were working for Its eradication thought that they had so confined It to a narrow strip in '^xas that it would be an easy measure to kill it by establishing a non-cotton sone. A much larger territory must now be watched and plans are on foot to destroy the growing cotton crops where rwi- It appears, destroying at the same time the onhatehed eggs and the worms ] If There Thing TL ; otl .
