Depths of Despair.
There is 110 despair so absolute as
that which comes with the first mo

we have not yet known what it is to
have suffered and be healed, to have
despaired and to have recovered hope.

The farmer is Ijelng advised on every
hand to fncredse production, but
he is limited in his ireait and he finds
it hard to obtain sufficient labor, ^he
best way to increase the production
of corn and other fiod crops, as well
as cotton, is to cultivate thoroughly
and often and make side applications
of fertilizers. If thei farmer hasn't the
money to hire labor, wider present conditions,
it will pay him to borrow
money on his crop to pay sufficient
labor to cultivate and fertilize his
crops adequately, 'After each rain a
dust mulch should be made with the
cultivator. We need not expect a
bountiful harvest unless the soil moisture
is conserved. As a general rule,
the amount of corn produced is in direct
proportion to the amount of water
conserved in the soil by thorough
cultivation. .
Hon. J. A. Wade, Commissioner of
Agriculture of Alabama, in a circular
letter issued to the farmers makes
this statement,?"It is evident that the
acreage planted to corn in the State
of Alabama has been increased 40 to 50
per cent and the farmers are to be
congratulated for taking such a wise
step. A large yield of corn is greatly
needed and is probably the most profitWork

me to apply 200 or 300 pounds of fertilizer
around my corn the second or
third plowing, or when the corn was
between one and three feet high."
The com crop is the bread of the
South, and its yield should be increased
to the limit. This fall and next
winter the southern people should eat
more corn bread and less wheat
bread.
Our farmers must not fail to produce
all the hay possible, and it will
pay to fertilize a patch of sorghum
and peas with a fertilizer containing
from 10 to 12 per cent phosphoric acid
and V/j to 2 per cent nitrogen.
Cotton is not generally recognized
as a food crop, but the country musl
not overlook the fact that an acre of
cotton tha't will produce a bale will
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 increased
food and feed products.
Fertilizers are used for the plant
food they contain, and it will be impossible
to produce profitable yields
without ample plant food. Just what
fertilizer to apply and how much to
use as a side application will depend
on the soil type, the crop planted, and
the kind and amount of fertilizer pseq

to 'he corn when about knee high
