Sixty thousand Americans, lie asleep

surely no other sentence could toll the
3tcry half so well. "Dead for France."
Probably the best known poem of
the war is one .quoted below, "In Flandors
Fields." breathing the fine spirit
of sacrifice for an ideal. "America's

was in vain. and now when victory
in battle is won comes "America's

The larks,still bravely singing, fly.

Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders doad.

We're taken up. And we will keep
True faitli with you who be asleep.
With eac-.lt a cross to mark his bed,
And pepp'os bloving oRrrlitfad,
Where once his own life blood ran

So let your rest he sweet and deep
In Flanders fields.
Fear not that ye have died for naught.
The torch ye threw to use we caught.
Ten million hands will hold it high.
And freedom's light shall nevpr die!
We've learned the lesson that ye
taught.

South.
The writer recently obtained from
county agents the names of leading
farmers of North and South Carolina
who make a bale or more of cotton
per acre. These farmers were addressed
a letter and aBked, among
other things, to. tell how they fertilized
their cotton. In these answers

A "tew of these reports that are typical
of the rest are given herewith:
Mr. J no. C. Fletcher, McColl, S. C.
Kind of soil: "Light loam with clay

Fertiliser used and method of applying:
"Use about 1,400 lbs. per
acre; half applied just before planting,
and the other half about June 15tli."
Mr. B. D. Mann, Enfield, N. C.
Kind of soil: "Sandy loam and
heavy loam to gray stiff soil."
Fertilizer used and method of ap
plying. "From 500 to 1,000 lbs. per acre
of an 8-3-3. At time of planting use
from 400 to 600 lbs., about June 1st
when cotton is chopped out make another
application of 400 lbs."
Mr. Fred H. Young. Timmonsville, S. C.
Kind of soil: "Sandy loam with
clay subsoil."
Fertilizer used and method of applying:
""JoO to 1,000 lbs. of fertilizer

about ten days later. Fertilizer ai>plied
in three applications; 500 lbs.

application of 500 lbs.; and still
another application of 200 to 250 lbs.

. Mr. B. F. Shelton, Speed, N. C.
Kind, of soil: "Norfolk loam, or
dark gray soil."
Fertilizer used and method of applying:
"SOU lbs. of a 9-5-2 used per
acre (during normal times an 8-4-4).
Half of fertilizer applied in drill at
time of planting; the other half when
cotton Is 5 to 6 inches high." ,
Mr. A. G. Clarkson, Wateree, S. C.
Kind of soil: "Ruston loam."
Fertilizer used and method of applying:
"1,500 lbs. of a fertilizer analyzing

manure in drill before planting. Apply
one-third of fertiliser as a side
application when plants are about
knee high."
Mr. H. A. Monroe, Cameren, N. C.
Kind of soil: "Gravelly sandy loam
with clay subsoil."
Fertilizer used and method of applying:
"600 to 800 lbs. of fertiliser
per acre used. Part applied at time
Qf preparing the land, and 200 to '300
lbs.* applied as side dressing before
blooms appear."

Apply fertilizer in drill about ten days
prior to planting. Side dress One or
two times about June 20 and July 10."
Mr. W. F. Peterson, Clinton, 8. C.
Kind of soil: "Dark gray."
Fertilizer used and method of applying:
"400 lbs. when rows are
laid off; 250 lbs. as side application
at second plowing after chopping, and
250 lbs. as another side application
when plants are knee high."
Side Applications to Cotton.
At the time the cotton plant is ia
full bloom ample plant food muBt be
available or else a large percentage
ol' the squares will shed. While there
are other factors that cause shedding,
for example, a lack of a proper amount
of moisture; still, It has been proven
that even with the most favorable
moisture conditions, a lack, of plant
food is the potent cause of this
trouble.
Under boll weevil conditions, the
fertilizer used in side applications
should contain a high percentage of
phosphoric acid and a rather low percentage
of nitrogen. This fertilizer
has the effect of forcing the young
bolls to quick growth and early maturity.
Side Application* to Corn.
While it usually pays to make ft
larger side application of fertilizer for
' cotton than for corn, still,, many of
the best farmers in the Southeast
advocate liberal side applications for
corn. ,
The period of the growth of com 1ft
much shorter than that of cotton; consequently,
there must be present tft
the soil large supplies of available
plant food at the critical period 41 lift
growth, which is from the time ft Is
