Sixty thousand Americans, lie asleep in Franco, "Morte Pour France"? 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.

Battle Scarred Tanks ~ " V. "No road is Impassable, no stunt im ossible," is the slogan of tbe crows >t the twenty real buttle tanks now ouring tbe Fifth Federal Reserve Dis rict in the interest of the Vjctorj liberty Loan. These tanks, manned by crews whc aw active service on the Western runt, ure ?>f tbe six-ton whippet type be kind that proved so efficient tn >attle. They are in full battle rega ia. even to tbe cumoullage coat ol taint. The turrets, from rthich the machine tuns project, are arranged to revolve to that the guns may be quickly uimed n any direction. This feature, couplud vith the great agility of the whippet .unks make them unusually effective n action. These agile steel terriers just "eat jp" sticky spring roads, so even the ^ p Fertilizing Gi DOES I ,; J. N. Hi Soil Improvement Comir Side applications of fertilizers to the growing crops as a supplement to a first application made ut seeding time Is quite widely practiced in the 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 large proportion. Teport_that^|g n/ahe side applications of ferfl^PB 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 subsoil." 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 used. April 1st apply 500 lbs. of fertilizer, ridging on Fame and planting about ten days later. Fertilizer ai>plied in three applications; 500 lbs. b-fore planting; about May 1st, another application of 500 lbs.; and still another application of 200 to 250 lbs. June 1st." . 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 10% phosphoric acid, 3% nitrogen, and no potash. Apply twothirds of fertilizer at time of preparing the land and one-third in May or June." Mr. S. P. Winburne, Como, N. C. Kind of soil: "Light loam."

Apply fertiliser and stable 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." Mr. F. H. Waller, Kingston, N. C. soil: "Gray'sandy soil." zer used and meth<aW?of &pplyinin "800 lbs. per acre of a 10-4-8, 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 1 waist high to tasselllng time. | e York manufacturers will do.
