If the southern farmer is to do his share in producing foods for man and beast, and, at the same time, grow cotton fibre for the nation, he must either increase his crop acreage, or else growconsiderably more per acre than customary. In view of the scarcity and high price of labor at the present time, it seems to be the part of wisdom tor farmers generally not to materially increase the crop acreage, but to increase the acre yields. Increase Yield Per Acre Acre yields can be increased by better nrenaration of the seed bed. by the use of good seed of varieties adapted to the region, by using a more liberal application of the right kinds of fertilizers and by better cultivation of the growing crops. While all of these factors influence acre yields, let us call particular attention at this time to the kind and amount of fertilizer to be used. Practically -all of the southern soils are deficient in phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash and these must be supplied in some form to get the largest yields and biggest farm profits. While the proper use of these materials wili increase the yields per acre and help cnnnlv thp nation's needs the wisp ?, farmer will at the same time strive to get the largest financial returns from their use. To do this, he must exercise care in buying them as well as in applying them. The farmer should understand that plants use fertilizers as foods only after they have been dissolved by the soil water, and that which is not soluble is not available to the plant It \ is to the farmer's interest, therefore, ; to know that the fertilizers he is buytof are guaranteed to oontaln a stated Amount of available plant teod. & . ? < -UjKm II ??1^?

Quick Acting Form. For the best results in the cultivation of general field crops, materials carrying phosphoric acid, nitrogen and some potash should be applied. Potash is more deficient fn the light and sandy soils than in clay soils. Not less than 150 to 200 pounds of complete fertilizers per acre should be used and hundreds of farmers find more than this amount to be most profitable. Fertilizers containing these necessary plant foods are generally essential for the most profitable production of all field crops. Since there is such a world-wide need for crops, and since farm products are higher now ^ 11 xl X X"U~ tnaii ever Deiore, it iunows mat me farmer who strives to fulfill the nation's needs just now by the use ol such plant food as is necessary, se cures at the same time the largest pos sible financial returns for himself. American-Made Potash Good As German Kind If there is any doubt in the mind of a farmer about using fertilizers containing American-made potash, in thcbelief that it is not as good as that which was formerly obtained from Ger many, his mind can be set at rest b> any chemist or agricultural authority Any one who knows in what form the potash exists in the American-made product will declare that muriate or i sufiate of potash is the same to the I plant whether it be obtained from American sources or Germany, and that the plant asks no questions as tc where it originated, but feeds on it t just the same. ! ____ Raise Home Supplies And Some To Spare "Store bought" foods and feeds an | too high priced for any farmer to pay, j even if he could liiul them for sale. The wise southern fanner will get in a crop of corn and velvet beans, potatoes, vegetables of various k?nds, grow a few hogs and poultry and otherwise look out for the needs of his family and his tenants. With ;all of food products bringing such good prices, the southern farmer should do a patriotic bit if he would raise enough to spare some for the armies whttt ki is nUsi&c his eotts* orof. iwc c I f twS>5i Buy Them And Help Win The War FOR SALE EVERYWHERE OYSTER SUPPER.
