For the beat results in the cultiva- ; ion of general field crops, materials carrying phosphoric acid, nitrogen and some potash should be applied. Pot- * ish is more deficient fn the light and <andy soils than in clay soils. Not , less than Ifr to 200 pounds of complete fertilisers per acre should be ised 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 mil field crops. Since there is *uch a "world-wide need for crops, and dnce 'farm products are higher now than ever before, it follows that the farmer who strives to fulfill the natiorite needs just now by the use <of such plant food as is necessary, secures at the same time the largest possible financial returns for himself. l American-Made Potash Good As German Kind If there is any doubt in the mind <>f a farmer about using fertilizers conmining American-made pot.a li, in the belief that it is not as good as thai which was formerly obtained from Germany, his mind can he .set at rest by any chemist or ag'ieuldiral authority. Any one who knows in what form tin potash exists iu he .American-mude product will detdare Hint muriate or suflutc of polash is the same to tin plant whether it he -obtained from American sources or (lermanv, and that the plant asks no questions as to where it originated, 'hut feeds on it just the same. i | Raise Home Supplies And Some To Spare "Store bought" foods and feeds are too high priced for .any farmer1 to pay, even if he could find them for sale. The wise southern farmer will get in a crop of corn and 'velvet beans, potatoes, vegetables various kfnds, grow a few hogs amd poultry and otherwise look oul for the needs of his family and his tenants. With tall of food products .bringing such good prices, the southern farmer should do a patriotic bit if for would raise enough to spare some for the armies while he is raising his cotton crop. * in the South ! i KPO ? DWS READY TO ! LABOR SHORTAGE lix times this amount of money ox-j jondod in labor. For example,, one h on of good fert ilizer will now cost | ibout $46.00. The plant food in This luamity when applied to three acres 1 )f land will give an increase of about .( f50 pounds of lint cotton and 1,500! 1 )ounds of seed. The lint at 30c per j )ound amounts to $225.00, and the I teed at $K0.00 per ton amounts to 1 >60.00. making a total of $285.00. 'I Few business concerns net 50 per :ent increase on money invested in j abor, but, granting that the farmer * vill net 100 per cent on his invest- J nent in labor, and supposing that he j tays $1.00 per day for labor, the * '46.00 invested in fertilizer, when in- ^ 'osted in labor, would net him $46.00; j vhereas, when Invested in fertilizer, it J :ives him a net increase of $23J#.00. | Thus it can be seen the tremendous dvantage of supplementing labor rith liberal applications of plant food j Likewise an improved piece of nia* I 'hlnery that makes it possible to cub | f a - i*?w H'?i acre or cotton or corn with I lerhaps half the labor ordinarily ene I doyed, and cultivate it better, should >e looked to at this time as a source if help in facing the labor shortage, d Good seed of a strain known to do J tell in a community will do much to* Q t'ard increasing yields, without an In- J reuse of acreage. j Is this not a time when the farwr ( hould bo sure to use these three crop J (lakers, to the fullest extent, to off J et the labor shortage?

HOMEUFEOF THE PRESIDENT Spends Time in Family Circle in Reading Books or Conversation. At the centre of the war is the President, on whose word the nation waited to beg-in its preparation, : , whose word the nation began when he said1 that the hour had struck. He is not only commander in chief of r.l the war forces, but also director in chief of all the civil and industrial forces contribuatory and auxiliary t* the actual war making power. In him centres responsibilities as it centres in 110 other single individual in th . .1 4 ~ 1 r ' 1 . . *wm M! umihv; i rum mm ruuiaies in authority that reaches into eve \\ lvunrhold from which a son may be clrafvccl t.) arms, to every farm on whose pr -duct the government ma\ ret a p ice. In all this titanic store, he is the cc Ire. Yet, in outward aspect, there is n j quieter ho ne in the land than hi 1 homo, the White liou -e an apt a ia: ogy to thc physical . act that at th I centre of the whirlii ; cyoloi t? there s stillness, writes Stockton Axson, brother-in-law of the president. It is to the credit of It e America t people that most of them, with a fcv. glaring and unlovely exception*, un derstand and appreciate the ston necc ssity of leaving the man unhar assed with lesser details, in orde that he may devote an unjaded min to the crucial major problems; that li who bears on his shotilevs the c<> lossal responsibility of the welfare of a hundred million Americans, and a large share of the responsibility of Allied Europe besides, should be permitted privacy and the quiet, though; essential to epoch making decisions. "Do not talk to the motorman" is the legend in the electric street car. and when space permits, the motorman :s shut into a special chamber where n is physically inaccessible to those who arc inconsiderate of signs ami com non sense. He whose ticklish task demands all his attention should be al*e\ved to give all his attention to his task. The "White House The outward physical aspect of th White Houwe in the evening is m calm contact to the rattle and roar and glare of the neighboring streets. The house is remote from 'the high, way, encompassed with a park suv ounded by an no? fences the many gates closed, at each gate a po) heman within, a soldiier seotinol without. From the pffist lights of the front gatt'es to the huge Lantern of the portooochere the gnuwllod divv? ays sweep in long crescent curve.; tnrough a space unlighted except when moonbeams are filtering through the reticulated .branches of the elm trees, ?aks laan'l -sycamores, leafless in November. In that same sum, snont moonlight the house take3 iin adck<d -quiet dignity, for it .archite" lure has an affinity for moonlight, as lias a "Greek temple. Fortunately, tlv house war built before Americans for gcft what their Colonial ancestor knew about comely architecture, know ledge which strangely lapsed in the middle period of our nationaltv, hie happily, was recollected again in the last few decades. The proportions of the White House, the long, simple lines, the white walls, white porticos and white columns, are always a rewarding sight to the lover of beauty, but never more so than w hen the friendly moon is working its unobtrusive magic. High power elect ic lamps light the front entrance wit'i brilliancy benefitting a public build-j ing, but the windows of the sreon ! \ story glow with a mellow inner ligh', a domestic light. The household life within is very i domestic. It is 8 o'clock of an even ing. The family has dined and com up stairs to the "oval room," large, | with massive furniture upholstered in rose color, hut the real "livin room" of the family, and mnde cosily livable by a hundred intimate touches, of books and family pictures and friendly oil lamns on iho t?hln? -??? i a cherry wood fire crackling' * on the hearth, and, above all by the human occupants in the simplicity of a life as domestic as any of America. The Family Circle. Perhaps, and most likely, the President himself has had to leave the circle for awhile and go into his ad- i mining private office (his public office is outside, in the executive build 1 ing) to read and sign some papers < such motormen papers!) or to to talk with a cabinet officer over a private telephone, or (this more rarely) to 1 nold a personal interview with sonm Yiember of his official family, an interview made necessary by some udden turn of critical affairs. But so ( >oon as be can he will rejoin the fam-i 1 55 ily in the oval room, to chat wtih them or to read aloud from some book, perhaps a new book whose wisdom and pertinency have appealed to him or perhaps an old book, some favorite of earlier days when life ran more evenly through the sheltered streets of Princeton, before events transplanted him and before the world burst in tempest about his ears. Whether he is reading or conversing, the women of the family are busy with their incessant knitting. All through the day, in spasmodic intrivals, stolen moments from multiffcjiVv! o*1- r duties, they have knit , in . . c evening is solely dedicated to knitting. In the evening knitting is the "business," anything else an "interruption." Busily th amber needles click and cross and whip the gray yarn into form and soldier comfort, into sweaters, helmets, wristlets and socks. If there is any pause in the knitting it is to d'scuss in technical language some ir.tvioate problem of stitch or fit. The President's head has been used more than once for a "model" or dem n j .t ration of an abstruse'helmet prob lorn. The President's hands are some j times utilized for holding yarn which -.lust be woui.d into balls, feminine ' hands being too much occupied I'a * lu ll secondary service. K nit t ing. Other women less informed the Mrs. Wilson may have been terrp lily misled by falso rumors abet.: th,> unimportance of knitting. Mr .' Y\ ilson hno.es too much not to kno. | how greatly needed knitting is, not' o know that any n mark which, is irll u-preted as meat ing that this wo k s superi'luous is a remark misinter- | i rcted. She knows what her husband i knows, what Secretarv H.okor nn.l | Secretary Daniels know, that for ev- t ?ry reason this work must go on i She knows that our soldiers mu l have their bodies warmed by these i woolen garments and their hearts! warmed for their grim task by the | videnee that the women of America ; are cooperating with them. So Mrs. Wilson knits continuall r, j Hers are serious duties, duties which j at times touch the very nerve and purpose of this war, but grave and exacting and momentous as these I duties ar?i they do not minimize to , her understanding th(? urgent necessity of making just as many knitted soldier garments as she can. All the women who surround her knit. Her mother, Mrs. Rolling* has cou?e to dinner, and after dinner she knits. Miss Bones is knitting practically every evening., and, much in the intervals of a ibusy day. Mrs. j i McAdoo knits when she drops in for l| an evening call. If Miss Margaret ' Wilson is not knitting it is because she is in continual travel on concert tours in the interests of the Red Cross. If ther0 am women from out of town, they, too, ui*e knitting, and that | friend who makes a suggestion that will expedite or improve work is gnvtc fully remembered. What would happen to a woman caller who shouldn't knit is pure speculation, f*r none has had the temerity to try the experiment. The "order of the day" in the White House is, "Knit and keep on knitting." If any American soldier shivers; with cold at home <>Y abroad it will j not be of the fault of Mrs. Wilson and her household. They are "doing J their bit" as fast as deft hands can. o NOTICE OF SALE.
