What Wheal Acreage Means.
The area t f winter wheat sown in
the fall of 1018 is est aviated by the
Department c Agriculture at 49,- 1
027,000 acre-, which is 15.9 per cent i
more than the revised estimate'! area }
sown in the fall of 1917. j
The winter wheat acreage speaks .
a volume in regard to the. need for ^
farm help. Tkrc< or four men will ;
be needed to haivest what one man <
has planted ?and there has been n<?
claim that there was a surplus cf
Labor for the planting operations. ,
The Department of Agriculture .
plans to maintain its organization j
that aided in supplying farm labor ,
in 1918. It will aim to tap every j
source of emergency help?men, j
women, and girls from the cities, the
Boys' Working Reserve, and other
organizations of that sort.
Permanent Labor Advocated.
The main effort of the department,
1 owevcr, is to be centered on placing
men permanently as helpers on the
Cm vm e iwm l oiv.nlnvf.il
t u; tun, i v. i i 11 ( u iv. i iv iu?/vi ? v v?
the year around under good living
conditions and /it fail* wages, is believed
to be one of the prime nocds
on literally millions of American
farms.
Many soldiers and men who have
left the farms for war industries?
and figures show that war industries
took more men from the farms than
were given to the Army?are expected
to return to the farms if they
are offered permanent and profitable*
employment.
What is the farmer's part in making
farm labor permanent? In the
first place, department officials believe,
every farm that has an idle
period during a part of the year
should so plan its operations that
there will he work through every
season. Crops can be rotated, live
stock fed, dairying pursued, and
poultry produced. These activities,
added to grain production, will solvr
the problem in many sections it j
believed.
Large numbers of married men
should he working on the farms, it
is stated. To get them, better tenant
houses are needed in many cases and
permanent employment is a prime
necessity. To help meet the nee<l for
fcootl tenant houses the department
has developed plans for model structures.
(Cooperation Helps Farmers.
One feature of the department's
work deals with stimulating cooperation
and exchange of labor
among farmers. For example it recently
has listed the heads of more
than 1,000 thrashing rings in Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan.
These rings include from it to *.0
farms and involve not onlv eoonera
tive purchase of a thrashing machine,
hut also the cooperative ar?t
ngement of crews for harvesting
and thrashing.
T? ir? mImo hps proved so successful
that the same idea is spreading to
other kinds of farm work which can
best be handled by crews or teams of
men.

SERIOUS TO FARMERS
AND TORAILROAOi
That the fertilizer movement ha ^
been slow this year and that congestion
of traffic is probable unless 1
farmers put in their orders at one",
: . a I. l l . r __ A A i ?
?:s uh: uuruen 01 a statement issue
yesterday by Regional Railroad I) rector
Winched, which is as follows: !
"Please let me say a word to our .[
fanner patrons. i ,
"The normal yearly movement o;' ;
fertilizers in this region runs from
three million to five million tons. ,
This means, in round figures, 100,000
carloads to he handled.
"Ordinarily most of this very
large item of traffic is thrown on th'
railroads in the months of January, (
February and March. Great activity
on their part is necessary to i
handle the same well.
"By February 10 at least 40 per <
cent of the whole fertilizer tonnage !<
has usually been shipped, but this
year less than 15 per cent has movod
so far; that is to say, the movement
up to date is about 50,000 cars
short of what it should have been.
"It is easy for you to see what I
fear.
"A flood of business at the last
moment cannot be moved to the satisfaction
of our patrons and complaints
will surely follow. We ,iro
anxious to avoid comnlaints. but it i 1
. I
obvious that wo cannot movo all ol
this tonnage at one time. In order
tc do the job right it is necessary
that it bo well distributed throughout
the whole three months.
"During the past four or five
weeks car conditions and we.attmr
have been favorable, but the fertilizers
have not moved freely and immedaite
activity is now necessary t>
I avoid a condition which will be ser1
ious alike to the farmers ,und th?
. railroads."?Atlanta Constitution.

STUDIES BEST WAYS
OF USING FERTILIZERS
The enormous fertilizer consumplirn
in the United States, amounting
to more than a hundred million dollar.
prior to the war, has undergone
if' the la t f \v years a decided
eiv. gr, not so much in volume as
composition of the fertilizing
> t' rials. This has . forced a carc.ul
study of ratios of essential planifood
constituents on prominent and
essential crops.
Test Fields Working.
Accordingly, small field plats for
the study of fertilizers have been established
by the United States Department
of Agriculture on different
jails and undo'- diflarct agricultural'
conditions. The test ficids now <n
operations are at Prcsquo Isle, Me.,.
I Slate College, Pa.; Norfolk, Va.; '
Florence, S. G\; Pecan City, Ga.; '
Putney, Ga.; Th'omasvillc, Ga.; Mon. |
ticello, Fla.; Orlando, Fla.; Ashland,
Wis.; and Scottxburg, Ind. |
Special field tests have been con- 1
I
ducted to determine the smallest
quantities of potash which will meet j
the requirements of the tobacco
plant, more especially on the lighter
soils of the flue-'ured district. !
I Marked responses have been obtain- '
j ed with only 24 pounds and even as
'low as 12 pounds, of potash per acre.
These applications have sufficed t,o
prevent the appearance?of the characteristic
synfptoms of potash deficiency
which the plant shows when
| no potash is supplied in the fertiliz'
er. It has been possible also to establish
an appreciable dfiforence be|t\veon
the sulphate and the muriate
of potash in their action on the
plant.
Some Products Found Worthless.

has brought forth numerous fertili- j

concerning the value of which
little is known, and a considerable
increase in such test work seems

the department. Some of them are
