THE HORRY HERA IJ Consulting The About Fert representative southern i agent;., tell what they use of fertilizers?> practic, By J. N. Harper, Director, Soil I i 1 i What do the farmers themselves say about the use of fertilizers? Certainly no one ia more qualified to speak'as to their value than they. This question has been asked of a groat many farmers in the Southeast, and their answers are most enlightening. The writer obtained through the County Demonstration Agents the naxios of more than a thousand of .the most representative farmers living in the Ates of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. To these were sent a questionnaire asking fbr information as to the yields obtained from cotton and corn, and the formula ami amount of fertilizer used. They were also asked to give the soil type. Several hundred answers were received and these have- been carefully classified according to crop yields. Results on Cotton Yields. Grouping the reports of the farmers front the Coastal P iln Region, the following results were shown; Ave)ago Yield Average Ami, Lint Cotton Of Fertilizer Per Acre Used Per Acre. 1G0 Lbs 300 Lbs. or.rk i * liim, , i . , . ?5 i 0 lit)8, 37") Lbs 518 Lbs. 500 Lbs 645 Lbs.

The average formula of this fertilizer was 8.4 per cent phosphoric acid, 3.1 per cent nitrogen, and 2.6 per cent pot ash. After classifying the reports according to yields, the following results wore obtained: I Average Yield Average Amt. Of Corn Of Fertilizer Per Acre.

The reports from the Piedmont Region showed the average yield from all reporting as 33.2 bushels of corn per acre with the average amount of for- j tilizer 330 pounds. j The formula averaged 8.7 per cent J phosphoric acid, 2.5 per cent nitrogen, and 1.9 per cent potash.

The above results from the fanners themselves strikingly coincide with the results obtained at the southern experiment stiitions, and these figures show that as the use of fertilizers Is increased, so is agricultural production increased. Many thousands of acres of land in the Coastal Plains of the South, when first cleared, did not produce more than 10 bushels of corn per acre. Today, they are producing 'from 40 to SO bushels, by the liberal use of fertilizers. Crop .yields must be greatly increased to meet the constantly growing demand for foodstuffs and other agricultural products. The most ecoI noirilcal way to produce crops is by increasing the atire yield, and there are but two ways ?T doing this?by better I 1 ^ * 1 * I^uiiuriii uit'imws anil oy tne mors libr^jpril use of p^Hnt food.

In a farewell message to the French people before leaving Brest today, President Wilson said be bi.i I been received and treated ,?.s a j friend, as be had most desired to b?i treated. He added that he was bap- ! py to return to France to assist in | completing the just settlement of j the peace conference. The president arrived in Brest! from Paris at 10:30 o'clock and went direct to the dock, where ho embaric- j L'd on a French gunboat, which ! took him and his party to tho George Washington. The president was received at the drestt arsenal by Admiral Morcau of ho "French navy; General Holmiclc, he military cornmandcr at Brest; 'har'tos M. Schwab and civil autlori-j' ies. There was no ceremony except! uindshaking and a salute of 21 guns ^hieh thundered forth as soon as the ] resident embarked on the gunboat. ; AO OR SHORTAGE REPORTED HERE i Washington.?Employment condiiens in the South, east of the Misissippi during the last week were nmmarized today by the United lates employment service as fol>ws: f Memphis -reports a shortage of r */;"G farm labor with a surplus of bite labor.

Washington.?Although no general extension of time for filing in1 come tax returns will be authorized. CoiTuvriosiorcv Roper announced that j corporations which can not complete (returns by March 15, will be permitted to return the estimated tax i and make a revised return within 45 days. It was explained that by this plan, the government would be able i to collect the approximate instalment next month to meet its urgent needs and corporations actually need j ing an extension of time would :n effect receive it. Taxpayers will not be relieved of interest on such amount as a payment may fall short of the tax found later to be due. If the installment due March 15 is greater than shown by the completed return the [excess will be credited to the next payment. j "One of the advantages to the taxpayer," said Commissioner Roper, "is that it relieves him of one-half of 1 per cent, interest per month that would attach to the payment of tlv taxes under an extension granted at j his request." Provision for systematically hand, ling this new feature will bo made | in t ho construction of the new return j | blanks for corporations and a statej ment in writing of the reason why it is impossible for the corporation to i complete the return on the specified jdnte must accompany every such remittance.

Pans.?The supreme Allied war council has do'wlrxl ??vc ? l,n"" , . .J j ?-? llUV'l^ report, that the armistice with Germany will he renewed on February 17 for a very brief period with th" Allies reserving the right to suspend it at any time in the event of Germany's failure to carry out new claw; es or those which have hitherto not be en exec"iit? d. It is said that th? U rms will provide that the Germans must ci ase hostilities against tli v polos and maintain their forces with ir? fixed limits. During the brief period of the rere-wed armistice, a special comjYv'st ion will definitely draft the condition.-; of the armistice which will last till the signature of the peace preliminaries. These conditions, which the supreme war tsun. il is reporto I to have approved in .a rough form yesterday have in view, it is said, the demobilization of the German army.and the disarmament of tlu?. enemy under the supervision of the Allies, Thf.se terms, it is understood, will ho communicated to Germany so that the national assembly at Weimar will have time to deliberate upon them until the provisional .utmjst'cQ expires. Foch to Draw Terms, Marshal Foch, who leaves for Treves today, will interview Premier Cicmenceau at 8 o'clock this morning and will begin drafting the armistice provisions which the supreme war council will probably examine this afternoon. It is reported that M. Clemenceau made an impressive jspeech at yesterday's sitting of the council, showing the necessity ot taking all desirable precaution* lagviinst Germany. At the afternoon [sitting, President Wilson is declared to have adopted the same viewpoint affirming that all the Allies wore agreed on that point and the divergencies of which turned up during previous discussions bore solely on the most suiVible methods of obtaining tlie necr. sary guarantees. Pres.id "at Wilson's View. President Wilson, according to the report, is understood to have declared in conversation, that a resumption of hostilities was a grave eventuality to which he wcuh! agree only on the most absolutely essential considerations and not for any secondary motive. The report states that, in Mr. Wilson's opinion, the non-exccution of terms of the armistice by Germany would be an incilent of such nature as to justify the resumption of war and it is? stated hat he would not hestitatc in that ase to order the American army to ake up arms again. 3RADUAL REDUCTION INARMED FORCE Washington.?Col.
