Fertilization of Wheat The following statement concernini the fertilization of wheat this fall win issued by the department of agricultura extension at Purdue University, July 31, 1917: The fertilization of the wheat cror was never more important than it will be this fall. From every part of Indiana come reports of excellent results secur ed from fertilization and the very pool yields of wheat secured from unfertiliz -ed soil. By fertilizing, the farmer swaps dollars for-eagles. Evidence on the profitableness of fertilizing the wheat is abundant. In 1.116 L. M. Waggoner of St. Joseph county, applied 200 pounds of acid phos -'hate to the acre on all but a small part a field sown to wheat. From the fer 'tilized part he secured 22.4 bushels of wheat to the acre, and on the unfertil ized, 12.5 bushels to the acre-a gain of '1.9 bushels, due to fertilizing. This year 200 pounds of acid phos -phate will cost about $2.25, and; wheat is worth $2.00 per bushel. On this basis the increase secured by Mr. Wagonner would be worth $19.80 and the profit after counting expenses of applying fer tilizer and paying for harvesting and marketing the increased crop would be more than $5 an acre. If that isn't a case of swapping dollars for eagles it comes very near to it. The Ohio experiment station of Woos ter, as an average for the last twepity two years, has secured an increase of 8.0 bushels to the acre from an applica tion of 160 pounds of acid phosphate to the acre. The unphosphated yield has been 11.2 bushels and the phosphated 19.2 bushels. Where 1000 pounds of potash has been added to the phosphate the yield has been 20.4 bushels to the acre, or an increase of 1.2 bushels more than was secured from phosphate alone. Even at present prices for wheat and before-the-war prices for potash the in crease in the wheat crop was not suf fcient to pay the cost of the potash. The addition of potash to fertilizers containing phosphorous and nitrogen will not be profitable when applied to clay and loam soils. Nine farmers out of ten should fer tilize wheat this fill. Fertilizer not .only increases the yield directly, but the greater supply of available plant food makes stronger plants that with stand the attack of fungus diseases and insects better than those unfertilized. At present prices the farmer may ex pect a return of at least five dollars for every dollar spent for wheat fertilizer this fall. The importance of ordering early cannot be too strongly emphasized. Those who order early will get what they want, while those who order late will have to take what is left or do with out.

No. 3, Columbia, S. C., says: "If ever there was a remedy that has done me good it is Ironized Paw. Paw. I was afflicted with stomach troubles, sluggish liver and nervousness. Reading-in the newspapers the good you were doing I decided to give it a trial as I could get no relief and since y(.ur remedy was not a "cure-all," but compounded for just such troubles as I was suffering from.- I gave it a most thorough test, taking it strictly accord ing to directions. The result has been very gratifying. I feel now full of en ergy; my liver is acting quite normal and my stomach feels like new-all the nervous feeling has eft me, and I can honestly say that Ironized Paw-Paw does all that you say it will. I certainly will always have some at home, as it is good for old and young alike." So the good reports come in from every section. One cured person spreads the news to his friends of this depend able tonic which wakes old stomachs almost as good Us new, and so the wave of health goes on and on. People who have been troubled for years with sleep lessness say that since taking Ironized Paw-Paw they can sleep all night and get up feeling strong and refreshed. If you need a tonic, if you need strength and good cheer, try a bottle of Ironized Paw-Paw and become as happy as Mr. Frank Thomas. Your druggist possibly keeps it, but if he doesn't it is sold in Pickens by the Pickens Drug Company. Ironized Paw-Paw, price $1. Formula on every bottle. Mail orders proinptly attended to.
