Reports from every section show there has been a material drop in the .fertilizer customarily used at plant ing. . Unless crops receive a side- dressing of quick-acting nitrogen during the next few weeks, acre yields are bound to be low. Low acre yields mean highci costa per unit which will make it difficult for farm ers to‘thow a profit at present prices. •Southern agricultural leader- are unanimous in the opinion that it will pay to side-dress this year. A sum mary of their recent statements shows that, in view’ of the light ap plication of fertilizer under the crop as well as the extreme importance of making high acre yields, cotton and «.*orn should be liberally side-dressed with quick acting nitrogen. Assum ing a reasonably favorable season, this practice will pay on cotton and ■corn, even at present prices. The most effective" time to side- dress cotton and corn is about 45 •days after planting. The fertilizer should be put out on cotton after - chopping and before squaring, and on __corn when the plants are about knee- AtMUEV, -IgJB.qKir ADVERTISE IN The People- Sentinel.

C., and we came out victorious. I recollect the first man that was killed at Kinston wa 8 Mullinax. I was near him and my old Colonel then was McMaster. He hollered for the litter bearer at the front and they took him off the field. A good many were killed there. We were next ordered to Jackson, Mississippi, and we fought there for eight days, fought old General Grant and he disappeared, we were too much for him. Then we were ordered North. We landed at Petersburg, Virginia, and right off the train right into a fight, they called it tfien Clay Farm. There we whippen them again. vWe continued to fight and went into an every day and night fight with Grant. And then Lee formed a fort within a mile of Petersburg, four pieces of heavy artillery^ Grant could not outdo us there and so he underminded the works and blew us up with powder. We had three lines, first, second and third lines of soldier 8 in them works. He blew all three * . - lines up and such a slaughter I never saw, I was on the extreme left of it and just did escape.
