G. BELL. Master. Feb. 12. 1930.-3t. CUT ACREAGE; FERTILIZE TO HAKE PROFIT .Dr. R. J. H. DeLoach, formerly Director of the Georgia State Ex periment Station and now Director of Agricultural Research for the Armour Fertilizer Works, has given out a most interesting and instructive interview dealing with the relation between high analysis fertilizers and the early maturity or harvesting of the crop. This interview from- such an acknowl edged agricultural leader, is of special interest at this time, in view of the fact that the farmers of the Southeast are now busily en gaged in the preparation of their fields for planting and the pur chase of fertilizers for use on them. It is a known fact that small acreage and more intensive culti vation and fertilization bring about bigger yields and larger profits. Dr. DeLoach’s interview on this subject is as follows: “Earliness may mean harvesting at an earlier date or it may mean only the shortening of the time be tween planting time and harvest time. When it applies to an earlier harvest, it is also related to the time of planting. If a crop is plant ed earlier, and is also properly fertilized, we are sure to have an early harvest. If the idea is to plant a little later and still harvest at the same time as suggested above, we would have to make use of the most readily available fer tilizers to . enable the later plant ing to overtake the earlier plant- iug. . , “The main idea in quickly solu ble high grade fertilizers- is . to shorten the time between planting and harvesting, and then let the climate, and the nature of the crop determine the time of planting. A long drawn out crop will always be more at the mercy of its natural enemies than one that is in a hurry to get through the season. If two or three, or four weeks can be saved in the time between planting and harvesting, we have enabled the plant to escape some of the danger to which it is subjected by the longer-growing period. “Insects, fungus diseases, wet and dry spells, and other unseen factors help to make the long drawn out crop unsafe and unde sirable. It must be evident, there fore, that the tendency in modern fertilizer application should be di rected towards a more completely controlled set of conditions in the growth period. “At the Ohio Experiment Sta tion, the time between the plant ing and silking date of com was shortened about* 21 days by using the quickly available fer tilizers. This in turn brought the grain to proportionately early ma turity. This enabled the crop to escape frost, and also made it much safer from the other enemies of corn. At the New Hampshire Experiment Station, Kraybill found that he could shorten very much the time between planting and blossoming of the tomato plant, but could not shorten the time between blossoming and opening. This in dicates in both the Ohio and New Hampshire Stations that the quickly soluble fertilizers did their work mostly in the early life of the plants. It was the young plants that could be made to grow faster and produce blossoms earlier by a quickly soluble fertilizer. This is the basis on which the higher grade fertilizers may be used, in addition to the fact that, they do help to increase the yield and im prove the quality as well as to hasten maturity. Pound for pound of plant food they will prove less costly on a plant food .basis, and this is the basis on which every farmer ought to buy his fertilizers.’* Back Quit Hurting "I was in a very weak condition from a serious sickness,” writes Mrs. L Leonard, 571 Joseph St, New Orleans, La. *T was so weak, I wanted to sleep all the time. I did not have strength to do anything. My back ached nearly all time, i was just in misery. "My mother told me 1 must arouse myself from the sleep iness, and take something to Help get my strength back. She had taken Cardin and had oeen helped, so I decided to take Cardui, too. After my first bottle, I could see that it was helping me. I took four bottles at this time. My strength came back and I gained weight. Pretty soon, I was my old self again. "My oacx quit hurting, and I haven't had any more trou ble since I took Cardui.” CARDUI HELPS WOMEN TO HEALTH American geologists arc giving attention to oil shales as a fu!n:r supply of oil.

Robinson Insurance Agency PHONE 66 McCormick What Is Your Claim? “Lord, I have come for a par don.” “And who are you?” “Me? Why don’t you know me. Lord? I’m the best man in all my home town. I’ve been as honest and upright with my neighbors as it is possible for a man to be.” “And your name?” “My name. Lord, is Mr. Moral ity.” “Mr. Morality; let me see. Most of these pardons read: ‘Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.’ And here is one^ that says: T came not to call the righteous but sinners. I don’t see any made out for Mr. Moral ity. But, are you a sinner?” “A sinner! I should say, not! There isn’t a person who knows me who can charge me with a single wrong. Why, I’m the most respectable citizen in town!” “Well, Mr. Morality, I’m sorry, very sorry, but I’m afraid there isn’t a single pardon for you.” Another one steps forward and asks for a pardon. “Who are you, friend?” “Mr. Religionist, Lord.” “And what claims have you to present for a pardon, Mr. Religion ist.” “Have I not been the most faith ful worker of all in my home church? Was I not a deacon and then an elder, and did I not la bor for the uplift of the people of my community? Yes; and more than that—did I not give thous ands of dollars to the church? Surely for pll this I deserve a par don, Lord!” “But are you a sinner, friend?” “A sinner! Indeed I am not! I have been religious all my life. I never strayed from the fold. In fact, I was brought up in the church.” “Well, Mr. Religionist, your claim of being religious I do not for a moment dispute. You are certain ly well named. But I regret to tell yod that all these pardons are made out to sinners. I have none for you.” “None for me! me. the most faithful churchman in the whole community! None for me! Don’t I deserve one?” “No^ none.” There comes another. He bows low as he approaches, and humbly requests a pardon. “And who are you, friend?” “Me, oh. I‘m nobody at all, Lord. I’m just a poor, sinful man.” “WeH, upon what ground do you expect to get a pardon?” “Only on the ground of the fin ished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have never done any thing to deserve it. I’m just a sin ner. Is there a pardon for a sin ner like me?” “Indeed there is, friend, and ar abundant one, too. ‘Christ Jesur came into the world to save sin ners.’ Here, take this one. I havr plenty for sinners like you. But oh, it is so hard to find sinners! You are pardoned.” Selected.

According to a bulletin issued by one of the largest life insurance companies in the world, “one seeks in vain for a single encouraging element in the automobile accid ent situation.” One-third of all the accidental deaths among pol- ’ icyholders of this company, during the larger part of last year, were | caused by the automobile. It is the only form of accidental death now on the increase in this coun try. During 1929, 31,500 people lost ; their lives in motor accidents. This was the largest casualty record in | history, representing a 13 per cent increase over 1928. Motor vehicle registrations increased but eight per cent during the year. To quote further from the in surance report, among the insur ed * the automobile has caused as many deaths as measles, scarlet ; fever, diphtheria and whooping ; cough—the ' four principal chil- !,dren’s diseases—combined.
