One of your most pressing problems and one to be acted upon without delay, is the matter of obtaining your fertilizer. In spite of the best efforts of tha manufacturers and the Government* materials for making fertilisers are icarce and high in price. Therefore* It is all the more necessary that what fertilizers are to be distributed, should be used upon soil that has received the rery best preparations the farmer is capable of giving. The mobilization of our army, relulling a maximum movement ot roop trains and supply trains, has o* ?r-taxed the capacity of our railroads is never before, and in order for feeilisers to be distributed this season, he movement must of necessity, befin early and the unloading of cars it destination be done with utmost lespatch. Every car must be loaded o capacity. Today fertilisers are cheaper than arm crops or farm labor. A bale of jotton, a bushel of corn, oats or vheat, will buy more pounds of fertflzers now than ever before, hence to issure the performance of a patriotic luty, with great profit to yourself, orler your fertilizers promptly so that rou may be sure to get them.
