If the southern farmer is to do his
share in producing foods for man and
' beast, and, at the same time, grow cot,
ton fibre for the nation, he must either
increase his crop acreage, or else grow
considerably more per acre than cus
ternary
In view^ of the scarcity and high
price of labor at the present time,
ft seems to be the part of wisdom
Cor farmers generally not to materially
increase the crop acreage, bat
to increase the acre yields.
^ > - Increase Yield Per Acre
' Acre yields can be increased by
hitter preparation of the seed bed, by
^ the use of good seed of rarieties adaptB
ed to the region, by using a more libB
oral application of the right kinds of
W fertilizers and by better cultivation of
r HIP |1UVIU| uvyo.
While all of these factors influence
acre yields, let us call particular at*
, tentlon at this atlme to the kind and
amount of fertiliser to be used. Practically
all of the southern soils are
v a, deficient in phosphoric acid, nitrogen
and potash and these must be supplied
I in some form to get the largest yields
and biggest farm profits. While the
' proper use of these materials will increase
the yields .per acre and help
supply the nation's needs, the wise
fanner will at the same time strive
to get the largest financial returns ,
from their use. To do this, he must'1
exercise care in buying them as well
as in applying them.
The farmer should understand that
plants use fertilizers as foods only after
they have been dissolved by the
soil water, and that which is not soluble
is not available to the plant. It '
is to the fanner's interest, therefore, 1
to know that the fertilizers he is buy- >
ing are guaranteed to contain a stated
* amount of available plant food. i

For the best results in the cultivation
of general field crops, materials
carrying phosphoric acid, nitrogen and
some potash should be applied. Potash
is more deficient fn the light and .
sandy soils than in clay soils. Not j
less than 150 to 200 pounds of com-;
plete fertilizers per acre should be j
used and hundreds of farmers find !
more than this amount to be most |
profitable. Fertilizers containing these ;
necessary plant foods are generally essential
for the most profitable produc- j
tion of all field crops. Since there is |
such a world-wide need for crops, and
since farm products are higher now
than ever before, it follows that the
farmer who strives to fulfill the na- ;
tlon's needs just now by the use of
such nlant food as is necessary, se
cures at the same time the largest pos- j
Bible financial returns for himself. j
American-Made Potash
Good As German Kind
If there is any doubt in the mind
of a 'farmer about using fertilizers containing
American-made potash, in the
belief that it is not as good as that
which was formerly obtained from Germany,
his mind can be set at reat by
any chemist or agricultural authority.j
Any one who knows in what form the i
potash exists in the American-made ;
product will declare that muriate or:
suflate of potash is the same to the
plant whether It be obtained from .
American sources or Germany, and
that the plant asks no questions as to |
where it originated, but feeds on It;
just the same.
Raise Home Supplies
And Some To Spare
"Store bought" foods and feeds are
too high priced for any farmer to pay, j
even if he could find them for sale, j
The wise southern farmer will get in
a crop of corn and velvet beans, pota
toes, vegetables of various "Kinds,
?row a few hogs and poultry and otherwise
look out for the needs of his
family and his tenants. With a.11
of food products bringing such good
prices, the southern farmer should do
a patriotic bit if he would raise enough
to spare some for the armies while ha
is raising his cotton crop.

pected to prove on* of the most critical
months of the war, and whether the
war is to be prolonged or shortened
will be decided to a great extent by
what the millions of Americans at
home do toward backing the army.
This is the judgment of prominent
government officials who visited Charleston
in the middle of the month.
One of the most significant utterances
made during the entire war was
made by a prominent German official
when America cast her lot with the
Allies:
"We do not fear the American soldiers,
because they cannot arrive In
time; what we fear is the intelligence
aad devotion of one hundred million
Americans trained to a faith in individual
initiative. The day that those
hundred millions act as one, that day
le Germany's doom!"
Hastening the Doom.
To enable the hundreds of millions
of Americans to act as one is one of
the main objects of the war savings
plan which the government is instituting
as a mighty weapon against Germany.
That is the underlying object
of the drive for war savings societies
which la being pushed daftng thie
month, and through which millions of
Americans are expected to pledge
themselves to stand pack of the army
and navy by avoiding needless expenditures
and thereby release the goods
and services which are needed to
equip the army and navy properly and
efficiently. R. Goodwyn Rhett, state
director for war savings, has issued
the following statement:
, "Joint the company of savers! Let
a company of savers back every company
of soldiers. The war savings
committee of your county is carrying
on a campaign this month for the formation
of war savings societies. War
Savings Societies make it easy for you
to join with others in saving a portion
of your earnings as they come in and
Invest them in War Savings Stamps
Every loyal man. weman, and child In
South Carolina should Join a War Savings
Society, not next week, but NOW.
Let us respond patriotically to the
government's call. Let us act as one.
and bring nearer Germany's day of
doom."

SEVEN REASONS FOR
SAVINGS.
There are seven good reasons
why the government has issued
War Savings Stamps:
1. Save for your country's
sake, beoause it is now spending
millions a day. and must find
most of the money out of savings.
2. Save for your own sake,
because work and wages are
plentifnl and, while prlees are
high now, a dollar will buy more
after the war.
3. Save beoauss, when 70a
spend, you make ether people
work for you, and flee work at
everyone is needed sow to win
the war.
4. Save because, by saving, yea
make things cheaper for everyone,
especially for those who are
poorer than you.
B. Save because, by going
without you relieve the strain
on ships, docks, and railways,
and make transport cheaper and
quicker.
I. Save because, by saving,
you set an example that makes
H taster for the next man te
save. A saving nation is an
earning nation.
7. Save beoaust every time
you save you help twice, flret
Xh-^n you don't spend, and avain
when you lend to the nation.
