Arkansas farmers can make

hogs and how to cure and smoke
'the products. This bulletin can be

The man who subscribes for a
goy& rnment bond, and is advertised
as a patriot for doing so, is not a
patriot it be immediately sells that
bond on thv- market when he does
not imperativ ely need the mon?v.
It is not mere subscription to a
bond that helps the gov
ernmsnt; it is by actually lending
monev to the government and not
by merely promising it and shifting
the load to some one else that the
^citizen really helps in this great
time. _
THL COURSE OE A DOLLAR.
If t„' easy to visualize the course
of a dol.'^r saved from waste and
invested in government bonds:
First, it g09t' to the government as
a loan for thff war; second, it is ex
pended by the government for
food, clothing and ammunition
■which go directly to a gallant sol
dier cr sailor, whose fighting
strength is kept up by the food,
whose body is kept warm by the
‘clothing, and whose enemy is hit]
by the ammunition. It has not
been expended in the purchase of
needless food and clothing for the
man at home, and is therefore re
leased for the use of the soldier: it
is saved wealth to the man at
home and can be loaned to his gov
ernment at interest, with resulting
benefit to himself and to his gov

Better Farming in the South
The Present Fertilizer Situation
By J. N. Harper, Director Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Georgia.
No claims of people
is more red-blood
ed and patriotic
than the farmer,
and everybody is
looking to him to
do his best. In
view of the fact
that the whole
world is demand
i n g agricultural
products, now is
his golden oppor
tunity not only to
J. N. HARPER show his patriot
ism, but an opportunity to acquire
wealth at the same time.
Offsetting Labor Shortage
In view of the fact that farm labor
is scarce and high, every effort should
be bent towards securing maximum
yields per acre, with fertilizer, which
is one of the best ways to conserve
man power.
Unfortunately, no industry has been
more directly affected by the war than
the fertilizer industry. The govern 1
rnent is commandeering materials im- j
portant to this industry for the pur- ,
pose of manufacturing munitions of
war and hence lias greatly reduced the
possible tonnage to be used In fer
tilizers. In other words, while the
nation Is calling for the largest pos -(
sible crop yields, there is, at the same ■
time, a great demand for gun powdei. \
Some one has aptly said, "Plants and
cannons eat the same focal.” Of course,
under present conditions, the cannons
must be fed first.
There is a considerable shortage of
fertilizer ingredients, and the prices
of these ingredients are corresponding
ly high.
Fertilizers Relatively Cheaper
In consequence of high prices of ma
terials, due to their scarcity, and be
cause of higher labor an# transporta
tion costs, fertilizers will bo higher
this spring than ever before.
While the prices of fertilizers have
advanced, fortunately for the farmer,
the prices of crops have advanced still
higher, so that fertilizers are relative
ly cheaper than before the war. A
bale of cotton with its seed will buy
more fertilizer today than ever before.
The same is true of a bushPl of corn;
a bushel of wheat; a bushel of pea
nuts; a bushel of potatoes, etc.
Why Fertilizers Are Scarce
The causes of I he shortage of fertlb
izer materials may be summarized as
follows;
Previous to the war, most of our
potash came from Germany. The pot
Ab now on the market Is produced
Aly in this country, but It Is far
of the demands. This American
made potash, however, Is just a? val
uable as the potash salts that were
formerly obtained from Germany.
Acid phosphate is scarce, due to the
fact that there is a shortage of sul
phuric acid—a necessary compound in
the manufacture of acid phosphate.
Sulphuric acid Is scarce, because py
rites. from which most of it is made,
lias been coming from Spain and ships
are not now available with which to
transport it.
The fertilizer manufacturers have
been compelled to turn to the domes
tic pyrites, and readjust their manufac
turing plants to the production of sul
phuric acid from brimstone obtained
from Louisiana and Texas. The gov
ernment is requiring of the fertilizer
manufacturers sulphuric acid in large
amounts to be used in the manufacture
of explosives.
Then, too, there is considerable dif
Acuity In obtaining supplies of rocK
phosphate, because of the transporta
tion shortage.
The supply of nitrates has also been
curtailed because large amounts of sul
phate of ammonia are being taken for
refrigeration purposes, and the manu
facture of munitions. C'otton seed
meal, a valuable source of nitrogen, is
tiding used more and more for feeding
live stock. Tankage, another splendid
source of nitrogen, is also being used
for the earn purpose; consequently cot
ton seed meal and tankage are high in
price.
Nitrate of soda is' more expensive at
the Chile mines, and shipping rates
have increased enormously, and muni
tion requirements are haavy.
The fertiliztr manufacturers find It
hard to secure bags for shipping, since
there is a tremendous shortage of bur
lap.
Thus it can he easily seen that it will
be very difficult to obtain necessary
fertilizer materials, and the farmc |
must take due notice and act accord
ingly if he would make sure of getting
his plant food.
Order At Once
The farmer must not overlook the
fact that transportation difficulties are
increasing dally. The railroads are lit
erally overwhelmed. They have, there
fore, been compelled to rule that fer
tilizers and freight in general must
move in full car load lots, which means
cars must be loaded to their maximum
capacity.
Therefore. Mr. Farmer, order your
fertilizers NOW; order PLENTY of
them; use them liberally and judicious
ly. and thus secure maximum yields of
crops, and so do your part to supply
the crying needs of the world, while
at the same time you Increase yout
| bank account.
There were 1 6.249 bales of cot
ton ginned in Union county prior
to Dec. 13, 1917, as compared
with 14.867 bales g i.ned prior to
Dec. 13, 1916, according to the
report of C. R. Duncan. Special
Agent. _
Mrs. C. T. Thompson, children
and mother, Mrs. Addie Brown,
left last Friday for their new home
at Longview, Texas. Mr. Thomp
son, who will be active vice presi
dent of the First National bank
there, left Saturday.
War Notes.
Total acceptances of recruits
for the army Dec. 13 numbered
more than 14,500 the largest
number accepted in one day in the
history of the country.
More than 50 night classes have
been established to train radio and
buzzer operators for the United
States army, with an enrollment of
about 3,000 men.
According to new regulations in
England, women's shoes must not
have uppers of leather exceeding 7
inches, nor of any other material
exceeding 8 inches in height.
Within 12 hours after receiving
news of the Halifax disaster the
woman's committee of the Council
of National Defence had equipped
a relief steamer and started it to
the scene of the disaster.
The war has Galled back into
service nearly 500 retired officers
of the navy and 138 former offic
ers who resigned to enter civil life,
including 22 rear admirals, 18
commodores and 34 captains.
Late reports on health conditions
at army camps and cantonments
show the epidemic of measitjs to be
greatly decreasing. In several
(samps where measles has exten
sively prevailed the number cf
gases af pneumonia has decreased.
Daricing :§ one form of amuse
ment being provided on a large
scale for the men of the army and
navy. It is one of the ways the
war camp community service, un
der direction of ti>a war and navy
departments, provides wholesome
pleasure for the troops.
The heaviest food contracts in
the history of the world have been
let recently to 14 of the great
packing houses of the United
States.
When men called under the se
lective service law reach the can
tonments they are given, so far as
practicable, their choice of army
service. Infantry is most often
prefered, artillery second, engi
neer divisions are third iri populari
ty, arid quartermast, vs work
fourth. Investigations so far made
by the committee on classifications
of personnel in the army, which
has the matter in charge, prove
that only 2 per cent of the men at
tempt to secure nonhazardous po
sitions.
The number of men now beirg
served by American Red Cross
canteens in France is more than
15,000 a day.
Gasoline production in the United
States has increased from 35,
000,000 to 70,000,000 barrels a
year since 1914,
Discarded civilian clothing of
National army soldiers will be
shipped to Belgium for relief cf
sufferers there.
There has been a heavy slump in
the demand for grapefruit since
powdered sugar for sweetening is
often unobtainable.
Shaving Cup Protector.
To Insure the owner of a private
shaving cup kept In a barber shop
that he is Its only user there has been
invented a paper cap to cover it which
cunnot be removed without breuklng
n seal.
