BIG DEMAND FOBf
COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER
Atlanta, March, 27., (Special) —
Reports from the various fertilizer

ment Is Increasing dally and it Is
with difficulty sufficient labor la be
ing secured to keep pace with the
orders received dally.
Georgia, which has been second
only to South Carolina In the
amount of commercial fertilizer us
ed per acre, bids fair to break all
records In the amount of commer
cial fertilizer used during 1913.
The planters, who have long
been delayed with their plowing,
appreciate the fact that they must
depend largely upon a generous use
of commercial fertilizer, In order to
prevent their crops from being late.
