DOUGLAS POST OFFICE RE
CEIVES LARGER DEPOSITS
Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accented at the post office.
This is made possible by an impor
tant amendment to the Postal Savings
Act just approved by President Wil
son. A postal savings depositor may
now have an account amounting to
SI,OOO upon which interest will be
paid. Formerly SSOO was the maxi
mum amount he could have to his
credit. This enlargement of postal
savings facilities will be very gratify

have already reached the old SSOO

other feature of the amendment that
will avoid further embarrassment to
the public and to postal officials is the
doing away with the limit on the a
mount that could be accepted from a

law only SIOO could be deposited in a

olishes this restriction. While the

Acceptable Formulas For 1916
By Dr. A. M. Soule.
What will constitute an acceptable fertilizer formula for the present year?
is a question being asked by thousands of farmers. Of course, every one
realizes that abnormal conditions prevail in the fertilizer industry, and this
being the case, it is first necessary to consider what can be secured, and
then proceed to compound and use these materials in a manner which is
lively to prove the most beneficial to the crops ordinarily grown. In this
connection it is certain that while prices may be higher than in previous
years, there are very considerable quantities of cotton seed meal and acid
phosphate available. No potash can be had. Crushed lime rock may be
secured in large quantities, but its use should be primarily restricted to
liberal applications made to the land preferably before the planting of le
guminous crops. Floats are also oft the market, but according to tests we
have made up to the present time, and in view of the small amount of or
ganic matter in Georgia soils, it does not appear that this material can be
depended on as a satisfactory source of available phosphoric acid the present
season. Nitrate of soda is scarce and high-priced. Sulphate of ammonia is
limited in supply and also high in price. Blood and bone and fish scrap will
probably be available in normal amounts.
The Most Acceptable Carrier.
It appears from a hasty review of the list that acid phosphate is likely to
prove the most acceptable carrier of phosphoric acid available to the farmer,
and that he must decide on what he will use to supply nitrogen to combine
with acid phosphate in the hope of securing the best fertilizer available for
use under existing conditions. Naturally, if he has exchanged his seed for
meal or if he still has seed to sell, he will desire to use cotton seed meal,
and, of course, a combination of 1000 pounds of standard meal and 1000
pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate will give him a very good formula,
containing 266.8 pounds of available plant food per ton. T his is about the
only combination he can hope to make which will supply his soil with any
potash. This formula will run 9.2 per cent of phosphoric acid, 3.09 per
cent of nitrogen and about 1 per cent of potash. A formula of this character
is well supplied with nitrogen for most farm crops and contains a very good
amount of phosphoric acid, and of course, the potash is a distinct advantage
for use particularly under truck crops or on sandy lands.
600 Pounds of Cotton Seed Meal.
It is not necessary that this exact combination be used, however, as the
amount of meal may be reduced to 60(1 pounds and the acid phosphate left
at 1000 pounds. If 400 pounds of fish scrap be added to this mixture, a
formula containing a little better than 3 per cent of nitrogen and 10 per cent
of phosphoric acid will have been obtained, though the potash will have
been somewhat reduced. Along the coast such a formula might prove quite
desirable; in other sections, tankage might be used in the place of fish
scrap. By this arrangement the nitrogen could be maintained on a three
per cent basis and the phosphoric acid raised to 11 per cent. In these
calculations it is considered that the fish scrap contains 8 per cent of nitro
gen and 8 per cent of phosphoric acid, and the tankage 8 per cent of
nitrogen and 11 per rent of phosphoric acid. As materials of is character
vary considerably in composition these facts must be kept in mind in making
calculations as to the amount of available plant food a given formula may
contain. • ,
If one were desirous of securing a formula running very high in nitrogen
derived from different sources, then 1000 pounds of acid phosphate with n
pounds of cotton seed meal, 200 pounds of dried blood and 200 pounds of
nitrate of soda might be used. In case it is desirable to use * U 'P.
ammonia, the same amount of cotton seed meal could be used with .<
pounds of the sulphate, and the acid phosphate increased to 1200 pounds
Farmers who are operating on a soil which is in fairly good condition and
do not think it necessary to use formulas carrying over 2 -j> P er , ren ,'
nitrogen, but a fairly good per cent of phosphoric acid, may find it ad'an ag
ous to mix 800 pounds of cotton seed meal with 1200 pounds of a, ict ph .
phate. By this arrangement they will secure a formula containing 'ittua.
2.5 per cent of available nitrogen, 9.6 per cent of available phosphoric acid
and .8 per cent of potash.
Potash In Cotton Seed Meal.
In addition to using the largest ration of cotton seed meal possible as a
source of potash in a mixed fertilizer to Increase the potash supply, about an
the farmer can do would be to save and return to the soil in the form of
compost as much roughage in the form of straw-, yard manure and litter as
possible. If this is in a well-rotted condition so much the better, as utider
these circumstances, the plant food it contains will -become more Quickly
available and the material can also be incorporated with the soil to
advantage. Of course, wherever wood Is burned the farmer should save the
ashes as these contain some potash and help to increase the supply of this
now very scarce, and yet often desirable element, particularly for truck crops
and for use on sandy soils. Where wood ashes are available, however, they
should not be mixed with fertilizer under any circumstances but snould be
applied separately. They could be scattered in the row with the compost
and mixed with Ihe subsoil and then a light furrow of earth should be turned
in and the seed bed for corn made thereon, one of the fertilizer formulas
suggested above being drilled in at the time the corn is planted. The cotton
should, of course, be planted on a bed.
The above mentioned formulas can be used in varying amount*, according
to the soil type with which the farmer Is working. Three hundred pounds
Is probably a minimum amount to apply where the land has been handled
with any degree of skill and success. In many instances, five hundred
pounds can be applied to advantage. All of the material may be put under
the drill row or part used as a side application, somewhat depending on
whether all the nitrogen is derived from organic source*- or partly from car
rier:, containing this element in a quickly available form.
MRS. LAVERY THOUGHT
HER TIME HAD COME
NASHVILLE WOMAN TELLS OF
A REMARKABLE RECOVERY
WHEN THEY SAID SHE WOULD
DIE.
.“When I lay flat on my back with
nervous prostration, the doctor toll'd
my neighbors that he could do noth
ing more for me, and that I would
die,” said Mrs. Sarah Lavery, of 103
Ohio street, Nashville. “For days I
was unconscious, but was determined
to live. I held on with all the power
I could summon.
“When I got over the worst of this
I found myself a confirmed invalid.
My stomach was simply torn to pieces,
and was so unstrung I wanted to burst
out crying if anybody as much as
crooked their finger at me. I have
been in a bad fix this way for a long
my upetaoin cmfwyp xzfiflffffi ffiffflfi
time. I would have severe pains up
on eating the least little thing, and
then would have fearful sick head
aches and dizzy spells. My kidneys
seemed to be affected, and I began to
have rheumatism of the very worst
kind. My joints would swell up, and
my hands would all puff. On damp
days I could hardly stand the pain.
Besides, I couldn’t sleep, and had no
appetite. I fell away until it scared
me to weigh. Nothing helped me. I
had to quit knitting because my hands
were so weak and swollen. I feared
I didn’t have long for this world.
“I began taking Tanlac, and, sir, I
wouldn’t take $lO a bottle for the
good it is doing me. I began to im
prove from the very start. I can eat
anything without the least discom
fort, my rheumatism is disappearing,
and my nerves are as quiet as a lamb.
I do my knitting and am in a good
humor all the time. I feel as well as
I did years, ago, and I expect to live
to a good old age. I wish every poor
woman could know about Tanlac.”
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Doug
