An 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 depositor monthly. Under the old law only SIOO could be deposited in a calendar month. The amendment ab olishes this restriction. While the Postal Savings System has already proved a signal success as is hown by the fact that more than hrlf-a-million depositors have over eight million dol lars standing to their credit, still it has fallen short of meeung the full demands of the public because of the restrictions which have now been elim inated.

Box 457. 5-13-4 t 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 las by the Union Pharmacy; in Willa cooehee by Quillian’s Pharmacy; in Nicholls by the Johnson Pharmacy; in Pearson by Drs. Joe and C. W. Cor bett; and in Broxton by J. H. Rod denberry; in McDonald, Lochridge & Lawton. Douglas—Twenty Years Ago As Gathered From Old Enterprise File of 1896. “Cols. G. J. Holton and E. P.
