PLANT NOW AND FERTILIZE LATER All Shipments Commercial Fertilizers Have Been Delayed. All fertilizer manufacturers and dealers report that the movement of fertilizers and fertilizer ma terials is several weeks behindj the usual schedule. Not only have strikes and other causes de layed the getting of raw materials by manufacturers and mixers, but the railroads have not moved shipments with the necessary promptness and rapidity. The factories are three to five weeks behind with their orders, due to car shortage. Moreover, there are strong in dications that there is a greater desire on the part of farmers to use fertilizers this year than ever before. In fact, it is estimated that some of the Southeastern states that have used large quan tities of fertilizers in the past, will use 20 or 25 per cent more this year than usual if they can get them. The supplies of materials carry ing all the plant foods, nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, are more or less short of the demand. Nitrogen supplies are short and high-priced. Cottonseed meal, tankage and like materials which have in the past been largely used i to supply nitrogen are such valu able feeding stuffs that their prices have become almost pro hibitive of their use as fertilizers. Sulphate of ammonia, a by-prod uct of coke ovens, is less abun dant because of coal strikes and lack of transportation. Nitrate of soda has not been brought from South America in sufficient quantities because of a lack of shipping facilities. The supplies of acid phosphate have been lessened also by strikes, lack of transportation and inability to procure other necessary materials for its manufacture. And potash has neither been produced in this country nor brought from France and Germany in sufficient quantities to meet demands. In short, the demand is greater than usual, the supplies available being less than the demands and the railroads have not been able to move the products rapidly enough to meet the requirements of the trade. The results are that manv be lieve that it will not be possible for the farmers of the South to obtain their fertilizers in time to put out the full amounts which they want to use at the time of or before planting the crops. As evidence accumulates, it tends to show that the best time to apply fertilizers is at the time of or before planting the crops. That is, when all things are con sidered it is doubtful if a given amount of fertilizer applied to a crop should be divided into two or more applications. But it is also pretty well established or generally believed that, say, 500 pounds of a given fertilizer per acre will give a little larger yield if two applications are made than if it is all put out at one time. But if there is an increase in the yield from two applications this increase is probably not generally large enough to pay for making two applications or to pay for the expense of making the extra ap plication. But if the farmer finds it im possible to get all the fertilizers he thinks he ought to use, in time to put it all out at planting time, he should not fail to put out the balance as a second ap plication. If he is right in be lieving, for instance, that he should apply 500 pounds of a cer tain grade of fertilizer per acre and can only get enough by plant ing time to make an application of 300 pounds per acre, there is no good reason why he should not make a second application of 200 pounds during the early part of the growing season or during May and June. In fact, unless! he is mistaken in his belief that it will pay him to use 500 pounds of fertilizer per acre, there is every reason why he should make, a second application, in case he cannot get sufficient fertilizer to make the full application intend ed at planting time. —Progressive Farmer.

That is about four to one to the nearest follower in the motor car industry. This would not be so if the Ford car had not for sixteen years proven its j superiority in service, in durability, and in the low cost for operation and maintenance; this would not be so if the Ford car was not so easy to understand, so simple in construction that anybody and every body can safely drive it. It is everybody’s necessity because it doubles the value of time, and is the quick, convenient, comfortable, and economical method of transportation. We solicit your order. We have the full line, Touring Car, Runabout, Coupe, Sedan,Truck. We assure you the best possible in repair work with the genuine Ford Parts. Fords are plentiful, and easy to get —if your order is placed with me at once. No guaran tee on the future. My exclusive territory embraces all of Montgomery south of M. D. 6 S.
