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

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford car can well be called the “peoples car,” because there
are more than 3,000,000 of them in daily operation. 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. Ry. except Kibbee and Tarrytown—and I am suppling it with the “Old Reliable.”
