Better Farming in the South
THE FARMERS’ SkOT AT
KAISERISM IS MAXIMUM CROPS
C. A. Whittle, Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga.
Upon those whom the United States
has not called from the farm, rests
a great obligation of feeding and
clothing the liberty armies of the
world. The greater the crops the
harder the armies will be able to
strike.
What can hinder the farmer from
making maximum crops? Will it bft
a lack of market and a good price?
No, the market and price prospects
are good.
Will it be for lack of money or cred
it with which to buy tools, seeds, fer
tilizers or other necessary supplies?
No, money is plentiful und credit it
Rood.
Will it be for lack of labor? Labor
Is scarce without doubt. In fact, the
shortage of labor is practically the
only great obstacle the farmer has to
meet in producing maximum crops. If
he could have abundance of labor he
could increase the cultivated acreage
and by proper fertilization he could
bring in a very great crop. But in
view of the lack of labor what must
he do?
He can do two things to overcome
the labor shortage: First, Increase the
applications of fertilizers, which will
Increase the yield without enlarging
the cultivated acreage. Becond, use
labor saving machinery.
But overcoming the labor shortage
Is not all that is necessary to obtain
maximum crops. Here Is a schedule
of important things that must be done
by every farmer to get maximum
crops:
1. Break the land deeply turning
under all stalks, stubble and litter pos
sible.
No Time to Swap.
An Indiana man was traveling
down the Ohio on a steamer with
a mare -and two-year old colt
•when by a sudden careen of the
boat all three were tilted in the
water. The Hoosier, as he rose
puffins; and blowin • above water,
caught hold ot the tail of the colt,
not having a doubt but that the
natural instinct of the animal
would carry him safely ashore.
The old mare made for the land,
but the fright ' t colt swam lus
try \vn the current wi‘h its
owner still hauling fast. “Let go
of the colt ami hang onto the
mare!” shouted some of his
friends. “Booh!” exclaimed the
Hoosier, spouting the water from
his mouth; “it’s mighty fine telling
me to let go the colt, but to a man
who can’t swim this ain’t exactly
the time for swapping horses.”
- '■ «—■ I I
Inactive Kidneys >
Cause Disease
' I liloil not soon forget the benefit I derived
the use of Foley Kidney Pills.” —AL A.
Codfrey, Forest Grove, Oregon.
Too much work and too little work
seem to have about the same etfect
cn persons past middle age. Proper
• action of the kidneys is necessary to
rood health. They act as a nlt< •
and remove from the blood poisonous
waste matter which if permitted to
remain in the system leads to many
complications.
Many nervous, tired, run-down men
and women suffer from pains in the
back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder
weakness, sore muscles and stiff
Joints and fail to realize that, rhenma
tism, diabetes or even Bright's dis
ease may result. *
If you.have cause to believe that
your kidneys are weak, disordered or
inactive you should act immediately.
Foley Kidney Pills have been used
by young, middle aged and old with
complete satisfaction. They act quick
ly and surely and have given relief
in cases of ten years’ standing?

2. Harrow, roll and pulverize the
seed bed thoroughly before planting
3. Use only the best possible seed,
preferably pedigreed seed, from a re
sponsible plant breeder.
4. Make liberal use of fertilizers,
and use manure whenever obtainable
to supplement the fertilizers.
5. Give thorough and frequent cul
tivation to the tilled crops, preferably
shallow and frequent cultivation.
6. Harvest savingly and protect the
stored crops from pests.
While It is true that everything the
farmer has to buy is high in price, it
is also true that whatever the farmer
has to Sell is also high in price. The
fertilizer people figure out that their
products have not advanced In price
as much as the price of crops, and that
as a matter of fact, cotton, com, pea
nuts, tobacco and the like will buy
more fertilizer now than ever. Which
being true it follows that it will pay
better now to use it than formerly,
for the increase for which they are re
sponsible will be worth more.
Another thing that the farmer must
bear in mind if he would sure to
raise a bumper crop and that is, to
place his orders early for everythin!
that is to be shipped by rail. The
railroads are hard put to it and do
not afTord assurance of prompt ship
ments. Orders placed late are more
than likely to be too late to be deliv
ered in time.
Even if shipping were good, there
would be nothing gained by delay.
Prices are not likely to be lower. In
fertilizers, especially there is a scarc
ity of materials and advancing prices,
making it improbable that tfie fertiliz
er will be cheaper.
