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?

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. Our JITNEY OFFER-This and 5c DON’T MISS THIS.
