Stopped Most Terrible Suf
fering by Getting Her Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegeta

Denison, Texas. — “After my little
girl was bom two years ago I began suf
fering with female
trouble and could
hardly do my work.
I was very nervous
but jUBt kept drag
ging on until last
summer when I got
where I could not do
my work. I would
have a chill every
day and hot flasheB
and dizzy spells and
my head would al
most burst. I got where I was almost
a walking skeleton and life was a burden
to me until one day my husband’B step
sister told my husband if he did not do
something for me I would not last long
and told him to get your medicine. So he
got Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound for me, and after taking the ilrBt
three doses I began to improve. I con
tinued its use, and I have never had any
female trouble since. I feel that I owe
my life to you and your remedies. They
did for me what doctors could not do
and I will always praise it wherever I
go.”—Mrs. G. 0. Lowery, 419 W.Mon

If you are suffering from any form of
female ills, get a bottle of Lydia E.

Relative Efficiency
Of Nitrogen Carriers
By Dr. A. M. Soule.
Which form of nitrogen is best? This is a pertinent question at the present
time, and thousands of farmers are Interested in the answer, for war condi
tions have upset prices and curtailed the normal supply of not only potash,
but carriers of nitrogeri as well. Among the materials which the southern
farmer must depend upon for his commercial supply of nitrogen are nitrate
of soda, sulphate of ammonia, cotton seed meal, blood, tankage, fish scrap
and calcium cyanamid, Of course, yard manures and compost are valuable
as carriers of nitrogen, and the farmer is supposed to use all of these materials
possible, but if he does the Very best he can In thlB direction, he will prob
ably not be able to supply his soil with all the nitrogen needed by the
average farm crop, and it is quite likely that he will find it to his advantage
to buy some nitrogen, and, in that event, the question is which form to buy
and what he may expect as the result of using any particular form.
Which Form Is Better.
There is an Idea prevalent In some quarters that certain forms of nitrogen
become very quickly available, so much so In fact that they exert their pri
mary effect In a very short time, and crops suffer from a lack of this
element towards the end of the growing season. Some believe that inorganic
forms of nitrogen are the best, and others that the organic form Bhould be
given preference. As a matter of fact, all forms of nitrogen have merit, and
should be considered on this baslB. In purchasing attention should be given
to that source which will supply the available plant food needed In the
cheapest form and In a manner best likely to serve the needs of a growing
crop. Where quick stimulation is an essential matter as with truck crops,
nitrate of soda will he found Invaluable. Sulphate of ammonia can also
often be used with profit. When it becomes necessary to incorporate nitro
gen with the soil, some of these materials can be applied to advantage, hut
as a, rule organic nitrogen will be found more satisfactory because it be
comes more slowly available, and is, therefore, not likely to be lost from the
soil through leaching or excessive fermentation before the plant Is in posi
tion to assimilate and utilize the nitrates which have been elaborated.
Organic nitrogens are also more likely to exert what Is termed a lasting
effect in the soil and to be better for long season crops on that account
than for truck crops, though to exclude their use from truck orops would
be extremely foolish, just as much as to hold that quickly available forms
of nitrogen, like nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia, should never be
used under field cropB.
Cotton Seed Meal Or Blood And Tankage.
The claims made, for instance, that organic forms of nitrogen, such as
cotton seed meal, will become more quickly exhausted in the soil than blood
and tankage Is also not well founded; at least it seems correct and proper
to make such a statement from the observations and deductions which have
been made in our demonstration field where all the principal carriers of nitro
gen have been tested side by side for some years past to determine the
residual influence they exerted on wheat when associated with uniform
rations of acid phosphate and muriate of potash. In these tests cotton seed
meal made a better record than any other single nitrogen carrier used,
calcium cyanamid and nitrate of soda standing second and third respectively.
Farmers need not hesitate, therefore, to use cotton seed meal as the basis
on which to build up the nitrogen content of their fertilizers, for these tests
show that it exerted as important an influence on the crop during the grow
ing season as any other fertilizer used and its lasting effect was better sus
tained than that of any other nitrogen carrier used in the experiments in
question.
Under normal conditions, even for truck crops, a combination of some
organic nitrogen: such as cotton seed meal with nitrate of soda or sulphate
of ammonia can be used to good advantage. It is probably true that a
good part of the nitrate of soda Bhould be reserved and applied as a top
dressing, the organic nitrogen being mixed with the soil at the time the
crop is planted. Certainly, cotton seed meal if combined with nitrate of
spda or sulphate of ammonia as a top dressing, will he found valuable for
truck crops. On field crops where there is a longer season of growth, the
value of cotton seed meal has already been demonstrated.
Easy To Use Both Forms.
Those, of course, who hold the Idea that they would like to use more than
one form of nitrogen can gratify their wish by using some blood tankage
or fish scrap along with the cotton seed meal. Questions of thlB character,
however, should be determined largely by the relative ease with which the
various materials can be obtained and the cost of the same. While the use
of cotton seed meal as a fertilizer rather than a foodstuff Is to be deplored,
still it constitutes one of the most important and desirable carriers of nitro
gen available to the farmers of the South at fairly reasonable prices under
existing conditions. Therefore, It should be given very careful considera
tion, because, after all, it is a by-product of the farm, and combines well
with Buch materials aB are available to provide the most satisfactory rations
which the farmer can hope to use in 1916 in the absence of potash salts.
Uses and Abuses of Fertilizers
By Prof. R. J. H. De Loach, Director of Georgia Experiment Station.
1. THE USE OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS—HISTORY.
The First of a Series of Six Articles.
We would not be disposed to try to give a complete history of the use of
commercial fertilizers, but only to show how this great industry began and
grew in the Southern United States. Generally speaking, the farmers of this
generation inherited the habit of applying fertilizers to soils, but have not
been taught the underlying principles of the Industry.
The use of some kind of manures on soils with crops for the purpose of In
creasing the yields goeB back'to ancient times. We know that many ancient
people applied animal manures to their soils for this purpose. The Chinese,
centuries ago, applied manures of various kinds to their soils and gardens and
with phenomenal results. In Von Tshudi’s Travels in Peru we find that as
early as the middle of the last century notes were being taken on the actual
value of Guano by the Peruvians.
Bousingault speaks of seeing fields in Peru on which wheat grew every
year for two centuries, and the yield still high and the growers prosperous.
The practice of using mineral fertilizers was introduced direct from Pe
ru to the United States in the year 1846, and was based on such reports
as we find above. It had already been used in England before it found its
way into the United States, but Peru seems to be the country in which the
application of minerals to soils as plant food originated. We do not
know this is true, hut all evidence points to this. It is of greater interest
to us therefore that we know about the customs in Peru,
The First Use of Peruvian Guano.
The first man in the Southern States to use this Peruvian guano was David
DickBon, of Sparta, Ga., who saw an advertisement of It in the old Ameri
can Farmer published in Baltimore. The South has perhaps never had a
more successful farmer than David Dixon, who made many millions of
dollars farming, and who was a pioneer In many other lines as well as In
the use of mineral fertilizers. In the year 1846, the year after it was intro
duced into the United States, he bought three sacks and used it, and on find
ing that it paid him, bought It in increasing quantities till the year 1866
and 1866, when he “went into It fully.” As is suggested above thlB is no
doubt the first instance of the use of a concentrated mineral fertilizer on
cotton in the United States.
The universal success with which Mr. Dickson met in the use of this Pe
ruvian guano led many other prominent farmers to follow his example,
and in every reported case, success followed its use. We are constrained
to believe that the application of this mineral fertilizer to the
cotton and other crops in the South could not possibly have been an acci
dent. Its success was unquestionably based on the actual needs of the soil.
A quickly available manure was what the crop needed, and when this wan
once applied results were evident,
After a time it was found that the Peruvian guano, which contained prin
cipally nitrogen, produced too much stalk and not much increase in the
yield of fruit, and hence its use was somewhat discouraged for a season.
The First Use of German Potash.
About this time the war between the States began, and at the name
time the discovery of the potash beds of Germany, also, the offering on the
market of various kinds of mineral fertilizers resulting from the teach
ings of Von Liebig of Germany, who was at that time the greatest cham
pion in the world of agriculture and its possibilities. Ab a result the pop
ularity of Peruvian guano subsided and more study was given to the gen
eral question of the use ol mineral manures, both by farmers themselves
and the students of agriculture.
Two great contributing factors to the rise of the fertilizer trade in the
South are first the abolition of slavery, and second, the rise of agricul
tural education. Before the war the question of land was secondary. If
growing farm crops In the South “wore the land out," there were plenty of
slaves to “take in more land ” It was cheaper to take in land than to pay
for any artificial manure. In 1862, the Morrill Bill passed Congress,
creating agricultural colleges in the various states, after which there be
gan a campaign for improving methods in agriculture. Experiments at
public expense were begun on a small scale, and the public was induced to
make greater use of plant foods of all kinds, as well as to improve methods
of tillage. This, of course, caused an immediate increase in the use of min
eral plant foods, and out of which grew demands for great quantities of
fertilizers. From this great demand there sprang up fertilizer factories in
ail parts of the country. All kinds of materials were tried' out, Borne was
good, and some was not, but much of both kinds used. The factories had
no restrictions and many of them palmed off on the farmers anything that
would smell .strong and that could be put in sacks. This condition on ac
count of state laws did not last long. We begin the next article by giving a
resume of the part taken in the rise of the trade by the states themselves.

1915 provided.
And Color alone,—Black, White, Red, or Gray—can do
little for the Consumer who buys a "Me-too” Black-Tread

Tread Tires are likely to be made of same materials.
