Railroad Service is a Serious Problem—Fertilizer Dealers Will
Be Required to Accumulate Orders So That Full Carloads
Only Shall Be Shipped—Railway Authority Say
Fertilizers Can Be Handled in Half Nmrtber of
Cars Ordinarily Used — A War Measure.
Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga.
C. A. Whittle.
:.i
The world is hungry. To get more
food is an alarming problem.
How can the farms produce more
food when labor is so scarce?
How can more acres be planted to
food crops or how can more work be
given the acres usually planted with
out more labor?
Increase of labor Is hardly to be
expected, but there is one important
means of help which the- Southern
fame* has been utilizing in the
past and that is Fertilizer. But this
too is beset with difficulties.
Fertilizer can increase production
without increasing labor except at
harvest time. The warring nations
appreciate this fact, and are giving
all the encouragement they can to the
use of fertilizers.
The railroads can’t do the busi
ness expected of them unless every
freight car is loaded to full ca
pacity. To load them to full capacity
the fertilizer dealer must have enough
orders in .to make up a full car load
before he can reasonably,hope to jget
a shipment. The earlier the carload
orders are placed the better chance,
of course, criL getting a shipment. Be
cause of .the shortage of equipment,
the railroads should have as much
time as possible to plan for moving the
fertilizer. Early orders will give them
a knowledge of the number of cars
that will be needed.
Government Authorities Backing It
The National Council of Defense has
sent out a bulletin on this very subject,
urging farmers to order their fall fer
tilizers early so full carload shipments
might be made and the largest amount
of human food produced.
The United States Department of
Agriculture through the States Re
lations Service and Bureau of Soils;
and agricultural colleges and coun
ty agents, are advising the Bame.
The railroads are very urgent about
the matter. The fertilizer manufac
turers are offering to help the dealers
and farmers as much as possible to
overcome the transportation difficul
ties.
Half Cars Can Be Saved
Railway authorities have statistics
to show that half of the cars ordinari
ly used for hauling fertilizers could
do the business, if only they are load
ed to their maximum capacity.
Where a full car load can not be
made up for one destination, then it
is to be filled with orders for neigh
boring stations along a railroad.
More Wheat and Oats From the South
Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga.
The South will be expected to take
care of its share of wheat and oat
production. Discouragement from, the
winter kill of the last season and la
bor conditions make the task of keep
ing up production no small one, but
the country needs more of these crops
if It is to take care of its allies. The
prices which they are bringing, of
course, do not discourage production.
Even if the acreage cannot be in
creased the prices which' the small
grains are bringing justify the very
best seed bed prepai-ation and the
maximum use of fertilizer.
Growing cereals, of course, do not
require as much labor as growing corn
and cotton, it is true, but corn and

cotton will take their turn in every
well planned farm.
The scant oat crop should be hus
banded for seed this year. No oats
are as good for planting in the South
as those grown in the South, especially
if they are grown in the region where
they are to be planted. The same is
true of wheat unless in a given sec
tion the best variety for that section
has not yet been used.
Good seed should be ordered early.
Unless fertilizers are ordered early,
so that dealers can ship only in full
carload lots it is (Juite probable that
farmers will be disappointed when
seeding time comes. The railroads
will probably have more than they can
do even with full carlo'ad shipments.
It is a national necessity to see that
no freight car space is wasted.

Is your barn a

HEN you store a ton of old style cottonseed hulls
you give space to almost 500 pounds of lint and
all the extra bulk that the lint causes.
When you store a ton of

LINTLESS
you give space to 2000 pounds of real roughage,, free
from lint, compact, concentrated, solid.
Buckeye Hulls save half your storage space or enable
you to carry twice as much roughage.
Other Advantages

to the ton—-not 1500. No trash or dust.
Priced much lcs3 per ton. Sacked—easy to handle.
Every pound goes farther. v Mix well with other forage.
Mr, John Wicker, Forest, Miss., says:
that his first experience in feeding Buckeye Hulls was
unsatisfactory as he fed them improperly. He now
soaks the hulls over night, then feeds them and has
very satisfactory results. Mr. Wicker states that these
hulls are more economical than the .old style hulls and
thinks that they go almost twice as far as the old style
hulls at a considerably less cost to begin with.
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
Book of Mixed Feeds Free
Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the
South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat
tening, for work. Describes Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for
using them properly. Send for your copy to the nearest mill.
