rhore so now than in the past,
We have heard so much about
the world shortage of food that
some of us have come to'the con
clusion that it is all a myth, but
this is a mistake. There really
,md truly is a world shortage of
food supplies. With 50,000,030
men of the world withdrawn
from productive work it is noth
ing but natural that there should
be a shortage of supply.
Here in America we will, in all
probability, produce far more
food this year than we have pro
duced in any other one year, but
we must, not lose sight of the
fact that we have got to partially
f jed at hast a large part of the
world outside of America. There
fore, it is of the utmost impor
tance that everyone lay up-for
home use or for market every
possible kind of food product.
Don’t let any of the fruit go to
waste. If the cans or jars can’t
be had at ar reasonable price dry
the products,. Beans, okra,
fruits, etc, can be so dried as to
produce very palatable foods for
winter. Don’t overlook it, be
cause there will' be a most ex
cellent demand this winter for
every conceivable kind of food
product. Don’t let a single bit
of it go to waste.—Southern

Pushing Crops Up To Maximum Yields
Best Way'to Increase Food Crops of the 8outh Now Is to Cultivate Thor
oughly and Make Qlde Applications of Fertilizers.
By J. N. Harper, Olrector Farm
Not a day pass
es that the farmer
Is not reminded of
the vital necessi
ty of producing
more food crops,
and he is urged to
•put forth his best
effort in doing his
“bit,’’ but the
question* is —
"How?’'
It is now too
late to increase
Service Bureau, Atlanta, Georgia.
the acreage devoted to food crops, as
practically all of the laud has been
planted, hut large yields can be ob
tained just the same, provided good
cultivation is given and fertilizers are
liberally applied as side applications.
Potatoes have advanced 260 per
cent, coi-n 100 per cent, hay 33 per
>-» wju jlm'j veui, u ivy do ym
cent, beef and pork 100 per cent,
whereas* the coat of fertilizer has ad
vanced only 26 per cent.
The wheat crop this year is short,
and it haa been estimated that 300,-
000,000 bushels of the 1917 wheat crop
has been bought by European coun
tries for future delivery. Unless the
corn crop of the South is a “bumper,”
bread will be a luxury instead of the
staff of Ufe.
The farmer is being advised on ev
ery, hand to increase production, but
he is limited in his credit and he finds
it hard to obtain sufficient labor. The
best way to increase the production
of corn and other food crops, as well
as cotton, is to cultivate thoroughly
and often and make side applications
of fertilizers. If the farmer hasn't the
money to hire labor, under present con
ditions, it will pay him to borrow
money on his crop to pay sufficient
labor to cultivate and fertilize his
crops adequately. After each rain a
dust mulch should be made with the
cultivator. We need not expect a
bountiful harvest unless the soil mois
ture is conserved. As a general rule,
the amount of corn produced is in di
rect proportion to the amount of wa
ter conserved in the soil by thorough
cultivation.
Hon. J. A. Wade, Commissioner of
Agriculture of Alabama, in a circular
letter Issued to the farmers makes
this statement,—“It is evident that the
acreage planted to corn in the State
of Alabama has been increased 40 to 50
per cent and the farmers are to be
congratulated for taking such a wise
step. A large yield of corn is greatly
needed antf is probably the most profit
able crop that can be grown under the
present food and. feed emergency. A, .
great part of the increased acreage i»
poor upland which will make a prof
itable yield only by the use of com-
merciakfertilizer. It has always paid;
me to apply 200 or 300 pounds of fer
tilizer around thj corn the second- or
third plowing, or when the corn was
between one and three feet high.”
The corn crop is the bread of the’
Southland its yield should be increas
ed to the limit. This fall and next
winter the southern people should eat
more corn bread and less wheat
bread.
Our farmers must not fail, to pro
duce all the hay possible, and it will
pay to fertilize a patch of sorghum
and peas with a'fertilizer containing
from 10 to J2 per cent phosphoric acid
and 1% to 2 per cent nitrogen.
Cotton is not -generally recognized^ a
as a food crop, but the country muBt
not overlook the fact that an acre of
cotton that will produce a bale will
yield almost as great a food and feed "
value in the seed as the same land
planted J.6 corn. Therefore, an in
creased yield in that crop means in
creased food and feed products.
Fertilizers are used for the plant
food they contain, and it will be Im
possible to produce profitable yields
without ample plant food. Just what
fertilizer to apply and how much to
use as inside application will depend
on the soil type, the crop planted; and
the kind and amount of fertilizer used
at the time the land was prepared.
On Piedmont soilB and clay soils we
would recommend from 200 to 300 .
pounds of fertilizer for cotton and.
com ,analyzing 6 to 8 per cent phos
phoric acid and 2 to 4 per cent nitro- 1
gen. For field crops in the coastal ■
plain, we would-recommend from 300
to 400 pounds of a fertilizer analyzing I
from 4 to 7 per cent phosphoric acid I
and from 4 to 6 per cent nitrogen.
This fertilizer should he applied to
com when it Is from knee to waist
high and to cotton at the time the ]
first squares are forming.
For the silt loams in Alabama, Lou- /,
isiana and Mississippi, we would rec- li
ommend for cotton or corn 100 to 200
pounds of a fertilizer analyzing 12 per .
cent available phosphoric acid and
per cent nitrogen. This is to be ap
plied to the corn when about'knee high
and to the cotton when squares begin
forming. Under most favorable con
ditions a pound of fertilizer means
three pounds of seed cotton. From
this we can see that $1.00 invested
in fertilizer at this time means fronr
$6 to $8 next fall, and a badly needed
commodity is brought into existence.
