“Christians are torch hearers. They
are the light of the world. They are
not to put their light under a cover.
They are to hold forth the word of
life.’’
“Christian torch bearers may hold
forth the word of life by the testi
mony they give and by the life they
live.”
The pastor preached to a large con
gregation both last Sunday morning
and evening. He used as his morning
subject, "The beginning of the Gospel.”
He brought out the story of how Jesus
was tempted in tin l wilderness before
beginning His ministry. He used this
as an example to the present day
Christian, how they, by the power of
the Sprit, may overcome temptations.
As his evening subject he used “The
Master Miracle-” This being the in
cident of the raising of Lazarus. Both
morning and evening messages were
very inspiring.
Next Sunday he will use as his sub
jects: morning, "On the Threshold of
Lent.” Eyeing, “Real Treasures of
Home.”

MRS. J- F. DAVIS
ENTERTAINS MATRONS’ CLUB
Tiie Matrons’ club met at the home
of Mrs- J. F. Davis last Wednesday
with a splendid attendance of mem-
February 22,1929.
Dear Sir:
A few words about fertilizer. The season is rapidly approaching when you will want
to arrange for your fertilizer. We have been manufacturing fertilizer for twenty years
and from experience we have found that a fertilizer with at least half of the Nitrogen de
rived from tankage or cottonseed meal gives much better results than when denved whol
ly from Sulphate of Amonia or Nitrate of Soda. The Nitrogen from Nitrate of Soda and Sul
phate of Amonia is 100% soluble in water and as the heavy rain comes this 100% of water
soluble Nitrogen will leach out and when the plant reaches the fruiting stage if you have had
excessive rainfall the plant food has leached out and the plant has nothing to support it and
it stops fruiting and growing and the result is a very poor crop.
A fertilizer can be made much cheaper with all the Nitrogen derived from Nitrate of
Soda and Sulphate of Amonia than tankage and cottonseed meal, for instance a 12-4-4 Guano
with half the Nitrogen derived from tankage or cottonseed meal will cost $7.00 per ton
more than the same Guano with all the Nitrogen derived from Sulphate of Amonia or Ni
trate of Soda and a fertilizer with all the Nitrogen derived from Nitrate of Soda will be
come wet and gummy and a fertilizer made with all the Nitrogen derived from the Sulphate
of Amonia will cake and get hard, making it very difficult to put through your Guano d.s
tributor.
We have a full line of fertilizer manufactured with the Nitrogen derived from Sulphate
of Amonia and Tankage that has been mixed five weeks which gives it time to dry out the
moisture, which raises the plant food. This is why our fertilizer last year as shown by the
State Department of Agriculture ran from one to two dollars per ton above our guaranteed
commercial value and by this double mixed insures a uniform mixture.
We have a full stock of the various brands of fertilizer and would be very glad to sell
you when you are ready to buy.
Yours very truly,
