A THREATENED SHORTAGE
OF NITROGEN FERTILIZERS
From what a few months ago was
an outlook, for increased nitrogen
supplies and very moderate prices,
the situation has somersaulted, and
teday it looks quite possible that we
may see a nitrogen shortage before
this year’s requirements are satisfied.;
To begin with, the short cotton
crop meant a short supply of cotton
seed meal, with the highest price
ever known, a price far too high for
mea! to be used as a fertilizer. Tank
age and dried blood, both formerly
used to a considerable extent as fer
tilizers, have gone up with cottonseed
meal, and are now too high-priced
except to be used as feeds. |
Sulphate of ammonia has been the
surprise of the fertilizer trade. Dur
ing the war, it was of course almost
entirely taken for war purposes, but
with the coming of peace it was
naturally expected that there would
be a plentiful supply for American
farmers. As a matter of actual fact,
however, we have been unable to get
more than one or two quotations on
sulphate of ammonia, and this at a
price out of line with nitrate of soda.
It seems that the demand for sulphate
of ammonia for industrial uses has
been exceptionally heavy and that
large quantities have been exported,
one report being that Japan has been
a heavy importer for fertilizer pur
poses. But whatever the reasons, it
is a fact sulphate is scarce—hardly
to be had at all—and the price is
high.
Finally, the nitrate of soda situa
tion is becoming critical. In the fall,
nitrate in carlots was readily obtain
able at $55 to $6O per ton f. o. b.
cars at ports. As the season advanc
ed prices began to rise, and our lat-

est quotation is $7O at ports. But
lno nitrate, so far as we know, is be

for April and even May delivery.
It is said that a heavier demand than
anticipated and restricted shipping
have combined to bring about this
situation.

do so should purchase at once.—The

‘ Sl e e
LEARN THE VALUE
| OF THE HARROW
- An implement that more Southern
farmers need to learn the value of
is the harrow. Of harrows, there are
various types, but practically all of
them are excellent when used under
the right conditions and at the right
time.
While it is true that on the very
sandy lands in our Coastal Plain ter
ritory the harrow may not be urgent
ly needed, in all the great middle and
upper Cotton Belt probably no one
implement will pay better dividends
on the investment. Thousands—
probably millions—of acres every
year are planted with the soil insuf
ficiently prepared. Seed, however
good they may be, put down in a
mass of clods can never properly
germinate, and poor stands are an
almost certain result. This cloddy
land may remain with us for weeks
at the very season we should have
a fine, mellow seed bed, preventing
seed germipation, hindering cultiva
tion, and locking up plant food and
keeping the young plants from get
ting it.
If you are farming any but very
sandy land, you cannot afford not to
own both disk and drag harrows.
Then use them both to make a really
first class seed bed before planting,
and you will have taken a long step
toward a good crop.—The Progres
sive Farmer.
CONFIDENCE IN THE MAN
All through this section, towns and
cities are uneasy about their census
returns. Rallies and public meetings
are being held and strenous efforts
made to check over the population
and see that every individual is
counted.,
Tifton has been spared all this.
The enumeration here was fortunate
ly placed in the hands of a man who
is thoroughly acquainted with the
town 'and its people; who had twice
taken the school census, who is per
severing and conscientious and gives
careful attention to detail. The peo
ple here have confidence in the man,
and while we fear the total of the
city’s population will be disappoint
ing to the more optimistic, they will
feel assured that the enumeration
was correct.—Tifton Gazette.
THREE COMMON MISTAKES
First we permitted a slick-tongued
agent to sell us a stove for just twice
what it was really worth, when we
could have bought a satisfactory
cooking stove through a local mer
chant or direct from the hardware
dealer.
Then we neglected to plant bur
clover, which does well in our sec
tion, and not only furnishes winter
grazing for stock, but puts new life
into land that has been depleted by
years of growing row crops.
~ Again, we failed to make a place
suitable for growing trees, as the
old orchard is fast dying out. A
farm that does not grow everything
that it is capable of growing for the
pleasure and comfort of the family
is net worthy of the name of home.

KEEP CORN OFF POOR LAND
The poorest cultivated land on the
farm should be thoroughly prepared,
liberally fertilized and planted in le
guminous crops, such as cowpeas,
peanuts, velvet beans and soy beans.
A: a rule, profitable crops will be
grown and the land will always in
crease in fertility.
[ Millions of acres of poor land are
planted in corn every year. Very
little feed is grown, a big loss is sus
tained and the land becomes poorer.
No man can afford to plant land in
corn that yields less than twenty
bushels per acre in normal seasons,
unless veivet beans are planted in the
corn,
Let us make arrangements right
‘away for the necessary cowpea, pea
irmt, velvet bean, soy bean, lespedeza
and other legume seed to plant on
;food, feed and fertile soil will re
the poor land next year, and forage,
turn a good profit. Do not waste
}money trying to grow corn on poor
land.—The Progressive Farmer.
}SIMPLE CONTRIVANCE TO
LOCATE AUTO TROUBLE
Various automobile-motor troubles
can be located with a new testing de
vice, described with illustration in the
March Popular Mechanics Magazine.
It consists of a hand-operated air
pump, provided with an outlet pipe
that can be screwed into a spark-plug
hole, and equipped with a dial pres
sure gauge. Loose pistons and leaky
intake or exhaust vales can be de
tected by adjusting the engine to dif
ferent positions, and forcing air into
the cylinders with the device. Com
pression can 'be investigated by
cranking the motor and observing the
gauge, which indicates the pressure
in the cylinder.
