V ,«t \ *Y’ i Upon you in feisT” ]&•-' I placed the grave -- , ’ - ... responsibility of producing abund- D. B. OSBORNE ant crops with which to feed and clothe our army and navy; the armies and navies of our Allies—our own people at home and the peoples of our Allies in Eu rope. Failure would bring disaster to our army and an untimely and unneces sary death to many of our boys who have gone forth to battle in defense of our liberty. But, Mr. Farmer, we know that un der the great responsibility placed on you by our Government, that there is no such word as "fail” In your vo cabulary and that nothing short of in surmountable providential causes could prevent your answering fully to this responsibility. However, maximum crops can only be had by the judicious and intensive use of fertilizers, good seed, thorough cultivation, and labor-saving machin ery. When you want good auto ser vice call on me. 1 have good cars and will appreciate your patron age. T. G. Hamilton. tf. If you want a good throe ar five horse farm with excellent cattle range at a bargain, see Dowling & McXab. One of your most pressing prob lems and one to be acted upon without delay, is the matter of obtaining your fertilizer. In spite of the best efforts of the manufacturers and the Government, materials for making fertilizers are scarce and high In price. Therefore, it is all the more necessary that what fertilizers are to be distributed, should be used upon soil that has received the very best preparations the fanner is capable of giving. The mobilization of our army, re quiring a maximum movement of troop trains and supply trains, has ov er-taxed the capacity of our railroads as never before, and In order for fer tilizers to be distributed this season, the movement must of necessity, be gin early and the unloading of cars at destination be done with utmost despatch. Every car must be loaded to capacity. Today fertilizers are cheaper than farm crops or farm labor. A bale of i cotton, a bushel of corn, oats or wheat, will buy more pounds of fertil izers now than ever before, hence to assure the performance of a patriotic duty, with great profit to yourself, or | der your fertilizers promptly so that j you may be sure to get them. And j when you get them, use them with 1 the greatest degree of intelligence. Satisfactory results are bound to foF i low —both to you and to the Govera | ment.

Dolton seed at $85.00 per ton. j Peanuts at $125.00 per ton. Corn at $c..00 bushel. Live hogs at 18c per pound. Syrup at SI.OO per gallon. Why not buy a small farm in South Georgia and work it your self. One crop at half the prices for the above products, will pay for it. Spend the winter clearing a few acres. One man can clear one acre a day, average new cut over land along the A., B. & A. Railway. South Georgia lands are cheap. Now is the time to buy.

The hog that takes two or three months to get on full feed never brings you a profit. When you are ready to put your shoats on feed, begin with the 15. A. Thomas' Hog Medicine. Use regularly and watch your shoats round out into fat hogs in nine months —liogs going well over 200 pounds and as high as 240 pounds Figure the average feeding and you will see why the 15. A. Thomas, medicine is a good investment. Try feeding out your hogs on this plan and if you are not more than pleased, we will refund the cost of the medicine. Sold by the Pear son Hardware Store.
