Better Farming in the South SOUTHERN FARMER'S FERTILIZER ADVANTAGE South's Deposits of Phosphatic Materials an Aid in Boll Weevil Fight. C. A. WHITTLE. Recently a Southern fertilizer con cern obtained a large order for acid phosphate from Holland at $55 per ton. Contrast this $55.00 per ton with $20.00 per ton paid by the Southern farmer. If the Dutch farmer can afford to pay $55 per ton for acid phosphate and make it pay, how much more can a Southern farmer obtain when he can buy about three times as much phosphate with the same money? Dutch farmers are shrewd and thrif ty. They have developed agriculture to a very high state of efficiency, and they know quite well what can be done with acid phosphate at $55 per ton. Their land is not poor. To the contrary it is highly developed ' and fertile. Every rod that can possibly be used for agriculture is-xultivated like a garden. They have found that no matter how rich their soil, fertiliz ing it pays. Out of their experience they find that it pays them now to invest as much as $55 per ton in acid phosphate. Aids In Combatting Boil Weevil Under boll weevil conditions, early maturing of cotton is essential. Acid phosphate, of course, promotes the fru ition and maturing of cotton. All ag ricultural authorities are now recom mending liberal use of acid phosphate in fertilizers as an important measure in combatting the boll weevil. If the Southern farmer had to pay $55 per ton for acid phosphate, what a disadvantage he would face! Since he only pays about one-third this price, how fortunately situated he is! Na ture has placed here in the South great deposits of rock phosphate which, when treated with sulphuric acid, becomes acid phosphate, an ingre dient of fertilizer. : Not only is the Southern farmer fa vored by reason of the natural de posits of phosphatic materials, but, in recent years, the South has become a great manufacturer of sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid has an import ant place in many forms of manufac turing, and is one of the essentials In making munitions of war, hence large quantities of it have been drawn to the munition plants at enhanced prices. The high market for sulphuric acid has lifted the price of acid phos phate over that of former years, but not enough to prevent its still being a most economical plant food. phatic fertilizers most readily availa ble as plant food. Hence this is why agricultural authorities are stressing its use in fertilizers for boll weevil territory, where the purpose is to has ten maturity of the plants and to get as much cotton set as possible before the weevil has developed in sufficient number to get all the new squares and the bolls that form, as it will do later on in the season.

Inquiry "How would you fertilize to beat the boll weevil to the cotton?" In growing cotton under boll weevil conditions, several factors must be given consideration. The land should be well drained and well supplied with vegetable matter. Good seed of a va riety adapted to the locality should be chosen, and, of course, a variety that will mature its fruit quickly and resist wilt should be planted. Fer tilize liberally, and properly cultivate. On the heavier soils, such as the red clays and clay loams, the use of a fer- Ltilizer carrying 10 per cent to 12 per cent phosphoric acid, 3 to 4 per cent nitrogen and a small per cent of pot ash, if it can be had, should be used. Apply at the rate of 250 to 400 pounds per acre. On lighter soils in which nitrogen, phosphorus and potash are all usually deficient, a fertilizer carry ing all three elements is desirable. Use 10 to 12 per cent phosphoric acid, 3 or 4 per cent nitrogen and 1 or 2 per cent potash, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds to the acre. The factories of the Willys-Overland Company, of Toledo, Ohio, readi ly shows why it is today possible to buy for less money a better car than could be purchased several years ago in spite of the advance in price 6f material. Machinery of titanic proportions now cuts, pounds, drills and rivets au tomobiles with marvelous accuracy and speed, replacing the slower and more tedious hand work of other years -On all sides the spectator at the Willys-Overland factories is flanked by mechanical units that have sprung into being since the public's discovery of the numerous uses to which an au to mobile can be adapted. He sees beig machines that stamp out a pair of side rails from cold stee! in three seconds, as though they were made of paper mache; he sees huge mechanisms that, at the push of lever, cut and press into shape steel radiator shells, fenders, drip pans, in astounding quanities. In the heavy machine department is an automoton grinding and boring away with a skill and precision sur passing that of the most ingenous ar tisan, and with the speed of a score of such workmen. An output of the vast ness of the Willys-Overland Company has made imperative this invention. The workman sets in the rough fly wheel, which is held in place by air pressure, and pulls a leverl The ma chine automaticly adjusts nine sets of tools in turn. Every tool is fixed so that there can be no mistake in the trimming of the flywheels. Each one is cut accurately to the very last scraping.

In the earlier days of the industry these same operations were performed by half a dozen machines in several hours' time. Another mechanical revelation caus ed by quanity production is a multi ple spindle drill that, at one operation, bores in thjgtr proper !ia$es 81 holes in an aluminum crank case. At every turn are evidences of the strides made by mechanical equipment in an effort to keep pace with a de mand that requires in 1917 more than 200,000 cars, already contracted, for by Willys-Overland dealers all over the world. WILLOW BROOK ITEMS SOY BEANS IN THE ROTATION. Inquiry "Will you recommend a rotation in which soy beans, cotton and some other crop will be used?" Soy beans are highly recommended. They are a legume and, therefore, do not require much nitrogen. The hay is abundant and the feeding value high. The oil mills afford a ready market for the bean, and the cake which is produced by the mills has splendid feeding values. A good rotation to follow is cotton followed by corn with soy beans, fol lowed by oats and cowpeas. For southern, conditions Hollybrook and Mammouth Yellow are recommended.
