I ' . s Better Farming in the South . . . . 0 - ' i - THE FARMER ONE OF UNCLE SAM'S DEFENDANTS By D. B. Osborne, Chairman Soil Improvement Committee, Atlanta, Qa. Wir. Farrrfer: 4 vr Tlie above picture exemplifies t h 0 vital importance of j-our position in the World War The fight of free dom and democra cy against German autocracy. Upon you is placed the grave responsibility of producing abund- OSBGRNE ant crops with to feed and clothe our army the armie3 and navies of own people at homo Allies in Eu- D. B which and navy; Our Allies our .nd the peoples cf our rope. Failure would bring disaster to our army and an untimely and unneces sary death to many of our boy who hare gone forth to battle in defense of our liberty. But, Mr. Farmer, we k::ow th?t un der the great respor.v.b.lfty placed on jou by cur Government, that there is no such word as "fail" in your vo cabulary and that nothing short cf 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 lertilizers, good seed, thorough cultivation, and Jlabor-saving machinery. DIED. Mrs. Anna Davis, widow of VI. 3. Davis, died in St. Vincent Hospital, Norfolk, Va.. Tuesday evening, Jany. 1st, 1918. !; Mrs. Davis was a srreat suffer er from Bright 's disease, she i iaving lost her sight before she : lied. Her remains were laid to 5 est in the old family burial .round at the Davis homestead ?hursday evening. Jan. 3rd, just i s the sun was set'ing behind he western hills, in thebresc-ncs : f a host of relative?, and friends ; She leaves behind to mourn ; er loss three children, Gladys, ;S years old ; Rosalie. 11 years Id, and Mary Ward, 8 years old, ' hd two sisters, Mrs D. S. Pow ,1 of Parmele, and Mrs. Emma adgett of Roper-; two brothers, tr. J. D. Craff of Roper and Ir. W. T. Cratt of Evkr.ton, N. besides a host of frieiids. Mrs. Davis was a devout mem r of the Christian Church, lding her membership with ;e church at Zlon's Chapel. She as an earnest worker in every t;partment of church work, be g of the young ladies' class in e Sabbath School and was sel m absent. She will be greatly issed by the church and school. ie funeral services were con jcted in the presence of a large ngregation, by the writer, i H..L. Freeman. One of your most pressing prott lems and one to bo 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 farmer la capable of giving. The mobilisation ot our army, re quiring a maximum movement of troop trains and supply trains, has over-taxed the capacity of our railroads as never before, and In order for fer tilisers to be distributed this season, the movement must of necessity, be gin early and the unloading of cars at desUnation 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 cotton, a bushel cf corn, oat3 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 you may be sure to get them. And when you get them, use them with the greatest degree of intelligence. Satisractory results are bound to fol lowboth to you atd to the Govern ment to each of us a wonderful oppor tunity to save. Judge Stephen son says. ''The way to get out of this war is for all of us to get in it," This "Drive" is to last through March and we hope by that time we shall have reach every person in Washington County. j Let us rally to the call of our ! government and no longer have North Carolina bear the stigma of thriftleseness.
