Mr. Ewbank does not pose as an adver tising expert but he lias studei the methods of other cities and conse quently has arrived at a few safe conclusions. Mr. Ewbank is firmly convinced as to tlie effectiveness of newspaper ad vertising for tourist purpose?.-. Last year Hendersonville speiA ili0 with FRANK" A.

C Prldmore, Farm Service. Whilethe Ameri can farmer respon ded to the .world wide demand In 1917 for food, feeds and , clothing, Mr. Houston, the 'Sec retary of Agricul ture, Bays that this does not Justify a let-down in farm activities; - for he has stated that even greater ef forts must be put ft J. C. PRIDMORE. fortn in the coming months. If the southern farmer Is to do his share in producing foods for man and beast, and, at the same time, crow cot ton fibre for the nation, he must either increase his crop acreage, or else grow considerably more per acre than cus tomary. In view of the scarcity and high price of labor at the present time, it seems. to be the part- of wisdom fbr fanners generally not to mate rially increase the crop acreage, but to increase .the acre yields. Increase Yield Per Acre Acre yields can be' increased" by better preparation of the seed bed, by tbe use of good seed of varieties adapt ed to the region, by using a more lib eral application of the right kinds of fertilizers and by better cultivation of the growing crops. While all of these factors influence acre yields, let us call particular :cic-J tention 'at . this - time tr the kind land amount of fertilizer to be used. Prac tically all of the, southern soils are deficient in phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash and these must be supplied in some form to get the largest yields and biggest farm profits. While fhe proper use of these materials will in crease the yields per acre and help supply the nation's needs, the wise farmer will at the same time strive to get the largest financial returns from their- use. To do .tbfs, he must exercise care in buying (hem as well as in applying them. The farmer should understand that plants use fertilizers as foods only af ter they have been dissolved by the soil water, and that which Is not sol uble is not available to the plant. It is to the farmer's interest, therefore, to know that the fertilisers he is buy ing are guaranteed to contain: a stated amount of available plant food. ! STRONG Oil RED CROSS AT FRUITLAHD SUNDAY Dr. A. C. Tebeau, Rev. A. H. Davis, Sergeant Beveridge, Mrs. Wm. R. Kirk, Mrs. A. H. Davis and H. F. Stewart, in the interest of the Hen derson County Red Cross Chapter; and .on invitation of the Fruitland people, went to Fruitland Sunday morning. A large and enthusiastic gathering received .the visitors. The speech of Sergt. Beveridge "from over there" made a deep impression on all who hMrrl him. Rev. Davis followed with ra short speech for the Red Cross cause, after which a brancn.was or ganized with 150 members and fol lowing officers elected: Chairman, Mrs. L. P. Carter; vice chairman, Mrs. J. M. Garren; secre tary, Miss Sue Emma Coston; treas urer, Miss Martha Sullinger; chair man financec committee," Kev. C. E. Puett. This was the best and most interest ing meeting that has been held by the Red Cross workers. - CANADIAN FROM WAR FRONT WELL RECEIVED John D. Beveridge, the Canadian from the trenchesof France, was well received by four good audiences in Henderson county -on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday. - 4 He made interesting addresses in behalf of the Red Cross and War Savings and told of a few of his ex periences at warfare. - The Hustler regrets that owing to the impairment of its typesetting Ta cilities this week further details can not be given.

For the best results in the cultiva tion of general field crops, materials Carrying phosphoric acid, nitrogen and some potash should be applied. "Pot ash is more deficient fn the light end sandy soils-than in clay soils. Not less than 150 to 200 pounds of com plete fertilizers per acre should be used and hundreds, of farmers find more than this amount; to be most profitable. Fertilizers containing these necessary plant food are generally es sential for the most profitable produc tion of all field crops,. Since there is such a world-wide need for crops, and since farm products are higher now than ever before, it follows that the farmer who strives to fulfill the na tion's needs just now by the use of such plant food as is necessary, - se cures at the same time the largest pos sible financial returns for himself. American-Made Potash Good As German Kind If there is any doubt in the mind of a farmer about using fertilizers con taining American-made potash, in the belief that it is not as good as that which was formerly obtained from Ger many, his mind can be set-at rest. by any chemist or agricultural authority. Any one who knowe in what' form the potash exists in the American-made product will declare that muriate or Suflate of potash is the same to the plantwhethen Jt-le obtainedfrom lAtcrt can..- sources: orrtJermany; ;andVT tfiat the plant asks no questions as td Where it originated, but feeds on it just the same. Raise Home Supplies And Some To Spare "Store bought" foods and feeds are too high priced for any farmer to pay, even if he could find them for sale. The wise southern farmer will get in a crop of corn and velvet beans, pota toes, vegetables of various k$nds, grow a few hogs and poultry and oth erwise look out for the needs of his family and his tenants. .With Wl of food products bringing such good prices, the southern farmer should do a patriotic bit if he would raise enough tQ .spae some for the. armies while hi is raising his cotton crop. IIQ1DERS0IIVILLE HD1 PURCHASEGASH FARM A. W. Sitton of Anderson, S .C, has sold the A. R. Gash farm near Etowah to G. H. Valentine, W. F.

HUSTLER AT HALF PRIDE TO SOLDIERS ; W. S.

Pick out one of the men yon know and subscribe for yonr homepe per and send it to him. Any mem ber of his family will give you his correct address. Write him a let ter and tell him you are sending it The cost will be'trifllng. The thought will be appreciated. It 'is not an act of charity, but an act of patriotic service. c -In order to do our bit we have de cided to offer the Hustler at half price 25 cents for six months or 50 cents for a year, to any onei wishing Ifsent to a soldier. - " : This is -a splendid 'way to do your bit Help' us out in this effort to in terest the soldier boys who are mak ing a sacrifice for their country.

The resolution adopted by the church follows:: . . "Whereas, we Have been united with our beloved pastor, K. W. Caw thon, in the sacred relation of pastor ami-people, for a period of seven and one-half years, during which time he has ministered unto us with untiring -zeal and unfailing fidelity and devo tion ; "And whereas, it has pleased Our Heavenly-Father, to reward his faith ful anl arduous labors with great and manifold blessings, as evidenced in the peaceful and harmonious accord that has prevailed in our church, the increase in our membership of more than one hundred per cent, the suc cessful manner in which the financial affairs of the church have been con ducted, more than- $30,000 having been contributed to all purposes dur ing his pastorate, the enlargement and embellishment of our church buildr ing to the extent that it will stand as a monument to his memory in the years to come, and the deepening of the spiritual life of, the church as manifested in the increased activity, efficient workand consecrated de votion to duty of such a large per cent of our membership in all depart ments of church work; "And whereas, the sacred ties that have thus united us have been severed by his resignation ; "Now therefore, be it resolved by tlfe body of the church : : "First: That God be praised for the. great work of our retiring pastor, and that with solemn expressions of deep appreciation for his prosperous and sacessf ul administration, and .with fervent admonition to the Great Shepherd that his path may lead him into pleasant pastures and greater fields of usefulness and that the pro pitious condition in which he leaves the fallow ground of the church so splendidly seated by him, will bring forth "the harvest which his arduous labors so richly merit, and that the paths of all may converge to that pas ture field where there willjbe but one Shepherd and one flock and where pain and parting will be no more.
