cultivation and the need of,a good;
rotation of crops to improve your..
land. Mr. Howard stated that to '
produce crops cheaply that you must
produce more per acre; he pointed ;'
out that as your crop yields increas- ;
ed that the cost of production comes ,
down. | i
An estimating of the corn yields • j
was made by those present. The corn • ,
on the plat where 200 pounds of |
Chilean Nitrate of Soda and 300 | 1

fertilized with only 300 pounds of
acid phosphate was only estimated
to produce from 17 to 25-bushels per ]
acre. The tests will be gathered in ; |
October and Mr. Owens will make a j 1
report as to the accurate yields of j 1
both plats. ; 1

A GOOD DEMONSTRATION.
On the left of the highway between
Caroleen and Cliffside, on the Cliff
side Mills farm, managed by Mr. B.
E Gold, is an outstanding fertilizer
demonstration that is conducted by
Mr. Gold, F. E. Patton County Agent
and the Chilian Nitrate of Soda Ed
ucational Bureau. On Tuesday, Aug
j ust 26, a number of farmers attend
! Ed a meeting here, to over the
tests and make estimates of the yield
of cotton per acre. Most of those
present estimated that the plat fer
tilized with 600 pounds acid phos
phate, 50 pounds murate of potash
and 300 pounds j)f Chilean Nitrate of
Soda would produce from 1200
pounds to 1400 pounds of seed cot
! ton per acre while the plat fertilized j
with 600 pounds acid and 50 pounds
[ murate potash and no nitrate of soda
would only produce from 700 to 900
pounds of seed cotton per acre. Mr.
Gold will keep an accurate record of
these plats and a report made some
time this fall giving complete results
of the experiment.
Mr. J. S. Howard representative of
the Chilean Nitrate of Soda Educa
tional Bureau was present and made
a splendid talk on the importance of
good farming. He gave some facts on
costs of producing crops. He point
ed out and made it very clear to
everyone present that a low yield
cost more to produce but as your
yield goes up your cost comes down.
Mr. Howard stated that the best way
to get big yields was to increase the
fertility of your soils by the use of
cover crops and legumes. Use good
seeds, good cultivation and proper
amount and kind of fertilizers.
Mr. Gold, manager of the farms
stated that the farm had always made
it a practice to grow all their feed
crops and that every year they had
a surplus of corn and hay for sale.
Mr. Gold also made from a bale to
bale and a half of cotton on every
acre planted. If every farmer of the
county would follow the same prac
tice of growing their feed crops we
would have a richer and better
county.
Some of those attending the meet
ing were J. Y. Hamrick, Jj\, Chas.

Andrew Carnegie
■v
Asked to explain his phenomenal success, Andrew
Carnegie blandly attributed it to his ability to get men
to work for him who knew more than he did.
And that's a formula for success. Nobody who is
really successful does all the work himself. He em
ploys other people's minds and efforts.
Do you do the same in the intricate business of run
ning your home and taking care of your family? You
can, quite easily.
i ou can employ specialists in diet; you can serve
trie master dishes of famous chefs: you can have the
advice ei style authorities in selecting your clothes, of
whole electrical laboratories in buying household ap
pliances, by reading the advertisements.
All the newest knowledge—knowledge millions of
dollars and years of effort have won—is contained in
the advertisements.
If you will use the advertisements in this newspa
per as Andrew Carnegie used men who knew more
tnan he did, every dollar you spend will be spent wise
ly, economically, and will return full measure of sat
isfaction. That's the way to be a success in the great
est business in the world—making a home,
