C. j ' Southern Self-Containment > Stressed by War som aw "mumof -fill The outbreak of the European war stresses to the people of the South the importance of self-con tainment During the World War, the constantly increasing threats to shipping raised sky high the price of that necessity for the Southern farmer nitrate to fertilize his land. This meant, of course, higher production costs for the farmer The current war finds the South in a much better position, since for ten ye>rs there has been production of American soda undei way. Just ten years ago the first bags of Ar cadian Nitrate went out from the great plant in Hopewell. Virginia. The history of Arcadian is covered in the sound and color motion pic ture “The New South.” currently being released throughout the South. No matter how greatly shipping lina, adjoining the lot on which is situated the old water tank' now or formerly owned by the estate of J. A.

But in add tion to this factor, there is the im portant consideration of increased production and consequent prosperi ty ail the way down the line from the production of American soda. Every time a bag of American prodoced nitrate is sold, a vast net work of industry is put to work coal mines, coke ovens, limestone quarries, soda ash production, cot ton mills sot bagging, power plants, railroads, steamships all these and scores of other Southern in dustries and services benefit be cause the soda is produced here at home And all this helps to Increase buying power for the products of the Southern farmer. j SALE OF VALUABLE FARM PROPERTY Under and by virtue of the authcrity conferred upon us in a Deed of Trust executed by G.
