Yon owe it to yourself and your country to make . every minute count* - - - — Use your car-passenger or com­ mercial— to the limit. Samuel P.

Re< latlve values shift so rapidly these days that a dollar has no definite value, It fs merely a question of how much o f the commodity you want, you can get for the commodity you have to exchange—whether that commodity be labor, live stock, com or wheat A bushel of corn will buy more fen. titlzer now than It Would In 1914, ' Every purchase must be considered on the basis of relative values rather than dollar values. The high quotations for spring fer­ tilizers have caused' many farmers to ' ask whether it will be possible to use fertilizers at a profit next season.’ The answer to this question may be found by a comparison o f the relative pur* chasing power of crops before the war and at the present time. In 1914 the usual corn fertilizer cost 521 per ton. Today the same fertilizer costs around $32: per tori—an Increase of 50 per cent. In 1914 corn was worth about 00 cents per bushel, tak­ ing the country over,. Today it sells at not lesa than $1.30 per bushel, on the .farm—more than 100 tier cent increase. The same calculation could be made for wheat, potatoes, or almost any other crop (excepting in the case o f those fertilizers containing potash). Each individual farmer has merely to consider whether fertilizers paid before the war; If so they will pay even'better now. WHY FERTILIZER p r ic e s , HAVE ADVANCED. Cannon and crops use the same food. Six hundred thousand tons of nitrates went to make explosives last year, in the United States alone. Sulphuric add necessary for the manufacture o f Add phosphate is normally made from Spanish sul­ phur ores, Submarines have now almost entirely cut off this supply. Brimstone, i used as a substitute source of sulphur, must be trans­ ported by rail- at great expense from Loulsiania and Texas, since the government has found it neces­ sary to Commandeer sulphur-carry-, ing boats. Large quantities o f phosphate rock from Florida and- Tennessee must now go by rail at high freight rate*. Uncle Sam needs the boats. Higher labor; machinery, coal and supply costs have caused a gen­ eral advance in all raw materials, varying from 25' to 100 per cent. Burlap bags which normally cost 10 cents each, now cost 25 cents.and arc scarce-at that. Labor whleh was plentiful In 1914 at $2.00 per day Is now almost unobtainable at $3.50 per day. There can be but one answer to conditions such as these; namely, high-priced fertilizers. WHAT CAU8ED FOOD 3HDRTAOE7 Herbert Hoover, U. S, Food Admin­ istrator, says there have been two prinlclpul reasons to account for the present food shortage. First, the “ un­ kindness of nature,” Including the late spring, droughts, hurricanes, poor con­ ditions o f rainfall, unexpected frosts and periods of Intense .heat In sections throughout the world. Second, he gives “reduced produc­ tivity of the soil In Europe." Concern­ ing this, Hoover says: “This condi­ tion has been brought about by bad management, unskilled work, nnd lack of fertilizers; and these In turn can be explained by the withdrawal of men from farm and field to army and fac­ tory, and the employment on the soil Of overworked women, unskilled old men and listless prisoners. Further­ more the vicious submarine has sunk boat after boat filled with nitrates and fertilizers, conspiring to augment the pauperization o f the earth, so that reduction in soil productivity was In­ evitable,” ARMIES ARE NEEDED AT HOME, I f tfix war is to be won, we shall have It* p*i» several armies In the field* the arts* « sowsiers In the trenches, the Army at food producers In the fur­ rows, trie women's army of food con- servers, beating back the attacks o f that World-old camp follower o f War- famine, ahd a patriotic army of civili­ ans in the business and political World. — The Banker-Farmer, Oct, 1917.
