First this hunger for potaBh,wasmade apparent by- decreased yields. Virginia, Maine, NeWJersey and Now Yoricbav$ found that they cannot grow potatoes as well as they could five or six years ago. Potatoes don’t set as well, tubers' ' don’t hil out, and disease Is more com- mon. •• ' ■ ; r Potato Specialists; who have been studying the matter, say that most of ' the trouble 1 $ duetto, the lack-of pet 4 ash In the potato fertilizer. They also say that the new diseases of potatoes which have, been so common for the past two years afe nothing more than • ’‘Potash Hunger.” The Phoma stem blight, which was so common in IMS along the Eastern seaboard, bas‘ been definitely traced . .down to malnutrition due to lack of potash. The disease Is made apparent .^.by a bronzing of the foliage followed by a. premature collapse of. the entire plant. 1 r Specialists in Washington say that nsing potash fertiliser will remove the Cause o f the trouble, and advise farm­ ers to -buy fertilizer containing 2 to 8 pee cent o f potash for use next year. MAKING Alt ACRE' PRODUCE MOREPQRK ; - In these days when every acre must 'be>*Bade to produceits utmost, the re­ sults with fertilizers at the Ohio agri­ cultural experiment station are most interesting. Translating corn yields Intoterms of work. It was found that where no fer­ tilizer o f any kind was used, an acre 'o f corn? would produce about 282 pounds of pork; where manure was used on the corn land, 45? pounds of pprk were produced; and Where fer­ tilizer Was applied In addition to manure, an acre of com produced 1552 pounds Of work. 4 On most farms manure is lacking and more dependence must be placed upon the commercial forms of fertiliz­ er. All who expect to use fertilizer next spring should place their.orders not. later than November. Wartime conditions make It necessary to order Car In advance. nine steers can be profitable produced: -on fertilised fields which unfertilized had fed but six, A fertilised pasture maintained nine sbeep where unfertil­ ized It would maintain but five. Many farmers figure that through this method they will be able to pro­ duce live stock and still have grain to sell. " MORE A N D ^ ^ E R ^CORN The average acrel yield of corn In Ohio, Indiana had Illinois, three of the leading corn-belt states, has been about 85 bushels per acre—end this On land whichhas been farmed for scarce­ ly more than two generations, and which is naturally o f the best. On the other hand. In New England, on land cultivated for well on to'two centuries, on soil not of-thebest, and in a climate rather bleak and harsh, the average has been 42 bushels P * aero* It is the consistent OndMntelUgent use of fertilizers which has mUde thp differ­ ence possible. In all corn, sections yields of from 7ft to 100 , or even more, bushels per acre are easily possible, Fertilizers not only .make possible the production o f more corn per acre, but by so doing free land for other uses — 1 for more Wheat, Ormore o f any other crop, Nearlyalt of the experiment stations have experimented with fertilizer on corn, In Ohio.820 pounds per acre of a coir dete fertilizer Increased the yield 17 bushels per acre-p-thls where no manure was used. At the same station eight tons'of manure, contain­ ing considerably more ammonia and potriShi but-no more phosphoric acid than the above fertilizer,-produced an Increase of 2 ft' bushels of corn per acre; When this manure Was supple­ mented With 820 pounds per acre o f add. phosphate, however, the increase In the com crop.has been an addition­ al 12 bushels.- This means a total in­ crease o f 82 bushels per acre, produced by manure and fertilizer. The West Virginia experiment Sta­ tion secured,A« increase o f 47 bush­ els per acre f^om, the use o f complete fertilizer alone. At the Pennsylvania experiment station, 65ft pounds per acre o f a complete fertilizer increased the com crop by 18 bushels. ' Back of available plant food is the greatest single factor causing low acre yields of corn. It fs the function of fertilizer to supply tills available food. Fertilizer,, in connection with good farming'practices, will'double the acre yield of Corn, and thus set free land more than sufficient to grow wheat enough foif ourselves and for our allies in' Europe.' To grow more Com o f more wheat we need send to tbe block not a single head of. breeding, stock.

SnccesBfnl farming is basic to ‘'the general welfare. Conditions which denied to the farmer ample funds for operation and adequate credit facilities for tbe purchase of land and .improve­ ments were of grave'national concern, ' t . Therefore, a rural credits sys­ tem was devised as a part of the financial system, of the nation in .order that the great Industry of agriculture, the source Of fhe na­ tion’s food supply, might htwse.an equal chance with other linen of business and Industry. Fedcrdi land banks were cre­ ated to provide credit and money for tile borrowers of small means —plenty of money at low rates of interest and on long-time credit. These, banks were formed by the, government subscribing most o f the capital stock. Joint stock land banks were created to provide credit and money" for farmer borrowers of larger means—In order that the large borrowers might not take all the money ,the farm land hanks Ii&d to lend and thus leave the small borrower without funds. These banks are private­ ly owned, but are operated un­ der government supervision and are subject to all the essential restrictions placed upon the fed­ eral land banks.. To make farm loan bonds at­ tractive to Investors, and to make it possible for these bonds- to compete withmunicipal bonds, the government made them ex­ empt from all federal, state and local taxes." Without tax ex­ emption, the whole farm loan system would have failed abso-: lately.

McAdoo, The right and duty o f the federal .govern­ ment to aid and encourage agricul­ ture was told by former Justice Charles EJ. Hughes and former Attor ney General Of the Halted State; ■George ,1V. Wlckersham, Interest Rates Reduced. As brought out by Mr. McAdoo, tbe farm loan act wan passed by congress to provide ample funds for agricul­ tural development and agricultural op­ erations. Mr. McAdoo, Who was sec­ retary of thd treasury at the time this law was passed, said that It was the intent of congress to provide: 1. Plenty of money for the farmers. 2. Low rates of Interest. 8 . Lonjg and convenient terms oi credit, 1 ■ ■ Mr, McAdoo showed how this act al ready had reduced rates of interest to many and extensive sections of the United States and had so stabilized In terest that rates were now almost uni­ form throughout the United States. • He showed how the federal land banks were created In order that tiu farmer of small means might have credit and borrow money at as low rates and on as easy.terms as the man of larger meads, Protects Small .Borrower. He told also how fhe joint stock land bonks were created to protect the | fartner of small means in his right to tow rates and easy terms. He said that without the Joint ftock land banks there was grave danger that the heavy borrowers would absorb all the money which the federal land banks could assemble and thus leave the small bor­ rower in much tbe same condition at before. The farm loan act also has operated -to make more generous everywhere the terms on which- farm, njortgago loans are made. The- amortization plan makes it possible for the farmet to borrow the money he needs and to pay it back in small annual or semi­ annual Installments as he is able to take It out of the soli, - Tax Exemption Neoeswry. “Now* of the farmer Was to get the real benefits of this act,” said Mr, Me- tVfloo, .‘‘If he Was to secure plenty oi money and at a low rate, It was neces­ sary that the quality and character oi the securities lssned by these land banks should appeal so strongly to capital, that they could sell on-a parity 1 with munlclpat bonds or other tax-ex­ empt securities.

Owing to the rapid decline in the natural gas’ supply every effort must be made to conserve it that its use may be prolonged. Natural gas for industrial purposes is nearing the end. How long you will continue to have . for domestic use will depend largely upon your economy in its use. Industrial consumers arid a few large residential furnace consumers have been the chief, and for the most part the only profitable consumers of the natural gas company. The time is here when this industrial consumption muit be lessened and soon be discon­ tinued in favor of the domestic consumer. * ■. . ■ * ' v ; The average new well ^drilled ofr gas today, if a producer at all, produces one-third of the aevrage production of a well four years ago, because o f the fact that the good gas territory has heretofore been developed; and yet the cost of drilling a Well now is double that of four years ago. These conditions exist because of the resticted ’areas of gas deposits, the exhaustion of the better andmore reliable territory and the economic conditions brought about principally by the War and which are certain to remain with us for some time. It is imperative that we greatly increase our development if we are to produce a necessary supply of natural gas n ithe immediate future years to come for even dommestic use. These ednditions necessitate an increase in rate to consumers of this company and we have uniformly and equitably increased the rate which for the time being on the Xenia Division will be Forty cents (40c) net per thousand feet, with a minimum monthly charge o f Eighty cents (80c) to each consumer. How long the company can maintain a supply at that rate, or any rate, remains to be seen. In the opinion o f gas experts at le&it three-fourth* o f the natural supply o f natural gas is exhausted and it is plain that rigid economy must be practiced in its use if you are to'continue to have the Iu ury of natural gas for any considerable length of tim \ If you will practice economy in its use, your gas bills under the increased rate will not be higher than under t ie former rate. You -will thus pospone the day of artifi­ cial gas, costing three times as much and of one-half the heating value as the natural gas which you now con­ sumed If you appreciate natural gas and desire to con tinue its use, this message raises a question of vital con­ cern to you. * ' , A s a public utility the records of this company have been and are open to public inspection, If you desire any additional information, you are invited to Call upon our local agent or write us direct, ( Sincerely yours, 13 The Ohio Fuel Supply Company M * .. tOk By J.
