SUBMARINES AND SOIL FERTILITY
How the War Affects the Farmer's Ability to Produce
Bumper Crops.
1 The grip of the srourjo of the teas
ti now, ?fter month* of warfare, felt j
hy the American farmer. When the
l.uiltanln went ttovn the whole world
shivered with horror?horror at the
very eevegery of the deed, yet few of
ua reallted at the time that within a
comparatively ahort time the entire
world would. In one way or another, be
nt the marry of i!. neweat nud most
saToitr of all Implements of war. Lena!
of all did the American farmer rcsllic
that the submarine menace would have
any effect whatever on hia ability lo
reise eropa and do hla bit lo th* line
of food production.
Hut It haal The war Itaelf Id Hi

Now the HUbmnrine warfare has re?
duced the supply of Bpnhtlh pyrites
from which aulphuric acid la tnado.
Thla aulphuric acid la it?ert lu the

A Roanoke Hotel Man Finds
