THE ALAMANCE GLEANER.
Secretary Daniels and the Navy.
Kansas City I'ost.
Josepus Daniels, Secretary of;
the Navy, has proven himself i
amply big enough for the job he '
holds—and, thore's no denying the
size of the job. Of course, Mr.
Daniels bas had his share of criti
cism, but with becoming placidity
he went ahead with his business —
his country's business, we may
say—and t right well has he done.
Even his most rabid elites are
beginning to change their views.
Some of them, at least, are chang
ing, and whether changed as to
views or not, many others are
maintaining discreet sileuce.
So, it has coine about that
when Mr. Daniels speaks, the coun
try is inclined to listen, for he is
not given to dealing in plati
tudes.
It is interesting, therefore, to
note that Mr. Daniels says:
"The time has arrived when
this country must choose between
the League of Nations or a big
navy. We can be a hermit na
tion—go it alone—but if we so
decide, we must take the conse
quences. This country must arm
to the teeth She must have a
powerful navy that will be able to
meet all comers, for it is unthink
able that we should allow our
rights or liberties to be interfered
with by any uation. The second
course, and to my mjud the better
belter course, is to enter into some
international agreement which
would mean fellowship and com
radeship among the nations and
make it unnecessary to contiuue
colossal expenditures for arma
ments as we know them today."
Commenting on the altitude of
Mr. Daniels, the Detroit News, a
I
newspaper noted, for its independ
ence of thought, «ays:
"Air. Daniels is right. # Tho n
terestH that oppose the League of
Nations know Mr. Daniels is right.
They know that keeping the na
tions from agreement, sett in r one
against the other, huildi.ig up
balances of power through secret
treaties, and teaching each inde
pendent people that they hi list he
prepared to light at the drtip of
the hat in defense of their boast
ed rights, mean scrapping old
ships to build new, buying guns
and ammunition and armored air
ships and all the co-tly things for
which terrified peoples be
forced to pour their money with
out asking the price. And the
interests that profit by the per
petuation of terror oppose the
League of Nations.
"Mr. Daniels is right in this,
too, that there is a better way,
and that is to enter into some in
tirnational agreement which
would mean'fellowship and com
radeship among the nations and
make it nnnccessary to continue
the colossal expenditures for arm
aments."

Stable Manure and Wood
Ashes for Tobacco
These will cut. down the ferti
lizer bill, s.'iys W. F. Pate, Agron
omist in Soils
The farmer who has stable ma
nure and wood anlies can cut
down his fertilizer bill for tobacco
very materially if he uses caution
in handling these materials.
Wood ashes should not be mixed
with stable manure or commercial
fertilizer a* thin would set the am
monia free. .
In using stable manure under
tobacco apply one ton to the sen
in the drill from .'SO to »0 days be
fore the tolutcco is transplanted
Cover this well. The time of ap
plication will be governed by th
condition of ihe manure. Tin
coarser the material the sooner ii
should be applied before trans
plftntirg.
When time to put on the ferti
liser, open the c*rill row with a
plow, then put out the wood
ashes, mix thoroughly with the
soil, and then apply the fertilizer
and cover again.
On tobacco soils of medium fer
tility the following amount of ma
terials should be used to the acr«:
Pounds
Stable manure 2 ,001)
Cot ton-seed uieal 100
Acid phosphate... '. ,'iOU
Hardwood ashes. 4'JG
Total 3,100
When used as above this mix
ture of materials would e«|iial
about 800 pounds per acre of a
fertilizer analyzing 8 per cent
phosphoric acid, 4.7 per cent am
monia, and 5 per cent potash.
