Haven't You Heard of the
New Way to Grow
Better Crops?
Cared Fertilizer ? The Result of Years of
Research
For a lifetime Mr. Rc?ster and hi? large organization of farm
experts have searched, tested and toiled to improve fertilizer
and thus increase the earnings of farmers.
A Startling Development
One of the most startling discoveries has been the curing of
fertilizer. Mr. Royster and his helpers found that after aging
in bins for four to six months, fertilizer grew better crops I The
various chemical elements combine with one another and the
close association of these elements brings about a chemical
action which makes every food element in the fertilizer avail
able to the plant, just exactly as it to needed ? from seed time to
harvest.
Double Milled
After this aging, Royster's Fertilizer is re-milled (to prevent
lumping) and then bagged. AU this additional work and care
certifies the quality of Royster's Fertilizers ? and assures you
of proper feeding for plants.
Be Sure to get Royster's
The name "Royster's" appears on every bag of Royster's
Fertilizer. Look for it. Ask for Royster's Fertilizer by name ?
and stop guessing about brands.

N. C. E. A. Pass Resolutions
The following resolutions were adop
ted by the North Carolina Educational
Association at its meeting in Raleigh
last week:
"The X. C. E. A. In its 40th annual
meeting In the city of Raleigh, March
1924, adopts the following resolutions:
"1. That we rejoice in the contin
ued educational progress of the State
and we thank Governor Cameron Mor.
rison for his outstanding leadership
and support of the school financial
program and appreciate the friendly
attitude assumed by the members of
the General Assembly toward the edu
cational measures presented by the
educational leaders of the State.
"2. That we wish to express our ap.
preciation to the colleges of North Car
olina. both State and denominational,
for their great contribution to the cause
of edi cation through their prepr.ration
of teachers and especially through the
splendid development of their depart
ments of education and teacher train
ing. Without their help, the schools
of North Carolina could not have ad
vanced so rapidly.
"3. That we express our hearty ap_
j proval of the elevation of Mr. Allen to
the State Superintendency and pledge
him and his co-workers -in the State
Department of Education the loyalty
and co.operation of the teachers of the
State.
"4. That we endorse the administra
tion of the N. C. E. A. under the retir
ing President. Miss Elizabeth Kelly,
and we approve - the dlstrist meeting
plan and recommend its continuance.
That we further recommend the es
tablishment by the N. C. E. A. of its
| own magazine.
"5. That we go on record as ^up
porting the National Education Asso
ciation in its efforts to secure the pro.
per recognition by the Federal govern
ment of the national importance of
education. We favor the early enact
ment by the Federal Congress of the
Sterling-Reed bill.
"6. That we urgently petition the
next session of the General Assembly
to relieve the County Superintendents j
of Public Instruction of p.ll duties of
~the Department of Welfare and we j
urge the enactment of a law that will
prohibit the sending into any county I
of the State, school funds for the Day- I
ment of salaries of teachers until .Che '
State Board of Education is satisfied ]
that the counties have made adequate
measures for the enforcement of the
compulsory attendance law. We re.
gard the office of County Superintend
ent as involving too many duties al
ready to permit him to serve as Coun
ty Superintendent of Welfare.
"7. We call attention to the bene
ficial results that have followed the
standardizing of the colleges and teach
er training institutions of the .State
and we point with pride to the iNKnark
able growth of high schools that has
attended the Standardizing policy of
! the State Department of Education.
!Wr recommend the Standardizing of
| the elementary schools in accordance
I with the principles presented by Miss i
Susan Fulghum in her address of ;
Thursday morning, March 13.
"8. That the executive committee
appoint, at a early tiate, a committee
of five, one of whom shall be a county
superintendent, one a oty superinten
dent, one a high Bchool principal, one
a city grade teacher and one a rural
grade teacher to constitute a commit
tee to work out a code of ethics. This
committee to report to the executive
committee their findings in writing,
not later than the first of September
and their report to be presented for
consideration by the secretary at each
[of the six district meetings and to be
1 finally acted on at the next meeting
of -the N. C. E. A.
"9. That we believe that the con.
stl'utlonal provision for a general and
uniform system of schools will be
much better realized than ?t present
by the enactment of legislation pro
viding for the following:
"A. A minimum term of eight
months for all the children of the
State, regardless of whether they lire
in Incorporated towns or In the rnral
districts and regardless of whether
they are attending standard high
schools or elementary rural school*.
"B. A county.wlde plan of organi
zation and school support for the bull
clings, equipment, teachers' salaries
ind maintenance and control of all the
schools of the county and that this
plan of organization shall be worked
out so that it will not preclude an?
section or part of the county from
providing as much better schools as
It desires and can.
"C. A material Increase in the equal
tzing fund now necessary to aid the
weaker counties and a supplementing
of this fund by additional money* not
apportioned according to population,
Lax values or school attendance but to
be distributed by the State Board of
Education in order to stimulate devel
opments In the exceedingly weak coun
ties and communities of the State.
"D. The establishment ot a sufflc.
lent number of normal schools to pro
vide enough teachers to fill the vacan
cies resulting annually In the State
Bchool system, for which there are
now available no teachers of standard
training. We believe that this will re.
quire at least one new normal school
annually for a period of six years.
E. That the Balary schedule be
amended 90 that principals of stand
ard elementary and standard high
schools may be on an annual basis
and equivalent to the salaries of the
superintendents or principals of small
towns or specially chartered schools
of like Importance.
F. The placing of the school build
ing program upon a basis similar to
the State road program by which the
State will finance and control the
erection of a sufficient number of fire
safe buildings to place every child
within reach of a standard elementary
and a standard high school. We re
commend the creation of a State Bull
ding Commission with an executive
chairman and a force of engineers and
draftsmen sufficient to adequately su
pervise this building program. We
belelve that the counties have wasted
a large part of the fees they have paid
to architects within the last three or
four years through the erection of In.
adequately supervised buildings in ac
cordance with plans that have not al
ways been adapted to the particular
tot upon which the building was to
be placed and we see no more reason
why the school bglldlng fund Should
be loaded with the^fees of private en
gineers. We further recommend that
the debt* assumed by the counties (or
IrolldlnffC erected with funds secured
from the two State Loan Funds Of
95.000.0M each be assumed by the
State as soon as practical under this
plan, provided there is maintained at
these buildings a standard elemen.
tary and a standard high school.
"G. . That we favor means being
provided Jointly by the State and the
counties for the employment of a
trained supervisor for every county
Jo North Carolina. We further favor
the employment of trained supervis
ors for the special chartered schools."
