Action on Judge Parker Deferred Till Monday The senate sub-committee inves tigating the record of Judge John J. Parker, lately appointed to the supreme court, has deferred its re port until next Monday, April 21. Friends of Judge Parker still be lieve that his appointment will be confirmed, although a; more serious "fight than was expected may pre cede confirmation. Senators Overman and Herbert of the sub-committee •will .sign a favorable report, but I Senator Borah will nosy approve it, j according to 'laie despatches from Washington. President Hoover is, standing firm and has positively declined request of some senators that he withdraw. the nomination. ! The fight on Judge Parker is | based on two things^:.. His decisio-n in the West VirgjpH \ coal .mine “yellow jacket” contract case, which has incurred the enmity of or ganized labor; and his statement while running for governor that he did not believe the Negroes were 1 at that time fitted for full suffrage,! which has brought opposition from! the - Negro leaders of the north.; In the coal mine case it has been. shown that Judge Parker was fol-i lowing precedent established by de-! cisions of various courts, including! ,the supreme court, but labor is vig-i orously opposing his confirmation.j To offset the attack by the Negroes it is shown that Judge Parker’s de cision in the Richmond zoning case proved his fairness and his. adher encex' to the law. That decision.! whichi declared unconstitutional an j ordinance requiring segregation of i the races incensed the people of j Virginia and they do not like him because he is’ too friendly toward i the Negroes. Wherein, the judge ean take comfort from the dictum that “your course is about right if the fanatics on both sides oppose it.** George Pritchard for United States Senate Congressman Geoijge. M. Pritch ard of Asheville has* announced his candidacy for the Republican nom ination for United States senator in the June primary. This makes three entries for that race—Rev. H. G. Dorsett of Wake Forest, George Butler of Clinton, and George Pritchard of Asheville. Os the three , perhaps Butler is best known over the State, although Pritchard is a son of one of North Carolina’s big men, the last Repub-, lican senator —and later U. S. dis trict judge—Jeter C. Pritchard. Pritchard also endeared himself to many North Carolinians by his courageous stand in refusing to ac cept a room in the house office building in .Washington next door to the Negro congressman from Chicago—DePriest. It is still predicted in some quar ters that David H. Blair, who has been for some years the actual head of the Republican party in this State, will enter the race. Whether he does or does not, the Republicans are likely to have as' hard a race as the Democrats will between Sim mons and Bailey. <s> NYE HEADS SENATE'S SLUSH FUND COMMITTEE <S> The recent Illinois primary cam paign in which Mrs. McCormick won the Republican senatorial nom ination over Senator Deneen, will be the first investigated by the new committee, to look ii\to violations of the corrupt practices act. Sena tor Nye heads the new committee and he' promises to leave njo stone unturned in his investigation. After Illinois will come Pennyslvania, North Carolina and every other state where a real fight is carried on for the nomination. — ...If, God be pan be against us.?- —Pa\il. ' • THE CHATHAM RECORD. PITTSBORO, N. C. Pioneer Fertilizer Mined on Barren Lands in Chile ‘ r 4 Introduction to United States m 1830 Marked First Ufie , cf Commercial Fertilizer. I THE first hundred years in tlio use of commercial fertilizers can now be recorded in the agri j cultural history of the United States. The practice of using commercial nitrogen as a fertilizer was started in 1830 when the first shipment of nitrate of soda was brought to this country. Up to that time only lime and marl of the inorganic substances now com monly used for agricultural purposes were known to the early farmers. Used continuously since that time, nitrate of soda, or Chilean nitrate, as farmers commonly call it, is now rec ognized as the oldest of tlie present day commercial fertilizers. Although nitrate of soda has become a commonplace article on farms throughout the country, it is not gen erally known that one of the romances of modern civilization is woven around this fertilizer. It is a product of a barren desert, high in the Andes Mountains of northern Chile. There is no rain or vegetation in the entire nitrate zone, which occupies a region nearly as large as the ( combined area of New York and Pennsylvania. Not a blade of grass springs from the soil, beneath which is one of the most im portant fertilizing compounds known to Nature. The nitrate ore is found at various depths below the surface, the average being about three feet. It varies in richness from 5 to 70 per cent sodium citrate.

Pittsboro, N. C. in removing the ore, after which it is transported to a refining plant erected near by on the desert. The refining of the ore is an extremely technical proc ess. The objective of the operations, however, is to remove the impurities from the ore and to concentrate the sodium nitrate so that when ready for shipment the fertilizer contains 96 to 99 per cent sodium nitrate and an alyzes 15.5 per cent nitrogen. lodine, which is also present in the ore, is a by-product of the refining process. Small quantities of this element are found in the fertilizer, as are also traces of boron and magnesium. Conservative estimates by geolo gists and engineers in Chile indicate that the deposits are of sufficient size to supply the needs of the world for generations to come. Red Letter Events Found in American Agriculture 1830 —Nitrate of soda introduced into United States.
