Coltranc, assistant to | the N. C. Commissioner of Agriculture, following num- I erous complaints of illegal fertilizer entering the State, has warned North Carolina farmers that "purchasers of 8-3-3 grade fertilizer manufactured in South Carolina j who buy with the assumption that they are getting 3-8-3 i fertilizer as manufactured in this State are being defrauded." The Department of Agriculture has received several j complaints of illegal fertilizer selling within the State I during the past week. A fertilizer of 8-3-3 grade made in South Carolina is not equivalent to a 3-8-3 fertilizer made in North Carolina, and farmers in this state who arc buying South | Carolina goods at somewhat lower prices than arc asked j for fertilizers of the same I apparent grade are very likely being defrauded, and persons illegally selling fertilizer from South Carolina, or aiding in the sale, arc inviting legal action, Coltrane said. "The trick of the situation is that one of the numerals of the grade designation has ! different values in the two ! states." he added. The North Carolina law provides that I the nitrogen content of fertilizer shall be guaranteed as 1 E ST, A Goo 4-PAGES TOD. hport Comfortable Bus . modern transportation is ofthe W. B. & S.

County Winner Gets Attention Favorable Impression Is Made By Edward Taylor, Of Southport High, For His Essay On "Lost Colony" Favorable comment came toT~> Pnneirur nhoir. clay irom u. a. c ...&1 man of the Koanoke Colony Memorial Association of Manteo in regards to the county prize winning "Lost Colony" essay turned in by Edward Taylor, of the Southport high school. The essay is one of 62 entered from county and city administrative school units throughout (Continued on page four) led About resented Fertilizer such, while the nitrogen guarantee in South Carolina is given in terms of ammonia, and the ammonia value is equivalent to slightly over eighth-tenths of itself in terms of nitrogen. More specifically, the South Carolina 8-3-3 guarantees 3 per cent of ammonia in the fertilizer, which is equivalent to less than 212 per cent of nitrogen, while the 3-8-3 in this state indicates 3 per cent nitrogen, which is equivalent to more than three and sixtenths per cent ammonia. Since organic nitrogen materials for fertilizer are now the most expensive items the manufacturer has to buy, naturally there can be an attractive price differential when the quantity of such materials can be reduced by over 20 per cent." The North Carolina fertilizer law does not permit the use of the term ammonia in describing the nature of fertilizer, and the offering of fertilizer so described is illegal, being subject to seizure by the Department of Agriculture. "Failure of fertilizer to carry North Carolina tax tags is also illegal, and persons selling or aiding in sale of illegal goods are liable to indictment for misdemeanor, as prescribed by the 1933 fertilizer law," Coltrane said.
