States. ';'' . Only too well does everyone remember the dismal picture' this nation, even the world as a whole, then presented. Banks were closing wholesale. The wheels .of industry were barely turning while millions-of. idle men and women hunted forlornly for jobs. Myriad families went -hunirrv though -the-great, warehouses " were : bulging - with -surplus -crops for -which,-"there were nn markets International trade was snar ed while statesmen bickered vainly oVer tariffs, repara tions and war debts. Farmers by thousands -faced loss of their property by foreclosure not because they had failed to make the land produce, but because they had made it produce so" bountifully " there-was no place to sell their crops. It was a strange, ugly picture folks starving in the midst of plenty ; machines rusting while millions were eager to work for barely a living wage ; strong banks breaking while billions in gold was uselessly hoarded away in far less secure places. One would think ignorant savages could arrange their affairs more wisely. Civilization seemed to have become too civilized; despite all our knowledge and all our wealth, we had not . learned the simple el'enientals of tribal, existence.

State College Sta tion, Raleigh, N. C. SAYS TRUCK GROWERS NEED BETTER FERTILIZER CERTAIN soluble salts, consists ing chiefly of chlorides or chlorine, will ' injure truck crops ike sweet ..--potatoes, cucumbers, uitakmpes, and lettuce grown on sandy soils during a dry season md the fertilizers used under these crops should contain not more than fix i per cent of these chlorides ' when 1000 pounds or more of fer tilizer are used per acre. The new fertilizer law does not require manufacturers to give, the contents of all the fertilizers sold partly for the reason that no meth od of chemical- analysis can check the amounts of such ingredients used," savs L, G. Willis, soil chem ist at State college. "Therefore, the truck grower should use care fully the information he has avail able about the kind of materials to use with his crops especially where he distributes 1,000 or iriore pounds to the acre. In truck fer tilizers there is considerable risk when the concentration of soluble salts is unnecessarily high. The salts found injurious most common ly are carried in low analysis pot ash fertilizers and consist chiefly of chlorides or chlorine." Experimental work ; with tobacco has made it possible to prescribe fairly accurately the maximum amount of chloride that can be used without risk or damage, Wil lis says, but work with truck crops is not complete enough yet to allow such a limit to be set. However, truck growers should a . r Ti-t 1 H7i !7St-iYtr vSfl f n f is not over d per cent when fer tilizers are used at the rate of 1000 pounds to the acre. For to bacco, this content should not be above two per cent. The cost of a fertilizer guarantee ing the chloride content will be higher than ordinary mixtures, but may be .worth the. difference, Wil lis says. There are lands on every North Carolina farm better suited for tim ber than other crops and when such lands are put to trees, it will pay the owner more clear profit than will the other crops, says R. W. Graeber, extension forester. . Catawba county poultry growers have perfected an organization to promote the interests of this phase, of farm activity.
