T112 rrJUSOIN PRESS and THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN .07 israc.3 v erakiei Banished by Legislature BY C. B. WILLIAMS (Head, Department of Agronomy, North Carolina Experiment Station) The fertilizer law passed by the general assembly this year goes in to effect in January, 1934. The old fertilizer law has been amended so many times that it was in many respects uhenforcable and it per mitted some practices that were not favorable to the interests of farmers in North Carolina. Most of the changes that the new law brings into effect were adopted to make it possible for farmers to know better the quality of the fertilizers they buy. It will not be possible to explain all of these changesjndetaiLbut-a-4rief discussion of some of them will perhaps be of some help to i those who want to get the fullest advan tage of the provisions of the new law. . Changot Order r The first difference that will be noticed will be the order in which the plant food ingredients are stat ed. Under the old law htis was, first phosphoric acid ; secpnd, am monia and third, potash. Only three states in this country use this order and North Carolina has come into line with the majority of the states by requiring that in the future the order will be, first, nitro gen; second, phosphoric acid and third, potash. A fertilizer that was sold as an 8-3-3 under the old law will in. the future be called a 3-8-3. Not only will this order be chang ed but the guarantee will be stated inntefftte '"6frMfrogen instead of ammonia. Since ammonia con tains only 82.3 per cent of nitro gen the use of this term has the effect of making it appear that a fertilizer contains more actual plant food than is really the case. Mix ed fertilizers sold neyt year will have 21 per cent more nitrogen for any given analysis than have those sold in the past and no farmer will need to be a chemist to know what he is buying. The nej1awpDhibits the sale of fertilizers containing less than 14 per cent of plant food. This means that the old 8-2-2 and other low grade fertilizers will not be on the market another year. These fertilizers contained only 240 pounds of plant food in a otn, or in other words 1760 pounds of the materials having little or no value. In fact 500 to 600 pounds of this was usually sand or other worth less filler. . It was the intention of members of the Agricultural Committee of the uenerai AssemDiy to require that 4he manufacturers state - the lrinri and nmriiint nf all the in gredients contained - in fertilizers. o. i . II i. I . oucn a provision tuuiuiiui iiavc been enforced because no chemist can tell by analysis how much of (vittnncwBrlmptil f iek tnnlt ac nr similar material has been used to supply the nitrogen in a fertilizer. Under the old law, these had been grouped together under the general head of organic nitrogen, or am monia as it was then stated. But cyanamid and urea also fell into this classification. The first named ingredients are not soluble in water to any con siderable extent and are somewhat more slowly made available in the soil while the latter are soluble and quickly available. It was thought that some distinction should be made between these and the new law -provides ihnt the umount of insoluble nitrogen shall be guar anteed. J ..The. total organic nitrogen and inorganic nitrogen will not ap- . ' r .1. ' . : pear as a pari oi ine guarantee in . !,. (ntnrf It mau rirvu.-PWfhe till tUlMI V. .....J , . - - I placed on another tag. This provision was not intended ton of fertilizer was made up of to make it appear that cyanamid and urea are not suitable for fer tilizers. When properly used they are very good sources of plant food but they are much cheaper than the insoluble sources and their use tended to give the impression that fertilizers were made of more ex pensive materials than was actually the case. Source of Material " Under the old law, it was re quired that the ingredients of mix ed fertilizers be slated on what has been known as the source tag. The amount of each was not giv en. This permitted manufacturers to claim that fertilizers contained certain high grade materials when the actual amounts used were so small as to be of no practical value. This was not the fault of the man ufacturer but of the law. The old source tag was therefore of ques tionable value at th best and in many cases confusing and mislead ing.', ; The new law permits the use of a 4wdific4-source--tag ta-be-at tached to the fertilizer bag in ad dition to the tag or label which carries the guaranteed analysis. Since this source tag. is not re quired, the law does not specify what statements it shall carry. It is to be used to describe the ma terials of which the fertilizer is made and to carry other informa tion as to the composition of the fertilizer which the Commissioner of Agriculture is .convinced is a true statement. it is claimed on this source tag that there is any nitrate such as nitrate of soda in the fertilizer the amount of nitrogen from this source must be stated as a guar antee. The source tag has been so mis leading in the past that there was some doubt, whether or not it should-be pennlttedLty.slhe;,,-.new. law. If it leads to misrepresenta tion, in the future two. courses can be taken to remedy it. The Com missioner can rule that it shall car ry no statement that cannot be proved by a chemical analysis or the law can be amended to pro hibit any statement that cannot be so proved. It is the hope of all concerned in writing the new law that it will provide farmers with more accurate information regarding the compo sition and value of fertilizers of fered for sale in the state. The law will not protect those who do not understand the meaning of the statements carried on the labels or tags attached to the bags. These will be accurate as far as it is pos sible for the authorities ' to keep them so an they will carry all the information that the manufacturers will support with a guarantee It will be well for the farmers of the state to be prepared to take the fullest advantage of the. new law.

I am thinking of the most dis tinctive thing which stands out in my ministry. Since my illness I have had much opportunity for reminisences. As I look back and reflect on my experiences, I am struck by the unfailing kindness, sympathy, patience and forbearance of the people whom I have had the privilege to serve. I can now better realize the pathetic efforts of the young ..minister. Yet the people were complimentary, hot by way of flattery or hypocricy, but to encourage a young cleric. The ten dency in me to criticise has chang ed to appreciation and gratitude. Able now to realize how little I have given, the kindness and gen erosity of my people assumes larg er proportions. That there are trials and hardships in the minis try is true," burthe " same Ts" "true in every profession and trade, and there are many compensations. There have been oppositions, but they always ended in deeper, and mutual understandings. "As age and experience increase, one forgets uiit pleasant things, and the good stands out. The fine thing about Life is that we can "forget," and "press forward." While discussing this subject, the Rev. N. C. Hughes offered this thought: "In the preceding article Mr. Duncan has given notice that he will request each of two of his friends, of whom I am one, to write for publication what he con siders the most distinctive thing, the most outstanding feature, in his past experience in the ministry. Being myself prone by nature to forget the things that' lie behind and to press on toward what is before, I doubt if I have ever so closely scanned the past as to dis cenr clearly what fact or feature doesstand out inbpldestrelief,6r if I can do it now. -"ThenrtooT-myirristrjr hasbeen diverse in 'character' far the great er part of my time given to school work ; my strictly ministerial la bors not parochiaTbuf "missionary ; nearly two years spent as Chaplain Ili52n?l?;----Frora savariedan experience it is hard to single out what is most striking. "But if I may take certain strong convictions that loom large and have directing force in. my present ministry as the product of my past ministry, I may venture to say that probably the most distinctive thing in that ministry is the fact that I have found in my personal experience in dealing with men of all races, ages, classes and con ditions the strongest confirmation of the scriptural teachings as to the essentially Spiritual nature of mankind. I think I have learned on my own account that, generally speaking, in every human being the sense of the Divinesome"def inite perception of right and wrong, is inborn, or, as St. John puts it, there is a 'light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world ;' second, that every normal human "being is responsive to the ap proaches of love, and can be drawn by the cords of love, or, as St. Paul says, 'Love buildeth:' this is the one great constructive force to bring men together and bind them in an indissoluble unity. These two universal spiritual characteristics afford, as I believe, both a testi mony that manjsjn an intelligible sense created in the image of Cod, arid the only sure ground on which men will or can respond to the Gospel of The Kingdom of Cod." - (To Be Continued Next Week) m m pko m IE V o )o 7CTrrti?r? vera SAFETY a mm Til BlOWOUTS are caused by internal heat resulting from friction beiween the cotton fibers."
