Phosphate, Limestone
Make Better Pastures
Triple superphosphate such as is
manufactured by the TVA will
give more satisfactory results on
pastures and meadows when mix
ed with ground dolomitic lime
stone, according to demonstrations
conducted on a number of western
Carolina farms.
J. A. Glazener, Transylvania
County farm agent of the State
college extension service, has ibeen
particularly impressed by the good
results obtained by applying the
ground limestone and triple super
phosphate to pasture lands and
clover fields in that county.
It is found that when these ma
terials are applied, the pasturap
is more palatable and ,nutritive, he
said, and the clover makes a bet
ter, richer growth for^ grazing or
for’ plowing under to improve the
soil. .
The Soil Conservation bervice
has found also that superphos
phate containing ground limestone
would serve the same purpose as
basic slag and in advertising for
bids has secured prices on basic
slag or 16 per cent superpho^
phate, each ton to contam 400
pounds of ground dolomitic lime
stone. . • o,.
The Soil Conservation service as
sumes that 1,140 pounds of such
superphosphate are equivalent to
one ton of basic slag. This means
that when basic slag is
approximately $8 a ton, 16 p«
cent superphosphate containing 400
pounds of ground dolomitic lime
stone per ton is equivalent-m price
when it sells for approximately $14

limestone mixture admirab y suited
to conditions in that section and

(Special to the Press-Maoonian)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—One
of the demands for money which
will be made upon the 75th Con
gress when it convenes on January
3,, '1937, will be for funds with which
to carry on toward completion the
building program to house federal
workers here.
There never has been a time in
recent years when the Government
offices were not cramped for space
in which to ho.use their files and
records and provide adequate desk-
room, air and light for everybody.
Congress has always been slow to
provide mo.ney for new buildings.
Major Departinents Crowded
Practically all of the activities of
the Navy Department, for example,
are still co.nducted in one of the
“temporary” buildings which were
constructed hastily at the time of
the World War. Even with^ the
Navy crowded out of the State,
War and Navy building, next door
to the White House, the War De
partment “overflows” into other
rented buildings.
Perhaps the most crow'ded of all
the Federal offices is that of the
Federal Tra:de Commission, which
occupies another of the war-time
“shacks.” The Trade Commission’s
activities have been expanding enor
mously in recent years, and now it
has had wished on it the adminis
tration of the Robinson-Patman
Act, which promises to call for
some hundreds of additional work
ers and acres of storage space for
files and records.
WPA funds are being lused to
complete the “apex” building of
the “Federal Triangle,” which will
house the • Federal Trade Commis
sion when it is completed. This
w'ill be nearest to the Capitol of
the great group of white palaces
which have already made of Wash
ington the most impressive nation
al capital anywhere in the world;
but the plan under which the pres
ent buildings between Pennsylvania
avenue and Constitution avenue
have been built calls for still fur
ther construction southward of ihe
Mall, toward the Potomac, where
the Department of Agriculture with
its annexes is already on the
ground, with the Smithsonian In
stitution and the National Museum.
Planned For Beauty
Eventually, it is expected, the en
tire triangle, a mile long and a
mile across, lying between the Cap
itol at the apex and Fifteenth Street
at the base, bounded by Pennsyl
vania Avenue on the North and
A'laryland Avenue on the South,
will be occupied by Government
buildings, while to the West, be
yond Fifteenth Street, the beauti
ful old Treasury Building, the
White House and the State Depart
ment building will remain at the
northern edge of the great park
of which the Washington Monu
ment marks the center, and in
which the Lincoln Memorial stands
as one of the most beautiful and
impressive structures ever built by
human hands.
The Government’s building opera
tions were scattered haphazard
around the city, with no particular
attempt to centralize them until
1910, when President Taft proposed
that the Government should buy
the land in the worst slum section
of the city, from Pennsylvania
Avenue southward. Much of this
land was bought then;^ more was
acquired later when, in 1925, a
commission appointed by President
Collidge, developed the centralized
plan under which the#old slum dis
trict has been transformed.
Now more money is needed from
Congress for more buildings. It is
cheaper for Uncle Sam to own his
own buildings than to rent space,
as he has to do now for the over
flow. No matter how much real
estate the Federal Government
owns, its taxes don’t go up, for
under an agreement with the peo
ple of the District of Columbia
entered into nearly sixty years ago,
the Government pays half of all the
taxes. In consideration for this, the
people of the District voted, in
1879, to abandon their democratic
form of government, surrender their
right to vote and let Uncle Sam
run the District for them.
Congr.fess thus became the City
Councir of Washington; or, more
accurately, the lycgislature of the
District of Columbia. “Washington”
is just the name of a post-office in
one of the communities in the Fed
eral District. It is not a chartered
municipality, and has ,no distinctive
city officials. Everything of an ad
ministrative nature is performed by
the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia, appointed by the
President and confirmed by Con
gress.
Thus Congress can do whatever
it pleases in the way of building ot
anything else anywhere inside the
District. It does not have to ask a
Board of Aldermen for permission.
And the residents of the District of
Columbia— well, if they want to
vote and have retained their legal
residences in their old home states
where they used to live before they
came here to work for Uncle Sam,
they can get leave of absence to go
home over election day—at their
own expense—or mail their ballots
home where their state laws per
mit voting by mail.
About twb and one-half million
Americans are hay fever sufferers.
Have You
Funeral Benefit
Insurance?
The cost is so little that no
one should do without it, espe
cially those who are dependent
on moderate incomes.
The assessments are from 5c
to 30c, depending on age. At
present we are making four as
sessments per year. This is
a mutual body, which we believe
has as low a death rate as any
like association anywhere.
Benefits are provided in the
amount of $100 for persons over
10 years of age, $50 for persons
under 10 years of age.
There are over 5,000 members
in the association. Come in and
join the big family today.
