FARM LEADERS DISCUSS
LEAF FERTILIZER GRADES
Agricultural leaders and represemr
tatives <5f the State Grange and the
N. C. Farm Bureau Federation at a
meeting m Raleigh voted to recom
mend that the State Board of Agri
culture keep the chlorine content of
field tobacco fertilizer at a maximum
of three per cent and that of tobac
co top-dresser at five per cent.
The meeting was called by Assist
ant Commissioner of Agriculture D.
S. Coltrane to obtain information on
the wishes of farmers regarding fer
tilizer grades which will be adopted
by the State Board of Agriculture.
In explaining the recommenda
tions of the Experiment Station, Dr.
Ralph Cummings, assistant director,
pointed out that the Tdhacco Work
Conference, which is composed of J
agronomists from several Southern
states, had agreed two per cent chlo
rine should be the maximum used
in tobacco field fertilizers except in
unusual circumstances, when it
might be permissable to go up to 3
per cent. He added that the five per
cent chlorine content which has been
permitted in tobacco top-dressings
was two per cent over the maximum
regarded as . favorable and was per
mitted only to offset diminished sup-,
plies of sulphate of potash.
While there was some feeling at
the meeting that fertilizer companies
should be permitted a wider range
in their own experiments, it was the
consensus of the group that the
quality of the tobacco being, pro
duced should be given first con
sideration.
T. W. Allen, of Creedmoor, speak
ing for the Grange, said: "I am ab
solutely opposed to our appropriat
ing large sums of money to the N.,
C. Experiment Station, and then to
disregard its findings."
G. T. Scott, director of the State
Production arid Marketing Adminis
tration, said that although quantity
has meant much during the past two
ye?rs, "the time is not far distant
when quality will come back into its
own agaiiw"
Dr. Cummings expressed the opin
ion that sufficient sulphate of potash
is coming into North Carolina to
care, for the needs of tobacco and
consequently, it should not be
necessary to Increase the chlorine
content of tobacco fertilizer if this
sulphate of potash supply is given
correct distribution. .
Carl HMa, Farm Bureau official
of Walstonburg, said that the ferti
lizer industry "has made great
strides in providing the farmers with
better fertilizer, and I think we
should permit the manufacturers
some freedom in formulating their
tobacco grades."
However, Alonzo ** Edwards of
Hookerton, legislator and Farm Bq
j-eau leader, expressed the fear that
fertilizer companies would devote too
much attention, to the quantity of to
bacco produced instead of to the
quality of this -tobacco, and this
position was agreed to by W. W.
Eagles of Macclesfield, president of
the State Farm Bureau, who re
marked that "we must look to
bacco from the long-run basis.
