mHiNoiia Washington, March 3ft. ? -He ot?nt events in Europe, coupled vith the Japan-China war. have :.ad a powerful influence in Wash ington. The opposition to the big navy" program has almost vanished. The suspicion that M)me sort of a secret, agreement existed between the United States . nd Great Britain for Joint action in case of war has also been al .ayed. But that only makes more convincing to members of Con gress the belief that the United states must arm itself., speedily Jor national defense and be pre pared to resist any aggressions :rom either the East or the West', if it wants to remain at peac^ in ? war-mad world. The main concern of Congress to figure out some way by which zo one can possibly make any :uoney out of war. The belief that wars in the past have been fos tered by interests which hoped to profit by them has been so widely propagandized that it is hard to dispel it. It would not be surpris ing if the authorization o( a bil lon-dollar naval expansion were supplemented by a joint resolu tion providing for t'he conscrip tion of capital and industry in :.ase of war, as well as of man 7 ower. Another Teapot Dome? Not since Teapot Dome has nere been a situation about which ;0 much scandalous gossip is heard in Washington as the row n the TV A directorate has start ad. Rumors of graft on an enor mous scale, of illegal deals with :>Ower companies, and numerous ?.ther reprehensible doings are tieard on every hand. TVA Chair man Morgan's allegation of diffi ulty in securing honesty, opon ess, decency and fairness in gov ernment. and his charges against iiis fellow-directors of "evasion, ntrigue and sharp strategy" have -,et tongues wagging and aroused expectations of revelations, once 'ongress begins its investigation >f the situation, which may not tie? realized. The charge made, by Or Morgan hat the claim of Senator George ?errv of Tennessee for millions n damages by reason of the iiood ?ng of marble quarries in which ?ie (s interested was a "barefaced raud" -has brought one angle of TVA right into the halls of Con gress. The President's effort at conciliation by a personal investi gation failed because Chairman Morgan disputed the President's authority and refused to answer questions except before a Con gressional investigating commit tee. The outlook is that the public will hear a great deal of sensa tional news about TVA when the "ommittee gets under way. Whe ^er it will prove to be as sensa tional as the current gossip rep resents it is another qutfston. Neiv Hull Killings The railroads are frankly disap pointed at the low rate of increase a freight rates allowed t<hem by the Interstate Commerce^Commis sion. The rise in rates figures out an average of 8 per cent, which many lines claim is insufficient to keep them out of bankruptcy with fhe present volume of traffic. Ru mors are circulating around Washington of impending wage cuts and lay-offs of railr.oad work ers on a large scale. Old plans for consolidation of all the railroads jnto half a dozen systems are be ing taken down from the shelves .if the I. C. C. and dusted off for : e-examination. In the prosperous U920's a comprehensive scheme lor railroad consolidation receiv ed a great deal of attention and H>me of the important railroads were not averse to it, provided it save them control of competing lines. The bheoryis that there are too many competing railroads, op erating too many miles of parallel rack, and too many terminals. Consolidation would make for economy and efficiency in opera ion, it is claimed, and would re duce the number of railway work ers. The plan is gaining supporti n Administration circles and *ome Senators and Representa tives have expressed themselves as preferring it to the alternative at Government ownership and op eration of the roads. , ? Much talk is heard about "a new era of trust-busting" as a re sult of the appointment of Pro fessor Thurman W. Arnold of Yale as Assistant Attorney Gen eral. Mr. Arnold is the author of .1 book on capitalism, In which he s on record as holding t'hat the ?inti-trust laws are not enforced. The idea of his appointment is generally believed to be to give aim a chance to try to enforce the existing anti-tq-ust laws, so that their effectiveness can be tested oefore trying to revise them, '^onfcress Anxious to Quit The desire to postpone every thing until the next Congress is oecoming apparent at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenjie. Great doubt is expressed by' ?fcperienced politi cal observers that any further vi tal legislation will be accomplish ed before the members of the 75th Congress yield to the irresistible urge to go back home and mend iheir political fences. Some sup plementary taxes to bring the rev enue up nearer to expenditures may be imposed, since ib is gener ally conceded that -even if tUe new. tax bill yields the full 94r,300, 000,000 which its sponsors esti mate, there will still be a budget deficit tor the next fiscal year.

The Senate late today substituted its own bill containing 21! amend ments to the 193S farm act' for the House bill with 11 amend ments which was passed on Mon day.*" The measure now goes to con ference, with filial action not pos sible until the middle' of next week, as the House recessed until Monday before t-he Senate acted. Additional cotton allotments of 4 per cent for each state in order to equalize the acreage of large farmers whose (quotas have been cut disproportionately in Miose count-ies where the county quota has been absorbed largely by op eration of the flye-acre exemption was the principal feature of the, bill as it passed the House. The Senate passed the same provision, with the language "not in excess of fpur per cent." That language was offered by Senator! Rankhead <5T\yVlabama, who wants' to hold the total allotment to the smallest possible figure and there fore did not want to giye the ad ditonal fouKper cent to states' where it was^tiot needed in order: to correct inequities created by | operation of the five-acre exemp tion in counties where most of the I'OHon growers are small growers. The House committee rejected i previously the same language be cause it was desired to treat all states in the same manner. The Senate bill amending the' farm act included all other provi sions of the Ho^ise amendments, and iu addiMon several others In volving cotton and other commit- i ditles. _ Senator George, of Georgia and .

That's why you should choose your fertilizer carefully. It does not always pay to buy on brand name alone. Check up on the analysis of the mixture. Find out about the quality of the materials it contains. / The final figure in your fertilizer analysis indi cates its potash content. Tell your Fertilizer Man you want at least 8% POTASH in your mixture and ask for genuine NV POTASH, the same potash that has been used by Southern farmers for more than half a century. North Carolina farmers prefer fertilizer well bal anced with 8% POTASH, derived from genuine NV POTASH, because the small extra cost of the extra potash returns them greatly increased yields of better-quality crops. Your fertilizer price list will show you how little extra it will cost you to use an 8% POTASH mixture instead of the low-potash fertilizer you have used in the past. The extra NV POTASH in an 8% POTASH fertil izer helps you to get greater benefits from the other materials in the mixture. The extra yields and extra quality that it produces are the most economical share of your crop. They cost you less and pay you more. All over North Carolina, farmers are using more NV POTASH, both in their fertilizer and as a side-dressing. Don't let them get the jump on you/ Side- &%e55iny Recommendation* FOR TOBACCO: The Tobacco Research Commit tee now recommends side-dressing tobacco with potash, equal to 1 20 to 240 pounds of SULPHATE of POTASH per acre, to be applied within 20 days after transplanting. FOR COTTON: The North Carolina Experiment Station recommends side-dressing cotton with SO to 100 pounds of MURIATE of POTASH, or 12S to 250 pounds of KAINIT per acre on fields which have shown heavy , r Rust damage in the past and where the complete fertil izer treatment contains only 3% POTASH.
