The senate todav adopted a resolution oix.ereu by Senator Smith, of South Carolina, directing the president to procure or aid in procuring stocks of nitrate of soda for increasing food crops. ; For carrying out the purposes of the resolution 'the sum of. $10,000,000 is appropriated. j Senator Smith explained that it is impossible to get Chilian nitrates at a price the farmers can afford to pay. His purpose is to have the gov ernment send ships to Chile for the supplies of nitrate of soda. He said that in this country -certain large fertilizer handlers have stocks" of ni trates that the government can se cure with the understanding that similar amounts will be returned as soon as they can be had from Chile. The Southern senators vrere unan imous in their support--of the resolu tion of Senator- Smith, of South Car olina, providing for the bringing of nitrates from -Chile to be used' in growing food crops , this year. I "The need for this particular sort of fertilizer," said Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, "exists now. The need for more will exist to an even greater extent later on. The need is for corn, cotton and truck- Cot ton seed has become a staple for food for cattle and for hogs as well, j "Corn is already planted in the Souih, but the fertilizer sought will be used as a side dressing within a short while, and then again in June and July. The first application makes the stalk and the second the fruit of cotton and corn. ' Supply Here" Insufficient. "The present situation is this: There is in this country a supply of nitrates but not enough to meet the demand. That there is in the hands of people who will turn it over to the government for the farmers who heed It with the understanding that they will get it back later on." j Senator Borah asked if it is not too late to bring this material from Chile for the crops of this year. "There is probably not enough in this country to go round," saia Mr. Simmons. "But what is here we can get if this measure is passed. The rest needed can be brought from Chile on government vessels in a short time. 'The trouble has been a lack of ships. I understood that the government can dispatch a ship at once for Chile and bring nitrate of soda to repay that which is borrow ed from persons holding it here now and an additional supply for sale to farmers f&r use in June and July. "The government would be out o this money but a short while. Cash is needed to get the nitrate of soda from Chile. The material is expen sive. The sort of fertilizer in de mand in the South costs from $45 to $50 a ton in normal times. It is now costing from $95 to $100 per ton. The demand for this nitrate of soda cannot be overstated. If we are to do our share of food producing we must have it. It makes but httlo difference how much corn or cotton or Itruck we plant if we do not have this fertilizer. Its value is well un derstood in every state of the South, especially in those that border on the ocean. A proper application of the nitrates will add from 33 to 100 per cent in the production of food crops. It would require at least twice the acreage to make up for it. "Some well-to-do farmers are buy ing the nitrate of soda at the pres ent high prices, but the poor man is not able to get it. Only the rich can afford it under the present circum stances. "If the poor man were will ing to take the risk he could not get the credit necessary to use it. The bulk of our farmers are poor men. This bill, if enacted into law, will help them get it. Many Appeals For Action. "My mail is full of appeals for ac tion by Congress on this important question. Nitrates are high in this country but not so high in Chile. I believe that it is possible for the government to procure them in Chile and bring them here and let the farmers have them at from $45 to $65 per.ton. Of course, we will have to pay more for the material in Chile tlan we paid in normal times, but there has always been a great profit to the middleman in it.. That will be eliminated. The freight has been so high that nitrates .were not shipped from Chile in great quanti ties. That has kept the nrice thprp down. "The farmer is willing to pay as muchas $65 -for his nitrates. The passage of this resolution should not be delayed." . Senator McCumber asked Mr. Sim mons if he had ever heard a senator from the North ask for government aid to reduce the cost of Paris green to kill potatobugs. "I am disappointed that any sena tor," declared Mr. Simmons, "should argue that one 'section will: be bene fitted ; by this legislation.- Every agency for the good of this country is calling upon the farmer to plant more food crops. Tne farmers of nay section of the country want to respond to that call but one of the obstacles in the way. is the inability to get sufficient .quantities of ni trates," which can be secured "without risk to the government. The gov ernment is making a demand for more food crops; it- can help ... the farmer of the South feed himself and produce a surplus for other por tions of the country. 1 -: I "The measure before, the senate has merit,1 and it should not be turn ed down on the ground that it is un usual or unconstitutional- or" sec tional. I hope that it will pass." J Mr. Simmons made a 'strong ap peal and was goaded into a-ifiery re tort by ' Senator McCumber, who seems to have been eating red pep per or gunpowder recently. ARE TWO VALIANT LITTLE BROTHERS. J Costa Rica with its message of support and sympathy, Guatemala with its action in breaking off diplo matic relations with Germany, are evidences from Cen'tral America that the 'policy of President Wilson for honest and fair dealing with the Latin-American republics is bringing results at the time when every bit of aid counts. With many of the countries, of Central and South America voicing their position as endorsing the ac tion of the United States, wiith Bra zil, the greater of South American countries, standing up to be counted with this country, it is to be seen that in the war with Germany it is Pan-America. The action of two of the republics of South America is heartening in the cause of democ racy. I Yesterday it was announced that Guatemala had broken off diplomatic relations with Germany ; and had handed his passports to the German minister: Both Guatemala and Costa Rica are small countries, but their action is that of good cheer. And in taking position Avith the United States little Rosta Rica speaks up as would a loyal little brother to his big brother who is entering into conflict. Here is that splendid message of sympathy and understanding: f The Costa Rica government con siders that it is the duty of all American -republics to support, at least 'morally, the noble attitude as sumed by the United States iprde fense of the highest ideals of lar, of right and justice, and of democracy. The republic of Costa Rica re grets that because of its lack of ma terial strength it cannot in this crisis tender to the United States a more substantial co-operation; but if it might be permitted to demon strate its solidarity with the govern ment: and the people of its great sis ter republic of the north in" such manner, for instance, as by permit ting the "use. of. its waters and ports for war needs by the American navy, that form of co-operation would be undertaken with the greatest satis faction. I5LOO!) FLOWED IX THE BATTLE OF ARRAS. The battle of Arras still rages with the issues remaining in doubt. For six days torrents of blood have flow ed and the armies of Britain and Germany yet struggle-for the mas tery in a conflict which baffles super latives. Tens of thousands of reserves have been hurled against the British battle front by Field Marshal Von Hindenburg in a supreme effort to check the British advance but so far without avail. Almost literally foot by foot General Haig is forcing his stubborn foe back. Both sides are fighting with a resolution as grim and savage as any the war has shown and it seems to be a question as to which can sustain its ghastly sacri fice the longest.

REQUIRES ALL TENANTS w TO GROW PLENTY OF CpN. . . ,r - ' ; "When. August comes, If: you haven't made . enough corn- to feed yofcr family and mule during .the winter, I don't want you to come to my house. Go on off the place some other way. Don't even come by my house when you leave," is the way one W!ake county farmer expressed himself over the growing -of food and feed crops this year. ..He was out lining the year's work with hi$r ten ants. This man works a tenhorse farm, considerable of it being for "halves" or share Crop. ... . In making it imperative that5 all tenants grow enough corn- this year to feed themselves and horses, farm ers generally will be doing a great service to the county, state and na tion. Feed and food crops first. Af ter that cotton and tobacco are prof it. They are not profit by any means, however,' unitil.' enough of the food and feed crops have been provided. This Wake county farmer put up enough meat last wrinter to last him during the year and next winter, too, if need be. He says that 'it could , be sold now at a handsome profit but he is, waiting to see how he comes out this year before letting any of it go. His neighbors or the stores in Raleigh would buy all he has to sell if he would bring it in tomorrow, but he has an idea and a correct one, that meat and other food, is going to be higher la'ter on than it has been since the war between the states. Other farmers should draw a les son from this mart's preparedness measure and take steps to put their own farms on- a war basis. Haleigh News and Observer More Food Crops. Mr. A. J. Hudson, of Route 3, says his neighbors are ... thoroughly aroused to the importance of raising food crops, and many of them are planning to reduce their tobacco acreage and greatly increase the acreage of grain, vegetables and for age.
