Filer In Fertilizers
Costly To Farmers
• * ■ ^ -
Filler material used largely in
low grade fertilizers and consist
ing principally of sand and other
inert material is costing North
Carolina farmers about one million
dollars a year. .
This startling statement was
made recently by Dr. Oswald1
Schreiner of the United States De-|
partment of-Agriculture in urging1
before manufacturers the use of a
' smaller number of grades and a
minimum plant food content of at
least 16 percent. Iti asking that!
filter1 material be eliminated Dr. I1
eider said estimates by the Bu-j
reato of Chemistry and Soils indicate
tH'ii in normal years 900,000 tons]
©ffiller are used in mixed fertilizers,!
involving in North Carolina alone]:
©n additional cost of $1,000,000 toil
farmers. ' ' 1
„ _ In «>ntra»t to some other states
where the minimum plant food con- 1
tent is 24 percent, Nojrth Carolina]
bas for more than 20 years used :
fertilizers with an average of only,!
14 per cent of actual plant food •
ttnd the use of worthless filler is]'
increasing. j:
Iis felt by extension workers of'
State'College that not only should (
North Carolina farmers plan to]
•mpfove their soils this fall by the j
use’of legumes and by terracing |
and('other good farm management
practices, but they should at the !
same time, begin to give serious1
consideration to-their plant food *
problems. Not always the cheap- j
est ‘fertilizer the best or the most (
economical fertilizer. The use of j
sand as a filler should especially]j
be pfotested against. j
Progressive growers in some sec-!r
tons have lately begun to demand
limestone as a filler. This acts as c
e supplement to the other plant t
food ju^d has a beneficial effect on j
the soil. Where the dolomitic j.
form of limestone is used, it has no „
- - - O
letrimental effect on the fertilizer
nixture.
Report of Committ *e
on Reform
Your committee would report
hat we deplore the growing ten
lency of our people "to do evil
hat go?d may come”. Many to
lay are igniting mo.'ll qualities en
;irely and acting upon expediency
olely. “If there is money in it we
ire for it."
This is seen, first, by the will
ngness to legalize gambling, horse
•acing and other things concededly
mmoral, and yet thought to be
ich in revenue, a willingness that
las won in some of our states, and
urks and seeks to win in all of
hem.
Second, by the amazing recrude
cense of the liquor traffic. With
lerhaps two exceptions, all of our
Southern states are to be offered
>eer and wine under form of law
iter the first of May. This is bad
:nough but it will be like the let
ing out of waters. The old fight
o a finish is on again. For thir
een years we have complacently
leld ourselves as victors, and have
>een off guard. Insidious propa
;anda has taken us back into con
litions almost forgotten. Instead
if speculating on how it has all
ome about, we rise up solidly to
ppose it. God’s blessing cannot
est upon a nation that forgets
fim, and acts for expediency. The
iquor traffic may be an economic
uestion, but it is first an intensely
mra 1 Ana
We would furthermore placej
urselves on record as lamenting!
he levity that is so much in evi
ence in regard to the marriage re
itionship. Divorce is a rapidly
rowing evil. A nation that does
ot recognize the home as a divine
istitution and that gives legal
inction to forces that destroy it,
destined to be overthrown. We
rish that in this matter, as well
s in all other moral matters, the
oice of God might be heard and
eeded throughout all our land.
IC'e would devote ourselves anew
o our country, our Church, and
iur Saviour as good soldiers of
esus Christ.
The above report was prepared
>y the Committee on Reform of
he Associate Reformed Presbyteri
n Synod and adopted at its meet
lg held at New Albany, Miss.,
uring the month of April of this
ear. The report calls attention
o some matters to which the citi
enship of our Nation should
ive careful and prayerful thought.

ederacy at Baltimore elected Mrs.

LIKELY TO OCCUR

Cale K. Burgess cf Raleigh, who

We are fighting alcoholic bev

Time Lost is Money Lost
It costs money to be sick. You see it di
rectly if your pay envelope is short. You '
lose out on some important work if you
live on a farm or if you are one of the few
who are not docked for lost time. You
can’t afford to show up on the job unless
you are feeling fit. The boss wants re
sults—not excuses.
How many times do Gas on Stomach, Head
ache, Sour Stomach, “That Tired Feeling,’'
That “Morning After” Feeling, Neuralgic,
Rheumatic, Sciatic, Muscular or Periodic
Pains keep you at home or interfere with
your doing a full day’s work?
All these troubles are caused or made worse by too much acid
in your body. To correct this condition take
ALKA-SELTZER
The New Pain Relieving, Alkalizing, Effervescent Tablet.
It is called Alka-Seltzer because it makes a sparkling alkaline
drink, and as it contains an analgesic (Acetyl-Salicylate) it first
relieves the pain of everyday ailments and then by restoring
the alkaline balance corrects the cause when due to excess acid.
Alka-Seltzer is pleasant to take, harmless, non-laxative.
Why don’t you try it? Get a drink at your drug store soda
fountain for a nickel. Buy a package for home use.
