Raleigh. Much 81.-The Farm
ers' Union fight against truat
prices assumed aomething of a
buainesa like shape today when
corporation papers were taken
oat in the sum of $600,000 with
which to construct a fertilizer
factory in Raleigh.
' The bueineas may begin with
91,000 and that ie the amount of
capital subscribed as a starter.
The well known names of Dr. H.
Q. Alexander, Clarence Poe, W.
C, Crosby, E. C. Faires, W. B.
•ibson, J. Z. Green, W. R. Dixon
and Dr, J. M. Teuiplecon appear
as stockholders. The union has
put the shares down to the people.
The par value is $lO and it will
be poesible for 40,000 farmers to
have a hand in it if they wish.
The fertilizer factory became a
certainty when the State conven
tion met here in November, but
the intervening four montha was j
used in an effort to get auch con- {
cessions as the men felt belonged
to them. Having failed the
utjion decides to make up ita own
odors. It will later determine on
what acale it will work and how
much machinery will be installed.
The union not only resolves to
make its own guanos but has de
cided to unmake those who were
not friendly to its cause in the
late general assembly. Wh f»*he

"In recent years
■oil fertility has
come to le look
ed upon in • new \
light Soils are (
no longer spoken ,
of as being rich |
■ Imply because i
chemical analysis
■hows that they
contain a band
a nee of plant j
food. Much of ,
J. N. HARPER, this plant food (
Agronomist may be locked up
so that plants can not get at It. To ,
be available plant food must be in
soluble form; that Is, it must dissolve ,
in the soil water and change into Just
the form that the plant can use for
its growth," says Professor Harper.
"In fact," be conUnues, "a chemical
analysis may show that a soil has lit
tle total food content, but that little
may often have plant food In a more
available form than the richer soil,
and, as a consequence, will produce 
greater yields.
"Most of the soils of the South have
been formed from granite rocks which i
have decayed or crumbled Into parti
cles. Sollh derived from granites con
tain considerable sand. Buch soils
are fcund very extensively in the re
gion east of the Mississippi river.
"Can these sandy loam soils of the
South be made to produce abundant
crops?
"The answer is 'Yes.' Proof is pro
vided front the experience of thou
xands of farmers. They won through
proper farm management and fertili
zation. Many fanners of the South are
; today getting u bale of cotton to the
j acre where I hey once got only one
! third of a bale. They are producing
i from 60 to 75 Dushels of corn on the ,
same land which a few years ago pro- ,
j duced only 16 to 20 bushels.
"What is the secret of their sue-
I cess?
j "Is it in the change in the methods
lof cultivation? There has been con
siderable impsuvement in this respect.
"Has It been due to deeper plowing?
This has been a help.
"Is It due to crop rotation? The
right kind of rotation is beneficial.
"What then is the great reason? It
Is this, the plants have been fed bet
ter and they have responded with bet
ter yields. In other words, it came
about through proper fertilization.

whom the writer knows well, is now

was producing only one-third of a bale,

TO MAKE COTTON FRUIT BETTER
* J. C. Prldmore, Agronomiet
Inquiry— "My cotton produces plen
ty of weed, but fruits poorly. What
fertilizer would correct this?
Kroni the knowledge of plant nutri
tion as it is understood at the pres
ent time. It appears that you have a
koII containing a fairly good suoply
cf nitrogen, but deficient in phosphoric
acid and potash. The element nitro
gen is considered largely with the de
velopment of vegetative parts of the
plants, such as the stalk, stems and
leaves. The phosphoric acid ia respon
sible to a large extent for the develoi>-
ment of the fruit, and the hastening of
the maturity of the plant. Potash grvea
general tone and vigor to the plant,
and improves the quality of the fralt.
The use of fertiliser will supply these
plant food elements, and enable one
to overcome these apparent soil defi
ciencies.
A material analyzing from 1 per
cent to 2 per cent nitrogen, 10 per
cent t« y~ per cent phosphoric acid,
and 1 per cent to 2 per cent potash,
could be used profitably In such cases.
Apply at the rate of three or four
hundred pounds per acre before (be
crop Is planted, so that the plant can
get full benefit of the material early
In its growth, especially under boll

Calomel sslivatee! It's mer

mite on a sluggish Uver. When
calomel comes into contact with
sour bile it crashes into it, caus

If you feel billious, headachy,
constipated and all knocked out,
just go to your druggist and get
s 50 cent bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone, which ie a harm
less vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doaen't start
vour liver and straighten you up
better and quicker than nasty
calomel and without making you
sick, you just go back and get
your money. •
If you take calomel today
you'll be sick and nauseated to
morrow; besides, it may salivate
you, while if you take Dodson's
Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition
and ready for work or play. It's
