murder (we properly call it exactly
that) of Chinese non-belligerents—
men, women and poor little children
down to babies too young to walk.
We likewise give ear to assertion;
that the mikado’s object is, ultimate
ly. to drjve Occidentals (including
ourselves) out of the Orient.
It makes us particularly hot under
the collar to have our own nationals’
property destroyed, their lives endan
gered or blotted out and our ships hit
■'by the Oriental Combatants’ bombs.
True, some of the bombs probably are
Chinese, but Japan’s are the ones we
particularly blame. And rightly so, I
think; Japan started the row.
The Johnson Incident.
However, there is a more imme
diately sore spot.
Deciding to bomb Nanking, China’s
capital, Japan warned all foreigners
there to get out.
Os the Occidental ambassadors on
the scene Nelson T. Johnson, Amer
ica’s representative, was the only one
to act bn Japan’s hint and take tem
porary refuge op board a United
States gunboat in the Yangtze river.
If it was any one’s fault it was not
Johnson’s. His orders were to avoid
involving Uncle Sam in international
troubles. Still, the Chinese raised a
howl —as was natural, perhaps. More
over, many of our home newspapers
have charged that the act was one of
seeming cowardice —not by Ambas
sador Johnson, but Ay his home gov
ernment.
“Good Judgment!”
I do not think it was; I think it
was plain good judgment.
I do not think that an individual
American, or even an official one,
is entitled, on a point of punctilio, to
risk involving 130,000,000 Americans
in a foreign war.
Still, it was an irritating incident.
It was irritating enough to compel
the State Department, under pressui’e
of public opinion, to make some pretty
unequivocal demands upon Japan.
As these incidents pile up, they are
sure to strain relations.
FERTILIZATION FOR
SMALL GRAIN URGED
College Station, Raleigh, Sept. :
North Carolina farmers will soon be
sowing their 800,000-acre crop of
small grains: wheat, oats, barley and
rye.
The yield per acre next spring will
hinge largely on the kind of fertiliza
tion given at seeding time this fall,
said C. B. Williams, head of the
agronomy department at State Col
lege.
Proper preparation of suitable land,
selection of good seed of a variety
adapted to the locality, and care in
planting are other important factors,
he added.
Since much of the small grain crop
is sown on land low in organic mat
ter, Williams pointed out, good ferti
lization will sally increase yields two
to three times over what they would
be with no fertilizer.
If the soil has a fairly good supply
of organic matter or if a crop of le
gumes has been turned under recent
ly, it will need only a fourth to a
half as much nitrogen as Williams re
commends for poorer soils.
For the average soil on which small
grain is grown in the coastal plains,
he recommends 300 to pounds of
4-10-4 fertilizer to the acre. In Pied
mont and mountain areas the same
amount of 4-ICI4 is recommended.
On very poor soils, the fertilizer
should be ’ supplemented with a top
dressing of 75 to 100 pounds of sul
phate of ammonia per acre or 100
to 125 pounds of nitrate of soda, ap
plied in the spring.
Where the soil is highly acid, 1,500
to 2,000 pounds of dalomitic limestone
or half that quantity of burnt lime
should be applied per acre after the
land is broken and harrowed or disk
ed and before seeding. The land
should be harrowed again after the
lime is broadcast.

STATELAWS ALLOW
EROSION PROGRAM
22 Commonwealths Enable
Farmers To Fight Land
Abuse Practice
Washington, Sept. 8. —Farmers in
twenty-two states now have authority
under state law to organize for local
cooperative action in combatting soil
erosion and preventing wasteful land
abuse, Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace, said' today.
During the last six months, legisla
tion * providing for the creation of
local soil conservation districts has
been written into the statute books of
Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Indiana, Kansas, Illinois, Maryland,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ne
vada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Utah, and Wisconsin.
Most of these state statutes are
modeled in principle after the Stand
ard State Soil* Conservation Districts
Law, prepared by the Department at
the request of various agencies in a
number of states. In general, they set
up a procedure for the creation of
soil conservation districts with au
thority, as governmental subdivisions
of the state, to develop and carry out
erosion control programs in coopera
tion with individual farmers, and to
enforce land-use regulations which
have been approved in a referendum
by a majority of the land occupiers
in a district.
Legislation of this type was recom
mended by President Roosevelt in a
letter to the governors of the several
states last February. At that time, the
President declared that while the
erosion control demonstrations car
ried on by the Department during the
last several years have “pointed the
way,” state legislation to supplement
feideral activities “is imperative to
enable farmers to take the necessary
cooperative action.”
“The policy of the Department of
Agriculture,” Secretary Wallace said,
“now requires that states adopt ade
quate legislation of this nature as a
prerequisite of future federal assis
tance in soil erosion control work.
Work already under way in the states
will be completed, of course, but no
new work will be started in states
which fail to assume their share of
responsibility.”
“The adoption of districts legisla
tion by twenty-two states in the short
period of six months is significant,”
Mr. Wallace said. “It indicates a wide

Stevenson—Thursday and Friday
Alice Faye and Don Amechie in
in “You Can’t Have Everything”
spread understanding of the national
land problem by the states and a will
ingness on their part to cooperate in
dealing with it. I have little doubt
that most of the states will follow suit
as soon as possible.
“The intent of the Department in
requiring the adoption of such legisla
tion as a condition to the further ex
penditure of federal funds, is to pro
vide a suitable mechanism for the
spread of soil conserving land use
practices to the widest possible area
of our agricultural land. Neither the
federal government, nor the states,
nor the individual farmer, working
creation of soil conservation districts
in the states, with legal power to
make land-use regulations by referen
dum and enforce them through the
state courts, will enable the majority
of farmers in any community to exer
cise a thoroughly democratic control
over local land use in the interest of
the community as a whole. The basic
principle involved is not greatly dif
ferent from the principle underlying
urban zoning laws.’’

also that he had been given a life
membership.
Questioned by reporters who sought
to get a statement from him imme
diately, the Alabaman, smiling, said:
“When I have any statement, you
can accept it as definite and final
that I will make it in away that can
not be misquoted, and so the nation
can hear it.”
He as asked whether this meant he
would possibly make a radio speech or
statement. He said he “might,” but
advised the reporters to “draw your
own conclusions.”
