FERTILIZER
(Continued from page 1)
of a board of agriculture and a
North Carolina agriculture experi
ment station rule which permits a
maximum of three per cent chlo
rine.
The conference was called by D
8. Coltrane, assistant North Caro
lina agriculture commissioner, who
said the Smith-Douglas company
of Norfolk, had manufactured the
fertilizer without consulting the
state department of agriculture or
the experiment station. He said ex
periments indicated a small quan
ti.y of chlorine to be helpful but
a large amount to be injurious to
obacco, reducing its burning qual
ities and producing a thick, heavy,
•oggy leaf which did not lend :t
--elf to proper curing.
He asserted that, since the ex
periments proved 3.5 per cent of
hlorine would lower the quality j
>f the leaf, correction of the 35,000
ons of fertilizer manufactured by
3mith-Douglas yes within the prov
ince of the board of agriculture.
Douglas promised that no addi
ional quanities of fertilizer of this
type would be manufactured this
season if his company could secure
permission to sell what it now has
on hand.

How do they do it?
Could you produce one-third more
crops with 10% less manpower? The
farmers of America did it during the
last full year of the war.
How? Partly by working them
selves and their machines longer,
harder. Partly by assisting hired help
with wired help.
Electricity has taken over more
and more farm chores. It pumps
water, grinds feed, cures hay, fills
silos. It steps up milk and egg and
pork production. It eases farm house
work, too.
Cheap, dependable electricity has
done more than any other force to
make farming efficient and farm life
comfortable.
Who electrified the farms ? Rural elec
tric service didn’t happen overnight.
It started more than 25 years ago
with America’s business-managed
electric companies. These companies
did the pioneering the pick-and
shovel work.
The advantages of electricity on
the farm were many. The problem
was to get it to the farmer. Distanc_-
and weather called for new methods

and materials. New farm machines
suitable for electric drive had to be
developed.
Each problem was licked in turn
by American initiative and ingenuity.
Service grew steadily better and
cheaper. Farm by farm, area by area,
the web of wire expanded.
What of tomorrow? Today, business
managed electric companies serve
1,850,000 farms (about two-thirds
of all electrified farms) and more
than 4,000,000 other rural customers
outside of incorporated towns. That’s
real progress.
But the job isn’t done. Right now,
as fast as men and materials become
available, these same companies are
extending reliable, low-priced electric
service to more than 1,000,000
additional farm and rural non-farm
customers. These companies are in
vesting $290,000,000 for construc
tion alone.
This program —long planned — is
under way right now.
