CAN'T RAISE CROPS WITH
LAST YEAR'S FERTILIZER
This is the word the Mocks
ville Agricultural department re
ceived from Raleigh and is pass
ing it along.
There is not enough plant food
left in the soil from fertilizer
applied last year to raise profit
able crops this year. Another
application must be made this
season if good acre yields are to
be secured.
This'is the opinion of L. G. Wil
lis, soil chemist at the North
Carolina Experiment Station, who
states that the Station has had a
great number of requests from
farmers as to the value of the
fertilizer left in the ground last
season. He states that while the
dry season last year resulted in
much of the fertilizers not being
used by the crops during the
summer season, much of this
plant food has either leached out
or has formed such chemical com
binations with the soil particles
that little of the material is avail
able to get the crops off to a start
or to mature a full yield.
The ammonia or nitrogen might
have stayed in the soils until the
winter rains but these have wash
ed out practically all that remain
ed. Potash, he states, is not
easily leached out but it is fixed
by chemical action soon after be
ing applied and these combina
tions grow less soluble with age
so there is little likelihood that
the potash will be of value.
With phosphate, the same is
true, Phosphate dissolves readily
in the soil moisture when first ap
plied but is then almost immedi
ately lixed by chemical action
with the soil minerals and will
not be readily available now.
Experiments have shown, stat
es Mr. Willis, that applications of
phosphate to soils two weeks be
fore planting produces less crop
than applications made immedi
ately before planting. If two
weeks' contact with the soil mak
es such a noticeable difference in
the availability of phosphate, it
cannot be expected that much
benefit will be secured from phos
phate applied a year ago.
A car of hogs was shipped
recently by Gibson Brothers,
farmers of Roberson County for
which they received 14 cents per
pound.
-+
Improved cotton produced 599
pounds of line cotton and ordin
ary varieties produced 480 pounds
of lint in a test made side by
side on the same soil. This is
a good return for better wed.
MR. SID MACKIE DIED
EARLY TUESDAY MORNING
Mr. Sid Mackie, aged 20, died
eariy Tuesday morning after an
illness of two weeks. He had
pneumonia following the flu and
tuberculosis developed, and all
that doctors and family could do,
with the tender care of a trained
nurse, he could not be cured.
The funeral services were held
at Harmony Grove Friends church
yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock
and was conducted by Revs. Jim
Millikan, R. E. Ward and G. W.
Edgerton. Interment was in the
cemetery at Deep Creek church.
The deceased was a valued memb
er of Harmony Grove church.
Mr. Mackie was a son of the
late Walter Mackie. His mother
is Mrs. Lora CranhH, wife of Air.
James M. CrantiH, and one of the
best families of this county.
Mr. Mackie was a good Christian
boy and highly respected by all
who knew him. He was a member
of the graduating class of the
graduating class of the Yadkin
ville high school. The entire
class composed the choir which
conducted the singing at the fun
eral services and the school was
closed for the day. The funeral
was largely attended.
MR. LOGAN RETURNS
FROM FORD PLANT
"I certainly learned a lot dur
ing the two days I was in De
troit," J. C. Logan, local Ford
dealer, said upon his return home
from the Motor City, where he
spent two days visiting the big
plants of the Ford Motor Company
along with a number of other
Ford dealers from this territory.
"It has been ,a great education
to me," he continued. "1 never
imagined anything so enormous.
"We arrived early in the morn
ing, our train being switched
right into the yards of the High
land Park Plant. Then began an
interesting two days. First, we
went through the Highland Park
plant—that is part of it, the most
interesting divisions. You know,
they told us that the area of that
plant is 278 acres with 105 acres
of it under roof.
"But that is nothing compared
to the River Rouge plant where
the big operations are carried on.
There is where raw materials are
transformed and come out in the
form of parts for Ford cars.
"And buildings! Say, you
should see the new building for
pressed steel operations. That's
a real building, one story high,
mostly glass and it covers eight
^cres of ground. Why if they
would clear out the machinery in
that building there would be en
ough room o nthe door to park
more than 5,000 Ford cars.
"We also visited the big engi
neering laboratory at Dearborn,
the Ford Airport and the Lincoln
car plant.
"Things that impressed me most
aside from the buildings and ma
chines, were the cleanliness about
a!! the plants, the safety devices
and methods to prevent accidents
and the absence of any real hard
human labor. Machinery is made
to do all the hard work.
"Another thing, was the pre
cision of manufacture. Every
part is made to exact measure
ment and though manufacture
proceeds rapidly there is no let up
in inspection. Every part must
be of correct dimensions other
wise assembly of cars on the scale
on which Ford production is car
ried out would be impossible. I
wish I could impart to all my
friends the appreciation of Ford
value that I have gained as a re
sult of my visit to Detroit."
