Ms. IC U pm ltOKDAT, JANUARY 24, Wit SUBSTITUTE MUCOAKER. The South has suffered t the hand.- of tbe nraekrakers both in magazines and before committees in Congress North Carolina, unfortunately, has been particularly bard hit in the days cone by on account of toe publication - of overdrawn, incorrect articles and false testimony. But of all the libel of foreign mnekrakcrs and the false hoods of agitators before committees combined it is doubtful if the result would be as injurious to the State as the testimony of Mr. David Clark before. the labor committee of Con rress last week. He went there to testify in behalf of the cotton manu facturers of the State. Before he had been on the stand any length of time according to the verbatim testimony published, he admitted that his State VH not anxious for compulsory ed ucation for fear it might change the political complexion of the western section and, that if pressed, the cot ton manufacturers would resort to : corrupting government officials. No need for the muckrakers to return to North Carolina as long as native sons answer their purposes as well as Mr. Clark. WHAT A DIPLOMATIST.

The mem ory of a boy raised on a cotton farm where vthe cotton runs right up to the house and where there were no fruit trees and no strawberry patch and nothing but drudgery, must be a sad one. There is no wonder that boys raised under such conditions leave the farm as soon as they start to make their life career and go into something they think better than farming. . Let us improve on this. Let us make the South .-a land of fruits. Of course there are large sections in the South where apples cannot be grown with commercial profit, but there are few sections wbNere tbe summer and fall apples cannot be grown for family uss, and a surplus produced for drying or canning.

In their perplexity over the fertilizer situa tion, due to the impossibility of se curing potash quite a number of far mers in this section have already re sorted to tbe peculiar idea of using all the "red devil" lye obtainable obtainable, because of the potash contains; and already several thous and pounds have been disposed of here.

FARMERS WILL DO WITHOUT POTASH. Department of Agriculture Comes to Rescue With Formulas for Fertil izer. Kews and Observer. That farmers will not be able to purchase commercial potash at rea sonable prices for their crops this summer is practically a foregone con clusion. Heretofore, the supply has been coming almost exclusively from Germany. Since the beginning of the European war, this supply has been cut off. Before the outbreak of hostilities muriate of potash could be purchased from $40 to $50 per to'i. Today the price asked is anywhere between $450 and $500 per ton. At this rate farmers of North Carolina cannot hope to use it in their farm ing operations with profitable results. For those farmers who wish to use a complete fertilizer for corn and cotton, peanuts and tobacco and find those mixtures containing potash too high in price, formulas have been worked out by the State Department of Agriculture which are claimed by tbe experts of the department to give very satisfactory results. The form- lulas are especially recommended for 1.1 1- i, OA . i 'I mose sections oi me oiaie, me sou of whic) contains a quantity of in soluble potash like the Piedmont and Mountain section. Cotton seed meal and limestone r mnrl are two of the principal ingred ients of the formulas. Cotton seed meal, of course, is easily obtainable. In addition to supplying an essen tial plant food in itself, the lime will react with the insoluble potash, pros- phate and nitrogen of the soil and render a portion of these elements available for the growing crops. In deed, lime is now looked upon as a real fertilizer for all crops, and es pecially for those of the legume fam ily, such as the clovers, vetches, peas, beans, alfalfa and so on. The commissioner of agriculture will furnish limestone and marl to the farmers of the State at the low est possible cost, but they must get their orders in early to get them fill ed on time. Morality at $8 a Week. New York World. It has taken the Illinois Vice Com mission, presided over by a sensa tional Lieutenant Governor, two years and a half to reach the conclu sion that female virtue in that State involves a matter of about $8 a week. Unlike most inquisitions of the kind, this one finds the girls in domestic service are more subject to temptation than others, and to correct tbe evil it recommends not only the establish ment of a minimum wage but of "a definite social status" for all such workers. The pity is that problems of this nature are so often left to demago gues and faddists, reinforced . by dealers in political and social special ties that never yet have been found effective. Injustice in the matter of wages and treatment no doubt are at the root of a great deal of misery dui tne assumption that a sure cure for moral lapses is to be had in any stated stipend has nothing to tup- port It. A social and industrial problem well worth the attention of the State is the number of young women des titute of family, or frends who are attempting self-support.- Most work ing girls have homes, and their earn- mgs, wnetner large or small, con tribute to the support of the homes. Tbe clumsy hands of government can neither increase the ineome of sueh families materially nor enforce mo rality upon them. - In fact, such peo ple probably live as decently as a rule as the more favored persons, whose daughters the " Ilmois commission finds drinking and dancng in fash ionable restaurants. , ' It baa been 700 years since King John signed Magna Charted but hu manity does not appear to have im proved 700 years' worth on that im mortal document. - in tbe Adriatic, shows a torpedo Veribus Unitus, in an act on against - Weekly Cotton Letter. New Orleans. Jan. 23. Cotton lost $2 a bale at one stage of the trad- ing on this market last week, lowci values being tbe result of greatly in creased offerings due to pessimistic feeling over large stocks at ports and interior points, the small export movement, the Mexican situation and the threatened British blockade Much of the selling 'as set down to short account, but late in the week liquidation was forced on holders of long cotton, gossip of the market claiming that stop-loss orders had been reached on a large scale. To ward the close realizing of profits bj shorts was a sustaining influence and tbe net change was a loss of 17 points to a gam of 1 point. Steadying influences were a better realization that only a small crop was raised this past season, which private forecasts of extremely gmall ginnings returns between Jannary 1 and January 15 served to bring about and reports that old bookings of freight room would result in larger export of cotton at the end of Jan uary and during February. This week will open with the last of the regular semi-monthly reports on ginning from the census bureau. Low figures are expected probably not to exceed 110,000 for the period. Should the returns, be much larger than expected a bearish active mar ket should ensus because of reaction from tbe confidence felt in forecast? of last week. A report fully in keep ing with these forecasts, the lowest of which was 107,000 bales, would cause little excitement geeause of the generally accepted conclusion that this is an extremely small crop. The trade will watch closely for anything new in the restrictions the Allies are placing on shipping, be cause it is feared that further, hin drances to trade would, tend to shut off exports of cotton to a greater ex ent than ever. The Mexican situa tion also will be closely watched. CoL Tom Vanderford is Again a Happy Man. Washington, Jan. 22. Col.
