SINGLE COPY 5 CENTS TAR HEEL FARMERS WILL SPEND BIG SUM FOR FERTILIZERS THIS YEAR Instead of Turning Under Le gume Crop Farmer Are Buying High Priced Com mercial Fertilizer. Will Spend 27 Million Dollars Thi Year. By John Paul Lucas. RALEIGH, May 2 North Caro lina will use this year probably 900,000 tone of fertilizer at a cost of approxi mately 27,000,000. That total is nearly three times tho value of Umt year's sweet potato crop in North Carolina; nearly four times the value of the peanut crop; wore than one-third the value of the tobacco crop; more than four times the value of the wheat crop; two-thirds the value of tho entire corn crop; nearly twice the value of the liny crop ; and more than 40 per cent of the value of tho cotton crop. Of the $27,000,000 which North Caro lina will spend this year for fertilizer, something like $1:51,500)00 will lie for nitrogen. Thin element, the most costly ingredient of fertilizer,! may be pro duced at home instead of being purchas ed if farmers will but diversify their crops and produce legumes, such as clov er, vetch, eow peas, velvet beans, soy beans and others. On a farm which products feed for its livstock, particularly where a consider ably number of cattle are kept, the production of ample legumes is so alto gether logical that it can hardly be avoided, ami of course, the legumes are returned to the soil in the form of manure. On farms where sufficient livestock are not kept to consume the quantity of legumes which should be grown in order to provide the nitrogen required for fertilizer, clover, velvet beans, eow peas or other legumes should be grown simply for gren manure to lie turned under purely for the benefit to be derived from the fertilizer elements and humus. It is rather difficult for a short sighted farmer to make up his mind to turn under a good growth of clover or any other legume. If he could see one, two, three or four years ahead it would not be so bard. Laud of com paratively low fertility frequently has its productivity doubled through the turning nuder of one legume crop. The farmers who are moving ahead most satisfactorily are those wh: not only study means of milking money, but menus of saving money, and a farmer who can, in the course of a few years, cut his fertilizer expenditures practical ly in half through the use of legumes is certainly saving money. He simply banks it in the soil where it can be drawn out through larger crop yields during succeeding years. This is a big step in "Living at Home" and in winning economic independence. At tho end of this year North t'nro liuu will have used more than .ri,0ii(i,0ini tons of fertilizer (hiring the past seven years at 'a cost of $I."ii,0!mi,oihi. in questionably it pays to use fertilizer, and .North Carolina fanners have gnt ten good results from the fertilizers they have Used, but it does not pay to expend ten, twelve or fifteen million dol lars a year for nitrogen which the farm er can himself draw from the air above his head through the growth of legumes. U. S. WILLING TO TALK ABOUT ITS WAR DEBTS Is Ready to Enter Into Nego tiations Looking Towards Conversion of Debts Into Long Term Securities. (By The Associated Press.) PA HIS, May 2.

May 2. Henry Ford's offer to develop the Covci nnient s nitrate and power projects at Muscle &hoals, Ala., was modified again today by W. B. Mayo, chief engineer for the iDctroit manufacturer. Announcement of the new change was made bt-fre the iscnatc Agriculture Com mittee, following the request of Chairman Norris, made at yesterday's hearing, that the language of the proposal clear ly state what prie-d power would be used in the manufacture of fertilizer. Senator XorrisT-ontended taht the cheap est power develoied at Muscle isloal should be used in making of fertilizers rxthcr than for manufacturing metals or automobile parts.

Le Friedman, said to have been one of the cleverest dice experts in the country, is dead by his own hand the hand that rolled "aeven" and "eleven" for nearly half a mo tion dollars in the last 20 years. Friedman cheated for the first time in his life, his friends say, when yes terday he beat the spectre of tuber culosis by shooting himself. He died penniless. A year ago he came back from Cuba with $20,000 he won in a few weeks, but he gave it away in a short time to youngsters in the streets from New York to San Francisco.

(Charlotte Observer, 2nd.) Captain Stephen B. Dolley, of Gas tonia, candidate l'jr the solocitorship in this district, delivered last night the commencement address at Hickory Grove schoolhousc. A large audience was present to hear him speak on "New Citizenship." After referring to Meck lenburg's historic past and the part that she had played in the development or patroitisin, not only in North Carolina, but also in the nation, he said in part : "I want to separate what 1 have to say into Inn general divisions: First, wiiat citizenship means to you, and see ond, what you mean to citizenship. Primarily, we must agree upon the fun damentals of citizenship and I believe that you will not oppose me when 1 say that in order for citizenship to gain its greatest development, it must lie founded upon three elemental passions love of (iod, hue of home, and love of country. Without the best co-ordinate develop ment of these three, no matter what else may enter into it, a patriot in its highest sense cannot be made. 1 will liken our history to four stages of development. That period from 177b to I"!' 1 will denominate the lirst stage; the period from 17S) to IMiO, the second stage; the period from lHtiO to l!H7 the third stage; and the period from 1!U7 10 the future, the fourth stage." He then showed how the three passions had fluctuated in these four periods. "The history of the old world is stain ed with bloodshed ami darkened by a menacing cloud of diplomacy and intri gue, its glories lay in its successes in arms or at the council chamber, an. I on-e those victories were lost, naught remain ed but the ashes of the past. Selfishness was the king nnd once dethroned, his kingdom was destroyed. Thank God for the clean soul of America. No war of conquest has ever inspired an American soldier. No deed of hatred, no false ambition of diplo macy, lias ever taken or added a star tft America's flag, and in I!M7, as if by n magician's wand, followng the leader fhip of the great southerner. who became the immortal leader of America, even the o'd world, followed Woodrow Wilson to, a height of idealism an. I plcged its souls upon the altar of right. ' ' Captain Dolley, in closing, appealed to the students to make their love of coun try. I'ot a passive, but a vital force in their being, and with that spirit of their forefathers, to take a stand for kid -Inn tic forces in the state and nation.

(By The Associated Press.) LAWTON, Okla., Mav 2. The Law- ton Presbyterian church controversy go outside the confines of tho church t, day. County authorities took a liai: A civil court inquiry was under yfay directed by Fletcher Ifiley, county at torney, wlio announced he would g the bottom of the whole dissensio an effort to determine the identit. three men who last Saturday night ducted the pastor, the Uev. ThomasJ. Irwin, and threw him in a ditch side a road outside Lawton, half co scious and securely tied and gaggeil. Filing of criminal charges, he said, would depend upon the outcome of the investigation . The county attorney started about his inquiry today by preparing subpoenaes for about 110 persons who had been suspended from Pastor Irwin's church. They were ousted by the church Mis sion or executive board, with the sanc tion of Mr. Irwin, and have been al igned against the minister in the move ment to have him expelled from the Lawton pulpit on formal charges drawn up by the governing Kl Keno I'resby terv . Attorney members would In duction of cated that Ifihy said all the susieiided ;iml auti Irwin factiouists interrogated about the ab the pastor and it was iudi- eaeh would be asked to ex- ; plain his whereabouts on the night the alleged kidnapping took place. j Pastor Irwin and three members of i the church session were called in last 1 1 i if tit and iiuestioiied at length when , jtlrt- county attorney decided to eon i vene the iiiiiuiry court . Their testimony was kept secret and i it was not known whether Mr. Irwin gave anv clue to the identity of his ! ., ,..!.. II., I,.IU ...il.li.K- et.,f.l licit he did not recognize the three men. j .Speculation today centered upon whether Mr. Irwin would submit to trial before a commission appointed by j the Kl lieno presbytery on charges of i "conduct unbecoming a minister."! The trial is set for May !. The pastor asserted lie was going to carry bis case before the Oklahoma, Synod, and intimated he planned a strategical move. Mr. Irwin's mainstays in the dissen sion, which has been seething, in the congregation, for months, the members of the church session, resigned yester day after condemning the Presbytery for alleged 'persecution" of the pas tor. They announced tliey were still in the fight in support of the minister and that their withdrawal from the church and the Presbytery did not mean they hail folded their tents. With new turn of events, observers of the fray interpreted the predicted strategy was possibly a refusal by the pastor to admit I lie state synod author it y . Hi-course to the civil courts, where the pastor already bus obtai I an injunction to prevent interference with his church, also was considered as ri choice of tattle and another lay in following the course of tie executive hoard in resinning, but still sticking by his guns on the Lawton battle ground. All this, however, was in the nature of in, official speculation before tin- agreements. A marriage bond tied by the past or at a bathing pool; church movie exhi , bilious, and remarks made by the pus- tor in his funeral sermon a year ago over the body of the late .lake L . Hamoii are sonic of the seed from which the dissension grew. ROGER EASTLAKE CONTINUES HIS TESTIMONY TODAY. (By The Associated Press. ) MONTIJOSS, Va.. May 2. linger D.

New:) was received in Gastonia today Bhortly after noon that the Shelby high school baseball author ities had protested the playing of Skidmore, the star first baseman of the Mt. Holly team on the ground that he received money for playing with the Shelby team last summer managed by Dick Gurley. It was reported here that Skidmore was ineligible to play against Shelby, or rather that Shelby refused to play Mt. Holly if Skidmore played. Hearing this, local school officials promptly protested the game play ed yesterday between Gastonia and Mt. Holly which was won by Mt. Holly 4 to 0. What the outcome of the controversy will be is of course undecided. Supt. Earl Thompson, of the Mt. Holly schools, has been in Shelby all day in con ference with the Shelby authorities, and will return by way of Gastonia, to confer with Gastonia authorities., It is the ruling at Chapel Hill that any team playing an ineligible play er in a game loses that game by default. Supt. Grier states, bow ever, that he is willing to play Mt. Holly a second game minus the services of Skidmore. Where the game tomorrow between Shelby and Mt. Holly was to be played was still undecided at 3 o'clock this afternoon . MISSISSIPPI RIVER CONTINUES TO FALL NKW OH LEAN'S. May 2.
