Every cent of your fertilizer dollar must give you the largeat possible return, especially in a year like thia. A complete, well-balanced fertilizer is always the beat. Meal and acid is not a well-balanced fertilizer. Your cropa need nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot aah—all three. Each helps the othera. See that each ton of your cotton fertilizer con tains 300 pounds of muriate of potash, or its equiva lent in high-grade kainit. Sweet potatoea— 6oo pounds. Corn-— 2OO pounds. Tobacco— 4oo pounds of sulphate of potash. -* w- - - JV. V.

Folks Won't Do It, Says Leading Farmer ♦ The reason folks in North Carolina will not build up their soils is that it is so easy to do, so simple, and so cheap. . Thii statement is attributed to Tom Purdie, successful Cumberland County farmer, who made the remark in lb meeting attended by Enos C. Blaid, extension agronomist at State College. Mr. Blair says this remind ed him of the Biblical story in which the prophet Elisha told Naatnan,. the )epcr, to bathe seven times in the River Jordan to cure his disease. Naa man wanted to do some and was with difficulty persuaded to accept the prophet's cure. "By the simple practice of growing a large amount of soybeans in his corn Mr. Purdie has built up his soil to the point where nitrogehous fertilizers do more harm than good," says Mr. Blair. f"Mr, Purdie makes over a bale of cotuvn to the acre without nitrogen fertilizer. The corn and soybean com bination ib planted on each field one year out bf every three, the field go ing to cotton in the other two years." Any farmer in North Carolina can start this plan this year, Mr. Blair suggests. All he needs is one bushel of soybeans, costing less than one dol lar. At the start, every soybean |ped should "be saved so that eight or ten" bushels may be had next year, and then enough later to plant in every field of corn on the place. Another way is to buy one bushel of lespedeza seed, costing two dollars, and sow this on an acre bf small grain this spring. l*'rom this small amount, five to ten bushels may be saved for [seed "next year: Mr. Blair says he realizes times arc hard, but there i» no farm&r who can not make this sim- in building up his soils to prepare for better days to come. SPRAYING COSTS LITTLE BUT IT IS OF IMPORTANCE a / 1 Thf cash outlay necessary for spray materials needed to' produce quality apples and peaches in the farmer-own ed orchards of North Carolina is com paratively little, yet, high quality fruit cannot he produced without spraying. > ''This is one of the most important orchard operations," says H. R. Nis wonger, extension horticulturist at State College. "The cash outlay for spray materials including gas and oil for the power machines has averaged about $3 an acre for apples and $1.50 an acri for peaches according to pro duction records kept by. a number of orchard men in 1031. Where it is necessary to hire outside labor, an additional cash outlay of about $5 an acre will be necessary. The apple orchards in which these production records were kept varied from 7 to 30 acres with about 50 trees to the acre. The mature trees were somewhat un dersized and ranged in age from 15 to 20 years. There were also some younger trees from 7. to 12 years old." The amount of dilute spray solur tion used in covering the orchard at one sprdying, averaged from 1 1-2 to 2 gallons a tree or about 75 to 100 gallons an orchard. The peach or chards studied by Mr. Niswonger were located in the upper piedmont region and varied in size from 5 to 12 acres each. The trees were from 4 to 6 years of age. There were 5 to 7 spray applictions for the apples and 4; to 5 for the peaches. quantities, but they should not entirely displace the animal protein, especially at this season of the year, whtn pro duction is heavy and the eggs are be ing used for hatching." Any radical change from the usual methods of feeding at this time is these three plant foods. However, it is desirable that one-half the nitro gen be from the quickly available in organic sources, such as nitrate of soda and the other half from the slow er acting organic sources such as cot tonseed meal. This help& to distri* bute the supply of nitrogen over a longer period. Apply these fertilisers at the rate of 10 pounds to each 100 square feet." ' When the grass is two to three inches high it should get its first cut ting with the mower blades slf high. Then the lawn should be mowed reg ularly thereafter as the grass reaches this height. It is unnecessary to re move the cut grass unless it has been allowed to grow too long or the weath er is extreniely wet. Constant watering will prevent the soil being aerated and thus suffocate or prevent healthy root development. Mr. Randall says the most common error is watering the lawn by merely sprink ling frequently. This frequent sprink ling causes the roots to grow near the surface, where they are injured by the hot lummer sun.

FARMER* SHOULD: BE MAN TO FIX PRICE TOBACCO Rev. J. M. Perry Describes Method of Bringing This About By Re7"j. M. PERRY In our first of this series of articles, "Making America Safe for the Toiler," we called attention to the inexcusabte and utterly indefensible policy of ex horbitant profits declared by the big corporations out of the pockets of the and discouraged farmers lof our country. , In the second, "Out of Slavery Into | Business," „we emphasized the place of primacy the farmer occupies in American economic life. Outside of the highly industrialized centers per haps fully 80 per cent of the people are dependent, directly or indirectly, upon the products of the farm. A recent article from Mr. C. M. Wilson, !in the New York Times and carried jby the Raleigh News and Observer, j declares Arkansas folks are going back ito the farms, and that 82 per cent of I the population draws Support ftpm I the farm. We showed that the present method of farm marketing, and espec ially that of tobacco, was obsolete, antiquated and unethical. In point ing the way out, we predicted it would take courage and cooperation, and was not the jvay of fear, cowardice, and slavery. • Now in this third, and in brief, we purpose to show how we can remedy the bad situation in which the farmer lias found himself enmeshed. In seek ing a remedy we are not only seeking help for the farmer, but for the rest of us, as well. When the farmer comes back, we shall' all profit, and general and universal prosperity will manifestly return. "Get the money where the money is" is quite current in some of our papers, but some one must rise up who is fearless enough to say in no unmistakable terms where the money is, and then go there for it, if we are to lift the ax burden from hi backs of the —better say, underpaid farmer, 1 instead of overtaxed farmer. So it is with the remedy for the tobacco farm er. He must take stock at once of his plight, his ability, and his re ' sources and act with fearlessness, cour age and daring. The remedy we propose is for the farmer to fix the price of leaf tobacco 1 between now and opening sales iit, 1932. Noy do not faint. It is highly necessary, 'thoroughly practical, and even indeed possible. Some will say he hasn't the money. ' What hasn't he the money? The wag who knows how to go home out of the s rain knows why. Some one else has t it who neither deserves it nor needs > it. We ask, when did the time come ) when the poor have no voice at the ■ council tables of the world, and no| ' consideiation in the economic assem t blies of our commonwealth and our i nation. Have we no one left with i enough sense of eternal justice to i plead the cause of the underprivileged I and iq}iominit>usly exploited masses ot mankind? Where are the Wash ingtons, Jeffersons, Lincolns, Bryans, r Wilsons, and other great champions of the plain people and their divine and constitutional rights? Some one else says the farmer can not do that—he hasn't the leaders. What college or university in America 1 that is not represented by a worthy 1 son of'the soil? They have the lead ' ership, the brains, the ability and now ; more than ever before the urge of the sense of unfair treatment. What ' more do they need? One more factor ' enters into the equasion and that is the ' willingness, the courage, and grim de -1 termination to trust one another and ' cooperate. The big companies make ' millions out of the farmers because they cooperate, and have calamity ! howlers going around telling the farm ' er he can not, and sowing the pay ■ chology of fear and inferiority com plex in the minds of the farmers of ' America. It is time to bestir our selves and quit ourselves like men. So ' here goes; 1. Each tobacco-growing state ap point a state committee of seven men " or persons, consisting of three farm ers, two warehousemen, one merchant ' r and one bankers. Each several coun ties and local markets to be similarly organized. " - ' 2. A central or interstate commis [ sion composed of one member from | each state committee, and a general ( chairman be appointed, whoae province t shall be the steering of the state com- the gathering of. information, the tentative price-fixing, and the high . est appeal for relief from the farmer, > the warehousemen, and the tobacco ; manufacturers. S - 3. In fixing the price of tobacco for t 1932, the central commission, in co t operation with state committee* shall, through expert help, review the range of tobacco prices for 5, 10, or IS years, and then fettle the price on a fair and equitable basil, with due regard and consideration for the farmer, the warehouseman, the manufacturer, and the public in genet al. 4. The prices ahall be fixed accord ing to grade, and that determined by experienced auctioneers, warehouse men, farmers, and expert graders, if possible. Grading will be relative and not absolute, but will be flexible enough to make possible the grouping of «a near like quality of tobacco and thereby save the annoyance of a mul tiplicity of minor shades and grades. 5. The commission in fixing the price shall seek to make possible the wise and orderly distribution of the millions of dollars among the farmers, warehousemen, and others that have heretofore made up the excess profits in the industry, but at the same time endeavor to provide for the profitable manufacturing side of the industry as well as the grower. 6. Tobacco corporations may seek redress through the commission, as well as warehousemen, farmers, and communities. 7.''Permit no more new barns to be built in five years?, provided the in dustry does not urgently demand a change. Old ones may be replaced, and those that burn may be rebuilt. 8. Fifty per cent of all tobacco of each and every farmer may be sold or offered for sale first. If the com panies desire it, another percentage mSy be offered and so on until the entire crop is sold. If there is any carry-over, all farmers fare alike. 9. The carry-over by farmers will regulite the succeeding year's crop. If 25 per cent is carried over or destroyed the crop will be cut 25 per cent the next ye^r. 10. That no tobacco be sold at auc tion under the old plan, but every pile of tobacco on the floor be graded, tagged and price marked plainly by expert graders, and in accordance with the price schedule set by the interstate commission. That the buyers be per mitted to buy as much of any given grade as their companies may direct. That much of the inferior tobacco be ruled as unfit for the market under the price-fixing commission. This to ap ply to the worthless, rotten, and un marketable grades. The above is only tentative, and may twT changed very materially, but it can be done. Now faint if you sire, but permit us to say it is far bet ter to faint in the attempt at some thing noble, constructive and daring than to faint from a weak stomach lat er on. DR. V. H.
