GUANO Due to the fact that
this State grows 67 per cent of
all flue-cured tobacco produced in
the nation and 48 per cent of all
tobacco grown in the U. S., North
Carolina uses one-sixth of all ferti
lizer sold in this country. .
In fact, farmers of this province
bought 1,511,822 tons of fertilizer
in the calendar year 1945. Figuring
that this fertilizer cost the farmer
an average of $33 per ton (tobacco
fertilizer would average around
$35, North Carolina agriculturists
spent $49,890,126, or right at $50,
000,000 for fertilizer in 1945.
That's a lot of money even for
you and me.
WEST In many states in the
Pacific Northwest less than 1,000
tons of fertilizer is used during
each year.
And in many of the agriculture
classes out there the instructors
keep three or four sample bags of
fertilizer just to show the students
Its composition and varied uses.
- You see, by the time those
Jlorthwestern states had been set
tled we knew a great deal more
about the soil than when we were
going wild on cotton here in the
South 100 years ago. Those farm
ers profited by our mistakes.
' It is only in recent years that
Southern farmers as a whole have
found it is necessary to put just a
little something back into the
ground now and then.
V. 2,000 If you think you use a lot
Of fertilizer, you should get in
touch with some Eastern North
Carolina tobacco farmers, some of
whom used 1,800-2,000 pounds to
the acre last year.
Agronomists will tell you with
out fear of refutation that the use
of fertilizer will give you a better
return on your investment under
proper circumstances than any
thing else.
CARRIER BOYS Dr. C. C. Crit
tenden, director of the State De
partment of Archives and History,
Is a paper boy these days. Flis
son, who delivers a Raleigh daily,
lias been ill with the flu (like most
everybody else, apparently), so Dr.
Crittenden has been singing the
Hews.
Also a newspaper boy now is
Howard Satterfield, professor at
State College and whose son is
sick.
The neighbors out on Park drive
have been getting good laughs from
watching these two "boys" nod
solemnly as they meet each other
on their respective routes.
221 DIVORCES Wake county
had 221 divorces during 1945 a
record and a gain of 19 over 1944.
But Wake still has quite a few
more marriages than divorces. Isn't
that fine.
It is an ironical and shameful
fact that in this country where we
talk of love all the time, sing
about it all the time, hear songs
about it on the radio every hour
of every day and night in the year,
read about it in the newspapers
and magazines and books all the
time, and see it in the movies every
day, we have more divorces from
lack of love than any other land on
earth.
last Thursday night. Anderson has
poise and self-assurance, and you
are going to hear more from him.
He threw several nice bouquets
at Agriculture Commissioner Kerr
Scottwho planning to run (or may
be already running) for re-election.
Scott, who is now planning to run
(or may be already running) for re
election. Scott and Anderson be
ecam fast friends at the annual
meeting of the National Association
of Commissioners of Agriculture
held in Memphis and at which
Scott was elected vice-president of
the association.
LT. GOV. L. Y. BALLENTINE
was in a class by himself at the
luncheon honoring Secretary An
derson last Friday. Dr. Clarence
Poe, who introduced the special
guests, said the hall was full of
farmers and politicians, adding that
Ballentine, however, was both
farmer and policitian. Stag does
mix the two rather well, and it is
hard to say at which he is better
although the latter label seems to
be going in the lead at this par
ticular time.
TIME MAGAZINE carried a Lin
colnesque picture of Governor
Gregg Cherry in last week's is
sue. The magazine, in alluding to
Cherry's commutation of 14-year-old
Negro Ernest Brooks' sentence
from death to life imprisonment,
quoted Cherry as saying: "The
crimes are revolting, but a part of
the blame . . . arises from the ne
glect of the state and society to
provide a better environment . .
Our public schools equipped with
capable teachers and an effective
compulsory-attendance law, would
do much to correct delinquency
among all races."
Brooks was convicted of break
ing into a Wilmington home and
raping a woman who was seven
months pregnant . . . rape and
burglary, both punishable by death.
Even Time makes mistakes. In
sending in the story to the mag,
C. A. Upchurch, Jr., of Raleigh,
told them plainly seven months.
They raised it to eight. And in
reporting Time's report, the Ra
leigh News and Observer said that
Brook had been convicted of mur
der and rape of the woman, who
now is still living in apparently
good health at her home in Wil
mington. Well, well.
AS YOU PROBABLY DON'T
KNOW, the rationing of paper is
over for magazines, and they are
going hog wild with their illustra
tions and features. The sex angle
is given the big play, in the wom
en's magazines particularly, and in
the current issue of Cosmopolitan
a n k d woman (hold on there!)
illustrates one of the stories, and
she's looking in one of these mir
ror contraptions so as to give you
a betterview.
THE FOLKS WHO HEARD AND
SAW AGRICULTURE SECRE
TARY CLINTON P. ANDERSON
IN RALEIGH LAST WEEK were
very much impressed with him.
He's a good speaker much better
than his boss, H. Truman, who
garbled his talk over the radio
SENATOR BAILEY, LOOKING
PALE AND WAN, was Introduced
at the luncheon honoring Anderson
as the Elder N. C. Senator and Sen
ator Hoey as the Youthful Senator.
Hoey is a little younger than
Bailey.
In reporting it, one of the dailies
which has never been very favor
able toward Senator Bailey inad
vertently had it this way: "Dr. Poe
introduced Senator Bailey as "Sen
ator Bailey." Immediately after,
he introduced North Carolina's
"useful junior senator," Clyde R.
Hoey.
You can imagine how this mis
take made Senator Bailey feel.
