Estimates Direct From
the Farmers.
POSSIBLY is PER CENT
Decrease in Southern States Twenty
Per Cent---More Fertilizer Eeing
Used On Truck and Other Crops,
and More 10 the Acre, Than
Ever Before.

Commissioner of Agriculture S. L.
Patterson was asked yesterday what
the fertilizer sales have been this year,
but said he was not yet ready to make
public the figures. The custom, it is
understood, is to publish about June
1st the amount of tags sold.
Charges have been made that in
many Southern States large quantities
of fertilizer tags have been purchased,
with the sole view Of creating the inn
preston that there has been a heavy
increase in the sale and consumption
of fertilizers, the object being to de-
press the cotton market
While such a thing would be pos
sible in North Carolina Commissioner
Patterson said yesterday that it was
not being practiced in this State and
that the trade in fertilizer tags has
been perfectly regular, as it has al
ways been.
Nobody but d manufacturer or a
mixer of commercial fertilizers, whose
name and brands are duly registered
in accordance with law at the depart
ment of agriculture, can purchase in
spection tags in this State. In order
therefore, to purchase tags in North
Carolina With q view to swelling the
figures of fertilizers supposed to have
been used, it would be necessary for
some one or more manufacturers of
fertilizers to be in league with the cot
ton bears who are supposed to be do
ing this work 1t is hardly considered
likely that any fertilizer manufactures
would take the chances of being
caught, and thus, OF course, losing his
trade with the farmers.
North Carolina does exchange ferti-
lizer tags which are unused from De-
cember to January 18th, provided
those returned are in proper pro-
portion to those purchased. 1t has al
ways been the custom of manufactur-
ers therefore, to purchase only such
an amount of tags as they think they
will needd uring the season. 1t some
times happens of course, that some
manufacturers have tags left over at
the end of the season.
Mr.. Smith, of South Carolina, shows
conclusively that South Carolina will
not use by long sight as much guano
as last year Under a recent law 40, 0OC
tons of cotton seed meal are now
tagged that was not tagged last year,
and South Carolina redeemed every
tag on hand i'm hard cash at the end
of the season. So tags don't show the
way the wind blows to the bears.
Hon. j. Rice Smith, president of the
Virginia Carolina Chemical Company,
q few DAYS ago stated that while they
had sold probably as much guano as
last year the large part was for truck
ers and top dressing for wheat and
oats, and that they had not sold 20
per cent as much cotton fertilizers as
last season.

Decreased Sales.

Although no definite information as
10 the amount oil fertilizer sales thus
year was given out Dy the Department
of Agriculture yesterday. information
received from every part of the State
indicates a decrease in sales of fertill-
ger and it can be authoritatiVely stated
without doubt as to its accuracy, that
there has been a considerable rcduc-
ton i'm the use of fertilizers. 1t is be-
lieve9 that it will be seen that the
figures representing the purchase of
fertilizers in North Carolina Will show
between twelve and fifteen per cent
less than last year, and furthermore,
the purchase of tags for truck and
other crops Is represented to be much
larger than ever before, which also
indicates that the purchase OF fertih-
zers by cotton farmers has decreased
to a very considerable extent.
All farmers understand that q big
cotton crop this year spells ruin. and
although by the purchase of
tags it Is evidenced that the
decrease in North Carolina in
the use of fertilizer is not as
large as in other Southern States, it is
not indicative that the rule will OBJ
tain as to the cotton crop, as the fer
tilizer bought is not all being put on
cotton acreage. the farmers
are using twice as much fertilizer on
one acre as heretofore and besides,
larger quantities are being used on
other crops.
1t appears that the per cent of re-
duction in fertilizer usage in this State
is not as large as in other Southern
States, as in them the amount sold is
less by 20 per cent, but the per cent in
this State used exclusively on cotton
may be even less than in other South
ern States.
The season for fertilizer sales is
drawing to n close, the last purchases
being made between May 1st and 18th.
The Department of Agriculture usually
makes it's report of sales to the Agri-
cultural Board about June 1st, when
the exact figures will be known, un-
less the Commissioner makes them
know before that time.

quent meals from which most of the things
appearing in the ordinary bill of fare are
left out.
OF meats you must deny yourself heavy
dark flesh. Under this head is itemized
mutton, venison, goose and anything that
Is cut off pig. Devote yourself to chicken,
lamb game sweetbreads and the more deli
cate fish, when simply cooked and served
without rich sauces. Avoid Holsters and
every fried fish. but enjoy oysters and
clans.
OF vegetables never touch tomatoes, Gu
cumbers, and all salads that have vinegar
dressing, for an inadequate stomach is busy
manufacturing more acid than the system
can endure. Eat lightly of potatoes, dried
beans or peas, and raw onions, but Indulge
freely in green beans and carrots, turnips
and well-cooked greens. For all the starch
you need rice is the proper source of sup

worth all the bread and beans and potatoes
put together.
Strawberries, raw pears and raw apples
