that stable n was the best

Alexander, who is the best authority
perhaps in the State, says this is SO.

about it? Are they going to
continue the Wasteful practice of
fertilizers or will they adopt better

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
IenOir News.

We have had occasion to say some
thing Of the waste to the rme in
the way they use commercial fertil-
izers in past issues of The News, but
the address of DIR. Alexander, Presi-
dent Of the Farmers Union, last
week brought the matter up again
forcefuliy. He made the statement
that $4,000, 600 were expended in
North Carolina annually for
c1al fertilizers and hat three fourt1s
of it was total loss either by inferior
quality or improper use. Just think
of that for a moment. The value of
three counties the size of Caldwell
actually lost every year to the farm
ers of the State on the matter of
commercial fertilizers alone. No
wonder many OF the farmers are
hard up and are not able to have
the common comforts of life. No
