SUIT AGAINST STATE.
New Hampshire May Sue to Re.

There is considerable interest
in the story going the rounds that
Attorney General Tuttbe, Of New
Hampshire, is planning to bring suit
against the State of South Carolina
for the recovery of $4,000 in bonds
held by New Hampshire and alleged
to have been defaulted by the Palmet-
to State. Mr.. Tuttle has gone to Col
umbia with Attorney General Peoples
and this in itself gives weight to the
story. 1t is recalled that some time
ago North Carolina was called upon
to make good bonds repudiated, suit
being brought by another state.
The following story from Concord
n. H., has been sent out concerning
Attorney General Tuttle's plan:
Acting under authority Of the
Legislature, Attorney General Tut
tie has gone to Charleston and Col
umbia. S. c., to institute proceedings
for the collection of $31, 900 of South
Coralina bonds, which. it is claimed
were defaulted by that State many
years ago. The bonds came into the

which Is a great absOrbant and would
take up and retain all escapine, passes
and yield them to the crop. II does
not cost much and should be kent on
every farm.
The farmer will of course have to
be very careful in the choice of his
| ingredients He must consider his
soil, first thing. He will find that
every soil needs potash, whether
sandy or clay. I know that some
writer's claim that clay sands or clay
loans do not need potash, as they
have a plenty. 1 know they do con-
tain it. but it is locked up in insolu-
able compounds and not available to
the growing crops, especially as rap
idly and at the time needed most

| ally on such lands. (Perhaps lime

plants tack up potash much more
rapidly than they do nitrogen or phos-
phoric acid, and if you will burn the
leaves steams and fruit of nearly all
of the ash, you will find the chief in
gredient to be potash. This process
of analysis is the best way to deter
mine what ingredient a plant most
needs. to insure a large growth and
yield.
Nitrogen is a stimulant and makes
heavy growth and need not be ap-
piled in large quantities to any soil
at planting, or it can be ap-
piled any time that it is needed to
the growing crops. Most sands are
supplied with phosphoric acid; it de-
ficient, this, and also potash, can be
applied with safety, without fear of
loss by teaching or evaporation the
fall before.
Now 1 want the reader to bear in
mind that do not mean to assert that
a formula can be made that would
prove a success for each crop and for
all crops on a given piece of land un-
der all conditions. And also to bear
in mind when 1 allude to manufac-

not mean to say that there are no
good prepared or manufactured fer

In conclusion 1 will say that this
article is open for criticism and I de-
sire it, 1t may have it's weak points.
but 1 know every word is the truth as
1 see it, but we are all liable to err,
and a friendly criticism pointing out
these, will be of inestimable service

A WARNING SOUNDED.
President Barrett Talks Of Dangers
of Allowing Foreigners TO Own
Land.

To Officers and Members OF the
Union:
In previous utterances I have had
something to say about alien or for
eigr ownership of our farm lands,
particularly OF lands In the South
adaptable to cotton.
have said that II was an alarming
development. and some people have
pooh-poohed such narrowness OF
views and. at any rate, 1t wasn't
very bad. and only few English or
French spinners were experimenting!
That In what 1 got for sounding an
alarm. which 1 believed then formed
serious menace. and which now ]
am absolutely sure Is the case.
Now. listen. you scoffers and un-
believers. Do you know that between
twelve and thirteen million acres of
the finest cotton lands In the South
are owned outright by foreign in
dividuais and corporations? Do you
know that agents OF these foreign in
dividuais and corporations are con-
stantly working to get more
millions Of acres OF the cream OF cot
ton lands? Do you know that for
eign spinners are sending men here
to be educated I'm our agricultural
colleges and schools to take charge
OF these broad acres. cultivate and
raise cotton to ship to pinners
In England. France and other for
eign countries?
ID you think deep and sense what
this means? DO you know that II
means the actual production of cot
ton I'm the South on farms owned and
cultivated by foreigners. and whose
product will go direct to their mills in
England. France and other countries?
In plain words. we are sitting supine-
y by while foreign capital and cor
porations are taking our oldest rich
est and greatest heritage from under
our noses.
Time may not be far distant when
our own people. the men who have
raised and supplied the world with
Its cotton for generations. will be
restricted absolutely to the home
market. Sounds scary. and / want
IL to sound 80. for II Is time to get
scared a bit.
There Is. too. the other grave dan
ger In this new something we arc
called on now to face, that OF absorp-
ton OF our farm ands by foreign
ownership. Conditions are bad
enough In all conscience by constant
ly growing city and town ownership
OF farm lands. which are cultivated by
tenants OF not cultivated at all.
These things all tend further to de-
strOy our homecoming. home-mak-
ing type OF farmer. the backbone and
sinew and soul of our national life.
You people who have been preaching
and working and theorizing on a
''back-to-the-farm" movement. think
over these things a bit.
Here In the innerness OF things. and
II Is for wise and sane men TO solve
them. 1 ask national leaders. think
ers. men who really want To do some
thing. to ponder these things serious
