Rate OueStiOn-ThinkS difference
Should Be Settled by Conference.
Goldsboro, N. c., March 1.-Presi-
dent Finley, Of the Southern Railway
Company, who was one OF the speak
ers at banquet given last evening
by the Goldsboro Chamber of Com
merce, spoke on THE State Of North
Carolina" with special reference to
the relations Of the Southern Rail-
way Company to the State and what
the management of that Company is
endeavoring to do for the State.
Mr.. Finley said that he proposed
to speak in the profound conviction
that the interests of the State will
best be promoted by policies that are
best for the interests of the people
and for the interests of the railways.
He said:
"A great deal has recently been
said on the subject of the Virginia
cities rates from the West. 1t Is
most important to have a clear un-
Outstanding regarding the conditions
that have led to the establishment
of the Virginia cities rates. shall
refer to this matter only so far as
may be necessary to make clear the
responsibility for the establishment
OF those rates.
The fact that some of the lines
operating through North Carolina
have competed for the Virginia cities
business at the rates established by
these other companies. but at mar
gin of profit at which they could not
afford to carry ell Of their business,
does not, in any way, make them re-
sponsible for the Virginia cities rates.
1T is now we'll known, however,
that conferences have been in prog
ress between representatives. OF the
State of North Carolina and the rail-
ways in an effort to reach an under
standing on questions as to the eff
feet of the Virginia cities rates on
points in North Carolina. The rail-
ways, in Difference to the sentiment
of the people of the State on the sub
ject and not because they consider
the carrying of such business at pres
emit tariff rates economically un-
sound, have offered. in connection
with a proposed adjustment, now in
process of being worked out between
the State and the railways, to with
drew from the business from the
West to the Virginia cities through
North Carolina. 1t 10 also proposed
that the effect of the Virginia cities
rates on points in North Carolina
shall be considered in conference in
an effort to reach an agreement as
to reasonable adjustments which
may be put into effect through an or
der of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. I will not burden you this
evening with other features of the
conferences between the State and
the railways. 1t In nay most earnest
hope that the negotiations. thus en-
tered upon, may result in removing
every ground of controversy between
the people OF North Carolina and the
railways on this subject.
ut would, l believe, be most I'M
fortunate il the people of any State
and the railways, which are SO i'm
portant to their progress and devel-
opment, should become involved in
controversy on questions of railway

water. Plants require a moist soil
but cannot grow in a saturated soil
where roots come in contact with
standing water below the water table.
RANTS obtain their moisture almost
entirely from capillary water, that is.
the water which is held in the small
openings between soil grains as oil in
WICK. Since capillary water is only
available in the unsaturated soil above
the water table, drainage, by lowering
the water table, makes room for more
capillary water, thus increasing the
supply of water available to plant
roots, and making possible the storage
OF large quantities of moisture during
a wet season against the time of
droughts. With drainage comes also
the more favorable condition for the
formation Of mulches and consequent
prevention of waste of moisture by
surface evaporation.
BY the downward percolation of
water toward the drains. the plant
food, CT the fine surface soil and the
manures, is carried downward to be-

WAYS OF SECURING NITROGEN
Very Costly Substance to Buy In ArtI-
fetal Fertilizer, Yet Most Soils
Need More of II.
(By l.. r NEEL.)

| (By L. r NEEL)
Their is lack of sufficient nitrogen
IN the average soil to supply all of
| the demands of a grain or grass crop.
sometimes this need is very great, so
that a good crop cannot be harvested
without supplying nitrogen artificial
ly. This element is very costly in a
commercial form, costing most farm
ers 20 cents pound or more. So that
fertilizer with only LES per cent Of
nitrogen is made much more expen-
s1ve by its presence. At 90 cents per
pound for the nitrogen the cost per
ton for this element would be $500
II 200 pounds of this mixed fertilizer
were used to the acre only 33 pounds
OF nitrogen would be applied. and this
at cost of not less than &C cents.
This small amount of the element un-
der consideration would only be
enough to start growth over the acre.
Nitrogen is a very costly substance
to buy in an artificial fertilizer. and
yet most soils need more Of it. For
tunately 1t can be secured without
buying it. All the plants belonging
to the order commonly known as
legumes can get their nitrogen power
from the air as OF the air Is nitro
gem, by the aid Of very small plants
or bacteria living on their roots. So
this class Of plants is independent of
the nitrogen in the soil II there is
plenty Of other plant food in the soil.
they will make a luxuriant growth
where nitrogen is deficient. This
nitrogen that the legumes draw from
the air is stored in root, stem, leaf and
seed. If the crop is allowed to decay
on the land or is fed to stock and the
manure returned, the nitrogen content
OF the soil will be increased and a bet
ter crop OF corn, wheat or grass can
be grown. So it is evident from this
that there is practical way of SUD-
plying the corn, cotton, tobacco and
hay with nitrogen without paying 20
cents per pound 70. it, And II should
be mentioned that nitrogen accumu.
lates In land in pasture or when shad-
ed by some crop, or by straw or
boards, etc. Both of these natural
ways of securing nitrogen are very
important. but 1t should not be
thought that the latter will be sufi-
cient without the former.
The legumes are the beans. peas,
,lovers. alfalfa, vetches, peanuts. beg.

TOBACCO IN CROP ROTATION
Recommendation Made as Result Of
Experiments Made at Virginia
Station-Grass Is Best.

The office Of experiment stations.
Department Of Agriculture, has re-
ceived a copy of a report from the
Virginia station of experiments made
in cooperation with the department
in connection with tobacco growing.
AS a result of the crop rotation
work the recommendation is made for
the following seven-year rotation: To-
bacco. wheat, grass. corn with GRIM
son clover as cover crop. cowpeas
and red clover. The rotation of crops
in the suncured tobacco district was
found necessary and profitable. In
connection with this rotation work II
was found that seeding grass alone In
August gave better results than seed
ing with small grain.
1t was also found that heavy ap-
plications of fertilizer were more
profitable than light applications. The
use of 1000 pounds of 3-S-3 fertilizer
per acre gave a profit of s40.29, while
1900 pounds of a home-mixed fer
tilizer gave a profit Of s112.17.
