COTTON WAREHOUSE PLAN
PROVES TO Be SUCCESSFUL
President Morgan Issues Statement
Oh Affairs OF Virginia Carolina

EFFECTS OF EUROPEAN WAR
Less Acreage OF Cotton This Year.
but Company Shows Well by Com
parisOn-Acids Bring Good Prices
on Account Restricted Imports.

In a statement issued bY S. T. Nor
gan. president Of the Virginia Carolina
Chemical Company, in the form of a
special report to the stockholders, at
tcntion is called to several interesting
points in connection with the company's
business and it's prospects for the i'm
mediate future.
In view Of the high prices prevail
ing for sulphuric acid on account of
the war In Europe, the company has
been able TO dispose of Some Of It's
surplus stock of this material at very
satisfactory prices. The action OF the
company in building suitable ware
houses in the cotton districts last fail
proved SO successful that additional
buildings will be erected this year.
II is pointed out that the Warehouses
are not only convenience for the
customers. but aid the company in get
ting cotton as collateral
The business of the fertilizer de-
partment fell off considerably because
OF the restricted cotton planting. hut
is "gratify!ngly large" the report says.
in comparison with the total consump-
ton OF fertilizers in the cotton-growins
states. The value OF fertilizers sold
during the year ending Juno 30 was
Sc per cent OF the total during the
preceding year.

OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS
HNOIlIiT OUT In HEPORI

Other important points brought out
IN the report are as follows:
The indications for the fall fertilizer
trade are very promising. The mcr-
chants and farmers are buying freely.
and the conditions in the trade are
good. What the outlook will be for
next spring we are unable to prophesy:
but with fair prices for cotton and
tobacco. we can see no reason for n
material decrease in the fertilizer con-
sumption, as ii has been most clearly
and cmphatically proven that the cot
ton and tobacco well fortified this
year are remarkably good. and that
that portion of the crop which has gone
on with little or no fertilizers, in
many Instances, is very Inferior: all
this giving the farmers a most posi-
tive demonstration OF the absolute ne
cessity of using fertilizers on their
crops
IL is gratifying to state that your
company is Keeping up its properties
III the usual thorough and efficient
manner, rs is evidenced by the cXpen-
diturc of sl.416.l25 for requirements
ana maintenance. az is shown in the
financial statement. While we manu-
factured less goods in the fertilizer
department than last year and the
previous year. the cost was less, show
efficiency in all departments.
