NEW CROPS
THREATENED
Car Shortage Prevents Ship
ments of Fertilizers
to the West
SEE DANGER
IN THE SITUATION
Manufacturers Urge Early
Cooperation with
Railroads

Chicago, Dec. l4.--The alarming freight
situation and the rapidly increasing
shortage OF freight cars threaten to cut
down next years crops and yields
through preventing farmers from secur-
ing their spring shipments of fertilizers,
seeds, lime and other supplies. Unless
they are convinced of the danger and set
about ordering such materials early,
short crops will result in even higher or
prohibitive prices for food products. To
combat the situation and present danger
the manufacturers comprising the Ma
tional Fertilizer association arc starting
campaign urging earlier ordering and
shipping of all spring supplies and the
use whenever possible of maximum ca
pacity cars The 100000 tons of fer
tilizer normally used each spring require
100000 ears. Ordinarily 80 per cent OF
shipments are made in six weeks period
each spring Early ordering may spread
shipments over three months period, en-
able railroads to use cars several times
and move shipments promptly.
Grave danger to next years crops, 1t
is asserted. can be averted by concen-
trated action and prompt cooperation
with the railroads
High prices Tor farm products last year
indicate greatly increased buying of all
supplies this spring.

guaranty which he had filed with the de-
partment covered the products on which
the number was used. After this meth
cd had been in operation for some time
it was found that the guaranty legend
on the label was misleading to the pub
lie. 1t was incorrectly assumed by con-
sumers generally and some retail dealers
that the guaranty le1nd on the label
meant that a sample of the product had
been examined by the Z. 5. department
of agriculture and that in effect the L, ).
department of agriculture actually guar
anteed the product.
Object of the Guaranty.
The food and drugs act provides that
no dealer shall be prosecuted under the
provisions of that act when he can estab
lish guaranty signed by the whole
saler, iobber. manufacturer or other
party residing in the United States, from
whom he purchases articles of food and
drugs. The guaranty should be to the
effect that the foods and drugs to which
it applies are not adulterated or mis-
branded within the meaning of the act.
The object of this provision is to make
the manufacturer or wholesaler or person
who knows the composition of the food
and drug products responsible for their
compliance with the provisions of the
law. In many cases dealer does not
know the composition of the products he
sells, and cannot afford the expense OF
having an analysis made in order TO de-
termine it for himself. A provision,
therefore, was inserted in the law to the
effect that if the dealer secured guar
anty from the manufacturer or whole
saler or other person from whom he pur-
chases, the party making the guaranty
would be responsible under the law. and
the dealer would be relieved of response
bility. The dealer should see that all his
foods and drugs which have entered in
terstate commerce. or which he expects
to ship in interstate or foreign commerce
or to sell in the District of Columbia or
the territories, are guaranteed to him in
the manner outlined. The guaranty was
never intended to be. and never has been,
in any sense a guaranty by the depart
ment of agriculture.
