The lesson Of ages, love and laugh
ter, and freedom of thought, action
and being, are involved in picture
play of the four greatest stories of
world history. This play is ''Intoler-
ance, a David Wark Griffith produc-
ton now showing at the Colonial
theater. It is truly the most wonder
full and spectacular silent drama of
thrills, laughter, adventure, love and
last but not least, suspense, that the
world has known.
The ''coming-out" party of ''Intol-
erance" took place Tuesday night,
and judging from the way. the initial
audience took it, the production is in
for good.
The theme of the play is told in
four plain little stories which stretch
back from the present time over cen
turies-back to Jerusalem q A. D.,
to France in the times of Catherine
de Medici, 1872 A. D., and to Baby
Ion, 500 B. C.
The modern. story shows how it is
possible for men and women pretend
ing philanthropy to really work in
jury and misery to their fellows. The
chief figures, The Boy (Robert Har-
ROM and The Dear One (Iae Marsh)
are drawn into the maelstrom/ Of a
great strike.
The strike is the result of cut in
wages. The millionaire employer
orders this cut in order to furnish
funds to a sO-caIIed reform organiza-
ton. A Committee of Seventeen"
(which looks very much like a clever
take-off on Chicago's famous Com
mittee of Fifteen) gets it's hands on
the wage-cut money and does more
harm than good for humanity, which
is so often the case with reformers
and the charitable organizations.
The Boy, The Dear One, and The
Friendless. One, go to the city, as a
result of the strike. The Boy is led

MINIMUM LOAN PRICE
IL CENTS ON COTTON.

Henry \. Pope, president Of the
Farmer 5 Union President 5 As
ISOLATION. has submitted to all
southern members of Congress the
suggestion that Congress fix or
empow he federal reserve board
to fix a minimum loan price of
u cents per pound on cotton for
all crops A large majority OF
the replies from Senators and
Representatives favor the PLAN
and Mr.. Pope stated that he
would call a special meeting of
his association in New Orleans at
an early date to give it final con
sideration and work out the de
tails.
President Pope states that there
should be a careful distinction be-
tween the loan minimum and
the selling minimum OF cotton.
The loan minimum should be
protected by the government,
he said, land cotton would, of
course, never be sold below that
point. The selling minimum Is
one that the union advises Its
members to sell, and may vary
from crop to crop or from time
to time With a protection loan
minimum of II cents the selling
minimum of % cents can be easily
obtained. The government would
never be called upon to put up
one cent under this plan, for
when farmer knows he can
borrow - cents per pound on
cotton he VIII never sell unless
he can get a much higher price.
Neither could the consumer be
penalized for the fluctuations IN
the price of cotton, has little eff
feet upon the price of the fin
iShed product to the consumer.
We expect to mature our plans
at our meeting at New Orleans,
and it is likely we will seek the
counsel and approval of the fed
eral reserve board before pre-
senting our plans to Congress.

SOIL FERTILITY THE BASIS
North Carolina Yields Greater Than
Virgin Land of Texas.

Is virgin land more profitable than
soil that has been intensively cult
waited for over a century? A compari-
son Of yields In Texas and North Care
lima shows that when attention is civ.
en- TO the maintaining of soft fertility
the question Of decreasing yields does
not trouble. The older land Ia In
creased rather than decreased in its
productivity. Teocax averages 5109
pounds of cotton per acre and North
Carolina averages S142 pounds per
acre although North Carolina has
been intensively cultivated for over a
century.
Farmers OF Maryland, Delaware and
Virginia who have been maintaining
fertility through manares and fertil-
izers are getting greater yields at low
er cost per unit than farmers of the
Middle West, who have been using
soil that but few years ago was vir-
gin land. With the fertility methods
which are becoming increasingly pop
ular throughout these states, the farm
ers are becoming more prosperous and
their soils are increasingly productive,

CONDUCTS CORN EXPERIMENTS
Virginia Farmer increases Yield Over
10 Per Cent. In One Season.

Conducting experiments TO deter
mine the value of different applica-
tions OF fertilizer on corn, r. F. Hol-
berton, Of "Rocklands Farm" In Or
ange County. Va, increased the yield
over 10 per cent and increased the
net profits per acre $3.50. through the
use of 800 pounds Of high grade fertil-
izer per acre. He had been using 500
pounds per acre and had been getting
70 bushels per acre, With the heavier
application, he made 90 and one-half
bushels per acre from a two-aore plot
In every other detail his methods were
the same as with the smaller applica-
ton of fertilizer.
Figuring % and one-half bushels of
corn per acre increase, at 70 cents per
bushel the gross gain per acre was
s15.75, The cost OF the fertilizer
amounted to s572 per acre and the
cost of application amounted TO $3.50
per acre. Mr.. Holberton explains that
the corn came up unevenly and that
transplanting did not help the field
much. The season was unusually dry.
and Mr.. Holberton claims that under
normal conditions his yield would have
been over 100 bushels per acre.

INDIANS USED FISH
TO BUILD UP SOILS
EARLY SETTLERS IN VIRGINIA
TAUGHT LESSON IN BETTER
FARMING IN 1882 BY NATIVES.

The Indians were the first farmers In
America. Investigations Of their meth
DDS show that they understood the
value of applying fertilizer in growing
corn. The words "menhadcn' ana
"poghaden" meant fertilizer, according
to Professor Trumbull, an authority on
Indian life. In Virginia, in 1882, Thorn
as Morton wrote: There is fish (by
some called shads, by some allizes)
that at the spring of the year passes
up the rivers to spawn in the PONDS
and are taken in such multitudes each
year in every river that hath q pond
at the end, that the inhabitants fer
tilize their land with them. You may
see in one township hundred acres
altogether that have been set with
these fish, each acre taking 1000 OF
them. An acre thus dressed will pro"
duce and yield as much corn as three
acres without fish"
In New England, an Indian, Squanto.
taught the Pilgrims how to raise corn
by fertilizing the land with fsh, caught
in early April. Governor Bradford. in
his History OF the Plymouth Colony"
says that Squanto taught the settlers
that except they got Ash and set the
old grounds with them, 1t would come
to nothing" SQuanto's teachings were
tried in 1921. and the following year,
another writer, George Mourt, re-
corded In his journal" that 20 acres
OF corn and six acres of barley, treated
as Squanto had taught. made an excel
lent yield.
