CONSUMPTION OF FERTILIZER
IN FRANCE DIMINISHED.
Accounts for 10 Per Cent Decrease in
the Total Crops.

Paris. April THE consumption Of
fertilizers in France diminished !. $50 900
tons during the year 1s14-19l5 as COM
pared with the year lsl3-isl4, accord
ing TO statistics collected by the min
lister OF agriculture. This is taken as
accounting largely for the 10 per cent
decrease in the total crops in unin-
vaded regions Potash fertilizers. Of
which $4,000 tons were used in 1914
came from Germany. and the con-
sumption went down last year to 5000
tons The linseed mills of Southern
France, tempted by higher prices OBJ
tainable in Switzerland. Norway and
England. exported linseed oil cake in
preference to filling local contracts at
10 to u francs per cwt. France also
pilates during the last ten months OF
1915. while at the same time she i'm
ported 100000 tons OF nitrates as
against the average of 100000 tons. It
Is estimated that for the crops now
growing there have been used ISIS. 900
tons of fertilizer as against the usual
requirement Of $4,000 tons, resulting
in a situation that is rather alarming
since the soil Of France. productive as
IL is has absolute need Of fertilization.
Monsieur Jules Meline. minister OF
agriculture. has already assured the
fun operation Of the factories produc-
ing phosphates, and also has succeed
ed in bringing from Algeria raw ma
terials in sufficient quantities. There
still remain two great difficulties. the
eXactions OF dealers and the difficulty
Of transportation. Sulphate OF soda
has gone up eighty per cent. sulphate
OF ammonia 20 per cent. superphos-
pilates 125 per cent scoria from de-
phosphoration so per cent; nitrate of
soda, which comes from Chile. is
cheaper there than before the war. yet
IL has gone up in France from 80
francs per 100 kilOs in July 1915, to "a
francs at the present time Linseed
oil refiners demand much higher prices
for oil cake. but the government has
interviewed and required them to MI
all their contracts in France at the
contract prices before filing export
orders at higher prices. IN 4 debate
on this subject In the chamber OF dep
uties. II was proposed to authorize
the minister OF agriculture 10 make a
complete census of all stocks on hand
Of fertilizers ready for use and OF all
| materials that enter into their COM
position, and to requisition them for
| the benefit of agriculture IN case II
becomes necessary.

There is a well-defined split in the
former united Jewish congregation in
Westerly, and, as a result there is
feeling almost bordering on hatred
among some of the members of both
factions, and this is especially the case
between Charles Goldberg and Louis
Deutch, as was indicated in the testi-
mony given In the Third district court,
before Judge Oliver H. Williams, Fri
day. Deutch is of the faction that
holds the fort in the synagogue in
Canal street, which is also utilized as
Jewish school. Sunday, March s,
according to the evidence, Goldberg
went into the synagogue while the
school was in session, to get his pray
er shawl, a candlestick, which his IA
ther-in-law had presented the syna-
gogue, and some books he claims he
paid for to be used by his son, who
attended the school before the break
in the congregation. Goldberg gath
cred in these articles and was about
to leave the synagogue with them
when he was intercepted by Deutch,
ard informed that he had no right to
remove them, and would not be per-
mitted to take them away. According
TO Goldberg this interception took
place just after Deutch had fastened
the door, but Deutch denied fastening
the door. Then, according to Deutch,
Goldberg dropped the books, the pray
er shawl and the candlestick and then
mouth, forced him against a window,
breaking the glass, knocked him down
and struck him.
Goldberg told the court that Deutch.
after fastening the door, and challeng-
| ing his right to take his belongings,
struck the first blow, and that he then
struck Deutch. Goldberg said Deutch
came at him as If he thought he could
best him, but found he was mistaken.
| Goldberg told the court that never
in Gods world" did he apply vile
| epithet TO Deutch or declare that he
would kill him.
So far as the testimony divulged,
Deutch received a cut lip and bruised
| side, while the knuckles OF Goldberg's
| right hand were cut. Both sought
medical attention, and each was intent
/ on having the other fellow arrested,
\ making complaint by telephone. Deutch
| got his complaint in first and Gold
/ berg was arrested on the charge OF
| assault. He was released on bond and
| the case came to trial Friday. Gold
| berg was adjusted guilty and ordered
| to pay fine of $50 and costs. There
were representatives of both factions
| in court and one man who was of the
/ same faction with Goldberg, infringe1
I upon the courts dignity and respect
and was sharply reprimanded by Judge
| Williams.

IL Is an old game for the police off
GERS of Westerly to drive undesirable
persons over the river into Pawca-
tuck and vice versa The new day pa
trolman in Pawcatucl5 warned one
legged itinerant out of the village and
into Westerly and he was ordered back
without ceremony. This act was re-
peated several times when the
new Pawcatuck officer took the
matter up with Chief Of. Police
Tom Brown of Westerly, who asked
why the chief insisted on driving that
chap back into Pawcatuck. and in the
same breath insisted that such practice
must end. Then the chief gave the new
officer the tip, He said: I'm going
to drive that fellow right over into
provided he is able to walk the bridge;
you know that if YOU arrest him there
is a fat fee in 4 for you. but there's
no coin for us in an arrest in Wester-
", and il means expense to the town"
In short order thereafter PawCa-
tuck's new officer arrested the chap.
hailed him before the town court of
Stonington, and the unfortunate is
now in Jail at New London. The new
officer received a substantial recon-
pense in legal fees and the prisoner
has long Jail sentence to serve, the
fine and costs usually amounting to
about SIS for a case of intoxication in
Stonington.
Had this same fellow been arrested
on the same charge in Westerly, he
would be released upon payment of the
costs of $3.50, and II the fine was in
cluded the total would come to $3.50
If he could not settle. he would be re-
| leased on a promise to pay, and I. o
| Y. to the police chief. It costs the
| town of Westerly money to send q
prisoner 20 the Washington County jai
as the town must pay for his support
while confined. Not so in Stoningtor
| or any Connecticut town.
