Re-Assessment Ordinance
Is Legal and Valid
According to Mr. McNary

The ordinance for the re-assessing of
property as passed by the city council
Monday evening is legal, and will be
valid and sustained by the court, ac-
cording to the opinion of John H. Me,
Nary.
The following letter from Mr.. Nc,
Nary, addressed to Mayor Walter E.
Keyes, was read at the meeting of the
council last night:
"In compliance with your request
on behalf of the city of Salem for a
legal opinion as to the sufficiency of a
certain resolution passed by the COM
mon council of this city, declaring its
intention to re-assess the property ben-
efitted by the Improvement of a por-
tion of High street, and re-assessing
the same for the costs of such improve
ment and the notice of such assessment
and bill for an ordinance providing
for the collection of the amount due
on municipal liens upon real property
for street improvements
I'm my opinion, the above resolu
tion is complete and sets forth all the
essential matters to give the ely jur-
isdiction to proceed with the re-assess-
ment. The above mentioned notice is
sufficient.
'The ordinance substantially fol
lows the provisions of the state laws
providing the manner of enforcing the
collection of delinquent taxes. This
proceeding has been changed in so far
as necessary to make the same appli-
cable to the city charter and local con
ditions. This ordinance has been care
fully prepared by the city attorney of
this city, and in good form. | do not
deem it necessary to submit to the
honorable city council brief upon tho
legal points which the court may here
after be called upon to consider in ref
erence to the enforcement of this ordi-
nance. However, 1 am of the opinion
this ordinance, when passed, viii be
valid and sustained by the court.
Respectfully submitted,

WHAT CAUSED FOOD sAoRrAcE7

Herbert Hoover, U. S. Food Admin
istrator, says there have been two
principal reasons to account for the
present food shortage. First. the "un-
kindness of nature" including the late
spring, droughts, hurricanes, poor con-
ditions of rainfall, unexpected frosts
and periods of intense heat in sections
throughout the world.
Second, he gives reduced produc-
tivity Of the soil in Europe" Concern
ing this, Hoover says: This condi-
ton has been brought about by bad
management, unskilled work, and lack
of fertilizers; and these in turn can
be explained by the withdrawal of men
from farm and field to army and fac
tory, and the employment on the soil
Of overworked women, ulrskiiled ole
men and listless prisoner. Further
more the vicious submarine has sunk
boat after boat filled with nitrates
and fertilizers, conspiring to augment
the pauperization of the earth, 50 that
reduction in soil productivity was in
evitable."

proximately 10000 acres of corn, of

1t diminishes by this much the ability
of the farrner to utilize to advantage
his short supply of farm labor, to
grow sufficient crops, and at the same
time give up to military service the
Boys of the farm.
Domestic Pyrites Help.
But this doesn't mean that we shall
have no fertilizer. All over the coun-
try there are small domestic deposits
of pyrites. These can be and are be-
ing manufactured into sulphuric acid
for fertilizer use and it looks as
though there will be enough. But the
freight trade on these domestic pyrites
is higher than that of Spanish pyrites,
and the quality often lower. The cost
of labor in mining is always higher,
and the cost of handling greater.
These facts mean inevitably an In
crease in the cost of acid phosphate
and complete fertilizer Fortunately,

WHY FERTILIZER PRICES
HAVE ADVANCED.

Cannon and crops use the same
food. Six hundred thousand tons
of nitrates went to make explosives
last year, in the United States
alone.
Sulphuric acid necessary for the
manufacture Of acid phosphate is
normally made from Spanish sui
phur ores. Submarines have now
almost entirely cut off this supply.
Birthstone, used as substitute
source of sulphur, must be trans
ported by rail at great expense
from louisiana and Texas, since
the government has found 1t reces-
sary to commander sulphur carry
ing boats.
Large quantities of phosphate
rock from Florida and Tennessee.
must now go by rail at high freight
rates. Uncle Sam needs the boats.
Higher labor, machinery, coal
and supply costs have caused gen
eral advance in all raw materials,
varying from 25 to 100 per cent.
Burlap bags which normally cost
10 cents each, now cost 25 cents and
are scarce at that.
Labor which was plentiful in
1914 at $500 per day is now almost
unobtainable at $3.50 per day.
There can be but one answer to,
conditions such as these; namely,
high-priced fertilizers.

A bushei of corn will buy more fer.

tilizer now than it would in 1914.
Every purchase must be considered on
the basis of relative values rather
than dollar values
The high quotations for spring fer
tiliGers have caused Asnany fs-spS TO
ask whether it will he possible to use
fertilizers at a profit next season. The
answer to this question may be sound
by a comparison of the relative pur-
chasing power of crops before the war
and at the present time.
In 1914 the usual corn fertilizer cost
$21 per ton. Today the same fertilizer
costs around $32 per ton-an increase
of so per cent. In 1914 corn was
worth about 60 cents per bushelptak-
ing the country over. Today it sells at
not less than $3.50 per bushel,. on the
farm-more than 100 per cent increase.
The same calculation could be made
for wheat, potatoes, or almost any
other crop Excepting in the case of
those fertilizers containing potash.
Each individual farmer has merely
to consider whether fertilizers paid
before the war; if so they will pay
even better now.

The grip Of the scourge of the seas
is now, after months of warfare, felt
by the American farmer. When the
Lusitania went down the whole world
eshivered with horror--h0rrOr at the
very savagery Of the deed, yet few of
us realized at the time that within a
comparatively short time the entire
world would, In one way or another, be
at the mercy of these newest and most
savage of all implements of war Least
of all did the American farmer realize
that the submarine menace would have
any effect whatever on his ability to
raise crops and do his bit in the line
of food production.
But it has! The war itself in it's
earliest day cut off supplies of potash.
Now the submarine warfare has re-
duced the supply of Spanish pyrites
from which sulphuric acid is made.
This E''phuric acid is used in the
manufacture of acid phosphate, and
also In the making Of complete fer

than ever to use high-grade rather than

Pyrites Carried at Low Rates.
These Spanish pyrites are usually
shipped from the port of Huelva on
the southwest coast of Spain, this side
of the Gibraltar Gateway. Mediter-
ranean freighters returning from Eu-
rope take on these pyrites at very low
freight rates. even almost as ballast.
From Huelva the pyrites are carried
to Charleston, to Savannah, to Nor
folk, to Baltimore, and points north.
At these places the pyrites are burned,
the sulphur separated and turned into
sulphuric acid. Later on, ton for ton
this acid is mixed with rock phosphate,
and in this way the acid phosphate Of
commerce is produced. In other fac
tories this acid phosphate is mixed
with the blood, bone and tankage of
great slaughter houses, and with other
materials carrying nitrogen, for the
on which depends the production of a
sufficient supply or FOOD crops.
Some Of these Mediterranean
freighters have been Communicated
by the government, others have been
sent down by the dreaded submarine.
and still others are tied up in neutral
ports all over the world.
Conditions Are Serious.
Few farmers realize the serious ma
ture of the case. Perhaps the aver
age boat in this trade will carry four
thousand tons of pyrites Every ton
of pyrites will make In the neighbor-
hood of four tons of acid phosphate,
OF up to eight tons of complete fer
tilizer. Every four thousand ton boat
taken from the pyrites carrying trade
means loss of the acid for the fer
