FARMERS URGED
TO SHOP EARLY
Nation-W Campaign to Pro-
mote Earlier Buying of
Supplies.
CAR SHORTAGE THE REASON
Contested Condition of Railroads
Urged as Reason Why Farmers
Should Purchase Supplies in
Time for Spring Planting.

New YOrk.-A nationwide campaign
to promote earlier buying and ship
ping of fertilizers, seeds, lime, farm
machinery and other supplies and ma
terials for spring use has been started
by the National Fertilizer association
here, in order that the goods may be
moved and delivered to the farmers in
time for use this spring. On account
of the congested condition and lack of
cars on the railroads, indications are
that unless earlier shipments than
usual are made the supplies will not be
delivered in time for use. Without the
necessary supplies, serious damage
would be caused by next years crops.
To Extend Shipping Season.
By calling attention to the serious
car shortage, it is hoped that the nor
NAL shipping season of six or eight
weeks may be extended over three
months, enabling the railroads to move
the plantfood, seeds, lime and other
Supplies before the spring planting sea-
son opens.
Shipping conditions have been grow
ing worse instead of better, according
to the announcement made by Presi-
dent Horace BOwker of the National
Fertilizer association. The car short
age on September was $4,000 freight
cars, he said. On October 1, the short
age had increased to 10000 cars, on
November 1 to 10000 cars and on De-
cember to approximately 10000 cars.
The usual practice of farmers has
been to delay ordering their spring
supplies for fertilizer until just before
the season opened. thus crowding ~
per cent of the shipments of fertilizer
for spring crops into a period of from
six weeks to two months.
Manufacturers declare that 1t will be
impossible for the railroads to move
/ the 100000 tons normally used each
spring, unless supplies are purchased
earlier than ever before.
Some of the Advantages.
Other advantages of early ordering
and shipping are that farmers are able
to haul the supplies to their farms be

a staff of rowing enthusiasts who made

committee on athletics to continue this
sport.
AS result OF the action on the part of
the city athletic solons, rowing will be here
to stay, perhaps for all time. The aglta-
ton was brought up In 1915, and at that
time it was decided that rowing was q
beneficial sport. 1t was again discussed in
1916 and this year the report went the
rounds that the death of rowing had been
sounded at the school athletic council last
month.
Immediately the advocates of the sport
came to the fore and In strong arguments,
backed by statements and facts succeeded
in retaining this competitive sport in the
schools. Philadelphia, therefore, will again
vie with New York and Boston for inter-
scholastic championship honors in the
American Henley regatta. 1t was a COM
mendable action and the schoolboys are
going to get the kind of support they need
to make rowing a lasting and successful
