Union Chamber Commerce
Elects Directors Will
Choose Officers Friday
Evening.

The Union Chamber of Commerce
held its annual meeting Monday even
ing in the rooms of the organization;
Jacob Cohen, president, presiding. The
meeting resulted in the election of
the board of directors for the ensu-
ing year, and there will hold meet
ing Friday evening for the purpose of
electing officers. To the old board,
except two vacancies, were reelected,
and the two vacancies were filled by
the election of l.. M. Jordan and Jno.
X. Hamblin.
Besides routine matters of business
the organization authorized its presi-
dent, j. Cohen, to write Senator E. D.
Smith in regard to the matter of pro-
curing supply of nitrate of soda.
Mr.. Cohen has written the following
letter to Senator Smith:
"Union, S. c., May 1, 1917.
"Hon. E. D. Smith,
"U. S. Senate,
Washington, D. c.
"Sir:
"Your idea of getting the farmers
an abundant supply of nitrates at
cheap prices is an excellent one, pro-
The liberal use of nitrate of soda on
the growing crops in this State will
increase the production of field crops
from 10 to 25 per cent. The farmers
have not used as much fertilizer this
year as usual because of the high
prices, therefore it is all the more
important to supply this deficiency
later on if the production is kept to
normal.
There will be some opposition to
the reduction of prices of nitrates
because of the loss that the brokers
and dealers who have supplies on hand
would suffer, but the government
could and should protect them by TAX
ing their supply over even if the gov
ernment had to pay more for it than
it would cost to get the supply from,
South America.
eff I understand the proposition, the
government is desirous of getting an
abundant food supply for the nation
and also as large surplus as posi-
bic to ship to it's allies, then since
the volume of production is more i'm
portant than the cheapness of produc-
tion get the farmers an abundant sup
ply of nitrates and have the govern
ment farm experts to supervise it's
application. The government can
make contracts with the farmers to
take their crops at certain prices to
pay for the supplies Of nitrates used.
This plan will insure the army plenty
of food and encourage the farmers to
greater efforts at production. Moth
ing helps crop of cotton or corn
through short drought so much as
an ample dressing of nitrate of soda.
AT the annual meeting of the Un-
ion Chamber of Commerce last even
ing your idea was discussed and the
body went on record as unanimously
approving your plans of getting the
farmers a cheap supply of nitrates
at reasonable prices.
eff possible your plan should be put
into operation and the nitrates ready
for distribution to the farmer not
later than six weeks from now, say the
middle of June. Some should be ready
for use on corn by the first of June.
"Yours truly,
"J.Cohen,
president Union Chamber of Com
merce."
The matter of the necessity for
the raising of food and feed stuffs
was also taken up, and committees
appointed to carry out the suggestions
of the Chamber of Commerce.

Now that there Is a demand for

the navy is about to expand, many of
the restrictions that prevented promo
tion on merit are being removed. The
navy recruiting officer az Salem has
received instructions from Washington
that hereafter the time limit when pet
tv officers must serve before promo
tion, has been waived. Hereafter, a re-
cruit or an officer will not be obliged
to serve certain number of years in

motions will be rapid not only for the
eommissined officers, but from those
who enlist and prove themselves TO be
worthy of advancement. The red tape

How To Treat the Soil
BY Carl vrooman


assistant Secretary of Agrieulture)
(Member National Emergency Food
Garden Commission)
Washington, April l2.-When the
back yard garden is ready for spading,
the first thing to do is examine the
lsoil--first its chemical condition, then
its planting condition. Soil Of the aver
age city back yard may not be very
good for the purpose of planting vege-
tables with view to cutting the cost
of living.
In the spring as soon as the soil has
dried grasp handful of il and if it
will slowly fall apart it is in fit con-
dition to prepare for planting. Never
work clay or heavy soils while wet.
Soils which are naturally moist are
sour and as result are not in the best
condition for planting.
Whether sour or not II will be well
to test the soil. A piece of blue litmus
paper should be obtained from a drug
store. Take handful of the soil slight
ly moistened and place the paper on il.
The paper will turn red if the soil is
sour.
If this condition is shown it can be
corrected with little lime. Cover the
ground with a thin coat of air slaked
lime, which can be obtained at little
cost. Work this in well.
Clayey or stiff clay loan, where
severe freezing has occurred, will be in
much better condition if it has been
given good dressing of manure in the
| fall
Do not be too quick to get into the
garden work. Some of the overzealous
seize the first warm spell as the oppor'
tunity and work heavy clay soil before
| it is dry. They waste energy and do
harm to the soil, from which it will not
recover in long time.
Timehness is a big item in gardening
and the thing to do it to have every
thing ready when the right time comes
Fresh vegetables are very desirable
and those from the back yard garden
ARE not subject to exposure and trans
portation. Then, too, home grown prod
ucts are free from infection.
Another point is that many garder
products lose flavor between the timC
they leave the farm and reach the city
table. This is avoided in the homt
grown garden. 1t is not desirable tC
start things before danger Of lat'
frosts is over.
