VIGOROUS FIGHT AGAINST
FIXING OF COTTON PRICE
Authority of Congress NeCeS-
Say for Action, Says
Smith, of South Carolina

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Senator
Smith, Of South Carolina, in a statemen:
today. declared that any attempts to fix
the price of cotton would meet with
strong opposition, and that the price
fixing committee of the war industries
board would have to have authority of
congress before it could take such ac-
ton.
The statement was brought forth by
an announcement of the National Cot
ton Manufacturers association that J:
met with the price-fxing committee this
week, which did not make clear whether
price fixing of cotton for government
or the public or both was discussed
Senator Smith quoted from letter from
Robert S. Brookings, chairman of the
committee, which said that nothing was
done at the meeting except to agree
that a committee of cotton manufac-
turers would notify the price-fxing com
mittee when they were ready to dis
cuss any of the problems which involved
the industry" The letter also said the
board has given most of it's attention
to fixing prices, both for the govern
ment and the public, such as copper,
steel. etc." and Senator Smith, in his
statement, declared the government has
no more right to fix the price of steel
and copper for the public than it has to
fix the price of raw cotton or manufac-
tured goods"
"All the right it has to say" said
Senator Smith, in his statement, us to
say what the government needs for the
government"

DO NOT WASTE COTTON SEED Tells
SPRING
JP S. Leverett, Ca, writes: / have
left about 100 bushels of cotton seed that l
wish to use five acres of land. have
exchanged about 500 bushels for meal ana
acid. / would like directions how to COM
most this seed with stable manure.
never sold any seed before. As farmer
have tried to put back on the soil every
thing ! could, and have succeeded In orlng-
ing up land that cleared over one nun
dred years ago from one-third of a bale
TO a bale and a half per acre.
We do not consider it good practice
To appIv cotton seed to the land at any
time, and certainly not under existing
conditions. Cotton seed, of course, con-
tains about forty-three gallons OF OIL
per ton and this is exceedingly valu-
able now as a source of fat Soldiers
as YOU know, require lots of TAT, ana
we need a great deal of it in the manu-
facture of ammunition. It is one OF
our food materials that is now short
therefore we should sell all our cot
ton seed and use other materials Tor
fertilizing purposes, because the Oil
is made of clements taken up from
the air by the plant and therefore
does not enrich the land when returned
to it. One using cotton seed, of course
might with propriety mix with II say
500 hounds of yard manure, $50 pounds
of cotton seed and $50 pounds of acid.
This would make a fairly satisfactory
conopost for use under corn and cotton.
You might apply it at the rate of 1000
up to 1000 pounds per acre. We would
scatter such material under the drill
row and mix it with the subsOn before
planting. In the matter of cotton SEED
meal and acid you cannot make a
better mixture for ordinary purposes
than to use these materials in equal
amounts. In other words, mix 1,OOO
pounds of cotton seed meal and LOU
pounds of acid together. If your cot
ton seed meal is of the grade IT should
be this formula will contain something
like . per cent nitrogen, 90 per cent
phosphoric acid, and about per cent
of potash. 1t will be good practice
to use at least 800 pounds of this for
mula under the drill row and 200 pounds
later in the season as a. side applica-
ton. If a side application is made
we prefer to put it on early so as
to give all the elements plenty Of time
to be assimilated by the growing plants.
Of course, it is good practice on the
part of the farmer to have and enrich
his land with as much of the materials
he produces on his farm as possible.
At theI same time, there are many in
stances in which he can sell certain
types of his materials, as cotton seed,
and buy back its equivalent in fertilizer
and increase the fertility Of his land
while letting the oil, so valuable as hu-
man food, go on the market.

THE PROSPECTS FOR IRISH PoTA
TOES.

TOES.
J. .. H.. Quartz. Ga, writes: I would
like your opinion regarding the Irish potato
market this spring. ! sold Irish potatoes
last year al $3.50 delivered. This year 7
have not been offered anything. Do you
think fall Irish potatoes will pay?
1t is impossible to prognosticate the
price of spring planted Irish potatoes.
However the food administration has
rather indicated its opinion that we
should plant a normal crop of Irish po-
tatoes this spring. Naturally, the SOON
err one can get them in the sround and
have them ready for the market the bet
ter the price they are likely to bring.
There are fairly good consuming mar
kets in Georgia which should be glad
to get a reasonable supply. There is, of
course, the question of railroad trans
portation. The government authorities
in charge of this service claim they will
be able to handle the situation satisfac-
torily and there is reason to believe that
facilities for moving food crops will
improve from now on. 1t seems to me,
therefore. there should be a reasonable
demand for Irish potatoes for ship
ment north as well as for local con-
sumption.
We see no reason why full Irish po-
tatoes should not be planted with sue
cess in north Georgia. This crop is not
difficult to store or handle in your sec
ton of Georgia and you should be able
to distribute potatoes during the winter
