LABOR SHORTAGE THREATENS
PRODUCTION
The Fertilizer Industry Hard HI BY
the War.

The supply Of fertilizer for 1919
spring sown crops is threatened by
shortage of labor in the fertilizer fac
tories. This fact is Of particularly Sc
rious import to the potato farmers of
the country, for the great potato sec
lions are coming more and more to de-
pend on fertilizer for the economical
production of this crop. Thus 1t hap
pens that the very factor which pre-
vents factories running to full capac-
ity also has effect in preventing farm
ers from using their own depleted farm
labor supply to best advantage. Labor
cannot be used to advantage on those
fields which can give but half a crop.
The fertilizer industry is normally
a seasonal industry. About the first
of February the factories are normally
in full blast, producing fertilizer for
use on spring crops. Then they "die
down" again for a period of several
months in late spring and early sum-
mer This requires a large floating
supply of labor, supply which has
largely been eaten up by demands of
I
the shipyards and munition factories.
Transferring the industry from a
seasonal basis to full II months OPP
Grating basis will certainly be ecOnom-
zeal of labor. The factories can then
work at somewhat diminished daily
capacity for more weeks in the year,
and in this way get cut the necessary
tonnage. It can't be done at once,
however, because factories do not have
storage space enough to allow of this.
Goods must be shipped out almost as
fast us they are made-so that the
greatest possible output by the re-
stricted supply of labor may be as
sured.
If fertilizer users the country over
will order early, through accustomed
channels. and agree to take the goods
from the car on arrival, much may be
done TO help insure sufficient supply
for next springs business. Early Or
dering, however, means NOW.

CAN AMERICA PRODUCE
HER OWN POTASH?

New light is thrown on this inter-
esting question by facts and figures
contained In a recent publication of
the bureau of soils of the United
States department of agriculture.
Bulletin No. 572 gives careful
analysis of the probable potash sup
ply to be had from the cement indus
try when apparatus for its recovery
has been universally installed.
On the basis of an average produc-
tlon of 90000,000 barrels of cement.
the total potash escaping at present
amounts to about $1,000 tons annually.
1t has been demonstrated commercial
ly that 80 per ceat of this potash is
recoverable and experiments show
that 90 per cent of this amount is In
available form or may readily be made
available. On this basis we would
have a production of approximately
10000 tons OF available potash each
year.
Since. only about so per cent Of the
potash In the raw material is ordinar-
lily volatilized In the process Of making
cement, as handled at present, there
is prospect Of still further quantities
to be made available from this
source.
The present high prices Of potash
are encouraging installation of collect
nc apparatus and when once installed
the cost of potash recovery is small.

CANNON AND CROPS CONSUME
THE SAME MATERIALS
Wartime Conditions Threaten Fertil-
izer Supply.

Every cannon crash and every burst
ing bomb on the battlefields of Europe
uses up important fertilizer materials.
A single skirmish may consume more
potential plant food than would be re-
Iuired to feed the fields of an entire
township, and the quantities burned

300 tons of nitrate went to make eX-
olosives, in the United States alone.
Millions Of tons of sulphuric acid were
likewise consumed.

self. Yet when Mars is the arbiter
he preference on materials must go
% the soldier rather than to the farm
.r. This accounts for the shortage OF
materials from which fe~tii2gif ere
made.
But now a new danger threatens the
spring fertilizer supply. The labor
supply has failed. The needs of the
nunition plants and the shipyards
nave been so great as to seriously
Train the fertilizer factories. Many
plants have lost 30 to 40 per cent of
heir labor, and there is no prospect
or improvement by next spring.
In normal times spring fertilizers
are turned out by working the fac
.Ories at high speed during the late
winter and early spring months. Only
half as many laborers are employed in
November and December as In Febru-
iry and March.
With the present difficulty Of getting
abOrers, it can be seen how remote is
he chance of speeding up to double
production next spring. There is only
one way to get out the fertilizer ton
mage needed for next years crops, and
lhat is to start in now and run every
factory as best it may every day from
now until spring.
But manufacturing every day must
mean shipping every day. Fertilizer
factories DO not have and cannot get
storage space for this tremendous
bulk of goods. Finished goods must
be loaded directly on the cars and

He must place his order Immediately

But-why grow soft corn, when a
crop of hard corn costs less per

Corn is planted when the SCH is still

The reserves in the seed are soon ex-

ANOTHER AMERICAN CON.

Possibly no other cultivated crop Of
fers quicker or larger cash return
than does the field bean. In the past,
bean growing has been confined to
comparatively small areas, but grow
ers have found out that there are va
rietles adapted to growth In most every
section of the country.
While beans have been looked upon
by some as poor land crop" they
do best on fertile soil that is neither
extremely light and open nor too heavy
and compact. The bean is legume,
capable by virtue of its root structure,
of taking nitrogen from the air. but
owing to its brief growing season the
nitrogen-gathering bacteria on the
roots have but short space Of time in
which to fix nitrogen. Fertilizers used
on beans should supply nitrogen as
well as phosphoric acid and potash.
The rapid growth and early maturity
secured through the use of fertilizers
are also valuable in enabling the crop
to escape rust, blights or early froets.

THE RAILWAY ADMINISTRATION
ASKS FOR EARLY DISTRiBU-
TON or FERTILIZERS.

Washington. d. C.-The United
States administration has asked that
farmers, agents and dealers all over
the country cooperate in getting
spring fertilizer moved at the earliest
possible moment. Winters congestion
may this year, as last year, reduce
movement of fertilizer. Fertilizer
shipped now insures at least a part
getting to consumers In time for use,
and ut the same time helps in freeing
the railways for what may be. more
important service later in the season.

to develop into law suits and bad

Charles Graybill, knocking him
down and rolling him over in the
dust Bernie Kifmer, noticing the
alleged assault upon Mr.. Graybill
went to his assistance, whereupon
it is reported that Claud Hess
struck him. Myers is then said to
have crossed the street where Dr..
D. P. Fry was standing with his
hands in his pockets, and struck
the doctor in the face. Nothing.
was done in the matter as the men
left in the draft, but it is rrmored
THAT other parties, charged with
agitating the disturbance. will be
made responsible. For come time
past there has been not a little
fractional feeling in Hedgesville,
some attributing 1t to politics and
others to disagreements arising
over the draft. The incident is
greatly regretted by all who have
the best interests of Hedgesville
lat heart. It is claimed that the
men assailed had gone down to- the
Square to see the draft boys off.

was announced that, effective Thurs

Valley Railroad in that city will be
closed so far as the transaction of

the business will be conducted at the
passenger and freight stations of the

will be the joint agent
All Cumberland Valley passenger

which was built several years ago to
effect a physical connection between

All Cumberland Valley freight traf-
