THE enormous demand for all farm
products throughout the world has nat
urally had a stimulating effect upon the
fertilizer industry, and has led to q
greater use OF fertilizers not only be-
cause they produce greater crops Of bet
ter quality, but also because they con-
serve labor by increasing the yield per
acre. This situation Is likely to continue
long after the war ends. as our farmers
are becoming educated TO the advantages
OF more scientific and economical agri-
culture"
Mr.. Bradley in directing the attention
of shareholders to the need OF additional
working capital points to the fact that
current liabilities are now s21.105.101,
compared with a net working capital of
s31,693,343. whereas current liabilities IN
1919 were only s1,026.977. compared with

Big Iron Order From England.

Trade fears are not those Of the effects
OF a peace but OF the uncharted period OF
transition from a war to a, peace basis
Authoritative expressions from Washing
ton show that the situation already is
receiving consideration In the highest
circles. The belief has been strength
ened that present Governmental regula-
ton win be extended In some form to
stabilize trade conditions after peace Ia
made. The vital necessity Of maintain
Ing production at high speed continues
to be sounded by the Government. Great
Britain Is negotiating through the Gov
eminent for 5000 tons OF basic iron
for delivery over the first half Of 1919,
This Is probably the largest single In
quiry ever put before American iron
producers.
THE subcommittee on iron and steel
scrap sticks to its belief that there will
be enough scrap to supply the steel in-
dustry during the coming winter. Tho
only doubt Is In the case Of cast scrap,
due to the fact that a number OF FUR
naces have been switched from foundry
to steelmaking iron. with a consequent
increased demand for cast scrap. Al
though the supply Of scrap has not en-
larged any. the outlook for peace has
made II much easier to purchase scrap.
The United States Railroad Administ-a-
ton has put out an inquiry for 1000
hopper cars for the Virginian Railway.
and is expected to make inquiry for
some locomotives.
THE steel trade watches with inter-
est for the revisions TO existing vessel
contracts which are 10 be made by the
United States Shipping Board. 1t is
learned that the Shipping Board will
concentrate on the production of large
vessels, since these are the only kind
that will be of value in international
trade competition after the war. Even
the 1900 ton and 5000 ton vessels
which are being turned out at Hog ISL
and fall short OF the Ideal. The read
justments In contracts. thereIore, will
be drastic. and II Is not unlikely that
until they are completed considerable
tonnage may be held UP at the mills
until they receive new schedules of
specifications"

RusseIlite Refused Chance
to Speak in High Point

A proposition was before the city
council Tuesday night to allow a
follower of Pastor Russell to address
a High Point AUDIENCE and the coun-
Gil very timely voted unanimously
not to allow such a thing to happen
again here. 1t will be remembered
that some time ago a Russellite was
silowed to talk here which brought
much indignation AMI criticism from
pulpit. press and individual. Since
that'time the government has given
the black eye to the Russell propa
ganda in refusing to let its product,
i. e., The Finished Mystery" be
circulated because the book con-
tanned dangerous doctrine ahd was
calculated to undermine the govern
ment. Russellism is not patriotism
to say the least, if we are to judge
by the book. and doesn't make any
pretense at loyalty for and devotion
to the country which shields and
protects its followers.
