Delayed Applications
Of Fertilizers

Lack of labor on the farm, unfavor-
able weather at planting time, conges-
ton os railways and consequent delays
toshipments, may prevent the full and
proper amount of fertilizer being APP
pied to the crop at time of planting.
LATE APPLICATIONS PAY
A late application of fertilizer as a
embarrassing to rowed crops, or as a
top-dressing for other crops, is often
quite as effective as when applied at
planting or seeding time.
certainly it is much better and wiser
TO make the delayed fertilizer applica-
ton in this way than to attempt to
grow a crop with no fertilizer at all, or
with less than the usual quantity. Re
member that fertilizer conserves farm
labor by making it more productive.
The big problem is to apply the fertiliz-
CT with the least possible amount of
labor, but at such a time, and in such
a way, as to make it most effective.

BYRNES MAKES FIGHT
ON POTASH MEASURES
Opposes Fordney Bill Designed to
Make Big Increase i'm Cost of
Fertilizer.

Washington, June 16.-Represen-
tative Byrnes of South Carolina has
started an aggressive fight against
the Fordney bill now under consid-
GRAFTON before the way and means
committee which proposes to fix a
price for potash for the next two
years at $3.50 a ton, for the third
year $500 and for the fourth and
fifth years $50 a ton. The purpose
of this bill is to protect the potash
industry in the West during the war.
the claim being that at the end Of
five years they can compete with i'm
ported potash.
Mr.. Byrnes has urged upon the
ways and means committee that the
bill Will work untold injury to the
cotton farmers Of the south who
prior to the war purchased potash at
price not exceeding $50 ton. 1t
can hereafter be imported from AL
SAGE, which will be French territory.
so that we will not be dependent up
on any one nation for our supply.
Mr.. Byrnes investigation shows
that the potash industry of the west
has for the last two years produced
potash at S12O a ton. and has sold it
for not less than S4O0 a ton. and for
long period at 5000 ton. He
claims that the industry has already
made enough profit to wipe out the
no protection by the government.
The Republicans seem disposed to
protect the industry either by this
price fixing or by high tariff duty
which would accomplish the same
purpose. Mr.. Byrnes is determined
to make an aggressive fight against
it.

State Warehouse Commissioner
Says Much of This Could BE
Prevented if Warehouses Had

yesterday that many new ware

1919 which they suffered on the crop
Of 1918. large part of this loss
from weather rotten cotton would
not have occurred had the state
warehouse system had storage space
for all of the cotton offered to it.
j. S. Wannamaker of st. Mat
thews, president of the American
Cotton association, has estimated
that country damage" caused loss
of 6.3 per cent on the cotton crop
of 1918. On this basis, the farmers
OF South Carolina lost on their 1918
crop of 100000 bales the stagger-
ing sum of s14,175,OO0 account
damage to bales Of cotton left in the
weather.
On Mr.. Wannamaker's estimate,
the loss per bale for Country dam
age" amounted on the average of
31.5 pounds worth $9.45 at 80
cents. The average cost of ware
housing and insuring a bale OF cot
ton against fire for six months in the
state warehouse system is less than
the entire 1918 crop caused by

that with the removal OF all govern
