FLORIDA GROWERS PAYING
TOO MUCH FOR FERTILIZERS
New York Packer.)

Washington, July 29.-That the
increase of SO a ton in fertilizer pric-
es to certain Florida farmers is not
justified, is the statement of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
The prices quoted by fertilizer
manufacturers for fertilizers to be
Evered +. o. b. Jacksonville, for de-
livery in Florida east of the Arala-
chicola river are SO a ton higher than
the prices for similar goods to be
delivered west rof that river and in
the cotton belt north Of Florida. The
reason given for these higher prices
is not satisfactory to the Department
CT Agriculture.
The reasons given for this increase
are that the expenses of manufacture
are greater, as a great many of the
Florida growers send in their own
formulas for special mixtures, and
these mixtures have to be put up in
small lots and specially stenciled. 1t
is claimed further that the Florida
trade is usually in small amounts of
ten only few tons to the customer
Il is further claimed that on account
OF the greater danger from frost
more crop failures are liable to accuH

When you can do your work, though
all about you, -.
Are Sinking theirs and piling more
on you,
When you can keep right on, Though
many doubt you
And still forgive them for their
doubling too,
When you can try and not be tired
by trying,
And being slandered still can wear a
smile,
And be misjudged, yet waste no time
in crying,
But keep right on with mind still free
from guile.
When you can plan without the least
assistance
When you can build, without the aid
of tools,
When you can know the folly of re-
sistance,
And feel the truth that Harmony e'er
rules,
When you can see that favorite cas-
ties crumble,
Your bravest efforts showing no re-
suits,
And know your pride must take n
mighty tumble,
Because you've failed to guage the
public's pulse.
When you can give your all without
misgiving,
And find too late your Judgment has
been wrong,
And still can see the joy there is in
living,
And still believe that life is one grand
song,
When you can train your heart and
brain and features,
To show to others what you con. try
to teach,
And those convince those arrogant
male creatures,
That you can really practice what you
preach.
When you can see in each days petty
furries,
Mere problems, one can readily spell
out,
Instead Of cause for peace-destroy-
ing worries,
And reasons for development Of
doubt;
When you can work famed by am
bition's fire,
To forge ahead and reach the distant
goal,
Success is yours and all that you de.
sire,
And what is more, my child, you've
found your soul.

The Governor declared in a speech
at Tampa a couple of weeks ago that
he would take away the charters Of
the phosphate companies, and that he
was having the Attorney General look
into the legal aspects of the matter,
preparatory to such action. The At
torney-General says this proposition
has never been referred to him. We
would hate to intimate that either Of
these distinguished gentlemen would
deviate ever so slightly from the
cherry-tree path blazed by Mr.. G.
Washington; but it looks ominously
Ike something of the kind has &C.
CURED.

greater, and in general that the sell
ing expenses are greater.
The department says that call on
the fertilizer manufacturers to justi-
fly this increase shows an absolute
discordance of statement. For the
cotton belt the cost Of manufacture
, and overhead is reported to be no
more than for the spring Of 1919 than
for the fall of 1919. For Florida one
manufacturer claims that 1t costs VI
ton more to manufacture for Florida
than for the cotton belt. Another one
claims 60c a ton more for the fall
trade than for the spring trade An
ether one claims that it costs $2.O2
less for the fall trade than for the
spring trade.
For selling and collecting one
manufacturer claims that it costs w
ton more in Florida than in the
cotton belt. Another ole that 1t costs
81 .O4 more for the fall trade than for
the spring trade, but that it costs
81 80 a ton more han for the fall
trade in Florida than for the fall
trade in the cotton belt. Another
manufacturer claims that it will cost
81. 35 less for the fall trade than for
the spring trade and csc more for
the fall trade in Florida than the fall
trade in the cotton belt. These dis
crepancies are too great to Justify
their claim that there should be a
fiat increase of SO ton," the De"
partment of Agriculture says.
ION account Of the limited time
and the limited appropriations Of the
department it has been found impos-
sible to verify these figures by an ex-
pert examination Of the books" says
the department. Under the circum-
stances the only thing the depart
ment can do is to state that in order
to be sure no injustice may be done
and in order that the supply OF fer
tilizers to the Florida farmers may
not be interrupted, the department
will not require the manufacturers
to revise their figures at the present
time, but to notify them that state.
ment will be issued to the farmers
setting forth these matters in detail
and notifying them that they ought

Lack Of Referendum in Ger
tain States is Given as
the Reason
OHIO POINTED
OUT AS INSTANCE

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Feb. i2-The
Providence Journal publishes an an-
nouncement declaring that after con-
sultation with some Of the best known
constitutional lawyers in the country, ].
believed ahe action OF Acting Secretary
Polk In proclaim ng the prohibition
amendment effective, and adopted. was
illegal. The proclamation Is entirely
void, the Journal contends, for the rea-
son that when II was made thirty-six
States had not ratified the amendment.
This list Of States" the statement
reads, included a number OF States,
the constitutions Of which contained
provisions for referendum OF the acts
and resolutions OF their legislative as
semblies. Among these States were
Ohio and California.
The referendum provision in Ohio,
the Journal continues, has been be-
fore the United States Supreme Court,
which held that the people OF Ohio.
under The provision, are a part OF she
Legislature. An amendment 10 this
provision was adopted at the general
election in 1918, the statement points
out, under which ratification by the
assembly OF a national constitutional
amendment may be subjected 10 a re.-
erendum. The right OF the people
OF California 10 similar action Is quite
as clear. according TO the journal.
The statement continues:
Undoubtedly. the State OF Ohio, for
Instance, has not ratified and ratlflca-
tion cannot be said 10 have occurred in
the State Of Onio until the referendum
proceedings have been completed.
Therefore. Mr.. Polk's proclamation
declaring that thlrty-six States had raj
lfled as OF January &c. 1919. is void and
force. 1t is assumed that the
States listed as ratifying had completed
their procedure, when, in fact, their
procedure was no more complete than
Il would have been II only one House
OF the general assembly had acted,
and the decision Of the other House
