READY TO HELP THE
 EXPERIMENT STATION
Fertilizer Men Visit Auburn and Get
 Interested

Auburn, August 10.-(Special) )-The Fer tilizer industry of the state decided yes terday. after investigation, to get behind the Alabama experiment station, and through campaign of education arouse the people of the state to the need for sufficient funds and appropriations from the legislature to equip the college to do its work.
 Over fifty managers, superintendents and salesmen, representing the Alabama membership of the Southern Fertilizer Association, visited the Alabama Poly technic Institute yesterday to get person ally acquainted with the workers of the Alabama experiment station and the ex- tension service, and fainiliarize them- selves with the present facilities and needs of the institution generally.
 Representing one of the most influential lines of southern industry, these men upon the occasion of their annual meeting at Athens, Ga, stopped over a day at Auburn. to learn at first hand what was being done in scientific way, and through careful experiment to develop reliable information for the use of the southern farmer in restoring the fertil- . ity of his soils and increasing his annual crop yields.

ITO add an additional % per cent upon the already over-heavy burden will be a
 gross injustice and threatens to crush
 the life out of home building, which The
 government has recognized as one of the greatest paramount needs of the world today.
 Besides the heavy burden of excessive freight charges, the building material in- dustry has been treated worse than d stepchild in the matter of distribution of cars for transporting same, notwithstand- ing it's immense tonnage, the infinitesimai percentage of damage claims and loading of cars to maximum capacity, prompt

terial handlers, at which protest was en- tered against imposition of the 25 per cent increase in freight rates on building ma terials, formal resolutions were drawn UT and dispatched to the interstate com merce commission and the Alabama pub- lie service commission
 A letter was also addressed to Senator Calder, chairman of the Senate committee on reconstruction and production. noti. flying him of the action taken. The ma terial men were encouraged to enter thelr protest following recommendation of the Calder committee to the interstate com merce commission that the rates on building material be not increased now because they were penalized by the Mo Adoo order during the war period.
 RESOLUTIONS
 The resolution adopted is in the form of letter to Senator Calder, and is in part as follows:
 At a representative meeting of the al- lied building material industries, held un- der the auspices of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday, August 10, we, the undersigned, unanimously adopted resolution indorsing the action of your committee in its petition to the interstate commerce commission. to ex- cept from the provisions of the proposed 25 per cent increase in freight rates to be- come effective August 26, all the basic building materials.
 As you well know, the effect of general order No. 2S of the United States director general of railroads, issued during the war. was to increase the freight rates on building materials an average of over oJ per cent, whereas the advance in general to all other commodities was 25 per cent.
