each farmer keep the slip of paper

the local Assessor when he calls to
do the regular assessing.
The following questions correspond

FERTILIZER SITUATION
OUTLOOK FOR COMMERCIAL
PLANT FOOD IN SOUTH
Prices Not So High AS They
Were, But Materials Are
Reported Not Equal
To Demand

Atlanta. GA survey OF the Ter
tilizer situation by those familiar Win
II indicates that there may be a short
axe of commercial plant food in 1920
The reasons assigned for this are prin'
cipaIy that strikes have interfered
with the production Of materials. In
addition, there has been some diff
Guilty in obtaining shipments over the
railroads.
To be more specific, the long drawn
out strike of miners in the rock phos-
phate fields of Florida prevented a
supply of rock phosphate being ship
ped to the factories. This and the diff
ficulty of getting prompt shipments
when the mines resumed work, 1t is
claimed, has put the manufacture OF
acid phosphate more than three
months behind, besides reducing the
possible supply.
As to ammoniates or heterogeneous
materials, it is pointed out that the
coal and steel plant strikes greatly
reduced the possible output OF sui
phate of ammonia. Tankage and cot
tonseed meal are so much in demand
as feed as to be unavailable or too ex-
pensive to use as fertilizers. Nj
trate of soda is being shipped in larger
amounts, but not as cheaply as was

TENNESSEE CORN CLUB
Boys AVERAGE 54.4
BUSHELS COSTING 46C

Last year the corn club boys OF Ten.
nessee produced an average Of 54.5
bushels Of corn per acre. If il il val
ued at $50 per bushel. the crop from
each acre was worth SSl.45.
Each boy kept an account OF the
cost Of growing his corn, which aver
aged S2507 per acre When We deduct
this from the value OF the crop, there
remains a net profit Of sass.
In order to give an idea as 10 the
methods followed by some OF the more
successful corn club boys in growing
their corn, a few OF their records will
be printed during this season. II IS
hoped that their methods will be d
source of information TO others who
will be able to produce equally good
results. Until we apply on a large
scale the most practical methods used
by successful farmers and corn club
boys, we will not reap the full benefit
of the great work the county agents
are doing.

OIL CONCERNS
ARE DENIED AN
ENTRY TO MEXICO
Negotiations Have Failed to
Bring About Expected Con-
- cessiOns to Firms

Mexico City, July 3.-Negotiations
carried on with the executive depart
ment by various petroleum interests
since the establishment Of the provi-
sional government have completely
failed to bring about concessions re.
questcd from the government regard
ng petroleum regulations promulgated
under the administration of President
Carranza.
An official announcement made here
last night declared the following con-
cessions were asked: -
Modification OF all petroleum legis-
lation based upon Article q of the
constitution, placing in effect the or
iginal regulations regarding oil opera
tions, cancellation Of IS permits which
the government already has granted
for drilling operations on national
lands, which include costal and river
bank territory.
Representatives of the petroleum
interests conferred with General ia
cinto Trevino, secretary Of industry,
commerce and labor, Saturday night.
The following statement was issued
by this department.:
During the second conference be-
tween representatives of petroleum
companies which have not complied
with Cart'anza government dec1ees
and General Trevinto and other de-
partmental chiefs, these representa-
tives requested suspension of conces-
sions in federal zones and nullifica-
tion Of those concessions already
granted. They based their request
upon the fact, although Section 6 of
Article 27 of the constitution gives
the executive the right to grant pc
troleum concessions, there still exists
no organic law to develop this section
Of Article 27. They likewise said the
Article 27 could not be applied be-
cause of the same lack of organic
law.
Moreover it was asserted the ma
tion had no property rights in the fed
eral zone for this zone was created
solely for the common good and to es-
tablish free navigation, while petrol
cum concessions pervert the object
aimed at through the law declaring
this zone federal property. They as
serted these concessions damage hold
ers of adjacent lands, since the con-
cessions in the federal zone can ex-
tract oil from deposits which the COM
panies they represented now are de-
veloping. These arguments were
easily answered"
