MORE MONEY CROPS
FOR SOUTHERN STATES

Though cotton will always remain
the South's main money crop, there is
no good reason why it should be the
only money crop that a southern
planter should raise, especially when
there are so many others that pay as
well, or better, than cotton.
Referring to the crop reports of the
United States Department of Agricul,
ture for the year 1919, it will be found
that the gross returns on some of the
leading crops are very attractive as
compared to cotton. The returns per
acre, as shown in this report, are as
follows:
Cotton average, $70,S7 per acre.
Peanuts average $7O.93 per acre.
Tobacco average $2S5.37 per acre
Sweet potatoes average $13419 per
acre
Sugar cane (syrup), averages $4,000
per acre.

FERTILIZERS
ARE DELAYED
Side Application After Planting
Advised by Agricultural Au-
thOrity if Plant Food is Not
Received in Time to Put
Them Under the Crop

Southern farmers are demanding
more fertilizers than ever before; but,
unfortunately. all indications are that
enough fertilizers cannot be manufac.
tured and delivered in time to meet
this demand before the crops are
planted" says Director J. N. Harper
OF the Soil Improvement Committee.
who has been travelling extensively
throughout the farming sections of the
South.
IN this exigency. what is the farm.
er to do? Sit idly down and say there
Is no use trying? By no manner of
means. He Should proceed with mis-
preparation and l:nting. He s.culd
persist in his Efforts to get his fer
tlilzers until he does get them, then
apply them as a side application to his
crops.
Side applications have long been
practlced under normal conditions. and
now necessity demands that a large
quantity of the plant food be applied
IN this way. The plant can feed up-
on the fertilizers when they are put
on as side application just as well
as when put under the crop. The
tlrst application can be made as soon
as the fertilizers are received even
II the cotton is up and has made some
growth.
Under boil weevil conditions, it is
desirable, of course, where possible. to
apply the fertilizer under the cotton,
but a farmer is not taking as great a
chance at failure with side applica-
ton as in attempting to grow the crop
without fertilizers.
1T is not as economical to make a
side application as to distribute the
fertilizers and prepare the land with
the same operations as is usually
done at seeding time. But the present
demand for all farm commodities and
the prices they are bringing abund-
antly justify this comparatively small
additional expense.
"The factors influencing the short
age of fertilizers have been beyond
the control of the fertilizer manufac-
turers. The main difficulty has been
the scarcity of ground phosphate rock,
from which to manufacture acid phos-
phate, due chiefly to the protracted
strikes in the phosphate fields of Flor
ida, and to the railroad car shortage.
The factories have been unable to run
at full capacity, not only because of
insufficient raw materials but because
Of lack of labor. The manufacturers
are making every effort to get suf-
ficient materials and labor to operate
their factories at the highest posscible
speed.
THE farmers should accept the sit
uation, proceed with his planting,
utilize what fertilizers he has, if any,
by putting them under his crop, and
apply the rest as be receives them,
and feel confident that a satisfactory
crop can be made"

How Low Rates Are Secured
for Farmers.

'sThe federal land banks are not per-
mitted to charge any rate of interest
except that which the board may pre-
scribe, arr the rate of interest which
the farmer is required to pay may new
err exceed one per cent In excess OF the
rate upon the bonds.
"If they can sell the bonds at three
per cent. the farmer under the terms
gets the benefit; he gets 1t at four
and in addition to that pays one per
cent for amortization, which would
make the cost of the money five per
cent, including all of the expenses of
the operation of the bank and the one
per cent for amortization.
Nov the value of the loan to the
farmer is very great. Not only is he
assured of his credit for thirty-three
or thirty-six years. if he wants it, but
he knows that nobody can force the
earlier payment Of the principal of the
loan except upon his own default. On
the other hand, if he happens to be
prosperous and finds that he has earned
enough money to pay the loan before
maturity, he is allowed to pay it in full
or any part, at any time after hVe
years"

is an expression of unqualified APP
prevail Harding, in following his
plan to make an indiscriminate eff
fort to line up the party leaders be-
fore taking his vacation, has met with

This spirit of harmony and good
will is not confined to a few party

braces all factions of the entire mass
that makes up the Republican party.
With such exhibitions of sanction

is success for Harding and the whole

TIRES For AUTOS

Do you know that the right rear
tire wears faster than the other
three? Well it does. Tire experts of
the Diamond Rubber Co., Inc, say
that it usually becomes worn out and
ready for the scrap heap when the
other tires, put on at the same time,
are good for many more miles of SER
vice
1t is generally understood that the
rear tires get harder wear than the
front tires because they supply the
power and traction. OF the rear
tires, the right one wears out first
because when the car goes along the
road it is usually slightly tilted be-
cause of the pavement grade. More
weight therefore falls on that side
and the right rear tire takes hold
first and bears more traction than
the left rear fs
The tire receiving the next hardest
usage is the left rear, then the right
front, and last the left front. To get
the maximum wear from a set of
tires the right rear should be moved
to left front when it begins to show
signs of wear and the left rear should
be moved to right front This will
make the tire wear out uniformity.

The League of Nations" is pro-
ject to underwrite the war debt Of
Europe. 1t is opposed because there
is no desire to aid the international
financiers of Bankrupt Europe. The
demand for plank favoring the adop
ton of the League of Nations
covenant was pretty strong at Chica-
go when the Republican National
convention met. Senator Crane,
Henry P. Davidson (prominent in the
Red Crosse, Thomas w. Lamont and
Dwight W. Morrow were in Chicago
as representatives of j. P. Morgan
& Co., and insisted for long time
upon a ratification plank. These men
asked the United States to make
what enemies Of the League call
ironically ''The Supreme Sacrifice" in
going on record in favor of adopting
the League covenant. The New York
Sun and Herald told on its first page
how Senator William E Borah (Idaho)
and Senator Medill Mccormick ((Ili-
nois) laid down the decision of lead
ing Republicans to Senator Crane;
how these men threatened to bolt the
Republican party if the plan to I'M
derwrite the war debt of Europe was
no abandoned. Many delegates were
misled or unwittingly sympathized
with the internatinal financiers re-
curing this show down After a
stormy night Senator Crane decided
to withdraw the plank he had submit
ted and said that he would have no
further advice to offer or suggestions
to make. That ended it. The rati-
ficationists quit the struggle.

CHILDREN SAVE. TOO

More than a thousand dollars was
saved by school children in West Vir-

port received here today from the ed
ucational division of the government
savings organization for this district.
The children have accumulated the
money in very small amounts, often
by means of penny and nickel savings
cards issued them through their saw
ings clubs. Among city schools re-
porting, those of Hinton rank first
in the report with $217.80 to their
credit, and Clarksburg is second with
$172.70.
School savings clubs are planning
in many instances to keep on earning
and saving during the summer, so
lively is the interest in the movement
displayed by boys and girls here. An
essay contest will be held when school
reopens, giving the Children an oppor-
tunity to tell of their earnings and
saving experiences during vacation.

NOW YOU SET AND NOW 1T
AMT THERE

The recent wave of spiritism that
has lately been in evidence in the Uni
ted States has now started to recede.
Following the civil war there was a
similar wave of spiritism but the pre-
sent one has more supporters and
uses modern methods for the extrac-
ton of mony from the credulous.
At that time the ouija obard and
gazing crystals had only a limited
use while mediums employing auto
matte writing and spirit photography
were unknown.
In the present move there are some
leaders that are known throughout
the world but one of the remarkable
things abut this movement is that it
is the characteristic of every well
known supporter that he has some
thing to sell.
Some of the most quoted advocates
of spiritism, probably the foremost
being Doyle, the British novelist,
have magazine articles and book man.

lesser lights that have various contri-

may fool themselves.

sane to combat this gigantic graft.

Barnyard manure often contains
great quantities of weed seed and If

Of the ground It will doubtless be diff
ficult to keep this cornfield clean. In
order to get the most good out of the
manure 1t should be hauled out to the
field soon after 1t is made, and If 1t
is hauled out in the winter and plowed
under in the spring, it will probably
require less work to keep down the
