COMBINATIONS TO
EXPORT PHOSPHATE
Mas Been Formed Under the Name OF
the Phosphate Export tAsso-
citation.
BY GEORGE n. MANNING.

| BY GEORGE n. MANNING.
| WASHINGTON, .. c., May 2S.--A
combination of Georgia, Florida and
New York concerns handling phos-
phate rock has been formed under the
name of the Phosphate Export Asso-
citation, with offices in New York,
Savannah and London, England, to en-
gage in the expectation of phosphate
under the Webb-Pomerane law, the
federal trade commission announces.
The concerns forming the combAna-
ton are Dunnellon Phosphate Co.,
Savannah, Mutual Mining Co., Savan-
nah; The Florida Hard Rock Phos-
phate Export Assn, comprising five
member concerns in Georgia and
Florida; J. Buttgenbach, e Co., Dunel-
Ion, Fla; c. e. j. Camp. Ocala, Fla;
GUNNER Lumber Co., Jacksonville;
Dunnellon Phosphate Co., and Mutual
Mining Co., Savannah, and the Inter
national Agricultural Corporation,
Coronct Phosphate Co., Phosphate
Mining Co., and Southern Phosphate
Corporation, all of New York.
Phosphate rock is used principally
as fertilizer, either directly with no
further treatment than grinding, or
changed to acid phosphate by chemi-
cal treatment. The United States
produces more crude phosphate than
any other country, northern Africa
ranking second. Florida produces rs
to 80 per cent of our output. The
American product is believed to COM
pete very favorably with the product
of Algiers.
A market for Florida land pebble
phosphate and Florida hard rock phos-
phate has already been established in
the United Kingdom, Continental
Europe and Japan. ~
5s' Phosphate exports from the United
States in 1920 amounted to 344,896 tons
Of the rock, shipped from Fernandina
and Jacksonville. and 693.455 tons of
land pebble, shipped from Tampa, Port
Tampa and Boca Grande Florida.

Senator Plympton's constituents, Miss
Zula Conner Young, has written words
and music for a state song called Our

the song, as follows:
Our Florida
Florida leads all the states OF the land,
None so famous, none SO grand,
AS our own glad Eden land; Our
beaches are as white as snow,
Where our tourists come and go,
Carefree as the tides that ebb and flow.
CHORUS:
none so grand,
AS our own sweet Eden land,
OF the sun-bright skies, where the rose
never dies,
Where the moon-beams are the
whitest, and the stars CLEAN the
brightest,
In Eden land, sweet Eden land
The old oaks are so wrapped in mys-
terry,
Please tell US thy histry,
The Mecca Of tourist land, water so
soft, so pure and clear,
Climate so fine thru the year;
Come. and join our glad and happy
land.

NATIVE ILLITERATES.

The proportion Of native Hitter
ates in the United States Is surpris-
ingly large. according to what the
last census revealed. The figures are
tonrrned by reports athe5ed during
the war By draft boards
II would not be surprising 10 find
illiteracy above the average existing
among foreigners; but when inabil-
ity to read or write exists among ma
tive Americans. then there is some
thing radically wrong with the edu-
cational system.
We are justly proud of our school
system, which is we'll developed in
most states, and in some states is 100
per cent efficient. But when the
children of native Americans are not
permitted to take full advantage of
the school facil tiles, then it is time
to know the reason why.
The purpose of the national educa-
tional week, which was promulgated
by the federal government recently,
was to concentrate attention on edu-
cational shortcomings as they exist
here and there. The rural schools
especially need improvement. There
is no reason why the children of
people living in the country dis
tricts should be receiving an infer
ior education to those living in the
city. The country is entitled to get
its moneys worth in taxes as we'll
as the city-and the best way to get
it is through the schools.

Road Board Approves
Plea for Federal Aid

Senatobia, Miss, Dec. Is. - The
State Highway Department has ap-
proved the application of the board
Of supervisors of Tate county for
federal aid on the twelve miles of
Memphis to New Orleans Airline
Highway, This action of the high
way department assures the con-
struction of this link Of the road
through Tate county.
The county has available $4,000
with the automobile fund from Tate
county now in the hands of the State
Highway Department which will give
the county about 100000 to expend
in the construction of the road. This
is the last remaining link of the road
between Memphis and jackson that
has heretofore been without approx
al by the State Highway Depart
ment. 1t is the purpose Of the coun-
ty to hard-surface this road begin
ming at the DeSoto county line.
DeSoto county will hardsurface
to the Tate line. and this viii give
"a graveled road from Senatobia by
Coldwater into Memphis, and south
to jackson. after the completion of
link through Pamela county. The
board Of supervisors announce It has
found from. experience with the cross
county roads that it is a waste Of
money to grade and not put on the
hardsurface at once. A survey Of
the twelye-mile stretch viii be made
and work begun IN few months.

Chas. H. Brough Tells Not to Hold
Reduction is Suicide"

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. IL. - Chas.
H. Brough, former governor of Ar
kansas, told the cotton convention
that any policy other than to hold
to the lines of cotton acreage reduc-
tion and diversifcation established
last year would be suicide.
"Let every community in the cot
ton belt become self-sustaining in
the matter of food and feed" Mr..
Brough urged, and gave as a safe
rule six acres of hay for each work
animal in addition to the area need
ed to produce feed for cattle and
swine.
AS a result of agricultural better
ment plans put into effect in Arkan-
sas, he said, approximately $1,000
900 bushels of corn, 100000 of
oats and 100000 of potatoes in ad-
dition to the dairy products valued
at 100000 and chickens and
eggs $20,000,000 were produced in
that state during the past year. The
Arkansas crop he estimated at $780,
900.
Besides safe and sane" farming
methods, cooperative marketing
should be encouraged, Mr.. Brough
said, school systems strengthened,
roads improved and strong commun-
ity developed.

Slaughter Of the Child Welfare Unit
az guest of honor DR.. Slaughter has
been at work in Brool1haven and Lin
coin county for several months and
had p eviously worked in other coun-
tics of Mississippi, so she is thor
oughly conversant with health con-
ditions here, which she briefly sum-
married.. rs per cent of the school
children have bad teeth, 60 per cent
bad tonsils, 40 per cent have hook
worm and 60 per cent are under

of the schools was deplored. The
physical handicaps are all correct
able.

vocated and it was stated of the
states 80 counties have officers so
employed.
DR.. Slaughter made a plea for a
follow up" campaign. after her
work here is ended, commencing the
efficiency of local physicians.
The Kiwanians expressed their ap-
probation of DR.. Slaughter's address
in motion pledging their support
of the follow-up campaign.
An inquiry as to the cause of the
under nourished condition of many
school children brought out the
fact that 1t is not lack Of sufficient
food, but lack of properly selected
food that is to blame in Mississippi.

result much yellow pine lumber is
