STATION AGENTS
STAY ON JOB

Chicago, July "a (By the Associat-
of approximately 10000 station
agents, preparations for the forma-
tion of new unions of shop workers
on Eastern roads and negotiations for
separate peace on the Baltimore &
Ohio marked the progress today of
the railway shopmen's strike.
The move for new unions to take
the place OF the striking shop crafts
was initiated by l.. +. Loree, Eastern
regional chairman of the Association
of Railway Executives, and was tax
en- as an indication of tn, intention
of the roads to hold out against the
strikers demand 70! u return of
seniority rights as preliminary to any
settlement.
The Eastern roads, according to
Mr.. Loree, plan to take advantage Of
rulings by the labor board by organ
izing new shopmen in such way
that each system will have it's own
Eunion and will be able to negotiate
separately with it's men.
Parleys for separate peace, due
tomorrow at Baltimore between rep
resentatives of the striking shopmen
and the Baltimore & Ohio railway, at
tracted considerable attention in
union circles but strike leaders re-
fused to make any comment.
The efforts of w. L. McMenimen,
labor member of the rail board, to-
day prevented further spread of
the strike, at a conference with w.
j. Noone, head of the station agents
organization. Mr.. Noone complained
that the station agents were being
forced to do work of the strikers, but
Mr.. McMenimen gave him such as
surances that any grievances would
be corrected that he atferward an
nounced that the station agents would
remain at work pending conference
with the labor board.
Comparatively few outbreaks were
reported during the day, but further
cancellation of trains, said to be due
mostly to the shortage of coal, were
reported from various sections. The
Grand Trunk took off two trains be-
tween Chicago and Detroit and two
between Chicago and Harvey.

COTTON ACREAGE
AND FERTILIZER

EI@h! .S,on, July 24.-Commercial
fertilizer was used on about 33 per
GER of the cotton acreage this year
or on about ii 100000 acres, accord
ing to reports gathered by the United
States department of agriculture. On
these acres, 249 pounds of fertilizer
were applied per acre on the average
and the total fertilizer used was
about ,429.000 tons with an average
value of $29.49 per ton, a total value
of S42, ,l2l 900, and an average value
Of $3.69 per acre.
North Carolina led all states in the
application of commercial fertilizer
to cotton production, having used 4l0
pounds per acre. North Carolina was
followed closely by Virginia, with 400
pounds per crop acre, but the other
states are far below, South Carolina
having used $50 pounds per acre,
Georgia 2lS pounds, Alabama 21O
pounds, Florida, Mississippi and Ten
nessee each 200 pounds. Other states
used still less. Little commercial fer
tilizer is used west of the Mississippi
river.
North Carolina also used COM
mcrciai fertilizer on the highest per
centage of cotton crop acre-95 per
cent. In Virginia, it was used on 95
ger cent of the cotton crop area, in
South Carolina on 8S per cent, in
Georgia on 83 per cent, in Florida
IN 80 per cent, in Alabama on rs
percent, in Mississippi on 80 per
cent, in Tennessee 25 pei cent, in
Louisiana on 20 per cent, Arkansas
on ID per cent, and in Texas only on
90 per cent.
The cost of fertilizer per acre of
cotton using it, North Carolina again
led with an average of $635. In
Virginia the average per acre was
SG.l9, in South Carolina $4.12, in
Georgia 1923, in Arkansas $3.O2, in
Mississippi S2.95, in Alabama $2.92,
IN Louisiana $2.S5, in Texas $26S, in
Florida $2.65 and in Tennessee $2.O5.
Comparisons can not be made with
former years because this was the
first year this inquiry has been made
in it's present form.
