RURAL CREDIT ACT
CAUSES MUCH DEBATE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.--A sit
uation which had some earmarks OF
an incipient filibuster resulted in the
senate Tuesday when Republicans re-
newed their efforts to expedite pend
ing rural credits legislation. Several
attempts to reach an agreement as to
a time for closing debate having fail
ed suggestions of night sessions were
reiterated by the majority.
Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis
consin, co-author Of the bill under
consideration, broke into series of
set addresses, from the Democratic
side to protest against the apparent
policy Of delay. There was grave
danger, he said, the senate would
be unable to render assistance vitality
needed by the farmers. Mr.. Len
roots protest followed a speech by
Senator Harrison, Mississippi, criti-
cising reductions which had been
made, and an address by Senator
Ashurst, Arizona, regarding the me-
cessity for some new method of
adopting constitutional amendments.
Senator Fletcher, Florida, who had
taken the lead in questioning propon
ents Of the Lenroot-Anderson bill,
said there was no doubt of its ulti-
mate passage, but asserted there
could be no justification for extreme
haste in reaching a vote. Senator
Harrison concurred in this view,
warning the majority that mo strong
arm method" could be employed with
out causing trouble. He suggested
that a vote be taken next Tuesday
but Mr.. Lenroot declared he expect
ed decision before that time.

PRESENT TREATY

LAUSANNE, Jan. 31.-lBy Asso-
ciated Pres. 1.-THE long heralded
final" session of the Near East
conference is being held in the
quaint little chateau of Ouchy today.
The Turks, have the answer to the
existing problem; but nothing def

prediction of what the morrow has
in store. The Turks are furious over
the treaty as it stands.
'Have you read this treaty?' ask
ed one Ottomon delegate of the cor
respondent as he emerged from his
study last evening, pale and seeming
ly exhausted. "Well," he added,
"look at the economic capitulations.

FERTILIZER NEEDED
TO PRODUC ECOTTON
George o. Marshall, Commerce
Head, Suggests Proper Mix
ture For Sumter Lands

George o. Marshall of the Ameri-
Gus Chamber of Commerce offers
some suggestions to the farmers of
Sumter county concerning the fer
tilizer to be used in raising cotton
under boil weevil conditions.
"If we ever needed to use fertili-
zers, it is under boil weevil condi-
tions," said Mr.. Marshall. Farmers
can get double the value from fer
tilizers now than they did when cot
ton was easy to produce"
81 would suggest that farmers use
on average Sumter county land the
following fertilizer mixture: 800
pounds acid phosphate, 100 pounds
nitrate of soda, so pounds cotton
seed meal and so pounds of manure
salt.
This gives a mixture of 500
pounds to be used per acre under
the seed. In addition | would sug-
gest using 100 pounds per acre i'm
mediately after chopping out the cot
ton. The 80 pounds of cotton seed
meal is used in the mixture for no
other purpose than to get mechani-
cal condition from the fertilizer to
make it easy to use in the distributor,
the acid phosphate, soda and manure
salt being of a damp nature.
"On red land where potash has
been used in previous years, would
suggest leaving off the potash. 1t is
Just as well to get potash from KANT
as from manure salt, but tnantre salt
has been slightly cheaper per unit
than kainit.
"Ihs mixture will give about a
l2-4 and 6-10-2 mixture. Then 100
pounds c< soda added as a side dress.
er will increase the percent of nitro
gen.
Select for seed an early matur-
ing variety. Some good varieties
are Wanamaker's Cleveland Big Bill
Piedomnt Cleveland Big Boil and
College No. /.
However, if the land is badly in
tested with wilt, it will pay to. use
wilt-resisting variety. The Toole
varieties are good in this respect"
