Utah, the land where tabled cow

Although census bureau figures for
1921 showed 588 establishments en-
gagged in the manufacture of fertilizer
in the United States, the report de
clared, the American Agricultural
Chemical Company dominates the in
dusAry in the northern section of the
country and the Virginia Carolina
Chemical Company in the south. Their

production, and the commission added
that they, with the International Ag-
ricultural Corporation, F. S. Royster
Guano Company, Armour Fertilizer
Works, Swift and Company and the
Baugh companies and their subsidi-
aries produced and sold about 65 per
cent of the fertilizer used in the Unit
ed States in 1921, as compared with
SO per cent in 1916.
The large companies, the report
continued, dispose of the bulk of their
product through retailers by means of
the consignment form of contract. The
seven companies in 1921 produced and
sold 1888 of the 100000 tons of
mixed fertilizers manufactured in that
year, and emitting the Swift business,
which the commission said appeared
to be only a division OF Swift & Com
pany, packers, their combined capital
cation was more than $200,000,000
with 167 subsidiaries under their con-
troll.
The report emphasized that the
tenant farmer of the south, where
more fertilizer is used than in any
other section and the majority OF
farms are operated by tenants with
tenancy increasing, needs legislation
to extend his credit facilities for the
purchase of fertilizers.
The commission went exhaustively
into the credit situation as ain import
ant factor in the industry during the
period If investigated.
The collapse in the price Of farm
products in the fall of 1920 made it
necessary for the fertilizer manufact-
urers to carry over many of their cred
it customers until the next year and
this, with general financial conditions,
curtailed the usual extension OF credit
facilities to the fertilizer user in both
1921 and 1922 In 1922 it is estimated
that 90 per cent of the business done

MILLIONS FOR SOUTH
DESPITE THE WEEVIL
DIXIE WILL RECEIVE $500,000,-
900 MORE FOR PRODUCTS
THAN YEAR AGO.

ATLANTA, Ga.-There is general
recognition of the prosperity of the
south-a prosperity that has come de-
spite the boil weevil and its destruc
ton of large part of the cotton area.
This is the opinion expressed today
by business men in Georgia, manufac-
turers, bankers and. heads of various
industries, following thu publication
of the monthly business review OF the
federal reserve bank. Leaders IN all
lines of business, commenting on the
banks report which is usually mark
ed by conservatism and thOroughness,
unhesitatingly declare, which the bank
points out, that conditions are more
nearly normal now than they have
been at any time since the outbreak
of the world war.
Every state in the union, except
Massachusetts, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Mexico and Washington, &C
cording to national reports, show in
creases in crop values.
Perhaps the most notable improve
ments in any given region has taken
place in the south, as shown by Geor-
gia's commissioner of agriculture, J.
]. Brown, and other leading farm ex-
perts who have made recent studies
OF farm figures. Although cotton was
a light crop last season the south
stands to receive from five hundred
millions to six hundred millions OF
dollars more actual cash than year
ago, Commissioner Brown says.
Real Influx of Money. =
Moreover, leading agriculturists say,
the south's income represents a real
influx of money and not merely trad
ing between farmers or groups with
in territory, it is asserted. The aver
age price of cotton per pound on
farms 238 cents on December /,
1922, as compared with 16.2 cents on
December l, 1921.
This has brought the south into a
position of considerable importance in
the country's business. Not only is it
providing a greatly improved market
for manufactured products, but there
is little doubt, it is stated here, that
increased consumption by the cotton
belt of pork products has played a
very material part in the sustained
price of hogs and corn.
1t would seem that the boil weevil
served at least one good purpose in
calling attention to the south as a
farming section. Not only its cotton
but other crops are displayed in large
headlines throughout east and west.

TEXAN GIVES UPSHAW
RIGHT TART TALK
GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN ASK
ED THAT REMARKS BE
STRICKEN FROM RECORD.

WASHINGTON, D. CA verbal
clash between Representative Upshaw,
of Georgia, and Blanto, of Texas,
both democrats, threw the house into
a parliamentary wrangle on the last
night of the session, and ended in the
expugning from the record of remarks
which Mr.. Upshaw said questioned
his motives.
Speaking in opposition to resolu-
ton for a joint congressional inves-
tigation of the subject of reforesta-
ton, Mr. Blanton charged it was an
other ''junket."

Representative Upshaw protested
against the language used by the Tex
an, and it finally was stricken from
the record by a vote of the house,
which refused to allow Mr.. Blanton
to proceed further.

CONGRESS GOES JL!NKET2NG AS SOON AS GAVEL FALLS
JUST FIGURE ON TAXES
BRITISHERS WILL PAY

LONDON.-Stanley Baldwin,
chancellor of the exchequer, re-
plying to a question in the house
of commons today, said that on
the basis of the sixty-two year
term for paying the debt to Amer
lea the payments on the debt
would be as follows;
An immediate cash payment of
$4,128,085, an annual payment of
$161, 100000 for ten years, an an
nual payment Of $184,000,000 for
fifty years and final payment of
$118,481,130, or an aggregate of
2,246,000,000 pounds at par of ex-
change and 4 per cent more at
4.6S. These figures, he said, had
no meaning except in relation to
4he sixty-two-year term. If Great
Britain paid more speedily the
aggregate would be reduced.

RUM FLEET is BACK
CUSTOM OFFICIALS WILL TRY
TO STARVE THEM OUT BY

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Preceding the
swallows that travel on wings, the
Atlantic ocean off the northern New
Jersey coast was visited today by a
new variety of harbinger of spring.
The establishment OF a rum feet
after several weeks of absence was
reported last night. Six steamers and
FIVE schooners were the visitors.
The buccaneers may ultimately be
forced. to subsist on their cargoes if
customs officials obtain a ruling from
the treasury department to stop food
from being ferried to them from the
shore.
Officials are intent upon starving off
the armada if they can arrest the food
purveyors as conspirators to violate
the anti-smuggling and Volstead laws.
Observers at Highland reported
sighting crews of the alcohol armada
practicing with weapons at targets in
anticipation of raids by rum pirates.

compared with less than rs per cent

being unable to buy on credit basis
as usual, was forced to do without

but that the eagerness of manufactur-

in forcing prices downward. At the
