WITH the widely prevalent prae-
W tice of applying quickly available
heterogeneous fertilizers TO apple trees,
have come questions as to the compare
tive value of the several forms ON the
market In making choice. several fac
tors must be considered besides that OF
actual effects OH growth and yield OF
fruit, points out H. f. knowlton, horti-
culturist at the West Virginia Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, Morgantown.
Among the most important factors TO
consider are comparative costs per unit
of nitgrogen, mechanical conditions as
affecting ease of application, and effects
upon the soil reaction.
Four fertilizer experiments comparing
nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia
in their effects on apple trees were I'M
dcrtaken by the department OF hort'cul
ture. Experiment j was started in 1922
with 32-year-old Rome trees i'll Pleas
ants County. Early application OF both
fertilizers were superior to those made
at bloom. Nitrate of soda was found
superior to sulphate of ammonia when
both were applied at bloof. When APP
piled 10 to IS days before there were
no significant differences in results OBJ
tanned from the two fertilizers.
No Differences Nosed
Experiment ii was begun in 1870
with 36-year-old Rome trees in the same
orchard. Fertilizers were also applied
10 to S days before bloom. No differ
ences in growth or in yield were OBJ
tanned.
Experiment Ill was begun in 1925
on 9-year-old .Jonthathan trees in Berk
eley County. Fertilizers were applied at
time of bloom. Nitrate of soda was
fount significantly superior to sulphate
of ammonia in both growth and fruit

Farm Bureau Defends
AAA Processing Tax

Early in December, oral argument
was heard by the United States Supreme
Court in the famous Hoosac Mills case
testing the constitutionality of the pro-
cessing tax feature of the AAA.
A I16-page written brief was filed
by the Hoosac Corporation attacking
the process tax features of the act.
Taxation without representation, ,"
"insidious effort" congress has abdi-
Gated" and "bureaucrats, were among
the phrases denouncing the AAA, in
the document filed by the company.
The Corporation brief asserted the
amendments were fraud, in essence,
upon the powers declared to congress
by the people,.
The filing of this brief was followed
by friend of the court brief filed
by the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton defending the processing taxes and
holding them comparable to protective
tariffs for industry.
Farm Bureau lawyers maintained
that the taxes are intended to provide
for the general welfare, and asserted
that the determination of congress as
to what constitutes the general welfare
is one for which courts will rarely, if
ever, substitute their own judgment"

1884. And this comparison was rough
ly true for the first ten months of 1885.
Early in 1885 quiet efforts were
started in the Department of State to
persuade japanese exporters to volun-
tarily limit their shipments to this
country.
During the first ten months of 1885
the net gain in importations of cot
ton cloth from all countries was actually
less than the increase in Japanese i'm
ports. This indicates that the Japanese
gains have been made at the expense of
other foreign supplies.
American cotton growers are particu-
larly concerned with this situation since
government figures show that japanese
consumption of American cotton fell off
100000 bales last year. Japan is turn
ing to India as source of cotton. Total
cotton consumption in Japan increased
sharply last year, in spite of the large
decrease in purchases of American cot
ton.

Cuban Trade Agreement in so far as it
affected the Florida vegetable industry.
George N. Feek, Special Advisor to
President Roosevelt on foreign trade
and president of two federal Export
Import Banks, resigned his federal po-
sitions on December and.
Peek was known to be in sharp dis
agreement with the Secretary of State
Hull's foreign trade policies and espe-
cially the Canadian trade pact.
Under the agricultural concessions in
the Canadian agreement, Canada re-
duces the duties applicable to the United
States on large number of fruits and
vegetables, livestock products, poultry
and eggs. The principal concessions
made by the United States are in the
form of duty reduction on cattle, cream
and certified seed potatoes. In each Of
these cases, the duty reduction applied
only to a special quantity of imports.
Other Canadian agriculture products
upon which duties were reduced includ-
ed cheese, live and dressed poultry,
horses, grass and other forage crop
seeds, maple sugar ,turnips, hay and GER
tain fruits.
In a release for publication, the
United States Department of Agricul
ture states "a large part of the decline
in our agricultural exports to Canada
from $5o,ooo,ooo to SIS 100000 in the
past five years should be recovered in

Trade Agreement Meets With

Throughout December, the Reciproc-

United States and Canada signed No

siderable controversy among farm lead
ers and others interested i'll agriculture.
immediately on the heels of the sign

agreement.

agreement.
Secretary Wallace, commenting on
the Canadian pact said in part there
are few farm groups which will fear
their being held by the new agreement,
but actually in these cases the tariff re-
auctions are moderate, and in addition,
there are quota restrictions of such
nature that imports from Canada can
not affect the American price structure
by more than I percent. This small
effect in my judgment will, as a rule,
be more than offset by the increased pay
rolls of industries established along the
northern border and in the northeastern
states"

tiles, restriction of holding companies,
extension of rural electrifcation reduc-
ton in rural unemployment, rigid econ
omy in Government and a balanced
budget, and the elimination of political
influences from the administration OF
farm organizations.
The Grange went on record oppos-
ing reciprocal trade practices or favored
national treaties using industrial prod
ucts to the disadvantage of agriculture
and especially condemned the reciproc-
ity treaty with Canada.
Opposes Resettlement
The Grange also opposed the Reset
Element Program except when carefully
considered and guided by sound common
sense" 1t also opposed reduction CT
present tariff rates on seed potatoes, hay
and other farm staples.
President Franklin d. Roosevelt,
member of the Grange for quarter
century, sent a personal message of
greeting to the Sacramento convention.
Ask AAA Amendments
In regard to the AAA, the Grange
asked that the act be amended to in
crease farm control and eliminate bu-
reaucratic methods 1t also asked thar
reward be given farmers for grow
ing crops for which there is a shortage,
and for development of new crops;
crop insurance for thrifty farmers to the
extent of return equal to seed and
labor investment; prevention of crop
signers from growing crops of which
there is a surplus.
Permanent features of a definite ag-
ricultural program endorsed by the
Grange looked to the development OF
cooperative marketing; diversion of agri-
cultural products to industrial uses;
sound land use program with definite
efforts to check soil erosion; reforesta-
ton, and the debenture method to open
foreign markets.

WHAT WILL
THE TOWNSENnITES DO?

There is no more interesting event go
ing on in the news of today than the
Townsend convention at Cleveland. This
union of O.ARP. delegations number
ing from 5000 to $4,000 according 10
estimates, may hold in its hands the out
come Of the oncoming national election
and. by the same token, determine what
transpires at the next national leglsla-
ture.
At any moment, action may be taken
as to what this organization will do III
the national campaign. One thing Is Ger
tain-that the ToWnsenditeS will not
endorse the New Deal. Their TRADES and
denouncmentS are quite definite
doubtless resulting from the Townsend
investigation which, they believe, was
persecution of their leader.
Chiefly. their decision rests between
~ Union with Lemke and Coughln,
into third party; (2) declaring them
selves third party Cor a fourth) with
out Coughlin or Lemke; or (3) lineup
with no party but use their freela1ce
voting power in the hope of forcing more
congressmen-converts into the next le-
gislature, regardless of party.
From this distance, it would appear
that if Townsendism wishes to slip
backward. it should pursue one Of the
first two alternatives and that from the
angle Of practically it should follow
the third course of action. With mem-
bership composed of Republicans and
Democrats it would only split itself III
twain were it to do other than remain
independent of present party divisions
Politicians are eyeing carefully the
claims that in many communities the
Townsendites have sufficient vote to de-
eide who,will go to congress. Many will
watch with conflicting emotions whe-
ther the organization decides to use that
power. or take the chance of becoming
an "also ran" party.

THE JOKER
IN THE DECK

Next November, voters will be called
upon to vote their expression direct ON
many questions Apparently there Will
be about eighteen or nineteen OF these
though that is a guess.
There is one especially which we
should all decide now to vote NO on:
That is the measure termed Repeal Of
The Sales Tax.
Do not be deceived by the titlel
The measure provides that the sale
tax be repealed AND A SINGLE TAA
BE INITIATED TO PLACE ALL TAN
ES AGAINST REAL ESTATE!
There NAV be many who would like
to see the sales tax repealed-but very
few indeed who would ever wish to see
the single tax go into effect.
Though of the single taX-an ancient
theory-belongs to a bygone day. Long
since it has been disprOved. Everyone
now realizes what a calamity 1t would
be to make real estate pay all taxes, or
virtually all taxes. Anyone can see
that populaces would live in house trail
ers: farmers 90 bankrupt; home owners
give back the homes. 1t is such an aD-
solutely impossible and impractical plan
that no one could give it serious thought.
How it could receive sufficient sigma
tories to get on the ballot remains
mystery. Time and again it has been
voted down and time and again, the
zealots or fanaticists bring it up again
this time with the misleading sugar coat
ing "Repeal Of The Sales Tax"
It is not too far in advance to jot
down the mental note to vote mo-
and spread the word among your friends
lest they be misled by the name and
thus cast their vote in favor of catastro-
phe.
