Most Farmers Say
Fertilizers Pay

Farmers themselves say that II
pays to fertilize, declares Leonard
Hegnauer, extension agronomist,
State College of Washington, after
analyzing a survey made by the
national fertilizer association in
Washington and "a other states.
In IS percent of the cases where
fertilizer was used farmers told the
survey takers that their crop had
a quicker start; and rs said the
crops matured earlier; an important
factor in regard to many crops.
About % percent of all the fer
tilizer users surveyed found that
fertilizers improved the market
quality of all cash crops; and so
percent of them said that fertilizers
improved the feeding quality of the
grains and hay.
Only liz percent stated that
fertilizer users said it was neces-
sity.
The farmers were definite that
they had received help from the COL
lege experiment stations and extern
sion services on Their fertilizer pro-
grams. Fifty-four percent of all the
farmers interviewed said they had
attended extension meetings or
demonstrations. and IS percent of
these had attained information of
value. Fifty-six percent of this
group received experiment station
bulletins.

Georgia's Big Crop

A 1910 Georgia tobacco crop very
close to a hundred million pounds
does not sound much like Federal
control. The figures, part estimates
and part actual, are not greatly at
variance with the totals OF 1889,
when there were no restrictions OF
flue-cured production.
The Federal Marketing Service has
estimated the years yield at &c.
100000 pounds, with actual reports
from a dozen OF the sixteen markets
showing 79,8O5, l45 pounds.
Even with this abundance, how
ever, prices were something like three
cents above last years season average,
md ran tc @I5.48 per hundred
pounds. Tobacco men who have been
on the Georgia markets have re-
turned here to report growers salts
fled with the returns from their
wears efforts, and with good sea-
son generally.
Tomorrow the selling season moves
further up the territory with Eastern
North Carolina markets opening. In
the meantime. the Border Belt IS
we'll on its way and at prices that
have Likewise proved pleasing t.
growers, as they did in Georgia.

dication OF the actual trend that may

slider the tactleSsness Of his re-
marks to the isolationist scion from
Montana.
Senator Wheeler's story is that Sir
George said, Il am responsible for
getting this country (America) into
the last war and l intend to get il
!, into this one"
Sir Georges account is that he said
he helped get this country into the
last war and 1 intend 10 present the
facts to the American people and let
! them decide if they should get into
this war"
Critics generally concur that il
doesn't make much difference which
way it was. And when l say critics
l don't SO much mean American
critics. The English and Canadian
groups decidedly are more incensed
with the old economist than Ameri-
can commentators are. Naturally SO.
The English recognize the danger
that such indiscretions aren't CAL
culated to improve their chances of
acquiring fleet Of our out-of-date
destroyers or of closing a deal for
American protection of their New
World islands. Canadians are afraid
of an unfavorable popular American
reaction against the mutually defen-
Sive Canadian-American arrange
ments now so rapidly progressing.
American isolationists, like Sem
ator Wheeler, contrariwise, were
somewhat pleased by Sir Georges
outspokenness. It supplied them with
some first rate AMMUNITION.
Mighty Poor Judgment.
The aged economists selection of
Senator Wheeler to express himself
to certainly was piece of very poor
Judgment If he'd picked some less
isolationistic statesman to talk to, the
latter might have tried to hush him
up. But any political baby could have
told him that the Montana solon
would give that chat all the unde-
sirable publicity he could pump into
it-and right on the senate floor,
whence it would do a maximum
amount of damage.
That one outburst, by itself alone, |
probably won't greatly matter in the !
long run. But they do say that Wash
ington's British ambassador, Lord |
Lothian, was on the verge of hys-
terics at the thought of a tour of the
whole United States by Sir George,
series Of similar speeches !
in dozens of cities. Or, if a number +
OF prominent Britons, even at home, ,
were to speak up likewise, and be ,
quoted on this side Of the ocean? Oh.
murder! The embassy shudders at
the idea.

The embassy did, indeed, hastily
order Sir George 10 pipe down, with
in a few minutes after Senator
Wheeler had told his story on Capt.
tol Hill. But Sir George is quite un-
manageable. Nevertheless, directly
after the warning, the venerable
chap passed out newspaper inter-
vieW-not quite as bad as his talk
with Wheeler. but sufficiently so to
scandalize his home embassy.
He'd hardly been heard FROM
through Senator Wheeler, before il
was suggested that he ought to be
deported, as an alien propaganda
His embassy didn't waste a second
in stating, unofficially, that the soon
er he's deported, the better the en-
bassy will like it.

The only top-notch English cores

mott Lewis of the London Times and
he hasn't told me what he's cabling.
Canadian reporters are thick here,
however. They're on the job cover
ing the Canadian-American mutual
defense dicker. I've seen the dis
patches quite a few of them are tele-
graphing to their papers. The things
they say about Sir George Paish are
aplenty. The mildeSt thing they call
h n is blanketyblank old dodo. He's
II and their version is that he's in
his second childhood.
England's interest in the matter is
as acute as Canadas, but the Limies
don't understand us as well as the
Canucks do. So Sir George makes the
Canucks hotter under the collar than
he does the LimieS.

Morehead's Lemon

After 4 trial Of several years
which has been something less thar
satisfactory from several angles
Morehead City'S Port Terminal Au-
thority is negotiating for LEASE OF
the properties to a Baltimore ship
ping concern. 1t follows successful
efforts of the State to lease its rail
road from GoldSborc to Moreheac
City. and the port authorities, like
the public railroad ownership, may
find this the best way out Of bad
situation.
Great things were predicted fol-
the Morehead ship terminals in ad-
vance and during the time conStruc-
ton was in progress. But actual OPP
Grafton has failed miserably to beal
out the optimism that was so freely
expressed at the time. Except fol-
the few ships that came in to take on
scrap iron to Japan and other foreign
countries, few cargo vessels have
found reason or profit in calling at
the terminals.
But at the time, the Federal gov
eminent readily consented to dump
a couple of million dollars of its easy
money into the project and the State
pledged security of its Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad as part
security. Both are now holding the
bag. and are seeking way to let go
of hot brick, or perhaps it might
more properly be termed a white ele-
plant. At any rate, the venture has
proved to be the lemon that some
practical onlookerS thought at the
time it would be.
With all the shipping facilities that
exist at Norfolk, to say nothing of
those in Wilmington, in neither of
which places accommodations have
been over-taXed, the Morehead prof.
ect never appeared to many to be as
sound as it was depicted. But More
head wanted the terminals, an en-
ergetic vote-hunting congressman de-
sired the good will, and a govern
ment till that was bursting with
abundant cash was ever willing to
let go Of some of it. And the job was
done
If the Baltimore, or any other,
shipping concern is willing to pay a
lease price that will get the terminals
out of the red, even to the extent
OF carrying charges, this may be the
best, possibly the only, way out.
Maybe private capital can perform
the miracle public ownership has
been unable to do, as has been the
case in the operation of the Old Null
let Line railroad between GoldSborC
and Morehead. Which is further ar
gument in favor of the practical
functioning of individual enterprise
as compared with State, or Federal or
local ownership, which is always
gummed with red tape and politics,
end with never any too much deter
miration toward economy.
