 She and the duke were profound ly concerned with the war, she said, and misses the former active part they played in it. But she could not say whether the duke might be called to a more active post later.
 'It all seems so far away and unreal from here," she said. "There at least we knew what was going on, even when not directly partici- pating in events. It's hard to con- centrate simply on houses right now"
 The duchess revealed that she had only saved two evening gowns and few simple dresses from her boulevard suchet home in Paris when she and the duke left before the German occupation.

Announcement of the Charlotte
area as another unit in the chain
of cities designated by the Feders

representatives of the FSCC an
local and state public officials, we.-

Under the standard plan of stamp
distribution to be used in the Char.
lotte area, eligible families will be
given the opportunity to buy orange
colored food stamps and to receive
free blue surplus food stamps in the
ratio Of SO cents worth for each
$1.00 worth of the orange stamps
purchased.
In the case Of some special groups
unable to buy the orange stamrs,
relief families will be eligible to re-
ceive the free blue surplus stamps
without having to buy the orange
stmps. Those in this group will get
the blue stamps on the basis of ap.
proximately so cents worth a week

FARMERS MAY CUT
FERTILIZER BILL
Are Advised To Switch To
Grade Of II To Fl Units
Of Plant Food
BY LOUIS III. WILSON
Editor N. G. Department
Of Agriculture

RALEIGH, Feb. 25. - Up 49, BY
switching from fertilizers containing
from IA to II units of plant food to
grades of II to 81 units, North Caro-
Ina farmers can reduce their 1916
fertilizer bill more than $1,000, 900.
This is the estimate of D. S. Col,
frame, assistant to the commissioner
ct agriculture. who said today that
a survey of fertilizer purchases OF
the past year reveals that growers
spent from IL to Is per cent more
money for low analysis fertilizer than
would have been required with 3
medium or high grade analyses"
ut is a certain fact that the ana.
lyses of fertilizers are being kept
at guaranteed Standards" Coltran.
emphasized. But, the fact remains
that the cost of mixing, bagging, dis,
tribution averages approximately ST.
a ton, regardless of the cost of the
product, and farmers must pay as
much distribution cost on low ana,
lyses as they pay on high analyses
grades.
For instance, a farmer who has
been using five tons of unrecom-
mended, low analyses fertilizer for
his crops may possibly reduce his
costs by eight or ten per cent and
save additional distribution charges
by changing TO a more concentrated.
high analyses, recommended pro.
duct"
Fertilizers are listed in terms OF
plant food units, with nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash being recog-
nized as the three more essential"
foods. Thus, a 4-8-4 fertilizer would
contain 16 units of plant food OF
four units of nitrogen, eight units
of phosphoric acid and four units OF
potash.
"A 1874 and a 5-10-5 are both
recommended grades for cotton and
corn" Coltrane explained. "Foul
tons of 5-10-5 will contain as much
plant food as five tons of asa.
BASED on the 1910 fertilizer price
list, four tons of 5-1O-5 at $28.73 pei
ton would cost the farmer $114.92
while five tons of 4-S4 at $25 a ton
would cost $125. Thus by buying
the higher grade of fertilizer, the
farmer would save $10.0S or 81
per cent on every $500 invested in
fertilizer.
A 2-S4 grade is recommended fol
peanuts and so is 1926, bit three
tons Of 2-84 at $20.95 would cost
$62.S5 compared with S.12-6 at s26.Ss
which would amount to $52.87, or 1f
per cent less than the lower analysis
product"

Blue Mold Fight Plans

RALEIGH, Feb. 25.-Dr. Luther
Shaw, extension plant p%athologist at
State college, issued a warning to
tobacco growers today to have their
equipment ready to fight off possible
blue mold attacks in their plant
beds.
For the past several years, this
deadly intruder has done heavy
damage to tobacco seedlings, en
much, in fact, that growers have be.
gun planting excess bed space to
compensate for losses.
DR.. Shaw said that only three
treatments for controlling blue mold
can be recommended as effective.
They are: Fumigation with benzol
and observation-disclosures, and a red
copper oxide spray. Almost positive
control was given where the first
two were used properly, and a
moderate control in the case of
spraying.
Moisture, temperature, and other
conditions were unfavorable for de-
velopment of blue mold in 1888, so

Huffman Reviews Weeks
Activities In Columbus

o. C. Coleman, who has been
farming and raising chickens all his
life thus far, in the Delco section,
has had quite a bit of bitter exper-
fence with hen hawks, but last week
one put it over on him worse than
of all previous hawks.
This particular hawk discovered
that Mr.. Coleman had a hen that
had eight fat and fluffy biddies.
They fed close to the house, and in
stead Of going out into the field af-
ter other biddies, the hawk struck
repeatedly throughout the week, at
those biddies nea rthe house. She
made nine trips, and carried away
the eight biddies and a wad G.
feathers out of the old hen.
Robert Lee has had a nice hot
house built and one of the first Of
a variety of plants to be grown in
it, is pepper. His tenant, Charlie
Holloway, told us that the pepper
seeds are now being sown.
Fl. W. Rooster, who was amrly
prepared for tobacco curing last
year, told us last week that he was
better pleased with the barn that he
has built on his farm near Acme,
than any that he has ever seen or
used. He said that he was able to
use a good deal less fuel, and obtain
ed better results. Mr.. Rooster be-
lieves in having a low barn, with a
brick floor, while we have found
other tobacco growers of Columbus
county who believe that higher
barns are better,
