WEED FERTILIZER
AFFECTED BY WAR
Conflict Threatens To Cut Off
Supply Of Sulphate Of
Potash Magnesia

RALEIGH, March 24.-The Eu.
ropean war has taken away thu
Ill cured tobacco growers best
foreign customer, Great Britain
and now 1t threatens to cut off thu
supply of n of the vital element,
OF tobacco fertilizer, sulphate o,
potash-magnesia, according to E. Y.
Floyd, extension tobacco specialist
and AAA executive officer of State
college. 1t will be easier to replace
the fertilizer element, however
than to find a new export customer
for flue cured leaf, he says.
Most tobacco fertilizers" Floyd
declared, have carried sulphate OF
potash-magnesia in recent years,
and the principal source of this
material has been Germany. If the
war continues, it is almost a GER
tainty that the supply will be cut
off when manufacturers use up
the amount they have on hand.
However," the farm leader con.
tinued, "magnesia limestone is
available in this country, and it is
the next best source of magnesia,
needed to produce quality tobacco.
The only drawback is that the
magnesia in limestone is in carbon.
ate form. which is not as readily
available as a plant food as the
sulphate of magnesia, which is in
oxide form"
Floyd advised North Carolina
farmers to apply moderate amounts
of magnesium limestone, say 1900
to 1900 pounds to the acre, this
year on land where they plan to
grow tobacco in 1871. eff it can
be applied Immediately, it might
do the 1910 crop some good, but
the best results from limestone are
usually obtained the second year."
he explained.
Lime is available to any farmer
in the state through the AAA grant
of aid plan, by which the material
is delivered Immediately and the
cost is deducted from 1910 agricul.

plying the lime and carrying out

Acreage For Green Wraps Ex'

The Carolinas
BY GUY A. CARDWELL
General Passenger Agent
Coast I inc Railroad Co


According to recent reports from
the field in the Carolinas, tomato
acreage for shipment Of green
wraps, the ripe tomatoes to be sold
to canning factories, will be subs
stantially increased this year. This
situation is due largely to high
prices paid last season and to ad.
verse weather conditions in Janu-
ar. reported from tomato districta
in south Florida and Mississippi.
In growing tomatoes in the Caro-.
linas for shipment as green wraps
observed to improve the chances
for harvesting a heavy crop Of good
fruit early in the season. These
practices are:

grown. There are several good va.
rieties adapted to our conditions.

matoes.
2. Early planting of seed beds
to have strong plants for planting
in the open as soon as danger Of
frost has passed. The plants should
be stocky, sturdy and dark green.
Spindling, tall, yellowish plants are
not worth planting.
open heavily, but not too heavily.
The Marglobe is a variety subject
to rank growth if fortified too
heavily. Most growers in North
Carolina use from 500 to 1000
pounds of fertilizer per acre. How
ever, the department Of horticul-
ture, North Carolina State College
of Agriculture, recommends the use
of a 4-S-6 fertilizer at the rate of
1900 to 1900 pounds per acre, at
least half of which is to be put un-
der the plants and the rest applied
as a side dressing.
4. Cultivation should be shallow.
for deep blowing destroys many

5. Control of insects and diseases.

trolled in the plant bed and the
fields, often low yields or crop
failures result. Control information

stone, the disaster which engulfs
others, cannot leave me untouched.
For all of us are standing this
day before God. If each one is pre-
pared to assume his part of the
responsibility, if each is aware of
how life touches life and makes
us all dependent upon others, then
we assert the covenant that means
life to all. That covenant empOW-
erS each to stand up, with head
erect, and to rise to his highest
and nObleSt and to discover his
best. In that sense, it is still true
that we stand all of us directly
before God to choose life and bless
ing. Our social bond is the incen-
tive to seIf-respect. Even those of
humblest calling and lowest So
cial position must be included in
the covenant if each would stand
and hold his head high.
The Bible covenant is our bond
of union, our unifying life-purpose,
and our perpetually renewed pur-
pose and way of life. The covenant
is a pledge in which all share in
the brotherhood of Israel and in
the continuity of tradition. The
covenant must be entered in o
freely, even without expectation
of immediate and tangible reward,
but as the measure of devotion and
integrity and life-purpose. It is
the law on our inward parts, and
the measure of common response
bility and quest.
To Israel, it is told that God
showed two scenes: the first of &C.
henna (pOwer of evil and the do
miniOn of the nations; the second
scene was of the Revelation of the
Moral Law and its Temple service
OF devotion. Said God to Israel:
Remain true to the covenant, keep
awe as sacred the moral law and
its practice, and you escape the
penalty of the doom. Violate the
moral law, and that doom can be
either of extinction or of subju-
cation. And in each generation,
Israel is to renew that bond of
union, that strong link to moral
purpose, that eternal declaration
that my security grows out of the
security and peace of my fellows.
Thus the covenant becomes the
Iife-blOOd of the group.

WISDOM
of the
TAIN I'D
The Praise of
The Creator
BY MORRIS KRAMER

''There is an old story invented
by the sages and handed down by
memory from age to age. They
say, when God had finished the
world, He asked one of the angels
if aught were wanting on land or
on sea, in air or in heaven. The
angel answered that all was per-
feet; one thing only he desired
speech, to praise Gods works, or
recount t h e m, which would be
their praise. The sincerity of truth
would be their most perfect praise.
And the Father approved the an
gels words, and not long after ap-
peared the race, gifted with the
muses. and with song. This is the
ancient story, and, in cOnsOnance
with it's spirit, say: 1t is Gods
peculiar work to benefit, and His
creatures work to give Him
thanks. "-PhiIO JudaeuS.
Speech, according to the story
in the passage above, was the
final gift that God gave to man.
When God gave speech to man,
at the angels suggestion, it was
presumed that his speech would
be sincere. Man would show his
appreciation of this great faculty
and praise God. For when man
possessed speech he had the great
est blessing of life. However, the
question as to whether he has
made the proper use of this great
gift is confusing. On the contrary,
it seems that he has made the
wrong use Of it.
The records show that the evil
that has been done by the tongue
is incaIcuIable. Instead of prais-
ing God for the good things on
the earth, many men have forgot
ten about God altogether, and have
been concerned only in their own
selfish interests in life. These are
the persons who perhaps believe
one thing and say another, who
fIatter and deceive other persons
who can be of help to them in ma
terial matters. Because of their
derOgatOry remarks, they have
brought prejudice and hatred in
the world, and mankind every
where has to suffer because of the
consequences of their evil speech.
Friction in their own affairs and
war, on a large scale, have re-
suited because of the slanderOus
use of the tongue. Propaganda has
come to mean the distortion and
Misrepresentation of facts, and the
sincerity of truth, which, accord
ing to the legend, was to praise
worthy things, has become so rare
that human beings are perplexed
even when the truth is acknOw-
lodged by competent witnesses.
It would seem possible, however,
that those who have strayed from
the path of virtue, who do not ap-
J preciate the benefits they have re-
ceived from God, Who, among 9TH
er things that He distributed to
them, also gave them the great
gift of speech, may still receive
Gods mercy if they turn from
their evil ways and repent.
PhiIO Judaeus said: cit is Gods
peculiar work to benefit, and His
creatures work to give Him
thanks"
