ATTORNEY GENERAL
CALLED IN ACTION
Fresident Wilson Directs Department
of Justice to Confer
With Hurley.
Washington. Investigation by the
depart merit of justice of the American
International Corporation's construction
of the government's big
fabricat u steel shipyard at Hog Is- !
land, Pa., was order today by President
Wilson with a view to criminal '
p: osocuti >.i of the facts develop moro |
than iK-'d ex ? nditure of govern-)
men! money.
At the snnie time Chairman Hurley
of the shipping board. who had
v- quested the move, irated that
t*.<? ccvperetih.'/s contacts for building
the y. rds and sli ps involving
many mi'lions of dollars, might he :
cancelled, vnieh was taken to mean
that the government might take over j
the yard, complete its constructi n
and build the ships itself. This st >p
has been urged by members of the
senate committee investigating ship
building.
The president asked for the investigation
in the following letter to Attorney
General Gregory:
"Mr. Hurley, of the shipping board,
has called my attention in som0 very
serious facts which have recently
been developed with regard to contracts
made in connection with the
shipbuilding program with the company
operating at Hog Island- They
are so serious indeed, that I do not
think that we can let them t>e taken
cnre of merely by public disclosure
and discuss ion. 1 would be very much
cMigcd if you would have some trustworthy
pre son in your department
get into conference wich Mr. Hurley
it'oout the whole matter with a view
l>! ir.Mmiiinij traiunui yi ui v.?*?-?.
lb- facts justify it."
CI Hirers Made Freely.
Charges of mismanagement and a
Veekless .spending of government
funds at Hog- Island have boon made
freely before the senate committee.
Witnesses have testified that the
yard, for which the shipping board is
putting* up all thc money, may cost
twice the su n of $21,000,000 carried
i.i original estimates. The slow pro;*
css ma le in construction of the
yard and ropo ts of loose management

From all indications the fertilizing J
element that will be hardest to obtain
next, year and for several years to
come is nitrogen, says T. E. Keitt,
chief of the soil and chemistry division
of Clemsort College. Potash and
available phosphoric acid are being
secured directly or indirectly from
different sources, while the organic
materials carrying nitrogen are being
much used to take the place of feeds
that can be released as human food.
jOxamples of this is the greatly increased
use of cottonseed meal, tankage
and blood as feeds. The organic
sources of nitrogen are being extensively
used in the manufacture of munitions.
Nitrate of soda, sulphate of
aoda, and even cyananiid, are scarcely
obtainable except at greatly advanced
prices, and it is impossible to
tell just how long this condition will
hold. The catch of fish lias been light
this year due probably to the use of
fishing Meets for transporting purposes.
But the farmer can solve his own
. nitrogen problem. By growing good
1 crops of legumes not only will a good
upply of nitrogen be added to the

soil but In very insoluble forms.
Further, land that is well supplied
with organic matter makes a better
use of ground phosphate rock.
The principal winter legumes
adapted to South Carolina are the
vetches and clovers, while in summer
seeding peas and beans give best results
as legume crops. Alfalfa is an
excellent nitrogen gatherer but la
rather expensive and sometimes difficult
to get started, and then must
remain on the land for three or four
years to give its full returns.
The idea that a large part of the
nitrogen fixed by the bacteria is stored
in the roots of the legume is wrong.
Experiments indicate that only six
per cent of the nitrogen in the eowi
pea plant is stored in the roots, 6.6
per cent in soybeans, eleven per cent
mi uit; units tn YtJirn, six per rent ior
crimson clover, and as much as
thirty-two per cent for red clover and
i forty-two per cent in case of alfalfa.
The stubble contains some nitrogen in
addition to that stored in the roots.
The amount of nitrogen taken up
into the plant is about two-thirds of
the total. In other words, one ton of
cowpeas or soybean plants which
analyze 2.5 per cent nitrogen will
contain fifty pound's total nitrogen
Two-thirds of this, or 2,2.7 pounds,
was taken up by the bacteria. This
amount is equivalent to nearly fortyone
pounds of ammonia, or the nitrogen
content of 1.000 pounds of a fertilizer
carrying four per cent ammonia.
Where the hay can he fed' to advantage
on the farm and the manure
carefully conserved and' applied the
farmer usually cures leguminous crops
for feed. When this is practiced It la
very difficult to return more than
sixty per cent of the nitrogen content
of the feed t? the land In the form of
manure. Generally a smaller percentage
Is recovered. Probably the best
method of procedure from the- standpoint
of soil fertility Is to gather thn
seed of the legume and- allow the remainder
of the plant to> atuy on the
soil. This may be practical enly In

CHANGED FOR FARMER I
The National Food Administration
; has given authority for a modifiestion
of the pounds for-pound law ?n
I order to give relief to the farmer in
i South Carolina who lias his own corn
ground locally. Much dissatisfaction
lias been caused among farmers, wo
felt that it was unreasonable to ask
them to buy northern or western
| meal when they had their own homo
| ground meal which they could use.
i There was no protest concerning reauction
of the consumption of flour,
but simply that the farmer did not
wish to buy meal from his store
| when he had better meal or grits at
home.
Under the news rule the farmer
can have hi.; corn ground by a miller,
who will give him a certificate. This
| certificate must be filed with fljjo
i.'v.vwii* }?* I lu> fiiT-inni" u'linvniitiitn !ir?
can buy an equal amount of flour,
not in excess of half a barrel.
This plan was recommended by
practically the* unanimous vote of tlm
| County Kood Administrators at their i^H
i meetiny in Columbia on the 4th hiI
slant, and has been advocated by a
I large number of prominent people l^H
! having knowledge of conditions iu
I South Carolina.
The National Administration was
by wire immediately consulted
I abeu-1 it, and on Saturday gave Ita
consent to the plan. For the inr<^.?
j mation of County Food AdininistraII
and food representatives over
| this State, millers and farmers, the
I To!! r.fjng is a description of the proI
codure necessary for fanners to ohJ
tain flour upon a miller's certificate.
j 'P.m farmer takes his corn to the
, riiir and has it ground'. He signs a
c t >1.'fielde which the millers will'
have. stating number in his family or
tenants for which lie buys, the
nvrint of flour he husr on hand; and*
-gveeing to use in his household'
qua! weights of Hour and substi jirtes.
Thereupon *lie miller signs a
certificate as to tile number of
p? unds oi' meal ground". This certificato
is then filed with the grocer, and
thereupon the farmer can buy ant
qual weight oV flour, but in no can*hi
excess of one-half barrel.
Tin's relieves the only difficulty
that has been encountered in Soutlh
Carolina.
There has been m> objection what>reve?*
