SHANNON, Manager I M Prosperty Through Chemical Industry Atlanta, Jan. 31.?Permanent prosperity in the iSouth will be reached through the chemical industry, Dr. Charles H, Herty, Savannah, chemist told the Association of Southern Agricultural "Workers here tonight. Discussing the importance of the chemical industry, Dr. Herty said that by buying Southern fertilizers, Southern farmers would not only do their bit toward supporting the industry but would help themselves. The South, he said, can supply its farms with potash, phosphate and nitrogen. "No question," the scientist said, haa ever been raised as to the quality or the price of products made right here in the South." Elaborating on the importance of the American nitrogen industry. Dr. Herty said "it has a double significance, for it constitutes the most substantial or all arms for self defense. "To insure a domestic nitrate industry, our federal government has spent millions of dollars for scientific research on the subject, and our chemical industries have invested millions of dollars right here in the Soutih." 'Speaking of his work in developing products from Southern pine. Dr. Herty said: "We have now made newsprint of greater strength as to burst, tear and tensile than any other commercial newsprint manufactured m the world." Urging that the South spend its money on its own chemical products instead of buying from outside markets, the speaker said. "I have in mind particularly the attracting of capital to the South for the development of a great white paper industry. He told of the successful manufacttrra^of rayon from bleached sulphite pulp young Southern pine. "Slash pine," He-.**id, "is a cash crop and for that reason will constitute a new fiscal program for our farmers who heretofore have relied solely on cotton, a seasonal crop. Here are millions of acres of abandoned farm land on which pines will grow with the greatest ease and with no special care in cultivation. Preston E.

He produced 5,200 pounds of lint cotton of 1 1-32 inch staple on five acres. "I feel," said Mr. Rollings, "that the results I secured were due io several factors. I secured the very best possible planting seed. 1 planted on a rich gray loam soil. I mixed my own fertilizer, putting in materials I thought would produce the best results. I used two side-dressings of Chilean Nitrate of Soda to promote early and heavy fruiting." Mr. Rollings in preparing his land first put 22 loads of stable manure' on five acres. Next he placed under the crop on the five acres a mixture made up of 1,200 pounds of cotton seed meal. 1,000 pounds of acid phosphate. 800 pounds of manure salts, 100 pounds of Chilean Nitrate of Soda and 800 pounds of Agricultural limestone.
