Atlanta, Ga/ j- February. — It would be a mistake^ to use cotton teed as fertilizer, as some farmers are talking of doing, according to J. N. Harper, several years in experiment station work in the South, and now director of the Soil Improvement Committee. Con tinuing A 6 says: “It would be a mistake for two rea sons:, t'irs.t, the 5outh would be de prived of a great wealth producing substance—cottonseed oil; and sec ond, cotton seed are not the best form of "fertiliser to apply. “On, the first point, while it la un fortunate that the vegetable oil market is off and the oil miller cannot offer what the seed Tire really worth, It is better to accept what the miller can afford to give than to allow the oil to be destroyed when it is needed so much especially in starving Europe. “To use cotton seed as a fertiliser is to throw away the oil of the seed, for oil 4s not plant food; in fact, it is believed that it will retard plant growth. “Cotidh~seed contain^plant food, but when the seed are applied, it is not possible to scatter it so as to feed the crop properly. It puts the plant food on the land in lumps as repre sented by the seed. “It takes the seed a long time to decay and become plant food. In tact, no great amount of the plant food In cotton seed is ever actually used by the crop. A* evidence of this, we cite Farmers’ Bulletin 28S of the United States Department of Agriculture, page 8, from which we quote: ‘The seeds are incased in hulls which must de cay before the crop can utilise the -plant food in them, and the kernels contain oil which is supposed to retard their decomposition, so that consider? able moisture is required to decompose tbe seed and make available the plant food. In case of a very dry season, it does not become available fast enough to supply the, crop, and no doubt a portion of it fails to become available until after the crop matures.’ “A table on page 9 of \his bulletin shows that a difference of 303 lbs. of seed cotton per acre in favor of cotton seed meal as compared with cotton seed, was obtained in a teat 1 where twice as much cotton seed was ^ UB<*d as meaf. • ‘SouthJCarollna Experiment Station tests and teats of four .other southern states show that a pound of a_well 1 balanced mixed fertilizer will produce a pound and more of seed cotton. A test in Alabama shows that it took S pounds of cotton seed to produce a pound of seed cotton. iy a reduction in rates. Ultimately ;• readjustment of basic wages will be required. Meantime it Is to the Inter ests of all concerned, including labor, tfiat the rules and working conditions 'hall be made conducive to the highest efficiency in output per man. T LflascainliiCLOrDe. Irreparable WheuJ wages have been too -low the harm done has been offset by retroac tive increases. lA>sse§ of railway net operating income aroIrreparable. You rannqi make retroactive toxupjgrow the savings that should have been made today. ' • -. The board cannot possibly write the rules and working conditions of every, railroad In this country and adjust' them equitably to varying geograph ical,' operating and" social conditions. It rests entirely with the board te Jetemitne whether this whole situa tion shall drift into chaos, and or derly procedure become impossible ex cept .at the price of railrpatl bank ruptcy, financial shock and still wider unemployment. The Labor Board can prevant this sataatrophe by declaring that the Na tional agreemanta, rulea and working sondltiona coming over from the war period are terminated M once; that the question of reamonable and eco nomical rules and working conditions 'hall be remanded to negotiations be tween each carrier an*d Ita own em ployees; and that as the basis for such negotiations, the agreements, rules, and working conditions in effect on £aeh railroad as of December 31, 1917, ihall be re-established. If the board will do thla, the Labor Committee of the Association of Rail way Executives will urge upon ev ery railroad company a party to De cision No. 2, that no proposal for the reduction of basic wages shall be made within tbe next succeeding nine ty days. Tjrfs will afford an oppor- fcjuiftty to* gauge the economies which can be accomplished through more efficient hiles and working conditions. It qlsp will afford additional time in which to realize the benefits of a further decline in the cost of living. Relief Imperative Ind Equitable .
