THE FERTILIZER LAWS MAT RECEIVE CHANGES ON ACCOUNT OF SHORTAGE OF GERMAN POTASH USE MORE SEED Is ?the Advice Given. By; Some j Who Regard It As a Substitute -j Columbia, S. C.J Sept 16. -?? looks as iff the legislature when ii meets tv.Ttl In e~tra session le, go?u? lc Lave > io something in regard to the read justment of the fertilizer laws to meet the situation caused by the cutting off' of tbc dorman supply of potash. A few, days ago Commissioner Watson of tho State Department of Agricul ture received from Commissioner Kolb of Alabama a letter in which Capt. Kolo Bald: "The war in Europe*has to a great extent cut off the -apply of potash that has' heretofore entered largely into the making of a complete fertiliser. The factories are up against it as the laws of our Stato (and I presume other states have similiar laws), provide that a complete fertilizer sball not contain les.-- than 14' per cent of available plant food; that 1B: Soluble phosphoric acid, nitrogen, potash. If the laws are to be complied with some reli?f must be given tb-th?-factories. Therefore I write to ask your opinion of Calling a meeting of the Commis sioners of Agriculture of the South ern ' states', to meet at the capitol In Montgomery at some early date yet to be Axed so that this question can be discussed and if possible arrange some feasible plan whereby the" fer tilizer factories may not be penalized. Mr. Watson has replied to Commis-, Bioner Kolb stating that the enforce ment of the fertilizer laws In this State do not come under his Jurisdiction and stating that he will call the matter to the atteation of the State Fertiliser Board. Soon after the reply to Mr. Kolb's letter was written the following letter was received by the Commissioner from Mr. H. A. Ligan, President of the Fairforost Cotton Oil Company, Fair forest, S. C., which'also refers to the same matters and indicates that some legislative action would be necessary to meet the situation: "As j tiie legislature will be convened very soon , we beg penni .--sion to call your attention to the condition of the fertilizer business and hope yon will use your endeavor to have the matter adjusted in a practical way, if the same appeals to you. As you well know lt will ; probably not be possible to get sufficient potash for fertilizer purpos es, and we suggest that the old law be ab. changed.as-to enable manufac tories to make a standard fertilizer out of seed and-me?l and oihrJm?Le "?be pea potash can be obtained,from the meal. m ash Ingredients, only petting what -This will enhance the lvalue to the farmers of their meal or rather hold the price up from great depreciation; and It will become a'.moat a necessity for some measure of this kind to bo adopted, as we cannot make a stan dard fertilizer with the required amount of potash for next year, unless the present law ls- changed. The law we think might ha chas ged to meet the special condition, that prevails this year. We would ?dso suggest that the sacks be reduced rrora^r..", hundred pounds to ono hundred pour ds. to en able us to use the old meal sacks and . n?t have to buy new fertiliser sacks, the price of which ls almost prohibi tive. All of this would hot entail any more hardships on the; farmer, and-it really seems that we ought to do something to get toge th or in ? practi cal way .spell a year a.v this; us it will be to .the'best advantage td uss* what we haye on hand." ? ?

RASH HAf .iANAH COiviEbON SUNDAY The Jewish New Yeer Fell? on the Sabbath Day Th? Year i-r~?"g The feast of Ros h H ashs nah, or New Year's Day, which inaugurales the most solemn season of the Jewish year , begins this year on Sunday evening, September 20, and lasts until sundown on Monday, September 21. Among th? orthodox Jews who celebrate two. days, the following day, Tuesday, is also observed. This day opens the Jewish calendar year, five thousand,, t-lx hundred and seventy-five (5676.) .The observance of this day as al wholly day is commanded in two pas- j sages of the ?vc books of Moses, Le-j viticua XXIII, 24 and 25 and Numbers XXIX, 1. In neither passage ls there any specific command as to how the day ly to be observed beyond the la Junctions to blow the trumpet, to hold a holy convocation and to engage in no servile occupation. It is to be noted that the day is the flrst day of the seventh month or the day of the pew moon of that month." The new moon was observed as a wholly season by the JewB of old; the; seventh month was particularly a holy month, as the seventh day waa the holy day of the week; hence the new moon of the seventh month was in vested with significance of far holler import than the other new moon days of the year. All in all, the holy sea sons no servile work, no gainful occu pation was to be followed. < Kaiser Will Take Command. .
