Fertilizer Concerns
Offer to Co-operate
Claim That Companies Operating in
South Carolina Lost Two and a
Half Million Dollars.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 14.—An of
fer to cooperate wholeheartedly in
making the investigation of fertilizer
prices in South Carolina, recently re
quested by the ^ General Assembly,
was made to Attorney. General John
M. Daniel in a letter from Charles J,
Brand, Washington, D. C., upon behalf
of the National Fertilizer Association,
of which he is executive secretary.
Brand pointed out that last year the
fertilizer companies operating in South
Carolina lost around $2,500,000 in fur
nishing fertilizer to the farmers, and
that throughout the country the in
dustry lost $22,000,000. During the
nast seven years the total losses of the
industry, Brand stated, amounted to
$225,000,000.

‘ We believe that when thef true sit
uation is brought out in tho investiga
tion,” Brand declared, “the Attorney
General, the General Assembly and the
public will understand that the indus
try is rendering a great weaJbh-pro-
riucing service to South Carolina and
to thti Nation, and at a very reason
able price.
“For this reason, and despite the
that we regard the resolution simply
a spolitical sniping'to bag campaign
thunder, the industry welcomes the in
vestigation, and through its national
association will assist as much as’pos-
sible in asceitaining the facts of the
situation.”
Brand stated that the extremely low
price of cotton ir? 1926 so crippled the
farmer’s buying power that in the
spring of 1927 demand for fertilizer
rzgp^:::r.:rzrr:--rT^z:' '■1rr'rs= ==*— —t
was at a low ebb, resulting in 19 per
cent fertilizer being sold in the
South. This, he explained, forced the
compania? to cut their prices until
farmers got their fertilizer last year
at prices averaging $3 a ton less than
the actual cost of production and dis
tribution. This was the disastrous re
sult, Brand wrote, of the cotton farm
er receiving only 8 to 12 cents for his
1926 crop. The bulk of the 1927 crop,
however, brought thci fanner 18 to 21
cents and consequently he is in a much
better'financial position.
“This year, the fertilizer companies,
acting legally and with proper self-
interest, are endeavoring to get their
cost of production plus a reasonable
profit—and no industry can continue
to function for the best ink rest of its
customers unless it obtains a fair pro
fit. Executives of fertilizer compan
ies would be delighted if they could
make a profit of 6 per cent on their
investment.”
Brand quoted figures from the Fed-
1 5
eral Bureau of Labor Statistics which
show that the price of fertilizer is rel
atively much, lower than the price of
cotton. He stated that at present
prices a bale of cotton.will buy a fifth
more 8-3-3, the analysis most exten
sively used on cotton, than it would
back in pre-war days, t
“The present prices of leading anal
yses of mixed fertilisers a re less than
12 per cent above the 1913 level,” he
explained, ‘‘but the prico of cotton' and
cottonseed combined is 53 per cent
higher than in 1913. Yhe price of non-
agricultural commodities averages
over'50 per cent higher and products
of the farm J17 per cent higher than
pre-wa-r. Thus the figures of the IL
S. Department of Agriculture prove
the 4 relative cheapness of fertilizers.”

V
I. Jesot Calms the Sea (vv. 35-41).
1. Crossing the sea (vv. 35, 36).
Wearied by teaching the multitudes.
He proposed that they take ship at
evenlng^time to the other side of the
sea, doubtless to escape 4rora the
tbrougs of people.
2. Overtaken by a storm (v. 37).
Even though Jdsns wag m The boat
with the disciples they were over
taken by a storm. It Is not God’s will
that we should escape the storms, but
those who have Christ on tltelr boat
are safe because that boat cannot go
down.
3. Jesus asleep In the storm-tossed
boat (v. 38).
In the midst of the turbulent ele
ments He, was resting in sleep. The
day had been a very strenuous one
and He was weary. He who made the
sea could well He down and sleep,
though the storm violently raged.
4. The terrified disciples (v. 38).
In their minds nothing but disaster
and death awaited them. They were
not only terrified, but they chided
Jesus for sleeping while they were in
such great danger.
5. Christ’s rebuke (w. 39, 40).
(1) The wind (v. 39).
This showed the Lord’s ■ mighty
power to control the forces of nature.,
(2) The disciples (v. 40).
He rebuked them for their lack of
faith. He showed that they were
looking upon their circumstances'in
stead of upnn their Tord.
6. The effect upon the disciples (v.
41).
They were filled with great fear. A
little while ago they were afraid in
the face of the storm; now they are
afraid In the presence of the Lord.
II. Jesus Heals the Gadarene De
moniac (5:1-20.) v
After the stilling of the tempest,
Jesus crossed to the other side of the
sea Into heathen territory.
1. Met by a demon possessed man

is a prescription fo^
Colds, Grippe, Flu,
Dengue, Bilious Fever &
Malaria.
It kills the germs.
This man was in a desperate con-
-dition. He was so tierce that no one
could safely pass that way. He wore
no clothes (Luke 8:27). No chains were
strmg enough to nold him und no
one was able to tame him. in the
night time tits hideous cries ctfattf
be -heard \wbile he vented his r^ge
by cptting binself with stones. Many
today are demon possessed. Much of
the insanity of. the age is traceable
to this cause. As the -
Lord draweth nigh these things will
increase (I Tim. 4:1).
2. What the demons knew about
Christ (’ v. 7-9.)—-
They knew that He was the Son
of God and that He had come to de
stroy the devil and ais works Among
the demons there is no doubt as to the
-deity of Christ and the judgment to
come, though we have many theolo
-gians and preachers who spy they do
not believe it. The devil blinds their
eyes so they—cannot un Jerstand
(II Cor. 4:4J ^ .
. 3. Christ’s power to deliver from
the devil (vv? 10-13f)
- He cast out the demons from the
man (v. 8). The demons quail be
fore Christ, not daring to dispute His
power, so they begged to be permitted
to enter the swine. As soon as the
Lord issued the permit, they hastened
away to hurl the swine to destruc
tion.
4. The effect upon the people of the
city 4v*r-14-17.)
The keepers of the swine fled to
. the city and made report of what
had occurred. This miracle brought,
the people out, but *wfien they real
ized the loss of their hogs they be
sought Him to leave their coasts.
They cared more for their* hogs than
for Christ and the cure of this man.
These Gadarenes have many sucoes
sors today.
The man who wps healed sent home
to testify (vv. 18-20).
No doubt it would have been safe
and pleasant to abide ^vitb Jesus,
-hut his friends needed his testimony.
The best witness for Christ Is one
who has been saved by Him. The best
place to begin that testimony is at
hom<» where one is known .best.
