Washington, Jan. 2.—(Auto
caster)—As the new Congress gets
down to business and the legis
lative program for the session be
gins to assume form, members of
both houses find themselves
wondering how they are going to
work out a compromise between
the demands for continued and
increased spending of Federal
lands, on the one hand, and for
economy and retrenchment on
the other hand.
•Rxere is no doubt that the
temper of the 76th Congress, on
the whole,, is toward economy.
Leaders and a great part of the
membership of both parties would
like to cut expenditures. But the
pressure of well-organized lobbies,
added to what are generally re
garded as necessary extra ex
penses, may easily prove too much
for the well-intentioned ones who
would like to see the Federal gov
ernment get out of the red by,
keeping its costs within its in
come.
If the present feeling that it is
necessary to balance the budget
continues, those most experienced

Farm Problem
One of the organized demands
which Congress will have to face
is that of the Farmers Union for
& continuation
mtinuation of ttje—Agricultural
Let of 1938, with tm appropriation
f SWSLmillion dollars. M. W. That-
her, le^<
A
of
cher, ie$r*<3tive representative of
the Farmers Union, has served
notice on Congress that if this Js
not granted the result will be a
rebellion in the Middle West
which cannot be put down with
out the use of the Army.
Few take that threat too seri
ously, but the farm relief problem
is still a perplexing one. Secre
tary Wallace points to the recent
vote on the continuation of the
cotton quotas as proof that the
farmer likes his present program,
and he will be insistent in his
demand for its continuation.
The Work Relief problem is an
other difficult one. The general
feeling in Congress is that the
whole relief problem should be
turned back to the states, with
such Federal aid as may be re
quired. ,
The W. P. A. matter touches on
the conflict between Congress and
the Administration, which is not
as serious on the surface as it is
in the private conversations of
members of both the President’s
party and the Opposition.
The fear of Federal domination
•s a constant and growing one re
gardless of party lines, whether
through W. P. A. and other Fed
eral spendings, or by other means.
Political parties rest on their
state, county and municipal or
ganizations, and every Congress
man and Senator wants to pre
serve all the political power possi
ble for his local organizations,
which in the long run are respon
sible for his nomination and elec
tion.
Critical of W. P. A.
Senator Rush Holt, Democrat,
of West Virginia, the youngest
Senator, who has been extremely
“Potash Top-Dressing Increases
My Yield 20%”.. . says Mr. Lae
“I HAVE TOP-DRESSED cotton
with potash for four years,** says
H. C. LEE of DaleviUe, Ala. “I be
lieve that a liberal application of
potash increases my yield at least
20%. Last season I used 300 pounds
of 4-10-7 (blPK) per acre under my
cotton and top-dressed with ni
trate of soda and MURIATE OF
POTASH. I averaged 1,176 pounds
of seed cotton per acre on 45 acres.
Extra potash improves the quality,
makes a better staple with a better
turn-out at the gin. It keeps cot
ton from shedding so badly and
makes picking easier.**
Wallace L. Martin, Gray Court, S. C., win
ner of first prize in the 1937 South Carolina
five-acre cotton contest believes in using
plenty of potash for the crops he grows.
But, let’s let Mr. Martin talk. He says: “As
to potash on my crops—/or small grains,
I use a top-dresser of two parts of nitro
gen material and one of MURIATE OF
POTASH; for corn, under the crop I use
a complete fertilizer containing (»% POT
ASH; for cotton, I use a complete fertil
izer containing T 1 /^ POTASH at planting
and a nitrogen-potash top-dresser carry
ing 15^ POTASH. In 19371 produced 123^
bales of cotton on five acres and won first
prize in the state cotton contest.”
NV POTASH PAYS!
Cotton, tobacco, com, small grains, vege
tables, potatoes, peanuts, sweet potatoes,
tomatoes, orchards, watermelons—all of
these crops need plenty of potash to pro
duce bigger yields and better quality at
lower cost. It will pay you to ask for more
NV POTASH in your fertilizer. The extra
yields and extra quality that it produces
cost you less and pay you more. Tell your
fertilizer man you want a higher potash
mixture for your crops and make sure the
potash is genuine NV POTASH.

“The Unit Cost of Potash
is Low” ■ • • says Mr. ffofmos
“IT WOULDN’T BE worth while to
farm if I couldn’t get plenty of pot
ash to use under and around all
my crops,” says H. H. HOLMES,
Barnesville, Ga. “Last season with
July rains and boll weevils in abun
dance, I averaged better than half
a bale per acre. My cotton was fer
tilized with 400 pounds of 4-8-10
(NPK) and top-dressed with nitro
gen. My wheat got 50 pounds of
cottonseed meal and 150 pounds of
acid phosphate per acre at planting
and was top-dressed with 100
pounds of MURIATE OF POTASH
and 100 pounds of soda. I made bet
ter than 32 bushels of wheat per
acre. The unit cost of potash is very
low and you cannot afford to let
your crops suffer by not using
plenty of it at planting and as a
top-dresser.”

Main Street McCormick, a. C.
critical of the political activities should offer it. If he follows the
of W. P. A. in his state, has an-! advice of his own party leaders he
nounced that he will introduce a
resolution declaring it to be the
sense of Congress that the time-
honored precedent limiting a
President to two terms should not
be broken. Strictly speaking,
that is none of Congress’ business,
but Congress made it its business
in 1928, adopting a resolution de
signed to head off what was fear
ed by many in his own party to be
the ambition of President Coolidge
for a renomination that year.
Mr. Coolidge had announced in
1927 “I do not choose to run,”
but that was not enough for his
enemies in his own party.
There seems little likelihood
that such a resolution would be
adopted even if Senator Holt
will not do anything which would
be so well calculated to destroy
party harmony. Harmony is what
both wings of the Democratic
party are seeking now. How far
they can achieve it is still in
doubt.
There is a revival of talk about
the party restoring its ancient
“two-thirds rule,” which would
put practical control of the party
back into the hands of Southern
Democrats, since no candidate
could be nominated without a
two-thirds vote of the convention.
