Labor is high and scarce. “Our Motto” should be— MORE Fertilizer—And a BETTER GRADE of Fertilizer I It’s cheaper than labor. In fact, cheaper than anything on the market today. - We have plenty POTASH and this may be the year to use a complete goods. It is all right to Hooverize at our tables —but we ought to feed the plant a complete ration. We hope you will be able to get your Nitrate from the government, but if not we are going to try to furnish you a part of your requirements. We started about eight months ahead of the government, but we haven’t got enough to supply our customers as yet. The trade does not understand or appreciate the difficulties which the manufactur ers have to contend with now—shortage of cars, labor, etc., and unless you co-operate with us, both of us are going to be the losers.

Put 'em stripes and keep 'em in the pen under the black flag that belongs to them, and make that flag show somehow that it s Wnd the bars, too. Make ’em work for their keep.” .. But after a minute he softened remarks about the suitability of the Union uniform. “Don’t let ’em wear either, he sai , “Don’t let ’em wear even the uniform.
