ASSOCIATION, foreign Adv. Representatives,
NITRATES FROM THE AIR AT COST—
Farmers you are especially interested in the pro
duction of nitrates and their sale to you. During
the war when the government was urged to ex
pend millions to construct the Mussel Shoals dam
and nitrate project, you were urged to secure the
assistance of your senators and congressmen, for
the passage of the bill. The government promised
direct and by implication that in times of peace
when this project was completed, it should be
used exclusively for the farmers benefit and the
agricultural development of the entire country. It
matters not who will complete and run this plant
but it does matter if it is run that it should be run
in line with the promises made to you. In this
connegtion Norman Hapgood, editorial writer for
the Georgian says in part:
“When you fill your lungs with air, four fifths
of each breath is nitrogen.” When you decide what
to eat, nitrogen is an important element in a nour
ishing and balanced diet,
The principal component of nitrogen is saltpeter.
Taking the whole earth together, a vast deal of salt
peter s used up in a year. Yet, if you draw a line
around any seven-acre plot on the surface of the
earth, you will have above it as much nitrogen as
has gone into that year’s supply of saltpeter for
the whole earth.
In other words, man, so experimental in science
and mechanics, so lacking in spiritual wisdom, has
discovered that in the air above him is an unlimit
ed supply of this all important product. The Ger
mans were the ones to go after it first. Other coun
tries followed, but we did not move until the war
forced us to de so.
We boast about our increase of population and
are delighted ‘when our over-grown cities become
still more unwieldy. Modern sanitation enables
our population té double in 65 years. From 1900
to 1910 our population increased 21 per cent.
What was our ‘food supply doing meantime?
During the samk “ten years our crops increased
only 10 per cent.’ The farmers interest in getting
nitrogen fertilizers out of the circumambient air
has a basis, if we wish to continue to push up our
population and also to eat good meals. .
Let us go back to the last normal year before
the war balled everything up. In that year Belgium
raised over 70 bushels of oats to the acre.
Germany, with a bad natural soil, raised over
60, the United Kingdom over 40, Italy, Austria
and France over 30. The United States and Rus
sia brought up the rear, both with less than 30,
Now, that is a quéstion of soil culture, mainly

and the greatest nitrogen possibilities in the world
arc at Muscle Shoals in Alabama, on the Tenness
ee River, and that is what the rumpus 1s about.
The water power goes with it. No water power,l
no great nitrogen roduction. There ore other
aspects to the waterpower question, new and diff
icult, for before the youngest reader of these words
is dead, he will travel from New York to San

Muscle Shoals controversy that is closest upon us

MANY OBSERVER READERS—WiII remem
ber Martin F. Amorous who resided in this count
number of years ago while the |
was at its heighth. Mr, Amorous is now a farmer
near Atlantsy and he is taking lively interest in
farm organizations and selling plans, He sends
“he Observer the following unique card
iditor, The Observer ;
.Our profit fro mthe rise in cotton is as much as
we used to get out of “High Ball” or a “Cocktail”,
We got a good feeling and much “optimism”. The
farmer will have to sell his cotton before real mon
ty can circulate. And the farmer didn’t sell.
Thoreand the future market; bet on
the race up the hill and didn’t reach the top—Sc..
thern money gone to New Yorw by telegraph.
We furnish the pack and chips and the other
fellow selects the game and deals the cards.
Our “living” depends on taking cotton out of
specultation—organize the cotton farmers into a
Grower’s Co-Operative Selling Association, and
put an end to the uncertainty of our living.
Mr. Banker, Mr. Merchant, here’s your chance
to stabilize our economic conditions and put ev
erybody to work.
MARTIN F. AMOROUS.
' If there ever was a time when it seemed oppor
tune to organize the cotton farmers it is now. For
a year there has been the strongest hodling move
ment among the cotton growers that was ever
known. It s still strong. It has proven that farmers
can hold cotton, even when they are in debt.

In Union lies your strength. There will be no
one to fight your organization except the fellows
who've beéh Tiving off'of you, like a flea off a dog.
getting fat on the farmers. This cotton Associ
ation has already made the cotton planters of the
South millions of dollars, has secured Government
finances to market the crop, has enabled the banks
o secure funds to bridge over the period when
they usually had to force the old crop on the mar
ket and with all these influences spot cotton has
been aided thus far. It is not expected that all the
farmers will join this association of their fellows,
there always will be some who would “reap where
they domat sew,” but enough will come into the
organization to enable the cotton growers to get
a decent ptice for their staple during the life of
Ithc organization. In the meantime the planters
'will learn the practical lesson of unionizing for
the protection of their interests.

Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back
Hurts or Biadder Bothers.
We arc o nation of meat caters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble,
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like lumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad
der is irritable, obliging you to seck
relicf during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
theumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about fourrounces
‘of Jad Salts, take a tablespoßnful in a
glass of fwater beforeAreakiast each
morningfand in a fetv days your kid
neys will act fig€ This famous salts
is made the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, and nobody can
make a mistake by taking a little oc
casionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.

Cheaper Fertilizers If
Henry Ford Buys Plant
ATLANTA, Sept. 14—“ If Henry
Ford buys the Muscle Shoals Plant,
it will mean a great thing for the
South” said U, S, Senator Wm_ |
Harris of Georgia who is in Ati
following a trip over the State, The
Senator will return to the national
capital in about a week.
- “I am making no promise” contin
ued Senator Harris, “but I predijct
\that fertiizer will be much cheaper if
Ford gets that plant. The Republi
‘cans are trying to defeat the sale,
‘simply because it is in the south, You
‘who are saying in this section just now
that the way for Georgia to get rec
‘ngnition is to turn republican should
}remex‘nber that the republicans have
always and always will fight every
thing that the South wants,"”
“You can have your opinion on the
matter. I have no criticism of that
but the facts speak for themselves, |
heard one républican tell others not
long ago that if this plant were in the
North every republican would vote
for it.”
] Senator Harris has visited many
portions of the State on his present
trip; in fact in some sections where
he went 3 United States Senator had
never been there before, at east he
was so informed by the inhabitants,
The peope in other towns and rural
sections declared they had never seen
a senator unless he was running for
office. The Senator said he thor
oughly enjoyed every minute of his
trip and he was received as he always
liked to be as plain “Bill” Harris.
HEROISM OF TRAMP
SAVED TRAINLOAD IN FLOOD
New Orleans, Sept. 12—A tramp
swam through the flood waters 35
miles west of San Antonio, Texas,
Saturday and saved the lives of ’l2
passengers aboard the Sunset Limited
train, according to the story told to
night by R J Durand, assistant pass
enger agent of the Southern Pacific
road, when the limited came in from
‘the Pacific coast 36 hours late. |
~ The heroism of the tramp, who de-|
clined to give his name and who near
ly lost his life in the rescue, was re
warded by a contribution of a dollar
from each person aboard the train,
Inevitable catastrophe would have re
sulted but for the warning Mr. Dur
and said,
The railroad people said the most
notable thing about the disaster was
the courageous spirit in which the
people of San Antonjo set about the
work of clearing the wreckage and
caring for the injured. Statements of
numerous passengers bore out his as
sertion,
