CHEAPER FERTILIZER
DE-NIIIWIMM
IS SOUGHT BL 11. S.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—Vigor
ous efforts to perfect processes of
‘'fixing" atmospheric nitrogen for
fertilizer are being pushed by the
Fixed-Nitrogen Research laboratory
of the department of agriculture as
it becomes more and more apparent
that the future of American agri
culture will be dependent on an ade
quate and continuous supply of com
mercially produced fertilizers ob
tained from the nitrogen in the air.
The growth of population in the
United States is inevitably pressing
agriculture toward intensive culti
vation of land, rather than exten-.
sion of cultivated areas. The era
of wide expansion of agricultural
areas is thus virtually at an end,
this country having now reached the
point in its agricultural develop
ment -long ago attained by the more
thickly settled regions of Europe
aji<V Asia. t
Fertilizers Essential
For the successful pursuit of this
new type -of farming, huge quanti
ties of commercially produced ferti
lizers are essential. Under intensive
cultivation, usual agencies which
replace the nitrogen taken from
land under cultivation by crops,
such as manure, leguminous crops
plowed under, rain and snow and
the limited amount of commercial
production now available, are no
longer adequate. It is estimated
that the ordinary annual nitrogen
depletion of American farmed land
runs between three and four million
tons, only partially restored by the
agencies named.
To replace this entire amount
would require from fifteen to twen
ty million tons of sulphate of am
monia from 150,000,000 to 200,000,000
tons of ordinary commercial mixed
fertilizer.
And while >t would not now nor
in the immediate future be expedi
ent to use fertilizer to any such ex
tent on all of the land under culti
vation, these figures indicate the
ultimate fertilizer requirements of
American farms.
American production of commer
cial mixed fertilizer today is only
200,000 tons per annum, less than 1
per cent of these, requirements. It
is with a view to’providing commer
cially feasible processes that will
raise American production to some
where near America’s fertilizer
needs and free American agricul
ture from its present dependency
upon natural deposits of nitrates
found almost exclusively in foreign
countries, that the efforts of the
Fixed-Nitrogen Research laboratory
are directed. *
This work is almost a duplication
of that undertaken by nearly all
other great nations of the world
since the war. There has been an
increasing awakening to the fact
that peace-time requirements for ni
trogen must come in greater propor
tion from sources other than nat
ural deposits.
Germany has taken the lead in
this development and has already
established the nitrogen-fixation in
dustry on such a scale that she is
now producing in such quantities
as to make her independent of out
side sources. Her case is, however,
made somewhat easier by the fact
that one of the few important nat
ural deposits of potash in the world,
outside Chile, is found within her
borders, and her commercially-pro
duced requirements are therefore
less than those of other less fortu
nately situated nations, like the
United States.
Prices Too High
If the price of fertilizers were low
enotfgh, that is for practical pur
poses, almost no limit to the amount
that could be advantageously used
in this country. The price-element,
however, is the stumbling block
American commercial fixation to
day. Processes at present feasible
ai e cotsly and the product expen
sive. Cheapening of existing proc
esses as well as the development of
new ones is thus among the objec
i fives of the Fixcd-Nitrogen Research
laboratory. ,
The outstanding hope of Ameri
can farmers for cheaper fertilizer
s centered in the Muscle Shoals
conceived by the govern
©•nx during the war as a source of
n Jaßg’cn needed for explosives and
nf>w regarded by Henry Ford and
others as a great potential fertilizer
production center and source of hy
dro-elactric power. But even Muscle
Shoals, if devoted to this purpose at
full capacity, promises for a long
time at least to supply only 40,000
tons of the estimated 3,000,000 or
4,000,000 that can be used. other
production must be provided
through extension of existing fixa
tion installations and the develop
ment of other methods. To the fur
therance of this the research labora
tory is dedicated.

PEKIN, Jan. 21.—‘‘Three times I
was led to mountain glens for execu
tion.’’
Mrs. Juline Kilen, American wom
an missionary, -who was kidnaped by
Lao Yang Jen’s bandits, told today
the amazing story of her trials as
the only woman prisoner of the sav
age hordes of Honan.
Wane and emaciated, but sustain
ed by the faith that brought her to
the wilds of China to work among
the heathens the elderly Minnesota
woman finally was released and re
turned to civilization to describe her
narrow escape.
“When they took me to a. secluded
spot and prepared to kill me.” she
said, “I asked the executioner "why
he wished to kill an old woman..
“Each time he replied ‘I can’t do
it.’ ”
The last that was seen of Mrs.
Kilen, after the Honan bandits had
swept down on the Lutheran mis
sion where she worked, was as the
horde withdrew towards the hills.
Mounted on a •white horse, she
towered over the captors.
BETTER SKEW
OS PROFIT FOR
GEORGIA FARMERS
ATHENS, Ga., Jan. 22.—Experts
took the stand today at the Georgia
farmers’ conference at th e state col
lege of agriculture here and told del
egates here from all parts of the
state they can make money in farm
ing through efficient marketing fa
cilities. M. C. Gay, marketing ex
pert of the state college, presided.
Addresses by Eugene R. Black, fi
nancier; J. J. Brown, state commis
sioner of agricutlure; O. B. Jessness,
University of Kentucky; S. B. Tai
,iey, of the L. W. Rogers company
stores were made at the morning
session. Dr. Black, president of the
Atlanta Trust company, spoke on
the “Co-operative Movement;” Pro
fessor Jessness spoke on “Co-opera
tive Marketing,” and Commissioner
Brown and Mr. Talley spoke on the
subject of marketing.
The conference opened Monday
afternoon with an address by Gov
ernor Clifford Walker and J. E. Con
well, president of’ f Georgia Cot
ton Growers’ Co-operative. Mr. Con
well advised the delegates to encour
age production of not more than one
million bales of cotton in Georgia
next year. “It has been demonstrat
ed by recent experiments that quan
tity can be easily raised on a mil
lion and a half acres, in spite of the
boll weevil,” he said. “Add to this
greater production of chickens, but
ter. meat vegetables, enough for thi
farmers’ own needs and develop co
operative marketing to take care of
the surplus in these products, so
that the farmer will be given a fair
r-turn for his labor. De /elop a spirit
of sound optimism and we in Geor
gia have nothing to fear.”
Governor Walker male a plea for
better educational facilities in Geor
gia. urging his hearers to go back
home and create a public sentiment
favorable to a revis.on of t-Ue tax
system of the state. He commended
the decrease of “fifty per cent in
lynchings in Georgia during 1923.”
In a paper prepared by Carl B.
James, horticulturalist of the L. &
N. railroad, blueberries were cited as
a profitable crop. An average of
$750 per acre was realized in the
blueberry industry of southern Geor
gia and western Florida, Mr. James
wrote. George Firor. of thu state
college of agriculture, pointed out
th? rich profits to Georgia in vege
table growing. “The vegetable indus
try is proving to be one of tne
most valuable branches of agricul
ture in Georgia,” he said. “In a
recent, year its- value to the state
amounted to about $17,000,000. The
sum can be increased several times
When we have perfected methods of
marketing.”
Name Cold Continent
Coolidgeland, Advises
Northwest Senator
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—“Cool
idgeland,” was suggested Monday in
the senate by Senator Dill, Democrat,
Washington, as a possible name for
the “cold and silent” continent,
which the Shenandoah Is expected to
explore on her projected trip to the
North Pole.
Renewing his position to the
flight, Senator Dill said of course
some oil wells might be found in the
Far North country. Senator Neely,
Democrat, West Virginia, suggested
that “inasmuch as Mr. Fall has sold
or given away” all of the naval oil
reserve, it was time new sources
were'found.
Senator McKellar, Democrat, Ten
nessee, said the former secretary of
the interior, might be appointed gov
ernor general of the new territory.
“I see by the papers he is think
ing of leaving the country,” said
Senator Dill, “and I think that would
make a nice trip for him.”
Pupil-Wife Whipped
By Kentucky Teacher;
Grand Jury to Probe
STANFORD, Ky., Jan. 21.-*-Melvin
Wright, a teacher at the Pleasant
Point school, has been held to the
grand jury on a charge of having
whipped his wife, who also is one of
his pupils. He .has been unable to
give SSOO bond and is in jail. The
incident had a recent counterpart
in Bourbon county, where a teacher
whipped his wife, a pupil, before the
school, for drawing a caricature of
him on the floor, but there was no
prosecution.
Fire Destroys Steamer;
Crew Narrowly Escapes
j CITY POINT, Va„ Jan. 21—The
steamship Aurora, plying between
Richmond and Petersburg, with its
cargo of freight, was destroyed by
fire early today. Forace Furman,
manager of the Furman line, which
operated the vessel, and its crew of
twelve men. narrowly escaped by
taking to the lifeboats. The origin
of the blaze has not been deter
mined.
“As the. band moved across Ho
nan, it devastated a. strip a mile
wide and 250 miles long,” Mrs. Kilen
said.
Every one who opposed the ban
dits was slain.
“Towns were simply burned down
and graneries destroyed. Left with
out food, those villagers who did not
resist had no choice but to join Lao
Yang Jen, the bandit chief.
“The rabble grew and grew, until
soon it numbered 20,000 streaming
across the plains like a plague of
locusts, destroying everything in its
path-
“It was like one of those great
armies of ants that march across a
countryside, leaving nothing living
or growing behind.
“For ten days I was a captive,
the only while woman—the only
white person in fact—among these
' men.
I “We were always on the march.
The longest rest I had in all those
ten days was one of six hours’.
“Eight thousand of the bandits
were armed.” ,
Finally, when the difficulties of
keeping her alive became too great,
Mrs. Kilen was released.,
“Only my faith in God sustained
me.” she said simply.
Alarmed at conditions throughout
Honan, many missionaries are plan
ning to move into the larger centers
for protection.
GIVES PLAN TO PAY
FDR ROAD BUILDING
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 22
Governor Peay, in a statement to
day giving in detail the administra
tion plan for financing an SBO,OOO
state highway construction pro
gram, expressed a willingness for
the legislature, when it convenes,
to respond to a popular demand of
the people, “if there be such mani
fest,” and submit the question of a
referendum for the issuance of
bonds for a decision by the people
while the body takes a recess.
"The people can express them
selves at the ballot box as to how
much debt they are willing to incur
for road building, and under what
terms,” the executive stated. “I
agreed to such a referendum while
the last legislature was in session,*'
he said.
The governor promised that the
state would build ten million dol
lars’ worth of highways in 1924, and
said that the safest plan to follow
would be to issue short term notes
to supplement the highway funds
now available.
He discouraged the, issuance of
a $75,000,000 bond issue by the state,
which he said would require the
payment of $63,150,000 as interest
on the debt. Under the administra
tion plan, he asserted, approximate
ly $60,000,000 of this interest charge
would be avoided and this he pro
posed to spend on the maintenanse
of these roads and building of other
roads.
He said that there was no main
tenance fund provided in the $75,-
000,000 proposal, and that that was
one great unmovable feature to
which the administration objected.
“Investigation will show that
$10,000,000 annually can be provid
ed if the current road revenue in
creases 25 per cent annually, and
the roads can be completed without
I standing notes to the amount of
I $8,079,000; or $10,371,000 if these
I revenues only increase 20 per cent
I annually, and no more than $14,-
340.000 if they increase only 15 per
cent annually,” Governor Peay said.
President Approves
New Farm Loan Bill
To Aid Northwest
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Presi
dent Coolidge today gave his unquali
fied indorsement to the Norbeck-
Burtness bill for government loans
to northwestern farmers for pur
chase of live stock.
The president announced his in
dorsement of the measure after con
ferences with members of the house
agricultural committee to whom he
offered his assistance in bringing
about its enactment. The bill is
based on a plan worked out by Dr.
John Lee Coulter, of the South Da
kota Agricultural college, and Fred
erick E. Murphy, publisher of the
Minneapolis Tribune, both of whom
held several conferences with Mr.
] Coolidge last fall.
Mr. Coolidge regards the measure
as directly in line with the recom
mendation in his message to con
gress that such loans as are wisely
needed to assist buying stock and
other materials should be financed
through a government agency as a
temporary and emergency expedient.
Safeguards should be thrown about
these loans. Mr. Coolidge believes, so
that farmers taking advantage of
them could not be foreclosed by oth
er creditors.
Special Postal Rate
On Farm Products
Asked by Harris
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—An ex
perimental postal service for trans
porting farm products at reduced
rates would be authorized in a bill
prepared by Senator Harris, Demo
crat, Georgia. The service would ba
confined between producer and con
! sumer residing on rural delivery
routes and a commission would be
allowed the carrier.
Under the bill the experiment
would be made for one year over
25 routes to be selected by the post
master general and a report of tne
| results made to congress.
Another Mistrial
In Letters Case
COLUMBIA. S. C.. Jan. 21.—A mis
tical was ordered Sunday by Judge
Ernest P. Cochran in the case of
Mrs. Eugene O. Ingram, forty-two
year-old. Columbia woman, on trial
here in federal court for the past
live days on a. charge of sending ob
; jectionable letters through the mails
; to friends, relatives and principals in
the fashionable McGregor-Boyle wed
ding party just before the weddins
: took place here in October, 1922. The
■ jury deliberated more than eleven
i hours without reaching a verdict.
This is the second mistrial for Mrs.
1 Ingram on the same charge, the first
having resulted in a hung jury at
Florence. S. C.. last March. Whether
the government will attempt a third
trial has not yet been announced.
UNDERWOOD PLANS
FIGHT ON KUN AT
PARTY GOlWTIffl
CLEVELAND, Jan. 22.—United
States Senator Oscar Underwood, of
Alabama, candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for president, in
an address here today /huYlej defi
ance at the Ku Klux Klan and
served notice that he will demand
that his party in national conven
tion next June write into Its declara
tion of principles the plank of the
Democratic platform of 1556 de
nouncing the know-nothing move
ment of that period.
“That declaration, my friends, is
as applicable to the Ku Klux Klan
of today as it was to the Know-
Nothings of ’56,” he said.
Taxation of tne people of America,
federal and state, is “approaching
the danger point,” Senator Under
wood declared, giving figures to show
that about one-eighth of the national
income was paid to tax collectors.
The soldiers’ bonus, he asserted, was
the “one impediment” to tax reduc
tion and he declared he could not
follow the “mental gymnastics” of
those who advocated the bonus and
tax reduction at the same time.
In his discussion of law observance
the Alabama senator said there was
“organized defiance, against some of
the sacred guaranties of the Consti
tution, such as trial by jury, protec
tion of the home, freedom of religious
worship and protection of property.”
“And these fundamental warran
ties of individual liberty, secured by
that great charter,” he continued,
“must fail when passion and petty
, prejudice are allowed to direct the
course of government, and when an
uprestrained mob directs the affairs
of men instead of even-handed justice
proceeding from courts of law.”
Reduction of Taxes
In speaking for tax reduction, Sen
ator Underwood said the people were
being “overburdened by extravagant
appropriations of public moneys on
one hand and the reckless and op
pressive levies of taxes on the
other.”
Stating that the total national in
come was estimated at $58,000,000,-
000, Senator Underwood said that
state, local and federal taxes aggre
gated about $7,000,000,000, or one
eighth of the people’s earnings,
while the national debt had increased
by $27,000,000,000.
“How far we can carry the burden
and not lose our footing no one can
foretell,” Senator Underwood con
tinued. “But the fact remains that
we are fast approaching the danger
point, and it is apparent to those
who realize the vast importance of a
sound system of finance and stabil
ity in business conditions that labor
must be employed and agriculture
find its markets, and that we have
reached a point where we must call
a halt on any further increase in
taxation or extension of the national
credit. In my judgment there can
be but one course to pursue, and
that is to reduce taxes.
“There seems to be but one imped
iment that stands in the way of
this much-to-be-desired result, and
that is the soldiers’ bonus, the so
called adjusted compensation bill.
In giving consideration to the pas
sage of this measure, it must be
borne in mind that from the begin
ning of the government down to the
present day the soldiers of every
war in which the nation has been
engaged, except the great war in
Europe, have received onlv $6,600.-
000,000 byway of pension and al
lowances. The soldiers of the last
war already have received in com
pensation. outside of their statutory
pay, in the neighborhood of $3,000,-
000,000 in five years’ time.
Favors Aiding Disabled
“Os course, a great deal of this
expenditure has gone for the care
and maintenance of the wounded and
disabled soldiers, who are properly
entitled to the first consideration of
the government, and every one
agrees that the man who suffered
personal injuries by reason of his
patriotic service to the country
should be well and properly taken
care of. But the man who came
home in good health and without in
jury or loss, except the loss of time,
if it can be counted as a loss of
time to serve one’s country, stands
on a very different basis from the
wounded and disabled.
"We must not forget that the
I great indebtedness of the nation
coming from the recent war not only
rests as a burden on this genera
tion but on the generations to come,
and, in the end, the soldier himself
will bear the larger portion of the
taxes to pay the debt, as his span
of life runs longer than that of the
more mature men who were not
actually involved on the battlcfront.
“Some of those charged with gov
ernmental responsibility are publies ? '
ly proclaiming that we can reduce
taxation and at hte same time in
crease the indebtedness of the coun
try under a bonus bill to the extent
of $4,000,000,000 or $5,000,000,000. To
understand such a proposal requires
a degree of mental gymnastics of
which I am not capable, and I do not
believe that the American people
take such a proposal seriously. The
issue is perfectly plain to my mind.
If we do not pass the bonus bill and
are economical in our expenditures,
•we can reduce taxation to the ex
tent of $300,000,000 or more. If we
I pass,the bonus bill, we must expect
that the burdens of today if not the
great burdens of tomorrow, will
remain with us for the next half
century.

Improved Estimates
On Crops Sought in
Senator Harris’ Bills
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
40S Evons Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Bills
designed to insure better cotton crop
estimates and ginning reports were
introduced in the senate today by
Senator Harris, of Georgia., and sim
ilar bills in the house by Represent
ative Rankin, of Mississippi, and
Representative Swan, of Oklahoma.
They are members of a sub-commit
tee of southern senators end con
gressmen who have been studying
the cotton crop estimates and re
ports for several weeks. The bills
presented today have been agreed
upon by the members of congress
and of the department of
agriculture and the bureau of cen
sus.
One bill will stop the cotton acre
age estimates of the department of
agriculture based on farmers’ inten
tions to plant, as many protests
have been received from the south
on the grounds that the estimates
were not accurate. The otiuer bill
will call for semi-monthly cotton
crop reports by the department of
agriculture and ginning figures by
the bureau of census to be published
simultaneously. The estimates must
be approved "by a departmental
board of officials In touch with cot

Finn Prohibition Law
Regarded as Failure;
Repeal to Be Asked
BY GEORGE WITTE
(Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News—Copyright, 1924.)
HELSINGFORS, Jan. 21.—Al
though Finland is supposed to be
dry, 18,500 persons were arrested
at Helsingfors alone for drunken
ness during 1923. This is the highest
figure since 1913, and as a result a
strong movement has been started
to have the prohibition act repealed
as a failure, the same as in Nor
way.
Three thousand persons were ar
rested for violations of the prohibi
tion law as compared with 2,000 in
1922. Miss Annie Furuhjelm, lead
ing Finnish ’ suffragist member of
the Rikstag, frankly came out
against prohibition in an interview
with the correspondent today, and
said she would vote for Its repeal as
soon as the new parliament was
formed and a resolution to that ef
fect introduced.
General Lee Christmas
Buried at New Orleans
, NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 22.—Funer
al services for General Lee Christ
mas, soldier of fortune, and proba
bly the most noted of the American
adventurers who led revolutions in
Central America, were held at 2
o’clock this afternoon from a chapel
on St. Charles avenue with inter
ment in St. Roch cemetery.
General Christmas, who was near
ing his sixty-fifth birthday, died at
noon yesterday from a complication
of diseases contracted in the tropics.
Blood transfusion operations were re
sorted to several months ago and
these temporarily strengthened him
but his condition continued to grow
worse. Last Friday his physicians
gave up hope for his recovery.
Congressional Club Host
To President and Wife
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Presi
dent and Mrs. Coolidge were the
guests of honor last night at a re
ception given at the Congressional
club, an organization of members of
congress and their wives.
