The spinners claim that they have
worked overtime without proper compen-

SOUTH CAROLINA.

Columbia State: Columbia is an old
city, but its development is of the new
est-and hence the fastest. The manu-
facture of fertilizers is the greatest in
dustrial interest of Charleston, as the
manufacture of cotton goods is the
greatest industrial interest of Column
bia. The eleven fertilizer factories Of
Charleston represent $7S6S, 639 of it's to-
tai of S12. ,1S7 capital. Likewise the
four cotton mills of Columbia repre-
scented in 1900 S3,S15,156 of it's total
manufacturing capital of 1921 ,306 But
the cotton mills are worth much more
to Columbia than the fertilizer facto-
ries to Charleston. In 1900 Charles
toms fertilizer factories employed 1,41s
people, and Columbias cotton mills D.
GAS people; While the former paid out
in wages $4SS, S42, and the latter $407,-
$50. The increase in Columbia's cotton
mill industry since then has been in
Dictated above, and shows that with a
much smaller capitalization Columbia
leading industry now pays out yearly
several hundred thousand dollars more
in wages than Charleston's leading in

nishment. Attorney General Wright
bases his opinion in this matter on sew
eral decisions of the Georgia Supreme
Court, all of which are so cleverly in
point as to leave no doubt whatever
in the matter. One of these decisions
was in the case of Hightower & Co. vs..
SlatOn and others. "a Georgia, page les.
This was a case from the Superior
Court of Spalding county. and in this
instance the Supreme Court clearly
held that there could be no garnish-
ment of a salary due a school teacher.
This decision and others which are on
the same line are based largely on pub
lie policy. School teachers are looked
upon as a necessity to the public well
fare, and il would possibly seriously
interfere with the school system at
times if their salaries could be taken
away from them by garnishment pro-
cess.

Producing a Corn Crop.

The thing most necessary is the
blowing of the land, as 1 think the Gull
tivation of the corn crop begins with
the proper blowing of the land, says
the Farmers Review On my farm
we pillow all land intended for corn in
the fall of the year and we pillow an
average depth of six inches. We use
for this work the tricycle. or three
wheel pillow, cutting sixteen-inch fur
row. The principal reason for blowing
deep is to form a good mulch over
the land that we may be able to re-
tain the moisture late in the season
and prevent evaporation. In the spring
when the proper time arrives, we pre-
pare a good seed bed and plant our
corn, and them in a few days, we put
the spike harrow on and harrow thor
oughly. sometimes going both ways of
the field, as we find for the first Gull
tivation this to be not only very rapid,
but very thorough. One man and four
horses will cultivate forty acres in
day. Now, you, of course understand
the season has much to do with the
method of cultivation. Now, as to the
kind of cultiVator, we have used most
all kinds of corn cultiVators and ex-
perimented quite a little along this
line, and we have arrived at this con-
clusion: After the narrowing we use
the siX-shovel sulky cultivator for the
first and second working. l mean by
the second working the cross blowing
(and / want to say right here that we
pillow corn only three times, believing
more is rather an injury than a bene-
fit, and now for the third or last plow-
ing. We throw aside the shovels en-
tirely and use the surface cultivator.
We give as our reason for making this
change, that with this implement we
can keep out of the roots Of the corn.
which is absolutely necessary in this
last cultivation, besides leaving the
surface of the field almost level, and
forming dust mulch all over the land.
which tends to check evaporation and
hold the moisture among the roots of
the corn. Some of my brother farm
ers may say we can't afford so many
kinds of plows, and to this 1 would
say we have the combined shovel and
surface pillow, this surface attachment
costing about Sc extra.
Now as to the second question as to
the failure of the corn crop in this
section, would say I am situated in
the corn belt of Illinois and we never
have any failures. We sometimes have
a short corn crop like the present one.
The short crop of this year we attrib-
ute to dry weather and hot winds.

Fertiliring NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

3. L. c., ethel. S. c., writes to ask
"if equal parts of kainit. dissolved
bone and cotton seed meal would make
a good fertilizer for watermelons, and
what quantity should be applied to
an acre, and the best way to apply it..
And would the same mixture be suit
able for sorghum grown as a forage
crop. Would April l be too early to
plant the sorphum?"
Without knowing something of the
character of the soil on which the
melons are to be grown and to which
the fertilizer is to be applied it would
not be possible to say positively
whether the mixture would be the
most suitable or not. But on general
principles it may be said that 500
pounds CT such a mixture per acre on
any average soil would be good for
almost any crop that might be plant
ed anywhere.
If you adopt the hill plan of culture,
12X10 feet or 10X10 feet, two vines left
to the hill, we would advise as the
most economical use of the fertilizer
to bro3 beast a due proportion around
each hill as soon as the seeds
are planted, spreading the fertilizers
as evenly as possible over a space 5
feet in every direction from the center
of the hill The first blowing or cult
waiting will work the fertilizer into the
soil at varying depths. All stirring of
the soil after the first, of course, must
be as shallow as possible.
In using 500 pounds of fertilizer to
the acre and having melon hills 10 by
10 feet, you would apply a little over
a pound to each hill to be exact, just
Is ounces. This is not very heavy fer
tiliZing to be sure, but it is the best
way to make 500 pounds do its very
best for the immediate crop.
Melon roots are very near the sur
face and spread rapidly in every direc-
ton. If the fertilizer is put only in a
single furrow the vines can not make
very much use of it. especially if the
season is dry. The food must be all
about the hill and not too deep. The
rains wash out the soluble elements of
The manure on the surface and carry
It down right to the little roots. All
vine plants especially need their food
as a top dressing.
Sorghum too requires it's food near
the surface, almost as much so as mel
ons. The crop will get almost the full
benefit of any good fertilizer spread
broadcast along the row and cultivat
ed in.
We should not consider April l. as
too early 20 plant sorghum in your
locality.
In planting it we observe the same
care that we would give crop of tur-
nips The land is left after planting SO
that the harrow or small sweep can
run round the young plants as soon
as they are up. 1t will not do to let
the grass get any hold in the row.
Have the land ready and plant lust
after a rain if possible Cover lightly
and roll.

COL. EsTmL AT FERxAxDrNA.

Fernandina News: Col. j. H. Estill.
of the Savannah Morning News, pass
ed through the city yesterday en- route
to st. Marys, and was a caller at the
News office. AS is well known to all
Floridians, the Colonel is in the guber-
material race and is now making his
campaign, we are pleased to learn
with every prospect of success. No son
of the Empire State is more entitled
to the position than Col. Estill. who
would carry into the office the splendid
executive and business ability which
has marked his career.
Starting al the close of the Civil War
as a printer and pressman, he worked
his way up to the proprietorship of the
South's greatest newspaper, and his
election would be the only instance in
the history of Georgia where a man
risen from the workshop had been
called to govern her. The working men
of Georgia owe him their support; and
the business men of the state will
make a mistake if they do not support
Estill for Governor
