exists largely in all the other
States. This, of course, means
that this amount of cotton re-
presented by these liens is annu-
ally forced upon the market to
the dstriment of the cotton that
is held for higher prices. Until
the lien laws are repealed or
some plan adopted by which the
farmer may meet his obligations
without pledging his cotton be-
fore it is planted, we necessarily
will have an up-lill fight. To
this eni, therefore, we recon
mend that wherever it is posi-
ble that each and every farmer
strive to produce upon his own
premises as much as possible
for home consumption, and to
relieve 20 that extent the de-
m2nds of creditors upon our
cotton crop. The cutting down
of the hay, corn, meat, molasses
and egg bill, just in that proper
ton as he got control Of his cot
ton crop. The condition OF the
farmers was never better to meet
the fight than now. Victory
is certainly within our hands il
we stand firm, continue to build
our warehouses, organize capital
for the protection of our cotton,
diversity our crops, reduce our
guano bills, food and supply
bills, and the future holds for us
the victory in the fight.

Crop Contests this Year.
Prizes to be Awarded.

Columbia State: The legisla-
ture having made provision for
prizes for the farmers of the
State in cereal growing contests
to be held this year, Commis
sioner Watson, who was chair
man of the board conducting the
State contests in connection with
the national contest in 1906,
and who is occupying the same
relation in regard to the contest
this year, said yesterday that
though no meeting of the board
had yet been held to arrange for
the 1908 contests, he wished to
give timely notice to the farmers
Of the State that there would
be corn growing contest this
year and possibly one also for
the growing of oats. He said
that he wished this notice to be
promulgated promptly in order
that the farmers might make
their preparations for entering
in time. He said further that
he hoped there would be a
larger number of entries than
ever and that arrangements
would probably be made for an
exhibit of the products Of all the
contestants at the next State
fair.
Commissioner Watson said
that though he had has not yet
been informed as to whether
there will be a national con-
test or not this year, the State
appropriation is not conditioned
upon the holding of such con-
test. If there is a national con-
test, however, those who partake
in the State contest will have all
the pt vileges of the national
contest. The special board in
charge Of the contest will doubt
less meet at Clemson in the next
fortnight to prepare and issue
all the rules and regulations

association, made one of the fin
est addresses ever heard in the
South. 1t dealt with facts the
farmers ofSoulh Carolina should
know, facts they should heed
and study out to their welfare
and increased wealth. Among
other things Prof. Harper, who
is an authority on such subj
said the following:
"Some systems of farm man.
agement in the South will not
permit the growing of legumin-
Gus crops often enough and in
sufficient amounts to produce
the nitrogen required. Under
such conditions we must resort
TO the use of nitrate5 or some
commercial form Of nitrogen.
The cheapest form to be found
in commercial fertilizers sold in
the South is in cotton seed meal
as the nitrogen in cotton seed
meal is in an organic form and
1t gradually becomes available
as it is broken down by pitrify
ing bacteria into nitrates. This
process is gradual and conse
quently the nitrogen is not all
available at once as it is in nit
rate of soda aud as the plants
develop this nitrogen slowly be-
comes available for their use.
The South is now exporting mil
lions Of pounds of cotton seed
meal TO other States and coun-
tries, there to be fed to animals
and the manure to be returned
to the soil, increasing the amount
of humus and nitrogen. This is
an enormous loss to the South
and if continued through great
periods of time will eventually
mean depleted soils. South Car
olina is now spending about
$12, 100000 year for CONNER
cial fertilizers. This is enough
money to purchase the food for
600, 900 cows and the manure
from 100000 COWS would be
equal to the 100000 now
spent for commercial fertilizers.
From recent experiments con-
Quoted at our experiment station
at Clemson, we have found that
dollar for dollar manure from
cows fed cotton seed meal is
worth three times as much as
commercial fertilizers containing
the same amount of plant food.
The value of farm manure de-
pends largely upon the kind OF
tood that the stock consumes.
1t is fact that with mature ami
mails about 80 per cent of the
nitrogen is recovered in the ma
nure and practically al! of the
phosphoric acid, lime and potash.
There is loss of about one-half
of the total dry matter, Where
COWS are led what is known as a
balanced ration the manure from
so cows during the year contains
$4,000 worth of phosphoric
acid, potash and nitrogen, but
this is worth more than this fig
ure because of the great value

The Cotton Association
President Smith on the
Recent Annual Meeting at
Dallas.
Columbia State: The annu
al convention of the Southern
Cotton association, which con.
vened at Dallas, Tex, on the
10Th and Goth of this month,
was attended by a good delega
tion from this State. We found
every State represented both by
delegates and visitors, and inter
est IN the work steadily on the
Increase. All were more than
satisfied with the steady pro-
gress made toward the con-
troll of the cotton crop by the
South.
1t was a matter Of c1ngratula
ton on ali sides that we had
met the panic, met our obliga
tions and still held our cotton.
The Western States, those
across the Mississippi, are more
thoroughly impressed than ever
before with the necessity for the
good derived from organization.
1t is conceded by all that had it
not been for this organization
the price would have precip-
itated cotton on the market,
which in turn would caused pan
ic prices to pravail, and a conse-
quent loss of millions to the
South. | found that there had
been larger per cent. of cotton
sold in Mississippi, Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas than in the
other States. The reasons being
that Mississippi, Arkansas, Louis
lana and Texas had suffered with
short crops and storm cotton for
sew eral years, and were not in
as good financial condition as the
other States.
| found that the bank ers,
merchants and business men are
becoming more generally aroused
and are taking a deeper interest
in the work than has ever been
manifested before. 1t was con
ceded tiat the present outlook
in spite of the stringency in the
money market, was favorable to
much higher prices in the early
spring and summer than now pre-
vail. What cotton is being held is
held by strong parties, and they
do not propose to turn it loose
until the price stood for is obtain
ed.
A resolution was passed to the
effect that in view of the fact
that we had made short crops this
year, shorter than even the most
conservative had estimated, and
in view of the further fact that
the worlds consumption of cot
ton goods Is steadily on the in
crease year by year, if we do not
obtain the price we stood for by
planting time that we will re-
duce our acreage % per cent.
and devote this reduction to food
