No Indication Of Reduction of Cot.
ton Acreage, Judging From Increas-
ed sale of Fertilizer.

The campaign for reduced acreage
In cotton may be effective in South
Carolina, but it is apparently not re-
sulting in a decreased business in fer
tilizers. The amount Of fertilizer
sold is usually taken as an index of
the amount Of cotton planted, but,
Of course. this is not sure index, as
commercial fertilizers are used to a
great extent under ther crops, and
especially is the use Of fertilizer large
with the Williamson method of corn
growing, which is being put into use
generally in this state.
For every ton of fertilizer sold in
this State the manufacturers pay a
tax Of 25 cents, which produces the
principal revenue of Clemson College.
Last year, from January 1st, 1907, to
December 31st, 1907, the amount of
tax paid in this State was $15O,9S3.81,
representing the sale Of 6O3,939 tons.
Up to May 1st, 1907. there was paid
in the sum Of $131.45S.4S for the
fertilizer tags.
