lions Of phosphates and potash. Potash
is concerned in the early maturity of the
plant and hastens the fruiting and de-
velopment Of the seed. 1t is one of the
most important Of all the elements to
apply on our southern farm lands, as
much Of our land is notably deficient Ia
this essential element. Potash may also
be used TO some advantage, especially
on land where the cotton tends to rust
II makes the plants more vigorous, and
is concerned in the transference Of starch,
and hence aids in the rapid development
and quitting of the plant. We would sug-
gest that with a soil such as you have
that you apply Immediately a mixture
OF 200 pounds OF high-grade acid phos-
phate and 50 pounds Of kainit; these ma
terials to be mixed together and applied
as q side application, using a fertilizer
distributor TO scatter IL, and then sur
face cultivation may be followed with adj
vantage. We believe II you will try this
fertilizer you will obtain better results
in the way Of the fruiting OF your cotton
than you have had in the past, and as 1t
is now getting late in the season for these
rather slow acting fertilizers, we would
suggest the advisability OF making the
application at once.

THE PROSTITUTION OF COTTON SEED

can be purchased and utilized by the
farmer.
Cotton seed meal must certainly have
a high feeding value, or else the discrim-
mating farmers OF Great Britain ana Eu-
rome would not use IL so freely. That
they appreciate its virtues is shown by
the lavish way in which they buy II. In
1895. for instance, the amount Of cotton
seed meal exported was PASS tons which
brought at that time 81 a ton. The hg-
ures quoted show that 1t brought in 1907
s2s az. or an increase of Ss45 per ton.
Instead of the increased price reducing
the consumption, the above figures show
that almost three times as much cotton
seed meal was exported in 1907 as In
1898 Where does this cotton seed meal
9oP a naturally an interesting question.
II Is chiefly exported TO Denmark, Ger
many and Great Britain. In 1907 Dem
mark took 277.124 tons; Germany, 224,O64
tons, and Great Britain. $3.50 tons. These
same countries in 1900 consumed re-
spectively 1859. .424 and 15s.629 tons.
Notice the remarkable increase in con-
sumption shown by Germany and Den
mark Apparently. there is consider
able falling OF so far as Great Britain
is concerned, but IL should be remember
ed that in recent years Great Britain has
obtained a part OF its supply from Egypt
and other countries. so that In all prob
ability the stockmen Of that country are
using more than ever at the present time
The chief interest Of Denmark is in dairy
husbandry. They have not the natural
favorable conditions of soil aand climate
that pertain in many sections of the
United States. yet they have developed
a dairy business of phenomenal proper
lions, and supply a large part of the
prime butter consumed in London and
other large cities OF Great Britain. Ger
many has a rapidly increasing population
and a very considerable dairy industry.
The German people are among the most
careful agricultural economists in the
world, yet they are taking larger and
larger supplies of our cotton seed meal
each year. which leads us to believe they
must prize II very highly as a woodstuf
and a fertilizer, and realize that accord
ing TO the price paid they are obtaining q
very cheap product. a truth which we are
nov beginning 10 recognize in the south.

STATE TREASURY IN
SPLENDID CONDITION

Representations TO the contrary not
withstanding, Ex-Governor Smith left the
state treasury in much better shape than
he found it, and, instead Of an apparent
deficiency Governor Brown has on his
hands, subject to legislative direction.
approximately s25O,0OO more than did ex-
Governor Smith, when the latter was In
augurated.
Ex-Governor Terrell left, in available
cash. in the treasury, $1S9, 1864.
Ex-Governor Smith left, in available
cash. in the treasury, $193,92O.9S.
Ex-Governor Terrell left s42, 900, in round
numbers, due to Confederate veterans for
pensions.
Ex-Governor Smith paid every dollar
due Confederate pensioners.
Governor Brown is not confronted with
a $4,000 Indebtedness to pensioners at
the very beginning Of his term. He has
to meet only current expenses.
Ex-Governor Smith faced. the pension
Indebtedness of $4,000 in addition to the
current expenses of the state, including
the cost of the legislature, yet he had less
available cash in the treasury than Gov
ernor Brown has.
Ex-Governor Smith did not call upon
the legislature TO come to his relief by
diverting any Of the funds in the treas
ury. He awaited himself of his constitu-
ton right and borrowed $4,000, which he
paid back when taxes began to be paid
in December following.
Governor Brown proposes that the
'near-beer' fund of S227,0 900 be applied TO
current expenses, and the legislature will
doubtless pass a resolution adopting the
governors suggestion.
When the "near-beer' tax was levied, II
was provided by the legislature that the
money should be applied 20 the peniten-
tiary system, with a view to perma-
nently abolishing the convict lease sys-
tenn.
Governor Smith succeeded in abolishing
the convict lease system without expend-
/ ing a cent of the 'near-beer" fund, and
this money is now in the treasury, intact,
with the lease abolished and the con-
victs on the public roads.
It has been suggested that Governor
Brown might meet the present situation
by borrowing from the banks, just as all
/ other governors have done, to meet cur
rent expenses, thus enabling the legisla-
ture 10 divert the ''near-beer" fund to
the payment of common school teachers.

deza strata. or Japan clover. This clover
was probably introduced into South
Carolina about 1880 It is now
acclimated in every section Of the
south, and grows better In pro-
portion on poor and dry soils than any
other clover with which we are familiar.
It is a plant which could be utilized to
the greatest advantage for both pasture
and hay production in this state. 1t
should be seeded in late February or ear
ly March as soon as danger Of hard
freezes are over. 1t grows vigorously
during the summer and fall, though II
sometimes suffers from drought on sandy
lands II may be cut for hay and will
reseed itself after once becoming we'll es-
tablished, and 1t affords excellent pasture,
thriving we'll in the midst of Bermuda
sod, and crowding out broom sedge and
other native grasses, which we all know
is a very good thing. It's vigor and te-
nacity of life are such as to commend
1t most strongly to the attention Of our
farmers. In tests made in Mississippi
and other states It was regarded as worth
much more for feed than an equal weight
of timothy. 1t may be sown in the spring
on oat land, and when that crop is cut
for hay or grain the Lespedeza will de-
velop and afford good pasturage, or may
be cut for hay. 1t gives it's best results
as a hay plant on calcareous soils and
those that are fairly strong. On these
lands it could probably not be used advan-
tageously for more than pasture purposes.
Fall seeding with this plant is probably
to be preferred. Use a half bushel of
seed per acre and SOW either in October
or early March. 1t seems to grow luxu-
riantly on various pieces of land near this
city, and when cut for hay will make
al ~ -hnIf to
or more tons per acre. This rs one of the
gifts of Providence within the reach of a
majority of people which is not appreciat-
ed and utilized as it should be-

know what TO do TO increase the now or
milk.
1t is true that COWS often give varying
amounts Of milk during succeeding lacta-
ton periods. We have known cows to
give nearly twice as much milk with one
calf as with another. This is not an
imaginary conclusion, as the milk was
weighed carefully every day for the en-
tire period. Very often when a COW
gives an unusually heavy flow OF milk one
lactation period she VIII not do quite so
well during the next one, but OF course
feed and care have much to do with the
flow of milk given by a COW. You
should always exercise great care to see
that the COW is thoroughly and completely
MIXED. and that the milking and feeding
are done regularly. as change of mixers
and irregular feeding will influence the
yield OF milk considerably. At this sea
son Of the year you should have little diff
ficulty In feeding your COW so as TO insure
a liberals flow OF milk. We should put her
on pasture and give her about pounds of
cotton seed meal per head per day, feed
ing IL pounds night and morning. DO
not guess at the amount OF meal you are
feeding, but weigh il. You will only need
to weigh it once. Take an old lard can,
or something similar, and place II on the
scales and I'LL II to the three-pound mark.
Then take a little paint and daub along
the side, and you will have a mease~e
which you can use with comparative ac-
curacy. We only find II necessary to
feed about pounds of cotton seed meal
to a COW when on good grass. Sometimes
when the grass is short, or the season I'M
usually dry, we feed as much as 4
pounds. You can tell by the flow of milk
how much meal It will pay you to feed.
Sorghum hay is only a fair feed for
cows. 1t is somewhat fattening in ma
ture and deficient in protein or muscle
building elements, and If you have not
been feeding cotton seed meal, bran and
other concentrates with the hay, il prob
ably accounts for the meagre flow Of milk
you have been obtaining.
