The South Carolina Shoots Some

The new battleship South Caro-
lima is breaking all records in tar
get practice. One Of her 12-inch
guns averaged more than two hits a
minute, being the highesJ record ever
made in the navy. Some recent calcu-
iauons at target practice by the vari-
Gus battleships gave the palm to the
ldaho, but If this record by the South
Carolina IS kept up, the battleship
named after the Palmetto State will
go to the head of the column. Tests
are yet to be made in night shooting
and in torpedo manipulation.

CORN GROWERS ASSOCIATION.
Meeting at Oakway Was One of
Profit and Pleasure.

Seneca. May 27.-Special: The
Oconee County Corn Growers Asso-
citation met at Oakway on May 21st
at 10 a. M. and was called to order
by NJ. G. Holland. John w. Rey-
nolds was elected secretary of the
meeting.
Quite /. large crowd Of farmers of
Oakway and vicinity had assembled,
which shows the interest that Is be-
ing taken in the demonstration work
by the farmers Of Oconee.
Profs. J. y. Harper and D. y. Bar
row, OF Clemson College. we're pres
ent and delivered able addresses on
the improved methods of farming.
Those gentlemen are live wires in
the demonstration work and are OF
much service to the farming class of
people Of our county.
Prof. Harper said there were So
100000 bushels Of corn produced in
South Carolina in 1909, and it was
not impossible to make 100000
bushels with proper cultivation on
this same land. He recommends a
3-year rotation of crops and phos-
phoric acid as the proper fertilizer
for corn; cut out cotton seed meal
as a fertilizer at present price; raise
more corn and hog and hominy at
home; apply nitrate Of soda to corn
when punching to tassel, just after
a rain if possible. He advised farm
ers to mix their own fertilizers at
home, letting analysis correspond
with nature Of the soil on which
same is to be applied.
Prof. Barrow dwelt principally on
the source from which plants receive
nutriment. four-tifths Of which
comes from the air. He said a thor
ough preparation of soil in the fall
and ideal cultivation are essential
things if we expect a good crop at
harvest. Humus Is what the soil
needs; put plenty Of vegetable mat
ter in the soil that sufhciency of
moisture may be stored for the plant
at the time it needs ii. He says a
twO-eared variety Of corn generally
gives best results. BY selecting seed
from the field, from plants which
have been bred properly, the best re-
suits may be obtained. He said the
hog is the best paying animal on the
farm. He advised tile draining,
where necessary, as the best way to
drain our land Of excessive moisture.
Very interesting addresses were
also made by Andrew Bearden and
John w. Shelor.
Much interest was shown during
the meeting, and quite number of
questions were put to the speakers
from Clemson, all Of which were
&adily answered, giving the informa-
@& desired.
$sSFe think that Dr.. Knapp has
no mistake in selecting Rev
S3s38G. Holland as demonstrator for
O(&ee. He is one of the best farm
erSAf Oconee. and is always ready
to Vist the farmers in solving any
probYem which leads to a better sys-
tenn OF farming. He is in great
work, and we find in him a man Of
accommodation, properly qualified
for the great wrok in which he is
engaged.

CRY the Associated press


Liverpool. April 22.-Tnere Mas a
sensation IN Cottonopolis today born
Of widely circulated statements that
forged bills OF lading for cotton pnr-
porting To have been shipped from
the United states had been uncovered.
The alleged fraudulent methods, it
WAS said. involved cotton valued at
$500, GEO, and in addition 70 thirty
Liverpool concerns, il was stated that
several continental cotton houses We're
heavy losers,
The Echo SAYS that the method OF
using the alleged false bills Of ladinS
was to append fac simile carriers sig
natures to bills of lading sent With
drafts to this side before the cotton
was delivered by carriers, and that
importers in many cases paid suca
drafts. When the practice VAS dis
covered the steamship companies
Withheld deliveries until the bills Of
lading were verified. The Echo a
that al investigation made by i'm
porters shows that not only We're 4
number of these bills OF lading spuri-
Gus, but that there was actually no
cotton against some Of them.
Sensational reports Of the failure
of the American cotton firm Of
Knight, Yancey and Company, which
heavily hit Liverpool cotton houses.
added to the excitement.
A cable received here from Liver
pool, which fell like an explosion OF
dynamite, said that Knight, Yancey &
Company, were short in Liverpool 20
600 bales, in HaNre 5000 bales
and in Genoa 5000 bales. This
would make a total loss at current
quotations of Yer 5000. 600.
In Liverpool IS firms are believed To
have been affected by the failure Of
the Alabama firm.
A majority of them. however, have
large amounts OF capital and viii be
able to tide over the situation: but a
few Of them Will be seriously felt.
The heads Of soma Of the houses in
Liverpool Will proceed to the United
States by the first steamer available
in order to investigate the situation.
No loss as the result of the failure Is
likely to fall upon English bankers,
who are amply secured.
While the cotton market today was
deeply stirred by the situation its ef-
feet upon prices was not great. The
directors Of the Liverpool cotton as
sociation met during the day and dis
cusscd the affair.
one result Of this meeting has been
to revive the movement Initiated by
the association of 1905 to follow the
same practice as pertains III the corn
trade in connection with the issue OF
bills of ladinG.
The hope is expressed here that
the settlement of the affairs OF Knight,
Yancey 4 Co. Will realize 100000.

Fertilizers and Fertility.

As Mr.. Miller suggests, the man
who applies only zoo pounds of s
p fertilizer to his land is only en-
aiding the crop to draw more on
the natural fertility of his soil, and
the crops sold of have carried away
this fertility and the land is poorer
than before h fertilizer was APP
piled. But the man who applies an
equal money value of phosphoric acid
and potash to Il crop OF CRIMSON cio-
Yer to be turne for corn not only
gives the phOSphOric acid and potash
TO the corn, but more nitrogen than

not apply 4 pounds of nitrogen, but
IA pounds, for the , per cent on
the sack is and not nitro
gen and ammonia is only about 50

buys this when he could get more
