PROFITABLE CORN CROPS.
Wow Much Does 1t Cost You to Raise
Il BuSI,cI Of Corn /?
progressive Farmcr.)

Progressive Farmcr.)
Did you notice the accounts Of the
splendid corn crops the boys made?
And especially did you note the fact
that one of the best crops was made
without commercial fertilizer and but
SS worth Of manure? The boy who
used 1000 pounds Of fertilizer made
corn at cost Of 3 cents a bushel,
while the boy who made corn with
manure made it al a cost OF f4R
cents a bushel, or less than half the
cost whore fertilizer was used. Then
there /" another point. The manure
added some humus-making material
TO the soil and its effects on crops
for years may be seen while the resi-
dual effects Of the fertilizer that add
ed no humus vii! be far less. How
much manure was bought for the IS,
! 40 not know, for the price Of ma
nurc varies in different localities
Our truckers here. for instance, use
thousands OF tons Of New York sta
bic manure that costs S2.75 per ton
at the railroad station. At this price
SIS would have added little to the
acre. And yet. | know one farmer
this manure and made money out Of
1t, while adding permanent improve
mcnt to his soil.
Another advantage Of the manure
is that it. encourages the growth Of
grass. Right across the road from a
place ! have recently bought is a
sand ridge, where it Is fully ten feet
TO any clay. And yet on that sand
ridge there is a sod Of Kentucky
bluegrass that Kentucky cannot beat.
and no amount Of commercial ferti-
lZ"r could have ever made it. while
IN" increase Of humus from stable
manure and the growing Of crimson
C:orer have covered that deep sand
with a rank sod.
IS ii not far better to increase our
crops through the growing Of forage
and feeding it and putting the ma
nuTc out to make corn for | x cents
a Dushcl than to spend our cash for
commercial fertilizer and make corn
at cost OF SO cents bushel as
many do? Mr.. Bats made great
crop of corn, but ii costs 65 cents a
bushel. a farmer know made 81 II
bushels over whole field at a cost
of less than 0 cents. because through
years Of good farming he has stock ed
his land with humus. and the clover
sod gave him the crop with no ferti-
liZcr at all. For years | have been
telling our farmers that ii does not
pay to grow corn with commercial
fertilizers Not that they cannot at
times show a temporary profit when
corn is very high in price. but that
IN the long run they are losing
money by SO doing. instead Of build
ing up their soil through legumc
crops and getting the humus back

New Root Crops for the South.

The department Of agriculture at.
Washington Is continually discover
Ing and testing new crops. When
these give promise Of becoming valu-
able additions to the crop resources
Of this country they are recommended
for trial. The department has Just
issued a bulletin dealing with the
'fantias, taros and dasheens as pro-
missing root crops for the South"
These are tropical plants which can
easily be grown In many parts Of the
South. They ought to prove valua-
Bile in many sections because they can
be grown on lands too wet for other
root crops or any cereal crop except
rice.
These plants comprise salad plants,
tubers which are excellent for table
use and also for stock feed, roots
which are valuable sources Of starch,
and from which alcohol can be made
They have formed the staple food Of
the native Hawaiians, and are impor-
tant food crops in Japan. China, the
Malay Archipelago, Porto Rico and
many other hot countries.
The work Of the department with
these plants has not yet progressed
far enough to permit any distribution
Of plants.

idents Of the two leading banking
institutions of South Carolina, are
to be indicted on charge Of con-
spiracy to defraud. The announce
ment was made yesterday by DR.. T..
J. Etheredse, chairman Of the board
Of receivers.
Dr.. Etheredge stated that the
board had been in session two days,
and that, after considering the mat
ter from every standpoint, it was de-
cided to let these prosecutions be
made.
The prosecutions will not come in
the name of the receivers, it Is said,
but In the name Of individual stock
holders, and the action will be in an
other county, possibly Kershaw.
Dr. Etheredge stated that every
person connected with the Seminole
Company would be prosecuted
with one exception, Thos. S. Bryan,
one OF the trustees. He would give
no further information.
Gen. Jones stated last night that
he had been expecting something of
this kind, "for any hysterical stock
holder Of any corporation can, with
shrewd lawyers, cause lot Of trou-
Dle.' said Gen. Jones. However,,

REGULATING THE SHOWS.

The protest of the motion picture shows against
the proposed ordinance fixing / o'clock p. Nj,
as the hour of their closing is not, we think, we'll
taken. There is no tinge of special legislation
in the act, as We see it.. II Is, on the other hand,
protective legislation. account of the peculiar
patronage of these places, which Is composed
almost entirely of the young OF both sexes.
That it is desirable, so far possible, that
this class should be taken of the streets late al
night Is a proposition that Is not to be denied
That the closing of the motion picture shows at a
reasonable hour will accomplish this end in part
is irrefutable. The time is past when ii was con-
sidercd without the province of city authorities
to base their actions on moral considerations. The
picture shows have place, IN Richmond, their
management has been such as to rob them of
objections which follow them iii other places.
1t is exactly because their management here has
been clean, that the protest against a reasonable
regulation is all the more untounded.
Sometime ago DIR. Mcdaniel preached series
of sermons in which he plead for a moral awak-
ening which should realize the danger of promis-
cu6us use of the streets at night by young peo-
pie To do this directly, the authorities pow
erless. To help to do it indirectly and within the
bounds of reason is duty which they recognize.
Ii We're pity did the moving picture shows,
which have so far been considerate of public
sentiment, in this matter of an extra hour of
business determine, to put it at opposition,
