CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK.
Clemson College Advises Farmers Re-
lating to the Use Of Ammoqniates
in Fertilizers. ,.r y,

The largely increased. manufacture
and sale of commercial fertilizers
have necessitated the use of cheaper
and inferior sources of ammonia than
have hitherto been used.
The dboard of fertilizer control OF
Clemson college feels constrained to
advise purchasers of fertilizers to ex-
anime carefully the information print
ed on the fertilizer sacks, and to note
particularly the statement as to the
source of ammonia. At the same time,
manufacturers are warned against the
use of leather, wool waste, etc., which
materials are enumerated in Section
3e1 of our laws, unless these materials
have been registered with the board,
and satisfactory proof Of their avail
ability filed. The only tests accepted
are field tests conducted under scientl-
fic control, or 80, per cent. availability
bv the neutral psrmanganate method.
The use of any materials not properly
registered and approved will be gwen
the widest publicity, and otherwise
dealt with as provided by law.
The board of control is seeking to
protect the farmers of South Carolina
against the use Of any source of am
monia which has not proven to be
available as plant food. In line with
this policy, they have adopted higher
standard for availability than is in use
in the other Southern States. Exten-
sive field tests will be conducted dur
ing the coming crop year, to, deter
mine in this practical way whether or
not some of the new sources OF am
monia which are now being exploited
can be safely recommended to our far
mers.
While the board of control desires
and intends to be fair to the manufac-
turers, and not to forbid the use OF
materials which while new to the
trade, are satisfactory substitutes for
SOME of the older and well recognized
sources Of ammonia, yet it feels that
since these sources are cheaper, they

In The House.

In the house of representative
Wednesday the Rembert. bill to IN
crease the salaries of State ottlclals,
from the governor down, received It's
first check, Mr.. J. ". Ashley OF An
derson deprecating any considerable
increase and insisting upon reference
to the ways and means: committee.
Mr.. Ashley carried his point finally.
Shall we drink mineral water or
plain water?" was answered in favor
of mineral water.
Mr.. Rembert's bill to increase the
salaries of State officers was called
up, and the point was made that it
had not been printed and laid Oh the
desks of the members. Reference had
been dispensed with Tuesday. Mr.. j.
W. Ashley moved to reconsider this
action and commit the bill to the ways
and means committee. He wanted all
the light obtainable to be thrown on
the matter. Former Speaker W. F.
Stevenson Of Chesterfield urged i'm
mediate action without reference. He
said the bill was short, members could
shsily understand it and reference
was unnecessary. Mr.. W. ". Dixon
of Fairfield sided with Mr.. Ashley
saying he favored the increase on
general principles, but did not wish
the house to be drawn into IAN un-
seemly scramble over it for the bene'
fit of the incoming administration. Mr
Ashley's. motion finally prevailed.

A Rare Treat

DR.. George Gilbert Bancroft, the
Psychologist, needs no formal intro
duction to the American public. For
eighteen consecutive seasons he has
appeared upon the platform in all the
principal cities on the continent. By
education both lawyer and q physi-
clan, by natural adoption lecturer and
and entertainer. DR.. Bancroft brings
to the platform wealth of practical
and technical knowledge and experience
such as few of his chosen profession
possess. Studiously inclined from his
youth, naturally of an investigative
tendency along original lines, his mind
at an early age became centered in the
fascinating study of psychology. To
hold the key to mans mind became his
dream; to ''Know Thyself" became
his motto. At the High School Audi
torium Tuesday, February z.

Revival Notes

The special meetings announced in
last weeks paper began Jan. 25th and
are now in full progress. The attend
ance has been good from the start
and increases steadily by actual count.
But many more could come. The
pastor would make an appeal to every
man and to every. woman whos profess
ed to be a follower of Jesus Christ to
show their colors by Identifying them
selves with this movement for pressing
his claims upon this community.
There will be absolutely no question as
to the success of these meetings if
every protesting Christian will take a
clean cut definite stand for Christ and
the Christ life and will throw the
weight of his personal influence on the
side of the meetings. 1t will be his
great loss il he refrains from coming
to the help of the Lord. As it is the
interest is already profound. We are
expecting it to deepen and widen until
every home and every life in our
community is touched by it. Bro. Kirk
is cooperating in very beautiful spirit
of christian brotherhood with the Met
hodist pastor. Brothrr Floyd Miles by
his manly personality, his gifted voice,
his naturalness and his way of getting
the sing out of everybody is great
help in the meeting. Remember the
hour 1880 p. m. Every evening except
Saturday, If you cannot come on time

will probably be the topics for the re-
manning evenings of this week.
