TnE CHEMICAL NECESSITY
Now as to the significance Of
these Georgia potash fieldspars from
an agricultural standpoint, | would
say that recently according to press
reports, there has been discovered a
chemical process for separating the
potash os fieldspars on a CONNER
cial basis. A plant Of this nature
is reported to be now in progress Of
construction at Baltimore for the
manufacture Of potash from the
fieldspars obtained at Hollow
field Should this process Of man
ufaeture prove a success from a
commercial standpoint the price Of.
potash will no doubt, be materially
decreased, which would mean a
corresponding increase in profit to
the cotton grower of the south, who
uses commercial fertilizer.
The percentage Of potash in the
high-grade feldspars is practically
the same as that in keinite, which
now brings about 49, per ton. This
being true, and as the fieldspars Of
Georgia undoubtedly occur in large
quantities, it would seem that these
deposits are likely to become in the
near future the sourse Of considera-
bic wealth, not only to the individ-
ual owner Of the deposits, but also
to the state as a whole.

LABOR CONDITIONS
MUCH IMPROVED
If new PLAN SUCCEEDS
AMONG SUMTER FARMERS

From Times Recorder, 2lst.
Sunpter county farmers heal
Leslie have entered into move
ment that seems very unique as re-
CARDS the good that may result
from it in the way Of aiding in the
solution Of many problems that
confront the farmers Of this section
as regards labor.
The plans the farmers Of that
section have adopted is, for & mu-
t1ial pledge to be taken by the farm
ers to protect each other in the.
way of hiring laborers The pledge.
OF resolutions brought before the
meeting Of farmers held recently at.
Leslie was signed BY al present.
The gist of the resolutions was
that each farmer pledged himself to-
offer no inducements to laborer
to leave his employer, and agree
that no tenant is to be contracted
with, except wife the consent Of
his former employer The general
trend Of the agreement is that there
Be mutual agreement between
the farmer wishing to obtain laberI
and any other farmer from whom
he plans to secure laborers
It is a well known fact that I'M
scrupulous negro laborers often en-
enter into a contract with one farm
er while they are still bound by
another contract. A proper nnder
standing between the farmers in-s
terested in these cases would, Of i
course, prevent such eases Of illegal
contracts and tend to promote
better feeling among the farmers Of
any given community with refer
ence to the very important matter
Of obtaining laE or.
So well pleased are the farmers Of |
that section Of Of Sumter and Lee
counties near Leslie, that they have
determined to hold another meet
ing and continue the work Of or
ganizing committees in this plan Of
helping the labor question.
Next Friday afternoon at 2 oil
clock, there will be two meetings
held, one at Leslie and another at
Anthony chapel, both in the inter :
est Of this movement !
II the plan works out well it is
said that should prove Of great val
ne in every community where there
are white farmers, as tits only nee
essary for a number Of these to
meet and sign the resolutions I'M
order to effect some kind at an or
ga uisation Of interests.
Farnert in this county and through !
out the state will await with inter
est the result of this plan as it is
being carried out here.

THAT Georgia possesses extensive de-

as the insoluble potash in certain

ed GRANTEES, such as are used for
building and monumental purposes,
the feldspars, as well as the mica
and the quartz, the other two es-
sential minerals Of granite, always
occur in minute particles or grains,
In this condition it is found im-
practicable to separate the field
spar from the mica and quartz on a
commercial basis
In addition to the fine-grained
GRANTEES here referred to, there is
also another class Of the GRANTEES
technically known as pegmatite.
Flfis class Of GRANTEES differ greatly
from common GRANTEES in the coars-
ness of its grain and the high per-
centage Of fieldspar present, condi-
lions which make it possible to
separate the potash bearing mineral
(fieldspar) from the other constitu-
ents with comparatively small cost.
Pegmantites, often also called giant
granite on account Of its coarse
texture, nearly always occnr in
the form Of bikes or as filled fs-
sures traversing other rocks. These
bikes, or as they are sometimes
called pegmatite veins, vary in
width, from a few inches to many

the United States. AS readers know the
crowding of the cattle out of many section OF the
range by the sheep has been attended by much
bitterness and controversy. There are three prin-
cipal species of range sheep. The old Mexico
sheep the direct descendants of the original
Spanish Merinos, brought over two hundred years
ago by the Spaniards in Old Mexico. They nave
long legs; long thin body, and the wool is fine
and thin. They hardy, excellent travellers and
will keep in good condition the poorest and
driest of ranges. Often they outsell all other
sheep, for the meat has excellent flavor and
the hide Is thin, firm and soft. These original
Mexican sheep have been largely graded with Me-
rino rams in New Mexico and southern Colorado
The New Mexico sheep, they denominated,
small-bodied sheep, and although they never
grow very large they get very fat They bring
good prices, for the same reasons that obtain in
the case of the Mexican sheep above mentioned
Mernos also to be found on the range in great
numbers, many of them having been bred from
Merinos brought from the east The lambs are
short-legged and not as good travellers as the
southern sheep but they need not be, for Wyom-
ing Idaho, ETC., have, on the average, better
ranges than are to be found in New Mexico, and it
is in these northern states that the Merinos hold
sway.
Almost all range sheep are affected with scah
though 1t is frequently so held in check as to be
scarcely noticeable AS remedy it is the general
practice to dip" all range sheep, and this opera
tion as carried extensively large sheep
ranch is decidedly picturesque Oftentimes 1t is
deemed necessary to give the same sheep several
dippings at intervals of ten days, and occasional
ly this dipping is done in weather. On the
large ranches there specially constructed dip
ping vats with runways for the sheep they ap-
proach and leave the vats, etc. Various ngredi-
ents are used in the preparation of the dips.
among the most popular being lime. sulphur and
tobacco.
AS is we'll known. the American market has be-
come the most discriminating in the world
beef products and is rapidly coming to demand
a corresponding superiority in mutton. Conse-
quently farmers and ranchers realize the
sty of selecting the best sheep, The value of i'm

years of eczema. About four years

me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.

veyed on this side of the Atlantic for many years
and many a farmer paid almost fabulous prices
for sheep having no adaptation to anything except
wool production. Perhaps this state OF affairs
due to the impression that so long held sway that
jthe American people were pre-eminently nation
of pork eaters and had little appreciation for good
mutton. Whatever justification there may have
been for this in the past 1t certainly ceased years
ago. A depression in the price Of wool some

no greater than the impression on the part

animals can get along on scanty vegetation, and
consequently will Craze proftably semi-arid
land but on the other hand they render an es-
pecially large return for liberal ration of good
foods. AS showing how much more appreciation
of this fact there is in other countries than in the

tics showed that there were not to exceed rs

agricultural states, whereas in England the high
priced agricultural lands sustain average of
$50 sheep per thousand acres, and In Scotland
there may be found as high as 1880 sheep re
