KEEP GOOD MULCH WORKING
One Of the Great Principles Of Dry
Farming 10 to Prevent Loss Of
Water by Evaporation.

A mulch Is anything applied to the
surface Of the soil. primarily for the
purpose of preventing evaporation and
occasionally to keep down weeds and
avoid winter-killing of plants. writes
]. Freer in the Northwest Farmstead.
There are two general kinds Of
mulches.
Foreign material, such as straw.
leaves. sawdust. manure, stubble and
sand applied to the surface
Those composed of natural soil
modified by tillage. One OF this kind
Is called dust mulch" or dust
blanket" and is simply layer Of soil
which has been loosened up and dried
out Mulches Of foreign material play
very small part In general farming.
but are extensively used in horticui
ture In some localities.
The principle of the mulch Is:
Loose. dry material covering. wet soil
retards the movement OF water to
the surface and keeps the dry, cir.
culating air from contact with the
moist soil. thereby greatly reducing
the loss of water. The finer the mulch
the loosen 1t must be to give good re
suits. Ordinary soil mulches two to
three inches deep are usually most
effective. When a mulch becomes wet
its effectiveness is gone until 1t dries
out
Light rains. and irrigations on .
mulched soil are worse than no appli
cation OF water. because they ONLY
wet and destroy the mulch and allow
the water from below to escape, with
out adding any to replace it. Addition
al expense Is incurred by the cnltiva
tion. which must be immediatel,
started to restore the mulch.
A quantity of water retained by cul
tivation is Of far greater value evel
where water is plentiful than tn,

MANUFACTURES IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Washington, d. c., April GA pre-
iiminary statement Of the general re-
suits of the census of manufactures
for the state of South Carolina was is
sued today by Census Director Dur
and. 1t consists of summaries, COR
pairing the figures for 1904 and 1909,
by state totals, prepared under the di-

Steam laundres are separately pre-

statistics from prior censuses with
which these totals CAN be compared.
The figures are preliminary and
subject to such change and correc-
ton as may be found necessary from
Il further examination of the original
reports.
The Thirteenth Census, like that of
1904 with reference to manufactures
differs from the Twelfth Census, in
1900, in that the two later censuses
excluded the hand trades. the build
ing trades, and the neighborhood in
dustries, and took account only OF
establishments conducted under fac
tory system. In the last census also.

duct for the census year of value less
than $500, except taht reports We're
taken for establishments idle during

and whose products for such reason
were less than $500.
The word establishment" as used
more than one mill or plant, provided
they are owned or controlled and
operated by n single individual, part

The reports were taken for the cal
endar year ending December 81, 1909

and in 1901, $29, ,407 600, an increase of
$17,Sl6,000 or 81 per cent. The value
added by manufacture in 1909 formed

increase of SS9oO00, or Is per cent.
The average miscellaneous expense
per establishment in 1909 and 1904
