liner B. j. Rhame has been removed
from office by Governor Cole L. Blease
for alleged neglect of duty in not soon
er c4osing up the defunct Lexington
Savings bank.
The governors action took place i'm
mediately after he received Mr..
Rhames' reply to his demand for an
explanation of the officials conduct.
Mt considering the explanation salts
factory, the governor, without further
delay, issued the removal proclamation.
Mr.. Rhame will contest the govern
or's act in the courts.
The governors action in attempting
to remove me from Office said Mr..
Rhame when asked for a statement, lis
purely arbitrary, and his statement
that the condition of the bank was not
published is false 1 shall disregard
his order and shall hold the office until
ordered by the court to relinquish.
Mr.. Rhame was appointed by former
Governor Ansel to the position he now
holds, OH the recommendation of the
State Bankers association.
There has never been an instance, so
far as is recalled, of an official in South
Carolina being removed by proclama-

follows planting this crop in the fall
under proper condIuons. You should fer
tilize with not less than 500 to 400
pounds of an 1913 fertilizer. Rather lib
eral fertilization will be necessary if
your land is thin. Drill in the oats If
you can possibly arrange to plant them
in this manner. Less seed is required
and the uniform covering of the grain
insures more rapid termination and a
bet stand. two important things in Sc
curing a profitable yield. The fertilizer
should be drilled in with the seed. 1t
may often be advisable to use nitrate of
soda as a top dressing on rather thin
land. If you use nitrate apply II at
least two weeks before the oats bunch

it on when the leaves are dry so as to
avoid h4juring them.

The Wheat Harvest Is Everybody's Business

n KORF than hundred million people await
lVH the report from the wheat fields. Every
49, body is interested. A good harvest means
prosperity to all. 1t means more than prosperity
to the man whose work lies in the city or town;
70 him If means existence. Two-thirds of our
people depend absolutely upon the other third
for the very bread they eat. Truly, the wheat
harvest is everybody's business, matter OF the
deepest concern to us all.
fortunately the farmers reward for his work
in the wheat fields is reasonably sure. Scientific
preparation of the soil and seed bed, rotation OF
crops, selection of seed and the use of high grade
farm machines, have made good crop almost
an assured fact. For work of such Importance
the best machines that can be made are abso-
lutev necessary. The harvest time is short; every
minute is important; delay is intolerable and ex-
pensive. The choice of machines to harvest your
growing crop is your most important duty.

This service does away with all unnecessary

Light sandy land with a yellow clay
subsoil is not likely to be a very rich
soil, and it is not surprising that a
part of this land should produce rather
a small stalk of cotton. On all of this
soil we are disposed to think you will
find the use of a high-grade fertilizer
advisable, and would suggest that you
use for cotton about a 9-3-5. If you
care to go TO the trouble you might
use an S-3-4 on that part of the
patch where you are now producing a
good stalk. providing it is fruiting
we'll. There is hardly enough to be
gained, however, to justify you in
using two formulas in the same field,
unless the soil conditions are radically
different. Not less than 500 pounds
of the above formula should be used.
1t is doubtful whether a side applica-
ton will be satisfactory i'm a section
where you have a very short season.
The chances are that you should use
the fertilizer rather early on this ac-
count, and put most, If not all, of it
under the drill row.
There is no one best variety of corn

500 pounds cotton seed meal, and SOC
pounds Of IL per cent kainit?
The first formula mentioned in your
letter would contain per ton about 2O5
pounds Of available phosphoric acid, "a
pounds OF nitrogen and 81 pounds OF
potash. Its percentage composition
would be approximately 10 Per cent OF
phosphorus, per cent OF nitrogen and
AZ per cent of potash This would
be a very good formula for cotton on
sandy land, provided you use 100 to $50
pounds of nitrate of soda as a top
dressing for the crop later on in the
season. In other words, the formula
is low in nitrogen for cotton on land OF
the character described in your letter.
You could, of course, cut out some of
the cotton seed meal in your formla,
and use nitrate of soda, sulphate of
ammonia, blood or tankage to replace 1t
and raise the per cent of nitrogen to
per cent.
The second formula mentioned in
pounds OF available phosphoric acid, 81
pounds of nitrogen, and 81 pounds of
potash per ton. Its percentage COM
position would be SIS per cent of phos-
phorus, LIS per cent of nitrogen, and S.S
per cent of potash. This formula would
not be satisfactory except on the rich
est of our red clay lands, and even
then il would be lower in nitrogen than
our experience has shoVn to be neces-
sary. The first formula mentioned is
much more satisfactory for cotton on
the character of land described in your
letter.
PLANTING SPANISH FINDERS

land will make a bale of cotton per

will give me viii be appreciated.
Spanish peanuts may be planted with
advantage on loamy soil with red clay
subsoil for grazing down by hogs. This
variety, as you probably know, fur
nishes most of the nuts used in con-
fections. II is a favorite because OF
the large yield il makes and the uni
form size of the nuts. 1t would not sell
so readily at rotail, however, as some
OF the larger varieties. AS grazing
crop for hogs, Spanish peanuts stand
very high. They have been used extern
sively for this purpose and may be de-
pended on to make from 700 to 1,O0C
pounds or more pork per acre. They
may be grazed. as you know, for con-
siderable period of time, and hogs
grazing on this crop may be finished
and make a first-class quality of porl
by penning end feeding on corn for q
period of two weeks. AS means OF
giving variety to the ration of hogs
and enabling the farmer to raise q
good bunch each year at minimum
cost, this crop should be extensively
planted on every farm in the south. AS
to yield. some very high records have
been made. 1t was reported, for in

determined largely by the disposition
you expect to make of your crop. or
the early varieties, you will find Nancy
Hall and Strasburg about the best.
Among the most productive kinds are
Southern Queen, Hymen, Providence and
Shanghai. Among the choicest southern
varieties are Yellow Yam, also called
Georgia, or sugar yam. Dooly is also
good variety, going under the synonym
occasionally of Pumpkin Yam. These
latter varieties do not yield as abund-
antly as some, and on that account are
probably not as extensively cultivated
as they should be.

Sweet potatoes, as you probably know,
do best on sandy soil. This type of soil
does not contain a superabundance of
vegetable matter, and on this account
rather liberal fertilization is necessary,
and you will find a formula containing
about 8 to 10 per cent of phosphorus,
8 to per cent of nitrogen and to 8
per cent of potash about right for this

be used to advantage on sandy soils.
The amount of nitrogen suggested above
may be decreased If one has land which
contains some vegetable matter 1t is,
of course, important to bed potatoes out
at once if you have not alreauy done so,
and to prepare your land carefully and
thoroughly so as to have it in a friable
condition and free from weeds and
trash. Plant out the potatoes as soon
as danger of frost is past if you are
