Castor Oil is
TaSteleSS Now
A Remarkable Step Forward in Oil
Refining.

Pure, clear castor oil, without taste
or smell, is a recent discovery of the
house of Spencer Kellogg & Sous, re-
finers of vegetable oils.
The kellogg Mills take away the
hauseating taste, but remove none OF
the good properties of castor oil.
AS Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil Is
merely a purified castor oil, 1t works
better than the eyil-tasting, evil
smelling dose of the past. and does not
upset the stomach. Children take ii
easily.
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil has
been supplied to all druggists, not in
bulk, but in neat 25c and SOC bottles
1t is necessary to ask for Kellogg's
by name, to distinguish it from dis
guised castor oil, favored with pepper
mint and other strong essences. The
trademarked label bears a green castor
leaf, with the signature, kelloggs

Did Not Grant Funds Required.

James Adams Hayne, NJ. D., of the
state board of health returned to Co.
lumbia a few days ago after visiting
state health officers in Raleigh, n. c..
and Richmond, Va. Both Of these
states have recently enacted vital
statistics law, similar to that Of South
Carolina, and the object OF DR.. Haynes
visit was to observe their plans in
conforming to the regulations of the
United States census bureau. He
brought back with him a supply OF
registration banks.
These will serve as an exhibit whan
the state board of health meets DC.
tober 7 to devise plans and complete
the machinery for the full operation
Of the law, which the board plans to
effect January l, 1915. In passing
this bill, the Legislature failed to in.
corporate any financial clause by
which the obligations incurred in col.
leCting the statistics and recording
them might be mel. DR.. Hayne says
that the printing OF blanks and other
necessary papers alone will cost ST.,
200. In North Carolina, $4,000 was
required for the first years expenses.
and $4,000 in Virginia.

SURVEY IN BAMBERG
FEDERAL EXPERTS MAKE A RE.
PORT OF THEIR FINDINGS IN
HAMBURG.
MANY LATENT POSSIBILITIES
FieIds Average Less Than Third Of
Possible Yield-Too Little Diver
~sification For Good Results.

Columbia.-That the beginnings OF
the agricultural possibilities of BAN.
berg county are yet to be realized;
that the soils On the average are not
producing more than one-third OF
what they should; that they are being
used in many instances for crops for
which they are not adapted; that
every year the farmers realize the i'm
portance of diversified farming, are,
tersely, the findings Of a soil survey
of the county recently made by the
the bureau of soils, United States de-
partment of agriculture.
The survey was made for the pur.
pose of classifying the different types
of soil in the county and to determine
to what crops they are best adapted
The report lis accompanied by a map
in colors, showing the location of the
types of soil encountered by the sur.
veying party, as well as the location
of churches, school houses, roads and
streams in the county.
The farmers do not generally real
ize that the existing system of grow
ing cotton as the only money crop and
buying a large part of the necessities
for home use can not lead to any sub
stantial prosperity. Many of the soils
are more admirably adapted for other
crops. Greater t~horoughness in the
preparation of soils for crops as well
as in subsequent cultivation Is needed.
While frequent cultivation is neces'
sary in order TO keep down grasses
and weeds, an equally important func'
ton Of cultivation Is to conserve the
moisture in the soil for the use of the
plants. The farmers too often plant
their crops on poorly prepared land
and afterwards try 10 get the soils in
good condition while cultivating the
crop, generally by deep blowing.
The rotation of crops has been
given little more or no attention by
the majority of farmers of the coun'
ty and its importance as a means OF
increasing the Of the farm
or of keeping the soil in a productive
state is not understood. For example
cotton may be grown upon the same
land for a long term Of years or it may
be alternated with corn and oats In 2
regular way. One of the great factors
in maintaining the soil in a productive
state is to keep it we'll supplied with
humus. The present one-crop system
in the county is largely responsible
for the very low humus content found
in the soils and their CORRESPONDENCE
low state of productiveness.
A good rotation is cotton n Of
two years, corr one year, and oats and
cowpeas the third year, followed by
cotton again or such other crop as
the conditions demand. Cowpeas are
best planted in the corn middles. In
the late fall rye, vetch, burr clover OF
some other suitable winter cover croI
should be planted.

Of soil found in the county during the
