RESULTS OF ToP-DREssING
Best Times to Apply Nitrate Of
Soda TO Corn and Cotton.

i
Results obtained at the South
Carolina Experiment Station
show that a top-dressing with nj
trate of soda gives good results on
cotton, corn and small grains. The
increase is most marked during q
wet year, because this nitrogen is
already in an Immediately avail
able form, while the rotting of
the organic sources does not pro-
ceed as rapidly as usual on ac-5
count of the excess of moisture in
the soil. The amount to apply per
acre varies with the fertility of
the soil and the previous fertiliza-
tion, but we would suggest from
so pounds per acre on poor land
up, according to the fertility OF
the soil.
Early applications are coming
into favor. We recommend that
the soda be applied to corn when
it is between knee and waist high,
to cotton just as the shapes begin
to form, and to small grain III
March. Care should be taken not
to SOW nitrate of soda on wet
plants, because it is likely to scald
them. 1t is best to apply it just
after a rain, when the moisture
has dried off the leaves of the
plants, then cultivate with q
mulch forming implement as soon
as the ground is dry enough to
plow.

Reinforcing" Manure.

Manure is the best of all crop
producers, but manure needs "re-
inforcements" to bring out its
greatest value and to suppl y mat
ter in which it is deficient. Be-
sides, the farms are few and far
between that produce enough
manure to fertilize all the land,
even by the most careful live stock
farming and by adding brought
feeds to the crops grown and re-
turning all manure to the soil,
Manure is especially deficient in
phosphoric acid and where crop
is fertilized entirely with manure
the addition of acid phosphate
will increase the yield. On sandy
lands. manure will not contain
enough potash to produce the best
CROPS.

TICK ERADICATION.

Great progress was made last
year in tick eradication. A larger
area approximately 1000 square
miles) was released from State
and Federal quarantine than in
any one year since the work was
organized along systematic lines.
Still greater progress is antici-
pated as a result Of this years
work. This is made possible by
the close cooperation of the State,
through Clemson Agricultural
College, and the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in their
Systematic manner in conducting
the work, on the one hand, and
the hearty cooperation of the live
stock owners and progressive citi-
zens of the State on the other.
This work is supervised by DR..
W. X. Lewis, Inspector in charge,
Columbia, S. G. He and his able
corps of assistants are pushing the
work with all enegry and speed
commensurate with the appropri-
ations made by the State and Fed
eral governments, that the entire
State may be released from quar-
antine as soon as possible. Twen-
ty-one counties have been re-
leased; the work is in progress,
along systematic lines, in ten other
counties and will be conducted
along preliminary lines in the re-
naming thirteen counties this
year.
In the free areas a great interest
is being taken in live stock i'm
provement; pure bred sires are be-
ing imported to improve the pres
ent strains; more cattle are being
fed during the winter months, and
with the very satisfactory method
of marketing that is being con-
Quoted by the South Carolina ex-
tension department in cooperation
with the department of agricul-
ture in Washington, the live stock
industry in these sections is well
on to the road of success. In other
words, the eradication Of the cat
tie tick is making profitable live
stock industry possible.
The benefits to be derived from
this work are of such a far-reach-
ing nature that it behooves every
public spirited citizen to lend his
moral and active support to those
engaged in conducting. it, that our
grand old State may forge to the
front in live stock raising, a po-
sition that she is especially adapt
ed for and one that she justly de-
serves.

HOG CHOLERA AND
HOW TO CONTROL IT

There are two principal meth
DDS of preventing hog cholera
one by the use of serum, and the
other by taking care to avoid the
methods of spreading the disease
which are here outlined briefly.
Hog cholera is spread by fail.
ure properly to dispose of the car.
cases of dead hogs. Buzzards.
dogs and other animals feeding
upon these carcasses can carry In
fection to other premises. All car.
cases should be burned or buried
Immediately, and buzzards should
be destroyed in communities
where they are not protected by
law. In communities where these
scavengers are thus protected, the
law should be repealed and the
birds destroyed.
Another very common method
of spreading hog cholera is walk
ing through yards or fields where
sick hogs are kept and carrying
the infection on shoes and cloth
ing to other premises where
healthy hogs are confined. It
should be remembered that dis
charges from hogs infected with
cholera are very infectious, and
the owners should not 60 or allow
any of their help to 60 on prem
ises where there are sick hogs.
Neither should they allow their
neighbors to 60 among their hogs
when cholera exists in the com
munity. Healthy hogs should be
cared for by persons who have
not been where the disease exists,
and no one else should be allowed
near the healthy drove.
Cholera may be spread by
streams receiving drainage from
infected premises, by buying hogs
from premises where the disease
exists, or from public stock yards,
or by failure to isolate newly pur-
chased hogs until their freedom
from disease has been ascertained.
These three matters deserve care
full attention.
When cholera exists in a neigh
borhood every hog owner should
establish a strict quarantine on
his individual premises. When
the disease exists on adjoining
farms hogs should be protected by
injection with anti-hog cholera
serum.
The sudden death of one or two
hogs should lead the owner to sus-
pect cholera. If upon examina-
tion of the carcasses cholera
LESSONS are found, all healthy hogs
should be moved at once to new
lots or pens until they can be in
jected with serum.i
\ farmer finding cholera
among his hogs should at once ap-
ply to the Veterinary Division,
Clemson College, for serum,
which is to be had at actual cost
of manufacture, and should Sc
cure the services of his county
farm demonstration agent, who
has been instructed in the use OF
serum.
It is the duty of all citizens to
see that the State law relative to
prompt disposal of carcasses is
strictly enforced.

CLEMSON'S HANDSOME
Y. NJ. c. A. BUILDING
Association Structure Now Being
Built at Agricultural College
Will Cost $4,000, and Will
Rank Among Finest in
Entire South.

at Clemson College there IS being
reared a magnificent structure
that, when completed, will become
an important factor in the social
and religious life of the student
body at the States agricultural
and mechanical college. It is the
building of the Young Mems
Christian Association, one of the
first association structures in the
South, and one of the finest col
lege association buildings in the
country. 1t is costing $4,000 and
was made possible by the generos-
! ity of Mr.. John D. Rockefeller,
who donated $4,000 on condition
that 5000 more should be forth
coming. The College trustees ap-
propriated $4,000, which left
$4,000 still to be raised. This
sum was made up by the loyalty
and contributions from cadets,
faculty, alumni and former stu
dents. .....,,
Work on the building is pro-
crossing well and the contract
calls for completion before Jan
uary l, 1915. The work is not be-
ing done by the college, but by
contract. The successful bidder is
Mr.. Thomas w. Cothran Of
Greenwood. The architect is Prof.
R. E. Lee, head of the division of
drawing and architectural engi-
neering at Clemson. It is a coin
cidence that Prof. Lee and Mr..
Cothran are both graduates of the
class of 1896, the first class to fin
ish at Clemson College.
The building is to, be in the
Italian Renaissance style of arcni-
lecture, of vari-colored texture
brick, with colored tile inserts,
terra Gotta and limestone trim
mings and red tile roof. The in
terror finish will be of yellow pine.
1t is to be two stories in height,
with a basement and mezzanine
floor. It will have a frontage of
12O feet and will contain about
$4,000 square feet of floor space:
1t will be heated by steam and
lighted by electricity:
The basement will contain a
large room, IS by GA feet, suitable
for basketball games, wrestling,
exercising, banquets and social
gatherings. Adjoining the hall
will be a kitchen of ample size
with modern equipment, quick
lunch room and private dining
room. This will be fitted up in
rathskellar style and will appeal
to both students and members of
the faculty. A store for the sale
of cold drinks, candies, ETC., To-
Gated in the center of the base
ment, completes this feature.
Space is provided for three
bowling alleys and for spectators:
Two of the alleys will be installed
at present.
Bathing facilities will be 10, 10,
Gated in the basement and will
consist of a locker room of ample
size, shower baths and swimming
pool. The pool is tc be 2l by 60
feet, a standard size which will
permit of official records in swim
ming and other aquatic sports
It will be finished throughout
with ceramic tile.
The main toilet for the building
will be located in the basement
adjoining the locker room:
The mezzanine floor will con,
tain spectators galleries, storage
space for the store, a large room
for college publications, a com
mittee room. a locker room fol

A Stored Spot.
Clemson College is a unique
blending of the old and the new,
of the historic with the now. Just
across the road from the cadet
dormitories, which every session
house over 500 young men, and In
sight of the new electric power
station that day or night beats as
the industrial heart Of the COM
munity, is the white columned
mansion of the illustrious John
G. Calhoun. One can almost pic
ture the great statesman, as with
hands behind him he PAGES the
avenues of cedar and oak, putting
into form those matchless ideals
of patriotism whose fulfllment he
never lived to see.
About so yards to the rear of
the mansion is queer little one
story room structure with col
umned porch to match the man
sion. This was the study" of the
great statesman, and here were
written many of his great ora
tions. Under this little study,
which is about 20 feet square, is
dug deep pit in which ice cut in
winter was stored for summer use.
How the seasons must have
changed, for only during one or
two winters of the 90 which the
writer has spent in the ''up coun-
try" has ice formed in sufficient
thickness to justify such ample
storage.
In the old mansion are many
historic relics, including a chair
used by Gen. George Washington,
and a seven-foot mohair- covered
lounge on the back of which is
carved the American eagle. 1t is
said that the engraving on our
coins was copied from this carv-
ing.
The old mansion with it's his
toric memories, the peer Of the
Hermitage, Mount Vernon and
Monticello, is priceless State and
national. asset, and should be a
perennial source of inspiration to
succeeding generations of young
South Carolinians who are priv
ileged to live for four years in the
shadow of its historic walls.
Many are wont to ask why the
college does not bear the name of
Calhoun instead of the name of
his son-in-law, Thos. G. Clemson.
The answer is that nowhere does
it appear in the records that Mr..
Calhoun ever wished or planned
the erection of an industrial and
technical college on the old home
stead. The complete story of Mr..
Clemson's part in the founding
Of the college is too long to be told
here.
A Vast Plant.
The college tract contains over
1900 acres. On the property
there are % principal public
buildings, 70 dwellings and 81
minor buildings. The college has
in its employ 4ol teachers, officers
and laborers. Its inventorled
property is Sl,327. 1851. The Of
hcers of the college send out year
" over $4,000 letters and over
435.OOO other pieces of mail mat
ter, most of which give agrlcul-
tural information.
In addition to the parent sta
ton, the college maintains two

A PEN PICTURE OF
CLEMSON COLLEGE
Works for Welfare in Many
Ways.

Picture a county estate of l 800
acres, with stately buildings
placed at elevated points to form
great irregular circle of half a
mile in diameter. 1nclose in this
circle beautiful grove of native
oaks, threaded by smooth drive
ways and paths and cement side
walks. Turn to the north and for
a background outline against the
sky at a distance of 20 miles,
range after range of mountains,
the home of the Highlands, of
Caesars Head, Whitesides and
other lofty peaks of the Blue
Ridge. Think of these mountains
as in summer clothed with YER
dure, standing out black against
the horizon, and in winter often
white with snow. Take for the
southern boundary a river of In
dian lineage and follow in its
sweeping crookedness the swift
and turbulent Seneca as it twists
this way and that to mark the
confines of the estate. And to this
setting add broad expanses OF
river bottom lands green with
corn. steep hillsides sinuous with
level grassy terraces and cool pas
lures with winding brooks and
graceful shade trees and you have
a picture of Clemson College, not
colored to suit the canvas of an
artist, but as seen every year by
nearly a thousand young South
sCaroiinians who seek. amid these
surroundings. an education that
will prepare them for self-respect-
ing, self-supporting citizenship.

such role has been allotted this COM
edian. offering. him wide field over
which to exercise his abilities in this
particular line.
1t is safe to say that without Mr..
Conklin the comedy value OF the two
reels here presented would greatly
deteriorate. But let not this state
ment be taken as to mean the picture
itself is poor. 1t is far from that, be-
ing one OF the most inventive and
original that Mack Sennett has pro-
duced.
THERE'S a wealth of trick photogra-
DIV and camera work of a most start
ling nature. Cannon balls are seen
chasing men, another is exhibited
floating serenely over the city with an
amazed policeman trailing behind, and
on the other hand the missiles some
times have a most disasterous effect.
Bridges are blown up and whole
powder mill destroyed.
The DlOt is MOST lduBHdDiC Jul
lesaue on a melodramatic theme which
has long since seen its days. Conklin
appears as an Inspector of High Elk
plosives. He visits factory and meets
the owner and his daughter. Then the
trouble begins. He covets the daughter
and her lover resists when he takes
action. But the hero triumphs finally
and the villainous inspector bothers
them no more.
The most laughable scenes arrive
when Conklin inspects the factory,
throwing cigarettes and matches about
the place with such nonchalance that
the employees are frozen with terror.
Let it be said to dispel any doubts that
an exhibitor may entertain, that abb
solutely nothing Of "a Questionable
vulgar nature puts in an appearance.
"UP FROM THE DEPTHS"
That there are revivalists and re-
formers busy for what there is in it,
from small change to large graft, that
nobility of character is rarely the out
growth of narrowness and Journalism,
that there are INSCRIPTIONS hypocrites
in the world, is unpleasantly true, but
this does not shift responsibility for
existence upon sincere religion nor
upon honest reform, hence the ethics
of up From The Depths" are some
what obscure. The story is neverthe-
