POULTRY WORK AT WINTHROP.
Present Year Will Wit ,ess Great Ex-
tension of Efficiency.

Rock Hill, Feb. 6.-During 1914
there was poultry work in four of
the organized counties by home dem
onstratiCn agents of Winthrop Col
lege. This work will be taken up in
a large number Of the counties this
year. A limited number Of the home
demonstrators will specialize on this
feature of the work. 1t is the pur-
pose to have these demonstrators
grade and Standardize the eggs and
chickens for sale. Winthrop College
also wants them to be able to show
communities how to ship eggs by
parcel post, using the most modern
containers for such purpose. Two Of
the counties last year had demonstra-
tions in shipping by parcel post.
The Winthrop College poultry
plant has grown rapidly, and new
buildings and fences cover a large
portion Of the 10-acre grove in which
1t is located. Pure bred barred
rocks, buff and white orpingtons and
white leghorns are kept. The eggs
are delivered to the college dining
hall, and those from best matings
are sold to the public for Matching.
Twelve hundred eggs were placed in
the incubators February l. Many
visitors from several parts of the
State have been in to inspect the
plant. The chickens are fed grain
grown here and cotton seed meal.
The result of feeding cotton seed
meal to chickens will be watched by
many chicken growers over the
State.
Another service this plant renders
is to furnish, along with the dairy
and other farm activities, a labora-
tory for practical work for the $40
students who take agriculture each
year
Twenty new colony houses are
now being built at the Winthrop
plant, preparatory for handling the
birds as they outgrow the brooder

Federal District Prospects Brighter

Washington, Feb. 5.-Prospects of
legislation for appointment of dis
trict Judge, attorney and marshal for
the Western Federal District Of South
Caroline frightened decidedly when
the judiciary committee of the
House, attended by several members
of the Palmetto delegation, voted 20
report favorably the bill introduced
by Congressman Wyatt Aiken on the
14th of January.
1T is believed that if the measure
can be put through the House with
out having the celebrated Cullop
amendment attached to it, as it has
been to similar bills during the past
few years. it will be possible to Sc.
cure action by the Senate at the pres
ent session. The effect Of the Cul-
lop amendment hitherto has been to
pigeonhole bills in the Senate judi
ciary committee. This amendment
provides that jAC President shall

PROHIBITS EXPORT OF POTASH
Action of the German Government
Will BE Felt in s. Carolina.

Charleston, Feb. 4.-Notice that 1t
will be impossible to import any
more potash from Germany was re-
ceiVed yesterday by officials of the
Combahee Fertilizer Company here
from A. Vogel, representative general
for the German Potash Syndicate in
the United States and Canada. The
notice states that the German gov
ernment has absolutely prohibited
the expectation Of all potash salts,
and as the worlds supply Of this
material has come from that country
there Is now no source of supply for
American manufacturers.
The action Of the German govern
ment will be felt as strongly in Char
lesion as in any other place in this
country owing to this city's large
number Of plants for the manufac-
ture of fertilizer. According to reli-
able information, however, the shut
ting off of the potash supply will not
result in the shutting down of any of
the local plants, as the management
Of the respective factories showed
foresight by getting a large supply
early in the season
Controlled by a Syndicate.
The potash industry is controlled
by the German Kali Syndicate, bet
ter known in America as the German
Potash Syndicate. No other source
Of getting this indispensable mate
rial for fertilizer has been discovered
and no substitute for the natural pot
ash salts has been discovered in spite
of extensive research work This
work was started Immediately after
the declaration Of war in Europe,
because American manufacturers re-
allied that it was very likely that
Germany could not furnish the ma
terial.
The supply has been very small
since the beginning Of the war, ac-
cording to w. w. Molloy, general
manager Of the Combahee Fertilizer
Company. Shipments have been re-
| ceived, however, he said, all Of the
material being exported from Rot
| terdam.
Potash salts are an essential in
| gredient of fertilizer for use on the
| lands of this part of the United
States, according to Mr.. Molloy. Diff
ferent grades Of fertilizer require
! different grades Of the potash salts.
IN the high grade fertilizers. such as
are used on tobacco lands, u concen~
| trated form oi the potash salts Is
used.

Then Won Hindenberg Hit
Them ON Front and Flank.
(By Karl H. Won wlegand.)

Berlin, via Wireless, Feb. 49,
Again all Germany rejoices. and once
more it is ''the old man of the lakes
who has aroused the national spirit.
AS the news continues to arrive from
the East Prussian front, it becomes
Russians have had their entire Of
fensive completely crushed. They
have been expelled from German ter
ritory and their retreat is described
by officials who are cognizant of the
situation, as dangerously near q
rOut."
While the Germans are pursuing
their late antagonists. who were con-
fident week ago that they held all
of East Prussia in their grasp, only
the meager details of the victory have
been made public. But the general
Stairs report places the number of
prisoners at not less than 10000, with
many guns and machine guns and
enormous quantities of war materials.
In addition, it is declared the Russians
had many of their crack first line
forces, including the Siberian rifle
corps. badly cut up.
The Russians have once again prov
en- victims to General Won linden
berg's superb strategy. No attempt
was made to halt their swift advance
and the German forces continued to
fall back before them. Then when
conditions were favorable. the Ger
mans struck from the front and both
flanks and forced retreat so pre-
cipitate that many of the Russians
were compelled to abandon all of their
supplies.
That the defeat was not a rout was
due entirely to the new feature of war
fare-air scouting. The Russian avia-
tors discovered the manner in which
the German commander was dispos-
ing his forces, and in order to avoid
possible humiliation the Immediate
withdrawal of the cars troops from
German territory was ordered
