Potash in the Soil.

The matter of obtaining potash for
making balanced fertilizer for the
crops of 1915 is causing much concern
among thoughtful farmers as well as
among fertilizer manufacturers. How
ever, when it is known that the aver
age clay soil contains already a large
supply Of potash the chief concern
should be in converting that into solu-
BILE or available plant food.
It has been estimated by competent
chemists that ordinary clay soil con-
sains in the first six inches about TO-
900 to $4,000 pounds of potash pc,
acre. But in the condition in which
nature. stores it the potash can not be
taken up through the root system Of
the plants. The soil has to be SO treat
ed, or. something applied, that will
render this element of plant food avail
able. This can be accomplished by the

Mills Resist Law.

North Carolina has a law requiring
flour mills that make bleached flour to
pay special license of SIS per annum
and also requires that every package
of bleached flour shall be SO marked.
This puts the consumer on notice as to
what he is buying.
Thirty.four -four mills have united in
a suit against the agricultural depart
ment of North Carolina to prevent the
enforcement of the law, upon the
ground that it is unconstitutional and
that it is injuring their business. We
believe the mills will lose their suit,
as they should do. II is claimed and
currently believed that -four is less
nutritious after being subjected to the
process of bleaching. Then why should
not the public be put on notice that
the product has been artifcially bleach.
ed? We heartily approve of every
safeguard possible being thrown around
all food products. If food products are
free from adulteration and are
prepared in way that will not injure
the consumer, why should manufac-
turer object to having the label show
what package contains? The fact
that objection is raised makes one sus-
pect the quality of the contents.

A Wise Precaution.

Governor Manning is to be commend
ed for the precautionary step which he
took in ordering the militia out IN
Charleston to preserve order in the
municipal election to day. There had
been SO many ugly rumors and the sit
nation appeared to be 80 threatening
that he would almost have been guilty
of criminal negligence had he not
taken some important step to pre-
serve the peace and dignity OF the city
and state. ,.,,
Different people may have different
opinions but we will always believe thai
had not the militia been ordered Out
the election would not have been tan
one. -Spartanburg Journal.

Will Not Offend Yankees.

The EUROPEANS may make fun of

respect for Yankee dollars. Both sides

evidence every day that neither side

Many changes have been made in the plans for the University of Ar kansas Summer School on account of Governor Hays veto Of the item of $2,000 for it's support, according to Dr. J. R. Jewell, dean of the summer school On account of the item for the maintenance of the College of Arts and Sciences being vetoed no funds are available from that source and the only thing that can be done is to change the summer school into kind of teachers institute. No college work will be given except the courses securing county, professional and state teachers license
 Plans are being arranged for big institute and normal to furnish a place where teachers may have an opportun- ity to raise their grades and secure expert knowledge. Arrangements have been made with George B. Cook, state superintendent of public instruction, to give a special examination at the end of the term for any grade of teachers license
 Dr. Jewell said the summer school would not be seriously handicapped on account of the lack of sufficient means to give college work, because the num- Der taking those courses in the past was very small in comparison with the number taking courses in education
 We are going to give what people seem to want to come here for and if enough want college work arrange ments will be made for college work to be given he said.
