tainly will not owe the fertilizer
man as much next fall and con-
sequently you may have more
clear money after all. I will
give you below some figures
showing you the approximate
figures contained in a recent Fed
eral report which gives the rela-
tiye importance of the principal
consuming nations of the world.
United States consumes approx
imateJy 786 100000 lbs. India.
4S1, 900, ,00olbs, Germany $4,000
900 lbs, Austria Hungary 200, ,00C
900 lbs, Russia $4,000, 900 lbs.
Great Britain 98,0oo,ooo lbs,
France 96,ooo,000 lbs, Japan 81.
100000. lbs, Italy 100000 lbs:
Netherlands 100000 I give
you these figures to show yop
that the tobacco consumption OF
tine principal nations OF the
world is enormous, and that our
little thirty or forty million lbs
grown in the Palmetto State
would not go around one time
toward filing our pipes. To.
bacco is one Of the best revenue
producers in the world for all
Nations, tobacco has been mans
constant companion since it was
discovered in old Virginia
among the American Indians,
these good old pioneers sat
around their camp fires and
smoked their pipes and planned
big hunts for the following days
these Indians no doubt watched
the moon and meditated as they
blew from their pipes that was
destined to be a Panacea or the
nations of the earth as long as
time shall last. Friends I will
have plenty Of tobacco seed in
Manning some where for distri.
button later on will let you know
get seed early, pick out good
place and plant your beds where
you will be certain to have good
results, SOW plenty of plant land
early so you can select your
plants. All of you plant some,
you need not be afraid you can
glut the market with the little
amount we can grow in S. c.,
and especially with our fertilizer
proposition as it now is, give
your tobacco good attention,
make a good quality, and when
you get ready to market it come
up and see your old friend, the
tobacco man that is always on
the job, the man that loves to-
bacco and talks and follows the
tobacco business and it's inter-
est the year round, the man that
runs the Central Tobacco Ware
house up on Levi block in the
heart Of town.

We received q letter from a
friend in the county last week
advocating the candidacy Of a
man for Office next summer and
soiicitingour support. The sen
tleman who expects to enter on
the political waters is a personal
friend of ours, but we will not
commit, ourselves to any one,
and especially this early in the

co this coming year getting back
to the fertilizer question, I have
investigated matters somewhat
and find that potash will hardly
be had to amount to anything
this time, would suggest that
we use phosphoric Acid and cot
ton seed meal and stable manure
you can also add to your manure
by hauling in woods litter which
you can mix with your manures
and make them 60 further, acid
will cost about five dollars per

stand you will hardly be able to
get 8.3.3 or 8 A at all, plant rest
ed land in tobacco where you
can and you will fud that the
texture and color can be more
easily obtained: besides you will
likely get better weight, any Of
you that let your lands lay out
last year or if you have a piece
you pastured be sure and put
this in tobacco. [ have known
some of the best colory crops
grown in this way that were big
money makers, those of you
that planted tobacco last year
and did not make expenses need
not be discouraged, you did not
make any tobacco worth any
thing if you did not get d fair
price, plant a reasonable crop
of tobacco this coming year and
give 1T good attention and if you
get the proper seasons for grow
ing a crop feel sure you will
be well paid for your product,
as stated in the outset tobacco
with color and quality will bring
you a good price another year,
try and raise a reasonable crop
of cotton as we'll as your tobacco
and be sure to grow plenty of
crops for your living supplies
both for man and beast. South
Carolina did not over produce
it's self this time in growing to-
bacco, we made something like
last year or not quite as much,
I would like to say again that 1
think you can exchange your
cotton seed for meal with our
local mill which it strikes me
will be better than selling them
and buying shigh priced meal
next spring, you may not be
able to raise as many lbs Of to-
bacco as you would if you could
get plenty of fertilizer but this
condition will prevail in Eastern
North Carolina too, and you GER

Mr.. coTHRAE GIVES ADVICE TO FARM.
Frs.
Editor The Manning Times:
Will you allow me space IN
your valuable paper to mentlon
a few vital and paramount facts
about tobacco, it's culture con-
sumption and the tobacco situa'
ton in general as I see it now
and for another year 1918. To-
bscco culture with most of our
growers was a failure this year,
and when I say failure I mean
almost a complete failure. Gen
tlemen it is said that it is a hard
matter to get blood out Of a
turnip, I will grant you that this
is very true and that we only
raised the top without the turnip
this time, your tobacco for the
quality sold good, those of you
that had any color or quality
realized good living prices for
it, color is now very much in de-
mand, tobacco prices in North
Carolina and Virginia are good,
the crop up there is an inferior
one but not as much so as ours
was. Wrappers and colery to-
bacco is indeed scarce, the same
condition that caused ours to be
sorry and light. prevails in the
upper country. Seasons and the
like of potash is no doubt the
cause of the conditions as they
now stand, I haye been asked a
good many times recently what

mostly eatables which can be
grown in this country, we can
raise our breads Of all kinds, our
meats of all kinds, our farming
animals and plenty of feed of all
kinds for them, well but some
one will say how can I raise
horses, cattle, mules etc? Why
I havn't got a place to raise
them, I need all my land for
money crops, right here IS
where the secret lies: you GER.
tainly are laboring under mis-
taken idea: you do not need all
your lands for money crops,
here is what>you need, you need
to pasture a part of your lands
and raise horses. mules, cattle,
hogs and what ever other kind
of domestic animal you want to
raise, you can right here solve
your fertilizer pro lem, you will
enrich your lands, you can ex-
change your pastures from time
to time, you will have plenty of
lot manure in the fall if you take
care of it for your crop the fol.
lowing spring. Cant you see if
you do this that you will not
need so much money after all,
this is how the people in Ken
lucky, West Virginia, Indiana,
Ohio, and Illionis do most of the
cattle, hogs etc that is used by
the great packing companies Of
the west is raised IN these States
Now if these people can raise
enough hogs and cattle to almost
supply these great packing hous
es in Chicago and other places
and grow other crops and make
a good living, it stands to reason
and common sense that we can
at least raise our home supply.
We must learn to Diversity, you
can write Col. Watson, Secre-
tary of Agriculture and find out
what kind OF crop to plant that
will give your soil the most hu-
mors, you will pardon this di-
gression in my article. I start
ed out to write about tobacco, l
just could not refrain from men,
tloning the fact [ have stated
above, I have seen so much OF
this in the last three years that
I have wintered it in Kentucky,
here they grow 100000, 1000 lbs
of tobacco annually and yet they
raise in abundance all l have
been writing about, but some
one will say that Kentucky has
a better soil for growing crops
than South Carolina. we'll this is
partly true but she did not get
it by using commercial fertilizer,
they grow grass aud crimson
clover. both are soil: enrichers

are we going to doabout tobacco
fertilizer another year? Friends
I am not soil or fertilizer eX-
pert. I will say this much in the
outset that we have always used
too much commercial fertilizer,
I believe this present situation
Will certainly be a blessing to us
all in disguise. We are going to
learn the same lesson that this
great government of ours has
learned. Since this European
war has been in progress our
Government and great minds
among private citizens and indi-
viduals all over this country Of
ours have learned to mapufac
ture and invent many things
that we have always thought we
had to import from Europe,
among the most important dyes
and potash, only recently we
have learned by research that
some of our North Western
States contains rich potash beds
in the shape of Alunite. these
no doubt will be mined and be a
great blessing and saving of
many millions annually to this
country that heretofore has
been going to Germany. We as
private individuals must learn
to solve problemand work out
things that will be of great ben
eft to US, our neighbors, our
State and country in general, but
some one says how can we do
this, is your theory practical: l
will say yes necessity was the
mother of invention: now if we
cant get the usual amount of
high priced fertilizers that we
have been using heretofore, are
we going to sit down on the
stool of do nothing and wait un-
til the European war is over?
No we are going TO be protited
by this blessing that has come
to as in the shape of a disguise,
We are going to learn to econl-
mize, we are going to learn how
to grow crops by other means
than the use of too much high
priced fertilizer and owe all we
make in the fall to the fertilizer
man, but some one says we cant
do G1lS 1Of we cOuld nOG raise aS
much tobacco and cotton as we
have been growing heretofore,
and you know we worship mon
ey crops and especially King
cotton. Friends I want to ask
you a question and answer it my
self. what on earth do we want
with money anyway? Isn't mon
ey something that you. exchange
for the necessities of life? Well
but what are necessities of life?
The necessities Of life consist of

HOGS FOR WOOD PASTURE.
Tamworths Recommended as Good
Breed for This Purpose.

Clemson College. July SIN answer
to n recent inquiry as to tho best
breed OF hogs for wood pasture,
where the hogs would have consider
able range. the animal husbandry
division OF Clemson College recon-
mends the Tamworth.
The division states that there Is no
one breed that can be called best
for conditions. but that whore good
rustlers that will make good pork are
wanted. the Tamworth will answer.
Under normal conditions the Tam
worth Is a good rustler and produces
large litters. II Is hog OF the bacon
type and the quality OF the meat Is
high. The Tamworth does not ma.
ture as rapidly as breeds OF lard type
such as the Berkshire and Duroc.
Jersey. but for wood pasture. where
considerable rustling would be neces
sary. the Tamworth would probably
be preferable.
The animal husbandry division rec
ommends that some forage. such a!
rape. cowpeas. etc. be provided fol
hogs under such conditions, I'm ad
dition to the mast that they get in tn,
