To The Editors Of south Carolina:

Gentlemen: The agricultural status
of South Carolina hange in the balance
this year. The heavy winter rails
caused great teaching OF plant foods
from our soils. The wet. condition OF
the soil made careful and proper prep
aration well-nigh impossible. IF the
European war is prolonged another
year or even ten months, next year our
farmers wilt be unable to obtain their
customary supplies of German Potash,
recently I sent you copy OF Bulletin
So on soil and Seed Inoculation with
Miro Culture, the ]egume incubation
material wisely authorized DO the Cen
eral Assembly at its last session.
LegumeS planted in the most extensive
way possible and inoculated with Nitro
Culture will give our farmers all the
Nitrates they require for their next
crop. If inoculated cowpeas, or sow
beans planted on grain stubble, IN corn
when the crop is 'siaid by," or be
s.hogged Off or, still better, cut all to
pieces with a disc and turned under
and rolled down, great amount OF
humus-the life of the soil-will re-
suit. If the farmer will then use one
ton per acre of finely ground limestone
the decaying vegetable matter in the
presence of the lime, will make the
Potash in the soil as an insoluble COM
pound a ready available form OF Potash
that the next crop can reach. This is
the way out for our people.
Touth Carolina needs the co-opera-
tion OF its Editors and their papers as
muck in this campaign as it did in the
great champion Campaign OF 1876.
With your assistance, driving home by
plain and hard facts the money value
of soil inocEiation through Nitro-Cul-
ture, the imperative necessity for best
results of inoculating cowpeas, soy
beans, velvet beans and peanuts, even
where these crops can be grown with
out artificial incubation, this period OF
stress and trial can be changed from
calamity to an unfeigned blessing, and
our soils be made richer, and our farm
ers taught the simple truths of perma-
nent soil fertility as never before.
Plenty OF humus" is only another
way of saoing "feed the soil,' and as
unfortunately we have no general live
stock industry, We can only do this by
growing and turning under green ma
nure crops, and then using limestone
to rot them doowr properly, and we
will 60 long way toward working out
our agricultural salvation this year,
If you have not received the Bulletin
No. So, and will kindly notify me by
postcard, I will be glad to send you
another copy under personal cover. 1t
contains many valuable suggestions for
our farmers that you can use to advan-
tage 10 your news columns.
From time to time, will be glad to
send you short articles, embodying the
experience and results Of practical
farmers through legume incubation,
and if you will print them you will not
only help your readers, but increase
the number, for there are few greater
aids to increased circulation than a
more prosperous farming community.
Are you with US in the campaign for
more and better crops produced at low
er cost?
Ever mindful of the cooperation you
have always given me in the work OF
this Department, I am faithfully yours,

rIME,sAs COME FOR VAR oE POTATO
BUG

BUG
That common pest, the potato
bug, is new requiring attention
IN South Carolina potato fields
and vegetable gardens, accord
ing to A. F. Conrad, entomolog-
ist OF Clemson College. For the
sake of the States spuds, he de-
Escr;bes methods of waging war
upon the bug.
'There are two forms of pois-
on used for killing the potato
bug, !. says Prof. Conradi. ''The
best is arsenate of lead. Paris
green is also extensively used.
Arsenate of lead is purchased in
two forms, paste and powder,
The powder is recommended FOR
the reason that it is more easily
handled, cannot freeze and can.
not dry up. For large areas this
powder is used at the rate of l
ID to so gallons sof water. In
making up arsenate of lead or
lead or Paris green solutions
slways stir the poison with a lit
tie water to the thickness Of
white wash before it is added to
the bulk of water. Paris green
lis made up In the same way as
srsenate of lead, except that the
rate is Ia ID of Paris green to
so gallons Of water"
For the small family garden,
says the entomologist, arsenate
of lead powder is used at the
rate of a heaping teaspoonful to
"a pail of water. Paris green,
at the rate of a level teaspoonful
to a pail of water. Paris green
should not be sprayed on the
plants without the addition of a
little whltewash to the spray.
This can be accomplished by
stacking a lump Of quick lime
with a little warm water and
adding it to the paid of spray.
Arsenate of lead powder or
Paris green may be busted. For
the family garden it can be dust.
ed through a muslin or cheese
cloth sack or through an old
tomato cansswith g number of
small holes punched in the bot
tom. The best time to dust in
this way is in the morning when
dew is on, because then it sticks
better. Arsenate of lead may be
busted alone without injury and
for young tomatoes should be
busted at the rate of about ! to
2 lbs to the acre. IF one seems
to be using too much of it and
has trouble, it can be mixed one
half it's weight with air slaked
lime and busted literally.
To dust Paris green, add a
teaspoonful of Paris green to a
quart of air .slaked lime and mix
thoroughly and then dust on
plants in the morning while the
dew is yet on them.
Where one desires to spray
the powder, any kind of spray
pump with a fine nozzle is salts
factory. Some people apply the
spray by means of a whlsk
broom and still others with pine
brush tied together. Although
crude and somewhat wasteful,
this serves the purpose in the
small family garden.
