The Tobacco, cottof and Fertilizer Sit

E. w. Duyall.
Hartsville, S. c. Jan. 3rd 1914

Hartsville, S. c. Jan. 3rd 1914
Mr. +. w. Duvall, Cheraw, S. G.
My dear Sir-Yours of Jan. 1st in
reference to the situation as regards
tobacco planting, is to hand.
l have never been a student of
tobacco and tobacco marketing, but
will transmit to you a few ideas which
l have gotten from men who are better
posted, and which appear to me to have
some value.
Tobacco is a large consumer Of pO-
taSh. and it will probably not pay t.
plant this crop upon light lands which
there is an insufficient supply Of vega
table matter unless a plentiful supply
Of stable manure or woods surf is used
to supply this deficiency. Stable
manure and hard wood leaves contain
considerable portion Of potash.
Fresh lands. l think, will be best fOl
tobacco planting. for these are general
ly better supplied with potash than
the older lands.
From what l can learn the outlook
for prices Oh bright tobacco is good,
for, the low prices last fall and the
absence Of potash supply will deteb
many people from planting and the
prices right now are at fair figure.
am great believer in diversifl>
cation, and think that farmers who
have suitable land and who are fami-
liar with the culture Of tobacco should
not abandon it. l think they should
Use ii liberal amount (say 1000 lbs. per
acre. of Il fertilizer analizing about
$50 phosphOric acid and 40 ammonia,
and this with liberal amount of stable
manure or surf should produce fairly
good crop on such lands as / have

Tobacco requires more potash than
most other crops, and at this time we
= are confronted with lack of it In our
fertilizers, so that it will be necessary
for those who plant tobacco tc select
lands for the present that have not
recently been planted in tobacco.
Tobacco does best on lands never plant
ed in tobacco before or rested for one
year, and will do well after cotton, but
1t should never be planted after peas,
even though the crop Of peas was small,
nor should it be planted in ground that
has been too recently cleared. / know
that it is good practice to plant tobac
co after peas and in new ground in the
Old Belt Of North Carolina, and l

very poor crop, If not an absolute fail.
ure.
The Burley tobacco crop in Kentucky
has recently been found to be about
one hundred million pounds short Of
y expectations, and there will probably
be less tobacco planted in the lower
! part Of this state and in the eastern
i part Of North Carolina than last year.
= The price Of tobacco is fairly good at
+ present and we have quite as much
= assurance of obtaining good price
< for tobacco next year as we have for
: cotton.
The reason advanced by some for not
planting tobacco because they are un-
liable to obtain complete tobacco fer
ftlizer should appeal equally to them
SO net ,RlantaHs hf 5i cotton Cd sasasa5lsee
fertilizer for them also.
g Owing to the high price for the com.
mon tobacco for the past five or six
years, and the prevailing tendency Of
prices, for the medium and common
grades, tobacco should be planted in
pretty good land with the endeavor to
make as large as yield as possible, even
tho it be done by slightly sacrificing
the quality.
In regard to fertilizer would advise
five or six two horse wagon loads Of
horse stable manure per acre, and eight
to twelve hundred pounds of the best
tobacco fertilizer that can be obtained
from some reliable firm. Good serf
and well rotted leaf mould would be
valuable.
Plant beds should be scwed as soon
as possible and should be covered over
at once with tobacco cloth. Early
crops as Nule have proved best. 1t
Is very advantageous to have early
plants and to get them out before the
weather gets too warm, because labor
is more plentiful, and they live much
easier and produce better tobacco.
The best varieties are the Wann and
yellow OrOnOkO White Stem OrOnOko.
\ table spoon OF seeds barely struck
level to one hundred square yards is the
proper amount to plant now. Half
this quantity should be sOwed the first
week in March OH top Of the cloth with
out removing it. These seed will come
up later and will not interfere with
the first planting and will furnish nice
plants for replanting
| hope this will be Of some service
to you.
Yours truly,
Fright Williamson

Moran's National League Champs
cIashM Griffmen This Afternoon

The Philadelphia Nationals, champions
Of the Tener circuit last year, will open
three-game series against the Grill
men here this afternoon and local fans
who have seen the Brooklyn Dodgers
and Boston Braves perform. can draw
their own conclusions as to the relative
strength of the National Leaguers.
Grin has decided to start young
George Dumont against the Phillies, with
Sam Rice held In reserve. Dumont VIII
go the entire route II the strain is not
too great. for he is in tip-top shape.
Pat Moran. who arrived with his club
shortly before midnight, stated that he
might work Al Dmaree part Of the game,
especially IL the weather was warm.
The PhilIies will present the same bat
ting order in evidence last fall. when the
Boston Red Sox were tackled in the
worlds series.
According to reports, the Quakers are
In excellent physical condition and en-
joyed perfect weather down in St. Peters
burg, Fla.
Chief Bender. the former Athletics star
pitcher, is with the Moran crew, and is
sure to be sent against the Griffmen dur
ing the present series.
Sss
1t is plainly evident that the Nationals
are not showing their true form, especi-
ally at the bat. for with the exception
of Milan and Foster, nobody on the club
is hitting a lick. Joe Judge is in a big
slump, not showing anywhere near the
class in evidence late last summer or
during the training camp days.
A slump right now in hitting is
nothing over which to be worried
the club finds itself by the
time the championship season opens
next week.

BOSTON BRAVES
FINALLY WIN
Stallings' National Leaguers
Capture Exhibition Game
by Score Of 4 to !.
BOEHLING Is HIT HARD
Beaneaters Get to Blond Southpaw in
Ninth Inning for Enough
Runs to Win.
ny WILLIAM PEET.

The Boston Braves took advantage OF
Joe Boehling's wlldness during the clos
ing chapters of yesterdays exhibition
game to break the existing deadlock and
put over tailies to win by to /.
Boehling for the first time this spring,
attempted 70 put a lot of stuff on The
ball, with the result that he was in-
variably in a hole and lucky to escape
being scored against only four times
Doc Ayers. who pitched the first FIVE
chapters, was unhittable The visitors
got to Ayers for only one hit, a single
by Compton in the third.
Dick Rudolph, considered the most de-
pendable twirler in StaIlings' stable, was
touched up freely during the Ave In
nings he was on the mound. George
Tyler, the veteran southpaw, who fin
ished the game, was very much Of an
enigma
Manager Grifith shook I'D his oatting
order by benching Henri Rondeau and
turner Barber, playing Shanks I'm left
held and Jameson in right.
Ed Charity was behind the bat AMI
turned back the only man who ATTEMPTED
to steal. besides leading the Grifrmen with
the stick. coming across with a couple
of safe swats.
1t was on Rudolph that the GrIfrinen
scored run ana incidentally avcrted
a shut-out. The tally came in the sec
ond inning when Shanks, Jameson and
Mcbride laid down singles in turn and
the first named crossed the plato on
Gharrttys Srounder to MaranyiIle, fUrc-
ing Mcbride at second base.
After the second inning Charity, by
virtue of clean-cut singles in the fifth
and eighth. was the only National to
reach first base
Doc Ayers never looked better His
control was almost perfect and the
Braves were helpless before him Double
plays In the first and third innings
showed that Grif's infielders were in
midsesson form.
From the time Boehling entered the
box in the sixth inning the Richmond
southpew was always in hot water
Three singles in this chapter an da base
on balls tied the score
The Braves were much in evidence on
the baseS in the seventh and eighth, but
Boehling managed to sidestep trouble.
In the ninth. however. the stun was OF,
and the National Leaguers earned the
victory. Smith, Snodgrass and Tregres-
ser In the order named hit safely, filling
the basses. Boehling walked Tyler, a
weak hitter. forcing in Smith. Maran-
Vile singled to center. scoring Snodgrass
and Tresresser. Then the blond south
paw settled down and retired the side
after 1t was too late. The score:

ToDAY's BATTING ORDER.

AS a matter of fact 1t was to be ex-
pected that the home club would
slump a bit after the training camp
season, and there is every reason to
believe that the team will return to
form when victories really count.
With the Nationals hitting slump
comes a decided lack of pep" and ag-
gressiveness which should be remedied
at once.

day was the only member OF the Ma
tionals who showed signs of life.
