INFORMATION FOR FARMERS.
Views AS to Potash as II Fertilizer
for OcOnee County.

Westminster, Dec. 29.--Thinking
that many OF our customers we're
making Il mistake in advocating the
use OF so much potash in their fcrti-
iiZ"r the coming season, we wrote
the Clemson Agricultural College
the following letter:
Gentlemen: We think that about
half the farmers in Oconee county
who had rot in their cotton last year
feel that this was due to not using
potash. There is a great deal of agi-
tation in regard to use of potash
goods.
Personally, we fell that the farm
crs Of Oconee will make a big mis-
take II they use so much high-priced
fertilizer containing potash. One
per cent potash would do very well,
but think most Of them will want
two per cent.
If you feel like writing a letter
and haVlng 1t put in our county pa
perS along this line, would appreci-
ate it very much. We think that a
great deal Of emphasis should be
made and get their attention to this
We are prepared to make potash
goods. b'it feel like expenditure is
going to be unnecessary.
Yours very truly,
Westminster Oil e Fertilizer Co.
To this letter we received the fol-
lowing answer:
*. w. Marett, Westminster, S. G..
Dear Sir: Your letter OF Dcccm-
Der Is to Clemson Agricultural Col
lcSc has been referred to me for an
Swcr. | notice what you say about
the inclination OF the farmers Of
Ocon"c to buy potash at the present
hi"h prices. Potash when it was
bringing soc. per unit barely gave
enough increase to pay for the cost
OF the potash, and where heavily
used it has a tendency to lengthen
the growing season, and as you know
that il IS quite undesirable in this
will make Il mistake in paying $40
per ton more to get 2 per cent pot
ash in their fertilizer. In my opin-
ion, the fertilizer analyzing $40
will give best results on lower yield
ing soil and 1880 on the soil that
is in high state o: cultivation.
Very truly yours,
7. T.. Keitt, Chemist.
We understa I'd that potash is very
profitably used in the sandy soils in
the middle part OF the State and be-
lievc that some sandy soils Of Oco-
nee county need potash. We,helieve
that cotton seed meal will Gontain
all the potash that most of our far
mcrs will have any need for. We
bought. some time ago, 1,S00 worth
OF potash simply bee, use the trade
was going to demand it.
Very truly yours,
Westminster Oil & Fertilizer Co.
