Fertilizers for the Garden.

Many garden soils need certain
forms of commercial plant food in
addition to that found in barnyard
manure, the kind of fertilizer gen.
orally used on garden soil. While
it is seldom that too much barnyard
manure is used on the garden, ex.
cept where it is rather fresh or not
well decomposed, it is fact Otter
that potassium and phosphate are
also needed to supplement the ma
nure.
In preparing the garden soil ir
winter or very early spring arrange
ments should be made in many in
stances to apply acid phosphate
or ground rock phosphate TO sup
plement the manure. Potassium
either in the form of potash salts
or wood ashes would often increase
the yield and usuality of certain
vegetables.
Experience has taught that quail
ity and yield of vegetables are
very largely dependent upon the
available phosphoric acid and pot
ash in the soil. Where the nitro
gen and humus content Of the soil
are increased it is generally advisa'
bic to increase the phosphoric acid
and potash. This can be done by
applying the commercial forms
mentioned above.
Phosphate acid is especially i'm
portant to most garden vegetables.
Such plants as beans, peas, cante'
loupes, turnips, beats, squashes, cab,
bages, etc., require considerable
phosphoric acid in an available
form. The soil may contain enough
aud it may not. When the yield is
increased by liberal application OF
barnyard manure the larger yields
obtained will soon reduce the avail
able phosphoric acid to a basis
where more will be needed. Farm

Weekly Cotton Letter.

Political situations as are devel-
oping in Russia and Italy have had
no bearing upon values in the cot
ton market during the past week.
The report of the National Ginners,
which always attempts to forecast
the figures of the Government,
showing the amount Of cotton ginn-
ed up to November 18th indicates
the amount of cotton ginned in this
period well in excess of the same
period last year, but came upon the
market without effect or influence.
The idea that is being seized upon
by those people that are looking for
lower prices on the cotton market
is the question of Government con-
troll, and the rumor to the effect
that this would happen gained wide
circulation on Friday afternoon and
caused quite considerable amount
of liquidation in the New York
contract market.
This question of Government
control OF the trading Oil the New
York Cotton Excange seems to be
the one factor at the moment as ef-
eecting contracts upon that exchange.
The probability of immediate ac-
tion upon this idea is however ex-
tremely remote, and we see no rea-
son, even If trading was prohibited
upon the New Yolk Cotton Ex-,
change, why it should effect the
value Of spot cottons distributed
and financed throughout all sections
of the cotton belt 1t is true that
prices at the present moment repre-
sent large financing and large re-
sponsibllities, but the situation, as
far as cotton is concerned, seems
sound and while fluctuations may
be wide and higher level in spot
values may be looked for due to
the requirements of consumers
and existing scarcity of supplies.
Yours very truly,

Open Letter to the Farmer.

Open Letter to the Farmer.
Present abnormal conditions in
the agricultural and financial sit
uation Of our State requires serious
thought by all of our people, but
especially by our farmers.
The following are some of the
prominent features requiring con-
sideration:
l. The abnormal farm profits
ranging (I estimate) at from four to
ten times the average in different
parts of the State.
2. The great scarcity and high
prices of fertilizers, present prices
being about 80 per cent higher than
last year.
8. The scarcity and high price
of food products. This condition
will certainly last as long as the
war.
4. The presence in our State of
the boil weevil, which may be ex-
;pected to- -coverthe entire State with
in two years and seriously affect cot
ton production in 1919 or 1920.
5. The indequate and congested
Transportation facilities by both land
and water.
6. The obligation which rests
upon every citizen to Loyalty re-
spond to the needs of our govern
ment at war.
There is abundant evidence that
many of our p.ople are engaged in
perfect orgy of money spending.
l was told today of large plantation
upon which the tenants had each
made net profit of from $500. 90
20 sl50O.Oo, and that all of those
tenants together could probably not
raise $4,000 in cash today.
Thousands of mules are being
shipped into the State, and many are
being sold to farmers who can get
along without them. All will have
to be fed for four months or more
on high. priced corn and forage, be-
fore they will be of much use.
Premiums over the cash price are
being paid for automobiles. / know
of $4,000 having been offered for
a Ford car that had been in service
several months. Many are buying
automobiles who will very shortly
have no money to pay for gasoline
and repairs,
The intelligent citizens of the
State can do no more patriotic SER
vice at the present juncture than to
vigorously preach against the extra
vagance which many of our people
are indulging in. They need to be
told that this Is time which requires
the exercise of sound business judg-
ment as we'll as of united patriotic
cooperation with the government.
They need to be told that the man
who now has in hand enough money
to run his next years crop and spends
it unwisely before next spring will
show such poor business judgment
that he will be, and should be, re-
garded as very dangerous credit
risk by the banker and merchant.
They should be told that it is wise
to buy fertilizers right away and
have them shipped out, as there is
great danger that the late buyer and
the credit buyer will not be able to
get any fertilizers or will not receive
them on time.
They ueed to have their attention
directed to the fact that in every
State which the boil weevil has
invaded cotton production has
promptly decreased, land values
have fallen and great distress and
disorganization have followed.
They need to be told that the
success of our agriculture as we'll as
the success of our Nation in this
great war for human liberty, will be
jeopardized if the farmer does not

Child.

The heroic efforts on part OF
Nehemiah, the walls Of Jerusalem
were rebuilt but not without cooper
alton on part of the people, while
we learn he bad to deal with different
classes of people. Just so it is, in
this great conflict, with the Nations.
There are persons with various
opinions, yet our President will lead
US to victory. Therefore we must CO.
operate with our government. So
may we rejoice as David did in the
thought that His Kingdom ruleth
over alp.
We are so glad to report good
and interesting meeting of Social
Circle No. 8 held at Mrs. Irene
Dorn's.
Next meeting at Mrs. Annie Ham
mouds on Friday p. N. before third
Sunday in December.
Mrs. Charley Parkman's friends
deeply sympathize with her in the
death of her sister, MRS. Frank
Quarles, who leaves two small
children.
The little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Press Thurmond of Fork of

day. Rev. 6. w. Bussey conducted
funeral services. Edra was sick for
quite long while and suffered in
tensely. The sympathy of large
circle of friends goes out to the
bereaved family.
The Y. w. A. had splendid
meeting last Sunday quite an inter-
esting programme.
Mr.. Mamie Bussey spent week
end with Mrs. Zelphia Thurmond.
She had as her guests also, her grand
son Mr.. Cleo norn and wife from
Augusta. .sffF's
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnnie Mathis and
children from Golfers visited in
Red Oak Grove section last week.
Mr.. E. A. Rogers from Callison,
Greenwood county, is visiting re-
latives among us. Mr.. Rogers is
substantial farmer, and says now is
fine season to plant wheat while
ground is dry.
Some of our neighbors are wishing
for more cold weather. They have
pork ready to be killed and want to
save the corn. Say hogs are wasting
it now. Plenty of hog and
hominy" is motto of many of our
neighbors, in fact most every one
has nice hogs to kill and made good
corn crops.
Mr.. T. w. Lamb has been busy
trying to solicit subscription for Y.
M. G. A. Nearly every one ap-
preached has contributed some.
The Titles" make big sum when
put together, and feel sure each one
will feel better for having helped
is such a worthy cause.
1t was our pleasure to visit in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. F. P. Baileys
last Sunday. They like many parents
today, have boys awaiting summons
to go III defense of their country.
The courage and cheerfulness which
they manifest is worthy of mention.
The influence of parents cheerful
ness and courage will strengthen our
boys to efficient service on the battle
fields.
We trust our people will not neg
lect the assembling of themselves
together in a service of prayer and
thanksgiving on next Thursday Goth.
Where there is unity, there is
strength. Some of ourladies contem-
plate attending the Y. w. G. A.
meeting at Edgefeld next Saturday.
We hope there will be large atten-
dance.
