Grain Sowing.

When you sow with three-disc

selling three-disc grain drills, but
there are people here who do. You
can get the grain drills-but we are
selling Fertilizer, and the best that
is made; the very best put in sacks;
the best by test of result. And that
is what you want-the best by test
of results. We could not supply the
demand last spring nor the spring Of
1916. Sold out and swept the floors.
1t must be pretty good Fertilizer
for there to be such a demand for it.
1t isn't our winning ways that sells
the goods, at least we have been re-
lfably informed that our winning
ways did not add to the sales to speak
of. 1t is just the natural, inherent
virtue of the goods that makes the
crops and that creates the demand.
We have it now-fine and dry. See
us for prices. Cash December first.
If you can use it in bulk (unsack-

FERTILIZING OF WHEAT.

The following statement concern
ing the fertilization Of wheat this fall
was issued by the Department Of Ag-
ricultural Extension at Purdue Uni
versity, July 81, 1917:
The fertilization of the wheat crop
was never more important than 1t
will be this fall. From every part of
Indiana come reports of the excellent
results secured from fertilization, and
the very poor yields Of wheat secur-
ed from unfertilized SOIL By fertiliz-
ing, the farmer swaps dollars for
eagles.
evidence on the profitableness of
fertilizing the wheat is abundant. In
1916 l.. NJ. Waggoner, Of st. Joseph
county, applied 200 pounds of Acid
Phosphate to the acre, on all but a
small part of a field sown in wheat.
From the fertilized part he secured
PA bushels Of wheat to the acre,
and on the unfertilized, 1875 bushels
to the acre-a gain Of 90 bushels,
due to fertilizing.''
This year zoo pounds of Acid
Phosphate will cost about $2.25, and
wheat is worth $500 per bushel On
this basis the increase secured by Mr..
Waggoner would be worth $3.50,
and the profit after counting ex-
penses of applying fertilizer and pay
ing for harvesting and marketing the
increased crop would be more than
$500 an acre. If this isn't case Of
swapping dollars for eagles it comes
very near TO it.
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1917-09-26

The United States Government
guarantees minimum price Of $500
a bushel for wheat harvested in 1918.
1t ought not to be very difficult
matter to induce patriotic farmer
to raise wheat at $500 bushel.
South Carolina farmers are asked to
increase their wheat acreage AZ per
cent this year. This also should be
easy to accomplish.
Two-dollar wheat means high flour,
for when you pay $500 for wheat
and then pay the millers' tool, rail-
road freight and the dealers profit,
your -four will cost you a pretty stiff
price. 1t takes six bushels Of wheat
to make the kind Of -four the most
Of you buy-millers and railroads
and dealers have their profit; they
won't work for nothing and board
themselves. The result is you can
make your flour cheaper than you can
buy it,
And besides it will pay a man to
sow wheat for the stubble. There
has been considerable trouble the
last few years to get an early stand
Of cotton, but there has been no trou-
BILE to get an early stand Of cotton
when it Is planted after stubble. An
early stand is going to be exceeding
ly important when the boil weevil
strikes you, and it is going to strike
you, and when it does the early cot
ton is all you will have to pick. When
the boil weevil comes, it will be July
crop or no crop. And your July crop
will not be very heavy on cotton that
comes up in June. 1t will be the early
cotton that you will pick, and stubble
mighty nearly guarantees a quick
stand. You can't SOW down all your
land at once and it Is a good year to
begin when you are guaranteed $2.00
bushel for your wheat.

The Ohio Experiment Station, of
Wooster, as an average for the last
% years, has secured an increase of
SO bushels of wheat to the acre from
an application Of 100 pounds of Aicd
Phosphate to the acre. The unphos-
phated yield has been 11.2 bushels,
and the phosphated 1872 bushels.
Where 100 pounds of Potash has
been added to the Phosphate, the
yield has been 20.4 bushels to the
acre, or an increase of 1.2 bushels
more than was secured from Phos-
phate alone. Even at present prices
for wheat and before-war prices for
Potash the increase in the wheat crop
was not sufficient to pay the cost Of
the Potash. The addition of Potash
to fertilizer containing phosphorous
and nitrogen will not be profitable
when applied to clay and loan soils.
Nine farmers out Of ten should fer
tiliZe wheat this fall. Fertilizer not
only increases the yield directly, but
the greater supply of available plant
food makes stronger plants that with
stand the attack of fungus diseases
and insects better than those unfer-
tilted. At present prices the farmer
may expect return of at least five
dollars for every dollar spent for
wheat fertilizer this fall
The Importance of ordering early
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
Those who order early will get what
will be compelled to take what Is left,
or do without.

GONDOLA CARS
GO TO COAST
FOR SUPPLIES
United States Demands for
Ship Construction Timber
Bars Gravel Hauling.
RUSHING GREAT
TRAINS TO COAST
Moorhead Man Says Box
. cars will be Used for Sand
Hauling.

No nat or gondola cars are available
for local shipments and this will cause
delay in many building and public
improvements. The nat cars have all
been sent west to be loaded with lum-
ber to be shipped to the Atlantic sea-
board for shipbuilding. Gondola cars
have been ordered to st. Paul and 1t is
understood they will be sent to In
diana to be used in hauling steam
coal to the Pacific coast. Officials Of
both the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railways say they do not
know when the fiat and gondola cars
will be returned to the local traffic,
but they have hopes that they will be
here in about eight weeks.
Using Boxcars.
In the meanwhile building opera
tions will be at a standstill for the
supply OF material will soon be ex-
hausted. The sand pits are already
loading sand and gravel in boxcars;
but only a limited number is avail
able. Sand and gravel are shipped In
gondolas, the cars being loaded d.
rectly from the pits.
In addition to the supply of build
ing material the fuel dealers are ind
ing it difflcult to obtain cars for ship
ment OF wood and the supply in the
yards of the two cities Is nearly ex-
hausted.
VIII Delay Handling.
Leslie welter, president of the Mus
koda Sand Co., says it will be impos-
sible to supply sand and gravel in
quantities as only few boxcars are
available, and the equipment at the
Muskoda and Downer pits is arranged
for loading open cars. In unloading
the material It will again have to be
handled two or three times instead
of once, as in the case of open cars.
A. M. Hopeman, president OF the
Hopeman Material Co., is of the opin-
ion that much building work and pub
lie improvements will be delayed on
account of the delay in getting ma
terial on the ground. He says con-
tractors are naturally unwilling to tie
Themselves up on work when they do
not know when they will get the ma.
terial or what the labor conditions
may be.
railroad officials do not know when
the cars will be returned TO local SER
vice on the lines. They hope to get
some hopper bottoms for use in haul
ing sand and gravel. Boxcars in
limited quantities are still available,
but no one can give any assurance Tor
the future.

The German chancellor once more isl
reported TO be about to make another
peace address in the reichstag.
The reactionaries enraged and
alarmed by the apparent dominance Of
thee socialist party in its program of
peace without annexation or indemni-
ties has presented an Interpolation
to the chancellor demanding that he
clarity his position. The junkers are
still clamoring for the annexation of
Belgium and all reports indicate that
the government must very shortly
take a definite stand both on the
question of war aims and internal re-
forms.
Disquieting reports come from Rus
sia of the attitude of elements among
soldiers and workmen toward the pro-
vistonal government. DEMONSTRATORS
are occurring in the streets of Petro-
grad against Foreign Minister Milu-
koff, minister of foreign affairs, his
resignation being demanded. M. Milu-
koR is considered one of the strongest
men in the new Russian regime. The
radical elements opposed to him ap-
pear to have been excited TO action
by the provisional governments COM
TO the allies made public
yesterday which committed the govs
ernment to continuation of the war
without slackening of effort. They de-
clare they should have been consulted
in this matter.

London, May 4.-The admiralty
reports that the missing boat from
the Rockingham with all the four.
teen men have been picked up by
British steamer.
Liverpool, May 4. ~ Capt. Charles
Edwards OF the American steamer
Rockingham was barefoot when he ar
rived here late Thursday night and
the thirty-two members Of his crew
were scantily clad. They were taken
care Of by the American consul. Cap
tain Edwards said he sighted two
submarines Thursday afternoon and
he attempted to steer zig gag course.
Despite his efforts torpedo struck
his steamer on the starboard side and
killed two men. One Of the vessels
four life boats was smashed, hut the
others got clear just before the steam
er sank. One submarine came close
to the life boat and asked the destiua-
ton, cargo and tonnage or the Rock
ingham Captain Edwards asked the
questioner to tow the life boats toward
land but the commander pretended not
to understand although he spoke Eng
lish. He finally refused to render as
sistance and told the refugees they
and submerged.
Five minutes before being ,torpedo-
ed, I noticed two specks on the
horizon, one on the port bow and the
other 0@ the starboard cow. said
Captain Edwafds. Il Immediately
called them to the attention OF the
gunners who were at their posts both
fore and aft and they tratned their
guns in the direction indicated. The
visibility was so bad it was impossible
for any of us to say whether they
were submarines or small patrol
boats.
.eWhile all eyes were straining
through their glasses to penetrate the
haze both the Speclxs disappeared.
Then we knew they were submarines
which were floating along practically
awash. We were steering q zig zag
course and the gunners were ready: to
fire at any. target. Suddenly there
came q terrific explosion the result Of
which made it impossible TO handle
the guns.
The torpedo hit us in the engine
room on the starboard side. She sank
quickly by the stern, going down In
less than twenty minutes. One OF our
life boats was shattered. The other
three were launched safely.
Naturally our great regret is that
we did not get an opportunity to use
the guns. We had a picked gun crew
who had proved their craftsmanship
repeatedly in practice on the way over,
so there is no doubt we could have
sent both the U-boats to Davy Jones'
locker il we had been able to identify
them through the haze.
The ships boats got separated after
leaving the scene OF the sinking. My
boat had been in the water six hours
when she was picked up.
