All hope, If any ever existed, that
Germany might modify her campaign
OF ruthlessness, has vanished and
there is no doubt here that it will be
only matter of hours or days before
an American ship is sunk or American

The only effect SO far as the de-

NEW EGYPTIAN COTTON,
Rant Specialists Have Bred Earlier,
More Productive, and Better Fiber

II,
More Productive, and Better Fiber
ed Type.
After 15 years Of experimentation
In breeding and selection, plant
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture have sue
ceeded in developing a second new
variety Of the valuable Egyptian cot
ton grown in this country. The new
variety is considere., to be superior in
several respects to the variety now in
use. Sufficient seed of the type,
which is known as the Pima, has been
raised to plant relatively large area
and will be used during 1917 in the
Salt River Valley of Arizona, the GEN.
ter Of Egyptian cotton culture in this
country. 1t is hoped that from this
crop sufficient seed will be obtained
10 plant the entire cotton growing
area of the valley in 1918, if the sub
stitution Of the new variety for the
one now grown is then believed to be
desirable.
The variety Of Egyptian cotton now
DING grown in the Salt River Valley
Is the first new type developed in this
country and is known as the Yuma
variety. The Pima cotton produces a
longer, finer, and lighter-colored fiber
than the Yuma, and for this reason
Should command a better price pei
pound in the market. Even We're
there no difference in the value OF
the fiber, however, the Pima variety
should be more profitable to produce
since 1t is more productive and earl
Ter, has larger bolls, and is more east
~ picked owing to the greater free
dom Of the plants from vegetative
limbs. -.
The Pima variety originated in 1910
with plant selected out of a field of
Yuma cotton grown at the Coopera-
tive Testing and Demonstration Gar
den at Sacaton, Ariz, and has been
carefully tested since. 1t is much
more uniform and truer to type than
the Yuma. The Pima was given its
first tests in field scale in 1915
when 275 acres were planted. The
paintings in 1917 will be in a con-
tlnuous area so as to avoid cross
po}lination with Yuma cotton. Egypt
ian cotton is especially liable to
cross-pollination between types, an
occurrence which contaminates and
IS likely to ruin a good variety. The
planting Of the Pima cotton in q con-
tinpous area will also facilitate gin
ming. under conditions making pos
sibie the avoidance of the mixture OF
Pine and Yuma seed. a.

Homo Grown Feeds Necessary.

Clemson College. 8. c., Feb. 1G.-.
The past year has demonstrated
one thing to the satisfaction Of
every man in the State who Is en-
gagged in dairy farming. and that is
that he can not hope for success
unless he produces at home all OF
the roughage needed and most o.
the grain feeds. In every instance
where farmers have become dis
couraged with the business the un-
derlying cause has been the lack Of
sufficient homegrown feeds. TO
meet this requirement the following
feed requirement for one COW has
been worked out by the extension
division for the information of farm
ers during the coming year.
One ton legume hay.
Four tons mangels or silagc.
One ton sorghum.
1-2 acre velvet beans and corn.
1-2 acre rye for winter pasture.
One acre permanent Bermuda
pasture.
The above ration will furnish suf-
hcient feed for one cow for one
year. with the exception of zoo
pounds Of cottonseed meal or soy
bean meal which should be addo1
to the grain mixture. The 1-2 acre
OF velvet beans should furnish 1T
least two months OF winter grazing
besides 700 pounds of velvet beans
in the pod and 700 pounds of corn
and cob meal 10 be mixed with the
velvet bean meal and cottonsccd or
soy-bean meal for the grain miv-
ture.

WISACKY NEWS NOTES.
Two LOvable Women Gone From
COmmunity-Littlc Farm Work

Two LOvable Women Gone From
Community-Lttlc Farm Work
Done.
Wisacky, Feb. 19.-It is difficult for
We farmers to plan our work, owing
to the changeable weather. Notwith-
standing this fact, some of us have
made good progress in preparing for
another crop. The oat crop, if not
killed, is seriously injured, which is
great misfortune to us, as our corn
and forage crops were short, and all
foodstuff is so high in price. Some
have already planted oats over. 9TH
ers expect to replant, If they can get
the seed, which is scarce, and high
priced.
The approach of the boil weevil will
not affect the size of the cotton crop,
Or the amount of fertilizers used. It
seems like it is useless to preach to
the farmers OIL this line, as they close
their eyes to these facts. Even Bit
ter experience will not convince some
of us.
In my long experience I have new
er seen such total destruction, as was
made to all vegetation by the recent
cold spells. I hope the worst is over,
and 1t will be better further on.
Since my last letter, God .s taken
to himself two lovely characters, who
formerly belonged to this community,
Mrs. ]. c. Scott, after suffering four
years as an invalid, was called to
rest. She was a model Christian, and
possessed all of those traits of char
acter which endeared her to her
loved ones. and all who knew her.
She died on Mt. Pleasant Her body
was brought here and lafd besides her
loved ones; in Mt. Zion cemetery.
Mrs. Geo. Petre, sister of Mr.. r. M.
Cooper, was next taken. She,too was
most lovable woman, pure In heart,
modest in spirit, and gentle in dis
position, which fitted her to fill the
position of pastors wife. There
fore we can hope to meet them again.
We all share our sympathies with
those whose hearts do grieve. Mrs.
Petre lived In Charlottesville, Va,
where she died and was buried.
Old st. Luke's church has been
vacated. Ths preaching and Sunday
school services have been removed to
Elliotts. where they are planning to
buildEa new Methodist church They
are using the graded school building,
until the new church is completed.
