A Fine Pasture Legu,ne

Clemson College, Oct. 26.-An ex-
cellent proof of what South Carolina
possesses as pasture legume is
shown in a report from Allendale
county by. County Agent Il. D. Robert
son. who says that last spring Mr.. w
c. Bryan. of Barton. put in under his
directions 10 acres of Lespedeza on
Bermuda sod The LespedeZa was
sown with hand seeder broadcast On
the Bermuda sod April 1st They had
intended putting in the Lespedeza in
February, but the seed was delayed.
and it could not be done until April.
This was very late for the LeSpe-
deza and there was no rain until
May II. Notwithstanding these facts
the clover is now in perfect condi-
ton.
Since August s. reports Mr.
Robertson. lit has been very dry
and hot in that section, but you
would thin. if you were to see this
pasture that you were in blue
grass region. There are now y
cows. some calves i goats, and
about 20 pigs on this io-acre pas
ture at all times and they are all
fat The pasture will carry the
stock now on it until November

This is a fine example" says Mr.
Robertson. ''of what we have in a
legume that requires only seeding
and this is the best demonstration

ORDERS ON
FERTILIZERS
Senator From South Carolina
Makes Public Letter From De-
partment of Agriculture

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator Dia
of South Carolina made public today
the text of orders issued by the bu.
reau of soils, department of agricul-
ture,. which are designed to prevent
crop damage through the sale and the
application of artificial fertilizers con-
tanning undue proportions of boraX.
While these orders are primarily OF
interest to South Carolina, they in
part cover the entire South in their
scope. Photographs illustrating dam
age alleged to have been wrought by
American or ''Trona" potash in the
Pee Dee section Of South Carolina
were exhibited to the ways and means
committee OF the house of represen-
tatives recently, in the course Of hear
ings on the proposal to establish an
import duty which would protect the
infant American potash industry.
-; DR.. CT C. Fletcher Of the bureau OF
soils was sent to South Carolina last
furtherance of an investigation then
being made by the bureau, and the
orders now issued are the outcome OF
the findings. Secretary Houston deem
ed lit advisable to comply with re-
icent request from Senator Dial for a
copy of DR.. Fletcher's report, but to-
day the senator received from the
chief of the bureau OF soils, DR.. Mil
ton Whitney, a letter enclosing or
ders which had just been issued DR..
Whitney advised the senator that the
department had considered the sub
ject of High Borax containing pot
ash salts, such as are derived from
the Searles Lake depositi and under
authority Of the control act Of August
5e, 1917, has issued an order to the
Searles Lake producers and to all
brokers, fertilizer manufa cturers and
mixers to insure the safe use Of this
material for fertilizer purposes The
order to the producers is dated Oc-
tober "a and is in part as follows;
1.-The department has investigated
the DANCE to crops attributed to the
use. Of fertilizer containing high boraS
potash and has traced in important
instances this potash - the produce
of .Searles Lake. In order to per-
NIT the safe use Of this product in
future, the department, under author
ity of the control act of August 10.
1917, has decided to place such re-
strictions on the use of potash salts
con taining borax as will guarantee
the use of an application Of not more
than two pounds of anhydroux bor-
ak per acre. In order to effect this,
you are instructed not to sell direct t.
farmers as straight goods, or to any
broker or other person for use by
farmers as straight goods, potash salts
containing more than 5-10ths Of
per cent of anhydrous borax-"
An order has been issued to bfok--
ers, fertilizer manufacturers and
mixers which permits them to con-
tinue using in mixed goods potash
salts containing borax, but they must
mt allow more than two pounds per
ton OF boraX.
The United States department Of
agriculture has, therefore sustained in
the planters, that the crop damage
of which they complained was due to
impurities in the American potash
salts supplied them.

Committee Admits Men are
Going Back to Work

statement to the effect that the stee
workers had lost the strike, made tt
military leaders in Gary, by L. E

Strikes may be won even though

laying the ground work for future
battles"
The steel worker may be starved
into getting back to work but he has
learned this: He knows now that the
steel corporation is not bigger than
the will of the men working for it.
He knows now that he can close down
the entire works. Knowing this he
will never again submit sfeeplike to
the conditions under which he has
labored for years. For 20 Or more
years the steel worker has been OF
the opinion that the United States
Steel corporation was the biggest thing
on earth. He believed that its power
was even greater than that Of the
United States government. He dc
mot know that the worker is the great
est power Now he knows that he
can tie it up even more effectively
than he has done on this oc<asion.''

tional steel strike committee went
over the situation in Il session behind
closed doors which lasted several
hours No announcement vas .ns.de

RAILROAD MEMS
WAGE DEMAND
Representatives of Trainmen
Meet Director General
Hines Today

Washington, Oct 28.-President W.
G. Lee, and the general committee of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
will confer tomorrow with Director
General Hinea on the unions wage
demands which are about to be de-
cided. Mr.. Hines has had the recon-
mendation of the board of railway
wages before him for two weeks,
but whether he has been able to reach
a decision in the rush of work Incl
dent to the threaten coal strike has
rot been revealed. 1t was agreed
when the demands were presented
last July that the officials of the
railroad administration and the union
would confer before the award was
made public. which accounts for to-
norrow's meeting.
1t is considered certain that the
unions request for a general wage
increase will be refused. Mr.. Hines
will act On the demands independent
H. of President Wilson, it was learned
authoritatively today, but the presi-
dents general policy laid down at
the time the shopmen were denied
a general increase but given an ad-
justment of inequalities compared
with other union members, will gov
ern his decision.
Mr.. Lee and. his committee conferf-
ed today, but said there was nothing
to be made public concerning their
discussion. Asked if refusal of a
wage increase meant strike, MI,
Lee pointed out that the union had
expressed Willingness to let the gov
ernment do what could be-done to re-
duce prices as means OF relieving
the economic pressure on the men.
He added that he, saw very little re-
lief as yet from the source. As to a
strike. he said whatever action was
taken would be IN harmony with the
other three brotherhoods after con-
su1tation with them.
The most important question pre-
sented by the unions demands is
that of time and half for overtime,
which has been sought for several
years as punitive measure to
curtaff the long hours of work. IT
granted it would be the most import
ant victory gained by railroad en-
ployees since the eight hour law be-
came effective.

DANDRUFF GOES!
HAIR GETS THICK,
WAvY, BEAUTIFUL
Save your hair! Double its
beauty in a few moments.
Try this!
Hair stops coming out and
every particle of dandruff
disappears.

Try as you will, after an applica-
ton of Danderine, you can not find
single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch,
but what will please you most, will
be after a few weeks use, when you
see new hair, fine and downy at
-irst-yes-but reilly new hair
growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle
and scraggy, just moisten a cloth
with Danderine and carefully draw
it through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. The effect
is immediate and amazing-your
hair will be light, fluffy and wavy,
and have an appearance of abun-
dance, an incompatible lustre, soft
ness and luxuriance, the beauty and
simmer of true hair health.
Get a small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents and
prove that your hair is as pretty
and soft as any-that it has been
neglected or injured by careless
treatment-that's all.
Danderine is to the hair what
fresh showers of rain and sunshine
are to vegetation. 1t goes right to
the roots, invigorates and strength
ems them. It's celebrating, stimu-
lating and life-producing properties
cause the hair to grow long, strong
and beautiful.-Adv, :
