DON'T PULL FODDER

Clemson College, August IA
circular issued by the Extension Ser
vice several years ago on the bad
practice of fodder pulling contains
some very convincing facts and
proofs that should be considered a.
gain just at this time. Experiments
on the farm of Mr.. David R. Coker,
at Hartsville, were the source of the
facts and conclusions, some Of which
are here given.
The results of experiments for
four years on the Coker farm show
sonclusively that if fodder is pulled
when the bottom leaves begin to turn
there is a loss of at least "a per cent.
in yield of corn. If pulled when
three-fourths of the leaves are dry,
there is about 10 per cent. decrease
in yield. The 1913 experiments
showed decreased yield of 27.3 per
cent. when the fodder was pulled
early: and the 1912 experiments
showed a decreased yield of 13.1
per cent. when pulled late.
But the above represents only a
part of the total loss, since much OF
the loss comes through the effect on
the Weld of the next years crop.
Seed corn taken from fodder pulled
field is much lower in vitality than
seed corn taken from field properly
matured and developed; consequent
". when such seed are planted de-
crease in crop yield necessarily re-
suits. And not only will the yield
be lowered, but the quality OF the
corn also, for anything which tends to
lower the yield will in most cases
cause more inferior and waste in corn
An experiment to determine just
what loss there would be from plant
ing "fodder pulled" corn as compared
with matured seed showed that there
was a decrease of 7.2 per cent. in
Weld; and there was IL per cent.
of rotten corn, as opposed to 2.5 per
cent. in the other, which means a to-
tai loss of 1877 per cent. from the
use of fodder pulled" seed.
Add to this 1877 per cent. loss the
vrst effect of fodder pulling ga per
cent. decrease in the proceeding

loss of 4O.7 per cent. Is it surpris-
ing that the yield of corn in the South
is so small?
What is the answer? Stop pull
ing fodder. Plant more hay and stop
pulling fodder; but to those who feel
that they must pull fodder, let this
be said: Leave at least two or three
acres of your crop unpulled from
which to select your seed corn for
the following year, so that you may
keep up the quality of your seed and
not suffer the second of the two loss

BILL TO FINANCE COTTON

Columbia, August 4.-The South
Carolina Cotton is in receipt of the
following dispatch from Washington:
"The house of representatives has
Just passed bill which would amend
in two particulars the existing law so
far as to facilitate the carrying Of cot
ton and other non-perishable market

able staples to a more liberal extent

able staples to a more liberal extent
than has heretofore prevailed. The
measure stands an excellent chance
Of becoming law.
Representative w. F. Stevenson,
of Cheraw, who is member of the
banking and currency committee, in
toduced bills looking to this end in
consequence of request from the
South Carolina Cotton Association.
"The result was that the banking
and currency committee reported a
bill which provided for that drafts
and bills of exchange secured by
shipping documents conveying or Sc
curing title to goods shipped, and in
cluding demand obligations when Sc
cured by documents covering COM
modities in actual process of ship
ment, and also including bankers ac-
ceptances of the kinds described in
Section 13 of the Federal Reserve
Act shall not be considered as money
borrowed and subject to the provl-
sion that no one person could borrow
over ten per cent. Of the banks cap
ital and surplus.
"Under ruling by the comptroller
in 1917 it'was decided that if such
drafts were held by the banks for
more than reasonable time awaiting
the arrival of the cotton or other mer-
chandise they become prommissory
notes and subject to this 10 per cent.
provision. Under the present meth
cd of handling cotton, this ruling tied
up the shipper of cotton and hamper
ed the dealing in it very seriously.
"The bill which has passed the
House would make it absolutely sure
that as long as the goods are in ship
ment and the draft and bill of landing
are held together, the 10 per cent
limit does not apply. In addition to
that the bill amends the law so that
farmer or merchant may borraW
money on notes secured by shipping
documents, warehouse receipts, com
press receipts, etc., as much as "a
per cent. of the capital stock of the
bank, provided the warehouse re-
ceipts securing the note are worth III
per cent. above the amount of the
note.
I'm other words, with a warehouse
receipt for cotton for $4,000, ia
man can borrow $4,000 and he can do
enough of this to take up rs per cent.
of the banks capital and surplus, in
stead of ten per cent. as now allow
ed. Although the banking and cur
,rency committee has thirteen Repub-
Iicans and only eight Democrats, all
but one member of the committee vot-
ed for the favorable report when it
was proposed by Mr.. Stevenson, the
bill, by a majority of 24O or more
votes against no." -.

In Poor Condition. =
The general trade has no concep-
ton of the condition of the growing
crop. 1t is two of four weeks late
i. has q diseased root system; no tap
root: has less fruit than has ever
eben known in the past twenty-five
wears. Even with ideal seasons and
without insect damage and a late
frost only a moderate crop can be
made. With adverse seasons we are
facing a'crop calamity. On account
of the sappy condition of the crop
the lateness of same and the above
conditions it offers an inviting field
TO insect damage. Caterpillars would
bring a complete crop disaster. With
neither adverse seasons or insect
damage there would be more suffer-
ing on account of the need of raw
cotton than resulted in England dur
ing the Civil war. In reply to IN
uuiries concerning supply, cotton eX-
perts are now working on the cost OF
production, supply and demand. With
the information before us we find
that the cost of production will be at
least one-third more than last year.
Profit For Producer.
A minimum price will be set, based
upon supply and demand, that will
bring to the producer prft in line
with the profits being made by the
manufacturers who are buying cot
ton at the present prices and are
manufacturing it into cloth and yarn.
buying cotton under these conditions
will find that he has adopted an ex-
tremely poor business policy. he
will never live to see the day when
he will have tn opportunity of buy,
ing cotton as cheap as the price now
prevailing. The minimum price OF
the American Cotton Association viii
be far in excess of the present price
Beyond the question of a doubt the
cost of production has greatly IN
creased.
, Preliminary Report.
"The American Cotton Association
is now making a preliminary report
| of conditions, showing conditions OF
cotton since July 25 up to date. This
condition indicates still further de-
terioration. Under these conditions
it would be absolutely impossible with
even normal weather conditions and
without insect damage from now on,
to produce a crop in excess of 1O,-
100000 bales. The demand from the
world for raw cotton will he the
greatest ever known. 1t will exceed
supplies now on hand plus the yield
from the growing crop under normal
conditions by at least 100000 bales.
Where will this cotton come from?
The spinners found when it was too
late they could not spin an imaginary
surplus of long staple cotton. We
state most positively that long staple
cotton the world over has been abso-
lutely exhausted. The manufactur-
ers have an awful amount Of goods
sold, based upon being able to buy
long staple cotton. This places them
in a dilemma as the purchasers re-
fuse to cancel. They can blame no
one except themselves"
