STRIKING RANGE IS DISCLOSED
IN RETAIL FERTILIZER PRICES

The striking disclosure is made in
figures gathered by the United
States Department of Agriculture
that retail prices Of fertilizer mater
ials paid by farmers at the present
time very considerably as between
States and regions and widely as be-
tween counties in the same States. In
some instances the variation is more
than 100 per cent. For instance,
farmer in one county in Tennessee
is paying $s1 a ton and in another
county $3.50 a ton for nitrate of So
da, and in Georgia a farmer is pay
ing $17.50 in one county and $49.70
in another for acid phosphate.
The department has made inquiry
through the county agricultural a.
gents, who work under the direction
of the department and the State
agricultural colleges, of the retail
price asked by dealers for the princi-
pal fertilizer constituents as Of May
/, 1919, in the States where fertili-
zers are used TO- considerable ex-
tent. The data has not yet all been
received and the inquiry is being
pushed, but the results so far OBJ
tanned show such wide discrepancies
in the price for fertilizer material
within the States, and, in many in
stances, such an unreasonable spread
between the wholesale and retail
prices that the department feels JUS
titled in making a preliminary report
for the information Of the farmers.
The wholesale quotation on nj
trate of soda in New York City was
$3.50 per ton from December 9,
1918, to February "a, 1919. On
March it was sS4 per ton and on
March 10 it was quoted at $3.50
per ton, which price has prevailed up
to and including April 28.

CENTENARY CAMPAIGN
CLOSES HERE WITH ,
QUOTA ovER.SUBSCRIBED

The Centenary campaign has clos

church here reports that $1s,542
have been subscribed to the fund.
This is more than $4,000 above the
quota.
The Cokesbury District has sub
scribed $195,OOO and it is expected
that this will reach 100000, which
far exceeds the quota. Reports from
all the churches in the district show
that in practically every instance the
quota assigned was oversubscribed.

SENATE REPUBLICAN
BY NARROW MARGIN

Washington, May 23.-Suppose
that by death, resignation or dis
qualification there should be during
the present session of Congress a
shift in party control in the Senate,
now held for the Republicans by the
very slender margin of two votes?
Would the Senate reorganize at
once on such, a change, or would it
wait until the next session? In other
words, does organization of the Sem
ate at the beginning of session fix
the organization for the remainder
of that session, or is it lasting only
so long as the actual party majority
is at hand to support it?
The answer is that a change in
party control, if only by one vote,
would be followed promptly by re-
organization, even if the change
were to occur only week after the
first organization had taken place.
~., What Death Might Do.
There are now forty-nine Republi-
cans and forty-seven Democrats in
the Senate. If one Republican Sena-
tor from State which has Demo
cratic Governor should be claimed by
death, the Governor would appoint
a Democrat to fill the vacancy pend
ing an election. This would reduce
the Republican roll-call to forty
eight and would increase the Demo
cratic roll-call to forty-eight, bring
ing about a tie, which the Democra-
tic vote of Vice President Marshall
would break in favor of the admins
tration. z g.. .%%::a.
Not only is it true that there are
several States which have TDemocra-
tic Governors and Republican Sena-
tors, but it is to be remembered that
for the past five years the mortality
rate has been heavily against the
Democrats in the Senate as compared
with the Republicans. This was an
important underlying cause, of the
loss of the Senate by the Democrats
in the election of last, November. As
a rule, veteran Senator is harder
to defeat than new candidate for
senatorial honors. All politicians ap-
preciate. this fact.
When the mortality pendulum
starts to swing back to the Republi-
can side, as, of course, it eventually
will, the situation in the Senate
will be a nerve-racking one for Re-
.publicans if the margin Of control Is
only one or two votes.

FEEDING COTTON SEED TO
HORSES AND HOGS

A reader has cotton seed which
he says he cannot sell. He asks if he
"can use them to- advantage by
grinding them with corn and feeding
to horses and hogs. What proportion
of corn and cotton seed and amount
to: feed to 1,1000-pound horses OF
mule? Tried some and horse ate il
all right"
Cotton seed have quite a high
feeding value, and in small quantity
will be fully equal, pound for pound,
to corn. If too large a proportion OF
cotton seed is fed it is apt to cause
too loose a condition of the bowels
or securing. Some horses and mules
are also likely to refuse to eat crush.
ed cotton seed at first, but small
allowance will be eaten by most
animals when crushed with corn. ,
But corn and cotton seed will not
make a well balanced ration for
horses and mules unless fed with le-
gume hay. While COTTON seed contain
more protein and are better balanc-
ed than corn, except for the excess
of oil, they do not contain enough
protein to balance the large per cent
Of carbohydrates in corn.
If three parts Of corn to one part
of cotton seed, by weight, be mixed
and ground, and from 1 ponud to 1
IA pounds be given daily for every
100 pounds Of the horses or mules
weight, the mixture will prove a sat
isfactory ration along with any le;
gume hay. If grass hay is used, then
about one part Of cottonseed meal
should be added to IL parts of the
above mixture, by weight:
! In other words, our inquirer can
! substitute three or four pounds of
cotton seed per day for an equal
weight Of corn. If corn is worth
f$1.6Sa bushel, or 3 cents pound,
this will give value Of $50 ton
! for the cotton seed he can use in this
way. - 80 H''.'.. s., \
+ For feeding hogs he may be able
to feed corn and cotton seed in equal
parts, by weight, if the hogs. are on
legume pasture or have tankage OF
some other protein feed to balance
the ration. But this is rather q large
proportion Of cotton seed, and prob
ably two parts Of coin to, one Of cot
ton seed would be better. Moreover,
there will be some danger in feed
Ing, the cotton seed TO hogs for s
period Of more than four or FIVE
weeks. But if after feeding the cot
ton seed for three or four weeks,
they can at the end Of this period Of
rest be safely returned to the cotton
seed mixture for another period Of
four or five weeks and this alternat-
ing Of the rations continued as long
as desired. More cotton seed can be
safely fed to hogs and for a greater
length of time if the Gotten seed are
cooked than when fed raw; but it is
doubtful il, this gain will pay for the
trouble and cost Of cooking.-Pro-
! gressive Farmer. :; = .

j. Roy Pennell, State highway en-
gineer, was advised from Washing.
ton yesterday afternoon that the first
allotment of trucks to be used in
building federal aided permanent
highways in South Carolina were

to have the trucks shipped at once.
The trucks should be delivered i'm
mediately. The highway department
has received assurance, that 296
trucks to help in highway construc-
ton in this State are to be made
available as soon as possible. Nine
counties do not receive any Of the
present shipment Of trucks, as some
of these counties have made no pro-
vision to meet federal aid. Several
others are not yet ready for the
trucks. The counties not included in
the first allotment are: Abbeville,
Anderson, Barnwell, Berkeley, Clar-
endon, Darlington, Dorchester, Jas

Harry G. Hawker and his navigator,

British airman, who essayed flight
across the Atlantic Ocean without
protection against disaster save what
their frail airplane afforded, are safe
tonight aboard British warship off
the Orkneys. Tomorrow t!ey will
reach the mainland and proceed to

Some 100 miles out from New
foundland and. 800 from the Irish
coast on Monday, May N1s, the avia-
tors making the best Of an engine
which was failing to function proper
ly, were forced to alight on the wa
ter. The little Danish steamer Mary,
bound from New Orleans and Nor
folk for Aarhuusu, Denmark, picked
the wayfarers up and continued on
her northward voyage.
Lacking a wireless outfit, the cep-
tain Of the steamer was obliged to
withhold the good things Of the res
cue until he was opposite Butut Of
Lewis, where the information was
signalled by means Of flags that
Hawker and Grieve were aboard his
ship. =
Quickly word was flashed to the
british admiralty, which sent. out de-
stroyers to overtake the Danish YES
sci and obtain confirmation. This was
done and one Of the destroyers took
the airmen of and later transferred
them to the flagship Revenge.
From this safe haven Hawker sent
a message tonight that his machins
had stopped owing to the blocking
Of the water circulation system.
When the airplane sped away fro.
her starting point, ,Hawker let looss

This however, probably proved Of
much advantage when it became

cue. ,,. H..
