Business Ln1proUn7ent Continues
 To Prevail Throughout the South
Building Activity Birmingham Increasing and SteeCoa Industry
 Steady Progress in Sheffield District

Continued improvement in business is the rule. Industrial activity fin the Bir- mingham district and throughout Ala bama is in evidence.
 The only industry that is tagging is that of coal mining. It is halting now because of the menace in the legisla- ture. The proposed tax on coal mined will be a serious blow to one of the great industries. With the tax aban- doned the coal industry would revive and the situation would assume normal con ditions once more.
 The iron market is brisk compared with two weeks ago. There is strong de- mand for iron and steel products.
 The building trades in every southern town and city are manifesting great activity. Scores of homes hereabouts are in course of construction. Every week shows an increase in home building. And what is true of Birmingham is true ot every section of the south The real estate market is more active than at any time in the past 10 years. Indus try and mercantile business are indeed humming.
 The agricultural situation has been se- riously effected by the excessive rains. The cotton crop will be short, and the shorter the higher the price, of course. The harvest, generally speaking, will far below the production of 19lS but value of the crops will be greater and prosper ity in the rural districts will hardly be checked.
 The Sheffield district is flourishing. The Age-Herald S correspondent, H. Fon- taine Little, says:
 ''At 10 o'clock Saturday night the Southern Bell Telephone company formal ly opened to the Sheffield people the new telephone exchange building, which the has erected here. City offi- cials, representatives Of the company and many local citizens were present for the occasion, and when Judge Allen ].

The industrial growth and activities Of Bristol are of interest as typifying the progress under way in communities ali over the south, says a correspondent Of The Manufacturers Record. steady advance is being made. new industries in and those established growing in capacity, under conservative scientific effort. by the directing and sustaining forces of local commercial bodies.
 As never before. in every section or the south the effort is getting away from the general and concentrating on the concrete Instead of "shelling the woods with wild enthusiasm and boundless hope, the gunners of today are sharpshooters, with range-hnders. and very definite object in mind. The advantage, even the necessity. for the industrial survey is becoming more widely understood and acted upon everywhere. The present-day seeker after new industries does not draw on imagination nor expect the fui- fflment of mere dreams. 1t Is becoming more and more 8 case of careful eX- animation of conditions-what the freight rates are, for raw materials and the
  is possessed; what is the labor supply now and to meet increasing demands. and new industries are today locating where a satisfactory showing is possiblbe as affecting the cost sheet and the market for the products
 This Is the outstanding fact in the field of endeavor for industrial expansion, a fact becoming more and more recogniz- ed as well by scommercial bodies as by those at the head of industrial affairs. The result should be the elimination of the all-too numerous failures which have blighted new industries and new towns. too, where in the past they have come into being through haphazard effort and unsubstantiaI hope.

THE SUGAR SITUATION
Government Report Forecasts Re-
cord Production for Year

While retail dealers throughout
the country are advising consumers
they have difficulty Of obtaining
normal stocks of sugar, the govern
ment has forecasts a domestic crop
far above the average for the last
six years. The department of agri-
culture in an estimate based on July
l, crop conditions predicts a crop of
2,216,OOO,00O pounds, or 147,O0O,O0O
pounds more than the average of the
preceding six years.
The beet sugar forecast this year
is higher than the record crop of
1856 by nearly $4,000 tons, but
the cane sugar crop is almost 100000
tons below the average of the six
years. The sugar beet crop this year
is record one.
In recent years the cane sugar
crop usually has been one-fourth of
the total and beet sugar produced in
Continental United States, but this
year it will be only about one-sev-
enth. Smaller acreage and wet, cool
spring are the causes of the smaller
crop.
Michigan, Colorado and Utah show
big increases in beet sugar prospects.
Forecasts show Michigan's crop as
1,158,000 tons, an increase of 257,-
900 tons; Colorado's 2,024,000 tons,
increase of $4,000 and Utah's 1,20S,-
900 tons, increase 205,000 tons.

THE APPERsoNs ARE COMING
Trouble Traced to Trona Potash.

Clemson College authorities have
investigated the potash situation
which has given trouble in the Pee
Dee section, and have traced the
matter to its source in the use OF
Trona Potash, which contains I'M
purities injurious to crops.
Mr.. Bright Williamson, a proml-
nent banker and farmer Of Darling
ton, and John N. Napier, County
Agent of Darlington County found
trouble with potash in that county
recently and reported the matter to
Clemson College. Prof. c. P. Black

Seal, Plant PathologiSt, went imme-
diately to Darlington and Florence
Counties where they met DR.. W. ".
Garner, Chief Of the Office of tobac-
CO and Plant Nutrition Investigations.

BOARD OF CHARITIES AND COR
RECTIONS GIVES STA
TISTICS

That homicide, assaults, larceny
and other felonies are increasing IN
South Carolina is established by the
Board of Charities and Corrections
in its analysis of reports from Jalls
and chain gangs of South Carolina
for the quarter ending June 80. Ac-
cording to the boards information,
based on accurate reports from 70
per cent of the jails, there were dur
ing the last three months eighty-one
arrests for homicide, and, according
to the law of percentage, there must
have been lOs homicides in South
Carolina. This might be compared
with twenty-five homiciles reported
in December and eighty-one IN Marcn
Violation of the prohibition law also
showed rapid increase. According 10
the December reports there were
twenty-five commitments on TINS ac-
count: in March forty-six; IN June
145. The number of assaults reported
for the June quarter shows lIo'
wb;,e eighty-six were reported 1or
the March quarter. The June quarter
shows 24O commitments for larceny
which might be compared with the
March quarter, which had 2lo. june
reports show 2,O24 commitments
the March reports show 1902 COM
no;tments, mi From these figures 1t IS
evident that crime is on the increase

State Board of Charities and cor-
-ect;ons said that there were tour
main causes for this state OF a11airS ,
first, that there is psychoioslcai

uted to potash. In Darlington coun-
ty, however, where Trona Potash
from Scarf Lake, California, pur-
chased through a Charleston broker
was used, very serious injuries were
observed on a number of farms.
The Clemson and Government ex-
perts were convinced from field ex-
aminations that this Trona Potash
is responsible for the trouble. Thous-
ands of acres of crops in Darlington
have been destroyed.
Other sources of American potash
have given good results so far as In
vestigations show. Since nearly all
the soils of the Coastal Plains Sec
tions of the State are in need of pot
ash, it would be unfortunate to have
all potash indiscriminately condemn
ed along with this one SOURCE.
Director Barre announces that ex-
periments will be begun at once at
the Pee Dee Station to obtain all
possible information on the effect OF
this material on plant growth. Fur
ther study will be made in Darling
ton fields to assist farmers in secur-
ing data upon which to base claims
for damages These Investigations
will be reported as soon as the data
is available. The legal aspects of the
case will be considered by the Board
of Fertilizer Control.
There has probably been injury to
crops from this same source in other
sections of the state, and if farmers
think they have this trouble they
should consult their county agent,
all of whom have been posted about
the matter.
Late in June Director H. w. Barre
of the South Carolina Experiment
Station attended a potato conference
ON Long Island to examine tests
of all sources of domestic potash.
Trona potash showed marked injury
to potato plants, and the conference
developed the fact that similar trou-
BILE was being experienced in North
Carolina with cotton, tobacco and
corn. Similar trouble seems to have
been experienced in several locali-
ties along the Atlantic coast.
For the guidance of farmers Prof.
Blackwell gives the field symptoms
as follows: In the case of cotton and
corn termination is retarded or pre-
vented. Soon after plants which do
germinate are above ground, they
turn white or yellow and die. Tobac-
co when transplanted turns light and
soon dies. The roots are found to be
undeveloped and many dead. The
trouble is worse where tobacco beds
have been knocked down, as this
brings the roots in closer contact
with the poisonous substances. With
all crops the trouble is worse on light
sandy soils than on heavier soils.
