"sow Cover Crops on Every
Farm"

Clemson College, Sept. 6.-The
Office of Extension Work South IL
;vging Southern farmers 10 return
to the pre-. war practice of planting
cover crops each fall and to further
extend the great soil-building work
Below are given some valuable sug,
gestions on the matter by Mr.. j. A
Evans, Chief of the Office of Ex-
tension Work South.
Before the great war progress
had been made toward getting some
kind Of cover crops sown each fall
on Southern farms. County Agents
and other extension workers stress
ed their Importance, and each yesr
thousands of demonstrations gave
ocular proof of their value. Fol
lowing the outbreak of the war,
however, there was great decrease
in the acreage sown to such crops.
This was due to labor shortage,
high priced seed, unsettled condi-
tions, and particularly to the stress
of food production.
We should now endeavor to re-
gain the slost ground and again
stress suitable cover crops as part
of the farm system for the South.
Let us try to make the early slo
gan of the Farmers Cooperative
Demonstration Work, "Cover Crops
on Farm" a reality in every county
in the South this year.
Winter cover crops have spe-
cial value on Southern farms. They
protect the land from washing, pre-
vent loss of plant food by leaching,
furnish grazing for livestock during
the winter months, and in the spring
may be plowed under to the great
benefit of the soil, or left for har-
vest for hay, grain or seeds.
Crops to Consider The small
grain and the clovers are The most
satisfactory crops for this purpose.
They are all adaped to Southern
conditions and soils In most of
Southern states oats is the most i'm
portant small grain. Not over rs
per cent of the amount needed for
home consumption is now grown.
The acreage in fall oats should be
greatly increased. They can be
produced cheaply, mature early,
and can be followed in most of the
States by corn and cowpeas, cow
peas for hay, sweet potatoes, or
other fall crops. Rye is better
than fall sown oats in the northern
tier of states of the southern group.
Oats, Rye, Wheat, Bur Glover,
Crimson Glover, and tie Vetches,
sown with oats, are all valuable as
cover crops. The choice will de-
pend on soil and location, and the
County Agent or the Extension Ser
vice of Clemson College will give
further information.

Fertilizer Prices Increasing.

Higher fertilizer prices for next
years crop seem inevitable accord
ing to the fertilizer manufacturers,
who state that they are struggling
to make up their price lists for this
fall so as to satisfy the Government
under whose control they still
work, and at the same time leave
themselves a margin of profit against
the rising cost of raw materials.
One manufacturer estimates fer
tilizer prices for this fall at an ad-
vance of 10 to 90 per cent over
those of last spring. The greatest
increase, in his opinion, will be on
acid phosphate. The car situation
has cut the supply of phosphate
rock so low that the acid phosphate

terial to keep their plants in opera.

ihas advanced steadily for the past
SIX months and is now costing Ss5
ton at the port. Animal and
vegetable ammoniates are extreme
sly high, costing not less than ss a
INIT of amonia at Chicago.
Other factors that enter into the
fertilizer situation are strike at the
mines, high priced labor, increased
prices of bags, now selling from
thirty to forty cents each, and 80
per cent increase freight rates.
The fertilizer .uen are not will
ing to hazard.a guess as to what
prices will be :next spring, as the
raw.materials now being purchased
are for the fall output. If gen.
ersl decline in prices of verything

rails are bought, prices to the far

but there is no prospect at present
.of the general stabilization that
will bring this about.
I'he ADVICE OF CneSe Inen, anu III
is probably the best we have to go
on, is for the farmers who expect to
use fertilizer next year to figure out,
what they will need and when their
cotton is hauled to town let the fer
tilizer be carried back nome and
stored.
Normally this is good advice, for
we are prone to wait until the plant
ing season is on to buy fertilizer,
throwing on the manufacturers the
burden of delivering the output of
twelve months in six weeks time.
As a result some delays are una
yoidable and often the fertilizer ar.

A Grateful Letter.

1t is in trying conditions like that
related below by Mrs. Geo. L. North

suddenly and was about the sickest

pain all the time and passed from one
convulsion into another. 1 sent my
husband for the doctor and, after he

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Hybaburg-an English speak ing town in 1920 was a slo- gan coined by CIV. Hawkes. worth, Government Teacher in 1912. while the slogan has not been fully realized, the fact is, that the Town coun- cil was elected on a platform which pledged English as the spoken language in all of it's deliberations. Gradually, the influence of the US. public School is bringing the transi- tion from the Hyda varnacu- lar to English.
 Today the English language is spoken by 200 million peo- pie. The number of words in the Standard Dictionary is a little over 100000. The total number of words used in. the Bible does not quit reach 1000. Shakespeare used 25,

Compare the num- Der of words used in the Bible with a modern Webster, s and you can see at once that lan- guage grows. what makes it grow? The answer is simple. The grade changes in trades and industries, invention, and the variety of ofhuman activies in an endeavor to harness the forces of nature and the improvement of society. E. lectricty has given us about a 1000 new words. he auto mobile has produced some 400. hus invention neces- sitates new terminology and, if the inventor does not have a word to make clear his meaning, he manufactures one. The conclusion to be drawn here is, unless we con- stantly strive to acquire skill in these new vehicles of thot these tools of thOt, which we call word, we cannot under stand our neighbors. Failing to understand one another, we quarrel. How shall we, then, improve our own stock oflauguage-tooIs?
