an address by Senator Fletcher, Flor

amendments recently offered to the
act, he said, ought to be sufficient
evidence that it is still under fire.

POINTERS FOR SUCCESS
FUL HOG PRODUCTION

Below are some points in hog pro-
duction, which are often neglected.
but if carefully attended to will add
greatly to your profits.
1. Castrate all boar pigs while
they are young. They suffer less from
the operation, fattan faster and make
more desirable market hogs.
2. Keep your hogs free from lice
by using crude oil A post wrapped
with burlap sack and saturated with
oil makes satisfactory hog oiler.
g. Keep a mineral mixture Of
charcoal or slack coal 1 bu., wood
ashes bu., air Stacked lime lbs,
salt lbs, copperas / IA lbs. (The
copperas is dissolved in quart Of
water and poured over the other in
gradients after they are mixed) be-
fore your hogs at all times. This mix
ture helps to keep down worms and
makes the hogs have a better appe-
|tite.
4. Provide your hogs with all Of
the clean drinking water they want.
Water is cheap.
S. Hogs mus have shade. See
that they have success to it.
6. Vaccinate against cholera
z. Make arrangements to breed
your sow to good purebred boar
for the fall litter. You lose probably
$3.50 on every pig when you bred
to a scrub boar
8. Plant peanuts, soybeans, cow
peas and velvet beans for late sum-
mer and fall grazing.
Q. Keep your hogs on forage the
year round. Feed balanced ration.
Provide plenty Of shade, water and
minerals. Look after lice, worms and
disease. The hog will do the rest.
Yours very truly,

VALUE OF COTTON
SEED AS Fertilizer
Seed for Fertilizers Not Eco
noinic, Says Authority.

Atlanta. Ga. - February. - 1t would
be mistake to use cotton seed as
fertilizer, as some farmers are talking
OF doing. according to ]. N. Harper,
several years in experiment station
work in the South, and now director Of
the Soil Improvement Committee. Con
tinuing he says:
"It would be a mistake for two rea
sons: First, the South would be dc
prived Of great wealth producing
substance-cottonseed oil; and sec
ond. cotton seed are not the best form
of fertilizer to apply.
"On the first point, while it is un.
fortunate that the vegetable oil marke;
is off and the oil miller cannot Offer
what the seed are really worth, It Is
better to accept what the miller car
afford to give than to allow the oil t
be destroyed when It is needed g.,
much especially in starving Europe.
ITO use cotton seed as a fertilize,
is to throw away the oil of the seed
for oil is not plant food: in fact, it is
believed that 1t will retard plant
growth.
Cotton seed contain plant food. bul
when the seed are applied, it Is not
possible to scatter it SO as to feed
the crop properly. 1t puts the plant
food on the land in Jumps as repre-
sented by the seed.
TT takes the seed long time tt
decay and become plant food. In fact
no great amount Of the plant food in
to ~.
the crop. AS evidence of this, we cite
Farmers Bulletin 2S6 of the United
States Department OF Agriculture, page
s, from which we quote: The seeds
are fncased in hulls which must de
cay before the crop can utilize the
plant food in them, and the kernels
contain oil which is supposed to retard
their decomposition, so that consider.
able moisture is required to decompose
the seed and make available the plant
food. In case Of very dry season
it does not become available fast
enough to supply the crop, and nc
doubt portion Of 1t fails to become
available urtil after the crop natures
"A table on page 9 Of this bulletin
shows that a difference Of 303 lbs
Of seed cotton per acre in favor OF
cotton seed meal as compared with
cotton seed, was obtained in a tes,
where twice as much cotton seed was
used as meal.
South Carolina Experiment Station
tests and tests Of four other southern
states show that Q pound of a well
balanced mixed fertilizer will produce
a pound and more Of seed cotton. A
test IN Alabama shows that It tool
8 pounds Of cotton seed TO produce g
pound OF seed cotton.
I'm other words, at present price:
Of cotton seed and complete fertiliz
ers, there is no doubt that it will
pay to sell the seed and buy the fer
tilizers.
I'm exchanging cotton seed for cot
ton seed meal, It will be we'll to re
member that If the plant food is te
be taken into consideration, that tor
Of meal contains three times NOR,
phosphoric acid than ton Of seed
two and one-half times more nitro
gen and one and onelialf times more
potash than the seed Contain"

LOCAL PRISONERS SAW JAIL'S BARS
 AND MAKE ESCAPE
Three Men in Federal Jail Effect Cetaway-Two
 Are Under Indictment.

Three prisoners at the United States Federal Jail escaped last night and up to late this afternoon were still at large. The prisoners who made their getaway are Frank Neel, Walter Brown and Harold Fenning
 The escape from the Federal jail was from the main tank, i'll the east section of the jail, into the cor ridor and then through barred window on the south side of the jail, in the basement.
 The men who escaped were last checked up in the jail when they had their supper yesterday evening with the remainder of the pris- oners. U. s. Marshal J. M. Tanner said this afternoon that he was confident that all three of the es- capped prisoners were still in this vicinity and would be picked up within a short time. Every pos sible avenue of escape is being closely watched
 The escape was not detected until shortly after midnight when Guard Kelly found the hole in the barred window. when making his rounds about the outside of the building. Kelly immediately notified United States Marshal J. M. Tanner who summoned the deputies at once. A roll call of the men in the main tank showed three missing. their names being given above.
 Escape from Main Tank.
 The escape from the main tank into the corridor was through a space about IS inches high and eight inches wide One of the bars near Browns bunk had been sawed off at the top and bent inside. One of the bars of the window had been sawed off at the top, nearly sawed through at the bottom and then was bent in and across the top of the lower sash of the bottom win dow. Another bar had been sawed off at the top and then bent back. From the appearance of the bars It is believed by United States Mar shal Tanner that part of the saving was done from the outside as the bar, bent back across the sash of the window, had an incision of nearly quarter of an inch from the outside.
 Sharp ratchet s2ws evidently were used, but how they were obtained is a mystery. Nf.t
 Outlets of Escape Guarded.
 Shortly after midnight, when the escape was discovered. Marshal Tan ner sent men to the lower end of Douglas Island, in gasboat, to keep lookout down that way Other men were sent up towards the bar and a close watch Is being kept on the steamer Admiral Wat son while she is on the Channel
 Marshal Tanner believes that Brown engineered the jail break and made his escape shortly after o'clock last night. Neel and Fen ming are believed to have made their escape about two hours later
