thick growth Of uniform height
about fourteen to eighteen inches
before beginning to bloom.
$. W. Foster, superintendent OF
farms at Newry, had the largest
growth of alfalfa. it being abor; two

in the field. which dctract Il little
from the looks OF the ii, Id, but still
give good feeding value. Mr.. Foster
will be there when hay time comes
around, and has an interesting cx-
pcrlcncc to relate. The field now
growing the alfalfa, according to Mr..
Foster. was considered so poor a red
rundown hillside that Mr.. Courtc-
nay the former owner. told Mr.. Eos
ter that he was wasting money to
try to plant anything on it. Mr.. Eos

the result: \ rich soil producing

WE CAN'T AFFORD NOT
TO USE Fertilizer
THIS YEAR
Progressive Farmer)

With fertilizer at its present high
prices, can we afford to use It this
year?
This Is the uppermost fertilizer ques.
tion in the minds Of the farmers In
the fertilizer-using sections Of the
South. The Progressive Farmer has
gone thoroughly into this question from
every angle, and the deeper we go the
more convinced we are that our farm
ers can't afford not to use fertilizer
to make their 1921 crops. The per acre
cost will be increased, but the per
bushel Or per pound cost will be re-
duced, and it Is the bushels and pounds
that we must sell at a profit.
This Is not time to plunge on fertilizer
in order to got phenomenal yields, or
to experiment with new mixtures. Use
safe amounts OF the kinds Of fertilizer
that have given paying results on your
types Of soil Not only should the
farmers who have heretofore used fer.
tilizer continue the conservative use
OF It, but there arc farmers In every
community who have depended solely
on their own efforts and the original
plant foods in poor soil TO make their
crops, who should now supplement
these things with added plant food, at
least on few acres, nd get away
from unprofitably low yields. We can
not afford to farm at loss again this
year, and yields Of 15 to 20 bushels
Of corn or fourth to a third OF q
bale Of cotton an acre will not pay
for the labor, seed and use Of the land
and leave profit. 1t Is essential,
then, that our yields be raised well
above tho average, and the only prac-
ticablc means Of doing this for this
years Is with fertilizer wisely used.

OcOncc Farmers TIP and DOinH--tCl-
vet Beans Have Proven Worth.
Farmers here and there over the
county have tried velvet beans and
found them valuable. J. NJ. V. Clark,
Of High Falls, planted velvet beans
with his corn and states that he
could see big increase in the crop
following them where the vines were
turned under. lie picked enough
beans to feed his COW we'll, and got
rich milk in return. Said the COW
gave four gallons Of milk per day on
nothing but velvet beans. lie is
planting Il good acreage in them
this year.
W. S. Cowan. K. NJ. Cowan and J.
J. y. Cowan, OF Flat Shoals, arc firm
believers in the great value Of velvet
beans. W. $. cowan has grown a
great many and gathered stacks Of
beans last year, which he is using
for feed and for seed this year. Keep
your eye on the ''vrlvcl bean trio"
OF Flat Shoals. for their soil will be
come richer aud their cattle will be
we'll fed and productive because of
plenty Of velvet beans.

Fertilizer Situation
Progressive Farmer.)

It Is an accepted fact that when
the prices Of crops are low, higher
yields per acre must be striven for.
Fertilizers have boen the chief de-
pcndence Of the Southern farmer for
pushing up yields in the past. This
year he would, Of coure, like to have
fertilizers so cheap that he could use
them to the limit. But 1t seems that
fertilizers will not be sold as cheaply
as DIZZY have been in the past.
On the part Of the fertilizer manu-
facturer there Is a claim that they
cannot possibly get back to pre-war
prices this year. One reason given
az to why this cannot be done is, that
the industry is carrying a very heavy
load Of farmers accounts that came
over from 1920. In order to carry
these notes the manufa cturers have
been forced to borrow heavily. Yet,
in spite Of this, losses have already
occurred on 1920 accounts. In addition
there was considerable material
bought at peak prices last summer
for use in manufacturing mixed ferti-
lizers this year. On this they stand
to lose.
Tho fertilizer industry is under.
writing the farmers of the South to
the extent Of about $3.50, 100000. Had
tho fertilizer manufactur ers closed IN
and collected all the formers notes
when they fell due It Is probable that
there would have been widespread
financial disaster.
Instead of ruthless policy, toler-
ance has been accorded the farmer
This policy has burdened the manu-
facturor so heavily that 1t is claimed
that fnr!i!izcr prices cannot bo re-
duceo any further during this sea.

A SIX WEEKS SUMMER SCHOOL
For Negro Teachers - Session VIII
30 Held ut Orangcburg.

! Orangeburg, April 27.-There will
! be Il six weeks summer session at
the State Negro College here this
summer. The session is to open on
June Ia and close July 30, and will
: be Il regular summer school for the
negro teachers in South Carolina
The summer session this year will
be two weeks longer than usual.
and, according to President Wilkin-
sons statement, will be divided into
three groups on the three-year plan
{ Teachers attending the summer ses-
sion at the State college here this
summer and all succeeding years
will be given certificates after com
! plcting the three-year course. Those
! who attend and finish two years Of
the course will have their certificates
renewed by the State Board Of Ex
aminers, provided that they have at
tended each year more than twenty
days.
The negro summer school has the
full endorsement of the Department
OF Education, and its work will be
, supervised in Il measure and ap-
proved by these officials. The course
for teachers covers the subjects
! taught in the elementary and high
schools, and the instructors employ
ed are said to be from among the
best prepared negro teachers in the
State
DR.. =. S. Wilkinson. president Of
the college, has issued Il bulletin with
full outlines about the summer
session. lie is now making week end
, trips to different points. delivering
addresses TO negro audiences and
congregations. and before them he is
putting the summer school and its
call and what it will mean to all the
teachers in the negro schools.
The session at the State College
provides for all kinds Of tea achers and
offers special courses to principals
and teachers working under the
Smith-Hughes act, as we'll as grade
teachers.
There are many special teachers
working in negro schools in the diff
! serent counties. Some Of them are
! principals Of the Rosenwald schools
and others are supervisors OF the
negro rural schools, working under
! the direction of ]. B. Felton,, the
! State agent. These teachers have
been sent to Hampton and Tuskegee
summer schools in the past because
Of the larger opportunities offered
there. All Of these special teachers
will attend tho summer session ut
the State College this summer, ac-
cording to a statement from Presi-
dent Wilkinson.
