States Aiding Forestry---Anmy Sales Total Large

~ ROBABLY never IN the history OF this coun-
- try has there been such marked interest in
forest preservation by State legislators as at
the present time, report officers Of the For
est Service United States Department of Agriculture.
No less than hiry-th States have provided for
some sort of forestry activities and twenty -hve
share in the Federal cooperative forest protection
fund allotted to States maintaining effective FIRE
detection and suppression system. Two others have
applied recently for such assistance Public backing
OF the movement to preserve the remaining forests
from destruction by fire, and to put idle forest lands
to work growing trees is becoming widespread and
the effects of the popular demand for action is shown
clearly in the State laws passed this year.
Pennsylvania, under the direction of Clifford Pin
chot, the new commissioner OF forestry, leads all
States IN forest activities. The biennial appropria-
ton passed by the legislature and approved by the
governor carried $I.87oooO. increase of $S633oo
over the appropriation of 1919; 100000 of the to-
tai is for FIRE protection. The legislature also passed
an act empowering the Federal government to &C
quirc lands the watersheds of navigabe streams
within the State, by purchase condemnation, and
to- control and regulate such reserves.
The Minnesota legislature generous
with the State forestry board than before. A
total Of $27ssoo for general forestry work ap
proprated for the next two years, Of which $I25ooo
year is for the FIRE protection. The last named
sum vas augmented by an additional allotment Of

Pastures for Pigs.

Clemson College, May.-We cannot
make the hog business 60 in this state
unless we make good use Of our graz
ing season. A pig in a pen is lazy
and expensive, while the pig on pas
ture is happy, thrifty, and profitable.
Every experiment station, every ex-
tension department., and every pros
porous hog raiser in this country be-
lieves in good pastures Cor hogs.
What can we grow in South Caro-
lima that hogs will pasture? Rape,
rye, soybeans, cowpeas, Bermuda, les
pedeza, velvet beans and many other
pastures do we'll in this state Sup
pose we try some Of these pastures
and cut our grain ration in two.
Will hogs do we'll on pasture alona?
No. it is best to feed little grain
while the hogs are on the pasture.
Two or. three ears Of corn to each

Livestock Leaks.
Prepare to Care for Animals and
Manure.

Clemson College, May.-Are you
ready? It is said that opportunity
knocks at the door of every man some
time during his life, and the question
which you must ask yourself Is, "Am
l ready" Are you ready to go into
the livestock game? Is your land we'll
fenced? Have you the right sort OF
pastures? Do you raise your own
feed or must you buy it? It pays to
grind your ak before you start. If
you plan to go into the livestock busi-
ness be sure you are ready and then
go in to stay.
Animals make loads of manure Are
you prepared to save it? The horse
will produce tons, the dairy cow IS
tons, the steer tons, the hog tons,
and the sheep 2-5 Of ton per year.
Will you save this manure?
The best international havesters
in the world for corn and velvet beans
are cattle and hogs. The best inter
national manure spreaders are hogs
and cattle. The gTandest fertilizer In
all the world Is manure.
On the average a ton OF barnyard
manure will contain 10 pounds of nit.
rogen, 5 pounds Of acid, and 10 pounds
Of potash 1t also contains large
amount of organic matter which our
South Carolina soils need and must
have.
Experimental Results With Manure.
Did you ever stop to think that
more than half the fertilizing value
Of manure is in the liquid manure?
The Ohio Experiment Station found
out that enough manure was lost by
seepage in twelve months time, even
where liberal amounts Of bedding
were used, to pay for concreting the
floor
Ohio and Cornell Stations have
proved that manure exposed in the
barnyard will lose approximately SO
percent Of it's value. If it is allowed
to heat, the loss runs from 10 to Is
percent greater.
It is a common practice to haul
manure to the field and place 1t In
piles. This is not a good plan. 1t
should be Immediately spread over
the SOIL and the thinner it is spread
the better. A ton Of manure thinly
spread will be worth more than one
thickly spread Thirty-ive years
work at the Pennsylvania Experiment
Station goes to prove that manure put
on at the rate Of 12 tons per acre re-
turned 1929 per ton, while manure
put on at the rate of 20 tons per acre
Welded only S229 per ton.

The crop contract is essential for
the reason that it gives the association
title to the commodity for purposes OF

association could not market the COM

It is understood that the British op- position to the Borah bill is based on the belief that the placing of American vessels on the free list would make a general increase in charges for the shipping of other nations, to create additional revenue for the canal
