Negotiations to Revive Potash.

Berlin, Dec. 31.-Negotiations be-
tween German and American busi-
ness men for reyiving the potash
trade, which have been interrupted
several times within the last year,
will be resumed in New York about
the middle of January it was learned
here today. German experts reported
the potash producers will sail Janu-
sry a to take part in the meetings.
Americans recently have been in
Germany, presumably in the interest
of Southern cotton growers of the
United States who were the largest
rure-war consumers of the product.
They are known to have shown keen
interest in the German efforts to put
She potash mines on their former
producing basis. Fertilizer has been
imported since the outbreak of the
war from South American deposits
.at an expense much greater than
6hat of German production. Disagree
ments between the American and
German representatives which caused
discontinuance of the negotiations
arose over the question of price and
tonnage. With increased freight
space available it is believed here
That there is good prospect for an
agreement on prices in spite of the
low value of German money.

Doctors Warn Now of Pneu-
monia Ills.

monia Ills
This is the open season for pneu-
monia and it is all important that
all precautions possible be taken to
avoid this disease.
Director Forbush, head of the
health department of Philadelphia,
has issued the following timely
warning and suggestions:
>"Pefsons of all ages are susceptl-
BILE to pneumonia. The young and
the aged are especially affected by
this disease, being more predisposed
to the detrimental influences of cold
and to infection by disease organ
isms. By far the largest percentage
of deaths from pneumonia occurs
between the ages of forty-fve and
seventy and under the age of two.
1t is interesting to note that in the
age group of ten<to twenty the per
centage of deaths from this disease
is comparatively small.
''Since the Influenza epidemic of
1918 the percentage of deaths from
pneumonia among those of active
adult life is rapidly increasing.
Both male and female are susceptl-
BILE to this disease, but the former
mora an because of more frequent
and prolonged exposure to the out
door weather conditions and be-
cause of their occupations.
with these facts in mind, it be-
hooves the public to adopt every
precaution to reduce the number OF
avoidable and premature deaths
from pneumonia during the winter.
VENTILATION is SAFEGUARD.
'sBy far the most important gem
eral measure for the prevention OF
acute respiratory diseases is proper
and sufficient ventilation, whether it
he in the living room, the office. the
workshop, the street car or in any
public assembly. 1t is absolutely
necessary that the air we breathe be
continually renewed. Dilution OF
indoor atmosphere, with the pure
and fresh outdoor air reduces the
likelihood of infection.
Second in Importance to ventila-
ton is the urgency of causing the
public to refrain from the indecent,
repugnant and dangerous habit OF
expectorating upon the sidewalks,
in public places and on the high
ways. Persons comparatively in
good health and those convalescing
from pneumonia may carry the
germs ST pneumonia in the nose and
throat, and transmit the disease to
others unintentionally and thought
lessly by coughing, sneezing and
splitting.
Sufficient and proper, clothing,
more especially for the young and
the aged, is essential in protecting
the body from undue exposure to
the cold. Proper amount of sleep
and the avoidance of excesses are
measures which aid in the preven.
tion of pneumonia.
Secondary causes of pneumonia
| in the same household may be
avoided if the primary cause is iso,
lated and treated, as any other in,
fectious disease.

United States Holds Lead in
Financial World.

s r 1ndUC1dl EVOE10ss
Comparing 1920 and 1921 the
manufacturers Record urges that we
nut our shoulders to the wheel. The
Chronicle also would urge it and we
urge business courage and confidence
and optimism for the South is not
broke, the South has been hit hard
Dut we can't be kept down. The Re
cord says very aptly:
The Old Year opened in a blaze OF
almost limitless activity and pros
perSty. Farmers and merchants were
as prosperous as merchants and man
ufacturers. The demand for labor
exceeded the suppl. No one who
wanted to work lacked the opportu-
nifty. The Old Year ends, and the
New Year will open, with many peo-
pie out of employment, with stagna-
ton everywhere as compared with
the activity of twelve months ago;
but it is in the power of American
people to make the New Year, before
it closes, show prosperity as wide
and employment as general as was
the condition twelve months ago.
sInherently every condition JUS
tifes optimism and activity, We
have had no epidemics of disease to
sweep over the land, no drought to
destroy our crops, no floods to wash
/. away railroads and bridges, and no
earthquakes to shatter down our
structures; we have simply been sui
fering from the unwise action OF
men *, in financial leadership wholly IN
competent for their task.
sWe have been paying the penalty
for some of the wild extravaganza
and graft and kindred work of the
Last eight years, and more especially
of the four years of war.
seBut we can put all these things
behind us. We have raised abundant
,.rops. our barns are bursting with
riches of food and feed. The shelves
of the world are bare of the things
that we can produce and have In
abundance. We only need courage un
der the leadership of the hour to go
forward to greater prosperity than
that which ushered in the year that
Is now passing out.
sThen, up with the spirit of opti-
rnism! down with the spirit of pes
simism! Let all Americans unite for
the upbuilding of the whole country,
for putting aside class hatred, for the
greater efficiency in work and the
largest pay which the business can
stand, for suppressing graft and
honoring honesty, for that patriotism
which can find expression in working
for the business advancement of the
country as wholesouledly as it work
ed for the saving Of the nation from
barbarism.
nThe future is ours; the opportu-
mites slimitless. If we make the most
of the. situation, the coming year
win bring an abundance of prosperity
TO every section and to every indus
TRY.

Suggestions for Setting Out
Young Trees.

Set the young trees out in a per-
manent place just as soon as receiv-
ed to prevent their drying out.
Q. If you cannot fud time to set
them out Immediately, then heel
ing in" will prevent their drying
out. This is done by digging a
ditch 2 feet wide and about l l-2
feet deep and spreading the trees
thinly in the trench. Then fill in
with loose dirt to about 6 inches
above the point where they stood
in the nursery. Trees treated in
this manner will keep for several
weeks without injury.
8. Young trees should be set out
about two inches deeper than they
stood in the nursery row. The holes
should be dug deep and broad
enough to allow the natural spread
of the roots.
4. The roots should be pruned to
about 8 or 10 inches in length.
All broken and diseased roots
should be removed.
s.. The tops of the young trees
should be pruned when they are set
out. If they are one year old and
have no side limbs, simply cut the
tops back to make them branch at
the proper height. The peach trees
are cut back to ls inches and apple
trees to "a inches when they are set
out.
6. 1t is good idea to mix the
top soil with half pound of an s-4-2
commercial fertilizer, and put this
around the roots of the trees.
Z. In planting the trees always
put some of the top soil in the hole
before the tree is set. After the
tree has been placed, throw the soil
in, being sure to pack soil firm
about the roots.
g.. About 2 inches of manure as a
mulch applied at the base of the
young tree will help considerably.
Trees. handled in this manner
should give good results. Clemson
