ed by rattlers or other poisonous
snakes, there is slight chance of be-
ing bitten.
AS the food of snakes consists Of
living prey, they can not be killed by
poisoned bats. The only method
thus far devised to kill them seems to
be clubbing or shooting. This is best
done in early spring, when they are
still sluggish after the winter hiber-
nation. Allowing hogs free run Of
infested land may reduce the number
of snakes. However, the popular idea
that hogs are immune to snake bite
is probably based on the impenetrab-
ility by the venomous fangs of their
skin and fat layer rather than on ac-
tual immunity Of these animals.
The varieties most commonly found
III this country are the Elapdae, or
Harlequin snakes, and the Crotalidae,
or "pit vipers," which include rattle
snakes, cotton-mouth water mocca-
sins, and copper-heads.

system as the moist flesh Southern
sweet potato. However, the methods
of growing, harvesting, curing and
marketing as practiced in former
years are not acceptable in COM
mercializing and establishing sweet
potato growing as an industry. South
Carolina now produces annually ap-
proximately 100000 bushels of
sweet potatoes, or in the neighborhood
of 10 per cent of the total annual pro-
duction of the potato producing states
of the United States, but South Caro-
lima puts on the commercial markets
rather less than 10 per cent of her
production.
The commercial markets, mainly
the northern markets, are accepting
only the highest quality product
from the storage houses and green
or summer shipments Therefore the
consuming power of the lasting and
economical market is limited to very
early summer shipments and the
highest quality storage house potatoes
rather than those potatoes kept in
the old-fashioned dirt hills or banks.
Hence, growers and prospective grow
ers of sweet potatoes must realize
the vital Importance of quality pro-
duction, together with the necessity of
marketing locally and feeding to live
stock the off grades, for just as much
expense is involved in the marketing
of low grade product as in market
ing one Of the highest quality.
A profitable market may be had
for off grades by supplying farm
needs and local markets, and by
feeding to livestock. In short, at
present profitable sweet potato grow
ing, might be said to be contingent
upon combining this as an industry
with other diversified branches of
agriculture-small dairy herds, hog
raising, beef cattle and horses and
mules.
Extension Bulletin So, The Sweet
Potato Industry, has just been pub
lished to give working information
on the growing an handling of the
sweet potato as commercial crop.

WHAT is THE BEST
SOURCE OF NITROGEN

Clemson College, June cit has
generally been the custom during
the past several years that farmers
have paid considerably higher prices
for organic sources of nitrogen than
they have for mineral nitrogen, such
as nitrate of soda or sulphate of
ammonia. There has often been a
question also about the relative
value of nitrogen secured from green
manure crops, such as cowpeas, vel
vet beans, ETC., as compared with
stable manure and mineral sources
of nitrogen.
The New Jersey Experiment Sta
tion has been conducting a series of
experiments along this line and
Prof. A. w. Blair has recently report
ed the results of some of the work
Of that station in the Journal of
American Society of Agronomy for
May, 1922. AS an average for a
ten-year test slightly better results
were secured with mineral nitrogen
than with organic nitrogen, all or
ganic nitrogen being furnished in
the form of blood, fish scrap, and
tankage. The mineral nitrogen was
supplied in the form of nitrate of
soda and sulphate of ammonia and
calcium nitrate. There was very
little difference, but the results in
dicate that the organic nitrogen does
not last longer in the soil than the
mineral nitrogen, and that the
mineral nitrogen does not leach out
readily as has generally been suppos-
ed.
The combination of one-half
mineral nitrogen and one-half or
ganic nitrogen gave slightly better
results than any single source when
taken alone. For example, with po-
tatoes, nitrate of soda alone gave
251 bushels per acre; fish scrap
gave 244 bushels, and tankage gave
241 bushels; while a combination
of nitrate of soda and fish scrap
gave 257 bushels per acre, in a five
year test.
A comparison was made also be-
tween green manure crops when
grown regularly in rotation, and
stable manure. The result was that
higher yields were secured from the
green manure crops than from the
stable manure, and that the average

DEATH FROM SNAKE BITES

Although the average mortality
from American venomous snakes is a

bites is quite rare, according to the

States Department of Agriculture,
because relatively few persons en-

ALL STATES APPROVE
NEW FORD LENS
Passes All ROad-IlluminatiOn and
Anti-Glare Laws.

LAWS.
A new headlight lens recently per-
fected by the Ford Motor Company
Detroit, for use on it's cars and trucks
has received formal official approval
in each of the forty eight states now
having specific regulations and pro-
visions for tests.
Ford engineers state that the two
requirements of any headlight are
sufficient road-illumination and lack
of glare. To achieve this result, it is
necessary to develop a lens which
throws a strong light over the road,
but which so weakens the rays on a
level with the eyes of an approaching.
motorist, that there is an absence Of
glare.
When testing the new Ford lens,
even in those states whose headlight
rs are the most exacting, it was
nd that it produced three times the
.cquired illumination fthc road, and
hat the glare was reduced to one
half of that allowed.
State officials were impressed with
the Ford lens, many stating hat it
would set a new and highc, standard
for automobile headlights, and COM
mcnding the Ford Company for the
progress that had been made.
Although they arc included as stan
dard equipment on all Ford cars, the
new Ford "H' lenses were so design
cd that they would be adaptable to
all hcad-lamps now in use on Ford
cars.-Adv.

gain per acre was from $1,000 to
$1,000 in favor of the green manure
crops, making due allowance for
the phosphoric acid and potash in
the manure and without regard TO
the larger yields secured from the
green manure crops. This indicates
the very great Importance of the
use of green manure crops for soil
building purposes.
These results indicate, says Prof.
G. P. Blackwell, Agronomist, that
here in the South we can save a
great deal of money by planting
velvet beans, cowpeas, and soy beans
as sources Of nitrogen instead of
depending entirely on commercial
nitrogen, for which we always have
to pay very high price.

orchards throughout the summer
months unless they are to be planted
IN some leguminous crop in June.
Peas or soy beans should be planted
between the rows of fruit trees and
the vines worked into the soil with
disk harrow in early fall. Two
tablespoonfuls of nitrate of soda ap-
piled around fruit trees one and two
years old will be very beneficial.
Scatter the nitrate of soda in
circle about 18 inches from the body
of the tree and work it into the first
few inches of soil by hoeing.
Rub off all suckers or sprouts
which apepar on the trunk Of the
trees so as to concentrate the entire
growth into the permanent branches.
Summer pruning Of newly set fruit
trees should be done in June. This
consists of removing surplus BRAN
ches. After the young peach trees
have made growth of Is inches, the
tops of the branches that are to be
permanent should be pinched out SO
as to force the limbs to branch. This
will do away with the necessity of
severe pruning next fall, and cause
the trees to form larger and more
symmetrical head.
Grapes and apples should be spray
ed with Bordeaux mixture every two
or three weeks for the control Of
diseases which attack them and cause

COTTON GROWERS

Clemson College, June 6.-The
1. Oklahoma Cotton Growers Associa-,
tion now numbers over $4,000 mem
bers, who sold their 1921 cotton crop,
comparatively at an average gain
I of $3.50 per bale over the street
quotations, thus proving concretely
the value of cooperation for selling.
South Carolina farmers who have
not yet Joined the association now
being organized in this state and
who have any doubt left as to the
practical benefits of the organization
should read the extracts below from
the report of the recent convention
of the Oklahoma Association and
fhen lose no time in joining:
oklahoma cotton farmers are a.
lead fthe game nearly Sd million
collars this year as result of hav-
fg marketed their crop co-operative-
y, according to figures made public
R the Oklahoma Cotton Growers
Association. The association, which
is nonprofit, nonstock, 40 per cent
pool, cooperative cotton marketing
organization, has membership of
thirty-five thousand actual growers,
who have signed legally binding
contracts to market all of their crop
thru the organization for period of
seven years.
with approximately Is per cent
of its members crop yet to sell, the
association shows gain over the
average street price of $3.50 per
bale. On the one hundred thou
sand bales handled by the associa-
ton this year, this represents total
gain of $65O,OOO.
"The association is. credited by
those familiar with the Oklahoma
cotton market in past years with
having discovered" good middling
cotton. This grade was seldom found
in the state under the old system of
street sales, when grower had no
facilities for determining the actual
quality and sold on the buyers grade
and staple at the buyers price.
""The Oklahoma Cotton Growers
Association" said Eugene Meyer,
managing director of the War Fin
ance Corporation, in an address,
"by finding a way to finance it's
product over the period in which it
is to be marketed, instead Of dump
ing Immediately it is picked, has
exerted a decided influence toward
stabilized prices. This organization
was also largely responsible for the
high price which obtained early in
the season."
"Thru cooperation on the "Okla
homa plan" the cotton growers of
that state have for the first time
been able to borrow money in suf-
ficient quantity to finance their crop
on terms they were able to meet.

to association members has been cf
fected in the elimination of Country

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Babies who

of accidental deaths to 3,4S3 in New

ment reports reveal. This represents
decrease of 400 from the acciden-
tai deaths of 1919.
Only 9S7 of the victims we're fe-
males, while 2,496 were males Even
among infants the death rate for
males was by far the higher. probab-
ly, according to the health office, be-
cause boy-babies often come to grief
through inquisitiveness and a natural
tendency to seek adventure.
THE most important cause of ac-
cidental death from numerical
standpoint is the automobile" the re-
