SOURCES OF AMMONIA
USE COTTON THIS YEAR
Clemson Expert Says Cotton Seed
Meal Too High As A
Fertilizer

Clemson College, March.-Re-
Gently an article appeared in the
Weekly News Notes by Mr.. N. E
Winters of the Agronomy Division
which has been slightly m~isinterpre'
ted by some people. In order te
make clear the recommendations Of
Clemson College with reference tt
sources Of nitrogen to use this year
Prof. C. P. Blackwell, chief of the
Agronomy Division, has the follow
ing to say on the question of source:
of ammonia for cotton.
"To begin with, I wish to say
that cotton seed meal is entirely toe
high to use as a fertilizer. We
realize that a great many farmers
have cotton seed meal on hand anc
are going to use it; but it will GER
tainly be extreme folly for farmers
to buy cotton seed meal at the pres
emit price when they can purchase
more than twice as many pounds OF
ammonia in the form of nitrate Of
soda or sulphate of ammonia for the
same money.
con sandy land we like to USE
from one-third to one-half of oul
ammonia in the form of organic
ammonia, such as cotton seed meal
peanut meal, blood, tankage, fish
scrap. Even on sandy oil there is
no objection to the use of organic
ammonia, providing it is not too ex'
pensive; but for heavy soil We
would buy all sources of am
monia through which we could Sc
cure the largest amount Of am.
monia for the money invested
Even on a sandy soil we would moi
pay too high a price for organic
ammonia. It would be better to use
nitrate of soad and put it on in sew.
eral applications to prevent it's be-
ing lost through teaching, rather
than use organic ammonia at the
price which cotton seed meal would
cost just now"

REGARDING COTTON SOILS

Clemson College, March-Low,
late soil in small fields surrounded by
thickets and underbrush should not
be planted in cotton under boil wee
vii conditions. High land, we'll drain
ed, with enough actively decompos-
ing organic matter in it to make it
q ''quick, active" soil that warns up
early in the spring and starts cotton
off quickly without a stunning Pc
riod of rest, is the ideal cotton land,
according to the agronomists of
Clemson College.
Organic Matter Important-The
man who says use only poor soil for
cotton under boil weevil conditions,
does not distinguish between low,
late land and rich. active upland.
Under the most common method of
soil the only soil that contains much
organic matter is that in the low
fields where the organic matter has
naturally collected, and under boil
weevil conditions this soil natures
cotton too slowly. However, for the
average we'll drained upland soil a
crop Of velvet beans, soy beans. or
cowpeas will provide a large part Of
the nitrogen and increase the yield
Of cotton if they are cut and plowed
under in the fall to be actively de-
composing by cotton planting time.
Much organic matter should not
be turned under in the spring for
cotton under boil weevil conditions.
Flowing should be done deep in the
fall, if possible. A large amount of
organic matter turned under in the
spring: tends to delay maturity.

PEANUTS VALUABLE FOOD
RICH IN AMINO ACIDS

Peanuts are high in food value
says the United States Department OF
Agriculture, but there is no founda.
tion for the recently circulated re.
port that peanuts promote the growth
Of hair. Investigations carried on in
the Bureau of Chemistry with re-
gard to the chemical and nutritive
properties of the proteins of the
peanut have demonstrated that, aside
from the oil, which is easily digested
and which furnishes a large amount
of fuel or energy, the shelled peanut
contains about 20 per cent of protein
of a high nutritional quality.
When we eat protein we consume
in reality Is or 20 substances, known
as amino acids, each one of which
nay have quite special functions in
nutrition. Some proteins are deficient
IN certain of these acids and will not
promote growth. Peanut protein,
however, is rich in the amino acids
which are lacking in the proteins of
corn and grain, and for that reason
peanuts are an excellent supplement
to a cereal diet, whether in the form
Of a meal or press cake fed with corn
and cereal feeds to animals or as a
supplement to wheat protein when
used with wheat flour in bread MAX
ing.
The idea that eating
peanuts VII affect the growth of hair
may have arisen from the fact that
hair, wool, feathers, and similar ami
NAL tissues, when analysed, show a
relatively large amount Of cystine,
which is one of the amino acids pres
ent in protein. Even were the as
sumption true that by eating foods
containing cystine the growth of hair
could be stimulated, it would not ap-
ply in the case of peanuts, which do
not contain as high a percentage Of
cystine as many other common foods.

BUY GOOD DAIRY COWS.

Clemson College.-The profit to be
made from a dairy herd depends
largely upon the selection of good
dairy COWS to start with. 1t requires
from so to rs percent of the feed a
COW is capable of consuming to main
tain her body. It is therefore much
cheaper to produce say 80 gallons of
milk with ten COWS than with fifteen
cows, says j. P. Lancaster, chief of
the dairy division.
A good dairy cow is n which
first, is we'll bred and carries that
inherent tendency to convert feed in
to milk and butter fat; that is, she
comes from a breed and family of
heavy producers. Her owner should
know something about her history.
Second, the dairy COW should be
angular, clean cut, of medium length
and with a feminine appearance.
Third, she should have a strong con-
stitut:on and be rather large, ind
eating that she can consume and d.
gest large quantities of feed, especi-
ally roughages. (Which make the
ceape<t milk Fourth, she should
have a large pliable udder, teats, Of
good size and well placed, and large,
long, crooked milk veins. Fifth, she
should appear alert and energetic.
Sixth, she should have a mellow
loose skin of medium thickness and
soft silky hair, a clean fine bone, and
should appear free from beefiness
throughout.

! Hog For Every Ten Farms, All
; Breeds Included.
South Carolina has 192,693 farms
with only 141,946 head of breeding
hogs including scrubs and purebreds
Of all breeds. There is in the state
an average of about one breed SOW
to each two farms, according to the
1920 U. S. Census.
The U. S. Department Of Agricul.
ture gave out a statement recently in
which it was estimated that $40 ,000,.
0o0, 900 is wasted annually by farm.
ers in America by feeding scrub
swine. South Carolina has 21,282
lead of purebred hogs, all breeds in
cluded, which means that there is
only %purebred hog for each ten
farms.
According to D. F. Efrd, of Co.
lumbia, secretary of the South Caro-
line State Fair board, that ~asscoia-
ton has been e~ndeavoring to popu-
larize the purebred hog in this state,
and thereby increase the production
of swine on u farms, by inducing
large and classy exhibits of swine at
the annual state far. Mr.. Efrd an
nnounces that arrangements have
been made with the Poland China
Breed Promotion committee, of PEG
ria, Illinois, for a Futurity Show for
the 1922 fair, carrying $1,000 lin
prize money. The fair and the COM
mittee each guaranteeing fifty per
cent of the money.
This purse in addition to the mon
ey offered by the fair association in
the open classes will make the prize
money for this one breed aggregate
nearly $1,000 and consequently will
draw a large show.
According to the terms of the Flu
turity show, breeders will be eligible
70 compete for the premiums on con-
dition that they nominate their herd
by March Is, with the Poland China
Breed Promotion committee by the
payment Of SIS. There must be at
least twenty herds nominated for the
show to be assured.
Breeders in any adjoining state
where there is no Futurity show are
eligible to enter the South Carolina
show provided they nominate. Flu

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
CONTRACTS STILL COMING IN
Three Counties Sign up One-eighth

Three Counties Sign up One-eiEhth
of Quota for State
Columbia, March. 16.-Contracts
representing over 5000 bales of
cotton were received yesterday at
the offices of the South Carolina
Cotton Growers Cooperative associ.
attn. Lee county sent in 4,051 bales
sending the total number signed in
that county to 5,448 and J. P.
Quinerly is having the active as
sistance of Thomas G. Mcleod,
county chairman.
Three counties, Marlboro, Oar.
lington, and Sumter, have already
signedj considerably owe $4,000
bales, one-eighth Of the quota for
the whole state, officials Of the state
association said last night. E. w.
Evans, county chairman for Marl-
boro county, says he expects to sign
100000 bales or one-tenth of the
states quota in Marlboro county. If
all other counties maintain the pace
of these Pee Dee counties the state
will go far beyond its quota.
"South Carolina farmers can gain
from $40 to SIS and more on each
bale of cotton Just as I have done in
Texas" declares J. D. Coghlan of
Ennis, Texas, in a letter to R. C.
Hamer, chairman of the campaign
committee of the association. Mr..
Hamer is e~ndeayoring to have Mr..
Coghlan, who is a well known Texas
farmer, como to South Carolina and
tell the farmers of this state in
speeches just what the Texas asso-
citation has already done for him.
MI. Coghlan grew more than 100
bales Of cotton last year which he
turned over to the Texas Associa-
ton.
Don't let any one tell you that
the Texas association has not been
a great success" says MI. Coghlan
in his letter. ut has done remark
ably we'll and will do even better
next year because being one of the
first Of the cotton cooperative sell
ing associations to begin function

WEIGH YOUR VEGETABLES
Sales by Measure Versus Sales BY
Weight

NSAA
In view Of difficulties which are
necessarily encountered in attempt
ing to secure a uniform method of
filing and packing standard contain
ers, it is generally recognized that
weight is the only really definite
basis of sale, and for that reason the
pound or hundredweight should be
used where this is practical. An ex-
ception may be noted in regard to
products which are carefully graded
as to size in which case the sales
may be made satisfactorily by nu-
merical count.
Below are given the principal
commodities for which bushel
weights have been established by
law:
Apples so pounds, l bushel; beans
so pounds, l bushel; cabbage so
pounds, l bushel; cherries 40 pounds
/ bushel; corn, in the a 70 pounds,
l bushel; corn, shelled Sc pounds, 1
bushel; corn meal SO pounds, 1 bu-
shell; grapes 48 pounds, l bushel;
onions Sc pounds, l ibushel; peaches
so pounds, / ;bushel; peanuts %
pounds, 1 bushel; pears go pounds, l
bushel; peas, "a pounds, l bushel;
plums so pounds, / bushel; Irish po-
tatoes so pounds, 1 bushel; sweet
potatoes so pounds, l bushel; rice
a. pounds, / bushel; tomatoes Sc
pounds, 1 bushel; turnips so pounds
l bushel; wheat 60 pounds, 1 bushel.
Transactions involving the sale of
original containers sometimes can
not be made on a net-weight basis
without adding greatly to the cost
of marketing. Punishable commodi-
ties must be handled with all pos
sible dispatch, and the time and la
Dor required to weigh each package
would more than offset the good
which might result from a know
ledge of the exact weight. Further
more, many sales r made while
the products are in transit to mar
ket, and even if the weight at time
of packing were broken, a consider
able variation from this weight
might occur as q result Of shrinkage
due 10 drying out or decay. Then,
too q shipping package must be fill
ed compacly without regard to
weight or the product may be dam
aged by the movement within THE
container. In general it may be said
that transactions involving the sale
of packed fruits n vegetables in
the original container should be
made by the standard package, but
when it is necessary to break such
packages in order to dispose of the
commodity in smaller quantities,
sales should be made by weight or
count.

Spring housekeeping, if it Is or Lie

electric light bills In Iowa III per cent
or at least increase the efficiency OF

This is the conclusion of William
Kunert:, of the physics department OF

study of dusty globes on the efficiency
Of lights.
Every year. Mr.. Kunerth and his
class in Illumination make survey
of this question. The results for II per-
i0d of years show that with ordinary
electric globes the dust that collects
on the globes in Il single month will
cause loss of light of IL per cent
or more.
The loss with Indirect lighting sys-
TENS is found to be greater than with
direct, due to the fact that both the
globe and the bowl collect dust.
