TOBACCO ASSOCIATION
HAS BIG CELEBRATION

a single check for $1,127, ,673. .06
was received by the Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association last week on
account Of sales of redried tobacco
from the South Carolina belt made to
r. j. Reynolds company.
All of this money was turned loose
in South Carolina and border North
Carolina markets along with some
proceeds from other sales of South
Carolina tobacco in the second adj
vance to member tobacco growers on
Monday, November 13.
Mass meetings of tobacco growers
in celebration of this second payment
in the South Carolina belt were held
at Kingstrcc, Florence, Conway, Null
Inns and Cowards. Treasurer j. II
Craig and Executive Manager Sands
addressed the growers and told them
how their organization was handling
tobacco in busincss-like manner to
the advantage of the growers. Mem
bers in South Carolina had been told
that they would never get any more

it should be sanitary, for if the birds
become sick, their vitality is low
cred and it will be impossible for
them to produce eggs economically.
Some of the other needs of proper
housing are the following: there
should be no moisture nthc house,
for if there is, disease is bound to
arise; there should be plenty of
ventilation but the birds should not

health and vigor up to q maximum
there should be plenty of room for
the birds to exercise. The house
should not be kept too hot OF al
lowed to become to cold, for either

state of fertility. In order to pre-
vent washing it is necessary to have
proper tcrracing. Next to proper
tcrracing is the incorporation of or
ganic matter as the most important
thing for our thin soils. We have
found that the greater the amount
Of organic matter added to most
South Carolina soils the greater the
amount Of fertilizer thot can be ap-
piled with profit.
We have also found that legum IS
constitute the best source of organic
matter. Legumes when grown as q
companio". crop make the most eco
nomical contribution of organic mat
ter and nitrogen to the sill. Of these
companion crops perhaps the velvet
bean is the most valuable, when
grown as companion crop with corn.
Cowpeas and soy beans may also be
grown successfully in this way.
The lcgumc's next most cconom-
ical contribution to soil improve
mcnt is as winter cover crop. The
legumc may be grown alone or in
combination with rye. Rye and
vetch make one of our best winter
cover crops when turned under as a
green manuring crop.
The third most important factor
in soil improvement is crop rotation.
a crop rotation in which legume
appears as often as practicable is
extremely important in soil improve
mcnt and in promoting greatest eff
cheney of valuable plant food in the
soil. We have found in our expert
mcnts that a crop rotation contrib"
utes as much to the yied of crops as
1000 pounds of 8-4-4 fertilizer
per acre. 1t is therefore contribu-
ton which can not be neglected.
Proper cultivation is also a very
important factor in efficient crop pro-
duction. Many Of the farmers in
South Carolina do not have the pro-
per plows or sufficient teams with
which to prepare and cultivate their
land efficiently.
Another aid to successful crop pro-
duction is proper use of lime and
commercial fertilizer. From our ex-
perimcnts to date, we believe that
lime when used in connection with
organic matter and crop rotation is
a valuable aid to soil building and
economical production. The judi
cious use of commercial fertilizer is
essential to profitable crop produc-
ton on practically all of the soil of
this state. Judging both from our
experiments and from observation of
the practice of our most successful
farmers, we are convinced that the
above named factors are the deter
mining factors in successful cror
production in this state. We believe
that any farmer who will put into
practice proper tcrracing, crop rota-
ton, Incorporation of organic mat
ter, and combine with thi sgooG TIL
lage practices and judicious use of
lime with commercial fertilizer, will
be able to produce crops economical
ly and profitably.

Winter War on Pests

Our insect pests for any growing
season come from those that success
fully passed the preceding winter. For
these pests to maintain themselves
on the farm in the orchard certain
conditions are necessary, says Prof.
A. f. Conradi, Entomologist, and
these conditions should not exist.
The old cotton stalks and corn
stalks, as we'll as ,mkcpt ditch
banks, terraces fence rows, etc, fur
nish shelter for the boil weevil and
other maurauding insects of farm
crops.
By tolerating an unkept orchard
and undernourishcd trees we invite
San Jose scale plum curulio, apple
worm, shot hole borcr, and other
pests to stay with us in our orchards
over winter and enjoy our hospital
ity. Allowing the refuse of garden
crops to remain in the garden mdis-
turbed is to provide comfortable
| winter homes for insect enemies of
the garden.
| This is an opportunity to do away
with the old-fashioncd privy, the
most repulsive and most dangerous
producer of flies anywhere. And we
have time no VITO arrange for bet
ter system of taking care of manure
instead Of leaving it in open stalls
and under the open sun to rear flies
by billions next spring.
Now is good time to care for
rain barrels, cistcrns, tin cans, wa
ter holes, an dothcr places that breed
the mosquitoes that make life un-
comfortable on the porch and in the
house next spring.
Winter is not the idle season as
some may think, but it is the most
important season to prepare for The
next years crop and comforts

There are no commercial varieties
of wheat immune to the leaf rust,
which is the most common one in
this section. Moreover, the infection
is airborne and not seed-born. 1t is
clear therefore, that good grain,
even if from badly rusted stalks, will
be as good as any other. And since
the infection is not seed-borne, no
seed treatment can influence the
amount of rust infection.
This does not mean to imply, of
course, that treatment of the seed
is of no value for stinking smut and
some other disease are thereby con-
trOlled.

Treatment of Calf Scours


Scours in calves may be due to over
feeding irregular feeding, feeding cold
milk, sour milk, dirty milk, use Of
unsanitary feeding pals, etc, says j.
p. Lancaster, Chief of the Dairy Divis-
ion, who makes the following sugges-
tions for treatment:
1. For ordinary scours, as soon
as symptoms are observed, omit one
feeding and reduce next feeding to
half, and then gradually bring up
to original quantity.
In case the disease becomes OBJ
stinatc, give from 1 1-2 to 2 table
spoonfuls of caster oil, repeating the
dose on the second day if necessary.
Scours may be due to the mothers
milk being too rich in butter fat.
2. 70 prevent white scours, tie
the navel string close to the body
and paint with iodine as soon as the
calf is born. There is no cure for
white scours.
