1t S Third Week

The Legislature enters its thitd
week today. The Governor says he
is satisfied with progress already
made.
However, the real fight opens
today, with the general tax act un-
der consideration.
Business men of the state, par
ticularly large and small corpora
tons, view income tax with the
greatest uneasiness.
The terrific cost, worry and time
that the Federal income tax has
placed on business, has disguised
most men with it as means of
raising revenue.
1t is not so much the amount Of
taxes that must be paid under an
income tax law, but the reverend
ing making and re-making of the
returns; the expense of employing
accountants to answer the questions
propounded and making out the in
come blanks.
The same condition is feared
with a state income tax that ex-
lists with the Federal tax machin-
cry,

(From Farm Life.)

IN spite of the increasing spreads
of the cotton boll weeviI, farmers
of South Carolina, Georgia and
other southern states are making
large acre cotton yields by stimu-
lating the production of the plant
with scientific APPLICATIONS of com
mercial plant food. This is thu
newest and perhaps most effective
method of controlling the Mexican
pest, which has now spread over the
entire cotton belt of the South.
Marlborough county, South Car
DINA, is one of the smallest cot
ton-raising counties of the South,
but its average production as APP
proximately one bale an acre or, 70
be exact 81 900 bales on $4,000
acres. Yet, Marlborough county is
as badly infested with boil weevIl
as any of the other sections of the
South. The difference is that
Marlborough county farmers ferti-
lie their cotton heavily-often as
much as 500 pounds of CONNER
cial plant food being used on = an
acre of cotton.
Recently, a group of Texas and
Arkansas farmers visited Marlbor-
ougb county, South Carolina to
study cotton raising under weevil
conditions and what they learned
probably will revolutionize cotton
culture in those states.
In the first place, Marlborough
county cotton growers use a com,
mercial fertilizer containing from
ten to twelve per cent phosphorie
acid, together with three to fou
per cent nitrogent and two or three
per cent potash This is used on
the usual Coastal Plain soil types
consisting of what are known as
Ruston Susquehanna, Norfolk OF
( Greenville land. Much of this soil
is either sandy or has been cover
ed with sand originally. In places
/ the sand has all been washed away
through years of continuous farm
ing. In the newer farming sections
the sands may be quite deep, often
fifteen to twenty inches.
The more sandy the soil thu
more fertilizer Ncan be used, pro
vided that the requisite amount 81

How South Carolina Farmers Are Raising
Cotton And Beating The Boil Weevils

egetable matter is incorporated
with the soil in well-balanced
farm rotation. Cow peas and vel
vet beans are pIowed under after
enough peas or beans are gathered
TO take care of next seasons seed
requirements. The points is 10
store humus ia the land and thus
make it ready for the huge appli-
cations Of commercial plant foods
which really produce the bumper
cotton crops one year after anoth-
al.
Tne second factor in Marlbor-
ough county's successful cotton
raising, plan is to plant early
enough to get the cotton plants well
started before the weevils have
come out of winter Information.
The date when the boil weevils
start to emerge after their long
sleep is about March /, depending
upon seasonal conditions. In mild
winters, wevils often remain active
throughout the whole winter period
resulting in a rapid death rate. The
average emergence is from March
to June Is, the maximum being
about June / . Practically all wee4
wills have left winter quarters by
+ Jone Is. If cotton growers take
| this fact into consideration they
will be surprised to know that
they can plant cotton early enough
every year to beat the weeYils to
a crop, especially if they use CONF
mercial plant foods to hurry np the
maturity of the cotton bolls.
Weevils will not bother matured
hollis if there are plenty of tender
squares to attack Therefore, by
forcing the plants to, make early
hollis the greatest danger of weevilS
/ is obviated. Planting about March

/ six to eight weeks. However, the
maximum emergence of weevils
does not take place till late in May,
: which allows many cotton squares

! into producing by stimulating plant
foods such as nitrogen and phos-
+ phoric acid. Side applications Of
fifty pounds Of nitrate of soda or
sulphate of ammonia to the cotton
plants at the time the first squares
are forming has been found very

PHILANTHROPY

I've often thought if l were rich
I'd spend but little on myself.
There are so np9py causes which
A man could aid who had the pelf.
I'd help the pooB I'd strive to live
To save men from the numbing clutch
Of bitter want I'd give and give
To schools and colleges and such.
OF course, I'd need country place,
A city home, southern cottage
U'd want some luxury and grace
Out of my little mess of pottage),
Clothes, servants, cars-enough of these
To make a proper social standing,
A yacht to sail upon the seas
To any port might be landing;
I'd, want some paintings, rugs and books
Gn vellum and de luxe editions,
To stow away in various hooks,
But save for some such small ambitions
Unselfishly I'd always plan
To share my great prosperity
With my less lucky fellow-man o..
And give my all to charity!
