Give Preference to Winthrop Graduates. (Yorkville Enquirer) "Do you know that 60 per cent pf the young women who graduate from Winthrop College at Rock Hill go to North Carolina to teach?" inquired the superintendent of a North Caro lina public school, who was in York * the other day. "That is a fact, and I am on my way over to Rock Hill now to meet some of the members of the graduating class at Winthrop this year with a view to trying to employ them as teachers in my school next year. The reasor. for the preference for North Carolina situations is ob vious. South Carolina, I suppose, pays graduate teachers the smallest sal ary of any State in the Union. The average young woman who has spent four years working for a diploma^ at a school like Winthrop is not going to teach for a paltry $90 or $100 a month if she san help it. In North Carolina we are in a position to pay much higher sakries than that. All the Winthrop girls know it and we ; have no trouble getting them. I ara informed that almost half of the ; young women teachers in the public schools of Winstcn-Salem, N. C., are Winthrop girls. "Some time ago a movement was inaugurated in North Carolnia hav ing as its object the establishment of a normal and industrial school simi lar to Winthrop. The superintendent of education of the State opposed the idea, saying that there was no necessity for suc/i a school so long as North Carolina educators could come over in to South Carolina and get all the Winthrop girls needed for the schools because of the fact that teachers' salaries in North Carolina are so much greater than those paid in South Carolina." What is the Best Source of Nitrogen? Clemson College, June 9.-It 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 ni trate 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, velvet 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 reported the results of some of the work of that station in the Journal of Ameri can Society of Agronomy for May, 1922. As an average for a ten-year test slightly better results were se cured with mineral nitrogen than with organic nitrogen, all organic ni trogen 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 indicate 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 supposed. The combination of one-half min eral nitrogen and one-half organic nitrogen gave slightly better results than any single source when taken alone. For example, with potatoes, ni trate 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 a 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 gain per acre was from $10 to $12 in favor of the green manure crops, making due allowance for the phos phoric 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 r.:a nure crops for soil building purposes. These results indicate, says Prof. C. P. Blackwell, Agronomist, that here in the South we can save a great deal of money by planting vel vet beans, cowpeas, and soy beans as sources of nitrogen instead of de pending entirely on commercial ni trogen, for which we always have to pay a very high price.

Unemployment and the restless spirit created by war is undoubtedly responsible for much of it. But even so, law abiding citizens have grown tired of contributing to the support of petty thieves, holdup men and burglars, and in many cities and communities the good citizens have boldly issued a challenge to these roughnecks and advised them to either obey the law or to move on. Ont in Ranger, Texas, the tough element kept increasing its activities until neither one's property nor per son was safe day or night. To cor rect this evil, those who believe in law and order got together, selected a committee . and boldly advanced upon those known to stand out defi antly against good judgment and told them to move on or go to jail. A warning was issued to other suspects and as a consequence, Ranger is once again a city where life and property has reasonable protection. Good citizens are always in the majority in every city, town and community. They only need to assert themselves, offering and giving their hearty support to the constituted of ficials, to have every law enforced. The more openly they do this, the more fear is thrown into the hearts of the lawless. There is no good rea son for law-abiding citizens to work under cover.-Farm and Ranch. Bull Sentiment-Bear Prices. Does the present price of-cotton fully discount the mullish statistical position of the staple in the markets of the world? Many members of the trade say it does not, and are antici pating higher prices for the 1922 crop than now prevails. They base their anticipations upon the present demand for spot cotton and the rap idly shrinking stocks. The government figures for May show that while the 1921 crop in America amounted to 7,800,000 bales of all kinds, the consumption of American cotton from August 1, 1921, to May 1, 1922 was 10,513,488 bales, with a weekly consumption of 229,332 bales. With the present rate of consumption, the amount of Amer ican cotton consumed from August 1, 1921, to August 1, 1922 will amount to 13,494,737 bales, or ap proximately 500,000 bales more than was produced last year. This will leave the stocks at the beginning of the 1922-23 season at the lowest ebb for. manytyears. -, Those who keep in close touch with the cotton situation say that there will be need for fully 13,000,000 bales of American cotton next year, and but few believe that under pre vailing conditions, that the South will produce within sixty per cent of that amount. Therefore, there is reason to believe that those who have cotton for sale next fall will receive a fair price, as compared with price levels of the past few years. No matter what the price, if farmers have plant ed cotton, it will be good business to make its yield its maximum. Cultivate carefully and use every economical means in fighting the boll weevil and other insect pests. Every additional pound thus produced or saved will be that much money in your pocket. Farm and Ranch. Poultry Sanitation Important. Clemson College, S. C., June 9. Most of our poultry diseases are brought about by unsanitary condi tions in the poultry yards, poultry house and feeding utensils. Recently examination and thorough study was made on some poultry farms in Flor ence county where there had been an outbreak of a disease, resulting in heavy mortality, says N. R. Mehrhof, Extension Poultry Specialist, who re ports that upon examination of the birds tape worms, round worms and ? coccidia were found, and that upon studying the conditions under which the chicks were living it was found that they were housed in unsanitary houses, the yards were unsanitary, and the feeding hoppers were dirty. What does sanitation mean? It means clean sanitary houses, houses that are dry, properly ventilated, plenty of sunshine; clean yards, that are planted in some good green crop; clean birds, clean feeding and water hoppers; clean feed. If we do not have the above we cannot make a success in poultry. There is no one phase of the poul try industry that is neglected as much as this. We cannot expect to get results if our poultry does not have the proper environment. Sanitation means better poultry and more profit.

It is confirmed testimony that no Edgefield resident can doubt. Mrs. E. C. Crouch, Gully Row, says "I had backache until I couldn't rest and dizzy spells came on when my sight was affected, causing black spots to appear before my sight. My kidneys acted too freely and I used Doan's Kidney Pills. Doan's helped me from the first and when I had fin ished one box I felt entirely well. I have had no trouble with my kidneys since." Mrs. Crouch gave the above state ment on February 7th, 1918 and on February 6th, 1922, she added: "I have not needed a kidney medicine since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me. I can always recommend them." 60c at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Abbeville-Greenwood Mu tual Insurance Asso ciation. ORGANIZED 1892. Property Insurred $17,226,000.
