S C & CANNON, Caimty Agant
In response to warnings from the
Federal Reserve, banlfs withdrew on
Friday $25,000,000 of call loans. The
idea was “to discourage speculation.”
That speculation keeps \Ag banks and
their gigantic profits alive, but that
is another story.
When loans were called, the rate
moved from 6 to 9 per cent. Banks
calling loans sacrificed 6 per cent on
$25,000,000 and made an additional
3 per cent on about four billions.
Ev* n a child on the farm could un
derstand that systematic usury must
be harmful. Even as base a thing as
a speculator, buying American securi-

Top Dressing Oats
As a rule the fanners delay top
dressing grain too lat^ in the season.
The exj^riments at Clemson college
show that from Feb. 16 to March 16
is the proper time to to^ dress grain.
Experiments show that it is most eco
nomical to use 160 pounds of nitrate
of soda, or its equivalent of any other
ammonia, per acre. Last year a dem
onstration was conducted with J. M.
Sumerel in the Hickory Tavern sec
tion, in which 150 pounds of ammonia
was used as top dressing. The first
application was on March 7th. which
wras 76 pounds, and the second appli
cation of 75 pounds, on March 14th.
The yield per acre where no top dress
ing was used w;as 6 1-4 bushels per
acre. Where top dressing was used a
yield of 24 1-10 bushels per acre re
sulted, or an increase of 17 85-100
bushels per acre by the use of top
dressing. I would advise applying your
top dressing as soon as possible.
Home Mixing Fertilizer
There is no question but what a big
saving may be made by the farmer
by home-mixing his fertilizer. The
following mixture may be used' in
case the farmer wishes to store it for
a short while, the mixture will ana
lyze approximately 9-4-4:
300 pounds of acid.
50 pounds of cotton seed meal.
100 pounds nitrate of soia.
100 pounds manure salt.

Wall Street men went to work last
week convinced that the world had
not quite come to an end, and even a
benevolent r:gulating Federal Re
serve might be endured.
Some for whom this is the begin

uphappy wiped-out minority that
tried the “faw down, go broke” 'ex
perience, will know better next time.
Others will kno*w better later.

Lady De Bathe died recently at
Monte Carlo, in her seventy-sevehth
year. As Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey
Lily, she was^ known wherever Eng
lish is spoken. Her reputation was due
largely to her marvelous complexion,
pink and white, natural colors. Such
complexions have gone out. Even little
girls are daubed and plastered.
Up above, the Jersey Lily ‘has
doubtless renewed acquaintance, with
Albert ^ward, who admired her when
be was ‘Prince of Wales. Will he look
natural, flitting about with white
wings and a harp ? Probably not. And

Seed and also nitrate of soda and

by Senator R. M^ Jefferies of ^Colleton,
the delegation in each county, where
a substantial number of farmers suf

from other emei^gehcy causes, is to
appoint a “farm relief” commission of
t^ee members, this group to ascer
tain the approximate amount of seed
needed and report to the extension de
partment at Clemson and to the ware
house commissioner. The purchase of
seed is to be made on the basis of
these reports. The seed is to be sold
at cost plus expenses. The commis
sions in the coupties are to serve with
out pay. Each commission is to have

An expenditure of more than $27,000,000 was
ear to expand and improve the Southern
ystem in the nine southeaAtem states.
More than 51,000 new telephones were added to the system,
convincing evidence of the increasing value of telephone smice
In every line of business.
This activity and growtli reflect the progress of the South
east, aud the improvement in the service emphasizes the EOdl
System effort to provide the best possible service at the lowest
cost to the user.
At the end of the year there were 960,587 telephones iki the
Southern Bell System. In 4iddition there were 345,572 tele*
f ihones owned by other companies and 38,508 telephones in
arm homes, connected with the system.
The investment in service reached the entwmoiia total of
$199,492,700 on December 31, 1928. It repreaenta aneh per^
manent properpr as 912 central offices with switchboards and
other associated e&uipment; 3,731,357 miles of wire (3.9 milea
per telephone); 36,7o9 miles of pole line and 3,409 miles of
undergroud ducL
To build, operate and manage this great telephone system
requires an mrmy of skilled men and women wheae payroll
amounted to $2^991,300 last year.
" The tax bUl for the year was also the largest in the history
of the company, amounting to $5,235,132. TUa was an in
crease of 224 per cent over the tax bill of 1920.
There was a (n«ater number of local and long distance calls
and the speed vdth which they were handled was —
Increased.
Notewmthy as has been telephone progress during the past
year, it will not stop. The entire telephone organization appre
ciates the friendly interest and confidence of the publio-a spirit
of cooperation which encourages them in their determination
to provide the most efl5cient service at the lowest possible coal
to the user.
