will treat two acres of cotton.
Top Dressing Corn
Within the next few days, or weeks,
top dressing should be applied to corn.
If you are using more than 100 pounds
I would suggest one-half the amount
be applied when the corn is about
knee high. The second application to
follow when the corn is about waist
high, or just before bunching tassel.
.The amount that shows the greatest
increase of corn, and which would be
I a satisfactory amount to use, is 200
j pounds per acre of nitrate of soda or
i its equivalent of other ammonia.

Does South Carolina Need
Her Cotton Mills?
PREEMINENTLY an agricultural state, from its settlement by hardy colonists in the latter part of the sev
enteenth century, South Carolina today cannot be so regarded. A remarkable change has taken place
during the last ^ years.
-— -y South Carolina has definitely turned its face toward industry. The value of manufactured products last
year'was two and a half times that of its nineteen principal crops, and almost four times the value of its cot
ton and cottonseed combined.
The pay of workers in its industries was twenty-two million dollars more than the value of cotton and cot
tonseed.
Cdtton manufacturing is by far the largest of these industries. It furnishes employment and support to
a fifth of the white population of the state.
Last year this industry sold its products for $238,281,167. Of this amount the larger part (approximately
three-fourths) went to its operatives and to cotton farmers.
The part borne by the textile industry in sharing the tax burden of the state is worth the consideration
of citizens. The textile industry of South Carolina is a good citizen, meeting its public obligations promptly;
To keep the leadership in the industry which the state has achieved, to offer increased opportunities to
the people who work in the mills, and to enable business interests to continue enjoying the benefits from such
an industry, South Carolina should take warning from those unfortunate manufacturing states where indus
try has been torn by dissension and disrupted by ruinous legislation.
If South-Carolina believes the textile industry worthwhile, she should look upon it as her own—as some
thing to be encouraged to grow and expand. i ‘
Harmony, confidence, mutual understanding and good-will constitute the foundation upon which* the
industry has developed, and upon this foundation rests its hope to continue. ;
