injurious to crops.
Bright Williamson, a promibanker
and farmer of Darlingand
John M. Napier, county
of Darlington county, found i
e with potash in that county
Jy and reported the matter to
iJlemson College. Prof. C. f. BiacKvell,
agronomist, and Mr. J. L. Seal,
ilant pathologist, went immediately
o Darlington and Florence counties
There they met Dr. W. W. Garner,
hief of tlie Office of Tobacco andj
I'laot Nutrition Investigations, rne
hree studied the situation Y in the
ields of Darlington, Florence and
)illon counties.
They agreed that the very erratic
easons have caused poor crop condiions
in- parts of Florence county
rhich some have erroneously attriuted
to potash. In Darlington
county, However, wnere iron? pouwu
from Searl Lake, California, pur chased
through a Charleston broker,
was used, very serious injuries were
observed on * number of farms.
The Clemson and Government ex perts
were convinced from field ex aminations
that this Trona potash is
^responsible for the trouble. Thous
anas ox acres uj. vivya m fninu^vii
have been destroyed.
Other sources of American potash
have given good results so far as investigations
show. Since nearly all
the soils of the Coastal Plains section
of the State are in need of potash, it
would be unfortunate to have all potash
indiscriminately condemned
?kmg this one source.

will be begun at once at

sible information on the effect of
this material on plant growth. Further
study will be made in Darlington
fields to assist farmers in securing
data upon which to base claims
for damages. These investigations j
will be reported as soon as the data!
ta available. The legal aspects of the,
case will be considered by the Board
of Fertilizer Control. 1
There has probably been injury to
crops from this same source in other
sections of the state, and if farmers
think they have this trouble they
should consult their county agents,
all of whom have been posted about
the matter.
Late in June I>irector H. W.
Barre, of the S. C. Experiment Station
attended a potato conference on
Long Island to examine tests of ail
sources of domestic potash. Trona
potash showed marked injury to potato
plants, and the conference developed
the fact that similar trouble
was being experienced in North Carolina
with cotton, tobacco and com.
Similar trouble seems to have been
experienced in- several localities along
the Atlantic coast.
Tor the guidance of farmers Prof.
Blackwell gives the field symptoms
as follows. In the case of cotton and
corn germination is retarded or prevented.
Soon after plants which do
germinate are above gound, they
turn white or yeHow and die. Tobacco
when transplanted turns light
and soon dies. The roots are found
to be undeveloped and many dead.
The trouble is worse where tobacco
beds have been knocked down, as this
brings the roots in closer contact
with the poisonous substances. With
all crdps the trouble is worse on light
sandy soils than on heavier soils.

AMERICA READY TO B^fclN
TRADE WITH GERMANY
Washington, July 12.?Trade between
the United States and Germany
will be resumed immediately,
Acting Secretary Polk, of the state
department, announced today.
AH arrangements for removing restrictions
on trading with Germany
have been completed so far as the
American government is concerned, "
Vance McCormick, chairman of the =
war trade board, said today. Action
by the supreme economic council, in
session today at Paris in lifting the
blockade, alone is awaited, Mr. Mc- a
Cormick added. f p
Mr. McCormick, who returned j,
from Paris with President Wilson, ai
said there would be virtually com- 0
plete freedom of trade, subject to ^
the limit xxf credits which Germany n
might be able to establish. Dyes and w
certain other commodities will be j?
excepted, however, as under 'the i,
terms of the peace treaty tradi in g
these is to be controlled by the rep- ti
aration commission.
Mr. Polk said blanket licenses l
would be issued, but that dyes,
j chemicals and potash would be ex- d
' a~J in__j i j ]_ _ j_i

commodities will be exercised by the si
reparation commission under the -w
terms of the peace treaty. A formal tl
announcement regarding resumption cj
of trade relations was promised 01
within forty-eight hours.
Though trade and communication ai
will be permitted, Secretary Polk al
emphasized that the United States ai
is still in war with Germany and is
will be until this country ratifies
the peace treaty. The trading with f<
the enemy act is still in force, but ir
the blanket licenses wall permit pj
trade and communication under it. di
ft
The orders allowing the resumption
of trade were decided upon last ai
night at a conference between state in
department officials. Th6 decision is tl
in line with the view of President q
Wlson, expressed yesterday, that
trade could be re-opened as soon as D
the Germans ratified the peace treaty ri
without waiting on formal ratifica- tl
tion by this country. tc
