M POTASH
INJURY.
Trouble Traced to Trona Potash.
Qemson College, July 19?Clem na
College authorities have investigated
the potash situation which has
given trouble in the Pee Dee section,
ma! have traced the matter to it!
vce in the use of Trona Potash
vddch contains impurities injurious
t??rops.
Mr. Bright Williamson, a promi
mart banker and farmer of Darling
flab, and John M. Napier, Count}
Jgent of Darlington County fount
I'teuLle with potash in that count;
cntiy and reported the matter t<
Clestson College. Prof. C. P. Black
voQ, Agronomist, and Mr. J. L
aw. Plant Pathologist, went imme
dhfcriy to Darlington and Fl0renc<
Cnantiea where they met Dr. W. W
(Braer, Chief of the Office of Tobac
mm and Plant Nutrition Investigation;
C?rmittee. The three studied th<
sfixiation in tfre fields of Darlington
Wbrence, and Dillon Counties.
They agreed that the very errati<
masons have caused poor crop con
dQgras in parts of Florence Count;
HULn sumo nave cixvucvudij ?vma
lfated to potash. In Darlingior
tihnty, however, where Trona Pot
oft from Searl's Lake, California
fotehased thru a Charleston broker
wm used very serious injuries were
dfcerved on a number of farms.
'3he CIem son and Government ex
nts were convinced from field exonoations
that this Trona Potast
responsible for the trouble. Thouwmmds
of acres of crops in Darlingtor
tmsre been destroyed.

the soils of the Coastal Plains sec- ipli

legro fanning sections concerning
m insect which they claimed was
eating up their corn.' Upon' visitng
the section it was found that
:hinch bugs were really doing prety
serious damage and gave promse
of very serious damage in the
lear future if something was net
lone to check ' their progress. The
jug was found to be in practically
ill the corn of that section. In or
ler to reach all the farmers in tne
nindmum of time a meeting was
scheduled for the next day at moon.
This meeting was held in one of the
leavily infested pieces of -com. A>out
twenty interested negro farm3T3
assembled promptly at the meetng
hour and a talk was made to
;hem instuctmg them in chinch bug
ighting. Mr. Foster assisted in the
neeting.
This is the first outbreak of chinch
)ugs that has ever occurred in this
lection. That accounts for the alarm
t spread. It is found that after a
section has suffered from the ravages
of this pest once and instruction
s given regarding control measures
:hat that particular section is never
lysterical over chinch bugs again.
Phey find that by burning hedges
tnd ditches off in the winter and
nakihg proper disposition of the inJested
stubble lands as soon as barresting
is over that the pest can be
effectively controlled.
