I fin TOO EXPENSIVE p \ FOR FERTILIZER in 7 r II] i ' It is beyond all reasoning or po-;| siblc explanation how any intelligent r man can advocate the u.;e of cotton,al I seed meal, or any o her valuable P1 I feeding stuff, as a fertilizer direct to'si J the soil. But this is no more absurd or inexplicable than the idea which seem. . ^ to prevail iji certain official circles in J Washington what the price of cotton j seed meal'should be fixed 011 its fer-l ij tilizcr value, or that the price should J be made less than its relative 'eedingjhc value in order that the farmers mav D( r have the use of cottonseed meal as a w \ fertilizer. aI k! When the stockmen of America j tr put their buying and use of foods on a i / | 1 rational basis, as they arc rapidly . 1 learning to do, cottonseed meal can th | never again be economically used a a r' j .source of nitrogen in commercial f-> ? tiMzers. It has a feeding value and ' . also a fertilizer value, and its feeding m value will always be higher than its w fertilizer value, for its feding value ^ F ' , > i 1 can be obtained without destroying ?J [ !more than a comparatively small part,31 li, of its fertilizer value. jn< g! According to the testimony of thejh* jf j cattle which have eaten cottonseed jai imeal, and by the way cottonseed meal ^ 'and siliage make cheaper beef than | any other ration in use, $75 a ton for js* J what is called 8 per cent meal, about, 41 per cent of protein, is not higher !p: considering its feed value, than corn|S1 Sat $1.20 a bushel. Moreover at present prices cf plant fopds, such a ton of cottonseed meal ri is worth around $40 for fertilizer. If t( ^ one-half of this is saved when the *? k meal is fed, and three-fourths of its' ^ fertilizer value can be saved if the manure be carefully handled, we have ^ at least a $20 a ton, and often a $30 t a ton reason why cottonseed meal V should not be used as a direct ferI | tilizer. This being the case, it is about 1 j trie umit 01 aDsurcnty to try to torce t ' .the price of cottonseed meal down to j a level of its ])lant food or fertilizer t value especially as it is most excellent ] cattle feed. There is a pressing need ( for its high protein content and it ] ^ has been proved by the xeperiment i ? stations that siliage and cottonseed.1 meal produce the cheapest beef. ^ ? = MOONSHINE AIRPLANE J w IS NEXT NUT TO CRACK ( I Columbia, S.

Much tferest was taken in this part of the AlllUil uctciuac UL II1C liltl lliab blic ork of seven official graders in this [ate is already attracting wide otice. Special interest centered in the xhibit of varieties recommended for oil weevil conditionsv in connection rith the display of cotton damaged y the boll weevil in one of the counts of this state this year. This dislay showed specimen stalks from le 1918 crop yielding 1790 pounds er acre side by side with the 1919 rop on the same land injured by oil weevils, and yielding only 183 ounds per aci'e. The varitie3 recmmended to help reduce this dam- /ged because of the qualities of early ruiting and early maturing were hown to be Cleveland and Cook for ind not infested with wilt; Dixie 'riumph, Dixie and Covington Toole or wilt land; and Webber 49 and Vebber 82 for long staple varitie. Specimen stalks of "run out" coton showing the necessity of seed seection made an interesting and intructive inhibit; and related to that /as the exhibit showing the dangers if the mixing of varities at the gins ,nd the impportance of keeping cot- ? on seed from gin mixing. Much attention was attracted also o the specimens of cotton injured ;y anthracnose. adisease which :auses a oss of $1,000,000 a year to South CaroKna farmers. Thoee in :harge of the booth were kept busy lay after day answering questions ind giving information about how ;o fight these ddiseases as well as ibout the various other phases of ;he work which the exhibit was made ;o show. v >' * ! THE AGENT WHO VfAS FOUND WAITING In a talk to the soldiers at the Waller Reed hospital in Washington, Col>nel R. G. Cholnieley-Jones, director >f the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, jutlined the many methods by which soldiers and sailors insurance pol:* :ies with the Government, have been broadened and strengthened, and brought more around to the methods which^ furnish every kind of insurance and protection that is desired by a person taking out a policy. After describing the bettered con- ' * ditions affecting this fine piece of work in behalf of^the boys who answered the call, the Director said that insurance officials and the men in the insurance profession, had been among the most loyal of all supporters of the Government in war risk matters. There are, however, some t agents who have urged men to drop , their Government insurance and take out insurance in private concerns. "I feel confident," commented the Director, 'that in sufch cases where exservice men have been advised in such a way as to allow them to lose :heir Government insurance, that ;here will be at least one man in the vorld whom the ex-service men will ltterly despise, and distrust, and that rill be the unscrupulous agent who * n time of test was found wanting." ^ killing of Meadow Larks to Be " Permitted in South Carolina The Secretary of Agricultural has ;sued an order permitting the killing f meadow larks in South Carolina by ersons owning or leasing farm land n which sprouting corn and oats are ein ggrown, and also by members of lch person's family,, and by his bona de employees.
