GADSDEN SPEAKS Has Been to Europe to Study tao Emigrant at Home-Discusses Con ditions, Prospects and Need of Ag ricultural Settlers-His Suggested Colonization Plan. At the annual meeting of the Stale Press association at the Isle of Palms Mr. P. H." Gadsden, president of the Charleston Consolidated company, who had been sent by Mayor Rhett to visit European countries and there to make an investigation into immi gration conditions, was called upon for an address. Mr. Gadsden had cl ready made a report to Mayor Rhett, which was published in he Charles ton papers, but was not given much publicity throughout the State and the members of thc State Press As sociation were very much pleased al his broadly intelligent discussion of the situation. He told of the need of labor, the need of immigration, tho need of more liberal labor laws and finally of a population which will buv and build up farm lands, which arc now being bought very largely by ne groes. He spoke in \ ?rt as follows: "While the history of the immi gration movement in this State is fairly well known to you all, a brief review of it at this time will serve a useful purpose. The question of immigration was first brought to the attention of the public of this State by Mr. D. C. Heyward, then a can didate for governor; subsequently, in Januarj', 1904, Gov. Hey wa rd, in his annual message to thc general as sembly, developed his ideas as to immigration. "By reference to that message ir will be seen that the recommendation o? thc governor to organize an immi gration bureau in this State was based almost entirely upon tho id?a that such a bureau when established cvas to devote itself to the introduc tion into thc State of home-seekers ?nd settlers Following the recom mendation of the governor the gener al assembly passed an act which was approved on Feb. 3, 1904, cstablsh ing a department of immigration and Providing for thc appointment of a :ommissioner. 'That with regard to igricultura] interests under this act, t shall be the duty of the coramis ?ioner to secure those immigrants vho desire to purchase homes, be some citzens of this State and build ip agricultural interests.' "The original purpose, therefore. >f the establishment of a bureau of mmigration in this State, and t'ie )rimary ono, was to encourage homc ;eekers and settlers, and with that end n view the bureau commenced its ?perations and succeeded in introduc ng in different parts of the State mite a number of Scotch and other inmigrants who became citizens 3? he land. This process was necessarily i slow one. Just at this time the mpply of labor in the cotton mills ox he State became so scarce that the Cotton Mill association of the State ippointed a committee to supplement ?uch supply by immigration from ibroad and approached the com nisioner of immigration with an offer o supply the necessary funds to pre >ay the passage of cotton mill opera ive? that were needed in the State. "Realizing thc.t the introduction >f home-seeers and settlers, while a ?atural and proper line, was neces larily a slow one and appreciating bat by the assistance of the-eotton mills a large number of immigrants ?ould be introduced into the State at >ne time, the commissioner accept id the offer of the cotton mills and vent abroad for this purpose." Here Mr. Gadsden described the rips of the Wittekind and the re lults that came from them. , Why We Need Imm^ation. "It is for this particular reason hat I am very glad of the opoprtua ty to address you today. I came tack from Europe more impressed han ever with the importance to South Carolina and the South of im migration. It was inevitable, in any reat economic question as this, thar, here should be disappointments and ven partial failure, but it has been he experience of thc world that the ound and sane principles under]y ng a movement such as this are dis overed and followed up to ultimate access. "There has been no change in the riginal purpose of the bureau or in he discussion of thc subject of ira ligration. It was originally pro acted to provide home-seekers and ettlers. It was temporarily divcrt d in the hope of speedily supplying elp to our textiie interests. In my Lidgment every dollar which has een spent up to this time on the in roduction of immigrants into this tate has been a good investment. In o other way could the subject have een brought to public attention, and a no other way could a subject of bis magnitude, which promises so nich for the future of the South, ave been recognized by the public s one of its great economic ques ions. "Our farms have been largely lawn upon for white labor by the otton mills and other industries at be expense of the agricultural in cests of the State. One of the rs ults of this has been, as is shown y the United States census, that che umbel- of negro farmers and land olders in this State has increased j a very considerable percentage. After discussing thc various needs f the State for additional labor, fr. Gadsden closed as follows: "I am glad to see that this ques lon had been brought up in the inited States court and that his hon r, Judge Brawley, had decided that ie act of South Carolina on this abject was unconstitutional What would like to sec, however, is not ie act should be nullified by the Durts, but that at the coming session f the legislature, the general ?ssem ly of South Carolina should repeal neb act, thereby authoritively de laring thc public policy of this State n this subject "You can accept-it without rescva ion that labor laws framed for an in erior colored labor can not and will ot bc acceptable to the liberty-lov ig and liberty-seeking white mau.

The fact has been well established that for fhe thorough extermination of the Insect pests that Infest our cultivated trees and plants there is nothing that equals the fumigation wita hydrocyanic acid gas. This ls particularly true of those Insects that Infest our greenhouses. Here spraying with the ordinary fungicide and insecticide mixtures ls not available, because of the injury to the appearance of ornamental plants and to the paint on these structures. Fumigation then be comes the only available and efficient remedy. This is also true in the case of the nurserymen who Wish to avoid the risk of sending out infected stock, even when they are reasonably sure that their stock ls not infested. In fact, in many States the law now re quires that all nursery stock shall be fumigated before shipment. While the great expense of tents, etc., may operate In many instances against efforts at fumigation in the orchard, there ls no doubt that even there the complete eradication of the pests would make the process cheap, as compared with the partial destruc tion of the trees by spraying, since one fumigation would certainly last for the season at least. But in the case of the florist and the nurseryman, fumigation ls really the only effective remedy. Hence lt becomes necessary for them to study the methods and materials used in order to learn the most economical and practical way of doing the work. The usual method has been to de velop hydrocyanic gas by dropping cyanide of potash Into sulphuric acid in a closed house. But lately there has been an effort made to show that cyanide of potash may be more eco nomically replaced by the cyanide of sodium. When a nurseryman ls told that 100 kilograms of cyanide of sodium will produce as much hydro cyanic gas as 132 kilograms of cyan ide of potash, he is apt to at once jump at the conclusion that the sodium cyanide can be used as a cheap substitute for the potassium salt. But a test will prove that the actual amount of the gas liberated ls less than the amount of gas re leased by the potassium cyanide, be cause when the sodium salt Is treated with sulphuric acid, a residue forms consisting partly of solidified sul phate of soda and partly of unde composed cyanide of soda. On the other hand, the residue left from the use of potassium cyanide is not a solidified mass of useless material, but crumbles to a powder. This powder is not a valueless arti cle to the cultivator, like the sodium sulphate, but is the potassium sul phate that commands a high price as a fertilizer. This fact that the res idue from the potash salt ls a valua ble fertilizer will of Itself do away with all claims made for the superior economy of the sodium cyanide, even if the claims for a larger production of gas had to be granted, for the resi due resulting from the use of the sodium cyanide ls a perfectly worth less article to the cultivator, while the residue from the potash salt ls sulphate of potassium In a readily available-form that would command on the market over $2.50 per 100 pounds as a fertilizer. From this we see how Important it is for the grow er to study all the actual facts In connection with the process.-Pro fessor W. F. Massey. Sorghum Hay. There have been thousands of dol lars spent trying to grow timothy, blue grass, red clover and other hay grasses in the Southern States, which are not indigenous to this section and which almost Invariably fail to prove profitable; while sorghum, which is at home in this climate and which so far as I know has never made a failure when given half a chance, has been neglected as a hay crop. It seems to be weakness in human nature to take chances on some speculation rather than depend on natural conditions. This is rio less true of the cotton future dealer, the purchaser- of a gold brick or a life Insurance policy. It is the hope of getting something for nothing In each case that tempts the Investor. He is not satisfied to accept the compara tively small profit, though lt be ever so sure, on his every-day plodding occupation, but hopes by investing a dollar In cotton futures, life insur ance or gold brick to take out a for tune. This same idea controls many of us in trying new crops. We are not satisfied with four tons sorghum hay per acre, but 6pend our good money for seed of some fakir's "bil lion dollar grass" which is claimed to make several times as much. Next to cotton, sorghum is un doubtedly the best single crop grown in tho Southern States. I do not advocate a one-crop system to the exclusion of other crops. I think for What Did He Mean?

'hat Are Helpful to wer and'Stockman, various reasons t'aat a variety ls best, but if I bad to take choice of all feed crops and. choose one crop out of the lot, that crop would be sorghum. In the first place, it is almost sure. No extreme of rain or drouth ever cuts it off entirely. It will wait for a rain In^ time .of drouth and hold on through a continued rainy spell for dry weather. Then it is a palatable, nutritious hay which is relished by horses, mules, cows and hogs. A goo'd quality of sorghum bay is aa good as any hay in the world with the possible exception of alfalfa, cow peas and other legumes. Then again it is easily grown and comparatively easy to cure.

If broadcast from two to four bushels seed per acre. When planted in rows this hay may be cut with corn-binder and put at once into shock to cure.

While on our visit to Gwlnnett County, Mrs. Miller showed us her Incubator, chicken yard and chick ens. We often see all the "para phernalia," but not so often such a high per cent, of thrifty chickens as the output. Years ago we were struck by reading in one of Mrs. Browning's poems that lt took "in telligence to clean a pig-sty." We are ?ure it takes diligent intelligence to make a success of the poultry busi ness. Mrs. Miller has clearly shown us how on? can succeed without go ing to great expense-Just using care And work to do all the necessary de tails at the right time' and in the right way. She has two Incubators running in. a back room In her house. Out of 300 eggs she hatched 240 chicks and had lost only one of them. She never allows her incuba tors to be idle cr lose the proper temperature. She had a lot hatching and eggs to refill when the little chicks should be'taken out. She had converted an old barn into a chicken house and put yards and runs adja cent. She bad some brooders or dered, but as they had not come, she? improvised one out of an old stove a,nd some old quilts. Mr. Miller said he was pressed into service and all the changes made in the barns and wire for yards, etc., had not C03t over $25.50. Everything had been wbi?e washed by using a spray pump in stead of a brush. For cleanliness and effectiveness it was the best chicken plant we have ever seen. She had scattered some wheat chaff over the brooder house floor, and the little fellows, chirping and scratch ing busily for their food, was a pic ture of interest that we will never forget. Anyone can succeed raising chickens who can arouse enthusiasm enough in the business to perform all the necessary work and do it ex actly at the right time and in the ab solute cleanly way.-Southern Culti vator. Fertilizer For Irish Potatoes. A good fertilizer for Irish potatoes would be one containing two or three per cent, of nitrogen, four t six per ?ent. of available phosphoric acid seven to ten per cent, of sulphate of potash. Muriate of potash should not be used on Irish potatoes as it has a tendency to make them slick when cooked and not "mealy," the quality, of course, most desirable in an Irish potato and one which com mends it especially to the housewife. You can buy nitrate of potash or cot ton-seed meal, acid phosphate and potash and make your own mixture just, as well as to use some of the preparations now on the market, and in fact, you should be able to make your own mixture for considerably less than you can purchase the ready mixed fertilizer containing the deslr ?bl?. percentages of plant food. A fertilizer for Irish potatoes may be applied underneath the drill to good advantage before seeding the pota toes. The roots will then quickly reach lt and the plant obtain an abundant supply of available plant food during the early stages of its growth.-Professor Soule. Green Food Needed.
