Byers tonight shot and killed his stepson, Oliver G. Lanaham, in the Olympia Mill village. There had been ill feeling between the two men for some time. From what can be understood Lanahan went to see his mother this afternoon and while there he and Byera cot into a disnute. Bvers was ev ? o-- ?-r --idently ready for young Lanaham as he literally riddled his body with large shot. It is stated that as many as 80 of !the shot took effect in Lanaham's side. Lanaham was only about 21 years of age and has been engaged in carpenter work. Byers is a man of about 45 and does not appear to have done muoh of anything. He lived in the mill village, where the shooting occurred. Lanaham is said to have had a pistol on his person at the time of the killing. Byers has Seen in trouble before and the report is that he has been in jail in Spartanburg on the charge of ^having shot a friend. The feeling between Byers and his stepson has existed for some time and threats are said to have been "heard. Byers is in jail. V $100 Bemud, $100.

C 'd FERTILIZIN6THE CROP. a > j. The primary object in using fertilize j is to produce a larger yield of the cro that is to be immediately grown, or i :n already growing, on the land to whic It the fertilizer is to be applied. As a rul }s it contains from ten to sixteen per cen of more or less promptly available plar food. In other words, a commercial fe] r- tilizer- contains in every hundred pounc weight from 10 to 16 pounds of availabl phosphoric acid, either alone, or tha amount of phosphoric acid and potas combined, or of these two and nitroge combined, making in the latter case, whs is called a "complete" fertilizer. No? this 10 to 16 pounds in each 100 pounc ie of the fertilizer is supposed to be, an ;d should be, practically soluble and avai . able at once, or within a week or tw< d" for the use of the crop, say^ Virginia Carolina Fertilizer Almanac. The remaining portion of the fertilize S- or the 84 to 90?pounds in each 100 pound 1 is a mixture of insoluble phosphate an s? ! sulphate of lime, some sand, water, o: ganic matter and other things that ai necessarily incident to the manufactur and cannot be economically remove* They are of very little immediate vali ? ! to either the crop or the soil. i So when we apply a high-grade ferti : izer to the soil the object is to supp] i the plants with soluble plant food ar ; increase the yield of the cotton, grai: ! grass, or whatever the crop may be. I Incidentally, however, this fertilizer do* i help the land, because it induces a larg< j growth of stalk, roots and foliage of tl ; plants?or those parts that will be r ' turned to, and become part of the soi ' A dose of this fertilizer, for instanc i not only increases the yield of seed co i ton, but also the size of the stalk ! the foliage, hulls and other parts thi i go immediately back and form a part < the soil in the shape of humus (decay* vegetable matter).

I It would seem manifest, then. If v ' wish to increase the yield of com, cotto ; wheat, oats, grass, etc., that the fertiliz< ! should contain the three "elements" < ! plant food in the proportions that ai : best suited to the particular crop. Th ; is particularly true if the purpose is 1 1 use liberal amounts of fertilizer per acr J In such case the deficient supply, in tl ! natural soil, of any one or more of tl : three "valuable" elements (phosphor ! acid, nitrogen and potash) need not 1 | specially considered. 1 According to carefully conducted flel I experiments, conducted at many of tl | experiment stations, it has been four | that cotton requires a fertilizer that coi i tains about one part each of nitrogen ar ' potash and 3 1-3 parts of available phoi ! phoric acid.

So it has been found that corn, sugar 51 cane, sorghum, grasses and other crops ,A ' belonging to the grass family respond a ? best to a fertilizer that shall contain 10 o k parts of phosphoric acid, 5 parts of nitro- " " gen and 2 parts of potash? or a 10?6?2 fertilizer. The following formulas are in precisely the same proportions, only < _ they are of lower grade, and would give practically the same results only when a u correspondingly larger application shall tf be made per acre?viz., 9?4.50?1.80;* or X 8-4.00-1.60; or 7-8.50?1.40, and so on. Of ' course, these lower grades can be sold - at lower prices than the -high grades; i ,, but, as a rule, the farmer will find it 1 .' more economical to buy the high grades, d both on account Of their cheaper price , per "unit" and also the saving of freight the latter being precisely the same, per ton. for both high and lo./ grades. APPLYING FERTILIZER WHEN r, PLANTING, s, l(i While it is certainly true, in our exr perien.ce, that the greater part of the fer-? tilizer should be applied about two weeks e, before the crop is to be planted, well a! mixed in the soil of the bedding furrow i? and bedded on. there are circumstances that would justify a farmer in making 1- one or more lntercuitural applications, [y including one^at the actual date of planttd ing. The following are such circum3tan- p n, ces: D (1) When a farmer has not been able ?s to secure the whole amount of his ft-r\r tilizers before planting time, le (2) When he concludes, after his cron has toer. nlanted and Is errowine. that [1. he did not buy and apply as much as he | e, should have done before planting, t- (3) When the yellowish green color and = s, want of vigor in the appearance of the it plants indicate that more nitrogen is 3f needed by the crop. f id We befieve it may be safely accepted iy as a general rule that a small portion e- of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer should be le applied with, or near the seed, at the af time of planting. The effect of this small application is to supply the young plants re with available food during the first stage n, of their growth, inducing prompt and er vigorous development. For this purpose ^ 3f 40 to 50 pounds per acre may be applied re of the same fertilizer that had been bedis ded on two weeks before planting, to A second application of high-grade fere. tllizers may be made at the second or le third plowing of cotton, or at six or eight le inches height of the plants up to 18 inchIc es. or the middle to last of May, and the >e middle to last of June. The intercultural applications may be Id made in the siding furrow, or the ferie tillzer may be strewn along in the middles id ahead of the plow or cultivator. There i- is no need to fear that the plants will I id not get the benefit of a high-grade fer3 tilizer if put anyhere, on or between the et rows. June 26th is the latest date at t. which the writer has ever applied fer- u jf tilizer in this way to either corn or cotr, ton, although there is little reason to r. doubt that even later applications would 0; benefit the crop; but probably not enough is to pay the cost of the fertilizer.
