POULTRY WORK AT WINTHROP.

tension ?f Efficiency,
Hock Hill, Feb. 6.-During 1914
there was poultry work in four of
tbe organized counties by home dem
onstration agents of Winthrop Col
lege. Tills work will be taken up in
i a large number of the counties this
year. A limited number of the home
demonstrators will specialize on this
feature of the work. lt is the pur
pose to have these demonstrators
grade and standardize the eggs and
chickens for sale. Winthrop College
also wants them to be able to show
communities how to ship eggs by
parcel post, using the most modern
containers for such purpose. Two of
the counties last year had demonstra
tions in sbinping hy parcel post.
The Winthrop College poultry
plant has grown rapidly, and new
buildings and fences cover a large
portion of the 10-acre grove in which
it is located. Pure bred barred
rocks, buff and white Orpingtons and
white leghorns are kept. The eggs
are delivered to the college dining
hall, and those from best matings
are sold to the public for hatching.
Twelve hundred eggs were placed in
Hie incubators February l. Many
visitors from several part? of Hie
State have been in to inspect the
plant. The chickens are fed grain
grown here and cotton seed meal.
Tue result of feeding cotton seed
meal to chickens will he watched by
many chicken growers over the
State.
Another service this plant renders
is to furnish, along with the dairy
and other farm activities, a labora
tory for practical work for the 310
students who take agriculture each
year.
Twenty new colony houses are
now being built at the Winthrop
plant, preparatory for handling the
birds as they outgrow the brooder
houses.

PROHIBITS RXPORT OF POTASH. I
Action of th? German Government
Will Bo Felt in S. Curol?uu.
Charleston, Feb. 4.-Notice that lt
will be impossible to Import any
more potash from Germany was re
ceived yesterday by officials of the
Combahee Fertilizer Company here
from A. Vogel, representative general
for the German Potash Syndicate in
the United States and Canada. The
notice states that the German gov
ernment has absolutely prohibited
the exportation of all potash salts,
and as the woild's supply of this
material has come from that country
there Ls now no source of supply for
A me rica n m a n u f nc t u rers.
The action of the German govern
ment will he felt as strongly in Char
leston as in any other place in this
country owing to this city's large
number of plants for the manufac
ture of fertilizer. According to reli
able information, however, the shut
ting off of the potash supply will not
result in the shutting down of any of
the local plants, as the management
of the respective factories showed
foresight hy getting a large supply
early in the season.
Controlled hy a Syndicate.
The potash industry is controlled
by the German Kali Syndicate, bet
ter known in America as the German
Potash Syndicate,. No other source
of getting this indispensable mate
rial for fertilizer has been discovered,
and no substitute for the natural pot
ash salts has been discovered in spite
of extensive research work. This
work was started immediately after
the declaration of war in Europe,
because American manufacturers re
alized that it was very likely that
Germany could not furnish the ma
terial.
The supply has been very small
since the beginning of the war, ac
cording to W. W. Molloy, general
manager of the Comhahee Fertilizer
Company. Shipments have been re
ceived, however, he said, all of the
material being exported from Rot- !
terdam.
Potash salts are an essential in- I
gredient of fertilizer for use on the
lands of this part of the United
States, according to Mr. Molloy. Dif
ferent grades of fertilizer require
different grades of the potash salts,
jin thc Sign grade fertilizers, suenas
i are used on tobacco lands, a conceit- J
