f COTTON ON POOR LAND? Clemson College, April 10.?Experinents conducted by the Agronomy Division of Clemson College, as well ? the experience of many practical armers, go to show that poor soils rill give a late crop of cotton. A a,te crop of cotton means no cotton ,t all in the presence of the boll reevil. It seems unadvisable, thereore, where there was a heavy infesition of boll weevil last year, to plant otton at all this year on very thin ind, unless generous applications ol irtilizer are used. Consequently nyone finding it necessary plant ? - " ?- nlont nnlv fuilull Oil Llllll laiiu o?u uiu |/w> ? uch an acreage as can be well ferilized and well cultivated. As a general rule, the agronomists f Clemson College think, it will be etter to plant such land in other rops rather than cotton and to make n effort this year to plow under a rop ef velvet beans, cowpeas, or >me other leguminous crop in order > improve this land for cotton next ear, as it will probably never pay to lise cotton on yery thin land under all weevil conditions. If no control Leasures are used, the boll weevil is ither certain to get the crop, and on ,nd that makes less than one-half tfe to the acre it doesn't pay to >ison with calcium arsenate any EtAPS TO CATCH THE FARMERS "Not only the constellations but the her 1,000 billion stars point to an ceeding prevalence of traps to catch e farmer in the many awkward oves which he will necessarily make his first conflict with the boll jevil. acking fixed rules to guide m against these pitfalls he will ove an easy prey to the wiles of the Lined diplomat.

One-fourth of the adults are incapacitated and bedridden. Only one in fifty of the population is nor! mal. j In the villages visited there are 1500 I orphans who should be removed immediately if they are to live. Even ir small villages the weekly death list includes ten children. In many vil lages all children have lost their hair I during the winter. I Several cases were so desperate j that the people resorted to eating of j human flesh which practice was sharply punished by the autnormes. Officials said that they are doing all they can to prevent it but the people/ lose their senses from hunger. At Mahmauehuk, visited family of fifteen persons a month ago. Now only three of the family remain. The dead include all the male members of the family. ' , All village inhabitants expressed concern about securing seed and grain for spring planting. Hope is expressed that the Armenian government would obtain seed particularly barley. The headman of the largest village said: "If we can secure seed we shall be on our feet by mid-summer. If we don't get seed we are doomed to death." JAQUITH. Mr. Wm. M. Gibbes, Jr., Treas., Palmetto National Bank. Columbia, S. C. ? i ? GRADES FOR TRUCK CROPS. .i ?-pvit- thp v,ienisuu ^ujiTfec, n.j/111 -i. . past eighteen months much time has been given by representatives of the U. S. Deartment of Agriculture, especially the markets 'division of the Clemson College Extension Service i and the county agents, to the study of | grades for all truck crops shipped oul i of South Carolina. Tentative grades were drawn up on eight or ten of the principal truck I crops in this state and these tentative grades were given wide circulation | among the growers of this state by the Extension Service. With these grades as a basis, for criticism and for further study grades have been arrived at that it is thought will fit South Carolina crops well. When these grades have been circulated and shippers have learned to apply them we should then be able to see South Carolina truck well on the way towards standardization, says F. L. Harkey, Agent in Marketing. At this time no shipper can afford to do less than ship standardized wen graded and well packed product tc market and expect any returns, i Grades for cabbages, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, peaches, and asparagus have been adopted and copies of the grades can be had by writing tc the county agent or to the Agent in Marketing, Clemson College, S.

THE NEW PIANO. / * j Word comes from London that Eni-j manuel Moor, who is a composer of i music, has invented a new kind of pianoforte that has a double keyboard and that is entirely practical. Ernest Newman, the celebrated critic, calls j ihe now piano an "epochmaking in- J i vontion" and declares that the f-ifoots I .produced with it are astonishing. ' The now, or upper, keyboard is fin- J . gored and played precisely as the j other is, but it sounds notes an oc-j tave above the notes of the usual j board, which greatly extends the j range of the pianist's execution. Bv-j j means of an octave "coupler." like j that so frequently applied to the organ, he can play octaves with one finger, and tenths with a finger on j each board with no more effort than j he uses in playing thirds on the ordinary piano. Moreover, by cluing- j j ing a button he can so change the j j mechanism that the niano gives forth j j the peculiar tinkling tones of the j ! eighteenth-century harpiseliord. j j though with more volume and bril- j ! liancv, and so can g?-i from the same j ! instrument the effects that were in- j tended by composers as far apart in time and musical development as I Scarlatti and Rachmaninoff. But after all the new piano will be valued oy musicians, not lor sucn j. curious contrivances! but for the way in which it simplifies the playing of some of the most difficult passages in music and at the same time makes it j possible for one pair of hands to proj duce a richness and a volume of tonethat have hitherto required two performers. Just what effect the new instrument will have on musical composition we must wait to see. One thing, however, seems likely:.when oc? i tave passages, instead of requiring on j the part of the pianist an exhibition ! of manual agility that opens the eye: j and the mouths of a concert audience ! can be played with one finger composers will not find so much pleasure in scoring them.
