TERRACING WILL SAVE IT i Laying Off Terraces on the Slopes and Growing Winter Cover Crops Will Save Millions to South Carolina Farmers? H llluide Erosion Especial ly Costly In Piedmont Section of i State. South Carolina fur mora, and espe dully thoso in the hilly Piedmont suc tion, noed to terrace their lands to keep the soil from being washed awuy by erosion, which In a wearing away caused by wind and rain. The ero sion caused by rain water washes thousands of tons of soil annually from the lands of this state, with a consequent loss of fertility. Naturo'a mathScf of preventing erosion Is to" keep the soil covored with trees, leaves, ^ and grasB. Man's method is to terrace and grow winter cover crops. A terrace Is a ridge of soil thrown up In such a manner as to provent water froin flowing rapidly down a hillside or slope. Only steep or rolling lands need terracing. Use a leveling instrument In run ning lines for terraces. One can be had for frora $12 to $25 and can be used for many other kinds of work on the farm. It in necessary also to have a "hillside" plow, so that the dirt can be thrown always down hill. After determining on the line of the terrace, by the use of the leveling in strument. begin on that lino and throw the first furrow up hill. Going above it, using a hillside plow, throw the i*ext furrow down hill. Throw each succeeding furrow down hill until the proper distanoe lias been covered to get an elevation of about throo feet. ThiR system, having the terraces about three feet high and vertical, will give what is known as the level bench terrace, the land between' any two terraces becoming a level bench with no fall in any direction after a few years' cultivation. The level bench terrace is best suited to most of the farms in Piedmont South Carolina. The strongest and highest terraces should be located, an a rule, near the upper edge of the hillside field, be cause if the top terrace breaks it is well nigh impossible to prevent the terraces below from being swept sway. Run a terrace or ditrh at the upper edge of the field to care for the sur plus water which may come from an adjoining field, ? pasture or woodland. Such surplus water often proves too much for any system of terraces to control. Crossing terffcees with teams, plows or wagons will form depressions that will allow water to break over and start gullies, which weaken and de stroy a terrace. Avoid this by leav ing at the end of the field a sodded slope to be used as a road to get from one terrace bench to another. EXTENSION DIVISION, Clemson Agricultural College. HOME-MIXED FERTILIZER Farmers Can Save From Three to Five Dollars Per Ton by Mix ing Materials at Home Farmers can save from three to five dollars a ton by mixing their fer tilisers at home. Three other advan tages of home-mixed fertilizers are stated as follows by Clemson College authorities r 1. It is possible to know definitely from what sources the ammonia in your fertillizer is derived. 2. It is possible to prepare for each crop the special grade of fertilizer best suited to It. 3. There is a saving ip freight hauling, and distributing, by not hav ing to handle a lot of "filler" that is put In ready-mtxed fertilizer. Farmers can get Circular 10, "Home Mixing of Fertilizers", by writ ing to the Extension Division, Clem son College. U8E WILT RE8I8TANT 8EE?.

The moh>t typo la u moat sorioua disease, growing rapidly. It soon closes the eyolids, which swell to an enormous size, blinds tho fowl, and causes It to waste away and die When sorehead appears, it is not necessary to isolate tho diseased fowls frotn the flock Look for moldy litter or food and if it is found replace it with fresh. Check the disease by color ing the drinking water pink with a few crystals of permanganate of pot ash. and pp.int tho face and comb of tho apparently well chickens with equal parts of creolin and water, or a strong purple solution of pernmngan ate of npotaBh.

The fowls that have the wafts should bo caught and the crust of each wart removed. The tissue un derneath is red. Dip a clean father In one of the remedies named below and touch the red tissues * with the liquid. Next morning the treated wart will have a black scab over it, which dries and falls off in three or four days. A week later one cannot de tect where the wart was. In treating the moist variety, it is necessary to drop the remedy into the eye, nostrils, or whatever organ Is at tacked. This seems cruel, but It saves the fowl. The remedy the wrltor prefers Is pure, undiluted creoltn- We have not lost a chicken from sorehead since using this remedy. It will eradicate the diseaso trom the eye and. if used in time, will save the sight. Other good remedies are iodine, cresol or similar disinfectant, zenoleum. all used undiluted; purple solution of per: manganate of potash, liquid shoe pol ish (black), and solution of copperas (as much rs will lie on a 25-cent piece, dissolved in a cup of water).

I Extension Poul/rv Husbandman, | Clenison Agricultural College, j A TREE OF DOUBLE VALUE South Carolina Farmers Urged to Plant Peoan For Its Shade as Well as it's Fruit. I have l*?fore me pecan nuts of the 1915 crop that were grown in the Coastal section of South' Carolina and some others that were produced in the extreme northwestern corner of the state at an elevation of 900 feet. These nuts, representing one of our best varieties, the Stuart, are suffi cient evidence that the pecan will thrive in practically every locality in South Carolina, from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the sea shoro. Each of our farm Homes should be surrbunrfed by nut-bearing trees rath er than by other trees of less beauty and of no economic value. We pay high prices for small, Inferior nuts when about our very doors can be grown . the choicest sorts. Further more, there are large possibilities in the production of pecans for commer cial purposes. Standard varieties sel dom sell for less than 30 cents a pound, yet there is a profit in growing pecans at 10 cents a pound. A poc?vn orchard of good varieties gives pleas ure as well as profit and la to any farm or suburban home a permanent and valuable asset. The most important point In the successful establishment of a pecan orchard Is to use vigorous trees o I good varieties. Varieties recommend ed for South Carolina are Stuart, Schley, Success, Van Deman, Frot scher, Pabst, and Money-Maker. Set the trees cdVefully in large deep holes about GO feet apart each way. Give them as much care and attention as is given your most profitable farm crop and you will not be disappointed in the results/ A neglected pecan tree will yield no more profitable returns than will any other neglected crop or fruit tree. It is well to plant the orchards to garden or field crops, driving stakes beside the trees to prevent them from being bruised in cultivating. Intensive cultivation and fertilising of the crops between the rows of trees will usually be sufficient to keep the pecans grow ing thriftily. A few nuts may be expected from each tree In three yekrs after trans planting and the amount will increase eaeh year. By the tenth year the trees should be yielding profitable crops. Xa fact. If * peoan orchard is cared for preperly it will come into profit able bearing In about the suae length ?(-time as will an apple orchard. F. JT.
