In South Caro tin* Expected by Food Administra tion to Grow Bread Crop* ? Rye I fulled to South Carolina Soil. Columbia.- ? With the preaent ur gent demand for broad crops. It be oomes the duty of nil patriotic farm am of South Carolina to product* dur ing the coming year all the bread crop* possible, says the Food Admin istration. Not only 1h the Food Ad ministration urging a larger acreage In wheat, but It Is pointed out that rye should likewise be planted on a larger scale than ever before. U Is token for granted that South Caro lina farmers hare realised! generally speaking the neceaslty of making their lands produce food crops, and that, therefore, they will plant at least enough wheat to provide for them Mtvee, and whererer possible, to help All up the nation'e wheat bin. In pla*" rye aleo, the farmer has sin oppo) . ,i!)ity to help his country and himself. Kye is an excellent substi tute for wheat, In fact has almoat equal value as a bread crop. Rye grows well on nearly all types of soil In South Carolina, and requires com paratively little 'labor to produce it. It offers financial returns to the farm er.1 It serves as a cover crop during the winter, and it may be harvested in time to plant a crop in the spring. Clemson College experts eay that the Abrucsi Is tb? variety to grow in South Carolina, and that it will do ?wtwr if planted nu land that has been well plowed and harrowed early la vthe fall. It will do well, however, if planted on corn land If plowed into cultivation, or better still if planted with a one-horse drill. Kye doea not require heavy fertilisation, but It will do well to* apply from 100 to 200 pounds of acid phosphate and about an equal amount of cotton seed meal at the time of planting. It should bo seeded at the rate of 4 to 6 pecka per acre. The time for planting is not as Important aa for other an^all grains. It will probably do best If planted In October or early November, but it Hiay .be planted as late aa December first. * COTTON 8EED PRICE REOUCEO $1 PER TON ? ? Columbia. ?
