f Test Cotton Seed
Advises Clemson
Clemson . CoU*0. MO'ch 15.?To
date 976 samples of cotton seed have
been tested by the Extension Ser- j
vice at Clemson College for farmers
of the state, and these samples have
averaged only 68 per cent germination,
many samples having tested
from 20 per cent down to zero. Even
the general average of 08 per cent
is too low for safety in planting, says
K. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist,
who urges that farmers will
be very unwise to plant seed without
testing them to be assured of reasonably
high germination.
Warnings regarding the testing of
cotton seed for planting have been
issued several times from Clemson
Cdllege, from Commissioner of Agriculture
J. W. Shealy, and from
State Warehouse Commissioner J. C.
Kivers; and Mr. Hamilton is issuing
this final warning so that farmers
who wish, to have their seed tested
free by Clemson College may send
samples labeled with name and address
to R. W. Hamilton, Extension
Service, Clemson College, S. C.
Major A. L. 'Burwinkle of Gastonia,

Trailing Crime
By Fingerprint
By Chau. B. Blyther
Fingerprints: If there is one word
in the police lexicon which strikes
terror to the criminal heart, it U
this one. Finger print# are the one
Incontrovertible bit of evidence which
no alibi, nor bribe, nor intimidation,
nor time itself can avail against.
I know that it Bounds exaggerated
T'? finger print men come out
boldly and assert, "There are no two
finger prints in the world that are
exactly alike." What we mean is,
that since the science* of finger print
identification was established, there
have never been found two finger
prints that are exactly alike.
This fact is not so astounding, however,
when we consider the source of
these patterns. Nature never duplicates,
not even in tiny details. Take
the leaves of the trees for example.
One oak leaf resembles another oak
leaf in design, but if you take two
leaves which seem to be alike and
study them closely, you will see that
there are many differences.
1 hen study the two halves of one
leaf. Even they are not symmetrical.
Under the microscope, two petals
from one tiny flower, two wings from
the same mosquito, two blades of
grass that have grown side by side,
are not exactly alike.
Only articles that are made by machines
are duplicated with exactitude.
Nature always changes the pattern.
We do not -often come across two
men who look exactly alike. But
there are cases of "doubles," persons
who not only look alike, bui
whose bone measurements are exactly
alik.e Nature has made these
two men of one mold?except for
their finger prints.? For even in
cases of exact doubles that have been
discovered by identification experts,
the doubles were exactly alike in all
things but their finger prints.
This is why the finger print system
is the only infallible system of
identification in existence today.
The finger print system is often
spoken of as a new science. When
we speak of the finger print system
as a new science we mean that the
present system of giving a name to
the various styles of patterns, and
the method of placing, them in files
or compartments where they can be
quickly found, ' has only been perfected
in the past few years.
Over a. thousand years ago the
Chinese monarchs used their thumb
prints on documents as a sign manual.
This is really the first use of
finger prints of which we have any
record.
Today finger prints are used as .1
positive means of identification and
they are of great value in establishing
the identity of persons who have
criminal records or persons who have
left their finger prints at the scene
Of crime.
Finger prints are just as important
in determining the innocence of
a person accused of a crime as they
are in establishing guilt. There have
been cases without number where
persons arrested and strongly suspected
of having committed some
crime, have been proven innocent
through fingerprints that were photographed
at the scene of crime, and
have won their freedom through finger
prints where, ha<J fingerprints
not beeh present, they might have
beeh tried for the crime.
1 'On the Occurrence of a crime, such
as burglary, entering, breaking in,
he ld-up or robbery, it .js^very important
that you touch nothing or iet
any one else touch anything about
the premises until the officers have
investigated the crime and decided
wbethet or not there is a chance , of
securing finger prints. In almost
cv?ry ease a criminal will leave a few
prints, and these may help to solve
a case which otherwise might b?
hopeless and impossible.
Many times finger prints that have
been photographed at the scene of
crime, are the only means whereby
we can put the criminal where he
belongs after he is apprehended. We
will say that he has taken jewelry
or money or any other article in fact
and has disposed of it in such a manner
that wc are unable to discover its
whereabouts or connect the articles
wtih him oven though they be recov
ered, then the finger prints, if w<
have been able to secure them at th<
scene of crime, will go into evidenc<
and convict the criminal.
I work harmoniously and co-oper
atively with the law forces of Ker
shaw county, and wo have the lates
finger print equipment. Thus, im
mediately upon finding that a crim<
has been perpetrated, advise you
Sheriff, J. H. McUeod, of the same
and do not disturb or touch anythinj
until the officers arrive.
Finger prints found on the seen
of a crime should at all costs b
preserved and conserved and devel
I oped and photographed at once, a
thi* mean* the infallible identifies- I'
tion of the responsible ?*rty.
Tree As Monument To Man <1
Kent, O., March 16.?For the first ti
time in history, a living tree has *
been made to serve a* a monument 8
to a man whose life work is finished t:
and as a "cornerstone" in which has
been laid away the record of his ?
origination of a science which made u
him famous. A
The tree is an American elm, 60 t
feet in height and 1# inches in diam- u
eter, which was taken from a forest r
arid replanted today at the entrance i:
to Koosevelt high school as a memor- t
iul to John I)avey, father of tree sur- n
tfery. v
A cavity nearly a foot deep wa? t
cut in the trunk of the tree and in c
the niche so formed was placed a ii
copy of his book, "The Tree Doctor" h
the book which made known his f
conception of a new science. fc
Th? cavity was then filled with fc
sectional concrete according to the ?
principles which Davey originated. >
The wound will start to heal im- a
mediately. Hark will creep over it T
and in time ull traces of the "oper- ^
ation" will disappear. 1

"The moot practical method of preerviug

lorgan. "When preserving eggs by
his method an earthen jar should be ,
sed, although tin vessels free from

The vessel should be
horoughly cleaned and scalded. A

n the container. The eggs may then

should some of the liquid evaporate,
nore water can be added to bring the
olution up to the original amount.
The same precaution should be foltwed
in regard to boiling the water.
The eggs should be stored in a reasmab.ly
cool place. A cellar is very
atisfactory.
"One quart of water glass and
line quarts of water will be sufficient
to preserve 15 dozen eggs.
These can be placed in an eight-galon
jar or tin container. Eggs preserved
in this manner are entirely
satisfactory for cooking. If they are
boiled a hole must be punched in the
large end to prevent bursting. By
preserving eggs at this season the
winter supply may be obtained at
fbout half price."

HERE is convincing data on cotton
profits ... absolute proof that the right
food at the right times makes real money
from your cotton ccop.
In 1080 supervised demonstrations, in
nine Southern States, average application
of 205 lbs. of Chilean Nitrate made an average
increase of 372 lbs. of seed cotton
per acre. Every dollar invested in Chilean
Nitrate brought back 15.41 in extra
cotton. In all these demonstrations, three- ,
fourths of Chilean Nitrate was used an
side dressing. I
Side dressing with Chilean Nitrate makes
a big difference. This nitrate fertilizer goes
right to\york. Plants digest it quickly. Crops
become vigorous and healthy ... resist pests
and disease ... more bolls form ... more of
them carry through to earlier maturity. ,
Quality is improved and yield is increased. (
Remember .. . every Cotton Champion used ,
Chilean Nitrate to make his winning crop, i
No matter what fertilizer you use at plant-.
ing, side dress your cotton liberally with ,
Chilean Nitrate. It is the only natural nitrate
fertilizer in the world. Insist on Chilean.
See your local fertilizer dealer. If lie does
not carry Chilean Nitrate of Soda he can
easily get it for you.
