Jeff Davis Data In New Campaign ; i An interesting and little known fact about the early career of Jeffer- ' son Davis is featured in a new Chilean Nitrate announcement, ono of an j unique aeries concerning this natural product appearing in this newspaper. \ 'The fact is' used to emphasize the long period through which Chilean Natural Nitrate has been used to fertilize Southern crops. In 1830 when Chilean Nitrate was first used in the .South, the man who was to become president of the Confederacy, was a vouflg army officer patrolling' "the north-western frontier" as the district comprising Wis-, cousin, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota . was known in those days. A few years later Jefferson was a wealthy cotton planter. His plantations were In Warren County, Miss. It was while ho was thus engaged that he developed his interest in politics which took him so far in national affairs. The first public office for which he was a candidate was that of State Representative in the Mississippi house. Jefferson's im-'J portan?e as a cotton planter and the sizeable fortune which ho built during this period of his life, leads to the belief that he may have been one of the early users of Chilean Nitrate on his yearly crops. Jefferson Davis took seat in Congress December 8, 1845?fifteen years after Chilean Natural Nitrate's introduction in the South. When he rose to deliver his first speech on the Oregon boundary iasue?Johp Quiney Adams drew near him, for it was Adams' habit to listen carefully to | the first speech of a new member, 1 apparently to discover if it were | worth while for him to pay attention the next time the speaker had the ' floor. At the close of the speech Adams crossed over to some friends ' and said, "That young man, gentlemen, is no ordinary man. Ho will make his mark yet, mind me." In each of the many advertisements in this series, all of which are ' appearing in this paper, interesting historical facts about heroes of the South are an important feature.

Says Code Protects Farm Chick Buyers ?-r?<v Clem son College, March 12.?Farmers who buy baby chicks this year will benefit from the provisions of the hatchery code which became effective in January under the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, says P. H. Gooding, extension poultry man. When chicks, poults or ducklings are bought from those under the code, the buyer is protected on quality, time of delivery and loss adjustments. Fraudulent or deceptive advertising or substitution of other chicks when special qualities have been advertised for the hatchery's own product would also be violations qf the new code. Hatching eggs uridfcr the code must weigh an average of not less than 23 ounces per dozen and no individual egg is expected* to weigh less than one and five-sixths ounces. This measure is- intended- to improve egg size generally, through building up laying stock which will carry tho inherited tendency to produce large eggs.\v- . Farmers who breed, hatch and sell baby chicks of high quality, or who produce hutching eggs for sale are also given protection through the bans against misleading advertising, and through the provisions which call for premium prices for hatching eggs sold by those who come under the code. In this connection Mr. (iooding quotes .1. A. Hannah, Kansas City, the managing agent of the Hatchery Coordinating Committee: "Hatcheries should remember tlyit Hock owners are entitled To a fair premium for hatching eggs. "Thi order to furnish the hatcheries with eggs that will produce chicks of the quality buyers want, these owners must go to considerable expense, and they are entitled to a reasonable premium." C. A. Cobb, head of the cotton division of tho agricultural adjustment administration, is quoted as being highly pleased, with tho results of the campaign to sign farmers up on the reduction agreements. Ho says: "Only our own stupidity can prevent tho coming of j>ermanently better times in the South." Thirty persons were made homeless in south Georgia by a cyclone which swept the section on Monday. Millet Good Grazing For Cows In Summer Clemson CoV liege, March 12.? Since grazing can usually be started in 80 days after planting and will continue until frost, if properly managed pearl millet is one of the best annual Crops for summer grazing for dairy oattlo in this territory, declares -Prof. J. P. I?aMaster, head of the Dairy Department. This plant, he points out, makes a rank growth and stools out thus increasing the foliage as grazing proceeds. It is usually best to have two areas of millet planted so that alternate grazing may bo practiced, Professor 141 Master explains. With reasonably good soil one-half acre per cow should give abundant grazing throughout the summer under thin plan. At the Sandhill Experiment Station near Columbia, seedlings have been made as early as March 15, with successful results, but in most soils in the state from April 15 to May 1 woujd be the best time to plant this ,vrop. The usual rate of seeding is 80 pounds per acre. A firmer sod is secured if it is cross seeded at the rate of 15 pounds per acre, each way, or " " " " ' 1 ) - ? "* * it can bo broadcast by hami. Pearl millet and Sudan grass lill tfcbout the same neod for a summer grazing crop, but Sudan truss belongs to the sorghum family and whin h tun till by drought or frost the second growth may contain poisonous principles which may cause j prussic acid poisoning in cows. Pearl 1 millet belongs to a different family of plants and does not have tins objectionable features, Advising that land be set aside for summer grazing crops. Prof. La Master suggests that if it is located near the barn it can be depended on for a half to two-thirds of the feed bill for most of the summer.
