Prosperty Through
Chemical Industry
Atlanta, Jan. 31.?Permanent prosperity
in the iSouth will be reached
through the chemical industry, Dr.
Charles H, Herty, Savannah, chemist
told the Association of Southern Agricultural
"Workers here tonight.
Discussing the importance of the
chemical industry, Dr. Herty said that
by buying Southern fertilizers, Southern
farmers would not only do their
bit toward supporting the industry
but would help themselves.
The South, he said, can supply its
farms with potash, phosphate and nitrogen.
"No question," the scientist said,
haa ever been raised as to the quality
or the price of products made
right here in the South."
Elaborating on the importance of
the American nitrogen industry. Dr.
Herty said "it has a double significance,
for it constitutes the most substantial
or all arms for self defense.
"To insure a domestic nitrate industry,
our federal government has
spent millions of dollars for scientific
research on the subject, and our
chemical industries have invested millions
of dollars right here in the
Soutih."
'Speaking of his work in developing
products from Southern pine. Dr.
Herty said:
"We have now made newsprint of
greater strength as to burst, tear and
tensile than any other commercial
newsprint manufactured m the
world."
Urging that the South spend its
money on its own chemical products
instead of buying from outside markets,
the speaker said. "I have in
mind particularly the attracting of
capital to the South for the development
of a great white paper industry.
He told of the successful manufacttrra^of
rayon from bleached sulphite
pulp young Southern pine.
"Slash pine," He-.**id, "is a cash
crop and for that reason will constitute
a new fiscal program for our
farmers who heretofore have relied
solely on cotton, a seasonal crop.
Here are millions of acres of abandoned
farm land on which pines will
grow with the greatest ease and with
no special care in cultivation.
Preston E. Thomas, for 22 years
warden of the Ohio state penitentiary
at Columbus has been suspended from
office, pending investigation after it
was learned that his wife was alleged
to be on the prison payroll as a
matron.
Soil, Seed, Fertilizer
Produced Results
Lancaster, Feb. 12.?L. R. Rollings,
of Kershaw, R. F. D. No. 2, Lancaster
County, winner of first prize in
the state-wide quality cotton contest
conducted by the extension service of
Clemson College, attribufes his success
in the contest very largely to
good seed and proper fertilization. He
produced 5,200 pounds of lint cotton
of 1 1-32 inch staple on five acres.
"I feel," said Mr. Rollings, "that
the results I secured were due io several
factors. I secured the very best
possible planting seed. 1 planted on
a rich gray loam soil. I mixed my
own fertilizer, putting in materials I
thought would produce the best results.
I used two side-dressings of
Chilean Nitrate of Soda to promote
early and heavy fruiting."
Mr. Rollings in preparing his land
first put 22 loads of stable manure'
on five acres. Next he placed under
the crop on the five acres a mixture
made up of 1,200 pounds of cotton
seed meal. 1,000 pounds of acid phosphate.
800 pounds of manure salts,
100 pounds of Chilean Nitrate of Soda
and 800 pounds of Agricultural limestone.
He planted Coker's Cleveland 5
strain 5 seed in rows 30 inches wide
and spaced two stalks every 12 inches
in the drill. He sidedressed twice
with Chilean Nitrate of Soda using
120 pounds to the acre each time, or 1
a total of 1.200 pounds to the five!
acres in the two side-dressings. He!
poisoned eight time*.
Mr. Rollings figured his cost on the |
five acres at $272.11 anil his gross',
receipts at $870.37. leaving* him a net!
profit of $004 26 ir. addition to the
$750.00 which he won a> a prize in
the state-wide contest.

only, with cup and plate awards and
no cash prizes. There has never been |

cause of the exceptional growth of

meet shall be given first consideration,
an association of subscribers ham
been formed so that at nominal cost
there shall be reserved special privj-|
leges for subscribers and their
friends. Part of this money shall be
used for substantial purses, in addition
to the Carolina Cup and hand-1
some plate pieces.
