Tax Does Not Hurt Price Of Cotton Clemson College, Juiie 1.?The depressing effect of the processing tux on the price of cotton is nothing at! all or negligible, asserts O. M. Clark,! I extension farm management specialist. This assertion the economist makes in answer to the frequently made statement that the processing tax depresses the price of cotton by I an appreciable amount of the tax. "Some people believe," says Mr. I j Clark, "that the processing tax, by [ j increasing the cost of cotton goods,; reduces the amount of these goods ^purchased, whibh as a consequence would cause a reduction in the amount of raw cotton consumed. This, in turn, would be equivalent to increasing the supply of cotton which, against an unchanged demand, would depress the price. This no doubt would be true if the demand or power to purchase remained the same. Hut the demand does not remain the same. "The money derived from the processing tax and paid to cotton farmers is not taken out of circulation but goes into the hands of people who spend it. And a good proportion Is spent for cotton clothing. This In-. Increases the demand for cotton clothing, which in turn increases the demand for raw cotton. "Not only Is the cotton .growers' power to purchase increased but also the purchasing power of all those with whom cotton farmers do business either directly or Indirectly," Mr. Clark continues. "So long as the price of cotton and the tax do not put the cost to the mauufacturur out of line with the price of other things, and considering the increased purchasing power resulting from the revenue from the tax, the depressing effect of the processing tax upon the price of cotton is doubtless negligible or nothing at all." Silage Unequalled As Dairy Feed Clemson College, June 1.?"There is no substitute for silage in dairy cattle feeding," says C. G. Cushman, extension dairy specialist. "Silage is the most economical method of feed preservation and its succulent nature is particularly important during the dry season. There is no waste either in harvesting or in feeding." Mr. Cushman points out that according to feeding tests run at Clemson College by the South Carolina Expeximent Station, corn silage is 25 per cent higher In feed value than cane silagr, but it was concluded that sorghum is the better crop for silage because of the greater tonago yield per acre and the greater certainty of a crop under adverse conditions. "If corn is used for silage, improve the feeding value of the silage by planting either Biloxi or Mammoth Yellow soybeans in the row with the corn and cutting both for silage," suggests the specialist. "If cane is used, soybeans may be grown In a separate field and run into the silo with the cane at the rate of two loads of cane to one of soybeans." Regarding the construction of a low cost trench silo, Mr. Cushman calls attention to Extension Circular 121, The Trench Silo, which can be had free from the Publications Department at Clemson College.

Agronomy?Side-dress union with quickly available nitrogen; it will incrcuwe the yield. Don't forget to plant more, than enough hay crops. Sow soybean*, cowpeas, sorghum. Horticulture1?Secure Loo k o u t Mountain potatoes for July planting and prepare soil early to conserve moisture. Order celery plants for late July or early August deivery. Ap-j ply quickly available nitrogen to gar-' den crops if not growing well. Cultivate crops shallow but frequently to save moisture. Mulch tomato plunts j heavily with straw or leaves to hold tnotsture and prolong fruiting season. Pack vegetables and fruits in the right, kind of attractive package and get better prices. Plant a few tomato seed for a late crop. Insects and Diseases-?Gel the early boll weevil with pre square poison. Examine banded apple trees every 10 days and kill codling moth larvae.

Stop the spread of red spiders by burning weeds and badly infested plants and applying superj fine dusting sulfur, Spray or dust j beans with magnesium arsenate to control Mexican bean beetles. Nonpoisonous rotcnone sprays and dusts are just as effective. Transfer and requecn bees. Agricultural Engineering?Keep the two-horse cultivator going, .-The same sweeps used on one-hhrse plows will, work. Recondition the mower for cutting weeds and hay.

Bamboo Grown on Farm at Savannah Savannah, (iu . June 3.?'The American taste for chop suvy has set the government 10 growing bamboo. A wide variety of other uses of bamboo also figure in the proposition, so federal experts are studying development of commercial groves In this country at the ltarbonr Luthrop Plant Introduction Harden near here. The grove at the garden, now coveting more than an acre, was slutted from three plants originally imported from Japan. Several types of bamboo i are under study, but tho main grovo is timber bamboo, which shoots up sometimes as much as two feet a day i until it attains full height of f>0 to 60 feet. i Experts here explained the importance of the bamboo experiments. Besides its food and timber vulues, they pointed out, bamboo growH from a system of roots and rhizomes which 1 form an excellent erosion preventive 1 and the gloves make good windbreaks. 1 Bamboo shoots, thp young plants that spring up like u Uhree lnch shell, are a principal ingredient of chop suey and other Chinese foods. Those , in charge here said the growing popularity of these dishes lias developed i a really important industry in their ; production In this country, i Bamboo, they added, also is being 1 used for masts for small sailing craft, broom handles, toothbrush handles, j street sweeping brushes, poles for i harvesting nut and fruit crops, lad ders, graphophone needles and even i for a certain type paper. I The experiment at the garden near here is working along two lines?the development of groves and a view' to the education of the people in bamboo's usefuness. Experimental groves also are maintained in Louisiana, South Carolina and California. The 1 development of a bamboo Industry in ; this country, the experts said, how ever, is only in the primary stage. Death Of Mrs. Gardner Mrs. Nancy Gardner, widow of J. \V.
