I his year 14.000,000 pounds of tnix.-d ferti- izer* and 3,000.00'I pounds of cotton seed meal were used In the State of South Carolina. The State ltd* year produced only 1.100 000 hales of cotton. In four year* the increased u«e of manufactured fertilizer* ha* been 60 per cent, while the increase of cotton reduction ha* been only 25 per cent lotion most pay this hid of about 116 per bale. There are other conditions of more importance than plant food in le soil. Often soil* with plemy of Gant food in them refuse to province plant*. Plants can only take f > I that has been dissolvtd in *»ter, and mile** the plant, food la soluble in water it i* absolute y without benefit. Tne prob lem is to render the plant fund avail* ble and the que*tion is how? Among tne most active agent* for tills purpose are the oxygen and carbonic acid in the air Moisture I* also, of prime impor tance. An excess will prevent plants from thriving on account of it* ex cluding the air. A deficiency of mois ture prevents the proper solution of plant food. Moisture is also of im portance because it enters so largely into tne com po.it ion of the plants, for every pound of diy matter used in the production of an car of corn, 300 that amount of water I* used, which is brought up to the plant by capillary attraction. In dry weather frequent stirring of the surface soil is the best way to hold (ho moisture, the stirred up portion acts a* a sponge.
