THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1922J SYSTEMATIC SOIL Bl Clerason College, Dee. 26.—The/ral- ue ot a well-drained, fertile soil cam aot be over estimated in flghting tho boll weevil. In the first place, a well- drained soil is absolutely necessary to success, as cotton will not make an early growth on a cold wet soil. In the second place, It has not been found profitable to raise cotton on poor land under boll weevil condi tions, because the overhead expenses are so great that it makes the cost of production very high per pound of cotton. Some practices which have been found extremely important In supply ing and malntain<ng the fertility of the soil are suggested below. Crop Rotation.—It has been found that the fertility of tho soil may be maintained more easily and more ec onomically by a systematic crop ro tation than it can be done without a rotation. The value of crop rotation In keeping up the fertility of our land can not be over-estimated. The Clemson Colege agronomists have worked out good rotations for various phtses of farming in the dif ferent sections of the state and will gladly funtsh them upon request. Sommer Legumes.—it is recom mended that summer legumes he planted everywhere possible, and that all such legumes as are not needed for feed for livestock be plowed under for soil Improvement. This will re duce the fertiliser bill very materially and at the same time will add much valuable organic matter to our soils In a recent experiment conducted by Clemson College at Allendale. 8. C., where corn followed eotton. a yield of IS bushels waa secured without the use ot adtrogsnous fertiliser Where com followed s croprof velvet beans, the same plot gave S7 7 bushels, show ing that the velvet beans rupplled practically all the nitrogen required in the production of s good crop of com on a poor sandy loam soil Wintsr Cover Crepe.- It le also Im portant to plant winter cover crops oa all land not otherwise occupied, as thsse aot only he p to preserve the fertility of the land and prevsnt wash ing and leaching, but am also valu able because the boll weevil can not live through the winter in a green cover crop, since he is unable to evs- porate safflcieat moisture from his body to enable him to stand ths win ter. Drainage and Tsrracing It is lm- posaibls to raise cotton satisfactorily on land that is poorly drained, and it is impossible to build up the fertility land that Is not properly terraced. Therefore, good drainage and proper terracing are primarily essential to successful crop produrton under boil weevil conditions. Lime Where Needed.—The use of lime is recommended where a good syatetn of crop roution le being fol lowed and whei% green manurv crops and winter cover crops are being grown and plowed under to increase the organic matter in the soil. Lime will not be profitable to apply to com, cotton, or small grains, except under the conditions given above. Livestock Manures and Commst-cial Fertilizers. *— Commercial fertilizers should be used judiciously, and all the barnyard manjre possible should be applied to our fanning land. Tn- der boll weevil conditions It haa been found that the earliest crop (which under boll weevil conditions Is the best crop) is secured f roni prop erly balanced fertilizer. It Is impor tant to have enough of n.nrh element in the soil to supply the needs of the crop, and yet it is not wise to have too much of any one element, for teat will delay the maturity of the crop, especially is this true of nitrogen and potash. Many experiments have shown that a little nitrogen gives a lata erop. It has also heen found that too little potash is likely to result in dam age from rust and too much potash is likely to delay the maturity of fie crop. Service and th The question of greatest importance is not what you will be allowed for your old car but the price you pay for the new car and the value received. No one receives anything gratuitously in this world — don’t be misled by false allow ances. You are money out if allowed $100 more, for your old car, yet have to pay a $150 higher list price for a new car when the comparative value is not there. A purchaser’s loss is only postponed when trading allowances are made above a used car’s real value. The deal that may ap pear most satisfactory to you in the begin ning may prove to be the most expensive in the end. We believe that any sales policy which en courages the giving of fictitious values for used cars is an injustice to the public. We wish to establish definitely the fact that the Buick Motor Company has never followed this policy—rather has always based the price of its product upon actual costs and when costs came down correspondingly re duced the prices of its cars to the public without any camouflage whatsoever. r BUICK FOURS * 22-Four-34 Two Passenger Roadster $ 895. 22-Four-35 Five Passenger Touring . . ... . 935 22-Four-36 Three Passenge r Coupe 1295 22-Four-37 Five Passenger Sedan 1395 BUICK SIXES * * 22-Six-44 Three Passenger Roadster $1365 22-Six-45 Five Passenger Touring 1395 22-Six-46 Three Passenger Coupe 1885 22-Six-47 Five Passenger Sedan . 2165 22-Six-48 Four Passenger Coupe 2075 22-Su£-49 Seven Passenger Touring ....... 1585 22-Six-50 Seven Passenger Sedan 2375 All Prices F.
