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.
