H ?ii i B STSTEMAIIG SOIL BUILDING SB Crop Rotation, Legumes, Drainage, B and Fertilizers Important Features. m Clemson College, Dec. 26.?The valB . Tie of a well-drained, fertile soil can not be over estimated in fighting the boll weevil, in the first place, a welldrained soil is absolutely necessary to success, as cotton will not make an jj?- 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 condiItions, because the overhead expenses are so great that it makes the cost of fS production very high per pound of cotton. Some practices which have been j found extremely important in supply- j - ing and maintaining the fertility of ' the soil are suggested below. Crop Rotation.?It has been found that the fertility of the soil may be maintained more easily and more eo " onomically by a systematic crop roll 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 agronomist* ? have worked out good rotations for ^ Various phases of farming in the different sections of the state and will g|g - gladly furnsh them upon request Summer Legumes.?It is recom Sgi mended that summer legumes oe j|T v planted everywhere possible, and that all such legumes as are not needed for feed for livestock be plowed under dor soil improvement. This will re?| duce the fertilizer bill very materially and at the same time will add much valuable organic matter to our soils. In a recent experiment conducted j; by Clemson College at Allendale, S. C., where corn followed cotton, a yield of 15 bushels was secured without the use of nitrogenous fertilizer. Where ? ;Corn followed a crop of velvet beans, the same Dlot gave 37.7 bushels, show I ing that the velvet beans supplied practically all the nitrogen required *. in the production of a good crop of corn on a poor sandy loam soil. _ Winter Cover Crops.?It is SJso important to plant winter cover crops on all land not otherwise occupied, as these not only help to preserve the fertility of the land and prevent washing and leaching, but are also valuable because the boll weevil can not live through the winter in a green cover crop, since he is unable to evaporate sufficient moisture from his body to enable him to stand the winDrainage and Terracing.?It is impossible to raise cotton satisfactorily * * A " /-J in a/1 on/1 If on ia.UU Ulttl IS pwn; uiaiucu, uuu iv is impossible to build up the fertility of land that is no. properly terraced. Therefore, good drainage and proper terracing are primarily essential to successful crop producton under 'boll weevil conditions. B|| Lime Where Needed.?The use of p lime is recommended where a good system of crop rotation is being folfw lowed and where green manure crops 1 and winter cover crops are being grown and plowed under to increase the organic matter in the soil. Lime t ; will not be profitable to apply to (Corn, COttOn, or small grams, cawv<> under the conditions given above. Livestock Manures and Commercial Fertilizers, r? Commercial fertilizers r shQuld be used judiciously, and all the barnyard manure possible should be applied to our farming land. Under boll weevil conditions it has been found that the earliest crop (which under boll weevil conditions ^ is the best crop) is secured from properly balanced fertilizer. It is important to have enough of each 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 that I'. will delay the maturity of the crop, esneciallv is this true of nitrogen and potash. Many experiments have shown f that a little nitrogen gives a late ||?y; crop. It has also been 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 the crop. The Extension Service and the South Carolina Experiment Station have issued from time to time various % V- , publications that will help farmers build better soils. One of the most jpx important of these is Extension Bulletin 48, 'Tarming under Boll Weevil 0 Conditions,*' which can be secured free from county agents or from the Extension Service, uiemson . 8. C. it, CO-OPERATION IN THE PRODUCTION, STANDARDIZATION, AND MARKETING OF FARM PRODU" UCTS. c It is recognized that farmers need * . and should have a larger share of the consumer's (foliar paid for farm products. To get this fanners need to wvi-o Mttantion to uniformity in UiVIV ? p production, to proper standardization of products, and to orderly distribu# tion of products. These things can be accomplished only by co-operation through organization. The individual farmer is seldom able to make satisfactory market connection. Therefore farmers are urged: \ (a) To perfect community organiza- j Hons for uniform production through the adoption of standard varieties, standard containers, standard grades etc. (b) To organize co-operative marketing associations on the commodity basis l'or the proper grading, adequate ^nonnlncr oni) warehousing, necessary uix<*ui ?&. ??

On New Year's eve while the clock is striking 12 re peat uiree nines: uuuu ou Anne, good St. Anne, send me a man as fast as you can," and you will be engaged within the year. Spend on New Year, spend all the vear. The Chinese say that if a man sits up for ten years in succession and sees the new year come in he will ;iave a long life. It is unlucky to refuse a beggar anything on New Year's day, or to refuse a request of any kind. It is lucky to rise early on New Year's morning. If the first carol singer who comes to the door on New Year's morning is brought in at the front door, taken all through the house, and let out at the back door, it will bring luck to the house for a year. When the wind blows on New Year's night, it is a sign of pestilence. If your first caller on New Year's day Is a male, you will have good luck [ and many friends; if a female, bad | luck and few friends. The Chinese think New Year's day is the luckiest of the year. If you wash clothes on New Year's day, You'll be sure to wash a friend away. Turn your pillow.at midnight of the 31st of December and you will dream of the one you are to marry. 11 u rings guuu iuuk 10 piuctr a piece of money on the window on New Year's eve. If the first man you speak to on New Year's morning has his hands in his pockets, you will have a hard time getting what money you want during the year. It is an old Dutch superstition that if you want to marry the girl you love, your voice must be the first one she hears and your face the first she sees on New Year's morning. Superstitious folk consider it important to notice whom you meet the first Jiing on New Year's day. If it is a man, you will have good luck, if a woman, bad luck; if a priest, you will die within a year; if a policeman, you will have litigation. The first person of the opposite sex roil moot on New Year's dav will bear the Christian name of your future partner. If ice melts on January 1 it will reeze on April 1. Feed the birds well on New Tear's norning by placing a sheaf of wheat jr barley or some bread outside your bouse, then good luck will attend you,and good crops and prosperity come to you during the whole year. On New Year's eve take your hymnbook to your bedroom, blow out the lamp, open your book, and mark a hymn (in the dark), put It under your pillow, and sleep on it. Next morning read the hymp, and it will indicate the events of the year. It is unlucky to have clothes hanging on the line when the New Year is born. Cook cabbage on New Year's day and you will have good luck all the year. * * Decorated apples stuck mi three skewers are exchanged for luck on New Year's dav in Great Britain. Burn all the visiting cards that have been received throughout the year on January 1. If you keep them from year to year you will have bad luck. If you have not "provided yourself with a calendar before the New Year comes in you will be behind hand in all your undertakings during the year. In Japan oranges are hung up on New Year's day as a charm to insure the long life of the family. The Chinese believe it bad luck to pay all of outstanding accounts on the last of the year and begin fresh and straight on New Year's day. Just before midnight on New Year's eve the Chinese put on new or clean varments so as to enter the new vear p? *? ? ? V purely, and thus gain good fortune to themselves. On New Year's night it was an old Welsh c ustom with the wise and courageous old men of the parish to sit up all night in the church porch. On that night, it was said, a voice, emanating from beneath the altar table, pronounced the names of those who should die within the coming year. Your conduct on New Year's day is a forerunner of your conduct all the year. NOT STINGY.
