I
Farmers Can Save From Three to
Five Dollars Per Ton by Mix- 1
ing Materials at Home
Farmers ran save from three to .
five dollars a ton by mixing their fcrtillizcrs
at home. Three other advan- <
tages of home-mixed fertilizers are .
stated as follows by Clemson College
authorities: !
1. It is possible to know definitely
from what sources the ammonia in |
your fertillizer is derived. 1
2. It is possible to prepare for each <
crop the special grade of fertilizer \
best suited to it. j
2. There is a saving in freight,!
hauling, and distributing, by not bav- ]
ing to handle a lot of "filler" that is f
put in ready-mixed fertilizer. f
Farmers can get Circular 10, f,
"Home Mixing of Fertilizers", by writ- i

USE WILT RESISTANT SEED.
Somebody estimates that the South
loses about ten million dollars annually
as the result of the ravages of
cotton wilt and root-knot. South Carolina
bears a large part of this loss.
It is not difficult, however, to protect
ones cotton crop from wilt. The use
of wilt-resistant varieties of cotton is
the course urged by the botany divis-j
ion of Clemson ,Colleg e and thhi dlvlsIon
is co-operating with a number of'
farmers in the state who are produc-! j
ing carefully grown seed of these wilt-1
resistant varieties to sell to farmers
who need them. The botany division
of Cltnuon College will be glad to
answer question about wilt and root*

PERMANENT PASTURES'
i
Bermuda and Bur Clover Make Most
Desirable AII-the-Year Pasture
For South Carolina. j
Bermuda grass and bur clover make ^
the most desirable permanent pasture
for South Carolina and Bermuda especially
is recommended by Olemson
College as a pasture grass to all farmers
in this state who are raising cat-1
tie and hogs or who expect to raise
them. One of the most essential steps
in any live-stock development is the
establishment of a good permanent
pasture.
Experience has shown that Bermuda .
Is the best pasture grass for the,
South. One of it's valuable qualities
Is that it may be planted in practically
any month, the Only precaution necessary
in winter being to cover the
ioots doeply enough. ?
In sowing Bermuda grass, it is best
to use the roots. Run turn plow furrows
two feet apart, drop a small root
every two feet in these furrows and
throw one furrow on each planted
row. Allow to grow for one summer,
with onlv li?ht crazine. and turn nn
dor or otherwise break in fall, just at
or soon arter frgst. The long runners
thus covered will furnish a new plant
the following season from each covered
joint and you will have an excellent
sod. If done in this way a good
sod can be obtained within two
years at small expense.
If Bermuda grass is put in this wintor.
bur clover can be added next August.

In every community there ' are a

a good profit from their farms. They I
are now being used by county agents
as practical object lessons for their!

a position to say: "This is the kind cf
'arming that pays. If you don't b
ilove me, look around you. It's not a
theory; it's a fact."
The demonstrations cf this kind
?ha the# Department of Agricul'urr,
| operating1 with the State colleges of
'm ricillturo has made already, afford
v:o;vie striking; instances of the difl'ori
s rco iii results between g >od and ba !
farm management. Recently 04
groups of farms in 19 States were
studied in order to ascertain what the

? v-aii i."l 11 n * s e groups, which included
altogether 4.440 farms, the conditions
were reasonably similar. In each
".roup the farmers were divided into
five numerically equal classes accord
I ing to their labor incomes,
The Successful Fifth.
It was found that although the average
labor income for all groups was
*bnly $387, the average for the farmers
in the l'irs? class?that fifth of the
farmers who did best?was $1,421. In
liio second class it was $0 42. The la.si
class?the fifth of the farmers who
were least successful?got nothing;

their farm, stock, and equipment
would have been $">17 more than the
farm returned them. It should bo

cr's wages, and that the family has in
addition, besides interest on investment,
the use of the farmhouse and
such fuel and food as the farm supplies
free of money eost. ?
I Other demonstrations have prodiieI
ed similar results. In almost any
northern community, one-fifth of the
farmers are making approximately
$1,000 a year more than the average
and $2,000 more than the least successful.
This is not luck, nor is it altogether,
or even chiefly, a question
of the skill of the individual farmer.
Further analysis will show that the
successful men are following certain
methods adapted to their conditions
and that the unsuccessful are not. It
is the business of the county agents
and farm management demonstrators
to ascertain what those methods are,
and to point them out.
j How this can be done is shown by a
study of a farm which, for the sake
of convenience, can be called the
Baldwin farm. The owner's labor income
one year was minus $45?his income
was $45 less than the interest on
l his farm and equipment. That year
I the average income on 198 farms in1
the same community was $190 and for
the 25 more successful farms $750.
j The amount of capital represented by
the Baldwin farm was a little more
than the average and a little less than
that of the best farms. In neither case,
however, was the wifference sufficient
I to account at all for the striking dif
feronoe in income.
In profitable Cows.
There were, however, other differ-1
ences which did account for it. Bald-1
win had 51 acres in crops, as compar-i
j o? 1 with an average of 9$ and for tlu*
best farms of DM. He fed practically j
' all his crops' to his 11 cows and 2
horses, but the receipts in butter and '
iv.ilk from each of his cows averaged !
only $80. On the average farm there
were (> cows, giving average rdceipts
; of $44, and on best farms S cows, with j
average receipts from each of $(>2.
The oilier farmers with their largei
crop acreage had a surplus of crops to
sell. Baldwin, with as good yields as j
the others per acre, had practically j
nothing to sol!, and the stock to which i
he fed his crops was too poor to give j
him profitable returns.
' The important thing for Baldwin j
said the demonstrators vhon they had
ascertained these facts, was to weed j
out hi* herd, to keep a record c.f the1
production of each cow and to got rib
of those which were costing him!
I . '
.honey . The next thing' was if possible
to vent or buy a liUlc more land
so that the size of his business woulo
be more commensurate with its-equip-'
ment. He and his horses wore capable
of farming as much land as his neighbors.
and by not doing it he was wasting
his time just as his cows were
wasting his feed.
Such demonstrations, of course, are
valuable only 1\>r the community in
which they are made. They can not
be taken to mean that if ;s bottom to
