Get the G?nuineT355(pP^7cvl and Avoid^mur^AlMI Every Cake POTASH FOR SOUTH CAROLINA SOILS. Clemson College, Jan. 15.?Experiments conducted by the South Carolina Experiment Station last year give some interesting data concerning the effects of potash on the different soils and the different crops of the State. Potash is the limiting factor it seems in the production of cotton, tobacco, and potatoes in the Coastal Plain section and in the eastern part of South Carolina. This is especially true of cotton. The experiments at the Coast Stat ion 5ilwm* -in i~ - <* .?~~%'j puuiuifs ui muriate of potash to the acre produce;! an average annual increase of seed cotton of 330 pounds to the acre? that is, when potash alone was used as a fertiliser, Where this amount of muriate of potash was used in connection with 1120 pounds of phosphoric acid, an average increase over phosphorus alone was 420 pounds per acre. The increase in 1017, the eighth year that the test v us conducted, was 7115 pounds of I seed cotton. Where potash was used \.\ a complete fertilizer at the rate of COO pounds of an 8-3.5-3.5, we rihtilinnil MM !iirni">i?n ? - ...i hi > 11*#-,* uu u iiM' ovri' the same fertilisation without potash of 480 pounds of seed cotton per aero. Hy simply adding 40 pounds muriate of potash to the acre to an X-3.5-0 fertilizer we obtained an inciease of 480 pounds of seed cotton. ilt is clear from these results how essential potash is for the Coastal Plain for cotton. A survey of the State was made during September and it was found that cotton rust was prevalent throughout the entire Coastal Plain section. This survey indicates that the cotton crop was reduced 25 per cent this season on account of lack of potash. In some cases the loss was even higher than this, amounting to half the crop. This was especially true on light sandy soils where practically no poatsh had been added for three years. At the present prices of cotton, it is certainly a good business proposition to use fertilizer contain ing as much as 3 per cent of potash for cotton in the Coastal Plain section. In the Piedmont section of this state, the potash used in our experimental plots has hardly increased the yield of cotton or corn sufficient. to pay for the potash at prelum prices. It is recommended, | therefore, that no potash be used in ! the Piedmont section of the State i and that the potash supply he conserved for use under cotton, tobacco, p >tatoes and other truck crops in j the Coastal Plain section. o Habit. While in a certain government office recently Sir Evan Jones, the Biitish transport hoard chairman, 'overheard the following dialogue between two fair typewriter tappers: "Isn't it terrible the way we have to work these days?" "Rather! Why, I typed so many letters yesterday that last night 1 finished my prayers with 'Yours t: uly.' " ?Vancouver (B. C.) Province. LEMONS MAKE SKIN WHITE. SOFT, CLEAR i Make this beauty lotion for a few cents and see for yourself. What girl or woman hasn't heard j of lemon juice to remove complexion i blemishes; to whiten the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth j the juice of two fresh lemons into a do*lie containing1 about throe ounces of orchard white, then shake well and >ou have a whole quarter pint of skin and. cr?mpl?>xion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. He sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gens into the bottle, then this lotion will icmain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify the skin. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons.? ?adv?(5) v t. 8EVM INCLUDE All NATIONS IS AMERICAN PUN J Outline of U. S. Attitude Given After Return to Paris of President VERSAILLES IS FAVORED AS INTERNATIONAL SEAT First Conferences, Soon to Zegin, Will Clear Decks of Minor Problems. Paris. ? The return to Paris of Picsident Wilson, tho arrival of Loi\l Robert Cecil, the siierbtl nf k - *? V ax v/i the British Government on the League of Nations, and the presence in iv of Leon Bourgeois, the French representative on the same subject, marked the inauguration of exchanges on the definite terms by which the I league is to be constituted. Already considerable progress has been made on the various tentative proposals put forward, but in the recent absence of the President these have, not taken definite form, as it ?s recognized that he personally wi'l take a leading part in the final formulation of the plan. Meanwhile, how ever, the various Governments chiefly interested are presenting outlines in quite definite form. To Kmbrace Ml Nations. The American viewpoint, as it is now being fonnulaL d by the speciali ts as the groundwork for the present, seeks to reach and accord on fundamentals on which nil no-mo present them in simple working fo.m. One of the chief of these fi ndamentals is the formation of a league which will embrace all the nations of the world, but not one which will establish any balance of pawn* among the group of nations. Also care is being taken that the influence of the various nations in the league would be in accordance with their size and importance, so that the great powers and the small powers would have voices according to their standing. <. Another feature especially concerning small, undeveloped nations is to be established, according to the American plan?a system of international trusteeship whereby the various larger nations having developed and stable civilization will act as trustees for the society of nations i?i fostering the progress and development of undeveloped communities. Allied Plans Set Forth. Two British plans of a tentative nature have been presented?one by Lord Robert Cecil, the other by Lb ut. Clen. LT. C. Smuts of the War Cabinet. The French plan, as formulated by M. Bourgeois , has also been set forth. And these are being compared by the American specialists who are preparing the ir round worlf fY?i* Pi'n^l.iont ( , . V. a. i V.'IHV lit I ( nr>uu, Lord Robert Cecil's plan outlines a broad and comprehensive organization of the League of Nations, but thus far it is in general terms and has not yet been reduced to definit * terms of enactment as it would appear in a treaty. Clen. Smuts's plan is along similar lines, but more general, and is mainly a thesis of the advantages of such a League of Nations.
