USE FERTILIZER
Farmers Should Try to Produce

CARDWELL GIVES
GOOD SUGGESTIONS
Quotation From Pamphlet oni
Cotton Situation and j
Fertilizers.
When the price of cotton went
down, and it appeared that the prospoets
for high prices for tobacco this
year were not good, this newspaper
was inclined to think that a great
deal in the advice being given to the
farmers generally, that they should
limit their use of commercial fertilisers,
if they did not cut them out entirely.
After more careful thought
we are still of the opinion that farmers
should lie careful about making
debts in buying commercial fertili-|
zers. In other words they should be
careful not to buy too much. They i
should remember that tlvjy may not'
be able to pay the bill this year as
they were in 11)20.
It appears, however, that such advice
may go too far. Some leading
men who have studied tin; situation
think that 1921 will be the year when
all the farmers should endeavor to
produce big crops.. They argue that
by the.use of a reasonable amount of
fertilizer the production can bo (
doubled on the land, and that there;
is not .so much expense about culti- j
vating a small acreage with fertilizer
as there might be in cultivating a
large acreage without fertilizer. It
i '1 would cost more to cultivate, the lar''
ger field. The land would not produce
much more without the aid of
fertilizers.
In this respect a letter issued last
week by G. A. Card well, agricultural
and industrial agent of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company, quotes
with approval a statement from the
pamphlet written by Dr. J. N. Harper
entitled, "Cotton Situation and
Fertilizers," and which reads as follows:
"The farmers are being advised on
all sides at farmers' meetings, thru
the newspapers and other sources, to
curtail the cotton acreage this year.
Every cotton farmers is a competitor
of every other cotton farmer,
and they all must realize that if the
movement is to succeed and the acreage
be reduced, it must be done cooperatively.
All must take a stand.
"In addition to reducing the acreage,
another method for cutting clown
production has been recommended by
some?that of decreasing the fertilizer
application per acre. This, to
my mind, is not economically sound,
and it is unjust in that it works a
greater hardship on the farmers of
some sections of the country than it
does on those of other sections, for
it is well known that the sandy lands
of the Southeast must be more highly
fertilized than the more fertile
bottom lands of the Mississippi Val
ley. i nere arc tnousands of farmers
living in the Southeast who are
now raising cotton successfully in
f competition with the delta lands of
the Mississippi, -but this would be impossible
without the use of fertilizers.
Many sections of the Southeast are
prosperous where there was once
poverty. This has been brought
about entirely through the increased
use of commercial plant food. Now,
to ask the farmers of these sections
j to decrease the amount of plant food
nnnlicd to their huncrv soils, and
! the same time, to reduce the acreage,
is not fair."
Mr. Caldwell states that an intelligent
use of fertilizers was never more
needed than in making this year's
crops, anything less than the proper
number of pounds to produce the largest
returns at the lowest comparative
cost is uneconomical and has no
place in our farming operations.
I Rheumatism Cc

First of all, get it firmly fixed in
your mind that all the liniments
m the world have no effect whatever
on Rheumatism.
A very common form of Rheumatism
is caused by millions of
tiny disease germs which infest the
blood. The one and only sensible
treatment, therefore, is one which
cleanses the blood of these germs,
and routs them entirely out of the
circulation,

Australia's success affords suggestions
for dealing with neglect of war
veterans in the United States of
which the American Legion has complained.
"What has been adopted as definite
obligations to your war heroes?" he
was asked. He listed them in this
order:
1. To restore every man to a position
comparable to that which he occupied
upon enlistment, and to sustain
him by money allowance until
such a job is secured.
2. To make provisions for dependents
of deceased soldiers or of those

provide for them.

disabilities prevent their following

Millen explained that while the
government was finding jobs a sustenance
allowance of approximately
$10 a week has been given single
men, with extra allowance for married
men and their children, if any.
Men Got to Work.
"When I left Australia," Millen
said, only 1 per cent of the 280,000
men who had returned home, and who
were not physically incapacitated, remained
on allowance. The avenge
period during which men drew allowance
was three weeks.
"As a result of vocational training
30,000 men who would have drifted
inio the ranks of the unskilled laborers,
have become skilled workmen."
"How did this army of untrained
men live .while learning trades?" he
was askea.
"They were granted $10 a week
while in training," Millen explained.
"They were sent first to a training
school and afterward to trade schools
and absorbed into industry by a joint
agreement of the unions and the employers.
The ratio was one such man
to every six journeymen ordinarily
employed.
"In settling soldiers on land the
commonwealth agreed to help financially.
"We advanced 1,000 pounds (nearly
$4,000 American money) to each settler
of which 25 pounds is for working
capital, plant and improvements.
"Seventeen thousand men have
been established on the land, and it is
estimated that 13,000 more will desire
to get land. The total land settlement
will probably cost the commonwealth
50,000,000 pounds.
"Parliament lias approved a plan to
erect houses. It enables any soldier
or his widow to obtain a house either
by purchase or building, up to the
amount of 800 pounds, without deposit.
"Interest is charged at 5 per cent
plus 1 per cent sinking fund. The
amount of arrears has been less than
2 per cent.

Editor Herald:
I noticed in your last issue some
one interrogating the editor of the
Herald relative to some of the facts
in the Bellamy case. I am not attempting
to answer the questions
asked by the correspondent, yet I desire
to explain as to the facts which
we had and also our our position in I
we had and also our position in
the close of the session for 1920 a bill
was passed relieving Treasurer Bellamy
and his Bondsmen from being
liable for certain penalties not collect
ed. At the opening of this session
the Governor returned this bill with
his veto. We asked at this point to
have this matter deferred until a later
date in order that we might learn
the facts in the case. In the meantime
Mr. Bellamy came to Columbia
and he and I, together, called on the
Governor. Mr. Bellamy stated to
the uovernor that he went to tho
Auditor and asked him about putting
on the penalty when he was told by
the Auditor that it had not been a
custom to charge all of the penalties.
The treasurer then stated that as it
was a violation of the law to collect
this penalty, except it was put on the
tax duplicate by the auditor, that he
proceeded to collect taxes without the
penalty. The Governor replied: "You
should have closed your books and
reported the matter to the Comptroller
General," also that "Mr. Bellamy
under the law had the right even at
this late hour to issue tax executions
against those who had not paid the
penalty, and turn same over to the
Sheriff for collection." I also called
on the Comptroller General, as did
also Mr. Ford, for an explanation. I
was there informed that under the
law the auditor shall proceed to
charge all taxes as well as the penalties
against the County Treasurer.
Then the law makes it mandatory

same. We then took the stand that
treasurer Bellamy should not be held
to account for penalties not charged
by the county auditor and he should
be exhonerated from the charge.
A heated discussion followed, in
which remarks were made to the effect
that either the county auditor or
treasurer of Horry or both had robbed
the State out of tax money which
it was due to have.
This article is not written for the
purpose of a newspaper controversy,
but only to state the facts as we
found them. The final vote stood 69
against 30 in favor of the Governor's
veto. I desire to state further that
we made no effort to relieve the
county treasurer of any shortage except
that of the penalty, which
amount was about $3,f?00.

"It appears that under existing1 con
ditions, we should not attempt to stim
ulate unduly the normal rate of settle
ment, but rather to guide and protect j
(the normal movement along lineswhich
will insure a reasonbale degieo
of success in the development of new |
lands with a minimum of wasted cap |

retary of Agriculture in his annual I
report to the President. I
"It yet remains to he determined," j
he states, "whether this purpose can
best be accomplished by government J
action, by private enterprise with com |
prehensive attempts to educate both
land-settloment agencies and prospective
sellers in the methods most favorable
to success, or by private agencies
systematically regulated.
"While present conditions do not
seem to justify a policy of encouraging
and stimulating the extension of
the farm area, it must be recognized
that some new land is continually being
brought into cultivation in certain
regions. Moved by the spirit ot adven
ture characteristic of Americans, by
the desire to rise from the status of
tenancy to the more independent stat
us of farm ownership, by propaganda
which portrays to city people in

"In an earlier period of '?ur history

available for some time, but enough
