COTTON MARKET VERY QUIET J Weekly Cotton Letter By Sa-? vannah Cotton Factorage i Company. - J ' 1 Early in the week weather reports t wore sMirbt,'- * f,ter, and dispatches t from abroad indicated unsatisfactory c I tiauo co.iuino.!... The stock market was easier, and money higher. This, C together with other influences, had a > bearish effect on cotton and the mar- t ket lost a fjw joints. On Thurs- ^ day, the cotton market steadied and 1 advanced on reports of further de- f terioration, and better trade condi- 11 tions. ' ri^ . . - - me cotton market continues quiet, 11 but scarcely enough cotton is being v offered to supply the demand, and th6 basis has hardened, it is a well | known fact that many buyers who have visited Eastern markets re- ( cently have been compelled to re- ^ turn with only a small portion of the goods they expected to purchase. . Manufactured stocks are depleted ( and will have to be reolenished immediately. This should create a much better demand for raw cotton. The 1921 crop will prove to be several million bales less than that of 1920; trade conditions are im . proving slowly, and if the p*'es:?nt . crop is not marketed too rapidly, ik l( doubt higher prices will prevail b? fore the new year. Every farmer and buyer should hold a portion of his cotton, cv mi if bo has to borrow money to do so. Very little car y be lost in doing this, and much ca< v be gained, not only from an advance v in the market but a'so from narrow- ' ing of price differences between grades. Before the war. i.;cr dir y lerences between grades were usual-11 ly l-8c to l-4c. On account of the U unusual demand for high grades jc during and after the war, differences! widened to 2c to T?c pel" pound be ^ tween grades. However, these dif ' ferences have narrowed to l-2c to 1c * and will probably continue to nar- ' row from time to time, making the * grades below middling worth more ^ even though middling remains un- J, changed. J. As stated above, little can bo lost * by holding cotton on this low market, and there is a chance to make a great deal. TO HETPBUY FEEDER CATTLE : Clemson College.?It has been the plan of the Extension Service in the past to aid the South Carolina farmers in securinc feeder mtHo '>?,i .. i representative of tho Kxtension Ser- c vice experienced in .judicium and so* e lectin# cattle for feeding purposes t lias been sent each year to western i North Carolina and cast Tennessee r ^ during late August or early Septem-'T aauM ' * , si if \ * \tp ''//</ V ~<st0 Wf4 in i^v I' Big line of Ladies' ? : I Wear always on hand from tions, at remarkably low pri< this line. CGX-LJ T er to locate and buy cattle for South Carolina farmers. It is the ntention of the Extension Service to ontinue this plan and send a man his year if prospective steer feeders >f the state so desire. The expenses of this specialist are torne by the men for whom he buys.' Phis had been at a great' saving to he individual buyers for it really neans that the expenses of buying or each man are very low, someimes running as low as 20 to 25 ents per animal purchased. Since there is going to be in South Carolina quite a quantity of feed this 'ear, and since feeder cattle appear o be cheap, a number of requests lave already been received from farners asking that cattle be bought or them this winter for feeding. The ihinial husbandry division of the) Extension Service would be glad to tear promptly from any farmers vho desire assistance in this respcet.

If there is any foundation whatsoever for the recent statements concerning the sudden incroase of pellagra in the South, there is need for our people to be reminded of certain mcts concerning the cause civ1 prevention of the disease.

Those who live during the winter months on a food supply limited essentially to bolted wl-eat flour, determinated corn meal, polished rice, starch, sugar, molasses and fat pork, and take little or no milk or leafy vegetables, furnish the vie-1 tims of this dreaded disease in the spring when their vitality is 'ow. such a diet seems to nalce them [susceptible to infection." o C>f>(> cures Malaria, Chills and Fever, Bilious Fever, Cclus and LaGrirue. money refunded.-?f.dv. o QIKSTIONS AM) ANSWERS * From Specialists' Correspondence With Farmers. What is the trouble with the peach leaves I am enclosing??J. K. F., Fort Motto. They arc infected with a bacterial disease known as black spot. It passes the winter on affected leaves and twigs. The best control measures are to rake and burn infected leaves and to trim out and burn all affccted twig;: before growth starts in the spring. Fertilization with a nitrogenous fertilizer has also been found to be beneficial. What about low grade tobacco and tobacco trr.as fertilizer??W. O. I)., Conway. Analysis of this material shows it! to contain from 2 to 2 1-2 percent of nitrogen, from (> to 8 per cent potash, and to 5 percent phosphoric acid. The composition varies considerably. This would make this material worth as fertilizer perhaps $20.00 a ton, provided the land to which it is to l>e applied is greatly in need of potash. o ?
