BACK TO FARM

many and Russia? That Sudan grass
that is growing with us in popular
favor, is a foreign importation? Our
idea of soil fertility has befn entirely
revolutionized by the introduction
practically of all our leguminous crops
except cowpeas. Such for instance as
soy beans, velvet beans, the clovers,
the vetches, etc. The discovery of the
little bacteria that gathers nitrogen
from the air constitutes a new source
of wealth that will last as long as the

enjoying our morning juicy grape
fruit give a thought to the scientific
man who patiently labored to bring
forth this delicious appetizer? How
many of us realize that the man who
introduced the improved variety of
figs, prunes .and dates rode on the
back of a camel hundreds of miles in
the deserts of the Far East. Take
your mind back for twenty years and
recall the character of fruit then offered
you, especially the peach and
the apple. They were small, wormy,
knotty, and compare %them with the
peach .and the apple of today and you
will naturally ask why the difference.
Easily answered because the scientific
man has made it possible to control
certain diseases of the peach and the
apple by the use -of a spray worked
out by many years of experimentation.
The plant pathologist of today
is out by many years of experimentation.
The plant pathologist of today
is making as much progress ii
controlling the disease of our plants
as the physician is making progress

Let us pass on and briefly state
what lias been accomplished in the development
of our animal husbandry.
Twenty years ago the annual death
rate in hogs from hog cholera in the
United States was from (? to 25 per
cent?the financial loss for the Unite?l
States in certain years amounted
to a hundred millions of dollars. The
scientific man perfected a serum and
virus that has practically made it
possible to control this disease. Likewise
tick fever and black leg can be
controlled. The invention of the refrigerating
car has done more to increase

of our dairy industry the Babcock

method by means of which the amount
of butter fat in milk>is determined.
The invention of the cream separator
which in a few minutes separates
the cream from the milk, which in
the old days required hours of time
for such .an operation. No country
in the world has made the progress
that we have in the control of insect
pests. In co-operation with engineers
the development of spray and dusting*
machinery in the last quarter of
a century is distinctly a great American
achievement. The orchardist
would be at the mercy of the San
Jose scale but for the modern spray
pump .and insecticides. The trucker
would be at the mercy of various leafeating
caterpillars and the various
underground pests. Our field crops
would from year to year be devastated

Legislation Knacted Favorable
to Agriculture.
The firs' official recognition of agriculture
was in 1839, when an appropriation
was, made to the commissioner
of patents of $1,000 for the
collection of statistics /.Mid distribution
of seed. In 1855 provision for a
scientific staff consisting of three investigators;
in 1802 the establishment
of a bureau of agriculture. Again in

Bureau of Agriculture was made a
department. In 1SD0 an appropriation
of $15,000 pc year, to be increased
to $25,000 in ten years foi

1802.
It will be observed from the toregoing
that little was done for agriculture
during the last century in the
way. of constructive legislation. In
fact it is within lie last ten yea is
that the minds of the economist ieg
i si a tors and the general husinese public
have been focused upon the needs
of agriculture, resulting in the passage
of the Smith-Lever Extension
Act, the Smith-Hug. ies Agricultural
Educational Act, the Farm Loan
Rank, the War Finance Corporation
and the Federal warehouse;
Dhring all this period of neglect,
notwithstanding the fact that his general
viewpoint is one of doubt and
suspicion, the farmer remained true
to the teachings of his l'alhc v, only
occasionally did he wander off and hecome
the willing pliant tool of the
demagogue. Today lie is coming into
his own, for the people le.ulizo now
as never before if there is to he any
race betterment of peauanont value
there must be a bettrmnt of the
ipasses. "A great nation is not ihe
outergrowth of a few men of genius,
but the superlative worth of a great
common people."
The Present Potential Agricultural
Power of South Carolina.
The potential agricultural power of
South Carolina is greater today than
any time in its history. I know this
is a startling statement; of course, I
appreciate the seriousness of the present
situation.
Let me sum up briefly my reasons
for stating that the potential agricultural
power of the state is gieater to-,
day than any time in its history.
1st. There has never been a time
[ in the history of the world when there
( was such ;x store of practical and useful
information for the guidance of
the .farmer as today.
2nd. There was never a time in
recent history when there was a greater
sympathy and a more general understanding
of the farmers' problems
K\? flio (ronprnl nuh.ip fh;m <nd:iv*
3d. There was never as much favorable
legislation enacted of a financial
and economic character in the interest
of agriculture as there is today.
1th. There is no soil that will lespond
to intelligent treatment more
readily than the soil of South Carolina.
5th. There is no country that can
produce as many soil building crops
as South Carolina and the adjacent

6th. There is no country that can
produce a greater number of nitrogenous
crops for forage than South
Carolina.
Tih. There is no country that can
produce a greater number of money
crops than South Carolina; namely,
cotton, tobacco, peanuts, sov beans.
sweet potatoes, and practically all the
truck crops in the lower counties.
Sth. There is no country that can
produce pork and daivv products fnore
economically than South Carolina, owing
to our ability to produce such va riety
of forage crops.
'Mh. There is no country that can
produce more profitably peaches,
crapes, and small berries than South (
Carolina.

PLANTING FOR FALL POTATOES I
Clemson College.?Those who would I
Lcrow a crop of fall Irish potatoes are . 1
reminded that the time to plant this 1
jrop for best success is from July 10 I
o about August 1. and that the Look- ]
out Mountain variety gives hegt re- '
-ults because of its good yield and
keeping cjuality. The following suggestions
are made bv the horticulture
specialists on methods of planting and
u'tivat ion.
Planting.? Moisture content and
previous preparation of the soil preletermine
the stand. Preparatory to
T inting it is well to reopen the fur
!'';ws rind to follow immediately (beVre
giving tho soil 'inv1 to lose any
M its ino'-tur0) by Iropping the tutors
or parts of tubers. 12 to I ! inches
'part. ! the !ri11 and co.x'ing to a
.optli of 3 to d inches, depending upon
eharnctei of 'bp soil, hcvier soils
leing planted more shallow than
ighter soils. Part- of cut tubers
should be as large as5 practicable.
Packing the s >il about fbo tubers
Mther by stepping hVht'v with a rubier
sole shoe or with the bare foot
lirectly upon the tuber when dropped,
>r by use of a debt roller following
levering with a plow, insures a
mob better stand. if the soil is sutTi jepPv
wo'l pulverized to prevent
to shine: 1 be tubers.
If tubers of the spring crop of the
anient year ave used for planting
bo second or fall crop. "soionting'*
ireparatory to planting: wiP bp very
lplpful in obtaining a stand. This is
ecomniopded only where it is not
jossible to get seed that have been
icld over in cold storage or othervise.
.and may be done by di v ing the
ubors by slacking in trays or shalow
piles in an open' shed excluding
be light for a period of ton to foureon
days, and then spreading them
ipon the ground in a cool, shady place
levered with straw to a depth of 3
o h inches and watering sufficiently
o saturate the straw but by no means
audi as to drench the tubers. P'.antng
should be done as soon as slight
sprouting begins.
Cultivation.? Frequent shallow culivntion,
either by harrowing across
>r with the rows, should be given at
ntervals or one week apart or as
oon after each rain as soil conditions
vill permit, until a good stand is ob
aincd; at lor which cultivation should
