The association is already assured of more money than it will need for financing the crop, it was said by offfficials. Money in abundance and at good terms has been offered it by the Money in abundance and at good terms has been offered it by the South Carolina banks, the Wai Finance Corporation and by banking inst.ituations in other sections of the country. The financial problem wa> one of the easiest to solve, it wa. said. None of the state-wide cotton co operative associations have experienced any difficulty n arranging for money this fall. The War Finance Corporation has approved advances aggregating $60,000,000 to them, and all of them have been flooded with offers for money from other sources. Officials of the association point to this as proof ot the fact that, in financial circles the cooperative marketing idea is looked upon with the greatest favor as being fundamentally sound.

The association assurded!y will protect its rights in the matter." If there have been any violations of the cunt)act in Florence or Timmonsville, they are not known generally. Reports are current from othei markets oI violations of the contract. However, as Dr. Joyner says, many of these mil i be discounted as the last resort to disrupt the association. Still officers of the association seem to recognize that there have been breaches of the contract in some instances. Mr. Sapiro was in New N oik at present. Officers ol the association, including President George Norwood, have been conferring in Florence on the question of handling promptly and effectively every violation of the agreement. Friends of the association believe that if tkie association enforces stiingently the provisions of the contract, with reference to its violation, the permanency of the organization is assured. It must be proved binding, however, Iveports have been received from Lake City, Mullins, Dar lington, Marion, anU some ol I lie ie\\ other markets with independent warehouses, that indicate the public generally recognizes the organization I.as ,.e i.,i...ii?..

The conclusions of h i he experiments are summed up in che following paragraphs: cj 1. Application of fertilizer carry- \v !ng large amounts of phosphoric acid a have a residual effect which lasts a for several yeaifc. o Phosphoric acid is the tirst limit- ti ing factor on this particular soil and g gives a larger increase in crop yield a than any other one element alone. 3. Nitrogen is the second limiting factor and gives material increase in yield of cotton. ? 4. Potash gave a small increase ^ in yield on some plots but is of doubtful value, when all plots are considered. c 5. Lime gave a slight reduction in yield when used with acid alone and a slight increase when used with a complete fertilizer. It does not seem ^ that it would pay to use lime on y this soil for the production of cot- /. ton alone. (>. Acid phosphate and blood combined gave better results than any other combination of two elements. 7. Eight tons of stable manure (j and three hundred pounds of acitll ! it * t: "'Uliri ic.^uu^ I Hill I any other treatment used. 8. The plots which have maintained * a high yield to the last were ferti- ^ li^ed with heavy applications of acid t phosphate and ammonia, and generally have had some potash applied also. 9.

Ci. Cushman, extension daiiyinn, is a high mortality rate in oung dairy cattle. Summing up tii2 *use for this death rate, he ia>3, le trouble may be attributed *o ,vo causes, first unsanitary feeding lethods, and second not enorgh at?ntion paid to the amount of food iven young calves. The lattei clause pplys to calves fed upon si immei 1 ilk which, he continued, is t.^e proer method of raising calves if ir,illigent feeding practices aie fol>wed . Mr. Cushman stated that the nuse for this high mortality rate as due to the presence of scaurs mong young dairy calves espec ally, nd said that scours was causH i'rom ver-feeding or feeding in unsan*ary food vessels. He give; jomc uiding miles to follow in crier to void getting scours in the herd. Feeding "After three or four days the alves should be taken from tae cow. 'or tlie first two weeks it should e fed on whole milk and during he third week this should be gradally changed to skimmed milk, fcach alf should be fed separated" in * lean pail and the pail should be leaned after the calf has been fej 11 order to keep down the scours. )o not feed the calf as much as it fill drink at each feeding as overeeding is another fause of the disase. The calf should certainly not xceed over two gallons of miiic daily intil six weeks eld. A gradual inrease should be made as the calf evelopes. Skimmed miik feedng hould usually c< ntinue for six or ight months and calves fed by hand hould he allowed to remain in the tanchion for an .hour or two after eeding time. This will prevent hem sucking each * other's ears or idders. When this precaution is leglected the young calves' uddoii nay be entirely ruined 01 the calf nay develop the habit of sucking tself after maturity. "At the age of two months conce.irates should be fed in -ma imounts. The best concentrates to eed young calves is a mixirue of iqual parts of ground com, oats unci vneat bran. At the age of two nonths it should get one pound of :oncentrates per day of grain which hould never be fed in skil l milk. It is also advisable to feed a little lay along with the grain ration. "In case that scours develop thf; eeds should be cut entirely off at me whole day and then th;? weed gradually increased, taking from hree to four days to get the caJi >aek on full feed. It is a wfse idea o place the calf affected i|i a separite stall for two or -three wee'.cv vhere it can be observed closely Common scours should be distin ;;uished from contagious or white scours, which is aJso called calf iholera, due to a naval infection sr,on ifter birth. A calf rarely recovev:< from the latter disease. In ordsr to prevent white scours the < all" hould be drooned in clean iiv#?rr; nd it is a good idea to moisten r.a'ai .horoughly with some good disinfectant, such as a weak solution Dreolii., bichloride of mercury or iodine." Mr. Cushman stated that if Sovth Carolina dairymen would i'ollov. a ane and satitary method of handing the young dairy calves, as outined above, that i would rid the country of the worst fault of he? tairy cattle, that of undersized. Another reason, he added, for undersized cows is breeding whan too young and stated that if farmers 111 realize that the young growing heifer is to be the producing cow he will take more pains and care f the young growing stock. o ************************** '1- H? % Ay nor Items. * * !f ************************** Miss Estell Best returned last week from Rock Hill, where she } a? been visiting relatives since sui-.rrei' school closed there.
