PLAN FOR FUTURE CALLS FOR ECONOMY--COW PEAS SHOULD BE PLANTED NOW. DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of South Carolina People. Gathered Around the State Capital. C olumbia. Planting of cow peas for fertilizer and exercise of 'conomuv in prepara tion for the coning of the boll weevil and to meet war conditions are two rouses emphatically urged by David R. Coker of Hartsville. chairman of the State defense council. "The state council of defense wishes to call attention to several features on the present and prospective situation which seem to call for thoughtful con sideration by all of the people of the state, but especially by the farmers." says Mr. Coker. "Tremendous advances have recent ly taken place in fertilizer materials and especially in ammoniates. Tank age, cotton seed meal and dried blood are already so high that it is doubtful whether they can be profitably used as fertilizing materials. This is be cause these materials are more and more being used as food for live stock, being substitutes to some extent for I corn, wheat bran and other materials which can be used for human food. Sulphate of ammonia, which has been largely used for fertilizers, is almost entirely off the market, being required by the government for the manufac ture of munitions. it is altogether probable that next spring the average farmer will be unable to buy any source of ammonia except nitrate of soda, which is now nearing $100 per ton with a possible further advance. There is no certai'ity that even this material can be obtained in adequate quantities as it is also used largely in munitions of war. "This situation seems to call for the planting of every acre of stubble land and all vacant corn middles to cow peas which is the only available leg ume for planting at this season. Later on, September 15 to October 15 it will be advisable to plant cover crops in all of the cotton. "The farmer who understands the situation now and takes all possible steps to meet it in advance may he able to carry on his operations next year without contracting fertilizer bills so heayy as to endanger his prof its. The . farmer who 'takes no thought for the morrow' will ho in a very different position and may taco a situation next spring out of which he will be unable to figure a living. "We trust the people of -the state will carefully consider the above stu ation caused' by the prosaective slort age and high prices of ferflier ae4i will take all possible steps to lesset', the threatened danger' to our agricul ture.
