PLAN FOR FUTURE
CALLS FOR ECONOMY--COW PEAS
SHOULD BE PLANTED NOW.

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.
