Columbia, March 6.-The ge'neral assembly of -outh Carolina adjonirn. ed sine die at eight thirty -o'clock this morning, after having continued the. custoshary session of forty days. The general appropriations bill'for state purposes carries six million, five hundred and thirty-four thous and, nine hundred and twenty-five dollars and eighty 'two cents. This requires a levy of eleven and one half mills on all property. . In addition to this there is 'a levy of one-half mill for The Citadel, in Charleston, which is being rebuilt. Only a few state-wide measures of importance were .enacted. Among these were the state-wide stock law which wipes out the "free range" in a half dozen costal counties; provis ion for women to enst their ballots in the Democratic primaries; and raising the age of consent from 14 to 16 years. A resolution was adopted by the two houses ab the closing hour this morning leaving it optional with the counties if they wished to annul the two-mill levy for permanent highway building, as provided last year.

Wh~ile the .editor of a certain news palper was awvay from home for awhile he l.eft the paper in .charge of a minister of the gospel. During the nlinister's stay in the office the fol lowing letter came from a subscriber: "I know very well that I paid my sub. scription to your paper the last tim~e [ was in your office. if I get any more letters from you as I received last week I will come in and maul h-l out of you." The minister an swered the notle like this: "I have been trying to get that out of the ediitor for ten years, and if you will come down and maul it out af 'him then, dear sir, I have thirty niem bers of my church I will lo6 'you op erate on,"----E.

I laugh and shout, for life is goo, Though my fort are set in sileni ways In merry mood I leave the crowd To walk in ny garden. Ever as I walk I gather fruits and flowers in my hands, And with joyful heart I bless the sur That kindles all the place with radi ant life, I run with playful winds that blow the scent Of rose and jessamine in eddying whirls; At last I come where tall lillies grow, Lifting their faces like white saints to God. While the lilies pray, I kneel upon the ground, I have strayed into the holy temple of the Lord. -Helen Keller. When I read this beautiful poem written by Helen Keller, a feeling of unworthiness came over me. I real ized how unworthy I was, with eyes that could see, ears that could .hear, and a tongue that could speak of th3 great evidences of God's goodness. With ears to hear, how often I was deaf to the voice that told me of God's love for me. And with the gift of speech, I so often refrained from writing the words of thanksgiv ing to a God whose goodness is past understanding. And since reading this poem, which I give to you I feel as never before that we should re dedicate our lives to Him who gave his all for us, and that our plans for the 1921 Thanksgiving should be so planned that while we are planning for the home-coming of our own loved ones, beautifying the home and getting everything in "apple pie" or der, each one of us should plan for the pleasure of at least one other person. While thinking of our own pleasure, think of the many shut in, of those who are lonely and sick, of those in the hospitals, of the sad, desolate old people in our alms houses (and of those tragic alms houses in the different counties in our state). Think of the unfortun ate ones in prisons, and think, too, that our Lord said, "Brethren, if any man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual restore such an one in' a spirit of weakness, consider ing thyself, also lest thou be tempt ed" Think of the man who is mark ed by the convict stripes; think that he is still some mother's son and that "once he was pure es the driven snow as he knelt at his mother's knee." And that perchance that same mother is today crying out in agony, "Where is my wandering boy?" We cannot afford to do less than to resolve that as God( has blessed us we will be a blessing to some one else, and1( with a thankful heart we will rememaber that "It is more bless ('d to) give than to receive.'' Rt. H. HI. SECRETARY WALLACE APPEALS TO ALL TO TRY TO HELP FARMER. Washington, March 12.-An ap p'eal for "every good citizen" to do wvhat he can to help the farmers thr'ou;h the p: 2riod cf depression, not for the sake of helping the farmer alone, but "for the sake of helping himself," was madec today by Secre tary of Agriculture Wallace' in his first formal statement. Pricas of farm products must rise and pr1ices of other prodlucts come dlown before the normal relations be tweeni them has been restored, Mr. Walace' asserted. Talk of bringing prica~s back to a pre-war level, he'de clared, "is morally wrong and econo mically impossible," add~ing that "everybody would be better off" if an effort were made to bring about a price level" say 70 per cent above the pre-war normal. Secretary Wallace said he doubt ed whether the people in the east realize just wvhat has happened to the farmers of the producing sections." Citing c onditiong in the central west as an example, he said that therer,-notwithstanding that "we have the finest rural civilization, taken as a whole, the world has evei seen," ths farmers are now in "a most try ing period andl are suffering severe financial losses." F"armers through out the nation, especially thosis Ir the south and west, he added, "are ex periencing exactly the same trouble," This widespread agricultural di e pression results fro the'high cost '. production. dnd because farm pro. duets have dropped "oat of all pro. portion" to the prices et othez thiags, Mr. Wallace said; The -department, the' secretary said, w-oakt do everything possible "t And an ouleot for the gt foood sur. plus.

Short. cspps Tr American Fertiliser of February 12, 1921, has tiis to say ab fertilizer in South Carolinas "What South Carolina Farmers say: al "An 8-3-3 and an 8-4-4 fertilizer are general favorites in South C lina, though some others are used with success. The applications of best farmers vary from 600 to 1,000 pounds per acre and e increase fr 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of seed cotton per acre. "Typical reports from South Carolina farmers are as follows: "A. G. Clarkson, Wateree, uses 600 pounds of a 10-4-2 broadcast fore planting and applies 100 pounds of nitrate of soda as a top dressi He gets 1,500 pounds of seed cotton per acre. "R. H. Belser, Sumnierton, usually applies 500 to 800 pounds o 8-3-3 fertilizer under the crop and uses 100 to 200 pounds of nitroge top dress, applied half June 1st and half July 1st. His yield is about 1 pounds of seed cotton per acre. "P. B. Day, Jr., Trenton, applies 700 pounds of an 8-3-3 in furrow top dresses with nitrogen at the rate of 150 pounds applied half June and half July 1st. Obtains 1,500 and more pounds'of seed cotton per a "James S. Culbreth, Johnston, uses an 8-3-3 fertliizer; applying to 1,000 pounds in the drill before planting; side dresses with nitrate of s and kainit when cotton is 6 to 10 inches high. He gets.1,200 to 2, pounds of seed cotton pler acre. "Wade H. Herring, Marion, uses a 9-4-2; applies 800 pounds and pounds of nitrogenous top-dresses. He gets 1,500 pounds of seed co per acre. "A. A. Barnes, Hartsville, applies 800 to 900 pounds of an 8-4-4 b planting and top-dresses with a 4-7 1-2-0 at the rate of 150 to 200 po" per acre. He gets 1,200 to 1,500 pounds of seed -cotton per acre. A. H. Ward, Darlington, applies 800 to 1,000 pounds of an 8-3-3, usi about three-fifths at planting time and -balance as side dressing in t applications. He gets about 1,500 pounds of seed cotton per acre. "J. J. Lawton, Hartsville, applies 1,000 pounds of an 8-3-3, uses 10 200 pounds of nitrogenious top-dressing and gets 1,400 to 1,800 pound seed cotton per acre. "M. W. Buffington, Saluda, R. F. D., No. 2, applies 700 pounds of 8-3-3 or 8-4-4' before planting and uses 150 to 200 pounds of 5-8-0 side dresser, applied about July 1st. He gets about 1,500 pounds of s cotton per acre. "W. D. Holstein, Batesburg, applies 600 pounds of an 8-4-4 and pounds of nitrate of soda and gets 1,500 pounds and' more of seed co per acre. "D. S. Yates, Lykesland, uses. 70Q pounds of a 6-4-2 with one under the row and the balance as a side dressingaftii' chopping. 100 to 200 pounds of nitrogenious top dressing is given in June or His yields are 1,500 pounds of seed cotton per acre. - "A. E. Brock, Summerton, applies 800 pounds of an 8-4-4 or 8-3 which 600 pounds is put under the row and 200 pounds used as a application. Either a 4-7 1-2-2 or nitrate of soda is used as a top dres in addition. His yields are 1,500 pounds of seed cotton per acre." You will -hotice that these farnmers live in sections of the state w the scasons are longer than ours, the summer is earlier and the fall is I which gives the cotton plant more time to mature. This 8--3-3 and brings splendid results there, but up here, where the seasons are sho we recommend our 10-3-3 or 10-3-0 as a 10 per cent goods will mak ton mature and-open earlier than an 8 per cent goods, and if -you re Coker's article, which was reproduced in the Daily Mail on the 19Oth he states that it was unprofitable to raise more cotton than could be ga before bad weather set in. He stated that low grade cotton not on not pay the coqj of production'but that it caused good white cotton f or less than It was worth. White cotton would bring more if it we for this low grade stuff, he stated moreover that it would pay any to use $12.00 to $15.00 worth of fertilizer to the acre of cotto knows you 'must use fertilizer to make good crops and he knows you get out of the hole by making short crops. Th~e salvation of this country depends upon increasing productio acre, not reducing it. Experiment stations have proven that one po high grade well mixed goods will make one pound and more of seed which means that money spent for fertilizer pays from 300 to 500 pe on the investment. We will not get out of the hole we are in losing of that sort. There wvere no profits in farming last year, but we had a year like that before and may never have another. We have make a living, and w'e want something more lihan a living, and we m business to get it. If the British and French had given up when were going heavily against them in 1914, 1915, 1916 and 1917 they would have won dut. The cotton acreage will be reduced this year. When this is do farmer . will put his best lands in cotton and it will pay any fa use 400 lbs. of our high grade fertilizer on every acre of his bes The more you make to the acre the less it will cost you, and the you can sell if; and make a profit. We understand an impression that fertilizer wvill be sold for can~ only.'~ We have a very good s of high grade goods that we wii' sell for fall payment to good p paying customers. We have never made a better fertilizer than we now and we don't believe anybody else ever did. We have the goo hantd. Anderson Phosphate .a Oil Co. W. F. FARMER, Secretary.
