Courtney Dunkel Nitrate of Soda Imports Show Increase R EPORTS from Chile indicate that the current nitrate year which ends June 30th will be one of tfie most prosperous In the hletory of the nitrate of soda Industry. Approxi mately 3,000,000 tons of this fertilizer material will be exported to all parts of the world during the twelve months. Consumption of nitrate of soda in this country has increased 65 per cent during the fiscal year. f Sales made for delivery to the UniteduStates prior to June 30th total 1,116,000 tons as com pared wltl^ 754,277 tons In 1926-1927. Europe, #fHch for a time cut down on her buying of Chilean nitrate, has again become a heavy consumer and her imports increased 47 per cent “ Herbert C. Rrewer, Director of the Chilean Nitrate of Soda Educational Bureau in this country, flays the re markable strides made by nitrate of soda furnirh proof of the satiflfaction it has given farmers everywhere, but particularly in the South, where it ia used chiefly on cotton and corn.

Clemson Plan of Early Hatching, Cars* ful Brooding and Plentiful Feed Put Eggs on High Market r The early bird, when reared without disease or pest, lays eggs for the high-price market, but the bird that catches worms early in life stands mtle chance of maturing in time for the biggest prices or of ever laying heavily, according to members of the Poultry Division of t^lemson College. Experiences of many poultrymen in South Carolina bear out this opinion. Altogether too many poultrymen ha^tch late and when the birds wait until the peak of the market is passed to begin laying and then fail to lay their right ful allowance of eggs because they were weakened with worms while young and weak. L. G. Neel, exten sion poultry specialist at Clemson College finds. The Clemson plan of brooding is designed to eliminate these faults. The Atlantic' Coast Line- Clemson .College Livestock Develop ment Train will carry a Clemson type brooder house and brood a flock of chicks by the Clemson plan while tour ing South Carolina. Since the hen’s natural laying sea son comes in spring and early summer eggs are plentiful at that time and scarce in early fall and winter. So al lowing 6 or 8 months for Ijted or Rock Pullets to mature,-thoie'j»Hatched in March wHl be laying before November, as will Leghorns or light breeds hatched in April. Surplus cockerels wttl also reach the best prices on the broiler market. Later birds fun into hot weather that slows growth, with more prevalent parasites and both broilers and eggs miss early good prices. It is furthermore a w r ell- knowm fact that most mature chick ens have worms. Chicks are gener ally brooded with the Q,ld flocks^r on ground that bid birds have ranged over and dropped w'orm eggs, on, and, becoming infested while weak, they never develop vigor necessary for heavy laying. Those that mature un infested are not greatly damaged by worms later. George W. Croft, of Aiken county, one spring bought 500 baby chicks on March 9, brooded them with a good brooder on clean range, fed them plenty of rations that asUre continu ous. vigorous growth, and after sell ing 189 broilers he had 169 mature pullets ready to lay In early fall that had cost only 47 cents apiece. M. B. Henderson, a successful rens county poultryman, brooded 265 baby chicks the first two weeks by rigid adherence to the Cjemson plan of clean range, a good house and feed for a quick start wdth the result that only one died. Mrs. E. E. Roberts, of Monticello, Fairfield county, brooded -121 ba;Eiy chicks to three w’eeks ag^e this spring with only one loss and the birds were quite a bit heavier than average for the age, using the same method. The Clemson College poultry plant started 3,800 chicks this spring and early in May, when they ranged from a few days to seven w'eeks old only 6.3 per cent had died, many of them by acci dents. They were making rapid growth on rations of hard-boiled eggs and sour milk five times daily for the first week, after which was added to their menu, a mash of 20 pounds of yellow corn, 20 pounds of wheat middlings, 20 pounds of wheat bran, five pounds of meat scrap, five pounds of bone meal and three-fourths of a pound of salt. Equal parts of the mash and cracked yellow corn are mixed and kept in clean troughs before the chicks all the time, for the more they eat, the faster they growl Being Christians * “Daniel purposed in his heart.” That’s the trouble with a great many many people; they purpose to dc right, but they only purpose in their heads, and that doesn’t amount tc much. If you are going to he Chris tians, you must purpose to serve God away down in your hearts. “With the heart man believeth unto righteous- ness.”—IX L.
