To one who is not quite sure about his ferti lizers, a little figuring will show that 100 pounds cf nitrogen s can be sup plied with the equivalent of 400 lbs. of sulphate of ammonia; 128 pounds of phosphorous can come from 1280 pounds of 16 per cent, acid; and 160 pounds of potash can either come from 800 pounds of 20 per cent, kainit or from 320 pounds of muriate of pctasfc. “Considering experimental results with commercial fertilizers,” con tinues Mr. Underwood, “present in formation indicates that nitrogen and potash are used in'larger quantities than is phosphorous. On many soils, especially the sandy and iandy loam soils, a 1-1-2 ratio should be satisfac tory, applied at the rate of 75 to 100 pounds cf nitrogen, 75 to 100 lbs. of phosphorous, anfl 150 to 200 lbs. of potash.” (A 4-8-12—Nit-Phos- Potash at the rate of 1,500 pounds per acre supplemented with 400 lbs. of nitrate of soda will approximate this treatment.) “Other commercial fertilizers that are satisfactory in clude 5-8-7 and 5-8-8 (Both N-P-K.) These mixtures contain really more phosphorous than is needed.” As to time of application of ferti lizers Mr. Underwood advises “sup plying the phosphorous and potash and a part of the nitrogen in the early spring in order that it may be Lizzie M.

Boy’s Loyalty Frees Father Held for Theft Danville, 111.—The loyalty of a ten- year-old boy to his father, In Danville, 111., enabled the father to gain his freedom from jail and made the son one offthe town’s best-known and most-beloved characters.

He asserted Jhe owner had wrecked the machine after a drinking bout and sold it to him for $25. The boy, Ernest, trudged several miles Into Danville from their home, In Sanders. Ky., and when his father went to jail stuck right with him. In the morning he called at the home of District Attorney Paul Jones and pleaded his father’s case with the composure of a trained advocate. Impressed, the prosecutor redoubled his investigation. It was found that the motor number Of the automobile had been changed before It fell Into Chaplin’s hands, a fact which react ed to the credibility of his story and against the complaint All of this required nearly two months, and in the meantime Danville had a problem on Its hands For days Ernest refused to leave his father's side. He slept and ate at the jail. Finally officials obtained a newspaper route for him, and he was Induced to stay at the home of a woman deputy clerk. When the father was freed of the chal-ge the two, with money and wardrobe given by the boy’s friends, left Danville in search- of employ ment.

Attorneys-at-Law BROWN-BUSH BUILDING BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA PRACTICE IN STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS • > Last week there came to my desk, a new bulletin from Ccrneil University, which every asparagus growei should have. Thi s bulletin entitled “Aspara gus Culture” and written by F. C. Underwood, is a very comp.ete trea tise on the crop from seed to market. I feel sure that a great many aspara gus farmers will not write for this bulletin, so I am jotting down a few of the high points which are of great interest to me. About pruning off roots preparatory to planting, Mr. Underwood states that root pruning i? not a goofl prac tice, and he gives a table which proves his statement. In 1925 the yield was 301 pounds from a given plot where the roots were ptuned, and 573 pounds wheie they were not. In 1926 the first plot gave him 2,082 pound? and the unpruned roots gave 2,294 pounds, a reduction of 272 pounds the first year and 212 pounds the second year.

Applications of complete fertilizers made at the end of the cutting season may not be so effective owing to lack of moisture to dissolve the fertilizer. This is probably more true of the phosphorou s than it is of either the nitrogen or the potash.” Liming asparagus soils gives good results when the crop is grown on acid soils. The use of common table salt, in response to a popular belief that it is beneficial, is not Essential, because ch'orine, the element predomi nant in table salt is found in kainit and in muriate of potash. For weed control, some growers use 1,500 ibs. per acie. With regard to the care of the bed duiing the^ cutting season, a wheel hoe is recommended for bed cultiva tion. “About the middle of the cut ting season, ‘a wheel hoe to control weeds in the row. The tip s are cut rather close, and the wheel hce with knife attached i? run up the iow cut ting off all weeds and volunteer plants. This operation destroys some of the tips, but the los? is offset by the ease in controlling the weeds and in the reduction o£ hand labor.” There are several paragiaphs in the bulletin on harvesting and grading, which,make interesting reading, but the next item which strikes the eye is a title’ “Factors Influencing the Price of Asparagus.” This statement I am copying intact for your en lightenment. in studies on the Bostcn wholesale market, found that on the basis cf 200 records the most important measurable quality i factors influenceing the price of as paragus were: (1.)
