LIVESTOCK MANURE IS A SPLENDID LAND BUILDER Climson College, Sept. 4.—Herein lie* the secret of a profitable live stock farm: The soil is gradually made better and slowly but surely the crop yields get larger, so that as the yearg pass it become]* easier to make a living on the farm rather than hard er. So says L. V.' Starkey, head of the animal husbandry department, citing instances of soil building thru livestock.

The manure had increased the fertility and organic matter so much that the soil was very productive. Two peach growers from different sections of the State remarked that their yields of peaches had been more than doubled by the application of manure from steers which had been fed during the winter. A survey of the five-acre cotton and corn contests shows that a large percentage of the winpers have made liberal applications of manure. “And yet we are face to face with the fact that manure from livestock is exceedingly scarce in South Caro lina,” Prof. Starkey comments. “All are agreed that we need to grew more feed crops and market these feeds through livestock. “We do not claim that manure is the only fertilizer needed for better yields, but it certainly is one of the most satisfactory ways of improving the land and marketing the home grown feeds.** Decpie Sentinel
