Lu (irons County hue had a meet iog of farmers to discuss the ad vanoo in th? prme of fertilizer* and a meeting of Spartanburg farmers ha* been called to meet salesday in December. If the discussion in these meetings tend to enlighten the farmers they will do good. If thev arouse his ani tmofiitv against the manufacture* of fertilizers and cause him to talk and act foolishly then they! will do harm. Turn on the light and aee how the matter stands. The farmers claim that the present prices arei t( o high and out of proportion to| rue price or raw material. I He manufacturers pay rhat price* were too low last year and that they could not continue to turu out goods at former prices. There is no law to force them to sell at a lower price nor in there a law to force farmers to use their goods. Then the only thing the farmer can do is to protest against the present prices. Then the manufacturer and the consumer may be brought together aud in a friendly and business wav talk over the situation. Wrangling over high prices and abusing trusts will bring no relies. STUDY THFPF FIOURK8. In order that the farmer may understand the actual valne of the fertilizers they buy the following prices, estimated for 1903, may be a guide. There haH ^been no material change this fall. From the Georgia Bulletin, No. 40, published under the supervision of Hon. O. B. Stevens, com missioner of agriculture, we take the following report, spot cash in 500 ton lota or more : Available I'hos. Acid 3 ?-ta. per lb. Nitrogen 15cts per lb Potash 44 44 44 44 Ammonia u ' 4* * The price may alio be estimated by unite. A unit manna 1 per cent, of a ton or 20 poundi. For instance in the standard fertilizer known as 8, 2, 2, those fienre? rep resent the units. If there ia only one ingredient as in aoid phosphate the per cent, indicates the unita: Phosphoric Aoid 60 oti. per unit. Potash 86 " 44 Nitrogea 3.00 * 11 44 Ammonia 2.58 44 44 "J No* take the ataudard fertili ^ zer8,2, 2 That means 240 pounds of plant food and 17CO pouudn o! filler, generally worthless. If y?'U will multiply these units by rbo price here civen you will find iillii lilt) tuu OOOlHlll - $11.60 A'uith ol plant food, at wholesale^ rates at port of entry. Ad l the aver age freight lor the ud country, which ih about $2 40, aud the ' price will be $14. Or take a high grade acid potash, 10, 4, and you | v* ill hi ill Hit1 cost at port $0.40. Addiugtbe freight it willbe$11.80 I'he ca-h price of Itie latter is $10 which allows the manufacturer $4.20 tor mixing, sacking, handling and interest. These figures are giyt-n in order that farmers may intelligently discuss the fertilizer question. TilK C1IKAPKK PLAN. Manufacturers cannot afford to , handle, mix and sack and ship thousands ol tons ot filler, worth lees to the farmer, without pay. , 11 is better to purchase concentrated plant, food and do your own filling if any is needed. 'Take the follow ing formula : 1,000 lbs 14 per cent. Acid Phos. i 100 " Muriate of Potash 400 *' Cotton seed meal, llore is a mixture of 1,500 lbs-, j that will cost sf 13 80 agaiust $15 < for the sarue quantity of the 8, 2, 2 fertilizer which contains only 180 pounds of plant food against 230 in other mixtiure. So with all the grades. Buy the highest ! grade acid you can get and then buy kaiuit or muriate of potash and do your own mixing. Convert your cotton seed into meal. < If you wish a filler h-rul well ret i ted vegetable matter from the i woods, or creek banks, or the ; scrapings of the lot, which will ; not only add bulk, but plant food. An admirable cheap mixture for corn or cotton either is the following: 2,000 lbs. 14 per cent acid G,000 " 3 loads stable or cow ma uure. 200 " Muriate of Potash, or 800 " Kaimt. The cost of the above,not counting the stable manure and mixing and pulverizing, would be $18 to $20. Apply 800 pounds of the above to the acre after thorough preparation of the soil. Any farmer who keeps two or three ' horses, three cows, several pigs ' and 30 Irons ought to make 20,000 ' pounds of good manure each 1 year. By adding 3 tons of 14 per ' cent, acid phos ph ate and 800 lbs. r of muriate of potash he will have 1 fetilizer enough for 30 acres at m ' cost of $00, not including the 1 ? b : ...... 1 Cures Blood and Skin Diseases ' Itching Humors, Eczema, 1 Scrofula, Etc. j Send no money?simply write ' and try Botanic Blood Balm at ; our expeuse.

One ton of need, 66 bushels, in worth at present pricea of fertilizer*, about $12. Every one who has wisely used need as a manure has had good results. If the farmer should exchange his seed at $12 a ton and get 1,000 pounds of meal for his ton of seed, he would make nothing, but lose the hauling of the Reed to the mill. In xchanir log seed for meal the farmer should g*t 1,500 pounds of meal lor one ton of seed. He would not be making much then. But how does the oil mill account stund? One ton of souud seed will made the following: 40 gals crude oil at 25c $10 00 740 lbs meal at $2 20 8 88 40 " lintors at 3c 1.20 900 " hulls 25 2 25 i Total value ... - $22.33 Taking these values as about correct the tanner ought to re ceive 23 to 16 cents a bushel for seed.

Secretary Wilson of the national dedartmont of agriculture re ports that no check haw been given to the Texas boll weevil and that it will soon cross the Sabine river and then move east ward across the Mississippi mid invade the cotton States on the Atlantic. What are the farmers to do? it it cannot be preveuted then they must diversify their products and prepare for the worst. Being forewarned they aught to get ready now. They cau do this by turning their attention to small grain, corn, hay aud cattle. Sow down, or rather plant, Bermuda grass so as to increase the pasture acreage. Begin that work now. Do not wait un til the enemy is at the door, or rather in the cotton field. Plant ibout eight acres to the horse in cotton in all the Piedmont eonn. try, h?it prepare that and manure in such a way that it will make a hale to the acre of an average fear. If the weevil does not come that method wili give more otton to the horse than is uow made, and then the corn, hay and mall grain will come in aa money navera. Do not risk all 011 cotton.
