Mr. Loadholt Used
Nitrate Of Soda
To Win Prize
FAIRFAX, Mar. 31.—N. B. Load-
holt of Fairfax, who won one of
the district prizes in the state
wide five-acre corn contest con
ducted by the extension service of
Clemson College last year, made
412.70 bushels of com on five acres
notwithstanding his prize plot
went through a severe drought.
The yield is considered remarkable
in view of the conditions.
Mr. Loadholt planted Douthit’s
prolific com on April 25 in four-
foot rows and stalks averaging a
little over one per foot. He used
no fertilizer at time of planting
bu? side-dressed liberally with a
mixed fertilizer when the corn was
three and five weeks old. He made
four applications of 100 pounds of
Chilean nitrate of soda per acre
when the corn was seven to eight
weeks old.
Diversification is practiced by
Mr. Loadholt, who does not believe
in putting all of his eggs in one
basket.

April Showers
Bring Egg Money
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Mar. 28.—
Records on 118 flocks during Feb
ruary show that 19,814 hens made
a naverage net profit of 20 cents
per bird, reports P. H. Gooding,
extension poultryman. These hens
ate 16 cents worth of feed and
laid 14 eggs each during the
month.
This income helps to contradict
the general opinion that when the
price of eggs drops in the spring
the flock loses money. Records
show that the birds make more
money in the spring than at any
other season, because the hens lay
more eggs at this time than during
the fall and winter months. The
demonstration records show that
the net profit per hen last Octo
ber, when eggs were selling for 45
cents a dozen, was only 1.8 cents,
while in November it was nine
cents, in December 11 cents, in
January 13 cents, and in February
20 cents. Hence, one can see that
the spring of the year is the nor
mal time for a high egg produc
tion and as a result the profit
above feed cost is high even
though the selling price of eggs is
low.'
Poultry keepers receiving the
highest egg production per hen in
the various classes were: Mrs. J.
B. Hill, Kathwood, best backyard
flock; Mrs. A. D. Zahler, Ridge-
land, best farm flock; and R. F.
Parker, Chesterfield county, best
commercial flock. L. J. Leffle-
man, Sumter, received the highest
egg production in the calendar
flock class.

A man who can’t keep his mind

about it very long.
Arthur Brisbane, highest paid
newspaper man in the world, tells
how he writes his weekly column,
nnder the title “This Week,” in an
interview with Merle Crowell of
he American Magazine, just is
sued.
Between 30,000,000 and 40,000,-
000 persons read his editorials,—a
quarter of all the men, women and
children in the United States. In
32 unbroken years of editorializing
he had turned out 20,000,000 words.
They would make 200 big books, a
library in themselves. His “This
Week” column, written for the
Western Newspaper Union, is pub
lished in 1200 newspapers.
A cub reporter at 19, Brisbane
became the New York Sun’s most
brilliant newswriter within a year,
its London correspondent within
two years, its editor at 23. Ten
years later he became editor of the
New York Journal, then a comnlete
failure with a circulation of 40,000
copies daily. Within four months
he built its circulation to 1,000,000
daily. His editorials struck a new
note in journalism and became the
feature of his paper.
He still ‘writes the editorials for
the New ^ork Journal. His salary
for this is $5,000 a week,—$260,000
a year, and he has enough outside
business interests and investments
to keep an average man busy. He
is now 66 years old.
“How much time do you spend
on your “This Week” Column?” Mr.
Crowell asked him.
“When I am in the office,” Bris
bane replied “I often dictate this
entire column, or my similar ‘To
day’ column, in 20 minutes. More
often it takes 30 minutes. Late ed
itions of papers I want to see are
brought to me at four-fifteen in
the afternoon. I have until quart
er of five to glance at these pa-
pears, do my dictating to a dictat
ing machine, and have the dicta
tion copied. A secretary goes with
me to the ferry. Riding across the
river, or on the car before my train
pulls out, I correct the copy. From
start to finish, my regular daily
column takes about three quarters
of an hour.
“I’m not proud of this. It’s a
facility that prevents better work.
When I was a young reporter I
could write, under pressure, about
two thousand words of longhand
an hour.
“That’s why I have never writ
ten anything worth while.
“I have no illusions about my#
editorials. Hundreds of writers
could do them, probably much bet
ter. But they’re afraid to write so
simply, about such simple things.”
“Is it true that you once wrote
forty editorials for the Journal in
half a day?”
“The exact number was thirty-
nine. I dictated them. It took
about three hours. I was going on
a vacation, and left copy to last
until my return.”
Brisbane’s “facility” could not
possibly account for all he ac
complishes if he had not made
time and circumstance his serv
ants. Even in his automobile he
has a dictating machine, which he
employs for personal correspond
ence and many of the editorials
outside the run of his daily column
On a normal day he dictates thirty
or forty letters and goes over many
others prepared by his secretaries.
Transcontinental train trips—
and he makes many of them—dc
oot hinder the flow of his daily
output. His stateroom is equipped
with the inevitable dictating ma-
•Jiine; a secretary with a typewrit-
;r and another dictating machine
occupies an adjoining room. Sta-
ions best equipped to handle tele
graph matter are on a prepared
schedule. The Pullman Company,
ootified in advance, makes fre*
(uent deliveries of newspapers
’resh from the presses of the par-
icular territory he is passing
hrough.
On his desk are several old fam-
ly photographs, his father, his mo-
her, his brother, and a picture of
he little frame school-house in
Tanwood, New Jersey, where he
went to school for 4 or 5 years
is a boy and where for a while he
taught Bible class on Sunday.
Within easy reach of his chair
was a square, revolving bookcase
full of reference works; a much-
thumbed biographical dictionary,
books of science, Adam Smith’s
“Wealth of Nations,” and Bart
lett’s “Familiar Quotations,”
among others. On three sides of
the office were bookcases filled
with two or three thousand books.
Perhaps a thousand of them had
red-edged paper seals pasted on
