Close Spacing
Of Cotton Proves
Best By Test
JAYS MR. R. W. HAMILTON, EX-
TENSION AGRONOMIST
Mr. Hamilton also has the fol-
'.owing to say in regard to cotton
production.
Thinning of cotton and early
poisoning for boll weevils will be
mpertant farm operations during
..lay and June. To further stress
the importance of close spacing
md the early use of sweet poison
: n cottcn, attention of farmers is
.ailed to the following results ob
tained by the South Carolina Ex-
Deriment Station.
“Tests have been conducted over
i five-year period with Cleveland
variety in which the spacing was
me plant every 6, 9, 12, 16 and-24
inches. No poison was applied to
these plots except three early ap
plications of molasses poison. All
spacings have averaged a bale of
cotton or more per acre over this
period. Under these conditions,
the closer the plants are in the
drill the greater the yield. For
the five-year period, six inch
spacing has yielded 1659 pounds of
seed cotton per acre; nine inch
spacing yielded 1601 pounds; 12
inch spacing 1571 pounds; 16 inch
spacing 1455 pounds; and 24 inch
spacing 1398 pounds. Six inch and
nine inch spacings made the best
yield in 1930, 1530 and 155*0 pounds
per acre respectively. The wider
spacings, 16 and 24 inches, pro
duced only 1285 and 1127 pounds
per acre.
“From results obtained in these
tests it is evident that a good yield
of cotton can be made by leaving
a large number of plants per acre
and by properly applying three
applications of sweet poison.
“The first poison application was
made at -the appearance of the
first squares, followed at intervals
cf five days for the second and
third applications.” •
Now, of all times, we certainly
need to follow the above simple
recommendations for a more eco
nomical cotton production.
Very truly yours,
E. L. ROGERS,
County Agent.

The profitable pig is the one that
never stops growing from farrow
ing time until market. Wh^n pigs
are about three weeks old, they, will
begin to eat some shelled com if
placed in a self-feeder in a creep.
Also let them have access to a
mineral mixture containing lime
and phosphorus. When about five
or six weeks old, they will need
some form of protein to supple
ment the com. Shorts or middlings
are good sources of protein. Give
them separately—not mixed with
the com. Tankage, fish meal, or
old-process linseed meal may be
substituted for, or fed mixed with,
the shorts or middlings.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 26.—
Gardeners are. often undecided as
to whether or not they should
prune and stake their tomato
plants or allow them to grow nat
urally without support of any kind.
In deciding which method to fol
low, Prof. R. A. McGinty, chief of
the horticulture division, says there
are several factors to consider, such
as number of plants required to
set a given area, earliness, total
yield, control of diseases, and
quality of fruit.
About twice as many plants are
usually set in a given space when
they are to be staked as when al
lowed to grow naturally. The
yield of early fruit may be greater,
caused by the larger number of
plants per acre, from a patch of
staked tomatoes than from a
similar area where they are not
staked. However, the yield of
early fruit per plant is often less
and the total yield for the season
is usually much reduced when
staking is practiced. Supporting
the plants on stakes usually pro
vides fruit of higher quality, as it
is kept off the ground, and the
vines may be sprayed for diseases
more effectively. Blossom-end rot,
which is usually worse in dry
weather, is likely to do more dam
age in the case of staked toma-
vOes. •
In supporting tomato vines,
stakes, chicken wire, or other
specially made supports may be
used. Staking is the most com
mon method. The plants may be
pruned to one, two, or three main
stems, as the grower prefers. Ex
perimental data on this point is
lacking. Prof. McGinty advises that
the vines be topped when they
have grown to the height of the
stake.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 23.—
Numerous fields where calcium ar
senate dust has been heavily ap
plied for boll weevil control are
showing severe damage to succeed
ing crops from arsenic poisoning,
according to R. W. Hamilton, ex
tension agronomist.
Oats seems to be the Winter crop
most severely damaged. In some
instances all the oats have been
killed. The injury varies from to
tal loss to slight damage, seeming
ly varying with soil type and
amount of calcium arsenate ap
plied over a period of years. Light
sandy land is most severely affect
ed. Of the summer crops cowpeas
show damage quickest^ seedling
cotton is badly damaged, while
corn and tobacco seem to resist the
arsenic poison better, though prob
ably the yield of these two'eroos
is lessened on soil that contains
much arsenic.
The South Carolina Experiment
Station, which is doing much de
tail research on this problem, en
deavoring to find a remedy for
damaged soil, makes the following
report:
“Field observations, greenhouse,
and laboratory tests definitely in
dicate that there is a relationship
between unproductivity of certain
soil types and the accumulation of
soluble arsenic in the soil as a re
sult of heavy applications of cal
cium arsenate. Observations sug
gest that Coastal Plains soils,
which are relatively low in iron and
other materials that would be ex
pected to render arsenic insoluble,
are most affected by the addition
of arsenic.”
So far no effective and practical
remedy has been found for soil
damaged by arsenic. In some cases
applications of lime materials help
but not in all cases. In light of
the present information, Mr. Ham
ilton says that it is best not to ap
ply calcium arsenate in heavy
amounts and that early poisoning
of the weevil should be done with
the 1-1-1 molasses mixture as only
a very small amount of arsenic per
acre is applied by this method. If
dusting is necessary later keep the
amount of dust per application
down to around three pounds per
acre if possible.

Meat Suggestions
For Spring Days
The National Live Stock and
Meat Board recommends these
meat dishes for spring meals:
Mixed Grill of Broiled Lamb Chops
Broil four lamb chops on one
side. Place on a plank or fire
proof platter with the browned
side down. On one end arrange
three tomatoes cut in thick slices
and dipped in melted butter and
seasoned flour. In the middle
place two bananas cut in half and
dipped in melted butter and lemon
juice. Place in between mush
rooms that have been dipped in
melted butter. Return to the
broiler and cook until the chops
are done and the tomatoes and
bananas nicely browned.’
Noodle Ring with Creamed Ham
3-4 cup noodles
3 eggs
1-8 teaspoon salt
Few drops onion juice
2 tablespoons grated cheese
1-2 cup cream.
Break the noodles in small pieces
and cook until tender in rapidly
boiling water. Drain. Beat the
eggs until light. To them add the
other ingredients. Beat lightly,
then add the noodles. Blend the
ingredients and turn into a butter
ring mold. Place the mold in a
shallow pan of hot water and
bake in a moderate oven (325 de
grees Fahrenheit) for 35 minutes.
Turn onto a round serving plat
ter and fill the center with cream
ed ham.
Creamed Ham

that
ND, of course, you know
Dick and Leila Leith have ^one
back together again,” said Lucy Mor
row as she deftly dealt the cards to
her Wednesday afternoon bridge club.
“I am so happy. It would have been
tragic, their separating; v.itli tint!
lovely hoy of theirs!”
“Yes, I heard they were reconciled
It took place at the seashore tiiis sum
mer, didn’t it, when Lei a sent foi
Dick when the hoy was 111?’
“Let's keep the gossip for over the
teacups, girls,” suggested Ik!' , n May
“I’m dying to hear all aho;p it. hid I
have a corking good hand, the firs'
this afternoon, and I’m bidding m.
trump!"
Lucy Morrow followed Helen s elo
quent glance toward a hoy deep in tin-
cushions of an easy chair.
“Why not run out and pl::y David’
suggested his Aunt Lucy. “I will rail
you when it is time for cakes and
Hettie will make you some hot choco
late.”
“I’d rather read. Auntie Lit. And
besides, mother or father might call
and I wouldn’t he here.”
Lucy Morrow sh.ook her head sadlv
as she went hack to her cards.
“And now for the gossip!” suggested
Martha brightly, later on. “While
Hettie is making tea. We are all so
glad for Leila and Dick. It is not be
traying her confidence any.”
“Well,” began Lucy Morrow, “their
hark was certainly on the rocks for a
time. At first they were ideally happy
hut then Dick began making morvey so
fast, and the trouble started. Leila
says site was partly to blame.'too. She
took little Dick to the seashore and
they had planned to Separate this fall,
and then Dickie took a sudden turn
for t*he worse down there—always had
been a delicate child, you know, and
Leila wired for Dick. Dickie called
for his father incessantly. And they
did not leave the child’s bedside for
twelve hours. He would turn from
one to the other and in his delirium
would beg for Daddy to come home
to them, and then would beg Leila to
write to Daddy and tell him they
loved him. That was the first time
either Leila or Dick realized the boy
knew there was trouble betw- en them.
He insisted they both hold him at
the same time and she says she kne\V
then she could not live without him.”
Hettie came in with the tea tilings
and as she pgssed the hoy in the
chair.'she whispered;
“Hot chocolate and sandwiches for
you, David. Shall*I bring them in here
on that nice little red tea table, or—”
The hoy closed his hook and smiled
up at his aunt’s msiid:
“No, Hettie, I think I’ll have them
on the kitchen table. I always drink
two cups of hot chocolate, you know,
and it will save a lot of bother.”
“I do hope that David was deep In
his book when I was talking about the
Leiths,” said Lucy Morrow anxiously
as the boy left the room. “You profit
ably know that his parents—niy
brother Tracy and Madeline—are hav
ing the same trouble. He realizes it
and is so sensitive. The look in his
eyes almost breaks my heart. Their
case is startlingly like Dick's and
Leila’s—too much money; too little
to do. I brought David home with me
for a few days while their latest fuss
blows over but he is getting Idhesome
and will be wanting to go hack before
long. It’s tragic.”
At dinner that evening,. David an
nounced to his aunt and uncle that he
would like to go home. . *
“Uncle Martin can drop me at the
corner of our street anti I will sur
prise father and mother. I am not
feeling so well, and think I had bet
ter go.”
It was hardly seven the next morn
ing when the telephone rang and the
voice that came to Lucy was eager, r-
“It’s Madeline, Lu. I—just couldn’t
wait to tell you. David was sick last
night hut he is much better. Traqy
Is holding him now and he is having
his breakfast. It was so strange. We
called the doctor and he couldn’t find
anything wrong, but he tossed from
one side of the bed to the other and
called for both of us all the time.
Neither of us slept all night but he
went to sleep shortly after twelve and
slept soundly until six this morning.
But Lucy, what/ do you suppose he
said, just before he closed his eyes? .
“He said: ^Tf yob love me and want
to keep me, if you don’t want me to b&
sick, then you both must stay right
here with me—all the time.’ Oh,
Lucy, just think—” and Madeline’s
voice broke in a sob. l
“And now?” prompted her sister-in-
law gently.
“Tracy and I have talked It over.
We talked and talked by David’s bed
last night. And we realize we have
been very selfish and wicked. I have
known all along that I loved Tracy,
and he says the same thing about me
—we were so blind; so selfish; and it
has taken our little son to make us
see the truth. I am going to call the
doctor and have him come in this
morning to see him again.”
“I don’t think a doctor is necessary.
Madeline dear. Don’t spoil your new
found happiness—and David’s—by call
ing in an outsider. David just needs
his father and mother—amd their love.
And I stni so happy, Madeline, for
.on all”
On her way hack upstaiirs to fied
