GIVEN under my hand this 23rd day of February,. Anno Domini, 1932. v L. G. BELL, Probate Judge. Feb. 23, 1932.—2t. COLUMBIA, Feb. 23.—By a near ly unanimous vote the house today approved on second reading the Bradford joint resolution to extend the time for payment of state property taxes until June 1. But four members voted against the resolution in a standing vote. A joint resolution has force of law. Previously /the general as sembly had approved a concurrent resolution directing the extension but Comptroller-General A. J. Beattie refused to grant it, stating that it would be detrimental to the state’s financial condition-. Under the joint resolution a one per cent penalty would be placed for non-payment for the mohths of January, February, March, April and May and a two per cent penalty for each month after June 1.

Every cent of your Fertilizer Dollar must give you the largest possible return, es pecially in a year like this. A complete, well- balanced Fertilizer is always the best. Meal and Acid is not a well-balanced Fertil izer. Your crops need Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash—all three. Each helps the others. See that each ton of your Cotton Fertilizer contains 300'pounds of Muriate of Potash, or its equivalent in high grade Kainit. Sweet Potatoes—600 pounds. Corn 200 pounds. Tobacco—400 pounds of Sulphate of Potash. N. V. POTASH EXPORT MY., INC. Of AMSTERDAM, HOLLAND Hurt Building, Atlanta, Georgia CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 8.— Livestock farming makes a perfect circle, say eepnomists and livestock specialists, advising more hogs, cattle, and poultry as one means of taking up some of the acreage and labor slack due to reduced acreage in cash crops. That is, the farm er needs more livestock through which to market thafeedstuffs pro duced in diversified farming and he needs to produce home-grown feedstuffs for all the livestock he keeps. The outlook for feedstuffs in 1932 shows tiiat prices are relative ly lower than prices of livestock and livestock products. The sit uation is thus summed up: 1. For the United States corn production in 1931 was larger than in 1930 but smaller than the five- year average. In South Carolina the corn acreage was five per cent above 1930 and 15.5 per cent above 1929. However, the price per bushel is reported as less than half that of 1930, and the total value is esti mated at $10,000,000, or 49 per cent below 1930 and 1929. 2. For the United States yields and production of small grains were larger than in 1930 but small er than the five-year average. In South Carolina 1931 was a good year for small grains, per acre yields being about the best ever produced. 3. In the United States the hay production for 1931 was below the five-year average. In South Caro lina hay yields were about as usual but an increased acreage gave a to tal crop about 24 per cent above 1930. 4. In South Carolina the cowpea crop increased 43 per cent in acre age, with good yields. Because of drought the yield of soybeans was below 1931, but an increased acre age gave a yield of seed about 10 per cent larger than 1930. 5. In short, prices of grains, hay, and other feedstuffs are at unus ually low levels and since they can not be sold to economic advantage they can be converted into livestock products to economic advantage even at the prevailing low price levels of these livestock" products. And of course the production of livestock* products for consumption in live-at-home farming is now the accepted axiom. Grow A Good Garden ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE MAN URES IMPORTANT Two Chick Troubles That Must Be Fought CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 8.— Sunshine and outdoor range seem to be the best preventives of two spring chick troubles—rickets and toe-picking, advises P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman, who states that lack of vitamin D is the cause of rickets and that toe-picking is much more likely to develop in crowded quarters. “Chicks must have vitamin D in order to utilize mineral matter for bone formation,” says Mr. Gooding. “In the absence of this vitamin they develop rickets or leg weak ness. The common sources of vita min D are cod liver oil and direct sunshine. Direct sunlight is the most economical source of this vitamin and cod liver oil should be considered only as an emergency substitute for sunshine. Where chicks must be kept confined for longer than two weeks cod liver oil should be fed at the rate of two per cent of the mash.” Toe-picking, popularly supposed to be due to a deficiency ration, frequently occurs among chicks which are receiving complete and satisfactory rations, and is appar ently a matter of habit. One chick may accidentally pull off or loosen a toe-nail. The blood attracts other chicks and they start picking which soon leads to cannibalism and several chicks may be injured or killed. Toe-picking is more apt to develop among chicks which are crowded or confined. The outdoor range will give them more space for exercise and will help to keep them busy. / In case cannibalism develops, Mr. Gooding suggests the injured chicks be removed at once. If this cannot be done, painting the bloody parts of the injured birds with some distasteful material will usually prevent the other chicks from picking them. A mixture of one ounce of quinine to a pint of red paint is usually effective. x Jodo Sect evangelists of Japan are distributing Buddhist sermons on phonograph records. CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 22.— Animal and Vegetable manures are of great importance in good gard ening, not only because of tho plant food they contain but also because they furnish the much needed humus not contained in commer cial fertilizer, says A. E. Schillet- ter. extension horticulturist. Stable manure carries plant food elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash and is also a very valuable source of humus, Mr. Schilletter continues. Besides, in the decomposition of manure, materials are set free which act on the mineral compounds of the soil and make them more readily avail able for the growing plants. In ad dition to supplying plant food to the soil, humus increases its mois ture-holding capacity and makes heavy soil more friable and work able. Soil that contains plenty of humus can be worked up into a mellow seedbed, while soils devoid of humus are more likely to pack and bake. The usefulness of well-decayed vegetable matter in preventing dry ing of soils is obvious when it is realized that 100 pounds each of sand, clay, and humus will take up rfespectively 25, 50, and 190 pounds of water. The time to apply manure de pends on the kind and the stage of decomposition. Well rotted manure may be applied just before plow ing in the fall or spring. A satis factory method is to spread it evenly and work it into the soil by discing before plowing. The appli cation may be as heavy as 20 to 30 tons per acre if decomposition is well advanced. Fresh manure and manure con taining considerable straw or coarse material should not be ap plied to the garden as it is likely to have a depressing effect on plant growth. Decomposing man ure requires considerable water, and unless in a well advanced stage the decaying processes will make to heavy a demand on the soil moisture for the best interest of plant growth. That is one of the reasons why the application of fresh manure or coarse material to garden soils is not advisable. Fur thermore, well rotted manure is not likely to carry weed seeds, while fresh manure generally does. Hen manure should be Applied lightly as it contains a high per centage of nitrogen and will burn plants if applied too heavy. Growing crops of such legumes as clover and field peas may be plowed under as substitutes for barnyard manure. They decompose quickly when plowed under green and are satisfactory in maintaining the humus content of the soil. Rye is similarly used, but wherever pos sible one of the legumes should be used, for legumes also add nitrogen to the soil. X S. C.
