These analyses, made of plants 24 to 36 inches high (in bloom, with four sb six young bolls per stalk), con firm the recent statement by Prof. JT. P. LaMaster, chief of the Dairy department, on the feeding value cotton stalks. On the green basis the plant con- IMns^about 77 per cent water, the analyses show. On the airy-dry. Ausis, similar to the water content hay, the cotton plant shows 2E 1-2 per cent protein, 28 per cent banks by making them more li quid. Closed banks will be better able to pay deposkors. “Farmers whose first farm mort- gag_3 are purchased by the Land Lank will benefit from • a lower rate of interest and long term leans. In cas:s where the local banks agree with the farmers to scale down the amount due on their mortgages so as to sell them to the Land Bank for amounts which it legally can pay for them, the farmers will be given in place 31 per cent nitrogen-free ex- j of the mortgages held by the local f $act, 10 per cent ash, 2.8 per cent bank new mortgages for the scaled .fitt and 10 per cent moisture. This 1 down amounts. It is anticipated jcmpares almost exactly with cow- Hul or soybean hay. "Because of the high v/ater con- itart the plants will be very diffi- aedi to cure In rainy weather, but jgpabably not more difficult under sbDilar conditions than cowpea or aaibean hay,” says Prof. LaMaster. ‘TBi palatability tests have been ankle here, but farmers report that will eat the hay.” the analysis of the cotton gfknt shows it to be so similar to 31k feed value of the legumes , it Kinnot be recommended for mik- atagsilage. This is because the plant contains so little sugar that the jffementation process, so necessary Tier the preservation of silage, will that many farmers will thus bene fit from a reduction in their debts This has been the case in Wiscon sin and other states where this plan of purchasing mortgages is in operation. “In the offices opened in Spar tanburg and Florence applications for loans from the Agent of the Land Bank Commissioner, Henry S. Johnson, will also be received. In some instances it is expected that loans from the Agent on the security of second mortgages may be necessary to refinance the in debtedness of tfc-2 farmers to closed banks. “Quite ?~ide from the activities of refinancing farmers’ indebted- O Q)ea*^or?v.<dCLeA/. % IN ANSWER TO A LADY * S LETTER A lady writes to say that she does not understand why an 8-cylinder car does not cost more to run than a car with fewer cylinders. She refers to my statement that our Ford V-8 develops more power on a gallon. of gas than any car we have made. The use of 8-cylinders does not mean the addition of two or four extra fuel consumers. It is not, for example, a 4-cylinder engine multiplied by two. Our 8-cylinder engine takes the fuel supply of an ordinary 4—cylinder engine and divides it eight ways. And why? By reducing four larger explosions into eight smaller ones, we get engine smoothness and quietness. Eight-cylinders indicate the way the gas is used, not the amount. It is just the difference between going upstairs in four long jumps or in eight ordinary steps. Two things use up gas—bad engine design and useless car weight. Besides having an engine that gets a high percentage oF power out of the fuel, the Ford V-8 has a light, strong body and chassis so that no power is wasted in moving excess weight. * The only extravagance about the new Ford V—8 engine is in the building of it. The extravagance is ours—the economy is yours. The whole question of car economy needs clearing up. An economical car gives economy all round. Price, operation, upkeep, all play their part. If what you save on gas you lose elsewhere, that is not economy. As to upkeep, our dealers say that in recent years the improved quality of Ford cars has cut down their repair business 50 per cent. As to price with quality,—judge for yourself. As to economy, here is the record of a stock car three weeks out of shop in Oklahoma: On a run of 10,054 miles at the rate of 1,000 miles a day the Ford V-8 gave 18.8 miles per gallon of gas. Not a drop of water was added to the radiator. The oil was changed once in 1,000 miles. That should answer a lot of questions.

Tt farmers desire to make silage -■Att the cotton plant, the recom- aramafations are the same as for staking silage from legumes.

This would mean that cotton plant should be cut and <2tnred to wilt in the field for two Commssicner’s Agent will be re ceived in the Spartanburg and Florence offices. A new short form for applicants’ use has been pre pared. “The number of Land Bank ap praisers has been increased and the work of appraising farms will progress as rapidly as possible.” Mr. Daniel at the same time warned depositors in local closed banks not to expect the immediate replacement of a large number of farmers’ debts with cash, for it re knee hours and thus lose con- | quires time to appraise farm pro- -«ifer&ble of its moisture before ^ perties and to make mortgage jfeeazg cut into silage.

Build Up that Skinny Child I Enrich Hit Impoverished Blood Sickly, weak, underweight children ax* usually lacking in rich, red blood. Whoa, blood becomes poor, a child becomes rundown. Already weak, he loses appe tite, which makes him still weaker. Take no chances on a child gaining strengtia by himself. Start giving him Grovel Tasteless Chill Tonic right away. TWa famous tonic contains both iron and tasteless quinine. Iron makes for rich, red blood while quinine tends to purify the blood. In other words, you get two effects in Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic. Put your child on this time-proven tonic for a few days and see the differ ence it makes in him. Good appetite, lots- of pep and energy and red roses in his cheeks. Children like Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic and take it eagerly.
