Fertilizer Needs Of
Beans And Tomatoes
Charleston, Feb. 15.—Results of
fertilizer experiments with beans
and tomatoes at the -South Caro
lina Truck Experiment Station in
dicate that changes may profit
ably be made in present fretilizer
practices with these crops, accord
ing to J. M. Jenkins, Jr., assistant
horticulturist.
"Growers of tomatoes frequently
use very high applications of pot
ash in the belief that yields will
be increased and that a tougher
shipping tomato will be obtained,
but- experiments show that yields
are actually decreased when more
than five per cent potash is em
ployed in the fertilizer mixture,
while the shipping quality of the
product is not improved,” says Mr.
Jenkins. "Highest yields of toma
toes at the Truck Station have
been obtained from fertilizers an
alyzing 3 to 5 per cent nitrogen,
7 to 10 per cent phosphorus, and
• to 5 per cent potash, at the rate
of 1000 pounds per acre. -
“Highest yields of snap beans
' were obtained from plots which had
been fertilized with a mixture an
alyzing 5-7-0,” the horticulturist
continues. "Results of further tests,
however, indicate that in many
cases 3 per cent nitrogen and 1C
per cent phosphorus may prove
to be more profitable. Beans failed
to respond to potash,- and yield
\ decreased with increases in the
amount of potash applied. This be
havior may be due in part to the
fact that soils for vegetable crops
are usually highly fertilized, and
that sufficient potash has accumu
lated in the soil to satisfy the de
mands of the bean plant. For a
spring crop of beans 800 pounds
per acre may be sufficient, or even
Jess if the land is in good condi-
licn and has been properly cared
for.
"The fall crop may usually be
successfully grown with no fertil
izer other than a side-dressing of
2011 pounds of nitrate of soda, pro
vided the land has previously been
fertfiized well for a spring crop or
planted in a summer cover crop.
Where a legume is used as a green
saamire crop during the summer,
higher yields may be expected than
would otherwise be obtained.”
Meat Animal Contest
Again For Clubsters
Clemson, Feb. 15.—The national
4-H club meat animal livestock
project contest, sponsored by the
National Committee on Boys’ and
Girls’ Club Work with prizes offer
ed by Thomas E. Wilson, Chicago,
is open to South Carolina club
members again in 1936, says Dan
Lewis, state boys’ club agent.
All 4-H pig, beef, and sheep club
members are eligible to compete in
this contest, says Mr. Lewis, point
ing out the opportunity for a
county champion in each county of
the state as well as a state cham
pion.
Last year Julius Brogdon, Jr.,
Sumter county 4-H cluosier, v.on
the state prize, a $50 gold watch,
;in this contest, Mr. Lewis reminds
us. Starting wuth a purebred pig
and an acre of corn in 1931, young
Brogdon had last year a herd of
36 purebred Poland Chinas. During
the past five years he has grown
$1190 worth of hogs and $252.50
worth of corn.
The contest offers county, state,
sectional, and national prizes. The
county prize is a gold medal of
honor; the state prize, a $50 gold
watch; the sectional prize, a trip
to the national 4-H club congress
n Chicago; and the rational prize,
cholarships of $300, $200, and $100
awarded to three of the four sec
tional winners.
Reviewing the results of the con
test in this state, Mr. Lewis says
that six gold watches in that many
years have come, to South Carolina
club boys as a result of this con
test, the state winners being as
follows: Vernon Epting, Newberry
county; Joe Hall, Fairfield county:
Dan Bickley, Lexington county;
Henry Fox Tindall, John Allen
Watt, and Julius Brogdon, Sumter
county. Besides winning the watch
in 1930 Vernon Epting was sectional
winner, receiving therefor a free
trip to Chicago to attend the na
tional club congress, where he was
also awarded a $100 national col
lege scholarship.

Chevrolet January
And 1st 90 Days’ Sales
Detroit, Mich., Feb. 7.—Sales by
Chevrolet dealers continued
throughout January at a rate which
broke all January records In the
history of the company, besides
rounding out the greatest 90 days
after announcement that Chevrolet.
has ever known.
This fact is revealed by figures re
leased by W. E. Holler, vice presi- |
dent and general sales manager.
New records were established both
for new cars and trucks and for
used cars, Mr. Holler said. An im
portant contributing factor, he
added, was the used car disposal
program, under which thousands
of old cars were destroyed and
forever removed from the streets
and highways of America.
January sales of new cars and
trucks totaled 75,412 units, an in
crease of 103 per cept over Jan
uary 1935. New unit sales for tfce
period since the 1936 model an
nouncement totaled 247.666, as
'compared with 130,867 for the best
| corresponding period in the- past,
in 1929—30. This is an increase of
' 89 per cent.
Used ear sales for January were
166,966 units, thei second-highest
used car month in. Chevrolet’s en
tire history. Salesr ol used cars
for the 90-day period since intro-
- daction of the 1986, models totaled
HA
„ 400,717 units, 247,003 in 1934—5 be-
| ing the highest previous total for
[1 a corresponding period-
We regard It as significant that
■ 1 , >• •• • 1 —
the combined sale of new and used
cars by Chevrolet dealers in Jan
uary totaled 242,378 units and, fur
ther, that the combined sale by
Chevrolet dealers of new a>nd used
cars during the three months’ pe
riod reached the tremendous total
of 648,383 units.
“The fact that record sales in
January were not confined to any
one section of the country, but on
the contrary were general through
out the United States, is a splendid
business indication,” said Mr. Hol
ler. "It supports our belief that the
Spring buying season will be the
best the country has seen for a
number of years.” . :
Extension of the used car junk
ing program through February was
announced last week. This pro
gram, in which Chevrolet is recom
pensing its dealers for scrapping
unsafe cars, is meeting witlwthe
unanimous approval of safety au
thorities in all parts of the country.;
