“Every cotton grower is interest
ed in getting more dollars for the
cotton bale”, says County Agent
R. D. Suber, calling the attention
cf McCormick county farmers to
a new free publication which
should help to secure greater : e-
currs for lint cotton.
This ' publication is Extension
Circular 153, More Dollars for the
Cotton Bale, by C. V. Phagan, ex
tension agricultural engineer, and
B. E. G. Prichard, assistant exten
sion agronomist. The circular now
may be had from the county
agent’s office or from the Publi
cations Department at Clemson
College, the agent states.
“Good handling of the seed cot
ton and good ginning are impor
tant factors affecting the grade
and quality of lint”, says Mr. 1
Suber, “and it is evident therefore
that farmers and ginners are joint
ly responsible for these price fac
tors.
“Circular 158 discusses methods
of harvesting, the moisture content
of seed cotton, ginning machinery,
and gin operations to the end that
grade and quality of lint may be
the best possible so that the farm
er will receive the greatest possible
return.”

A Cheering Sign
From The Greenville News, Sept. 14.
One of the cheering signs of the
times in South Carolina is the sub
stantially increased attendance up
on public schools in various parts
of the state.
. The development, very clearly, is
a result of the compulsory school
attendance law adopted at the last
session of the General Assembly
and now being made effective
through the efforts of special at
tendance workers in virtually every
county.
Additional teachers will undoubt
edly be needed in a number of
schools, and wdiile this wall increase
the costs of the public school sys
tem somewhat it is an increase
which the citizenship should find
genuine pleasure in paying.
We are at last moving toward
the goal of providing every South
Carolina child wnth at least a
grammar school education; and it |
is sincerely to be hoped that the
fruitful work which these atten
dance teachers are doing will con
tinue with unflagging zeal. Cer
tainly they should continue to have
the hearty cooperation of school
authorities and the citizenship gen
erally.

Loss From Leaching
Can Be Checked Bv
*
Winter Cover Crop
_
Clemson, Sept. 11.—A legume
crop plowed under in the fall on a
sandy soil decomposes rapibly, and
much of the plant food which it
contains leaches out before time
to plant a crop the following
spring. This loss may be held to
a minimum by planting a winter
cover crop, says R. W y Hamilton,
extension agronomist of Clemson
College.
Applying a “lysimeter” test-
placing sections of soil in tanks
where run-off or leaching can b3
measured—the U. S. Department
of Agriculture in cooperation with
the Sandhill Experiment Station
in South Carolina found heavy
losses of nitrogen, calcium, and
magnesium when there is no win
ter cover crop. Potash losses are
not so serious and phosphorus does
not appear to leach.
The roots of winter cover crops—
such as rye, wheat or vetch—absorb
most of the plant food which
otherwise would leach away and
also are a protection against sur
face run-off. When in the spring
the winter cover crop is plowed un
der, the absorbed plant food is re
turned to the soil.
In field-plot tests at the Sand
hill Experiment Station the plant
ing of winter cover crops increased
cotton yields as much as 46 per
cent. Corn yields were boosted 33
per cent, although the same min
eral fertilizers were used on both
the land that had only a legume
crop and that which had both le
gumes and a winter cover crop.
In this experiment, a winter
cover crop after eowpeas plowed
under in the fall in a three-year
rotation of cotton, corn, and cow-
peas was compared with continu
ous winter fallow and the same
summer crops.
Columbia, Sept. 13.—Hunter- r^d
fishermen will move on Clinton
this month as the membership of j
the South Carolina game and iish
association assemble for their
seventh annual convention. The
cne-day session will be held Sep
tember 23, at the clubhouse of the
Laurens county chapter, just out
of Clinton. Visiting delegates will
be guests of the host chapter at
a barbecue dinner at noon.
“Our association is pledged to
services furthering the game and
fish resources of South Carolina
through the united efforts of our
members. By working hand in hand
with conservation and administra
tive agfencies, and by practicing
sane conservation ourselves, fish,
game and forests, may be material
ly increased for the benefit of all,”
declared Dr. Havilah Babcock, state
president.
At the annual convention the
framing cf the year’s program and
the election of the state officers
will be the order of business.
“We are expecting a good at
tendance from all over riie state”,
said West Jacocks, state secretary,
“and the Clinton crowd are mak
ing plans for good entertainment.
There is sufficient important busi
ness to come before the conven
tion to attract scores of thinking
hunters and fishermen.”

To Work For Orphans
On Saturday of this week all
Methodist Churches in this county
and throughout the entire state
will observe Work Day for the chil
dren of Epworth Orphanage.
This is an annual affair. For
more than 30 years the Methodists
cf the state have set aside one Sat
urday in September as a day on
which all members of the Church
and Church schools are asked to
work for Epworth Orphanage and
contribute ail their earnings for that
day on the following Sunday when
the Work Day Offering is made.
Thousands of children throughout
the state will make a special ef
fort to find something to do on next
Saturday that they may earn
money to give to their less for
tunate little friends who make
their home at Epworth Orphanage.
Seme will go in groups to the cot
ton fields, others will ask their par
ents and neighbors for jobs, and
still others, who have regular Sat
urday jobs, will give their earn
ings for the day. When we consider
that there are 802 Methodist
Churches of the state with a mem
bership of 153,000 we will under
stand that Work Day means very
much to the children of Epworth
Orphanage. In fact it is the most
important day of all the year for
them.

Atlanta. Ga., Sept. 11.—Cotton
grade and staple reports were is
sued today by the Atlanta office
of the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics for Georgia, Alabama, Flor
ida, and South Carolina:
Alabama continues to lead the
Southeastern States in the propor
tion of high grade cotton classed
from this season’s gihnihgs. White
Strict Middling and higher grades
include about 25 per cent of the
cotton classed from Alabama, 14
per cent from Georgia, 8 per cent
from Florida, and 13 per cent from
South Carolina.
Based on the proportibn of cot
ton 1 inch and Ibnger reported

has improved over last season :n
Georgia, Alabama, and Florida.
Scarcely any change is shown for
South Carolina, though South Car
olina continues to lead the South
eastern States in the longer
lengths. Cotton 1 inch and longer
in staple represents 62 per cent of
the cotton classed from South Car-
c ina ginnings. 20 per cent frorm
