The Encouragement ol this Crop Is
Sooth Carolina Attracts Wide Attention.
Cotton is still king down South,
and there is no reason to think that
I
it will be dethroned in our time. The j
cotton that is exported represents a j
sum large enough to pay our enor-1
mons balances in Europe, for the ex -1
penses and purchases of tourists, for1
v goods imported, for transportation j
by sea ar.d for interest on foreign
money invested iu the United States.
But down South King Cotton has
occupied the Held too exclusively. Ic
has been too uiuch the policy to devote
the entire energies ot the planters
to that one crop an?l then have
to use the money received for cotton j
^ to buy things that ought to have
" been raised at home. The South is
getting away from this unwise policy
and is paying more attention to raising
corn ami other food. In the ten
years ended with 1906 theproduc.
tiou of corn in the South was nearly
700,000,000 bushels greater than in
t the previous decade. The corn crop
of South Carolina alone increased by
over a million bushels a year. Iu order
to still further increase the crop
of that State the Legislature has offered
a series of prizes to be awarded
to those who can raise the largest
number of bushels on one or live
acres. There are separate prizes for
boys. This is a pract?cal way to interest
farmers iu corn growing and
to secure the use of the best seed and i
the best methods of fertilizing and
cultivating. The contests held in forraer
years, the State commissioner of
agriculture says, "have been of immense
value to tbe State in dollars
and cents, as has been demonstrated
bj their iuflnence upon the remarkable
advance made in the value of
the corn crop in South Carolina in
the lust two years." The production
of corn naturally suggests the production
of bacon, and when that is i
done the people will have bread and
meat, eveu if the boll weevil eats op ;
the cotton crop.?Baltimore Sua.

Hints for Stock Owners.
Do not leave the cows out in the >
cold May raius.
Do not leave them out for more
than half a day at first.
The changes in feed should be brought
about gradually and with as
much care as possible.
Always give a good feeding of hay *
before the cows are turned to pasture ]
the first time in the spring. j
Put in lots of sweet corn. It is au
j attraction on the home table and a !
f t
money maker in the dairy. i
f In case your cows show signs of
having scours,giye them a teasponful
of line charcoal with the milk for a
few days. When the trouble disap- {
pears, begin feeding hay and you will i
not have any moie difficulty with the
scours.
Keep the collars clean and dry.
Keep the colt's feet level by rasping.
'
<
Don't allow the toes to grow too '
loug. Long toe9 will cause ringbones.
Do not use grease or blacking on ]
the hoofs to close the pores and j
prevent the entrance of moisture.

How to Increase the Yield of Fruit
Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good manage
ment than of good luck. Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal
supply of
Virginia-Carolina
ITT ?_ I_*
reruuztrs
The trees absorb plant foods?that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash?from the soil just the same as any other crop. Experience
has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so
well recognized that" return to the land what the tree removes if you
would expect the best results " has become an axiom with the best
growers. f;
Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond to
careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers.
" I made a test with other companies' fertilizers," says Mr. H. O.
of Manatee County, Fda., "and yours proved to be the best,
'eld where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as
is where the other two companies' fertilizer was used."
. eds of users say Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest
because of their good qualities?give better satisfaction and quicker
results.
Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are published
in the new 1909 Farmers' Year Book, a copy of which will be
sent free on application to any of our sales offices.
