EXTENSION WORK
OF CLEMSOK COLLEGE.
HOIV TO INCREASE THE YIELD OF
THE SOL'TH'S STAPLE PRODUCT,
COTTON.
Clemson College. April 25:?Cotton
is and will continue to be the most
important crop grown in South Caro
lina. It brings more money into tne
State than all other crops combined.
While the Southern farmer has practically
a monopoly on this, the most
important crop of commerce <n
earth, the average farmer is producing
it, however, at such a great
cost that his profit is small.
^ The world's demand for cotton is
^Lconstantly increasing and to such an
^extent it becomes necessary for the
Southern farmer to make improvements
in his methods in order to
i
meet this increased demand without |
increasing the area devoted to cotton.
It should be the endeavor of j
every intelligent farmer to encourage
farmers of every class to diversify
their crops and raise more livestock,
thus curtailing the acreage
devoted to cotton. The increased demand
for cotton should be met by
* producing more pounds on a smaller
area than is now devoted to that
crop,, thus reducing the cost of production
by intensive cultivation.
Every acre of well drained land in
this State that is now planted in cotton
can be made to yield twice its
average yearly production. How to
do this is the object of this short pa
per, which merely summarizes the
results o? experiments published in
Bulletons Nos 145 and 148 of the S
C Experiment Station. This increased
Ipeld can be obtained as follows:
(1) By early and deep plowing.
(21 By conserving the soil moisture,
by increasing the Humus contents
of the soil and by frequent and
shallow cultivation.
(3) By turning under winter cover
crops, such as bur"~ clover, crimson
clover, vetch and rye, which are
planted in the cotton field at the
last cultivation.
(4) By planting cotton only on
soils well drained and adapted to its
cultivation.
(5) By giving plenty of distance
in the row and between the rows.
(6) By using the weederfrequently
during early growth. j
(7) By using large amounts of
acid phosphate before or at time of
planting.
W (8) By supplying stable manure
? either broadcast or in the drill before
planting.
(9) By using only small amounts
of potash except on coarse, sandy
soils.
(10) By applying 1000 lbs of lime
per acre every four years to cotton
lanHn
(11) By growing some of the winter
and summer legumes, thus storing
more nitrogen in the soil.
(12) By the use of large amounts
of ammonia applied in the form of
blood, cotton seed meal, fish scrap,
tankage and sulphate of ammonia
before or at the time of planting,
and by later applications.
(13) By using 25 to 50 lbs of nitrate
of soda per acre applied before
or at the time of planting.
(14) By applying 100 or more lbs
of nitrate of soda per acre at the
time the first bloom appears.
(15) By the liberal use of acid
phosphate if the cotton is making a
weedy growth and not fruiting properly.
(16) By the liberal use of ammonia
if the plants are slow of growth
and yellow in color.
(17) By being careful never .to
plow the land when too wet.
(18) Bv breaking the crust after
each rain, thus saving soil moisture
and incidentally killing grass and
weeds.
(19) By planting only the best
^"varieties of cotton, such as Colum
bia, Hartsville, Cleveland Big Boll,
Toole's Prolific, Ninety Day, Tri^
umph.Cook, Brook's Improved, Blue
Ribbon, Etc.
(20) By avoiding anthrasnose, or
boll rot, by proper seed selection.
(21) By planting only those vaf
rieties that are suitable to the type
L of soil on which they are grown.
<22) By planting wilt resistant
varieties.
j (23) By planting: only big boll,easy
picking, early maturing1 varieties.
' (24) By planting early and reducing
promptly to a stand.
(2">) By the projx'r rotation of
crops, which prevents soils ihov
washing, which increases the i*-. .-iiIity
of the soil, which, puts the -oil in
better physical condition, better
( '. ..n-i,..,! fwiHitinn and better bio
logical condition, which prevents
over-production,prevents insect depredation-ana
plant diseases, such as
cotton root rot, black knot, bacterial
blight of cotton, cotton root louse.
(25) By using kainit on black jack
and calcareous soils, on which cotton
is subject to rust.

Two Paramount Issues.
(Written fur lav. \v?.ek".i Is uy )
Editor County Record:?
We notice the county chairman
1 as called all the Democratic club3
to meet and re-organize; also the
county convention is called to meet
at the county seat on May 2. The
county campaign is now* open, or
soon will be; there are two vital issues
in this campaign: the first issue
with the candidates for the House
of Representatives is, Will they use
their every effort to regulate the
law in reference to taxation and see
that a law is kenacted to have every
c tizen bear his equal part of taxa
tion? As the law stands now, to
make a comparison, if Mr B has
$10,000 and Mr A has $10,000, and
Mr B invests his capital in land he
has a tax to pay on his investment
from the day he makes his purchase,
while if Mr A lends his capita! at
interest and gets from 8 to 10 per
a n , he pays no taxes. Is this right?
Issue Number 2?Here comes the
timbe^ speculator. Mr Farmer has a
tract of timber land, the timber,
worth $3 to $5 an acre, the land
with timber cut off worth $2 an
acre. Mr Farmer sells this timber to
the buyer for $3 an acre and gives
the timber-buyer 10 to 20 years to
remove the said timber. As the law
now stands, the farmer has to pay
the taxes pn this land for 20 years,
while the purchase price will not pay
the taxes for 20 years. Is this right?
No, but it is one of our existing
lawrs.
J Also the writer would advocate the
enactment of a law creating a commission
of men in each township to
take the tax returns therein and
equalize the property as returns are
made between those three commissioners
and the tax-payer. Let
those three commissioners canvass
their entire township. This tax subject
is a matter of great concern to
| oar people, and I don't think it fa
I asking too much of the candidates
' in this campaigr to declare themselves
on this matter.

Andrews, April 18.
(toe Conductor Who Was Cured
Mr Wilford Adams is his name,
and he writes about it.?"Some
time ago I was confined to my bed
with chronic rheumatism. I used
two bottles of Foley's Kidney
Remedy with good effect, and the
third bottle put me on my feet and
I resumed work as conductor on the
Lexington, Ky., Street Railway. It
gave me more relief than any
medicine I had ever used, and it
will do all you claim in case
of rheumatism." Foley's Kidney
Remedy cures rheumatism by
eliminating the uric acid from the
blood.
