It Is umW time to consoler the ques? tion of fertiliser* for the n? xt crop. In this connection the disposition of the cottonseed is important The farmer has a choice of using them di? rectly us a fertiliser, after crushing or rolling In acid phosphate to prevent germination, or to sell the sssd or ex? change them for cottonseed meal. The writer notes fron? recent quo? tations that the price offered is around thirty-rive cents per bushel, which correspondent.-* to %22..l.\ per ton, while cottonseed meal is quoted about $27.00 per ton. This Rives a rate of exchange of 1TJS pounds of meal for a ton of seed. Experiments conduct? ed at v kfiont experiment stations show that the lii.i? r and oil are of no value as sources of fertilizer, ami can only bo considered for the amount of organic matter added <>n the other hand when the linter and i 11, which contain no appreciable amounts of plant food are removed, the entire plant food of the seed remains in the hulls and cake. The amount of plant food In the hulls is comparatively low, therefore the bulk of the plant food Is left In the meal. A ton of seed when manufactured give about 850 pounds of meal, about ifi pounds of hulls, about 350 pounds of oil, and about | 40 pounds of linter; 1 ivln'r a loss of over loo pounds in' moisture. There? fore we can readily see that the farm? er gets many more pounds of plant food by making this exchange or by selling and reinvesting in fertilizer than by using the seed as a fertilizer. The above facts hve been practical? ly demonstrated both by the Georgia Experiment statem reported in Bul lttln TT, md by Mr. E. B. Boy kin re? ported in Farmers' Bulletin No. 226. Mr. Bo>kin's work was done on tie farm of Mr. John C Fletc her at Mc- ' Coll. 8. C. The following comparisons Were made: where the same quan- J titles of phosphate acid snd potash J Were used, and where 40 bushels or 1,200 pounds of cottonseed were com? pared with 800 pounds of meal, un? der like conditions, where 30 bushels or ?00 pounds of cottonseed were compared with 300 pounds of meal, always keeping the formula balanced with respect to phosphoric acid and potash. The work was carried on for two years and In every case the re ? sults were in favor of the me-1. These results would indicate that It would be hotter to exchange a ton ef *? fd fer on* thousand pounds of I meal than to use seed dlre? tly as a fertiliser The writer does not believe this for two reason: there is a cer? tain amount of expense Incurred by the farmer in making this exchange Because he must haul the seed to mar? ket and the meal back. Also he is en? titled to a reasonable price for the oil content of the seed. However, the prevailing prices and rates of exchange on cottonseed allow him a handsome profit. T K. Keltt. Chemist.

That's t he question You can get your answer right here in Washington, either from the Na? tional Suffrage Association or from the national convention of the Wo? men's Democratic League, which has tu en sizzling two days. The women of the latter organisation not only take it seriously, but they light with SUCh other for their political rights the same SI they would at a bargain sale or any whole else where human rights have to bo fought. The Democratic Women's League has not heretofore been as serious a matter as it now is. it has awakened sines the last campaign and will proceed to Indulge In politics right along now. The Democratic women are going to do th. ir part in the effort to head off the Progressive party. The Pro? gressives haw s program that ap? peals to wonnn. Jane Addams, Anna M.

The league meets in the exquisite yellow loom in th?- Wdlard Hotel and the tight over the election of presi? dent was a thing t?> be remembered. Mrs, Steven B. Ayrea, wife of a New fork Congressman, was made presi? dent. Did she get it on a silver platter? Sh. did not. She got it after a hot feminine tight, in which the exchange of courtesies were spirited and at times full of anything except courtesy. Also she got it by just a vote. When Mfi Ma-: lo w j. Scott, who is the president-general of the Daugh? ters of the American Revolution? mounted the plntfrom to nomlnats Mra tyrei Mrs. Crosby, the retiring president of the Democratic League, who was a candidate to succeed her sedlf, invited Mrs. Scott to get right off the pltaform and ?peak her piece from the floor. factional feeling developed right there and progessed as rapidly as it ever did anywhere. Hisses from one part of the hall greeted Mrs. Crosby's actum. Mrs Scott, with dignity and heightened .?>lor, nominated Mrs. Ayrea from the floor. Mrs. Crosby al? ready had been nominated. Then Mrs. James Pryor Tarvin, of KentttOky, arose and suggested that Mrs. Crosby should leave the platform herself since she was a candidate. Mr*. Crosby refused on the ground that she was within her constitutional rights, Mrs. Scott rebuked some hiss? es by saying: "Only the asp and ser? pent hiss ami only the shiny trail of the serpent was left in the Garden of Bden." Anyone could see with half an eye that Mrs. Scott meant all she said and even more, sin- compressed her lips In a thin line, but she didn't forget that she was I holy. Mm Scott took issue wiht Mts.

Keen, Competition in the Boye1 (J?rn club for thii county will be ex? cessively keen during tbe year 1913, for already forty-five boys have joined aru* 'l is expected that many more will be In before the time for joining expires. Tho boys are getting more and more Interested In the corn club work and it is expected that this will be a banner year in the club in this county. Tho recent National Corn Show in Columbia did much to arouse greater interest in this work among the boy farmers of the county and the fact thai girls are starting out with their tomato clubs and will be in the race this %tar has also put the boys on their m. ttle, for they do not wish the girls of the county to out-do them in the line of intensive farming tak? en up by them. Another stimulant to arouse the Interest of the boys and to make them work harder is the fact that they are in competition with the ir fathers, so to speak, in working to win one of the- prizes offered by one of the banks of the city. The boys of the Corn Club held their first meeting of the year last Sat? urday at the court house when the names of those who wished to enter were enrolled and a talk about the preparation <?f the land for this years' crop was made them by Mr. J. Frank Williams, under whose supervision the corn clubs will he ke pt this year. On next Saturday, March Sth, the boys will hold another meeting when offi? cers will be chosen for the ensuing year and further Information given them as to the best methods of plant? ing and fertilizing their corn. All m< mbers of the corn club are urged to attend, and in order that the boys may have the opportunity of know? ing who will be in the club this year ami (b -iding for themseles who will best serve them as officers for 1913 a full list of numbers up-to-date and their addresses is herewith reproduc? ed: List of Members of Boys' Corn Club for 1913.
