Clemson College, July 16?Clemj son College authorities have investigated the potash situation which has ' given trouble in the Pee Dee section, j and have traced the matter to its ' source in the use of Trona Potash, which coptains impurities injurious | to crops. Mr. Bright Williamson, a prominent banker and farmer of Darling! ton, and John M. Napier, County ! Agent of Darlington County, found trouble with potash in that county recently and reported the matter to i Clemson College. Prof. ('. P. Blackwell, Agronomist, and Mr. J. L. Seal, Plant Pathologist, went immediately to Darlington and Florence Counties where they met Dr. W. W. Garner, Chief of the Office, of tobacco and Plant Nitrition investigations. The three studied the situation in the fields of Darlington, Florence and Dillon Counties. They agreed that the very erratic seasons have caused poor crop conditinnu ?r* nn o r??io *?? * ivicutc vvuuiuy which some have erroneously attributed to potash. In Darlington County, however, where Trona Potash from Searl Lake, California, purchased through a Charleston broker, was used, very serious injuries were observed on a number of farms. The Clemson and Government experts were convinced from field exi amination that this Trona Potash is responsible for the trouble. Thousands of acres of crops in Darlington have been destroyed. Other sources of American potash have given Rood results so far as investigations show. Since nearly all the soils of the Coastal Plains section of the state are in need of potash, it would be unfortunate to have all potash indiscriminately condemned along with this one source . Director Barre announces that experiments will be begun at the Pee Dee Station to obtain all possible information on the effect of this material on plant growth. Further study will be made in the Darlington fields to assist farmers in securing data upon which to base claims for damages. These investigations will be reported as soon as the data is available. Legal aspects of the case will be considered by the Board of Fertilizer Control. There has probably been injury to crops from this same source in other sections of the state, and if farmers think they have this trouble they should consult their county agents, all of whom have been posted about the matter. Late in June Director 11. W. Barre, of the S. C. experiment Station, attended a potato conference on Long Island to examine tests of all sources of domestic potash. Trona potash showed marked injury to potato plants, and the conference develops the fact that simular trouble was being experienced in North Carolina with cotton, tobacco and corn. Similar trouble seems to have been experienced in several localities along the Atlantic coast. For the guidance of farmers Prof. Blackwell gives the field symtoms as follows: In case of cotton and corn germination is retarded or prevented. Soon after plants which do germinate are above ground, they turn white or yelow and die. Tobacco where trans( planted turns light and soon dies. The . roots are found to be undeveloped { and many dead. The trouble is worse where tobacco beds have been knocked down, as this brings the roots in closer contact with the poisonous substances. With all crops the trouble > worse on light sandy soils than on heavier sods The new secretary of the treasury. Carter Glass, hasn't gone to bed before one o'clock in the morning for years and years and years. It is'nt that he is a congenital night owl, but he worked as a printer on a morning J' newspaper when he was thirteen ? years old, and the habit of staying ii up nights has elung to him ever since. i KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL * I Health it Worth Saving and Some Save It.
