A SUCCESSFUL HAY FARMER
Clemson College, Jan., 31?Lancaster
County has in Mr. J. E.Craig,
of Lancaster, an outstanding example
of what may be accomplished tn growing
hay. W. F. Howell, the county
agent, reports as follows regarding
Mr rr.,;.,?o u.... ?i t
o in?y u1111 crops;
"It might be interesting t<? note
what one farmer in this county has
done in the way of producing hay an<l
forage crops. During the past year,'
Mr. J. E. Craig, of Lancaster, It. V.
D., No. 1, had 3d acres in mixed
.crasses and clovers. Ili average
yield per acre on this was: ! 1? tons
of cured hay. Most of the land under
grass was grazed after the first cut
ting. Mr. Craig sells more hay than
perhaps all the other farmers in the
county. In addition to his regular
grass land, he grows peas, sorghum
and other summer forage crops in rotation.
lie has 14 acres in alfalfa,
and is also a great believer in crimson
clover as winter crop and soil improver."

My doctor told me to use Cardul. I i

I at first let It go, but began to get

This last Cardul which I took made
me much better. In (act, cured me. It i

Reported Not Equal ^
To Demand
Atlanta, ?a.?A survey of, the ferillzor
situation by those familiar with
t indicates that there may be a shortigc
of commercial plunt food in 1920.
The reasons assigned for this are prin:ipaly
that strikes have Interfered
vlth the production of materials. In
iddition, there has been some diffi:ulty
in obtaining shipments over the
allroads.
To be more specific, the long drawn
>ut strike of miners in tho rock phos>hate
fields of Florida prevented a
lupply of rock phosphate being ship
>cd to tho factories. This and the dificulty
of gutting prompt shipments
vhen the mines resumed work, It ie
daimed, has put the manufacture of
icid phosphate more than three
nonths behind, bosidos reducing the
possible supply.
As to ammoniates or nitrogenous
natorials, it is pointed out that the
:oai and steel plant strikes greatly
educed the possible output of eulthate
of ammonia. Tankage and cotonueed
meal are so much in demand
is feed as to be unavailable or too extensive
to use as fertilisers. Nlrate
of soda is being shipped In larger
imounts, but not as cheaply as was
ixpected. It seems that the demand
or nitrate of soda In the orient, especially,
has kept up the price higher
han was anticipated.
As for potash, there Is going to be
i fair supply, the first time plnce the
European war began. A considerable
imount of potash has been shipped
rom Germany to France, while there
8 quite an accumulatalon of stocks
if desirable American-made potash en
land.
The Soil Improvement Committee
>f the Southern Fertiliser Association,
vlth headquarters in Atlanta, Is sendng
out Information to southern farmirs
urging them to order their frontiers
early and for immediate shipnent.
The reasons given are that
here is going to be great difficulty
n gupplylng the demand, and the
iooner It is known how much the
armor wants, the sooner the lnanuacturer
will know how big a Job he
iuh uu qib Danas ana now bard he
nust work to accomplish as much of
t as poeslble.
It 1b alao stated that the ralroads
ire anxious that fertilisers be ordered
>arly bo that they may be able to provide
care, else there will be a serious
llfflrulty In getting fertilizers dolivired
on time. Tho railroads are also
nutating on full carload Bhipments,
vhlch makes It necessary to have orlor"
early bo as to consolidate them
nto full carloads.
It in stated that the indications are
hat there will bo a heavy demand for
'ertllizerB throughout the South this
rear on uccount of the promising
prospects for southern crops. It is
ituted, also, that the orders coming
n to the factories reveal that tho
nrnier is now wanting higher grade
!ertlllzers than ever before.
POISONING BOLL WEEVIL
What Is claimed to be the most efective
method yet devised for com>attlng
the boll weevil Is that of poiinnlng
it with calcium arsenate. The
ntftliod was perfected by 13. R. Coad
>f tho United States Department of
Agriculture, at the Tallulah, La., stalon,
after several years of experinenting.
The weevil is poisoned by
hinting tho cotton at night or while
he dew 1b on, using a dusting ma!hine
to apply It. The material potions

veevll 1h killed, but there Is another
feneration hatching out, so that the
lolson must be applied three or tour
lines at a week or tan days Intervals.
Experiments show that the weevil
tan be kept down to such an extent
hat they oan not do serious damage,
rhe cotton saved la worth far mora

It Is Important that the right kind
>f calcium arsenate be used. There
ire different kinds, made for differ
?nt purposes. The wrong kind may
>e too weak to kill weevils, or too
itrong and injure the ootton plant
There is no use to begla dusting
he cotton plants before about ten
>ut of every 100 squares are punctured
>y the weevfl. It will be a waste of
noney to undertake to spray a field
horoughly to when there are fewer
veevils in the field. While it will
till practically all that are alive, the
lew hatch will have to be taken care
if by subsequent aprays. It is not ad
rtsed that any one undertake to dust
he plants with anything else than the
regular dusting machines. The pole
ind bag methods has not proven successful.

INSURES NATIONAL DEFENSE
Assurance of Abundant Amerioan
Explosives a Reason
Why Germany Quit
By GARRET SMITH.
One of the chief fortresses of America's
now military defense system
which developed ont of the World
War Is the Ammonium Nitrate IMunt
at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, on the
Tennessee Hlvcr, over three hundred
miles from the sencoast, capable of
turning out .100 tons of high explosives
a day. It assures to the United States
for all time an abundat?ce of ammunition
without which an army Is a helpless
encumbrance and It has made
this unlimited supply of explosives
available without resort to raw material
from outside of the country.
The essential ingredient of all modern
military explosives In nitric add.
Before the World War, America wus
entirely dependent upon Chile for tlic
supply of nitrate of soda, the only
chemical from whl?h nitric acid can
bo made. In case this country became
Involved In war with any nation that
could control the sea our foe would
have us at her mercy, for she could
cut off our essential means of striking
back. I
Other nations, however, were

nitrate supply. Germany was purchasing
one-third of It. She hud expected
to liold the son with lior submarines
but failed. But a process
for extracting nitrogen from tlp> air
had been obtained by Germany some
years before from Italian chemists.
This process lmd been successful In
producing a high grade nitrogenous
fertilizer from which In turn could
be extracted ammonium nitrate. Germany,
therefore, fell to manufacturing
(Vnumnluin nitrate from the uir on n
Inrge scale.
Americans Buy German Secret.
In 1007 an American (yunpany, headed
by Frank S. Washburn, had secured
the American rights to this process

the fertilizer on the Cunn- (

America founrt herself In the World ' i
Wnr the OrrtnancC Department turned j ,
to Mr. Washburn's company for help. I
The Air Nitrates Corporation was 1
formed, with Mr. Washburn nt Its :
heart, to buihl the Muscle Shoals plant.
It was assisted by several other well
known corporations, such as the West- I
lnghouse Church Kerr Company, which I*
put up the plant buildings, the permanent
city and utilities; the J. G. White
Corporation, which designed and constructed
the power plant; the Chemical
Construction Company, which designed
and built the nitric aciJ plant,
and the M. W. Kellogg Company, which
furnished the piping and built the
chimneys.
Beginning work in November, 1017,
the big plant and new city at Muscle
Shoals was completed within one
year's time. Had the expected spring
drive of 1910 materialized this one
plant alone would have been able to
supply 18 per cent of all the high
explosives used by ull the Allied armies
on all fronts during that drive,
and the United States was secure for
all time to come against an ammunition
shortage.
When the arrangement was flually
made for building the big air nitrate
plant, work was begun on a power
dam at the same point. This work Is
being conducted directly by the United
States Engineering Corps. It will
not bo completed, however, for two or

therefore, In order to Insure lntrae- fl
dlate operation when the nitrate plant H
was completed to construct a $10,<>00,imh)
steam power plant, one of the largest
steam plants for the production of
continuous electric power In the world.
I out that had the
water-power plant been completed during
the war It would have been necessary
also to have constructed a steam
plant to Insure the nitrate plant working
at full capacity at all times during
the year.
Plant Worth All It Coat.
Now, this entire Job cost the Government
$00,000,000. It was put through
at a time when the prices of materials
and hthor were at their summit. It
was built at record speed, and speed
costs money. The question naturally
arises, then, as to whether Uncle Sum
got his money's worth.
Tests made after the plant wns In
operation show<tl that ammonium nltr%te
of standard specifications could
he produced at this plant at a cost of
less than one-half the standard tlxed
price paid by the Government for ammonium
nitrate produced by, the older
methods. This cost is only about onefourth
to one-llfth the cost of other
high explosives of equul strength.
Compared with the older process for
making ammonium nitrate, the savings
made by this plant would have
puid for the entire plant In about one
and one-half yenrs of operation.
The Chief value of Jhe Muscle Shoals
plant, however, will be as u defense it
