"Thou Shalt Not Spend More Than Thou Earnest" Extravagance and living beyond one's means are aimed at in the new commandment -which Rupert Hughes gives us in the new serial from the pen of this well- known and popular writer that we have secured. The Thirteenth Commandment is an unusually interesting story of modem life set on the fringe of New York high society, describing the straggles of a little group of people working out the problem of romance versus finance.

Darlington, 8. C. and abandoned fields of South Carolina yield a greater profit per sen than the richer river lands, once the pride of the Southern cotton planter, or than the mar. fertile lands ol Texas. Land Values Increased This statement is reflected la the fact that these same lands In parts of South Carolina are selling freely ir more than $100.00 -per acre. I have been dealing with the effect of the fertilizer industry and the use of fertilizers on agriculture, because, as I have said, the effects on business generally must result from the effect on agriculture, and It Is obvious that they must be Innumerable. The top tllizer business In the South is one of the most important, and concerns our prosperity more directly than any other industry, and in its effects no other industry so ramifies into other business or has a greater effect on the Industries and business generally. Helps Railroads and Manufacturers Perhaps among the industries which are more particularly and directly benefited by the use of commercial fertilizers are the railroads and common ] carriers, which first bring fertilisers to the fanners, and In return trans port the Increased products of th« farm to the ends ot the earth; and finally when these products are sold, for a third time, the railroads are called upon to bring to the farmer his supplies of foreign and domestic products. The use of fertilizer has made aaore spindles In the South, more oil mills, more live stock, more people and more commerce. The tobacco crop and oui trucking industry, requiring Intensive fertilization and plant food, would be practically unknown to us. Ships bring raw material from foreign shores in greater quantities and in return carry away more cotton and grain. Cheapens Cost of Producing Crops The commercial business Is affected in even greater proportion than th. farmer hin-sWiv^nd there Is no farmer in the South who' is not benefited by the judicious use of commercial fertilizer. Large crops give to the people a greater supply at a lower cost of production and at a lower pries to the consumer, while on the other hand small crops not only increase the eost of production, but may-increase in even greater proportion the price to the consumer. When harvests are abundant the consumer and produce! alike share in the increased pros»*-r- Bright Williamson, •Agriculture la the bed rock and foundation upon which every other industry must stand or fall. All the people prosper or fall to prosper according to the abundance of the harvest of the soil, and upon agriculture depends the prosperity and happiness of the world. Better methods of agriculture Include the use of modern Implements, modern cultivation and soil improvement. This brings us directly to the Importance of the fertiliser industry as a means of Improving our soils. Fertilizers are absolutely essential in order to increase the fertility of the soil. They have a direct effect upon agricultural production and through the products of agriculture a direct effect Upon all other industries. Anything which contributes to an Increase in our agricultural productions, contributes to the welfare, comfort and prosperity of our people as a whole; and this brings us directly to the consideration of the Importance of the fertilizer Industry In relation to Other lines of business. Fertilizers Necessary In 8outh The very nature of our soil, climate and rainfall makes It Impossible to farm successfully without regularly feeding our crops from artificial sources with at least two of the several principal elements entering into the composition and development of plant Ufe. Without fertilizers much of the best producing cotton lands In the South would become unproductive and fanning would be unprofitable. In many states, except in a few localities, soil is no more capable of producing without being fertilized than Stock is capable of performing work without being fed. Our lands must be fed just as we feed the stock that work them or they will become too poor to even pay the cost and expense of cultivation. Transformed Sections Largo sections of land in various parts of the South Atlantic States, forty or fifty years ago, required four or fivo acres to produce one bale o£ cotton, which now, by intelligent farming, made possible by the use of fertilizers, yield one bale to each acre, or the equivalent, of other crops. Poverty stricken sections of one or two generations ago have been transformed into populous and prosperous communities. Our ability to rebuild and Caake our lands more fertile has enabled people to live and settle in jjiore desirable communities, and to enjoy advantages of better markets, schools, churches __;_ __-*->&! conditions. Better rural conditions have made the "back to the farm" movement not oniy a possibility, but a reality. Prosperity Due to Fertilizers Whatever may be the direct benefit. it Is obvious from a study of the situation that the present prosperity* and greater population iu South Carolina la due more largely to the use of commercial fertilizers than to any other cause, because in South Carolina fertilizers are absolutely necessary to profitable agriculture, upon which most Of our business and other Industries depend. Had It not been for the use of commercial fertilizers South Carolina could not be considered an agricultural state.

Other means ot cheapening the cos! of production can be used profitably ly __t. a very large or on a verj small scale, but fertilizers can be ap* 1 with practically the same success to the smallest, as well as the largest undertaking from the individual plant in the flower pot to the thousand acre cotton field. It was my pleasure some years ago to know many more manufacturers and dealers In fertilizers than I know at present, but I wish to testify te the high character and intelligence ol those with whom J became associated. The proper use of commercial fertilizer by the farmer Is obviously of vital importance to the fertilizer industry as well as tc the farmer, and it is a matter that should receive thought and careful consideration at all times by those who promote the t-d-S-tnr.

BATES TO BREED BEEF COWS To Secure Uniform Herd of Calves Definite Time of Year Should Be Decided Upon. (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture.) In order to have a uniform herd of calves, cows should be bred at a definite time of year with this point la view. For fall and early winter .aires (November and December)* cows should be bred during February and March. For spring calves (February and March), which In most cases ts a ; desirable date to have the calves dropped, the cows should be bred during May and June. Where milk for family use during winter months to not an Important consideration cows may be more cheaply wintered, and calves escape flies and hot weather when dropped at that time. In all breeding operations pure-bred sires only should be used. Breeders of pure-bred cattle, who desire to grow calves for exhibition-, should breed their cows from the 1__ to the 15th of December to product- calves of senior classification, and from the 1st to the 15th of April for calves of junior rating.
