| growing OF grasses and forage planE
| in Lieu of part of the cotton and TO-
bacco. Southern farmers are making
a brave fight to conquer this difficulty
and, thanks to the excellent charactet
of the soils and climatic conditions, i
is believed that they will succeed. Ma
ture herself, if left alone, goes tt
work at once to cover these bare plac
es, and extensive areas in the South
which had become too worn for cult
walton are already growing up in tim
Der that will be available for the mex
genera ton. The trouble in the past
was that the Southern farmer had toe
much land He has now learned to
confine his attention to more linn
tied area and to let nature to farm
the remainder, as she always does
in her peculiar and most benefcient
manner.
Beginning in the early seventies
Immediately after the discovery of the
Carolina phosphates of South Caro-
lima, the Southern farmer made a
brave effort to maintain the fertility
of the soil by using fertilizers. While
chemical manures have unquestiona-
bly, been of great benefit to the South
they have not accomplished all that
was expected of them in the perma-
nent improvement of the soil. A good
commercial fertilizer promotes the
permanent improvement of the soil
when applied to grasses and forage
plants, but when used on hoed crops is
liable to be Of less benefit. Unfortu-
nately forthe South, the fertilizers used
were applied almost exclusively to cot
ton and tobacco, which are kept very
clean with the hoe or the cultivat tor
throughout the entire summer, caus-
ing all remainders of the fertilizer tC
be either washed out or locked up in
insoluble mineral compounds.
1t is feared that Southern farmers
are still using their chemical fertili-
zers too recklessly and indiscriminate-
ly For a long time they paid toe
much for them in proportion to theil
composition, though 1t is not rroba-
BILE that they do this now. In man,
cases Southern farmers are still using
commercial manures blindly and ig-
DOrant1v .val11ab1e fertilizer deDondS
upon the ingredients it contains, and
not upon the brand upon the sack. A
fertilizer is valuable not because ii Is
marked "Complete Fertilizer for To
hacco,' for example, but chiefly fol-
the nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash which it contains. The farmer
should, therefore, pay strict attention
to the constituents of the fertilizer
when he buys it, and leave out of view
it's name, it's bulk, weight and every
thing else. He should remember tina
he is simply buying so many pounds
of nitrogen, potash and phosphori(
acid in good forms, and calculate Wha
he is paying for them, regardless O
the total weight of the lot. In many
cases he can probably buy these coz
stituents in separate compounds OF
materials and mix them at home t
good advantage.
Another important thing to be con

SclllHS UHe cheapest form OF mdterl-
al that the particular plant can assim-
late. For example, the different phos-
pilates used in fertilizers differ widely
in availability, that is, in the readi-
ness with which they are taken up by
plants Different plants have been
found to vary greatlyin their capacity
to absorb given phosphate. This
was well illustrated by a little expert
ment recently published by the Maine
Experiment Sta alton. Soluble phos-
phoric acid, made from Florida phos-
phate, was tried under a crop of tur-
nips alongside of insoluble phosphoric
acid in the Florida phosphate, insolu-
BILE phosphoric acid in Redonda phos-
phate, and no phosphate at all. 1t is
well known that this crop usually re-
spends most readily to superphos-
phates The experiment showed, how
ever, that the turnip has the ability to
take up the insoluble phosphate of the
Florida rock quite as we'll as it does
rock; but it could not absorb the in
soluble phosphate ofthe Redonda rock.
This experiment teaches, thus, that
we may as well save three or four
dollars ton by using the insoluble
Florida phosphate instead of the SOL
uble phosphate, or superphosphate, as
it is commonly called, which had al
ways heretofore been recommended
for turnips. This illustration shows
the necessity Of making experiments
and of studying their results.
Another thing that the farmer
should bear in mind in regard to fer
tilizers is, that their agricultural val
ue is a totally different thing from q.
their so-called commercial value The /
latter is controlled by the state of the
market, while the agricultural value is
determined by the soils, the crop,
method of cultivation and many other
things, some of which can be con-
trolled by the farmer himself. Prob
dUlV TIE ulOSu LII OOfldnC OF CnoSo con-
ditiOns is the amount of moisture in
the soil. By cultivation we can in a
great measure determine whether the
soil will maintain much or little
moisture, and this will often deter
mine the success or failure of the fer
tilizer.
Professor Voorhees,, of the New Jer-
sey Station, has explained this very
happily. He says:
''The profit from the use of fertiliz-
ers is measured to a large degree by
the perfection of soil conditions when
are entirely within the power of the
farmer to control. The production
possible from definite amount OF
plant food can be secured only when
the conditions are such as to permit
its proper solution, distribution and
retention by the soil.
"The fact that fertilizers may now
be easily secured and are easily APP
piled has encouraged careless use
rather than thoughtful expenditure
| of perhaps an equivalent amount OF
money or energy in the proper prep
| ara iOn of the soil for Them OF

cOttOnSooQ meal, SO Cndl we IlnQ OOV-
ernor Hoard advising his Wisconsin
dalrymen to make special study OF
protein-yielding crops or else to use
cottonseed meal. We of the South
know that to grow for this purpose,
for, in addition to cottonseed meal, we
have an inexhaustible resource in the
cow pea, which belongs peculiarly to
the South, as the red clover does to
the North, or alfalfa to the Western
States, for the cow pea grows best
upon sandy loan or very light soils,
which are not we'll adapted to either
of the above crops. At the same time,
it is a great nitrogen gatherer, and al
most as good an improver of the soil
as red clover itself. The cow pea will
grow well in all portions of the South,
from the sandy or gravelly lands OF
Piedmont Virginia to the ''black,
waXy" prairies of Texas. Upon the
WORKOUT uplands it serves the excel
lent purpose of supplying large
quantity of nutritious forage, which
all animals eat most readily. 1t serves,
at the same time, to cover the soil dur
ing the growing season, preventing
washing, which is a great curse of
such lands, while it leaves a great lot
of roots in the soil to hold them to-
gether during after years. These roots
enter deeply into the ground, opening
and loosening it far down for the ben
eft of succeeding crops, while, as is
well understood NOW, they store large
supplies of nitrogen in it for their bet
ter nutrition. We can, therefore, use
no better crop in the South for green
manuring than cow peas.
AS Mr.. Edward atkinson expresses
| it, the Southern farmer needs, above
everything else, to ''learn BEANS" that
! is, to learn the economic value of leg
luminous plants, which manufacture
for us the protein, the most costly ele-
ment of all our feeds. The lesson is
an important one, for if the Southern
farmer will merely learn the value OF
the cow pea he will not need to give
much attention to any other "beans.'
This plant is SO perfectly adapted to
all the needs and conditions of South
ern agriculture, assisting the farmer
in restoring WORKOUT soils, providing
heterogeneous food, either direct or in
the form of ensilage, that there Is
scarcely a chance left for any of the
other leguminous plants, many OF
which grow just as well in the South
as they do anywhere.
No paper on the needs of Southern
agriculture would be complete with
out some reference to the great prob
lem of conserving and increasing the
fertility of the soil. Owing to the very
friable character of the soil, the con
tinued clean culture in hoed crops ant
| the abundant summer rains, thOus
ands of acres of land in the Appalach
ian region have been partially denud
ed of their top soil as result. How
| to restore the humus to these soils
and to clothe the gulleys with verdurt
once more is indeed a great problem
1t demands the best thought and eff

ana henUucky corn contained more al
buminoids than New = DIRK, and about
the same fat content. ''The expert
ment simply indicates says the bull
letin, without proving, the Southern
grown corn to be richer in albumin
oids and fats Mr.. McBryde, of the
Tennessee Station, who has made a
very complete and elaborate compila-
ton of analyses of Southern feeding
stuffs, doubts whether this is true of
many Southern materials, but holds
that there s''little difference in chem
zeal composition between Northern
and SOuthern-grOwn crops OF the
same plant" Every authority con-
cedes that the Southern-grown are just
as nutritious, however, as the North
ern-grown in every case.
The great forage plant Of the South,
as of the whole of America, is, how
ever, Indian corn. 1t is justly emit
tied to be called the king forage plan
of the world. Every portion of it is
good food for animals if it is properly
harvested and prepared. The grain IS
the great staple cattle food Of Amer
lea. 1t has been the custom in the
South for many years to save the "fod-
der" consisting of the leaves pulled
and tied in bundles, and the "tOps,'
for forage. Recently we have learned
to cut the whole plant when about half
the leaves have died. as has long been
the custom in the North and the West.
Since we have introduced this prac
tice. and have learned how to cure tbs
whole plant, which is thing some
what difficult to do because it cam vt
be stored in bulk as hay is stored, and
especially since the introduction #
the Observation-Disclosures, the Southern
farmer, like all of our other American
farmers, has come to appreciate this
plant as he never did before. The diff
ferent parts of the corn plant vary lit
tie in composition. The leaves, called
fodder" in the South, are even more
nutritious than timothy hay, and the
stalks, husks or 'shtcks," as they are
called in the South, are but little in
ferior to this hay. The analysis OF the
whole plant gives us a composition
which is scarcely inferior to that of
the best timothy or other grasses.
DR.. j. B. Lindsey, of the Massachu-
setts Experiment Station, as authority
for the statement that ''whole corn
stover and it's separate parts are rath-
err more digestible than timothy, and
decidedly more so than oat straw. y
His conclusions may well be quoted
in this connection. "Chemical and di-
gestion experiments both show that
corn-stover contains fully as many
pounds of actual food material as an
equal quantity of the best grass or
hay.' "The best husks are all valua-
BILE for food; hence, and plant should
be cut when the corn is ripe, carefully
cured and housed. In order that ii
be eaten clean, corn-stover should be
cut often and shredded before being
fed. 1t should not be fed alone, as il
makes a one-sided or carbonaceous
food: it should be fed in combination
with by-products rich in protein, like

TELLER rs FOR BRYAN.
Thinks Him the Logical Candidate for
the Presidency i'm 900.

DENVER, June S.-Senator Teller de-
clares that there is no basis whatever
for the report that 100000 has been
raised in the Western States for the
purpose of combating Hon. William j.
Bryan's leadership of the silver forces.
''The silver Republicans said the
Senator, practically have not had a
cent contributed directly to their cause
In fact, they are in want of money for
the purpose of distributing silver liter
allure. What money has been raised in
the West from silver Republicans has
been turned over to Chairman Jones of
the National Democratic Committee. 1t
has not been much, but it goes to show
how much there is in this story about
our hostility to Bryan.
81 believe Bryan is the legitimate
and logical candidate for President in
1900, and as time rolls on he will be
more and more the legitimate and log
ical candidate. 1 believe he will be the
nominee of the silver forces in the next
national campaign, and that there will
be no difficulty in their combining on
him.
"As to the statement about my being
here. for the purpose of raising funds
to defect the sentiment of the silver
Republicans against Bryan, that is ut
terly false. It is we'll known that BUSH
ness demands that 1 remain in Colo

seems to have been designed for the
