under a crop of wheat that would
make rs bushels per acre and was
worth $50 or more per acre, 1t might
be said that 1t did not cost him that
much. The fact is that the crop of
peas plowed under cost the farmer just
as much as they would have been
worth to feed. There is no doubt that
the blowing under of the whole dead
and finished growth will give greater
results in the soil directly than the
cutting off of the crop and feeding it
and depending on the stubble and
roots. But he has lost the feeding
value of the hay, which is far greater
than the manurial value of the tops,
and in the feeding he could recover
in the manure large part of the ma
nurial matter in the feed. 1t is re-
marked that the pea vines are hard
to cure. We have been curing them
for twenty years and have never fail
ed to make good hay as easily as
with any other crop used for hay.
While the vines do not cure as quickly
as red top hay they are just as east
ly cured as the grass If given time,
and are not injured by rain on them as
other hay is apt to be. Where one
has land in fairly good heart it is
certainly poor farm economy to sac
rffice a valuable feed crop as manure

sible it may pay for a while to bury

eral fertilizers that will stay in the
sod is gotten there more cheaply than
1t can be hauled there, but when the
land is capable of making a heavy
growth of peas it is certainly more
profitable to feed than to bury them,
and for cattle and horses there is no
hay better nor SO good as that made
from the cow pea. With a crop which
will enable the Northern dairyman to
save the purchase of bran for his cows
while at the same time improving his
land, he is losing too much to afford
to use the peas themselves as manure,
and then taking cash to buy bran
The interest of the dairyman and cat
tie feeder lies in getting cheap pro-
TEN, and he can get 1t more cheaply
in the COW pea than in any other way,
for it is perfectly possible with one
of the 60-day peas like the Warren or
the Early Black Eye, to grow a feed
crop after the small grain is harvested
over large part of the Middle states.
Put the crop through the COW before
putting 1T on the land. Soil improve
ment is important, but good farming
means doing it in the most profitable
ana economical way.

Where Does Nitrogen Come From.

"here Does Nitrogen Come From
1t long has been taught that the le-
gumes have the power of taking nitro
gen from the air and depositing it,
through the agency of a special bac-
terra, in small tubercles or nodules on
the roots of the plants. and in this
manner the soil is greatly enriched,
says the Farmers Voice. While this
theory is quite generally accepted,
some Of our most learned scientists
contend that the nitrogen comes large
~ from the soil and is made available
by the action of the particular micro
organisms, which the particular le-
gume introduces.
1t is not necessary to consider evil
dence in support OF either view. We
know that in some way land is i'm
proved by growing leguminous crops
on 1t. 1t will grow larger grain crops
thereafter. Whether the nitrogen,
which perhaps is largely responsible
for the better yields, comes from the
air or the soil is of little practical i'm
portance to the farmer. 1t is known,
however, that in many cases there are
more and larger nitrogen nodules on
the roots of leguminous crops growing
in rich soil than on the same kind of
crops in thin or poor soils.
Legumes not only improve the chem
ical condition of the soil, but vastly
improve it's physical texture. They
seem possessed of number of import
ant functions. The nitrogen found in
the soil as a result of growing legumes
may already have been present in an
unavailable form, or it may come from
the air, of which it is an essential and
large constituent. But that it is both
possible and practicable to maintain
or increase the fertility of the farm by
growing legumes in a rotation with
grain crops is not to be doubted.
| Soy beans or COW peas turned under
late in the fall for corn will increase
the yield from ten to fifteen bushels
per acre. These great legumes will
thrive nearly anywhere in this coun-
try, though their northern limit is per-
! haps seventy-f1ve or one hundred miles
south of the Canadian border. They
viii succeed splendidly in the corn belt
and it is strange that so few farmers
appreciate this fact

The gathering of the editors of Geor-
gia at Savannah last week was one
of the most enjoyable in the history of
the association. They came from the
mountains to the seaboard.
And that spread at "Wimberlyi" 1t
will remain a fragrant memory for
years; unconventional, and yet season
ed by knightly courtesies and those
charming amenities which sweeten in
tercourse. the occasion will never fade
or grow dim The warm hand clasp
of friends and co-workers, the kindly
greetings of many who had not met
in the history of the press of Georgia.
1t was "a day off, from the ceaseless
grind of Office work. d reunion day,
a day devoted to pleasure, and we
are sure that everyone returned to his
desk refreshed and invigorated. and
better equipped for the never7ending
and constantly exacting duties which
meet the journalist at every turn.
And for all this the participants are
indebted to Col. ]. H. Estill. His splen-
did hospitality and cordial greeting OF
his confreres, like Savannahs hospi-
tally was above criticism. Col. Estill
is justly proud of the fact that for
twenty years he was president of the
Georgia Press Association, an organ
ization which, in season and out OF sea-
son, has worked heroically for the up
building of Georgia. No state in this
broad Union has cleaner or ADLER news

S.vANNAH,s HOSPITALITY.

Jackson Herald: The entire General
Assembly attended the State Fair at
Savannah last week, and what an en-
ioyable time everybody had. The day
was not counted as a legislative day.
In other words the General Assembly
took holiday the day that body attend
ed the Fair. For genuine, old-fashion-
ed Southern hospitality, the people of
Savannah are ahead Of any people IN
the whole country. 1t seemed to be
the hearts desire of every person in
Savannah to contribute something to
our pleasure and enjoyment. Senator
7. Ferris Cam one of the brightest
young men in Georgia; Mayor Herman
Myers. who, it is conceded by every
body, is one of the best Mayors In TINS

of the Morning News, and fine fel-
low he is. too, all deserve special men

the sense that your friends are not
people of to-day. nor of yesterday. You
feel that they have been here all the

are simply in a blissful state and want

The visit Of the press to Savannah is
ancient history and too late for Social
Season to dwell upon the glorious
speeches of President Henry Cabaniss,
Col Estill, Hon. Pope Barrow, Pope
Brown, j. c. Halle, Pleasant Stovall,
and B. w. Wrenn. All this has passed
into history. but not far enough to
provoke compositions or orations upon
them. But at the risk of printing stale
news, we can not leave the subject
without a word about the wonderful
fish dinner given by Col. Estill in hon
or of the press, at his country home on
the Isle of Hope.
Beginning with terrapin stew, he left
no stone unturned, or rather no fish
uncaught, to give us a taste of it's
kind, and it is we'll to say, the guests
left no dish untouched, even to the
great oyster roast, afterwards. 1t is a
long to be remembered occasion, for
more reasons than one.
In bidding adieu to Mrs. Estill the
Social Season spoke of the delightful
feast, also of the splendid speech made
by her husband. Her reply was,
Speech making is not Col. Estill s
fort. Actions, not words. speak for him.
A man who is as noble and good to

The city authorities turned Savan-
nah for the time being, over to our
body. Nowhere, in all our travels,
have we seen an equal of the hospi-
tally displayed by the Savannah peo-
pie.
Col. Estill made everybody welcome
to partake of his hospitality, and stat
ed that he was proud to have the hon.
or to be with his brother editors and
have them as his guests. He also stat
ed that he was a candidate for Cow
ernor of Georgia, and that if elected
he would serve the people honestly and
faithfully. To see the affability Col
Estill had in the convention of editors
it was evident that a large majority
present would be his supporters for
Governor. Anyway the other aspirants
for gubernatorial honors would do we'll
to put in good work or come down and
out. We were all baptized with the
joy of our trip to Savannah. the city
of hospitality and land of oysters.

used his paw, of course, but he was
very particular and behaved with ex-
traordinary decorum. When he
had finished his fish I sometimes
gave him piece of mine. One day he
was not to be found when the dinner
bell rang, SO We began without him.
Just as the plates were being put
around for the entree, puss came

Perhaps So.

By the way, while we are cogitat-
ing about the failure Of the Charles
ton exposition appropriation, where
was the junior senator and his alleged
powerful influence! Is it not to be
used for his own State?-Columbia
State.
This is characteristic. The State
knows full we'll that McLaurin's
powerful influence" was not solic.
tied. Il has become quite evident
that the managers of the appropria-
tion on the part of the exposition not
only ignored their own Congressman
Elliot, but also Senator McLaurin;
and it has been quite clear all along
that if the appropriation had sue
ceeded Senator Tillman and Congress-
man Latimer were to get the credit,
no matter who may have done the
work. If The State were not aware
OF the facts, it would be justified in
trying to teach it's readers otherwise.
But neither The State nor the e1-
position people have any right to
blame Senator McLaurin now. AS
to whether the senator could have
gotten the appropriation had he un-
dertaken the management of it, is, so
far as We are concerned, only a mat
ter OF speculation: but whether he
succeeded or not, we feel pretty sure
that he would never have been bun
coed as Senator Tillman and Con-
gresham Latimer seems to have
