From the Eighth.

The Jr. o. u. A. M. camp has
closed and it proved to be a success
in every way, Notwithstanding the
unfavorable weather. A large at
tendance was present each day.
On Sunday, both day and evening,
the crowd was so large that hitch
ing room was scarce. The best OF
order prevailed at all times and
John Barleycorn was noticeably
absent. The various orders of the
Sth are to be congratulated for the
good influence they are having in
this section.
The camp was held on the
ground of the "Old Log Cabin"
school house, which was burned
down some years ago, on the John
Fulton property, now owned by
W. M. Fulton. 1t is a historic
spot and many of the prominent
families of the 8th of q generation
back received their early education
within the walls of the old log
structure and afterward became
men of note.
Robert Dempsey was thrown from
a load of oats while harvesting
for Chas. Grubb. Had it not been
for Harry Hathaway, Jr., stopping
the horses in time, the wagon
would have passed over and crush
ed him. AS it was, he. was badly
bruised about the head and
shoulders.
The oats crop is very light and
of a very poor quality. Most of it
will hardly pay for the harvesting.
The tomato crop is also a failure,
both caused by too much wet wealth
er. Some fields are being plowed
down and put in buckwheat. The
potato crop is also poor.
Blackberry season is here but the
berries are scarce.
The corn and buckwheat are
about all the poor farmer has left
to depend on for crop this season.

WORN OUT LAND,
1t Can BE Restored to Fertility by
Judicious FertiliZing.

1t Can BE Restored to Fertility by
Judicious Fertilizing.
QUEsTIoN.-What can be done to re-
store my worn out land?
A gentleman, who removed to Geor-
gia from one of the states of the great
west few years ago, visited Atlanta
during the Interstate Fair, held in Octc.
Der. In speaking of worn out lands he
said that Georgia farmers were not the
only ones who by an exhaustive system
of cultivation had deprived good lands
of their fertility. When people began
TO settle up the western states and found
lands that gave yields of 10 and 90
bushels of wheat to the acre, thew
used the same land year after year with
out returning anything to the soil. with
the result that the yield diminished un.
til bushel' to the acre was the besS
that could be obtained. Some of them
quit farming and began the raising OF
blooded cattle for the dairy and for beef,
saving the manure and applying it to
the land in order to improve the pas.
ture grounds. 1t was soon discovered
that wherever cattle were kept the land
was being rapidly restored to its orig
nal fertility. Now there is no such
thing as worn out lands among good
farmers in the west Skillful fertiliza-
ton and rotation of crops keeps the
land productive.
This gentleman purchased place in
Georgia on which most of the land was
what is called worn out. He went to
work to build it up according to the
methods SO often recommended by this
department. viz: judicious fertilizing
with both commercial and homemade
fertilizers. studying the nature of has
soil and trying to supply it with the ele-
ments most necessary for it's renewal.
Among other things he purchased sew
eral fine Jerseys, which supplied him
with milk and butter not only for home
consumption, but also for sale. The
droppings from these COWS were care.
fully collected and applied to the land in
some places alone and in others in COM
bination with other fertilizers. He
rotated his crops also and now considers
his farm among the best of its size in
middle Georgia. He regards the pea
vine hay as one of the best restorers of
land and thinks highly also of the velvet
bean. This gentleman says that no land
that has ever been good can become 80
exhausted that it's fertility cannot be re-
stored by skillful farming. Agri-
