tilizers profitable, we call attention to
the results obtained at the Tennessee
Station and noticed this week in the
Cream of the Bulletins. In these ex-
periments it was shown that fifteen
tons of stable manure per acre in
creased the yield of wheat on bare fall
low 1911 bushels per acre, while fer
tilizers alone on a poor soil failed to
increase the yield more than from three
to five bushels, and in a dry season
were used at a loss. And yet all over
the country and especially in the Mid
die South, men are depending on $50
to 200 pounds per acre of complete fer
tilzer on poor land, and wonder that
the yield of wheat is so small. The
Tenne see experiments also showed that
where COW peas were plowed down
there was an increase in the wheat
crop of five to eleven bushels per acre
in favorable season, and from three
TO eight in dry one. This all shows
the Importance of humus in conserv-
ing the moisture in the soil. The fer
tilizers applied to the poor soil doubt
less had more available plant food than
the stable manure, but associated with
the stable manure was a large amount
OF humusm making and moisture-retain-
ing vegetable matter, and the plant
food was better dissolved while in
dry season the fertilizers alone were
wasted. This is the point on which we
have insisted for years. Land desti-
tute of humus seldom returns a fair
profit from the use of commercial fer
tilizers, especially in dry season, be-
cause of the lack of moisture to dis
solve it, while in a soil Astounding in
vegetable decay at the same time the
results from fertilizers will be good.
There is no. better argument for the
nf
than the results Prof. Soule secured in
Tennessee.

ST. ANDREWS DAY
OBSERVED TO-DAY.
Special Services Announced for This
Morning In Christ Church.

Special Services Announced for This
Morning In Christ Church.
To-day is st. Andrews Day, and it
is observed with more or less cere-
mony in all Roman Catholic and
Protestant Episcopal Churches. Special
services are held in many of the Scotch
Presbyterian Churches and the custom
is almost universal among this denom-
ination in the old country. In Savan-
nah but one special service has been
announced. Rev. Robb White. rector
OF Christ Church, announces that Holy
Communion will be administered this
morning at 9 o'clock.
No special services have been an
nounced in the Catholic Churches,
though references to the day will prob
ably be made by the clergy at the
usual weekday masses. The observ-
ance of the day, which was general
in the early history of the church, has
fallen OFF, and to-day it is significant
only as determining the beginning of
Advent Advent, by an edict of Greg
DRY the Great, begins with the Sunday
nearest ST Andrews Day.
st. Andrew was the first disciple and
one of the apostles of Jesus. His ca
reer after his Masters death is UNI
known, tradition being all that makes
any mention of him. Legend tells us
that after preaching the gospel in
Scythia, Northern Greece and Epirus,
he suffered martyrdOm on the cross at
Patrae, in Achaia, some time between
81 and 20 A. D. The anniversary of st.
Andrew always falls on Nov. 80.
About 740 A. d. st. Andrew became
the patron saint of Scotland. Legend
here tells that, warned in a dream,
one of the early church fathers brought
some of the bones of st. Andrew to
Scotland, interring them at the place
now known as st. Andrews. This is
the scene of many OF the early strug-
giles of the church and the lives of the
Scottish martyrs are inseparably con-
nected with st. Andrews and the tower
and monastery there.
A white satire on a blue ground, to
represent the X-shaped cross on which
St. Andrew suffered martyrdom, has
been from an early date adopted as the
national banner of Scotland. 1t is COM
bined with the crosses of st. George
and st. Patrick in the Union Jack of
England, The Scottish Order of the
Thistle is sometimes known as the Or
der of st. Andrew.
St. Andrew is also held in highest
reverence in Russia. The Russian Or
der of st. Andrew is the highest in the
empire and was founded by Peter the
Great in 1898. 1t has out one class
and is confined to members or tie i'm
perial family, princes and persons of
the rank of general who already hold
two other important orders. The badge
of the order shows on the diverse side
the double-headed eagle, crowned, on
which is st. Andrews Cross. The cross
is enameled in blue, with a figure of
the saint
Around this first disciple cluster some
of the sweetest legends of the church
and the early Christian fathers. Much
has been written concerning him, and
yet nearly all is a peculiar admixture
of legend, poetry and story, with but
few facts ON which to build.

SPECIAL SERMON
TO JUNIOR MECHANICS.
THANKSGIVING Service Conducted By
Rev. ID. 5. EdenfieId.

The union Thanksgiving service of
the Junior Order United American
Mechanics was held last night at the
South Side Baptist Church. An elo-
quent and forceful sermon was deliv-
cred before the combined lodges of the
city by the pastor of the church, Rev.
D. S. Edenfield. Besides the members
of the order there were large num-
Der of outsiders present. The musical
renditions of the church choir were
features of the service.
At a call from The ranking officer in
Savannah the members of the lodges
of the order assembled at their hall
on Bull and Charlton street at 1880
O'Clock. Each lodge was represented
by nearly its entire membership, max
ing a total of nearly 500. From the
lodge room the members proceeded to
the church in body and filed into the
seats that had been reserved for them
in the front.
After the customary opening serv-
ices and the reading of an appropriate
scripture passage, Rev. Mr.. Edenfield
addressed the order from the theme,
THANKSGIVING" The text was taken
from the One Hundred and Third
Psalm, the eighth and tenth verses:
THE Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and plenteous in mercy.
He hath not dealt with us after our
sins; nor rewarded US according to
our iniquities"
In beginning his sermon Rev. Mr..
Edenfield called attention to the many
kindnesses which had been showered
upon the people of the United States
during the year which is just closing.
Upon the Junior Mechanics, as an or
der He has also showered his mercies
and has strengthened them in many
ways. The order has grown and
prospered during the year and to-day
is stronger than ever with a bright
future opening before 1t.
A brief but comprehensive review
of the history of the organization since
its foundation in 1858 was then given
