DO COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS
WORK TO INJURY OF SOIL?
Bv Martin ". Calvin.

A few days ago, DR.. Duncan, the gen.
al and accomplished senator FROM the
tenth district; X. c. Berckmans, one of
the best informed and most progressive
horticultlrists in the south, and the writ
er met in the lobby of the Kimball f1ause.
Senator Duncan propounded a question
which resulted in free and interesting
interchange of views and experiences. The
question was: do Commercial Fertilizers
lnjure the SOil?
The thought embraced in the question
related. of course, to the free and contin
ued use of such fertilizers, and was an
outcome of positive affirmative declara-
tons occasionally made along that line.
Mr.. Berckmans suggested that what
ever one result might seem to have come
from the use of commercial fertilizers
was attributable more to a lack of rota-
ton of crops; that, oftimes. the best re-
suits were not developed for the rea-
In 1880 Georgia stood next to Mississippi
Do they impoversh the soil?
1t was further suggested that in many
cases the purchaser of fertilizers was
compelled to use the brand or grade
which his factor or. merchant Glanced to
handle: further much greater attention
is given in these latter days to feeding
the plant with food adapted TO it without
regard to adding to the fertility of the
soil
have seen the question, that was pro
pounded by Senator Duncan in general
way and for the purpose of eliciting infor-
nation presented under other forms, all
of which shows that it is matter of
general interest.
| have had frequent occasions to d.
rect attention to the fact that, as the
advent of commerce fertilizers, the
northern boundary of the cotton belt was
only a few miles above Atlanta; since
that time it has been extended northward
by the use of commercial fertilizers, 30
miles. The fact is, today, 1873 of the 1871
counties of this state are cotton produc-
ing counties, and this condition has been
brought about more by the use of com
mercial fertilizers than any other cause
or influence.
This new and helpful agent has not only
made cotton culture possible in north
Georgia, but it has enabled the north
Georgia farmers. in the face of a short
season, to obtain an average Yield per
acre equal to leading counties in the cot
ton belt
This subject is interesting for the rea-
son that the farmers of Georgia annually
expended a large amount of money for
this class of fertilizers.
ln18s0 Georgia stood next to Mississippi
in cotton production, in 1890 the same;
in 1900 Texas forged ahead Of Mississippi
and Georgia. Soil conditions considered,
it is clear that commercial fertilizers have
done great good in Georgia.
DO they impcVerish the soil?
do not care about estimates prefer TO
deal with results. With this thought in
mind. it occurred to me, a moment ago,
TO look up results as developed in south
and north Georgia on the line of Senator
Duncan's inquiry

LEVEEs GIVE WAY BEFORE TIRE
MENDoUs PRESSURE.
RIVER CONTINUES TO RISE
Channel May Change so az to Leave
G%reenviiIe, Miss, in the
Interior.

Memphis, Tenn, March 2O.-In
spite Of heroic work by hundreds Of
men, the levee near Pecan Point, 40
miles north, is reported to have given
way early today and a vast column OF
water is running through a crevasse
400 feet wide. The Pecan Point is 20
miles north Of Trice's landing, where
the first break occurred, and the addi-
tional food being let into the St.
Francis basin will cause the waters
to Use more rapidly through the low
lands.
The reports Of the %sufferings of the
people at Marion are believed to be
somewhat exaggerated. Every oppor-
tnnity has been given those remain
ing to remove out Of the flooded dis
trict, but they decline to leave. There
is some talk of dynamiting the levee
opposite Marion, but so far no action
in this direction has been taken.
Chief Engineer Parr, of the St. Fran
els board, left today on the govern
ment steamer M~innetonka for Pecan
point and the levees from that point
will be closely watched. Another
break is reported at North Helena,
where the waters a%re.rushing through
an eight-foot gap in the small levee,
flooding the district and driving many
negroes to high lands. Residents
along the river south of here are be-
coming alarmed in anticipation of the
rise to come when the waters begin
to fall at Memphis. The river here to-
day continues to rise slowly, the
gauge marking 4O.1 feet. This is a
rise of one-tenth in "a hours. The
railroad situation on the west side of
the river is unchanged. No trains
are moving and it will be several
days before the waters recede so the
tracks a be put in shape for traffic.
Greenville, Miss, March 20.-The
protection dyke at Leland, Ark, is
rapidly slipping into the river, and it
is now probable that the river will
seek a new channel, leaving Green
vile in the interior. The situation is
most grave.
The river is four feet above the 1897
mark. and rising at the rate of half a
foot a day. Heavy rains fell during
the night. which will retard work on
the dyke and add to the danger. The
levee from Lunar to Leland is seeping
badly. but the engineers do not re-
gard this with apprehension.
