What Was Accomplished by Enterprise
and Skill on Some Land that Was
Considered Too Poor for
Cultivation.

In Calhoun County Mr.. A. G. Laing
bought for saw mill purposes piney
wood gray lands known as gall-berry
and cypress pond lands, at a cost of
$3.50 per acre.
After saving off the timber ne made
an experiment with this poor land. He
took five acres and prepared them well
using besides quantity of cotton seed
and barn yard manure, one ton of acid
phosphate at SIS to the ton. on each
of these five acres. He made five
bales Of cotton, which he sold at an
average price of 10 cents a pound. or
$3.50 gross.
His expenses were for acid phosphate
SIS; for cultivation and other items.
$50, making total of $125.
He thus cleared on his farming ex.
pertinent $l25. which was outside OF
what ais lumber brought him.

Next to the Peach Borer, this is the
most troublesome boring insect at
lacking the peach in Georgia. Dur
ing some seasons very little injury is
occasioned by this insect, but during
the season of 1905 reports came in to
the entomologist mainly during the
latter part of June and throughout
the month OF July, from which it was
evident that the bark beetle was more

New York, where it was attacking tle

Habits and Nature of Injury: Early

there are who will still assert that
the first writer's were correct Their
statements, however, are not borne out
by observations made in Georgia peach
orchards, as many growers will bear
witness. F. H Chittenden, writing in
1898, cites cases where this insect had
been known to attack apparently
healthy trees, where they adjoined old
and abandoned orchards, and j. NJ. Sted
man states that he has seen peach
trees, which were to ali appearances
perfectly healthy seriously attacked
by the fruit-tree bark-beetle. The
writer has, upon several occasions

size Of a pebble to quite large masses
The deposits vary from one or two feet
to twelve or more in thickness. This
rock contains no heterogeneous organic
matter like bone, but is simply a rock
phosphate. 1t is true, however. that
among the deposits are found many
evidences of life, such as immense
vertebrae of animals, and large teeth
OF shark, marine and other animals.
The South Carolina rock contains from
twenty-six to twenty-eight per cent. of
phosphoric acid. 1t is highly esteem
ed both at home and abroad as a
source of phospboric acid; actual min.
ing began here in 1868.
Florida Phosphates.
The next great discovery of phos-
phate rock in this country occurred
in Florida, in 1883 to 1889. There
are different forms Of this phosphate;
first, we have the land or boulder
phosphate, which occurs in rocky or
stony masses of varying size and form,
and varying from thirty to forty per
cent. of phosphoric acid; second, the
soft" phosphate, a white poWdery ma
terial, mixed with more or less kao-
lin, and containing from eighteen to
thirty per cent. phosphoric acid; third
ly, we have the pebble" form. consist
ing OF small, hard, rounded pebbles,
which occur both in the beds of the
rivers, and in deposits on the land.
They are variable in composition, but
range from thirty to tnirty-six per cent.
of phosphoric acid. The Florida rock
constitutes a very important source of
phospnoric acid, is highly esteemed,
and is used largely both at home and
abroad.
Tennessee Phosphate.
Shortly after the discovery of phos-
pnate rock in Florida, discoveries be-
gan to be made in Tennessee in the
vicinlty of Nashville, and later still i'm.
portant deposits began to be found in
Maury county, Tenn, near Mt. Pleas
ant. This rock. like the others. is
variable in form and composition. but
the marketable varities range from
thirty to thirty-seven per cent. of phes-
phoric acid. There are other impor-
tant phosphate deposits in the world,
but those just described constitute the
important ones for Southern agricul.
ture. Having mentioned the chief
sources of nitrogen and phosphoric
acid, we will take a bird's-eye view
of the sources of polish.

far toward demonstrating that Omaha has
not suffered from the recent amalgamation
