Britons Seek Georgia Lands.

A gentleman in position to know,
who has for several years been con.
nected with the land interests of Nor
man W. Dodge in Laurens, Montgom-
cry and Dodge counties, states that
large syndicate of EngIishmen is now
negotiating with Mr. Dodge for the
purchase Of about 10000 acres. The
syndicate represents English cotton
mill men and, while nothing definite
is known, it is not thought unlikely
that their purpose is to cultivate all
this large tract Of land in cotton.
Their plan may also be to establish
cotton mills near by. The Dodge in
terest comprises some of the finest
land for the raising of cotton in the
south. Most of the timber has been
cut from it and it would take only
a short time to have it producing
thousands of bales of cotton.

Mysteries OF the ages.

During that wonderful and myster1-
Gus period, popularity spoken OF as
"before the ice age" in other terms,
the pre-glacial period, nature expressed
herself with a lavish abandon Oh
which we can form but a faint idea.
The primeyal rivers were mighty tor
rents, instruments OF ~stupendous meta
morphic energy. In their work OF
erosion and d~issolving, vast quantities
of gold were freed from combining EN-
bedment and deposited along their
channels. Through untold ages, per-
haps, this work of ~uncoVerlng and
observation-disclosures prehistoric gold
mining and storing-continued, or
until that particular formative cycle
was completed. Then the earth passed
into the travail throes of more ener-
getic formation, as expressed in vol
canic and glacial action. Fierce vol
canoes sent forth their molten streams,
filing up ~ravines and gorges, creating
new elevations and depressionS, n
burying deep under layers of volcanic
debris, the old river beds, the evicted
waters of which laboriously wrought
out new channels for themselves. Fol-
lowing this storm time came a season
of comparative quiet in which the
newly located streams were permit
ted to take up again with diminished
force the old work of tearing down,
dissolving and dropping the freed gold
along their channels. In some in
stances old beds were crossed and
broken into by the new streams and
additional deposits mingled with their
uncovered treasures. At last came the
long winter of glacial action, from
which the earth emerged transformed,
with little of the primeval surface left
save the giant redwood forest region.
Such, briefly summarized, Is the geo
logic record, as read by modern sci
e%ntists, of the changes that immedi-
ately preceded our own period. Pos
sibly, certain giant trees of the Cali
fornia redwood parks which have
swayed in the Pacific Ocean winds for
thousands of years-at least their own
ancestors-might have observed from
their undisturbed abode the stupen-
dous changes in progress at their very
doorway. Had they the gift of speech
they could reveal, as no other living
thing could do, the state secrets OF
Nature, including that of the buried
rivers.

THE FIELD OF BATTLE

the other new feature was a blowing
contest in which only boys partici-
pated. Flowing is not altogether q
bad sport either, no matter in what
light you look upon it. This was il
Illustrated by the participants who
proved to the spectators that in order
to be a good plowman, one must be
somewhat of a civil engineer, as well
as an excellent horseman.
Flowing as commonly done Is often
considered as drudgery, and so it is
for the th%oughtless, careless plowman,
who has no other object in view than
that OF making the field look black.
But there is no other farm operation
which requires more knowledge to UNI
derstand or more skill to do we'll, than
does the simple art of blowing. The
contestants had in mind making a
straight furrow of even depth and
width, turning it squarely over so as
to cover all stubble and weeds. Each
one took pains to start in squarely and
evenly and to drive straight out at
the ends so as not to leave the least
curve. There was no time to dream
or gaze about to see what some one else
was doing. All the plowman's skill
and ability were taxed to the utmost.

pounds of f1ne-ground bone, together
with 300 to 500 pounds of a high-grade
fertilizer upon each acre. h fert1l-
izer may contain 3 per cent nitrogen,
6 to 8 per cent phosphoric acid, and
about s per cent potash.
After the lawn has been established
and it has gone into winter quarters"
it is we'll to give the young grass a
mulch of well-decomposed table a
ure, which shall not be heavy enough
to disfigure or mar the lawn, but
should be so fine and well decomposed
that it will be carried beneath the
surface of the grass by the rains and
SHOWS of the winter, leaving very lit
tie rough or u~nsightly matter to be
raked off in the spring. If this is not
desirable, after the greensward has
passed through the first winter it
should be treated to a top-dressing OF
foreground bone at the rate OF 1000
pounds to the acre.
The Kind of Grass.
Kentucky blue grass is undoubtedly
the great lawn maker for all that Sec
ton of the Atlantic coast region north
of Washington, D. c., and for the Al
legheny region as far south as north
ern Georgia. Blue grass thrives best
in a comparatively ~retentive, strong
soil where there is an abundance but
not an excessive amount of moisture.
Upon soils of a lighter character in
this region, in localities where preci-
pitation is greater, such grasses as red
top, Rhode Island bent grass, creeping
bent grass, and white clover are more
to be relied upon for lawn making
than blue grass. Redtop, Rhode Is
land bent grass, and creeping bent
grass all have the same ability to
make a compact and deep sward, as
in the case of blue grass. In fact,
under certain conditions redtop and
the bent grasses are able to make a
softer. although not a more permanent.
turf than does the blue grass. Upon
the light soils found in the States
south of the latitude of Washington,
D. c., white clover forms al important
feature in lawn mixtures.
In general, because of the varied
conditions of shade and moisture ex-
listing upon a lawn as the result of
trees, shrubs, and architectural OBJ
jects, mixtures are more desirable
than pure grasses. The different de-
grees of shade and moisture maintain
ed in the soil which result from the
presence of trees, shrubs, and build
ings afford a variety of conditions I'm
der which a single species would not
produce a uniform lawn.

ways, and they. will be better farmers
and better citizens for having entered
the blowing contest.
To many of the onlookers the con.
test was a revelation. Farmers and
farmers sons, who have plowed for
days and months, never before saw
such blowing, and many went home de.
termined to pillow as they saw it done,
1t has been decided to make this a
permanent feature Of the annual field
day.
The greensward Is the canvas upon
which all architectural and landscape
effects are produced. A lawn may
vary in extent from a few square feet
at the side steps leading to the brown
stone front Of the city dwelling to the
broad acres of extensive parks. 1t
matters little whether the extent Of a
lawn be great or small, it's inherent
qualities are the same, and its intrin'
sic worth Is determined by its charac'
ter and the name in which 1t is
kept. Green grass Is not only of great
economic value, but it Is also of great
aesthetic value. The heritage of the
field is the primary dependence of all
animal life, and it Is the green color,
the sweet fragrance, and the soothing

He must set his plow perfectly in the
first place. Next, he must be kind to
and gain the confidence of his team,
for no man can do good blowing with
out the confidence and cooperation of
his team.
A half day was set aside for the
contest, and all three classes. thai is,
the Freshmen, Junior and Senior
classes, competed for the prizes. These
were, a sulky pillow for first prize, a
hand pillow for second prize and ten
dollars in cash for the third prize.
These prizes were furnished by one
of the leading pillow concerns of the
United States gratuitously.
In scoring, expert plowmen who
have been with the University Farm
for years, acted as judges. A standard
of excellence IA established. Twelve
points were given on the dead fur
row." fifteen points on straightness
of burrows; eight points on ms and
outs at ends; fifteen points on depth
and width of burrows; ten points on
evenness of top of land; thirty points
on the covering of weeds, and ten
points on the finish. Time was not
taken into consideration in scoring.
Each contestant was given a strong
farm team and a pillow. He had to adj
just the pillow, clevice and whifle tree
to suit the condition of the land. He
was allowed to mark out his land in
any manner he saw fit. The land"
was to be twenty feet wide and three
hundred feet long.
Henry Johnson, of New Richmond,
Mimi, a member of the Freshman
Glass, took first prize. His score was

After the seed bed has been thor

Since the lawn is a permanent fea-

kept greenswards that make them so
congenial to man. Grass Is natures
balm and healing for all erosive scars.
Nature abhors rough edges and brok-
en- places, and Immediately proceeds to
cover such ugly spots with green
grass. Man likes to get his feet upon
the soil, but better still upon the
soft, yielding greensward. Rich rugs
and carpets do not give the elastic
spring that the well-made and we'll

In general, Mr.. Corbett says, further,
a lawn should be beautiful and It
should be useful. It's beauty depends
upon the contour of the land, the col
or the texture of the grass, and the
uniformity of the turf. The use OF
the lawn is to provide a suitable set
