UNION CHURCH.
April 2, 100

April 2, 19Q.
Seems as if almost everybody
was expecting a very warm and
pleasant Easter. But probably
you were all April fooled. Hal!
Who would have thought of see-
ing snow for Easter.
The series of meetings began at
Dunn's Mount Baptist church on
Easter Sunday night.
We understand that all enjoyed
the egg hunt very much. Avery
large crowd was present; both old
and young understood the game.
The Hartman shops opened to-
day and are being managed by
M. J. Poole and Charlie Earnhart,
Tin lieu of J. H. Tippett, } We
wish them much success. They
say they are going ''to do things
for u.s." They will do iron, wood
and all kind of general work to-
gether With repairing guns and
bicycles. All right, boys, when
you want your bicycle tire slrunk
give them a call and they will do
"bis" for you. Of course, 'yours
to serve" will be right to thsspot.
Misses Mary and Ada tesler
were visitors at D. II. Mahaley's
Sunday last.
W. A. Agner and J. II. Tippett
went to the sale yesterday at
James Casper's. Did you buy a
brass monkey?
Several gentlemen, of Tippett
Town, spent yesterday (Easte,
Monday at St. Johns Mill with
the picnicers. Have not heard
the results of the picnic at above
named town.
Gentlemen, why don't you read
the WAToHMAN? Why the North
Pole might get near us and you
would freeze before you could say
"scat." It's more news for less
money and better news for same
money. If you don't believe il
see yours to Serve"

WHEN FERTILIZERS SHOULD BE
APPLIED.

AS a general rule, which has but few
exceptions, the greater part of the fer
tilizer should be applied to the soil be-
fore planting the crop it is intended to
benefit. This rule is not only in accord
with theoretical considerations, but is also
%abundantly sustained in actual practice,
as shown by carefully conducted field 'ex-
periments instituted for the express pur-
r. J. Redding, Director Georgia Expert
ment Station, Department of Agriculture,
in Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer Almanac.
The theory underlying the rule is the
fact that most of the ingredients compos-
ing a commercial fertilizer are not i'm
mediately soluble and availible, but must
undergo certain chemical changes in the
soil before the plant food will be in the
roots of the plants. This is particularly
true in regard to salts of potash, and in
less degree to acid phosphate. 1t is a
fact, also, that some forms of potash,
notably kainit, cause chemical changes
in the condition of the plant food already
present in a soil, whereby the before in
soluble and non-availabla plant food al
ready in the soil, becomes available.
The organic substances which are large
ly used in the make up of commercial
fertilizers for the purpose of supplying
nitrogen to the p~lants-such as cotton
seed meal, dried blood, fish scrap, tank
undergo chemical decomposition and such
change Of form as will enable the roots
to appropriate h nitrogen. Even sui
phate of ammonia, a highly soluble chemi-
cal salt, which sometimes enters into
the composition Of a fertilizer in a very
limited amount, must undergo a complete
chemical decomposition in the soil before
the plants can make any use of the nitro
gen, which it contains in the form Of
ammonia sulphate. This must be con-
verted into nitrate, or nitrate of lime.
Nitrate of soda is the one chemical
fertilizer salt that is Immediately avail
able, producing a very prompt effect when
applied to a growing crop (and it should
be applied to one other).
Acid phosphate and potash may be ap-
to six weeks before planting time. It
is claimed by some experts that potash
salts may be applied with better results
ever several months before planting. A
more practical and convenient rule, how
ever. is to apply a complete fertilizer
from one to three weeks before planting
the crop, when the latter is a corn, cot
ton, tobacco, or other summer-growing
crop, always taking care to mix the fer
tilizer thoroughly with the soil of the
open bedding furrow in which it shall be
applied and then listing" or throwing
two burrows on it.
Experiments on the farm of the Georgia
purpose Of comparing on the one hand
the effectiveness of a complete fertilizer
applied two weeks before planting, and,
on the other hand, the effectiveness Of
The same quantity of the same fertilizer
applied In the burrows with the seed,
prising ~result-viz., the cotton seeds plant
ed on the plats in which the fertilizer
had been applied and bedded on two
weeks before, came up quicker n gave
a more uniform stand of more vigorous
plants than resulted on the plats in which

EVERYBODY Works but the Editor.

Everybody works but the editor,

Looking for those who owe him,
But they never come up to pay.
Everybody eats but the EDITOR;
He don't know how it's done,
The people feed him Oh hot air
And call him a son-of-a-gun.
Everybody plays euchre but the

Year Of Many Boil WeeUIIs.

Baton Rouge, La, March 90
The cotton boil weevil will be un-
usually numerous and destructive
this year according to a report by
DR.. W. D. Hunter, IN charge of
the boil weevil investigation for
the United States Department of
Agriculture. He says:
"The conditions throughout the
past winter have been unusually
favorable for the Information of
the boil weevil. The two critical
conditions for successful hiberna-
ton, temperature and dryness
have been as favorable as they
will probably ever be.
"The mild winter and spring is
having the effect of causing al
unusually early emergence.
"The conditions indicate that
weevils will be unusually abund.
ant in the cotton fields, and great
damage is to be expected. Sc me
conditions, for instance dry
weather during June and July
after the cotton plants are well
started may serve to check the
insect"

companies are organized for no
other purpose than to enable it's
officers to dispose of their per-
sonal holdings. This done, the
company sinks into oblivion, the
conspirators, Phoenix-like, rising
again in new roles and under
new names to repeat the perform

All stock certificates, when is
sued, should be marked "treas-
ury stock" or ''incorporators'
stock" At least, this should be
required until the treasury stock
of the company is entirely dis
posed of. This, in a measure,
would be some protection to the
stock-buying public.
But, the best protection, where
there is no state or federal law,
in effect, is for a mining company
to compel the pooling of it's in
corporators' stock until such time
as the treasury stock is sold, or
until the financial cc.-d ton of
the company is such as to place
it in no danger sho lid incorpo-

ing based on actual value, actual

Most OF our difficulties are neglected
duties.
When ambition weds avarice aspira-

The evil we remember is surpassed
by the good we forget
inclination always furnishes the
most convincing arguments
The church with head for gold usu-
ally has heart Of wood.
The world will never be driven to
God by advertising the devil.
Some men hope that golden crown
will give them golden mind.
Fashion leads many to starve the
inmates in order to paint the house.
No man ever succeeded in walking
one way when he was looking another.
If you sell your soul you will never
be able to make enough to buy it back.
Where the sermon is only a work Of
art the saints are usually artificial.
