He says also that it would remove any
possibility OF war and leave this coun.
try free TO develop commercially as
it chose. All this is quite true. But
tie inopportunity of the talk lies in
the fact that it comes just at the
moment when Secretary Taft and the
japanese higher officials are falling
on each others necks and swearing
eternal friendship and scouting the
possibility of war Quite naturally II
Japan has any lingering notion Of
war, she is not going to publish the
fact in advance, and the way she
struck Russia at the outbreak OF the
Manchurian trouble is an indication
that the Oriental and Occidental
minds work in different channels and
that any nation with the faintest like
lihood of Japanese trouble on its
hands does not want to leave its
gun at home when it goes visiting.

Amerlcus to make a soil survey of the
farm of the Third District Agricultural
College. He will be occupied in this
work about three weeks. When COM
pleted the College officials will know
exactly what the farm is capable of
doing.
Soil surveys are a comparatively
new thing in agriculture, but are be-
coming more popular every year, as
their value and importance are appre-
ciated.
II have been deatailed by the De-
partment to make a soil survey of the
three hundred acres comprising the
farm of this Agricultural college," said
Mr.. Carter to the Times Recorder yes

The store on Forsyth street, near

PRICE HERE is II CENTS
Cotton Is Sold in AmeriCuS Tuesday at Record Price
Season.
Season..

Three hundred and thirty-three bales
of cotton were sold in Americus yes
terday in one lot, and brought the
record price of the entire season-12
cents. For the first time in several
seasons this figure is reached, and
Americas buyers paid the price.
The lot of 333 bales belonged to Mr..
w. P. lowers the cotton king of Web
ster'' and represented two entire crops
made by that successful farmer.
1t is about the first cotton he has
sold in two years, for the good reason
that he can afford to hold it.
The cotton is stored with the John
son & Harold Warehouse, where it
was sold yesterday to Major B. F..
Boone, representing Ford 81 Co. of Ma
con. The cotton was all of fine quail
1ty, and the lot, at II cents, netted
Mr.. lowers the goodly sum of prob

Many Kinds of Soils.

"Would you be apt to find many
kinds of soil on a farm hereabouts?"
was asked Mr.. Carter.
probably. Over at GAINESVILLE 1
found fifteen different kinds of soil on
the college farm, at Statesboro eight.
1t is somewhat surprising to those
who have not studied soils to know
how many different kinds of soil, each
peculiarly adapted to certain plant
growths, may be found on the same
farm.
"Our object in preparing this soil
map of the college farm is to deter
different crops, the fertilizer require
ments, and the best methods of culti-
vatiOn. Specimens of each variety
of soil found there will be sent to
Washington for chemical analysis. [
only doing the field work.
"On the map and report which Will be
and the work at Washington will be
shown the farm in detail, with crop
yields, value of soils, the cultivation
required, and the consideration of any
problems that may present themselves,
such as the increasing of the crop
productiveness of the soil.
''The lowering of crop productive.
ness is the condition that meets one
most frequently in the South. In this
region farmers do not plow deep
enough or turn under enough organic
matter, depending too much on COM
nercial fertilizers, which do not meet
the soil wants.
SIN the South, COW pea vines pro-
vide the best organic matter for the
soil, while in the North clover is the
most suitable and most satisfactory
feeder"
Mr.. Carter will engage a helper in
Americus. His work here will un-
doubtedly attract much attention
among the planters of Sumter and
adjacent counties, all of whom are
keen students of agricultural progress
sive movements, and deeply interested
in everything concerning the district
agricultural college.
