sERrILIzlNe THE SOIL.
BE Sure You Put In What the Plants
Will Use.

The man that puts into the soil fer
tilizer wants to make sure that 1t is
utilized by the plants for which 1t Is
placed in the ground. 1t is possible
to apply barnyard manure and espe-
cially the chemical fertilizers under
conditions where they will be ineffec-
tive in doing the work they are intend
ed to do. 1t may be taken for granted
that II the fertilizers are placed in dry
soil and the soil remains dry 1t will
do plants no good. More than that,
in the dry soil the destructive chemi-
cal processes will be going on that
will burn up the fertilizers Of an or
ganic nature.
When men SOW such chemical fer
telizers on the surface of the ground
and merely cultivate them In, when
they are cultivating to make a dust
mulch, they are but taking the surest
way to destroy all the fertilizer Of an
organic nature as fast at least as 1t
yields up available plant food. Mois-
ture is needed and a quite constant
supply of 1t In the form. not Of water
such as exists below the water table,
but such as exists in the soil as film
water around the soil particles.
Mr.. Thomas c. Wallace, who has
spent his life studying fertilizers and
soil questions. has now charge Of o
large fertilizer business In California.
He tells the writer that in that state
1t is found exceedingly difficult to fer
tilize the grape vineyards. This is
due to the fact that the vineyards
are on light sandy soil. and the sand
is perfectly dry down sometimes six.
eight and ten inches from the surface.
The moisture and heavier soil is be-
low that. Thousands OF grape growers
have put expensive fertilizers into the
surface soil of their vineyards to have
1t do apparently no good. The reason
is that the moisture is not present
the plants. The rains that come oc-
casionally wash very little Of this
down to the soil below. 1t is evident
that such fertllizing materials as
ground bone will remain for a very
long time in such soil without doing
good. An occasional irrigation also
has little effect In setting loose the
plant food from the stored-up fertihz,
er. II dried blood is put into such
soil 1t is evident that II will soon be
burned up in the dry sand and will
largely disappear in gas produced by
its chemical changes. The vineyards
are not cultivated on account OF the
practice of allowing the vines TO die
on the ground without supports.
The same principle holds good in
any part of the country where dry soil
is the bed In which manure is placed,
says the Farmers Review. There
are many people who have the
idea that manure once put on the
soil will lie there till 1t is utilized II II
takes years. That is costly mis-
take The air receives some OF the
most valuable portions OF all fertiliz
ers so applied. Fertilizers must be
gotten Into the moist soil to become
available.

Of Common Sense Would

"You can fool some Of the people
part Of the time. but you can fool 9TH
ers all the time." seems to be motto
of the get.rich-quick men and gold
brick" operators. Pages OF the daily
and weekly press may be filled with
warnings to readers to be on the look
out for swindlers. yet many who are
credited with intelligence will keep
right on biting at bats thrown out to
them by various concerns who sell
cats In bags"
Psychologists say that every person
has weak spot somewhere In the
brain. II seems that this softness Is
commonly manifested in false reason
ing that frequently one can get some
thing for nothing. Understanding this
desire on part OF the majority. the
fakirs bait their hooks accordingly.
There are large concerns which have
built up great enterprises by repre-.
senting to the people that with each
bill of goods purchased the buyer
gets something for nothing"
Just think Of graft" like this
that will draw 1900 worth Of soap or
ders in n single month from a town
of 10000 people! But this is just
what has been done within the past
few months. Just think Of wives Of
grocers and dry goods merchants in
large cities joining soap clubs" and
paying dollar each month to for
| eign concern Just to secure a pre-
MUM, while their husbands could
supply them at half the cost all the
soap and the premium too! Yet
such is the drawing power Of the
something for nothing" argument. II
the Creator gave these women COM
mon sense. they little know how to
utilize IT,
Some means should be devised to
tax directly or indirectly the con.
Germs In foreign cities that seek to
do business directly with consumers
through the mails. At present they
are protected by the interstate COM
mcrce law. These concerns make
their money by dealing with the peo-
pie OF some community. where they
pay no taxes direct or license fees.
The merchants OF the town arc
taxed upon the business they do. Is
this proposition a fair one? The for.
eign insurance companies doing busi-
ness In state must pay license fee
for so doing, Why not compel the
foreign mercantile concern to do the
same? Our national laws should be
80 constructed ms to provide that
there be a tax on the amount OF busi-
ness transacted In state by any
mercantile concern In another state,
unless the business be transacted by
concerns which pay taxes within the
state for the doing OF such business.

Laurens, Sept. 25.-The case Of
the States vs.. G. Wash Hunter, charg-

land in July, 1906, has been transfer
red to Greenwood county for its next,
trial. Tae change Of venue was grant

The removal Of the case was
brought up by Solicitor R. A. Coop

that in view Of the repeated mistrials,
family cannection, which is large
and prominent, and other complica-

the question in Laurens.
The motion was opposed by Messrs.
