The Partisan manicures do not

bands. As for the Londoners, they
retire on an income. There never
was an Englishwoman in any busi-
ness, however ancient, who was in
it for mere spiritual or intellectual
improvement or well being. What
the West End manicure wants to see
is the five shillings, and just as soon
as she has seen them she wants to

plants. These knots are the homes
of germs, and these germs seize upon
the nitrogen of the air and turn if
over to the plants. You plow these
crops under and they add humus to
the soil, as well as the nitrogen
which they have gathered from the
air. A crop of cowpeas that will pro-
duce a ton of hay will add from
70 to 100 pounds of nitrogen to the
acre. The commercial value of this
nitrogen will be from $13.4O to SIT
per acre. When you fail to plant a
legume of some kind you lose all of
this nitrogen, and the crop that
grows on the land takes it from the
soil and gives nothing back to it..
Every farmer should plant all the
peas he possibly can, if they never
make pod.
We have an abundance of nitrogen
IN the soil, but it is in an unavailable
FORM. This is evidenced by the fact
that the first twelve inches of our
soil contains $500 pounds of nitro
gen. If this was available as plant
1000 1t would take, growing one bale
OF cotton per acre, 1926 years to OK
haust the supply. But very little of
this is available at the time. The
FARMER can make this nitrogen avail
able by crop rotation, blowing under
vegetable matter that makes humus
-that lte-g1ving element to the soil.
Next is, what use is nitrogen to
the plant? This the farmer should
be very much interested in, so he
may know whether he needs this
plant food in large or small uuanti-
ties. Nitrogen goes to the making
of stalk, the foliage and flowers of
plants. A farmer can determine
ABOUT the amount of nitrogen his
soil contains from the crop that
grows on it. If your land grows an
excess of weed and foliage and very
little fruit you may know that the
plant food you need mostly is phos-
phoric acid and potash. AS a rule
the most of our dark, sandy loans
contain a high per cent. of nitrogen
and but little phosphoric acid and
potash. All fresh lands and lands
that have had a lot of vegetable
matter turned under for several
years need but little nitrogen. and
the same as to land that a large pea
crop was grown on the year before
and has been we'll turned and har-
rowed. Therefore the farmer can
determine whether his crop needs
this element of plant food and in
about what quantities. In my letter
next week l will take up phosphoric
acid and potash.

SOILS AND FERTILIZERS.
(CONTINUED.)

We want to learn how to get this
humus in the soil. The way this can
be most properly done is by turning
under green manure crops and all
forms of vegetable matter that grow
on your land. The farmer should
use all the barnyard manure he can
raise. Every farmer should strive
to raise more of this manure than he
does 1t adds a great deal of humus
to the soil, to say nothing of the
plant foods it contains.
Barnyard manure causes a fermen-
tation in the soil, which aids in MAX
ing the locked up stores of plant food
in the soil available 1t also makes
the soil loose and aids in capillary
attraction; it serves in the soil as
the yeast serves in the bread. Barn
yard manure, if used heavily, should
be put on broadcast and very early
in the Spring, so that it will become
we'll rOtted.
Now, If your soil has a supply of
humus and vegetable matter in it
you can safely use large amounts of
commercial fertilizer, but if your
soil is clean of vegetable matter and
has but very little humus in it l
would advise you to never use heavy
applications of fertilizer; you will
never get paying results from it.
The reason why it does not pay to
use heavy applications of fertilizer
on land without vegetable matter
turned under is because there is
nothing to absorb the water and hold
1t. Therefore, the ground soon dries
and there is nothing to make the fer
tlllzer soluble for the plant to take
as food.
Next, and a very important thing.
every farmer should study in pur-
chasing fertilizer and in fertilizing
his crops-the amounts the soil con-
tains and the use of each. First
we will take nitrogen, because this
is one of the most essential of all
plant foods; it costs the farmer more
than either of the other two ele-
ments. | will show you how this
plant food may be gathered from the
air with but very little cost to the
farmer. The air that we breathe is
four-fifths nitrogen. This nitrogen
has to be gotten in a form that
plants can take it up, and this can
be done by planting leguminous
crops. There are knots or nodules
that grow on the roots of these

HITS COTTON EXCHANGE.
JEFF Davis Wants to Stop All Specu-
IatiOn in Futures.

United States Senator Jeff Davis
of Arkansas has made a speech on
his bill to prohibit the transmission
of cotton futures by mail, telephone
or telegraph.
The bill provides, among other
things, that any person, other than
postal officials, who shall violate the
act may be sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for not less than five nor more
than fifteen years. Any corporation
convicted of violation of the act may
be fined not less than $4,000 or
more than 100000, one-half of the
fine to go to the informant
Every sale of cotton made by the
New York cotton exchange is a gamb-
ling transaction said Senator Davis.

ture of my state for the passage of
the Arkansas statute against this
evil / personally cross-examined, I'M
der oath, one of the brightest mem
bers of that exchange. He admitted
that 80 per cent. of their dealings
were purely speculative, and that to
rob the New York Cotton Exchange
of its speculative feature would be to
destroy the business itself.
This bill is not directed against
legitimate transactions, where the
delivery is made, or can be made, but
it is only directed against that char
acter of transaction where no deliv-
cry is ever contemplated, either by
the buyer or seller"

JEWISH FARMERS TO MEET
NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE KNOW
THERE ARE 5000 OF THEM
IN THE UNITED STATES.

NEW YORK.-Five thousand Jew
ish farmers in one assemblage-
though not very many persons know
there are that many Jewish farmers
in the world-will be a unique spec
tacle for New York to witness next
week.
They are coming, veritable whis-
kered, hayseeded farmers, from all
over the east, to attend their first
annual convention, which will be
held at the Educational Alliance,
East Broadway and Jefferson street.
They are such real farmers that
the Alliance, in sending them it's
prospectus of the convention, warns
them to be ware of swindlers, and
gravely explains the gold brick game,
the green-goods swindle, the bogus
mining stock delusiOn, the wireless
overlapping scheme and other get
the-mOney processes.
Make no friends among smooth
talking, too cordial strangers who
will accost you" the Alliance tells
its rural constituents. also keep
your money and jour jewelry secure
ly hidden in your pockets"
The underworld of the East Side
got very busy laying it's plans, it
is said, when the advent of the
five thousand agriculturists became
known, and a great harvest was eX-
pected. Hence the warnings.
The convention will last for three
days, and will include a trip around
New York so that these particular
soil tillers can go back home with
memories of the Singer building, the
Subway, and the other great institu-
lions of the town. Joseph Pincus
editor of the Jewish Agricultural
Magazine, will preside over the con
vention.

Some Examples of Georgia Farming.
Houston County Farmer Gets $677
From 13 Acres of Land at a
Total Cost of $50.


While in Perry last Monday Mr..
4. T. Aultman told the editor of
the Home Journal that last year he
sold the products of 10 acres of land
for $677, and that the entire cost
was exactly $50.
From three acres he gathered 100
bushels of corn.
From a 10-acre orchard he sold
1898 worth of peaches for cash, haul
ing them to Macon himself.
During the year he also sold from
his garden cabbage, beans and peas
to the amount of $685. from his yard
and barnyard he also sold in Macon
$l2O worth of pork and $65 worth
of chickens and eggs.
Suppose we compare this with a
cotton crop:
The net product of his labors ag-
gregated $627.
Thirteen acres would have pro-
duced about seven bales of cotton.
We will be liberal and count that
cotton at $50 a bale, making a total
of $3.50. The expenses of fertilizing.
cultivating and picking that cotton
would have been at least $40 per
bale, or $40. So we have a net
profit of $21O for the cotton; 1927
for Aultman's fruit, vegetables, pork
and poultry.
OF course exceedingly few farmers
could emulate Mr.. Aultman's exam
pie exactly, but a very great many
could pursue the same general plan
TO great advantage over the plan OF
depending entirely upon cotton for
money.
