farmer, as a rule, would need to buy
will be acid phosphate, and in some
soils potash, for the peas and clover,
for they will do the rest, and you will
get more cotton and at a less cost
than by using complete fertilizer

Do not buy artificial cultures for
incubation, but get soil from an
inoculated field and spread a barrel
per acre. The prepared cultures
give good results when handled ac-
cording to directions, and when con-
ditions are favorable; but ordiarily
the soil incubation is cheaper ard
more certain.-Prof. Massey in Pro-

from town there is another farm that

Few people realize how cheaplys a

dragging, or how cheaply in a clay
section the road may be made good
by shaping it to drain and covering
with sand or gravel. Making good
roads should also be part of the

Notes and Comments ON Recent Is
sues.

SUES.
There is no doubt that in the hu-
mid climate of the Southern coast
section there is often much loss of
fodder that is cut off and shocked,
and 1 often am inclined to hesitate
in advising farmers in that section
to cut and shock their corn. Only
last week I had a letter from very
intelligent farmer in Beaufort Coun-
ty, n. c., saying that he is puzzled,
as he prefers to clear the ground at
once, but that in three seasons out Of
five the corn and fodder have been
damaged in the shocks.
I believe that it is true that the
man who tops and strips his corn at
the usual times loses enough corn to
pay for the labor of saving the fod-
der, but so far as the actual labor is
concerned, there is little to choose
between the two methods. Hence, 7
can not always blame the farmers in
the humid sections for adhering TO
the old practice.-Prof. Massey in

What Will He Do With His Money ?

What VIII He DO With His Money?
We believe it was the late Simon
Newcomb who" said that at the "con-
fiux Of commodities and gold there
avs always prosperity" which is but
another way of describing the work
ing of the law of supply and demand
with the added modern method of
being there with the goods when the
demand shows up. So when the tar
if is out Of the way and every busi-
ness has adjusted itself, as best it
can, to the new schedule, the ques-
tion comes up as to what is the most
encouraging feature to the situation.
That Is easily answered. 1t is the
big and the profit showing crops of
the country.
From now until late in the fall the
farmer will have something to bring
to market, something to turn into
money and make trade for himself
and for others. Among the big crops,
this is wheat's time for the spot
light. A line of reapers is passing
like wave up the country. These
reapers are now upon a line about
parallel with the lower boundary of
the State of Pennsylvania, and they
extend almost across the entire con-
tinent. The farmers of the winter
wheat belt are giving their attention
now to their next big crop, which is
corn; while further to the south,
with the main crop cotton. there is
the best of feeling on account of the
advancing price.
president of one of railroads has
figured that the increased money in
come which the crops of the country.
at the present outlook of prices, are
going to bring to the farming COM
munity. taking the cereals and cotton
and all. will be as much as $4OO, ,OOO,-
600. This is the profit over the mon
ey received for the crops last wear.
FOR the expenses of production have
bcen but little, if any, higher than
last season. With this much to in
vest and spend the farmer will be
the current of gold to which old ST.
mon NewcOmb referred and there is
prosperity for those businesses that
can form the confiux with his needs
and wants
During the panic the farmer was
the one who had the money and he
did not spend because he did not
know what would happen and how
things would turn out; last year he
was conservative" in his expendi-
lures. but why should he wait longer
for what he wants?
er wants is more Of the land that
yielded him the returns; next, the
improvement of what he owns his
buildings and the equipment for his
farm; then he considers his pleasure
and his comfort. To any one of these
lines of investment the lumbermen
will contribute, even in the purchase
of land. Lumber. machinery, vehi-
cles and furniture represent the
branches of trade that will be widely
benefited in whatever increase in in
come the American farmer enioys.
though he stands able to contribute
to the revival of prosperity for all.
Far back in the hills OF Tennessee
today there are farmers with money
who heretofore knew only debt. And
this state is no exception.-Southern

Inoculation, and the Nitrogen Supply

"A correspondent asks If it pays to
buy the artificial cultures for in
oculating soil with bacteria for the
legumes He also adds that in talk
Ing with a gentleman this man told
him that 1t does not pay to fertilize
peas. as they will get less nitrogen
and the following crop will not be as
good as where the peas were not fer
tilted.
1t is always best to be exact about
these matters Peas, clover and other
iegume crops are greatly benefited
by applications of phosphate, and in
many soils by potash. But if we give
them ammonia (the hydride of nj.
trogen) they will use this and will
not get as much nitrogen from the
air. Hence. the crop following will
not be benefited as much because
the peas or clover have taken the
soil nitrogen and have not left an in
crease. 1t Is, therefore, a, waste OF
money to apply ammoniated fertilizer
to peas or clover. And If farmers get
to farming right in a short rotation
with peas and clover frequently on
the land, and aided by phosphate fer.
tilizers. they will find that there is no
need for the purchase of ammonia or
nitrogen in any shape for most
crops.
An English bulletin recently pub
lished says that on grass land dur
ing eleven years the use of phosphate
ic fertilizers increased the nitrogen in
the soil SIS pounds more than in the
soil that has had no fertilizer. The
plots. too. which had had during that
time applications of sulphate of am
monia and nitrate of soda in addi-
ton to the phosphate fertilizers, con-
tanned less nitrogen than those which
had received phosphate only.
This may help to account for the
"N~SS'' va eiiC hdIyidHu wheat grow
ers who use only acid phosphate, or
acid phosphate with 9 per cent. Of
potash. These farmers formerly used
a complete fertilizer on wheat, and
made twelve to fifteen bushels per
acre. while since using only the
phosphate fertilizers, their crops
have gone up to forty or fifty bushels
per acre Of wheat. But they grow
clover, Of course.
Their success corroborates what /
have for many years been insisting
upon, that no farmer needs to buy
nitrogen II ne farms right. This is
especially true of the cotton farmer,
who will farm in rotation with peas
ad crimson clover. and exchange his
cotton seed for meal and hulls, and
feed the meal in judiciOus way with
good roughage.
He will have only to buy acid
phosphate for his cotton crop, or
acid phosphate and potash in most
Of our eastern soils. and he will gain
all the nitrogen needed by the cotton
crop If these are applied to the pea
and crimson clover crops that should
precede the cotton.
Thousands of Southern farmers are
applying four pounds of ammonia
per acre In 200 pounds of the poor
2--S-2 goods, when If they had had
the previous summer a crop Of peas
following small grain for hay and
the peas followed by crimson clover
to turn under for cotton, they would
have had fifty pounds Of nitrogen in
stead of four pounds for the cotton,

central point
Inc matter of the road LW
columbia and Sumter had the spS
cial attention of the committee. SIN
pervisor S. H. Owens was present
the meeting and gave the committed
information relating to the mosty
practicable route by which the
Wateree river and lowlands lying be-
tween the cities could be negotiated.
The Garner's ferry road is a direct
route between the cities, but travel
over it is impracticable because it
stops within a mile of the river ON
this side; on the Sumter side the
swamp is about three miles wide.
The route must either be changed to
find a better crossing, or a great deal
OF work will have to be done to make
the crossing at the ferry practicable
for auto travel
Secretary Moorman was authorized
ana instructed to communicate to the
chamber of commerce at Sumter that
the commercial organization of Co.
lumbia stands ready to cooperate
with the people of Sumter in the
establishment of a road uniting the
cities, with a ferry across the Wa
teree at point yet to be determined
upon.
In conformity with these instruc-
tions Mr.. Norman wrote a letter TO
the secretary of the Sumter cham
ber of commerce advising that BODY
that the Columbia Chamber of Com
merce had appointed a committee to
meet with the Sumter committee in
joint meeting. Mr.. Moorman's letter
states in part:
This chamber Of commerce has
appointed a committee for the
pose OF cooperating with Sumt.

tee from here will come to Sumter
for conference. A plan for further
action can be outlined at that time"
1t has been suggested as a good
idea that the meeting be held at
Sumter, the Columbia committee GO
ing over in automobiles, and that the
committees jointly, with the two su-
perVisors, make an examination of
the points along the river between
the cities probably best adapted for
the crossing.
