BARNES SAYS CHILDREN
ARE NATURAL LIARS

AMHERST, Mass, April 17.-Professor
Earl Barnes, of Philadelphia, said in an
address at a high school teachers in
stitute and educational conference at the
Massachusetts Agricultural college yes
terday that children under the age of Il
years are liars and naturally revengeful,
as a class.
Prof Barnes topic was Moral Educa-
ton in the Public Schools" He traced
the moral evolution of the race and de-
clared that the life of the child reflect
ed in a way some stages of this evolu-
ton. Statistics gathered in England and
in this country among school children
showed, he said, that 20 per cent. of
those under IL years of age, of whom
opinions were asked regarding a story
which was related to them, gave replies
showing that they considered lying and
vengence justifiable in the case cited

QUERIES ANSWERED
Best Type of Farming for Sandy Land

Best Type of Farming for Sandy Land
L. c. N, Macon, Ga, writes: We have
about forty acres OF sandy land which
Is slightly billy. Which type OF farming
would you suggest to make a living
off this land and at the same time keep
improving the soil?
Sandy land will need heavy fertilization.
II will be advisable to use a complete
fertilizer for corn and cotton on such
soil, at the rate of 800 to 500 pounds per
acre. The larger amount is preferable.
provided you prepare the land thorough
ly by deep and careful cultivation. Use
good seed and cultivate we'll afterp LIANT
Ing. We would suggest a rotation Of
crops on this soil as follows: Divide the
land into three parts, one-third for corn,
one-third for cotton and one-third for COW
peas. After the cowpeas are made into
hay. seed the ground to oats. Sow rye
on the corn and cotton land for winter
grazing and to turn under in the spring
for the enrichment OF the soil. Put corn
after the oats and cotton where the corn
was the year before. We would think
Il better for one situated near Macon and
on a small farm, such as you describe,
TO engage in trucking. There is a good
demand for truck crops at remunera-
tive prices, and this is one OF the most
attractive types OF agriculture in which
one could engage.

Grazing Hogs On Rye

]. f. L.. Birmingham. Ga, writes: I
have fifty head Of hogs that 1 am graz
ing. Have several acres sowed in rye
that / want to put them on in a few
DAYS, but some of my neighbors say that
rye will kill hogs. / would like to have
your opinion in regard to this matter.
We have grazed hogs off and on on rye
all winter, as we'll as in previous years,
and have not had any deaths occur
which we could trace to the animals
grazing on this particular crop. 1t might
be possible If the hogs were very hungry
and turned on green rye that they might
injure themselves, but why this crop
should cause death any more than other
green crops which we have used very
freely in the making of pork for num-
Der of years past, we are at a loss to
understand There might possibly be
some objection to the boards of rye If
the crop were allowed to mature before
the hogs were turned on, but having
grazed down bearded wheat with hogs
with no i'll effects, we question whether
there would be any injurious results fol-
low from grazing rye in any stage of its
growth. Certainly the animals we had
running on rye all winter kept in good
health and excellent condition, and we
are inclined to think that a pasture of
rye and vetch is a most useful thing on
any farm in the south. not only because
Of the large amount OF grazing it will
AFFORD hogs, but also cattle. We have q
field OF rye and vetch now in ideal con-
dition for grazing both classes of stock,
and 1t has furnished a surprisingly large
amount of food ever since last November.
In fact, we have quite a large number
of yearling cattle that are in excellent
condition that never received any grain
at all during the winter; besides the land
has been effectually prevented from
washing and leaching-two very import
ant considerations.

Nine hundred pounds OF cotton seed
meal are equivalent in fertilizing value
to one ton OF cotton seed. This conclu-
sion has been reached as a result of a
large number of experiments made to de-
termine the relative fertilizing value Of
these two materials. You will thus see
that whenever seed commands a good
price, say from $500 TO, 5000 a ton. 1t is
advisable to sell it or exchange it for
meal to be used for fertilizing purposes.
II you decide to use seed we would apply
them at once at the rate of twenty
bushels per acre. They should be covered
with wet soil and given time to decay
before the crop is planted so that the
food they contain will be in an available
form when the plants need it. In addition
to this we would use 400 to 500 pounds Of
s. acid under the drill row. You could
hardly make a ton of fertilizer rich
enough to meet your needs by mixing
together crushed cotton seed. Sd acid and
kainit, and we think the method of pro-
cedure suggested would be more salts

Fertilizer Mixtures

]. T. s., Swainsbro, Ga, writes | want
some advise about mixing fertilizers.
Some advise me to use LOCO pounds of 1e
per cent acid, 800 pounds of cotton seed
meal, 100 pounds of muriate of potash and
300 pounds of kainit What would such a
mixture analyze? My own idea is to mix
together 1900 pounds of acid phosphate,
600 pounds OF cotton seed meal, 100
pounds OF muriate of potash and 100
pounds of kainit. What would that ana
lyze? Would 800 pounds per acre be about
the right amount to use?
BY mixing together 1000 pounds of acid
phosphate, 500 pounds of cotton seed meal,
100 pounds of muriate and 300 pounds of
kainit where only high grade goods are
used, you would secure a mixture which
will contain approximately 81 per cent nj
trogen, 81 per cent phosphoric acid. and
a. per cent of potash. BY mixing together
1900 pounds of a hpdcspoOO6. ietah etaoioi
200 pounds of acid phosphate. 800 pounds
of cotton seed meal and 100 pounds each
of muriate and kainit you would have a
mixture which would contain approx
mately 1913 per cent phosphoric acid, 81
per cent nitrogen, and 3.5 per cent potash.
This fertilizer is probably low in potash,
and you can increase the amount of this
element by cutting out the kainit and add
ing 30 pounds OF muriate of potash, and
an addition of 80 pounds of cotton seed
meal This will tend to balance your fer
tilizer up better and in our judgment the
second combination is the one best suited
TO your needs. Five hundreds pounds of
this mixture will certainly not be too
much to use on land that has been well
prepared, and is we'll tended after plant
