Humus and How to Get 1t.

We had a letter the other day
from a reader who wished 10 tell
other readers how to raise corn.
His prescription was short and
simple: Put corn stalks or green
pine boughs in furrow, bed on
this furrow and plant the corn.
Now, this man had really found
out one important fact-that his
soil sadly needs humus; but he had
not found out how to get that hu-
mus. Imagine man putting pine
boughs or corn stalks along all the
rows in a twenty acre field, and
thinking that he was doing profit
able work! 1t is just such waste
full and laborious ''iddling" about
and making believe" at farming
that ails the South to-day. What
that man wants to do is to SOW his
corn land in cow peas or soy beans,
or peanuts or even sweet potatoes
on it, SOW it in crimson clover, pillow
the clover under and thereby add
more humus and more nitrogen to
his soil in two years than he would
get in life time of monkeying
with corn stalks and pine boughs.
Those corn stalks have con-
siderable feeding value if properly
handled, and the manure they
would make would be worth more
than the stalks bedded in the rows
as he describes. Yet he evidently
thought his plan good for the soil.
We must count the cost of our
labor in counting the cost of a
crop.
We have been doing SO much
Improbable labor which we might
have avoided that it is hard for us
to get out of the habit. We must
get out, however, and get down to
genuine farming.
Ifsyour soil needs hnmus--as
most Southern soils do--get it by
growing of legarinous crops and
the feeding of live stock; don't go
to playing ,about, filing burrows
with corn stalks and making beds
over them, doing lot of needless
work and merely returning to the
soil small part of what has been
taken from it. The hope of the
farmer lies not in few quacA
methods and spectacular discover
les, but in the old fundamentals Of
genuine, all-round good farming

Standard Oil Company Dissolved.

The Standard Oil Company dis
solved, with its billions of dollars,
its thousands of miles of railroads,
its acres of refneries, Its army of
employees, its seventy corporate
branches, its subsidized newspa-
pers, politicians, clergymen, law
yers, and press agents-this seems
incredible in these days when
more than half the people of the
land believe that money is all
powerful.
Yet this is what the United
States Circuit Court orders in
decree entered at st. Louis on Sat
urday.
An appeal will Immediately be
taken to the Supreme Court of the
United States. and the tremendous
power of the gigantic corporation
broken or sustained.
The decision is perhaps the
most momentous In the history of
industrial development in the
United States. The case grew out
of a federal injunation filed against
John d. Rockefeller, FL. w. Rog-
ers, H. M. Flagler, John d. Arch
bold, and others, the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, and
and about seventy other corpora
tions controlled by it to check this
tremendous combination in its re-
straint of trade, the throttling of
competitors, and the control OF
prices.
So vast has this corporation be-
come that it now controls 70 per
cent of the purchasing, refining,
selling and transportation of Pc
troleum and its products in the
United States. Its branches reach
out over the whole world, slowly
killing its competitors and fasten-
ing its hold upon the fuel supply
of the people.
The Standard Oil Company has
become the popular symbol of mo-
nopoly, the gigantic octopus with
its searching tentacles in every
mans pocket. 1t has been more
cursed and hated than amy grea
corporation. To many it has seem
ed more powerful than the govern
ment itself.
| This decision is victory for th'
common people and for the people
government. 1t proves that th'
federal courts have vitality ant
that our antitrust law still has
few teeth left. For the first tim
the vitals of the protean monste
are exposed, though the final wor'
yet remains to be pronounced b.
