THE BASIS OF OUR WEALTH

More and more it IS becoming
recognized that the wealth of the
nations is largely in the farms.

of the United States too much, !"
says the Outlook, "by its1ich banks,
its enormous factories, its splendid
hospitals, Its brilliant theatres, its
powerful newspapers, its learned
universities. Who has built all
these and W h maintains them?
The farmer. When do railways
pass their dividends, when do news
papers lose their subscribers, when
do actors play to empty benches,
when do doctors fail to collect their
bills, when do the universities suffer
for funds? When the crops fail.
How impo rtant it is, then, that we
develop the farming interests. To
make these factories In the south
prosperous, the farmers must be
prosperous, and to become prosper
Gus, the farmers must farm well and
quit making others rich with their

nection are taken from an article

shade allows the slow action of
capillary water to restore this clus-
ter condition. Working when the
land is in the proper condition will
also tend to improve the soil.
A controlling factor in soils, so
far as moisture is concerned, is
humus. Humus is partially decayed
leaves, grass roots, of other organic
matter in soils, which on account of
the great number of cells, has high
waterh holding capacity. The pres
ence of humus makes the soil dark
or black in color, so that in most
countries dark soil is regarded as
rich soil, but such is not always
the case.
The presence of humus not only
adds fertility to the soil, but makes
it more porous and open, thus in
creasing the water holding capacity,
which is an important factor during
the dry season.
The character of the subsoil has
considerable influence on the amount
of moisture that will be available
for the use of plants. AS mentioned
above, the supply of capillary
moisture IS the governing factor in
plant growth. Also only limited
amount of moisture is held in the
soil, hence the storehouse below the
surface must be large, so that the
capillary water may be drawn up
from six to eight feet below the sur
face. A thin layer of soil underlaid
with gravel will suffer much from
drouth, while, on the other hand,
a deep layer of clay insures good
supply of moisture during the dry
season, but provides poor drainage
in the rainy season, when good
drainage is essential except for rice
and few grass crops. -Campbel's

Agricultural Review for June last:

agricultural NcVleW Tor June last:
The water that plants use is that
which remains in the soil after
drainage, and is held in the form of
a film of moisture around each par
ticle of earth.
Good agricultural soils hold ca
pillary water equal to about 80 per
cent of their weight. Plants are not
able to use this water after it has dried
out to about twelve per cent, so that
when the soil is in the best condition
for plant growth, only about 60 per
cent of the total moisture is available
to the plant. During the dry season
loss of water takes place by evapor
alton at the surface of the ground as
well as through the leaves of the
plant. Fortunately for the roots of
the plant, this water tends to main
tain an even balance; that is to say,
when a portion of the soil dries out,
this water move towards the dry
place from the point of greatest
moisture. An example of this is
when the surface dries, and water
from below comes up to take the
place of that lost by evaporation.
When water has been taken out of
the soil by the roots of the plants,
other water moves towards this spot,
and, of course, carries with 1t a
soluble plant food provided there is
any in the soil.
The rapidity of movement of ca
pillary water depends upon the size
of the soil particles and the proper
ton of fine coarse particles. Water
will move more rapidly through
coarse sand than through clay, but
as the water is held in the soil in the
form of thin film around the soil
grsins-and there being more sur
face of the soil grains in a cubic
foot of fine clay than in the same
quantity of sand-there will be more
water moved in the clay soil in a
given time than in the sand, al
thong the water moves more slowly
in the clay than in the sand. Hence
clay soils do not suffer from drouth
as much as sandy soils.
Most agricultural soils, when COM
posed of the proper mixture of sand
and clay, have a tendency, under
normal conditions, to form small
clusters of soil particles, just as
small particles of sand tend to cling
to larger ones, thus bringing about
the best mechanical condition This
mechanical condition is destroyed
when the soil is stirred while wet.
This is called ''puddling-" Soil SO
handled, when exposed to the rays
of the sun. becomes hard. This
condition is known as "baRing. %
and simply means that the granular
structure has been destroyed, and
the soil particles cemented together
by drying. Soils allowed to bake
in this manner are very difficult to
put in good condition again. The
mechanical condition may be i'm.
proved by the use of the shade crops,
such as velvet beans, ETC. The

THE CAMPBELL SYSTEM

If you have carefully followed the
admonitlons previously given you
have in mind piece OF land p1owed
and packed with the the surface two
inches. or more loose or lumpy and
the portion just below firm and
moist. Such field, with the warm
air penetrating from above and
chemically combining with the
moisture from below, is in excellent
condition for the generation of the
most vital requirements, bacteria
and nitrates,- plant life. The til
lage you have given your land is
now acting as fertilizer; for it
should be remembered that fertility
is available plant energy; made
available through the mechanical
and chemical condition of the soil.
Any field in the condition de-
scribed above will persistently resist
the effects of drouth and hot wind
without any material changes or
noticeable losses of moisture. pro
vided however that you exercise
great care never to allow a crust to
form just beneath the mulch. If
upon brushing back the mulch you
find the ground just beneath it moist
and soft all is we'll, but if it appears
to be somewhat dry it is time to cul-
tivate again. Such is the care to
be given during dry periods.
We will now give, in Mr.. Camp
bells words the methods to be
used after rains: 'sIn June and July
weeds are quite persistent and great
care should be taken not to let
them get start. In fact there is
but little danger of weeds if you take
care to loose no water by evapora
ton. All weeds are easily killed
when small, but after the top root has
gone down and become firmly i'm
bedded, it is not so easy to destroy
them. Watch the condition of your
field, going over it as soon after
heavy rain as the soil will permit,
using the tool you use to keep your
mulch open and loose; care should
be taken to keep the mulch from two
and a half to three inches deep.
Remember it is not desirable to
have this mulch too fine and never
dust blanket. 1t will be found very
much easier to secure a mulch of de-
sirable coarseness if the cultivating
is done after rains when the surface
soil has reached the moist condition,
not wet, and yet before it gets dry.
Continue this persistent care through
the season. In case of extreme heat
more frequent cultivation is neces-
sary. Our rule is to watch care
fully the firm soil just beneath the
mulch and gauge our time of cult
walton during continued dry periods
by the quantity of apparent moisture,
observed at the top of the soil just
beneath the mulch, or if we move
the loose soil away and find there
is ample moisture, the protection is
all right. If the top is beginning to
show dry then it is time to cultivate
again"
In our next we shall speak of
seeding.

opening address to the students
this year, placed the greatest
emphasis on the need of simple
ity of life. "The money which
your parents have earned by
hard work to send you here, you
should spend grudging, he said.
"Stand true to the folks at home
and to the good old home beliefs
and customs. We want only
students whose lives are clean,
and who will show their loyalty
to the University by so living as
always to reflect credit on this

TWO BOYS KILLED AND SIX IN
JURED IN CRASH.
Gable Broke on Steep Grade-Passen-
gers Returning From Night Work
In Glass Factory.

PTTTSBURG, April 6.-Two boys were
killed and six others injured. several seri-
ously, early today when a car on the St.
Clair incline. running from Josephine
street, Southside, to Mount Oliver, broke
away about the center of the incline and
plunged to the bottom.
The dead are:
Arthur Miller. sixteen years old glass
worker: head crushed. internally injured.
Albert Klenberger. fifteen years old,
glassworker: head crushed.
The six injured were all young glass
workers employed at the D. o. Cunning
ham Glass Company. Southside.
Griffin Davis sustained crushed arm.
Amputation was necessary. The others
were cut and bruised.
The eight young men, employed at
night, had finished their duties and were
going to their homes In Mount Oliver.
The incline car was boarded and appar-
entity there was nothing wrong until the
car reached the center of the steep hill.
Without a moments warning the cable
broke. With fearful ra,pidity the car
plunged backward. There was no oppor-
tunity to escape.
Before one could realize what had hap
pened the car struck the ''bumpers' in
the little frame station at the bottom.
impact caused the station to collapse and
fall upon the splintered car and dead and
injured passengers.
Heavy timbers fell upon the heads of
Miller and K1enberger. the two dead.
badly mutilating them. It was some
time before the injured could be extri-
Gated from the wreckage.
Excepting that the cable broke, no
other explanation for the accident is giv-
en-. An Investigation is being made.

BOY DIES FROM BURNS.
Succumbs to Flames That Killed
Mother and Sister.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 6.-John Pettinato
an Italian boy, seven years old. who tried
to rescue his mother and sister from be-
ing burned to death last night. received
injuries from which he died early this
morning at the Harlem Hospital
About 6 o'clock last night Mrs. Petit
nato was getting supper ready, but the
fire didn't burn well. Accordingly she
poured kerosene into the stove. The ex-
plosion which followed Immediately show
cred her with blazing OIL The sound of
the explosion was heard by many Of the
neighbors. Sulphurous smoke and the
light of flames dancing in the kitchen
were seen through the window. The
woman tenants were thrown into a state
of wild excitement by the explosion. They
could hear the cries OF the Pettinatos in
their burning kitchen. Some one had the
presence Of mind to break in the locked
door Of the fiat, and some one else ran
to turn in an alarm.
Mrs. Pettinato was found nearly dead
on the floor. She was carried out and
died a minute or two later. just when the
fireman arrived. The two children, John
and his sister Rea, did their best to save
their mother They were too little to
reach up to the sink to get water. so they
tried to put out the flames by throwing
meal on her dress. Their own clothes
died shortly after at the Harlem Hos
pital, but it was hoped for several hours
that the little fellow might survive, but
he died this morning.

not to St Georges Episcopal Church.
where the Rev. Joseph 6heeran admins

the other side, cannot see the faces.
That in itself is a misfortune, but 1t is
nothing to the discontinue that results
when the rector has to offer the chalice
to a pair of dainty lips he cannot see.
AS he explained to his parishioners, he

DEADLY TORNADO IN ILLINOIS
TWO KILLED, MANY HURT AND
BIG PROPERTY LOSS.
Fatalities in Demolished Homes a
Pittsburg, Where Church Is
Blown Down.

MARION. Ill. April 6.-Two persons
were killed many others hurt and con-
siderable property damaged by a tor
nado which struck this city and vicinity
today.
The deaths occurred in Pittsburg, a
village six miles northeast Of here. The
victims were crushed in the collapse Of
their homes. So far as can be learned
these we're the only fatalities. The
Methodist Church there also was blown
down.
The storm came from the southwest
and was preceded and followed by heavy
rains. In the business section Of Marion
several store buildings were partly de-
molished. In the residence section many
small homes occupied by miners families
were unroofed.
The monetary loss is $150,000.
The Marion State and Trust Bank and
a number Of offices were partly blown
down The African Methodist Church
was also wrecked.
