SOIL MAP is ABOUT
IHREE-FOURIHS DONE
Board of Trade Should
Apply for Many.

The work of the county soil sur
vey is now about three-quarters COM
pleted. The two government field
men, Messrs. J. c. Britton and F. S,
Welsh, who have charge of the worJ}
have been indefatigable since theA
arrival in December and have pretty
well covered the entire county in their
operations snce they began. A gem
eral survey has been made and now
they are at work filling in the de-
tails, tedious work requiring. the
closest. application and the. most thor
ough skin.
1t will probably take sixty days
more for them to complete the task
that has been placed in their hanta 81
That will mean that they have been
engaged on it five. months in all. A
~lrge number of sectional maps have
been prepared, and on these the va
rious soils are being worked in. This
is the work that is now being done.
These soil areas will be colored ac-
cording to the nature of the soil, so
THAT a glance at the leted map
VIII tell the story of the goi1 char
acteristics of any piece of land of
any extent. The map when finished
shows the roads, streams, ponds
sWamps, etc, so thatwany one ac-
quainted with the county at all can
tell the exact location of each soil
area designated thereon.
The gathering of the samples of
soil has been left to the last. When
the map is about finished the sam
pies Of the various soils will be gatb-
cred to accompany the map and re-
port to Washington, where the anal
ysis of the soils will be further made.
The report that accompanies the
map gives detailed information as 10
what character of soil is best adapted
for, what fertilizers are most needed
to bring it to a high state of fertility,
etc. After the map and report reaches
Washington it will be some months
before the government issues the pub
licatiOn for which there will be
large demand. 1t might be we'll of
the Americus Board of Trade would
make special request for several
hundred copies of it to be used in
the work of inducing immigration.
Nothing could be more valuable ito send
to a farmer considering removal to
the county than one of these reports.
At the approaching meeting of the
board it might be we'll for it to adopt
resolutions requesting Congressman
Hughes to put in an application for a
large number of copies for this es-
special purpose.

TO De LAID with
MASONIC CfRFM0N,f 5
Program for Laying GOrner
Stone Of High School.

The rainy weather has interfered
to some extent with the work on the
new high school building, but it will
be but temporary stoppage, and
as soon as the sun shines the brick
layers viii be rushing their work as
vigorously as possible. The contrac-
tors are confident that the building
viii be completed some time before
the expiration Of the time limit, and
as they keep persistently behind the
job there is hardly any doubt that
this will be the case.
1t has been decided to make the lay
ing Of the corner stone of the school
building quite an event. Inasmuch
as the high school structure will be
one OF the finest in this section of
the state, a credit to the city, it has
been determined to invest the laying
Of the corner stone with more than or
dlnary pomp and significance. To than
end the grand master of Masons will
be invited to officiate, various grand
lodge officials and lodges will be in
vted, and no effort spared to make
the occasion quite memorable one.
1t is probable that arrangements
viii be made for the corner stone cere-
mony in April, although the date has
not been definitely settled upon. Com
of the local Masonic bodies
will be invited to cooperate with the
school and city authorities in arrang-
ing the program and there is no ques-
Coning that altogether they will pre-
pare program that will draw consid-
cradle attention to the event.

TAYLOR URGED BY FRIENDS

Numerous Are the Requests Thus
Made of Him.

Senator Jeff Taylor" would sound
we'll, and the title thus conferred
would reflect we'll on the Thirteenth
senatorial district, in the opinion Of
a vast number of friends of that gem
ial gentleman. Mr.. Taylor has been
importuned by many friends in Sum-
ter county to offer for the senate, but
he has not yet consented to make the
race. Mr. Taylor is always well in
touch with state politics, and in the

sent the interests of the district and

strong hope that they will permit them
to rally to his support for this dis
tinguished honor.

TRANSPARENT SILK.
A japanese Product Used For Pre-
ssrvin3 Old Manuscripts.

The original manuscripts OF old
books and old records are exceedingly
valuable and are preserved with great
care, for IL destroyed. Of course. they
eanno. be replaced. They can be
guarded from lire and from overmuch
handling. and now an additional safe
guard has been found In Japanese silk.
It's use has removed a fear existing
in the minds Of librarians that there
was no way out OF 1t aud that the rare
old manuscripts would simply have TO
have their day and then dry up aud
return 10 their original elements. Hap
pily the use OF silk Of extreme thin
ness and transparency has settled the
question Of the life OF these manu-
scripts for the next two or three hun
drcd years at least. BY that time some
other method may be discovered. This
silk is thinner than the thinnest tissue
paper. the threads being finer than
spider webs. IL Is pasted over the
manuscript so firmly that II keeps or
all dust and air and yet Is so transpar-
ent that Il does not interfere any more
with the appearance OF the manuscript
than would an ordinary plate OF glass.
II strengthens the manuscript so that
the danger Of haDlling is reduced to
minimum.
The library OF congress Is now eu-
gagged In examining and protecting all
OF its old manuscripts with this silk.
and while II Is an immense task 1t will
probably be completed before long.
This silk Is by no means costly. and
unless person Is somewhat expert In
the matter OF old manus . pts he
would be unable to recognize the fact
that silk had been used.-Ne York
