CHURCH SERVICES.
Laynen's Service - Children S
Day Exercises Meetings of

Days.
A laymen's service was held
at the Methodist church yester-
day morning, the pastor, Rev.
E. M. Hoyle, having gone to
Rockingham to make an effort
to raise money for a new church
at St. Paul. The service was
conducted by Mr.. A. w. Peace,
local leader Of the Laymen's
Movement, and talks were made
on the following subjects:
Church attendance and how it
may be increased, by Mr.. c.. B.
Townsend the Sunday-school
and it's relation to the church,
| by Mr.. w. E. Jackson The
board of stewards and it's re-
sponsibility. by Mr.. A. E. White.
All the talks were interesting
and the service was a profitable
one. On the programme were
printed some interesting Stats
tics showing that the church has
made wonderful strides in every
way within the last few years.
Mr.. G.. M. Whitfield, superin-
tendent of misunderstood, and
Supt. Brietz, of the Dresden
Cotton Mills, also made helpful
talks. Rev. w. A. Jenkins, pas.
tor of the Rcbeson circuit,
preached at this church last
night.
Children's Day exercises which
were enjoyed by a large crowd
were given by the East Lumber
ton Baptist Sunday school, Mr..
; Frank Cough, superintendent,
yesterday morning. A collection
which amounted to $8.15 was
taken for the Thomasville Or.
phanage.

NEW ROOT CROPS FOR SOUTH.

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington is continually discovering
and testing new crops. When these give
promise of becoming valuable additions
to the crop resources of this country,
they are recommended for trial Tk~
department has just issued bulletin
dealing with the "Yantias, taros and
dasheens as promising root crops for
the South" These are tropical plants
which can easily be grown in many parts
of the South. They ought to prove val
liable in many sections because they can
be grown on lands too wet for other
root crops or any cereal crop excepl
rice
These plants comprise salad plants,
tubers which are excellent for table use
and also for stock food, roots which are
valuable sources of starch and from
which alcohol can be made They have
formed the staple food of the native
Hawaiians, and are important food crops
in Japan, China, the Malay Archipelago,
Porto Rico and many other hot coun-
tries.
The work of the department with
these plants has not yet progressed far
enough to permit any distribution of
plants.

GARDEN NOTES.

The wheel hoe will save many back
ache and do the work of three hand hoes.
Plant the rows all one way-north and
soutf-so the sun can strike both sides.
The only really successful garden is
the clean garden.
Do not plant short rows but let them
run the whole length of the garden if
need be-why not?
Wild strawberries have the most de-
licious flavor. They are easily trans
planted to the garden
Making a good garden is mans job.
Do not leave the hard work to the
women folks.
Caulifower can be grown more easily
than cabbage It is always in demand
and at good prices.
A handful of grain dug into an ant
hill will bring the chickens to it, and
then goodbye to the insects.
A plant of Swiss chard sown adjoin-
ing the poultry yard will supply greens
all summer provided the fowls are not
allowed to eat it more than an hour
day.

sugars and the equivalent of ooS per

sugars and the equivalent of o.o8 per
cent of citric acid.
The results of this work as whole
would seem to indicate that liberal
fertilizing within certain limits mater
tally increases the size of the fruit and
also improves the quality to certain
extent. Each grower must learn from
experience what methods Of culture
and kind of fertilizer is best suited to
his local conditions. The use of
fertilizers which have been shown to
be harmful can be avoided, however,
and the formula as woked out by the
station should serve as valuable
guide for the inexperienced grower.
The experiments reported on were
conducted with shed-grown pines,
which, it is generally conceded do not
require so much fertilizer as those
grown in the open; hence, it is sug-
gested that the amount to be used in
the open might be proftab1y increased
beyond the amount specified for sheds.

Fertilizer for Pineapples

&IlSdSeQ III determining what ICIL1l1ZCI
combinations will develop the best
yield, quality, and shipping properties
in pineapp1es. The experiments have
been carried on with pineapples grown
under sheds, which is the usual meth
cd of culture in the older pineapple
sections. The initial work along this
line conducted during the winter Of
1878 was reported by P. H. Rolfe
in 1899, and his results were later en-
bodied in a Farmers Bulletin of the
United States Agricultural Depart
ment. A more extended series of ex-
periments was started in 1901, in
which some ninety-six variations and
combinations of the fertilizers COM
monty used for pineapples were tested,
the quantity applied per acre ranging
from $3.50 pounds to 1900 pounds.
H. K. Miller and A. w. Blair, re-
porting on the effects Of these differ
ent fertilizers for the first three sea-
sons, found that acid phosphate had
an injurious effect upon pineapples,
which could be corrected by the use
of lime. They attributed the injury
to the sulphate Of iron and aluminium
which the acid phosphate contained,
since phosphoric acid derived from
boneb1ack did not have an injurious
effect on the plants. Growers were
recommended as a general rule to
rely on bone meal or Stag as sources
of phosphoric acid
If acid phosphate is used, lime
should be added every year or two,
at the rate Of about IS pounds to
the acre.
AS sources Of nitrogen, dried blood,
Cotton-seed meal, and castor pomace
may be used. Nitrate of soda may be
used for the first six months and pos
sibly, to limited extent, for the first
year, hut after the first year it will
probably be safer to eliminate it en-
tirely Considerable caution is re-
quired in its use, for nitrate Of soda
when used in sufficient quantity to
furnish all the nitrogen proves inju-
rious both to the plants and to the
shipping qualities Of the fruit.
Of the potash salts used, high and
low grade sulphate have given the
best results, the latter seemingly
slightly the better. Muriate has given
fair results, though the sulphate I'm
doubtedly gives better results. Kainit
should not be used. High grade to-
bacco stems, though not used in this
experiment, have been used by a mum
Der Of growers with good results.
On the whole the best results were
obtained by the use of about $3.50
pounds per acre of fertilizer, analyz-
ing 4 per cent available phosphoric
acid, S per cent nitrogen, and 10 per
cent potash. By increasing the fertil-
izer from a little more than ton to
nearly two tons per acre, the number
of larger sizes Of pineapp1es was in
creased to very profitable extent.
There appeared to be no advantage in
using more than two tons per acre.
The bulk Of Florida pines are grown
along the east cost. Relative to the
use of fertilizers in this section the
above writer's say:
"For most of the east coast soils
I'VE would recommend $500 to 1900
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-05-01

,
trogen, and 10 per cent potash, to be
applied at the rate Of four applica-
tions a year for the first eighteen
months, and after this two applica-
tions a year-One in February or
March, as the conditions may require,
and one soon after the removal of the
summer crop. However some sue
CesSful growers recommend three ap-
plications a year, as follows: About
I,4Oo pounds of standard fertilizer in
February and again after the removal
Of the summer crop, and 1000 to 1900
pounds of highgrade tobacco stems
in the fall or early winter. A regular
application Of growing fertilizer at
the beginning of the winter has been
found Objectionable, in that plants. if
started to growing rapidly, are much
more susceptible to injury by the cold
weather which may come in January
Or February. This was clearly dem
onstrated by the freeze in 1905. Those
who fertilized heavily in the late fall
suffered more than those who did not
fert1lize at this time or who used only
ground tobacco stems. The tobacco
does not cause much growth, but
makes the plants hardy, and thus
better able to stand the cold.
"Within three weeks, or as soon as
possible after setting out, the plants
should have a light application Of
cotton-seed meal III the bud, about
tablespoonful to the plant The first
regular application should be put on
broadcast about six weeks later, and
be thoroughly worked in with the
scuffle hoe For this application
some growers have used castor pom
ace or cOtton-seed meal, and high
grade tobacco stems, with good re-
suits"
The Florida experiments were con-
tinued for the purpose of finding out
whether the quality Of pineapples is
effected by the kind or quality of
the fertilizer used, chemical analysis
being made of fruits from the various
plants during the four seasons.
This work as reported by A. w.
Blair and R. N Wilson in a bulletin
of the Florida Station shows that the
eating quality Of the fruit when gaug-
ed by the sugar and acid content Of
the juice does not appear to be in
fuenced by the kind Of fertilizer used.
Increasing the amount of fertilizer
per acre slightly increased the sugar
content and very slightly decreased
the acid in the fruit. The work did
not show, however, to which par
ticular constituent these changes are
due.
Although the average weight of the
fruit varies from season to season the
large fruits appear to contain a great
er percentage of sugar and a slightly
smaller percentage Of acid than the
small ones.
The nitrogen content of the fruit
does not appear to increase with an
increase of fertilizer.
Averages based upon the analyses
reported in the bulletin show the ed
ible portion to be 81 per cent Of the
whole fruit and the available juice to
be o2.84 per cent of the edible portion.
The juice contains 1907 per cent total
