citizens. No two men are held IN higher
esteem by the best people OF their ac-
quaintance.
No, Mr.. Stevens, could have been
asking embarrassing questions before
now. and wouldn't do so now but for
your giving me the dare. So tell Us WHY
it was that you discharged Hope Irwin.

that you have IL Jet.

You know, Uncle ODE" the more we
think of the fact that the only thing
your friends can think Of. worth saving
about you, is, as they claim. you are .

about your record as commissioner OF
agriculture and railroad commissioner
You have been there long enough to
have made one. and maybe you have.
AS to your friendly feeling toward

Editor Journal:
notice in your issue OF the 9Th an
effort at a denial on the part of o. B.
Stevens OF the truth of an afidavit by
me that during the year 1902 a guano
company for which was at work sent
$500 into this state to be used as =
part of a campaign fund for Mr.. Ste
vens during said year. while he was
Commissioner OF Agriculture. You will
notice that Mr.. Stevens only says that
no such fund or any other amount was
ever contributed by any company for a
campaign fund for himself He does
not deny that money was given him by
a guano company. 1 didn't swear, nor
do 1 say now, that he used the money
for campaign purposes, but that it was
sent for this purpose, and repeat now
that a check was sent into this state
for 500 for such purpose. OF course,
he could have used the money for other
purposes.
The Hon. M ]. Yeomans, son-in-law
of Mr.. Stevens, spent the day here last
Thursday seeking certain information
concerning my affidavit. ] told him
then to go back to Atlanta and tell
Mr.. Stevens to deny the truth OF my
afidavit and would then give 1t. But
you see Mr.. Stevens doesn't do this
in full; and ask you now, Mr.. Ste
vens, did you receive certain sums OF
money from guano companies in 1902,
and especially the $500, regardless OF
whether you used 1t for campaign pur-
poses or not? That there was such a
sum sent for your use there is no ques-
ton, SO what did you do with It?

Mr.. Stevens son-in-law, mixing my
name with tn cir controversy between Mr..
G. N Bagwell and themselves.
Mr.. Stevens, you refused to discuss
certain questions with me two weeks ago
and I am glad that you have found in
Mr.. Bagwell a man worthy OF your at
tention., But since you have forced me
to say something hope you will excuse
me for reminding you again:
The people, and especially the farmers
of Georgia, are anxiously waiting for
your reply to the charge against you in
1905 by Hon. Harvie Jordan ljust before
you quit the farming business: we put
you in, you know, in 1900 that you
were at that time working In the interest
Of the guano trusts instead of the farm
ers, In an effort to break the price or
cotton Awful times then, you know.
Cotton down, organizations going on
trying to check the price; system OF
warehouses was being formed, but you
couldn't see why the guano trusts were
sending out thousands of guano tags
in unbroken packages in cars Of guano,
never to be used, as many as seven tags
on one bag oftentimes, farmers paying
for this waste OF tags, too, but you just
couldn't stand to hear a man charge the
guano trusts with doing this to break
the price OF cotton so that they might
ees cotton notes for their goods, then let

atfFely, was used and cotton goes up

Of a big state like Georgia to defend
them. Not one of them uttered a word
Of defense, but you were good enough TO
do so for them.

say something, tell them also how you

This Is probably the best way to han
die lime on q small scale. While lime
may be applied at various seasons, II Is
probably best to put II on In the fan OF
the year. It should be applied two or
three weeks before crop Is put on the
land Some crops like cotton do not seem
to be benefited by lining, but 1t Is help
full to all leguminous crops, and seems
to give good results with corn. We have
found ON the college farm this year that

ton per acre the souThsSfs corn root worm
has not damaged our corn anything IKE
as badly as where lime was not used
In other words, the destruction OF plants
where no lime was used amounted to 81
per cent; where lime was used this loss
was reduced to 1.75 per cent. Should this
ratio of benefit be maintained In future
experiments, 1t would indicate that lime
could be used with advantage and proht
on many Of our soils.

PREPARING LAND FOR FALL

The best results in wheat production
are secured on lands that contain a con-
siderable amount OF vegetable matter
The great wheat-producing section Of the
Canadian northwest consists Of a soil
which has been formed largely through
the decay of vegetable matter. II is a
rich black land, sometimes showing as
much as per cent OF nitrogen on analy-
sis. When you consider that much of our
soil does not show over per cent OF nj
trogen, you can see what a wonderful
difference I'm quantity and availability Of
plant food exists between these two types
of soils.
One desiring to grow wheat on land
such as you have described should pre-
pare to apply vegetable matter In consd-
cradle quantities either I'm the form OF
farmyard manure or green crops plowed
under. II is not too late to sow peas or
velvet beans yet and 1t would be advis-
able to seed them on this land as soon
as possible. In addition you should use
a fertilizer containing a fair amount Of
phosphoric acid and potash. We would
say not less than 200 pounds of the former
and 80 pounds OF the latter. The peas
should be ployed under and the land al
lowed TO firm and compact at least two
weeks before planting the wheat. Choose
a good variety of wheat and seed at the
rate OF one bushel and a peck per acre.
The land that you describe as puffy
should be benefited by an application of
lime, using at least one ton per acre.
