learned to know him very we'll in

now the head Of the Engineering De-

and that the Maine was to be uncov-

worked out. While he has disappoinr-
ed some partisans in not finding in
the Maine just what they wanted him

meeting with him, or nearly the first.
was when he came to e me about
the arrangements for his marriage to
a girl In my congregation Afterwards
] saw him often tt in Wilmington
and at Chapel Hill, the seat Of the
University. Besides serving his pro-
eessorship he was State Geologist. He
organized and was president Of the
Good Roads Association. He was in
strumental in the passing Of a law by
which any county could have the work

the foremost in the adoption Of the

miles of fine macadam roads.

NECESSITY OF ORGANIC
MATTER IN THE SOL

twenty-five miles in almost any dlrec-
ton in North Carolina and you VIII
see on every hand fields Of white, pale
sandy soils thrown out OF cultivation;
you will see fields OF red and gray
lands thrown QUO of cultivation. Why
this abandonment of ~cultivable lands
in North Carolina? Examine them
and you will find a good amount of all
the necessary mineral elements or
plant food but the humus or organic
matter content is almost nothing
They have no life in them and n
cannot give life to vegetation. They
are anemic: they have hoOkworm. If
you will allow the figure, n can do
LITTLE without a treatment. The vital
ity of these poor lands is so low that
it pays no n to cultivate them.
Deep blowing alone will not do.
The proper treatment of all these
poor or abandoned lands, that are
we'll drained, is, first. give them a
heavy dose of organic matter either
in the shape of stable manure or
green manure These are the two
sources of organic matter in u soil.
The one is, and always has been, too
limited to set much store by. While
the other is. always has been. and al
ways will be-, the principal source
from which We must obtain humus TOR
the agricultural soils in North caro-
lima.
Next week we expect to axe up the
discussion of the bringing up OF these
poor lands in the State and will speak
of the crops to be grown nrst IN an
attempt at their reformation. We
want to call the attention Of every
man who has poor lands on his farm
to this series of articles which will
likely extend over some months.

There are two things absolutely es-
sential to successful farming in North
Carolina One is deep ploWlng, ana
the other is the Incorporation IN the
soil Of humus or organic matter from
decaSing vegetation.
We have heard a great deal ABOUT
deep blowing. and, on SOILS Wnich
h&av We still. heavy sub-soils, deep ploW-
ing and. in some cases, even SuO-soll-
ing. is entirely necessary. But we
have heard all too little about the
organic matter content or our SOILS
Indeed. some wag might say. there IS
not enough organic matter in most OF
our soils to speak about nyway but
that is just why We should begin to
talk. Good blowing and a liberal
amount of vegetable mould or organ
ic matter in our soils constitute the
two oars by which the Agricultural
boat must be driven in North caro-
lima. We have hitherto done most or
our pulling on the blowing oar and as
a result our boat has inclined to go
in a circle with the result that the
people of the State are shipping in
tens Of millions of dollars worth OF
food supplies every year when they
should be selling more than they buy.
We are giving out no information
when we say that nine-tenths OF our
soils are poor and ~unproductive. These
poor soils are known and read of all
men When we see a boy nowadays
with q thin, pale. anemic face, we are
pretty apt to say he has the nook
worm, by which we mean he has little
red blood in his veins. low vitality.
he is Unable to do much, we say, and
waning strength, and little ambition.
His life forces are becoming weaker.
his ability to do is becoming less and
less every day and will finally be re-
duced to zero unless he is given a
treatment. Keep this in mind and go
