TO PREVENT SON wAsHrne.

When soils are likely TO wash. an ounce
of prevention is worth many pounds OF
cure. The best remedy is preventive
one. This applies especially TO the
formation of gullies on hillsides. BY
which farm may. be completely ruined.
in very few years.
When these bitches are small they may
be filled with rubbish that will check the
current of water and cause the sediment
to be deposited there. which win result
in the filling of the ditch.
The general washing that takes place
from the surface of all billy and even
slightly rolling land should be looked
after as well.
This washing removes the best soil
and lowers the productive capacity OF
very large areas of land. Much OF this
was not of the best to begin with, and
the removal of the thin top soil has
rendered many tracts almost worthless.
silt and clay soils are much more la
Bile to wash than sandy ones, because
the particles are smaller. consequently
more easily carried by water; and as
these soils do not absorb the rainfall
readily, because the pores are small, so
there Is more water to run off.
While it is impossible to change the
preciable extent, yet they may be treated
in such a way as to change the texture
in a few years.
This may be done by Incorporating or
ganic matter in them. The partially de-
cayed material cements the soil particles
into granules or grains, giving 1t some
what the porosity and looseness of =
sandy soil.
The granules thus formed are too large
to be carried readily. When In this
condition. water viii be absorbed rapid

ground will be in condition TO absorb
a heavy rainfall.
1t is estimated that ten inches OF loose
soil viii absorb two inches of rainfall
A large supply of organic matter should
be maintained. IL possible by growing
Iegumes and cover crops.
In fact a soil that is liable to wash
badly should never pass through the
winter without a cover crop. The roots

FORBID JUDGES FROM PoLrTICAL
CAMPAIGNS.

If there was one feature in former
Georgia politics which incurred real and
outspoken criticism ii was the associa-
ton of the judiciary with active polit-
ical campaigns. 1t never failed to inn
press the sensible voter with its menace
and its danger.
A man who is selected to adjudicate
disagreements between litigants should
be an impartial man as his chief pre-
requisite. He might be an inferior
lawyer, as many were known to be. but
he should have been an unbiased judge
and one who was honest enough to deal
fairly with the people whose lives and
property were decided upon by the
judge.
But there was a time in Georgia when
political judges and political solicitors
were known to be the rankest of polit-
ica1 partizans and their verdicts were
often in evidence to give force and ptth
to such criticisms
When the full extent of the authority
of such political judges is properly un-
derstood, there will come an overwhelnI-
ing demand from the people everywhere
that judges must let alone politics
when they seek or occupy the bench.
recall of unjust judges is surely
coming, and it ought to come. At one
time the bench was the most powerrul
factor in Georgia's ring politics. Solic-
itors running for office have been re-
Fported as quashing indictments to secure
votes and control family influence tor
elections It became notorious and in
the Seventh district in days gone by II
was no unusual occurrence TO have peo-
pie tel loyu that they were afraid ia
speak out or vote. lest the political
Judge or soncitor would punish for such
votes when their cases came for trial
I can recall many such conversations
and the facts verified the statements.
Peri apps it is impossible to select
elect & appoint judges in Georgia with
out the blighting touch of politics. Elec-
ton by the legislature made the entire
performance dirty scandal. Election
by the people gives us judge who will
favor his faction and punish his polit-
ica1 opponents Appointment by the
governor has it's many objections, but
it is at last the most satisfactory way
because the governor is held responsible
for the sort of men he selects for the
bench. 1t is perhaps the least of ELS
But any judge who butts into a po-
liticaa campaign ought to be recalled IL

cy and good order. Take him out and

3 How the clover acted as feruilzeI
was not known until about is years ago
Since that time our knowledge upon the
subject has very considerably increased
and every year now something more Il
learned.
Leguminous and pod-beariTlg plants
unaided have no more ability to help
themselves to the nitrogen of the air
under any circumstances than have
other green plants.
Certainly bacteria existing in the soil
penetrate the soft tissues of youna
roots of legunes and multiply within
these lively tissues so as to form q
little mass of gelatinous subs lance
Responding to the irritation produced
the plant builds a nodular structure
about the bacterial invaders, not unlike
the formation of a gall consequent upon
the sting of an insect.
Numerous nodules may be formed or

characteristics peculiar to the species OF
plant on which they occur.
Some Enthusiastically much larger
than others or they grow in different
shapes or have different forms OF
groupings, etc.
In some way not we'll understood
these plants with nodules or tubercles
are capable of getting sufficient nitro
gen from the air to serve abundantly
their purposes when the soil has M
supplies, and when other plants mus
die from the want of IL.
Either the bacteria are the direc
agents in the process or they aid ths
plant itself to do what, without such
aid it cannot do. May these legumes
organisms or some of them be made
to form tubercles or other plants fol
instance maize? Here is matter o.

The Joyous Future

Be calm though the summer stays near
Us
And the straw hats reluctant to flee,
Though the climate refuses to cheer us
with the pleasures that autumn should
see. 81
Look ahead with a patient persistence
At the change that must soon be your
due.
Somewhere in the beautiful distance
There's snow shovel waiting for you.
Be calm as the lawn mowers rattle
Sounds high while you push 1t along.
Don't rail at the prophets who prattle
OF hot waves so stealthily ana strong.
The north wind win storm at the case
ment
And you'll start the old struggle anew
AS the smoke filters up from the base
ment-
There's a furnace bill waiting for you.
