One MILLION FOR STAMPS
IS SPENT BY ATLANTA
Receipts During Last Twelve
Months Nearly $4,000
Greater Than in 1910

Postonce receipts for this year will
amount to approximately si.2OO.oOO and
will be nearly 100000 greater than last
years receipts.
Postal receipts are secured almost
wholly from the safe of stamps, and ST.
100000 In receipts means that ovsr 81
600 ooo has been spent here during the
last IL months for postage stamps
If the fact were announced that sew
eral million had been spent for auto
mobiles or hats or jewelry. 1t would
seem natural enough. But 81 ,000,0 900 for
postage stamps is fact that is at Arst
surprising.
1t almost seems that a million dollars
would buy stamps enough to furnish
postage for all the letters the world will
write during the remaining years of it's
existence. But that is before you con-
slider the amount of Atlanta's mail-order
business.
In this form Of enterprise, Atlanta has
fashioned after Chicago and surpassed
every city of similar size In the United
States. Through the mails. Atlanta IS
selling goods Of every description in
every part OF the south. For many
years this has been the market place
for Georgia.; now IT Is the city to which
the south comes to do its shopping.
In addition, 1t Is the home of m IRE
publications than are printed In any to-
er two cities of equal size. In addition
to newspapers, periodicals for various
and sundry trades are published here al
most without number
The fact that the postofhce receipts
have increased nearly 100000 within the
last year shows that the general b ISL
ness of the city has increased decided
ly. Postoffice receipts are a business
barometer, and an increase of 100000 in
II months is proof. OF profitable and
hopeful conditions. n

to the relative value of ground phos-
phate rock and acid phosphate for Geor-
gia soils.
The subject of your inquiry is one OF
great concern to Georgia farmers, and
we are investigating the problem. Only
= little work has been done along this
line, however, and we cannot give you
definite advice as to the best method
OF procedure at this time From ona
years results in our demonstration
field, the following data were obtain
ed:
Six plats were set aside. On three
no lime was applied; on the other three
lime was used at the rate of 1000
pounds per acre. ON the first plat no
Fertilizer was applied; to the second
plat 400 pounds Of floats or ground
rock were applied and to the third plat,
400 pounds of high-grade acid phos-
phate. The yield OF corn per acre with
no lime was 13. S5.S and 3s bushels re-
spectiveiy. With lime and fertilizer
the yield became 4s. 57.5. and 51.s BUSH
els respectively. 1t will thus be seen
that lime was very beneficial on these
soils when used in tn e caustic form at
the rate of 1000 pounds per acre. It
will be observed that there was de-
cided increase with and without Iims
where 400 pounds of floats per acre
was applied, and virtually the same in
crease under similar circumstances
where 400 pounds of acid phosphate was
used. In other words. the two mate
rails in this single test gave about the
same results. 1t would hardly be fair
to conclude from this that floats is
equivalent to acid phosphate, and in
our judgment where floats Is used. at
least twice as much per acre should be
applied as where the acid is used.
.In experiments made to date in 9TH
err states 1T appears that floats has Civ
en- the best results where there is a
considerable quantity of organic matter
in the soil. As our Georgia lands are
low in this material, it does not seem
we'll to recommend the use of floats
until a little more work has been done
along this line. we are intensely in
terested in this proposition and are in
vestigating 1T as carefully as we can
under the circum stances, and hope to
have IL compare tive plats under test
next year in II different parts of the

Land which has been rotated and man

of oats, and an application Of 400 pounds
of 10-4 should answer very well. though
possibly the lateness of the season might
be ground for using I to per cent OF

push the crop along. If your land is very
sandy, I would suggest the use Of 500
pounds of the 1914 formula as peas make
rather neaVy uTdIt on DOln PnOSpuOI US
and potash, and it will be well to put
a fairly liberal amount of these ele-
ments in the soil for the oat crop. Your
plan of top dressing with nitrate OF

This has proven very satisfactory
method of practice in our own expert
ence and that of many other farmers
as we'll Nitrate OF soda seems to be ex-
actIy snittd to the oat crop and invig-

plications will probably give you even
better results than one. ~
Not over two pounds per head per day

AS late as 1877 what is now known
to have been the last nesting place
of these wild birds was found in the
state of Michigan, where their nests
thick'y covered the trees over an
area % miles long and four miles
wide. Residents Of New York declare
that in 1850 they fiocked over Manhat.

birds lay at the wharves selling them

as observing a roosting place of wild
pigeons in Kentucky early in the last
century that extended 40 miles and
was three miles in width On its
edges men with guns, nets, clubs and
torches slaughtered the roosting
birds, each often bagging 500 in one

species that early in the last century
swarmed over the continent in Hooks

soon disappear the last race OF the
wild pigeons that have been slaugh-

their hogs upon the carcasses they
could not carry away. Though 1t is
too late to save this species. special
efforts are now being made by the
Audubon workers to bring about the
restoration of other birds of economic
value that must otherwise share tho
same fate.

which potatoes played the major or

guests and gave his host land on
which to cultivate potatoes near

said Horatio in distinctly resentful
