item.
These facts are especially empha-
sized in case Of pork production. Hogs
can be pastured the year round on a
variety of pasture forage that will
nearly mature them for market with
out Tire addition OF corn. Under the
final adjustment of agriculture in the
United States, 1 believe that larger
portion of the South will be found pre-
eminently adapted to dairying; to the
production of horses, mules and swine;
poultry; and in the mountain districts
to sheep; that it will be found that they
can be raised more economically there
than in most any other portion of the
world.
1t Is simply necessary to call a.ten-
ton to the great value of Southern con-
ditions for the production of the semi
tropical plants -sugsrcane, rice and
cotton; three of the best cash crops in
the world. The United States already
produces 70 per cent. of the fibre that
practically clothes the world. The rich
alluvial lands along the gulf are well
adapted 20 the sugarcane. The river
bottoms and the coastal prairies take
kindly to rice, and produce it in great
quantities. The paat year an expert
ment made by our department showed
80 bushels per acre of rice. Nearly all
the Southern States produce cotton.
AS an example of what can be realized
in cotton, some of the very sandy lands
the past year produced as high as two
bales, netting the owner more than
$3.50 per acre.
Along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts,
and even in the interior, are large
tracts of sandy loan land perfectly
adapted to truck growing. They have
not as yet been more than partially de-
veloped, but ultimately they are going
to constitute the permanent garden
lands of the United States. Single
acres have yielded 1, celery, lettuce and
such crops more than 81, 900 per acre.
cit is unnecessary to dilate upon these
facts. The South has not understood;
neither its soil nor its climate have been
appreciated. Lands are far below their
value at the present time, and there is
no better place on the continent for
young, thrifty and vigorous men to
start agriculture than in many of these
Southern States"

Fertilizing Grain in the Spring. We
have also found most excellent results
from fertilizing wheat and other grains
during the month of March, in prefer
ence to applying the fertilizer at the
time wheat is seeded in the fall, and we
strongly recommend to our customers,
whether they seed clover or grasses or
not, to fertilize their grain crops with
200 to 300 pounds of animal bone or a
good grain fertilizer, at that time, and
run the harrow over it to slightly incor-
porate it with the soil. The increased
yields of grain will well repay for the
fertilizing and little extra labor re-
quired.

ARE YOU SICK?
Pep-SenRa Produces Remarkable Results
for Kidney, Liver and Bladder Sufferers,

If you are run down, do not fail to
make request to the Woodwork Lab
oratory, 1161 Broadway, New York, for
sample of Pep-Senna, which is curing
thousands. The well known saying that
delays are dangerous" applies more
fully to the kidney, liver and bladder
diseases than to anything else. Dis
eases of the kidney, liver and bladder
will stand no trifling, because there is
no disease so deceptive, and nothing
more fatal.
Look backward and recall to memory
the many sufferers, and others who
have died during the past year. Have
you ever stopped to think how many of
them could have been made we'll and
happy just by the use of Pep-Senna,
this great health restorer? If you feel
down hearted and discouraged, send for
a sample today.

Sowing in March on Fall-Sown Grain.
Grasses and ,clovers especially can be
safely and satisfactorily seeded on fall
sown wheat, or other grain crops, dur
ing the month of March. Seeding at
that time not only saves an extra prep
arstion of the land, but the narrowing
and cross-harrowing, which is desirable
In order to give the grass and clover
slight covering, act as cultivation and
adecided benefit to the wheat, and grain
crops, increasing the yield to consider
able extent. In fact, even if you do
not seed clover and grasses on your
wheat and fall-sown grain in the spring,
it is to advantage to run the harrow
over these crops, so as to break the
crust of the soil, which acts as aSculti-
walton and materiallyincreases the yield
of the grain.

Or. Knapp Talks Of the South.

The agricultural possibilities of the
South should be constantly kept before
the people of our own section in order
that they may actually realize the glo-
rious opportunity that is ours.
DR.. Seaman A. Knapp, special agent
in charge of the bureau of plant indus
try and farmers cooperative work I'M
der the direction of the United States
Agricultural Department is certainly
an accepted authority. Recently DR..
Knapp when asked for an opinion on
the agricultural possibilities of the
South said: "You have asked me to
give an opinion on the agricultural pos
sibilities of the South. The subject is
so large that it will be necessary for me
to classify it under four heads, as fol-
lows:
81. Corn, hay, pasture and forage
crops.
go. Stock raising.
''3. Fibre plants.
"a Truck farming.
1T has been thought till recently that
the South would not raise large crops
of Indian corn, but little demonstra-
tion has proven that the soils and eli
mate are specially adapted for that pur-
pose, and that larger crops can be rails
ed than in the so-calied corn States.
Climate conditions are much more ia
vorable for the corn plant, snd as a
large portion of the plant is of atmos-
pheric origin, climate is of primary con-
sideration.
"All that is necessary is to prepare
the soil in the best way, and use good
farm methods, and the South will de-
velop into one of the best corn regions
of the United States. We have pro-
duced the past year, under test, from
80 to $50 bushels of corn per acre.
"For pasture and hay, the South is
also superior to most of the Northern
States; first, because of the greater
rainfall, and secondly because of more
favorable climatic conditions. The rea-
son the Sout.. has not developed in this
line is because the farmers have been
so engrossed in other crops that they
have paid but little attention to hay
and pasture lands, and have failed to
use the best methods. Under trial, the
past year, we have been able to produce
from four to six tons of hay per acre
where the soil was thoroughly prepared
and the proper seed used.
Then there is a great variety of
forage plants, such as the velvet bean,
the cowpea, soy beans, Japan ribbon
cane, ETC., that grew with amazing
vigor in the Southern States, and are
exceedingly nutritious, so that there
can be an abundant supply of forage
for stock all seasons of the year.
''In three respects large portion of
the South is superlatively adapted to
stock raising. First, because of the
abundant forage that can be provided,
as stated above, and secondly, because
of the temperature, which is so mild
that it does not tax the vitality of the
animal, and it reduces the amount of
food necessary to sustain life and vigor.
Thirdly, as compared with the extreme
North there is great reduction in the
expense of providing shelter in the win
ter, all of which means an addition to
the vigor of the animal, and its immun-
ity from disease, such as tuberculosis,
etc. Then the longer period of pasture
makes it more economical. The COM
paratively low price of lumber for build
ing purposes Is another important

The high prices and indicated high prices

more largely used and depended upon
as a soil-improver, as at present values
1t costs less to seed per acre than any

PLAN OF FoRTIFICATIoN.

PLAN OF FoRTIFICATION.
The program of the President is to
fortify the canal at the entrance with
fortresses so impregnable as to prevent
hostile fleet gaining entrance. Along
the route of the canal, other fortresses,
masked by hidden works, and to be
built at strategic points. to be used as a
reserve in case entrance is gained past
the Notifications. Mines are to be sub
merged at both entrances, as we'll as
along the route of the canal, so that if
the land Notifications are reduced the
submarine defenses can be brought into
action. To accomplish the greatest
part of this work, an appropriation of
SIP, 475. 1923 is asked
The expenditure of this money is to
be spread over period of five years.
Work is to be begun at once. according
to plans of the War Department., and
continued until the Notifications are
completed. 1t is estimated that it will
take at lest five years to carry out the
work already mapped.
The board recently appointed by the
President to make report as to forti-
flying the canal, has recommended that
the following seacoast armament be
placed for defense of the canal against
naval attack: Eight 14-inch rifles,
twelve 6-inch rifles, and twenty-four
12-inch mortars. For the defense of
the locks, dams, bridges, tunnels and
seacoast Notifications against land at
tack by raiding parties, the board has
made recommendation that permanent
field work be constructed. AS the con-
struction Of such works will require
time, and cannot be delayed with safety
until the imminence of war has been
recognized, the board is of the opinion
that they should be completed by the
date of the completion of the canal.
The exact locations of these defenses,
as we'll as a number of others that are
contemplated are confidential to the
War Department.
Comparatively strong natural defen-
Give positions exist at the Atlantic and
Pacific entrances of the canal for de-
Tense against land operations. These
positions are capable of being strength
ened materially, and the details of their
development are now being worked out
by the War Department.

BETTER NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Plans For the Fertilization of the Canal as
Mapped Out viii Take Five Years
10 Finish.

ITO prevent the possible defeat of
the United States in time of war, an
imperative need of national defense, is
the complete fertilization of the Panama
Canal" This statement cvmes from
Secretary of War Dickinson and Is
backed up by the influence of President
Taft.
One great plan of the administration
is to fortify the canal, to make it i'm
possible of capture by a hostile nation,
and incidentally to be a means of guard
ing possible points of attack in CONT
mental United States. By it's impregna-
bility. the integrity of the small repub-
lies of Central America would be guar
anteed, as well as providing assurance
of safety to the republics of South
America. In its greater aim, in time of
peace, the canal is to be the means of a
quicker communication by water be-
tween the Pacific and the Atlantic, and
an offset to non-competitive railroad
traffic between Pacific points and points
on the Atlantic.
