Soil Improvement
Special.

formation obtainable concerning
soil improvement and wheat cul-
ture was given the farmers OF
this community by men from the
College of Agriculture of the
Ohio State University when the
agricultural special train over the
Big Four stopped in Greenville
Saturday.
This train, which consisted of
three coaches and a baggage car,
besides the engine, was furnish
ed and operated by the Big -Four
railroad company and the lect-
ures were given by instructors
from the College of Agriculture
at Columbus. A. B. Graham, su-
perintendent of agricultural eX-
tension, from the College. and
John C. Emig, industrial agent
of the Big Four, with several
other railroad officials, had charge
of the train. The instructional
force consisted of Professors
Mccall, Waid, Livingston, Bear,
Darst, Johnson and Bachtell from
the College.
The lectures were given on
board the train. When the train
pulled up at the station, the
crowd, which was waiting for it,
was hustled into the coaches and
comfortably seated. Within five
minutes the lecturers were busy,
one in each car, each giving the
same instruction. The time was
divided into equal periods, one
period given to each subject. Al
the end of the lectures, illustrat,
ed literature dealing with the
subjects discussed was distrib'
uted as the crowd came from the
train.
Enlarged photographs ant
charts were used by the lectur
ers in bringing out the principa
points in their talks.
The first speaker called the at
tention of his audience to TIVE
large photographs showing the
Yields of wheat on two plots a
the Ohio Experiment Station
lOn one plot the average yield fol
the last sixteen years was onl.
lib bushels per acre and on tn
other the average yield, during
the same period, was 27.5 bush
els per acre. These plots were
located side by side, of the same
kind of soil, the difference il
Weld being due to the ditferen
treatment they had received
stated the speaker. An outline
of the manner in which these eX
perimental plots had been hand
led formed the basis of his lect
ure on soil fertility. The mali
points in his talk were as fol
lows:
The factors concerned in croE
production and soil improvement
are drainage, rotation of crops,
good tillage, use of lime, manure
and organic matter, and com
mercial fertilizers. There art
comparatively few farms in Ohio
that could not be improved by
the use of tile. Drainage re,
moves surplus water, allowing
plants to root deeper, thus they

stone to the acre should be used.
And keep the soil well filled with |
organic matter. Use all the barn
yard manure, plow under crop
residues and do not burn straw,
stalks or stubble.
The last point made by this
speaker was that Ohio soils are
lacking in the element phospho,
rus and that many of them need
nitrogen and potassium. To get
the best results with wheat it
will be necessary to use some
form of commercial fertilizer, es-
pecially one containing phospho
rus.
The next instructor took up the
subject Of wheat culture. He
pointed out that many farmers
neglect the proper cultural meth
ods and fail to select varieties OF
wheat that are adapted to their
soil and climatic conditions. with
the result that they do not get
full returns from their soil.
Preparation of seedbed was
| given first consideration. The
speaker showed by means Of
large photos what is meant by
the ideal seedbed, where the
land is plowed early, well pull
verized and compacted below
with a fine, loose layer at the
surface. In contrast to this he
showed the effect of late plow.
| ing and how the turning under
of heavy coat of manure or 9TH
er organic matter would affect
soil capillarity. He emphasized
the fact that the roller and har-
row should follow the plow, and
that disking of stubble land be.
fore blowing is frequently gooC
practice.
The best time to SOW wheat ir
the northern part of the state is
between September 5 and 10,
and one day later for each five
miles south. Where Hessian fly
is to be avoided late seeding is
advisable.
AS to the depth of seeding, the
Instructor stated that the seed,
under favorable conditions, SHOULD
be covered to a depth of II to {
inches, but in dry seasons 3 in
ches is not too deep. If moist
soil is not found within three in.
ches of the surface, seeding
should be delayed until after q
rain. Eight pecks to the acre
has given the best results at the
Ohio station. The drill should
be carefully tried out on the barn
floor before seeding time.
That the selection of better va
rieties is the easiest and cheap
est method of improving wheat
yields was another point brought
out by the lecturer. He stated
that in thirteen years of test in
Ohio, Dawson's Golden Chsff,
Gypsy and Poole were the three
varieties giving highest yields.
However, when milling qualities
were considered, Valley. Nigger
and Gypsy were the three stand
ing highest. Of the new varieties
originated by selection at the
Ohio Station, Poole Selection
6545, Gypsy Selection 61OO and

Death Of DR.. A. O. Dukes.

When the announcement of the
death of DR.. A. c. Dukes was made
Friday morning it cast a gloom over
the entire community. as 1t was not
generally known that he was sick.
He was. out at his store on Monday
but was not we'll. Tuesday medical
aid was called and he was considered
from the first a very sick man. He
was carried to Columbia on Wednes-
day night for an operation which
was performed at midnight. The op-
Grafton was a very painful one and
thought to be a successful one, but
late Thursday night he rapidly grew
worse and about IL o'clock that night
passed away.
DR.. Dukes has long been resi-
dent and prominent business man Of
this city. He was about sixty-one
years old. He leaves wife and sew
eral brothers and sisters and a large
circle of friends to mourn his death.
He. was a prominent member of the
Baptist church for clany years. The
funeral services will be conducted at
his late residence on Russell street
Sunday morning and interment will
be at Sunnyside cemetery.

Long. Line of Turkeys.

What would you say II you should
see file of turkeys stretching from
San Francisco to New York and from
New York back to Chicago? Some
turkeys" probably. Well, one of these
professional estimators has figured it
out that the Thanksgiving turkeys to
be consumed this year would make a
line about that long if placed single
file in marching order. But 1t Is cas-
ier to estimate than to acquire. Six
million turkeys Is the estimate made
by the statistician who has imagined
this 1000 mile streak of strutting
gobblers and humber hens in line.
Accepting this reasoning as mini
mum and supposing that the average
bird weighs nine pounds, 1t appears
that the people Of the United States
will consume 100000 pounds Of
turkey this Thanksgiving.

Fire at ST. Matthews.

Fire broke out in the Baptist par
sonage at St. Matthews soon after
noon Monday and considerable dam
age was done to the roof. The food
ing from the fire hose also played
havoc on the inside from an aesthetic
standpoint. The furniture and fix
lures belonging to Dr.. John A. and
Mrs. Sophia Brunson were all dragged
to the street In safety, but terribly
disfgured In transit. The fire Is sup
posed to have originated either from
a defective flue or from a spark to
the roof. There was no insurance on
the furniture. The parsonage au-
thorities carried fair amount on the
building.
