SOIL SURVEY FOR Lee COUNTY.

SOIL SURVEY FOR LEE COUNTY.
A letter from Congressman E.
is. Gambler to j. NJ. Thomas
brings the information that Mr..
Gambler will, as soon as practi
cable, secure soil survey by the
government of Lee county.
This letter was in answer to a
letter from Mr.. Thomas, asking
that such a survey be made. :
The government, through MIR.
Candler's inference, has made
soil surveys of Oktibbeia, Prem
tiss. Monroe and Noxubee coun-
ties and an order secured frcm
| tle department for a survey of
t e soil of Lowndes county.
The purpose of such a survey
is to have as matter of record
t le soil found in various sections
of the county, in fact, of each
square mile in the county.
The various formations, such
as sand with clay foundation,
loan, leaf mould, rock and 9TH
er soil formations are noted by
the surveyor. This record furn-
ishes a ready reference of great
value. While scientists have
never been able to analyze and
determine what fertilization is
best for the soil, yet a general
knowledge of the character of
the soil enables them to suggest
in what element the soil has bee n
impoverished or what would te|
n scessary to add to its value
from a productive standpoint.
Congressman Gambler will ret
be able to secure this survey i'm
mediately, but will get the work
done as soon as the department
is able to get men here.

LUKE Lee, SENATOR.

Before the joint session of the
Tennessee legislature on Monday
Luke Lea was elected to succeed
Senator Frazier, whose term ex-
pires March 9Th. Elk Governor
Benton Mcmillan, who received
the nomination in the democrat
ic party last summer. came witt :
in ore vote Of being named as
Senator. In the re j ment OF
Senator Frazier the country has
list but little. His entrance into
the Senate was on a snap judg-
ment obtained through the aid of
the late Senator Carmack. Sen
ator Bate died while the legisla
ture was in session and before
the funeral services Senator
Frazier was at work to secure
his election. Before Bob Taylor
and other candidates could reach
Nashville the election was prac
tically settled in favor Of Frazier.
When Mr.. Carmack's turn came
around to go before the people,
Bob Taylor went after him and
found him an easy mark. Now
that Senator Frazier has been
retired, all debts from this score
have been paid.
The name of Luke Lea is a ia
miliar one in the affairs of Ten
nessee. His ancestors on both
sides of the family have been
prominent in the politics and bus
mess affairs of the state.
The new senator is young
man of only thirty-two years and
will be the youngest member of
the senate. He is the owner Of
the Nashville Tennesseean, and
is man of wealth.
Mr.. Lea belongs to the indie
pendent wing of the democratic
party.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story Is told regard
ing the efforts OF an Eskimo to con-
struct' a telephone line. The Eskimo
..ne into possession Of piece c.
wire of considerable length and never
having seen wire before he asked Pro-
fessor Mcmillan of the Peary north
pole expedition what 1t was and what
1t was for. He was told that the
white man strung 1t on poles stuck in
the ground and a voice talking to an
instrument at one end could be heard
at the other end. After some search
the next morning the Eskimo was
found to be engaged in telephone con-
struction work of his own. He stuck
some sticks In the ground and hung
his wire on them. He held one end of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
1t at the top Of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion of his white friend.

Dr. Geo w Carey, an authority on the
constituent elements OF the body, says: The
gray matter of the brain Is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cellsalt, Potassium Phos-
phate phosphate of Potash. This salt unites
With albumen and by the addition of oxygen
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid,
but Potassium Phosphate Is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
it's own law of affnity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir of life."
Further on he says: 1.-THE beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking principle,
and in molecular FORM exactly as nature fur
nishes II in vegetables. fruits and grain. To
supply dehciencies-this is the only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that II Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
1t, you have brain flag because its daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, II you eat food known to
be rich in this element you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain building.

CORN REQUIRES
NURTURING FOOD
II Soil Is Not Naturally Rich
Stable Manure Should Be Aps
pIAed-HeIps to Hold MoAs-
Euxe in Ground.
(By A. ]. LEGG.)

The nature and habit of growth OF
the corn plant naturally suggests
fertilizer that will furnish plenty of
plant food throughout the growing
season.
In selecting a soil for corn this
point should have due consideration.
If the soil is not naturally rich in
plant food it is a good idea to apply
the stable manure to the land in
tended for corn. The stable manure
is largely composed of vegetable mat
ter which will help to hold moisture
as well as furnish plant food as 1t
decays in the soil.
Another point in favor of stable
manure for corn is that it furnishes
most plant food during the hot part
of the season when the corn is most
in need of a regular and constant
supply of nourishment.
The stable manure is deficient in
phosphoric acid and 1t is a good idea
to apply from 200 to 300 pounds Of
phosphate per acre. The super
phosphates are readily available but
the soil holds phosphoric acid well
and when applied to the soil it will
be held for the use of the crop.
have made it a practice for
several years to apply the stable man
ure to a sod for the corn. In the
early spring it is plowed under and
the ground well narrowed.
find this to work very well. A few
times | have also used $50 to 200
pounds of good grade super.
phosphate in addition to the manure
and find that 1t pays well for the
cost and trouble of applying.
The superphosphate is distributed
with the grain drill. just before the
corn is planted.
Some farmers go to the trouble Of
putting the manure in the hill but
this discourages proper root develop
ment and often does not give as good
results as the broadcasting, besides it
requires much more time and trouble.
prefer to save my own seed corn
from a we'll tested and acclimated
variety. Experience teaches me that
new varieties often prove unsatis-

In his native town Jimmy had al
ways been most popular with young

to boarding school, he was for time
too homesick to make friends. His
first letter was little more than a

everything" he wrote, dolefully.
"'Tisn't only studies, but it's gymna-
SUM and banjos and everything. l
don't believe they'll ever have much
use for me-"
But the second letter, written after
a week in the new school. was quite
different in tone.
I'm all right" he write to his
mother. 1.-THE boys say they'll teach
me all they know, for they're proud
to have me here. | can stretch my

times the amount of attention, indeed
that will be required by good-sized
collection Of hardy plants.
Another argument in favor of this
class is--that once established your
plants are good for an indefinite Pc
riod. Your garden does not have to be
made every season.
In spring the plants will need to
be worked about, ard freed from the
grass which will encroach upon their
territory. If allowed to do so. the soil
will require fertilizing, and once In
three or four years the plants will be
bettered by division of their roots.
This is about all this class of plants
will ask of you. A great many can
be attended to in day. you will find.

that of making beds and pulling

oysters grow only during the sum-
mer and especially during the long,
warm summers at that, and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before
the third year. 1t is easy after look
ing over bunch of shells to tell how
old an oyster is. A summer hump and
the winter sink come across the shell
every year, but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes; then, by
looking at the sinks between the
humps it is hard to tell anything
more about Miss Oysters age Oysters
