that they will not dissolve in the
saltwater, they cannot be used. II
the soil be hard, so that the roots
cannot penetrate it; if it be dry, so
that there is not sufficient saltwater
to dissolve the substances upon
which the plant feeds; if it be sog-
gy, so that air cannot circulate and
the bacteria which change the un-
available foods to available forms
cannot thrive, the crop will be cut
short. If there be lack of potash,
no matter how much of the other
plant foods may be present or how
good the soil condition may be, the
crop will be limited by that scarcity
of potash. On the other hand. if
there be waiting to be dissolved
enough of all the plant foods to
make a record yield, and the soil be
dry and dead so that it does not re-
tain moisture, there will be only a
small crop made.
All these things help to fix the
size of the crop. On most Southern
soils most crops are limited by the
poor texture of the soil-by its be-
ing too wet, which shows the need
of underdrainage, or by a lack of
vegetable matter, or humus-rather
than by lack of plant foods. This
does not mean, however, that it will
not pay to apply plant foods-which
is exactly what is done when fertil-
izers are applied. Better methods
of tillage, better drainage, more
humus in the soil would undoubtedly
enable most land to make larger
crops than it now does with much
less fertilizer than is now used, or
with none at all.
But Southern soils are not rich in
plant foods. Some are poor in pot
ash, most in nitrogen, practically
all in phosphoric acid. Even after
tillage, drainage and the addition of
humus have enabled the land to
make much better crops, these crops
will still be limited by the scarcity
of one plant food as compared with
the others. Will it not pay, then,
to supply this needed substance and
thus still further increase the crop?
Of course, it will. The men with
the richest soils-the truckers and
intensive farmers are today the ones
who can use commercial fertilizers
most literally and get the most
profit from them, and it will always
be 30.
Let no one talk about getting to
the point where he will not have to
use fertilizers. Let him fill his soil
with vegetable matter, cultivate it
well, give it good drainage and, if
he studies fertilizers and his soil, he
will use more fertilizers than ever
not because he has to, but because
it will pay him.-The Progressive
Farmer.

ming to Mr. ] A Blackwell of Sardin-
ia. They are very popular in social
circles and will be much missed by
their numerous friends in and
around Manning, as their home for
the present will be at Sardinia. The
marriage ceremony was rendered
after the solemn and impressive
form of the Episcopal church, by
Rev H H Covington, rector OF the
Church of the Holy Comforter, Sum-
ter, and Immediately after, the large

the tastefuly decorated dining room
and served with the most delicious
refreshments. The punch bowl was
presided over by Mrs Thomas and
Mrs Harlee of Manning.
The talented young artist, Mr. Wy
lie Hodge of Alcolu, decorated the
rooms with much taste in green
background and white carnations
and roses. The low and sweet wed
ding march was played by Miss Gus
sic Applet, and as the lovely strains
commenced, little Miss Eleanor
Crawford, niece of the bride, like a
little white fairy, and with a basket
yof white roses on her arm, came in
with little Master Robert Blackwell,
brotherrof the groom, also in white.
bearing in his hand a silver waiter,
an heirloom of the Gaillard family
for over a century, on which was
placed the wedding ring. Next came
Miss Lou Gaillard, maid of honor,
carrying a lovely bouquet of white
roses and ferns and looking very
sweet in pink satin and gold trim
mings. The groom and his best
man, Mr. Henry Blackwell, next
came in, and then the bride on the
arm of Mr. Sam Barron.
The bride looked charming in
white satin and pearls and carried
on her arm an exquisite bouquet of
white brides roses and maidenhair
ferns.
The company enjoyed themselves
in interesting conversation until time
for the Z p. m. train, when they ac-
companied the young couple to the
depot and gave them liberal sup
ply of rice and good wishes.
Among the large number of out
of-town guests were: Mrs M L Nc
Beth and Miss E P Gaillard of Pi-
nopolis, Mrs Rachel Gaillard of Dal-
zell, MIR and Mrs Ben Crawford of
Durants, Mrs M C Mouzon of Kings
tree, Miss M S Boyd of Salters, Mr.
and Mrs Blackwell of Upper Salem,
parents of the groom, Miss Lucius
of Columbia, Mrs John Cowser and
the Misses McFaddin and Wheeler
of Sardinia, Mr. and Mrs Garland. Mr.
and Mrs Daniel, Mr. and Mrs Thomp-
son and Mrs Evans of Midway, Mr.
and Mrs Nettles and Mr. and Mrs
Hinson of Alcolu and Miss Marie
Price of Charleston.
The presents were too many to
enumerate, and among the beautiful |
array of cut glass, silver and other |
useful articles were many valuable
checks.

The Skagway Alaskan is opposed to the holding of non partisan conven- tion. It claims that all the people of Alaska have to do is to let tbe follow CTS of Wickersham have full sway-and begins anew the Shackleford howl We have often heard it said that hose who most vigorously advocated home rula were doing so because they were anx- ious for the jobs, but we never believed it. The vail of the Alaskan sounds like it. We have no desire to take from James Wickersham or his followers any honor or glory that may be theirs, because of their efforts on behalf of home rule. But it was Wickersham who told a Douglas audience that he has done his part, had drawn his salary aud that it was now up to Alaskans. We believed him. We believed that the measure of home rule extended to Alaska was for all of the people, whether they were republicans, demo- crats or bull moosers. Now this yigor- ous advocate of the doctrines of Wick ersham would have us believe that none other need apply. It would have us believe thas Wickersham lied when he said thai he hoped Alaskans would choose only the ooSt men for membersh!Y iu be Alaska Legislature, irres pective of political affiliations. It would have Us believe that after saying that the burden was now on the people of the Northlard he means that only his own followers are to De considered. What rot
 If the Home Rule Progressive party shall nominate good men for the legis lature they should have equal consider. ation with any other candidates, but if the citizens of this cooutry, wbo were excluded from their primaries shall name better men, let the best men win. We only waa, uen that we can trust for this first Alaska Legislature, men whose business ability and personal integrity are beyond question regard less of politics.

A Bunn Poet

The following communication came through the mail yesterday from one of our old and valued subscribers. We leave it to our readers to decide as to the justice of the charge:
 Treadwell, Oct. 1, 'l2. To the Douglas Island News, Douglas, Alaska.
 There was poem by M. J. O'Connor in one of your recent papers which was gem and a decided improvement over his former attempts. Whenever be blossomed out into poetry before it was so bad you could stampede herd of mules with it.
 Can leopard change his spots, or can bum poet transform himself into an A l article? No! Then where did he get it? Some say he swiped that poem from James Whitcomb Riley-it jingles somewhat like his-others say that Dave Housel made it; or did O'Connor kiss the blarneystone?
