through. carried with it the control
of public utilities by the boulevard
corporation. Continuing the speaker
said that the road would mean biz
expense upon the State tor upkeep
The question of a road such as pro.

aggregating $4,000 are offered for |
the best yields of certain crops |
grown on a ten-acre model demon |
stration farm The crops specified |
represent important products of a |
properly-conducted farm; and 1t is |
hoped that the results will afford a
convincing object lesson of the adj
vantages of intensive farming and
! illustrate the three cardinal princi-
pies of scientific culture-conserva-
tion. rotation and diversification.
Nature has SO richly endowed tho
great state of Texas with fertile
soil that we have grown needless Of
the fact that even large store OF
any product must in time become
exhausted If 1t is not in some way
conserved or renewed, and as con-
sequence of our reckless waste and
continuous cultivation of the same
crop on a given tract, much OF our
Texas land has lost heavily in es-
sentlal organic and mineral ele-
ments and is actually deficient in
humus and phosphoric acid. 1t Is
therefore Of the utmost Importance
that we begin at once to repair, in
so far as we can, the damage already
done, and see to it that the devasta-
ton is permanently checked
The congress Is laying special
stress on the raising and blowing un-
der of a leguminous crop, as the
/ legumes have the peculiar property
of assimilating free nitrogen in the
air, and when plowed under return
this element to the soil. AS nitrogen
is the most expensive ingredient in
commercial fertilizers, this fact
alone should induce every farmer in
the state to cultivate crop of this
nature A leguminous crop however
not only restores nitrogen and In a
less degree phosphorus and potash
, to depleted land, but it also renews
the humus, or organic matter, which
in many cases has been washed
away or lost through careless cul-
tural methods.
1t Is stipulated that cowpeas shall
be planted on the first plot in class
A, and are to be plowed under al
maturity This is for the purpose Of
conserving the natural fertility oil
9 the soil and to return to it the life
giving substances extracted from il
Q by crops previously grown on the
= land
[ For the purpose of demonstrating
the value of diversifieation as vel
d as of rotation and conservation, the
congress has provided that kaffil
r corn, milo maize shall be grown or
I the second plot, cotton on the third
: and corn on the fourth, these being
the most profitable of all crops
] marketed in the south.
= Entry blanks and further particu-
: lars regarding this and the other
D classes of the contest will be gladly
