chanicsburg. Ohio, spent last
Thursday and Friday in Noxubee
as the guest of Mr.. E. V. Yates.
In company with Messrs. E. V.
Yates, Fisher Ames and Henry
Minor he went over q large por-
ton Of the county east and north
east Of Macon.
Mr.. Wing is not only an expert
agriculturist but a statistician Of
great reputation, having been
sent to South America by the
Tariff Board to gather facts
there, and has also been to Aus
tralia on a similar mission. He
is an an associate editor of the
Breeders Gazette. No man in
the nation has a wider or higher
reputation in his field.
He has been a lifelong student
of soils, farming and agricultural
conditions in all the states of the
Union. in South America, Mexi-
co, Great Britain and the CONT
nent of Europe. Perhaps there
is not in America another man
whose opinion has more value
than that Of Mr.. Wing. He is
distinctly a practical man, max
ing his living from the soil. To
a group of Noxubee county far
mers he said, after several days
study of our black, lime soils.
Il am delighted. Do you know
that your country impresses. me
somewhat d did the level plM Is
of black soil in Argentina, only
you have more trees than one
sees here. You have here nat,
urally a splendn a fertility. 1t is
80 much better Than you realizc
that l wish | could take q lot of
you with me to show what can
be done on similar lands. what
we have done on lands no better
in Ohio and Illinois.
Lands with sufficient lime in
them grow legumes easily; yours
make mellilctus and alfalfa al
most spontaneously. That means
that they are easily kept fertile.
You do not realize, | think, how
far in advance of the most of the
world you. are in this particular.
You have from 4 to 40 per cent,
of carbonate of lime in your lime
soils. Think what that would
mean if you had it to buy and
apply. l have lined a good deal
of land, to make it grow alfalfa,
in various states. l have ap-
piled LESS than per cent. even
that amount will cost not less
than $40 an acre to apply, count
ing only the top foot Of soil.
Take your good black soils and
you have in them lime that would
cost hundreds Of dollars per acre
to apply and, | am told, a great
deal Of phosphorus as well. Such
lands as yours are a curiosity
anywhere in the world.
While not all the area eff your
county, or even Of any neighbor-
hood is of this character Of land,
yet it seems to me the time will
soon come when your soft, rot
ten limestones will be taken out
from under the little hills and
applied to your postoak and
sandy soils. Then they too will
grow mellilotus, maybe alfalfa,
and will be easily kept fertile.
You have, however, SO enormous
amount of land already rich in
lime and not yet put to good use
that this will likely wait while,
but the possibility is there and it
is sure to follow.
do not wish to fiatter nor mis-
lead, you, however. and | must
say that nearly all of your land,
even the sloping and rolling
parts, would be better for under.
drainage with tiles. Do you
know that the prosperity Of all
Of Illinois and Ohio is based on
the drain tile? The same is true

Please pardon me if / speak
very plainly to YOU. Your lands
have been SO rich. so enduring,
that they have had to stand a
use that few if any lands in TIE
world can endure cropping for
go. 40 or so years with no ma
nure, no rest. no interval of le-
gumes. Nitrogen is not now in
sufficient supply in your lands.

Your plantations are far too

Your lands, well chosen as to
soil type, drained, given a course
of legumes to restore its nitro

You have facilities for produc-
ing baby beef. pigs, lambs, good
horses. / think you will always
grow cotton, but | hope to see
the day when you grow as much
as you now grow on half the
acreage, perhaps on third the
acreage. when the farm replaces
the plantation, when every acre
will be underdrained, rains will
be welcome, not dreaded, your
barns stored with alfalfa, your
cribs overfowing with corn and
on your farms good animals
enough to consume all or nearly
all that you produce. Then will
approach the time when the wife
and daughters can take an occa-
sional summer in Europe from
the profits Of a 300 acre farm.

The prizes will be awarded as follows:

Commissioner Blakeslee states that
the Illinois Central has been very liberal

NEW STATE BANKING LAW.
Reduces Expense of Receivership fol
Insolvent Institutions.

There is pending before the legisla-
ture what is known as the Kyle bill,
which proposes to create banking
department of the state government,
to be of no expense whatever to the
state, as the expense is to be paid out
of moneys collected from the state
banks for examinations as provided for
in the proposed law.
Most all the states in the union
have banking departments and the
banks are supervised and examined
regularly, penalties being assessed
against officers or employees making
loans out of the bank funds to them
selves without the written approval of
a majority of the board of directors,
and duly recorded in: the minutes of
the board. There is also penalty
against officers and employees overdraw-
ing their accounts with the banks.
A law forbldding officers and employees
to use these funds and providing for ex-
animation to stop this evil, it is argued,
will not only protect the depositors, but
will protect the stockholders, and, to
say the least, is not an unreasonable
law
