TO LIFT sMOoTH PIPE.

It is no easy job to lift vertical pipes,
well-castings, etc. out of the ground.
but the use of the device shown here
makes il easy. Two pieces of strong
spring steel CS) are welded to the end
Of an iron rod C2) and formed in the
shape of a catch at the end.
The implement should be pushed down
through the pipe CPl until the catches on
the ends OF the springs slip over the
lower edges of the pipe. Power can now
be applied to the rope or chain attached
to the springs. and the pipe lifted from
its place.

velop your farming operations along
more systematic and scientific lines.
Cotton will grow on great variety of
soils, and on lands typical of your sec

cation of vegetable matter most salts
factory. In addition, you should use
about a 9-3-4 fertilizer at the rate of ~
pounds per acre under the drill row at
the time of planting. 1t will often be
good practice to use 200 pounds as a
side application, and 100 pounds of nj
trate of soda as a top dressing If you
have not been able to pillow under COW
peas or other leguminOus crop. You will
get better results from the cultivation
OF cotton if you will put your land I'M
der a systematic rotation and plan to
turn under a green crop every second or
third year. You can do this and still OBJ
tain one profitable crop from the land
each year.

A PROGRESSIVE FARMER

W. H. NJ, Cuthbert: 1 have started
the progressive way of farming, and
would like to have a little information
on the kind of soil best adapted to cot
ton, and what fertilizers to use. Also
the best soils and fertilizers for corn,
sweet potatoes, Spanish peanuts.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-02-16

Land you intend to plant in corn
should be broken as deeply as possible
as soon as weather conditions will per-
NIT. Do not make the mistake of
breaking the land when wet in your
haste to turn it over, as this will injure
more than benefit it. 1t would not be
good practice to subsoil the land this
spring, but deep surface cultivation
will be advisable. Lay off your rows as
suggested four feet apart with scooter
pillow. Then, if you can possibly get any
yard manure or vegetable matter to put
in the drill rows, do so by all means, as
there is nothing which will do more to
insure good yield of corn than the in
corporation of humus. Mix with this
humus and the subsoil by means of
bull tongue 800 pounds of a 9-3-4 feftil-
izer. / believe on your land you can
probably afford to put all the fertilizer
under the drill row at the time of plant
ing, though, in the absence of vegetable
matter, it is often advisable to reserve
200 pounds and use as side application.
The advisability of using nitrate of soda
will depend on seasonal conditions. If
the corn does not make a vigorous
growth and look thrifty. apply 100
pounds of nitrate of soda as a top dress
ing relatively early in the season.
If oats are seeded in the spring, they
should be put in as early as possible.
Various varieties are on the market, but
probably one of the best to use will be
the Burt Use 300 to 400 pounds per
acre of an 1913 formula. mixing the fer
tilizer with the soil at the time of seed
ing the oats. The results from spring
oats generally depend on getting them
into the ground early in the season. and
owing to the fact that the soil is often
4 g h. fol
ing of oats is generally to be preferred.

Muriate of potash is a concentrated
form of potash carrying about As to So
per cent of potash. Kainit is a low
grade material, and contains some inn
purities, especially chloride of sodium
and other chlorides as well. which act
probably somewhat as disinfectants in
the soil and prevent the ready decay of
organic matter. On this account the
high-grade potash may be considered in
some instances as rather more suitable
for use on rich lands than kainit. Kai-
nit can not, however, be classed as an
Objectionable material to use. but it's
low content of available plant food
makes it necessary for the farmer to buy
and handle four tons of it to secure the
same amount of available plant food
contained in one ton of muriate. Mu-
riate is preferable in practically all in
stances where one can buy IL at the
relative cost per pounds of available
plant food. as the freight will be less,
and its action in the soil more favorable
probably than that of kainit.
Nitrogen as provided in cotton seed
meal is a suitable source of this mate
rial to use for corn and cotton, but it
would not be a satisfactory material to
use as a top dressing on winter-grown
cereals. Nitrogen in nitrate of soda is
more quickly available than in cotton
seed meal Where one desires a form
OF organic nitrogen cotton seed meal
furnishes this material in excellent form.

THEORY OF EARTH MOVEMENT
Sir George Darwin, Noted English Sci.
enlist, Delivers Interesting
Address on Tides.

Sir George Darwin, the noted sc1en-
fist, who was the guest of the Authors
club in London recently, delivered an
interesting address on his theory OF
the tides. Everybody knows that the
tides are due to the moons attraction.
In the tidal motion the movement Of
the water causes friction and conse-
quent slowing dewn of the motion OF
rotation OF the earth, as brake would
do. The effect, though almost intin-l
itesimal, becomes appreciate in time,
although it has not yet been meas
ured. But it must exist, and this slow
ing down being due principally to the
moon it must be accompanied by re-
action on it, with the result that the
moon will move further and further
away from the earth, owing to the
yielding of the system. The opinion OF
many authorities is that the moon
was shot off from the earth at the por
ton now filled by the Pacific ocean.
AS 1t is still moving further away and
the rate of rotation of the earth DIM
inishing the time will come when the
length of the day and that OF the lu-
mar month will be the same, and the
earth and moon will again revoive as
rigid body. When that occurs the
day will be SIS times as long as our
present day. But the sun also pro-
duces tides and similar effects, though
on a smaller scale; So the year, too,
will be heightened.

The church year was closed up
Sunday, with salary and local ex-
penses all paid in full and good
showing for benevolences, though
we did not meet the full apportion-
ment for Missions. The pastor will
carry good report to Conference.
The church has prospered during
the year and there is harmony and
good will among the membership.
There were SO at Sunday School
and Missionary offering of S8.45.
AT the Sunday School board meet
ing on Wednesday evening the same
cops of teachers and officers was
elected for the coming year, except
that Mrs. Williams was made Super
intendent of Cradle Roll in place of
Mrs. Bennett
There were good congregations
present on Sunday considering the
bad weather. Some were very kind
in expressing a,desire for the return
of the present pastor for another
year. This is most gratefully APP
preciated, for none can know better
than himself, his efficiency and fail
ings. Whatever of good has been
done, is owing to the cooperation
of the people and their kindly pa
tience.
The prayer meeting on Wednes-
day night was interesting. There
were forty present though the wealth
err was rainy. These meetings are
growing in favor. A large number
