DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS
ARE NEARING HARMONY

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 24-Prelim-
mary plans for the Democratic harmony
primary to be held April q, have gone
forward to the extent Of the naming of
six members of the board to hold the
primary, three from each faction These
six are yet to name seventh and COM
plete the board. question is being
brought forward as to who selects the
temporary offices of the convention May
16-whether the regular" state COM
mittee or the primary board. In case
of numerous contests. control Of the tenn
porary organization might mean control
of the convention. 1t is not yet appar-
ent whether the point will make serious
trouble or not. In several counties, in
dependents are not inclined to follow
the leaders in the harmony plan.

Free From Colds.

People who can keep strong and well
throughout the year seldom have any
serious trouble from colds.
Those who are constantly taking cold
are persons who are weak and run down
and have not the vigor to resist even a
slight exposure, which would have no
effect upon one who was strong and well.
BY building up the system with Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which gives a good appe-
lite, makes the blood rich and pure and
invigorates every function of the body,
colds may be avoided. This great med
icine expels all disease germs and inn
purities from the blood, thus protecting
the system from serious diseases as
well as from lesser ailments. 49,"

The Iowa Agricultural Expert
ment Station has set out on a
nationwide hunt for a home
made round silo built in 1898 or
earlier and Incorporating come of
the important features of the pat
ented structure of today. These
features are the continuous door,
reinforced door jambs, door jamb
braces and devices for holding the
doors in place.
The cause for this search is
that the wooden silo manufactur-
ers claim that American farmers
cannot build round silos of any
description without first paying
tribute to them in license fees.
The Iowa station is not making
any bitter fight against any one,
but it merely wants to make
certain about the disputed point
and learn the truth of the mat
ter.

THE VALUE OF PEAS.

The value of cow-peas, stock-peas,
field peas or whatever one may choose
to call them, is incalculable on the
farm. For instance, we planted a two
acre plot in young fruit trees about
four years ago. The land was well
drained, of the right slope, and 9TH
erwise suitable for an orchard, but
had been planted successfully in cot
ton until the fertility was well-nigh
exhausted. The first year the trees
were set out we sowed oats broad
cast on the land. The oats were hard
ly worth harvesting, and the young
trees stood stock still, with foliage
of a sickly, yellow hue, and bore every
indication of giving up the ghost. The
next year we planted speckled peas
in drills and cultivated them. They
made fairly we'll and the fruit trees
took a new lease on life. The follow
ing year we planted 1t in peas again,
and such a crop of peas l never
saw before. When they began to
bloom the orchard would be one solid
mass of purple every morning, and
the quantity of peas they made was
wonderful. We only picked off about
u bushels for seed, and let horses and
hogs harvest the rest. Late last fall
we hauled in 10 or u loads of leaf
mould and new ground scrapings
from a woods lot nearby and this
year planted the orchard in cotton.
The two acres made more cotton than
any other five acres on the place,
and as for the fruit trees, they are as
fine and thrifty as / ever saw. This
year we reserved three acres to plant
in peas for nay. They were planted
about tbs middle of June, but on ac-
count of continual rain through the
summer we never worked them. The
middle of September we cut the
vines, and hauled in plenty of hay to
feed Is head of horses and cattle
through the winter and spring. We
planted peas i'm the corn field, a row
on each side of eevry row of corn.
From these we picked all WE needed
for seed, for chicken feed and some
to sell.

GrRns, rorzATo CLUES

The boys corn-raising clubs of
the south have found rivals in
the girls tomato clubs. Since the
first of these was organized, in
1910, at Aiken, S. c., by Miss
Marie Samuelle Cromer, president
of the Teachers association, the
movement has spread widely
throughout the southern states.
Prizes are given for the largest
and the second largest yield, the
largest net gain, the best display
at the county fair, the largest
tomato and the best written his
tory of each garden.
One girl, Miss Kate Gunter,
cleared $40 above all expenses
from her one-tenth of an acre.
Even Jerry Moore, the champion
boy corn-grower of the south,
made but $50 from his entire acre
of corn.
THE tomato club" says Miss
Cromer, does not exist simply
for the raising of tomatoes, but
for lessons ethical and economt-
cal Little girls learn the
problems Of drainage, soil pests,
spraying, rotation of crops, real
money understanding to reach a
common goal, and rejoicing in the
success of others.
Their gardens have been an in
spiration to whole neighborhoods.
To all it is teaching useful and
valuable lessons. 1t is teaching
them self-support on the farm; it
is showing them a way to col
lege; it helps them socially, and
1T teaches them many lessons
about the world"

nitrogen for cotton. You will probably
think there is not so much difference
in the formulas for these two crops as
might be anticipated, but heavier fer
tilization for corn is necessary than for
cotton. You win probably find 500 to
COO pounds of any OF the formulas men,
toned as relatively as effective for cot
ton as 600 to 900 pounds would be for
corn.
INCREASING THE YIELD OF CORN.
A. J. r., Athens, Ala, writes: 1 have
some second years land and am going
to try and see how much corn can
raise to the acre. 1t made 20 bushels
to the acre last year without anything
but work. The land is peat loan of
the Tennessee valley type, and is low,
but no water stands on IL. 1t has a good
many large stumps on it, as 1 cut all
the timber off when 1 cleared it Please
write me what would be the require
ments to make the best yield to the
acre.
Judging from your letter you have just
received a virgin piece Of soil which
lies low, and therefore has received the
wash and drainage from the uplands for
long series OF years. On this ac-
count it contains a large percentage Of
available plant food, and is no doubt in
excellent condition, as the vegetable
matter has not been worked out Of it
or exhausted by heavy crop production.
It is quite likely that this land will pro-
duce an abundance of stalk, but there
is some reason to believe that the use
of phosphorus and potash may prove
helpful in increasing the yield Of corn.
Suppose you try about 800 to 500 pounds
Of 10-4 fertilizer on this land the pres
ent year. If the stalk was not as large
as you think desirable, then add about
per cent OF nitrogen. On land such as
you have IL would be good practice to
put the fertilizer under the drill row
at the time of planting the crop, pro-
vided you use an organic form of nitro
gen, If you consider the nitrogen neces-
sary You should give clean and rapid
surface cultivation to the crop and keep
il up as late into the season as possible.
1t would be good practice to get rid of
the stumps as soon as possible, as they
are in the way of effective cultivation,
and occupy too much available ground.
Use a variety of corn which has given
good satisfaction in your section for a
series of years. If this is bottom land
a big cared sort will answer well, but
if il is in a basin at the foot of upland
soils, probably one of the prolific va
rieties will be the most desirable to Sc

FERTILIzING CORN AND COTTON IN
CAROLINA.


J. R. v. Anderson, S. c., writes: We
would like to have a good formula for
cotton and corn for this section.
Such a variety of materials may be
used in preparing corn and cotton fer
tilizers that It is difficult to make a
suggestion which fully meets your sit
uation- For instance, you may desire to
use dried fish, tankage, cotton seed meal,
sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of soda
as the source Of nitrogen. There is also
a wide choice OF materials from which
PHOSPHORUS and potash may be derived.
In our opinion, however. you will find a
mixture Of 900 pounds of acid phosphate,
] 900 pounds OF cotton seed meal and 100
pounds OF muriate of potash a good for
muIa to use. This will make a mixture
analyzing So per cent OF PHOSPHORUS, 3.5
per cent OF nitrogen and 35 per cent of
potash. This formula should be we'll
adapted for corn on red clay uplands
in fair state of cultivation when used
az the rate of 600 to 1000 pounds per
acre Where you desire TO increase the
nitrogen this may be done by top dress
ings with nitrate Of soda. For gray or
sandy lands the phosphoric acid should
be raised to 10 per cent and the potash
10 4 or per cent
For cotton a good formula for red
lands may be prepared by mixing to-
gether 1,000 pounds of acid phosphate,
so pounds Of dried blood, $50 pounds of
muriate OF potash and $50 pounds OF dry
earth. This latter is put in simply 70
bring the formula up to tonnage weight.
Where high grade materials are used
this formula would contain about per
cent OF phosphoric acid. per cent of
nitrogen and per cent Of potash. We
have found this an excellent formula
70 use on the red clay upland soils OF
Georgia. For sandy lands, 9 70 l 0per cent
Of PHOSPHORUS. So 10 per cent OF nitro
gen and 4 TO 5 per cent of potash have
given good results. OF course other
forms of nitrogen besides dried blood
may he used Sulphate OF ammonia and
nitrate Of soda may be used in what
may be termed underground fertilizers at
the rate Of 200 ITO 800 pounds to the ton.
Cotton seed meal and nitrate of soda or

saw one on the train at Mystic.
The Duroc-Jerseys are a STANDARD
breed Of American swine and are often
known as Jersey Reds on account OF
their color They are a prolific breeo
of hogs. and are well adapted 10 Geor-
gia conditions where they are bred 10
some extent. This breed grows rather
rapidly but probably lays on more faC
than is desirable for a bacon hog. They
would not be classed as the best rang
ers or rustlsrs, standing second in this
respect probably to the Tamworth ana
Berkshires. They make good quality
of hams, but the meat is a little coarser
and not so well blended as the Berk-
shfres. We would regard these hogs as
somewhat better adapted for sections
where there is a much larger amount
OF corn raised and where il is lower
in cost than in Georgia. You will not
make a mistake in selecting Tam
worth's for grading purposes. They
have been bred for years with this emo
in view and take kindly to Georgia con-
ditions They are being bred on the
College farm where we have had them
for several years, and a large num-
Der of animals distributed over the
state have given a good account OF
themselves. and the breed seems to be
gaining IN popularity.
There are so many plows on the mar
ket that il is impossible to advise you
Just which one to buy as many of them
have merit. We can not suggest a one
horse plOw as being suitable for use
on any farm with our present knoWi-
edge of soil conditions in Georgia.
You should make an effort to buy a.
least a two-horse pillow. Purchase an
oliver Chilled, Vulcan, Syracuse OF

from an acquaintance of the agricul-
tural conditions prevailing in your Sec
ton Of the state that you will find the
use Of a two-horse pillow a profitable
and satisfactory investment.

A ton of cotton seed contains APP
proximately 626 pounds of nitrogen,
25.4 pounds of phosphoric acid and 2S.4
pounds of potash. A ton of cotton seed
meal contains 1853 pounds of nitrogen,
56.6 pounds OF phosphoric acid, and
ia pounds of potash. Of course, the
composition of meal varies according to
the character of product turned out by
the mill. You know that it is possible
under certain conditions to produce a
meal analysing z per cent nitrogen,
though sometimes a product running as
low as SIS per cent nitrogen is turned
out Naturally, the higher the per cent
of nitrogen, the higher the content OF
nitrogen per ton. In other words, ton
of cotton seed meal may contain from
100 to las pounds of nitrogen. You
will see from these figures that cotton
seed meal is much richer in plant food
than the cotton seed. and of course
where one can make a satisfactory
basis of exchange the seed should be
sold and the meal used. 1t has been
demonstrated by many tests that about
900 pounds of high-grade meal is equiv
alent in fertilizing value to ton of
seed.
