How Much Crops Rob the Soil.

A contributor to Farm and Fireside,
the national farm paper published at
Springfield, Ohio, says that few farm
ers realize the actual value Of the fer
tility of which they are continually
robbing their soil. The article goes
on to say:
Ar acre Of wheat deprives the soil
OF forty-five pounds of nitrogen,
twenty-three pounds of phosphoric
acid and thirty pounds Of potash. On
the market, nitrogen is worth seven
teen cents per pound, phosphoric acid
seven cents per pound, and potash
four cents per pound. Therefore, the
actual money value of the nitrogen
removed from the soil by an acre of
wheat is worth $7.65; of phosphoric
acid, $1.61, and OF potash, $1.20, max
Ing total loss Of $10.46 per acre per
year. If the farmer raises twenty
acres Of wheat per year for twenty
five years the loss will be $3.50.
Each acre of oats consumes fifty
pounds of nitrogen, twenty pounds of
phosphoric acid and forty pounds of
potash. Therefore, the market value
OF the elements consumed is $3.50
worth of nitrogen, $1.40 worth of phos-
phoric acid and $1.4O worth of potash,
making total of $11.3O worth of fer
tility per acre that Is lost through the
crop.
In the same way an acre Of corn
will take from the soil $3.50 worth of
fertility, provided both the grain and
fodder are removed. If you have fifty
acres in corn, 1925 worth of fertility
is removed each year. In twenty
years you will have taken out $1S,5OO
worth or the elements necessary to
produce good crop. In twenty
years fifty acres OF tobacco will re
move $4,000 worth Of the soils plant
food; in the same time fifty acres of
cotton will consume about $4,000
worth, and barley will use over $10,-
900 worth.
Should you raise fifty acres Of
wheat, fifty acres of oats and fifty
acres Off corn for twenty years on your
farm, the money values Of the ele-
ments removed from the soil will be
over $4,000. IS it any wonder, then,
that the farms begin to wear out,
when you fail to return those ele-
ments to the soil which are necessary
to produce a crop?p

With Slight Exceptions.

a Syracuse clergyman recently
preached a sermon on "The Influence
Of Newspapers, in which he charged
them with printing an untrue picture
of society, devoting most of their
space to vice, crime and scandal, said
that the sporting page has democrat
izing effect upon youth, the funny
pictures glorify cruelty, and the news
columns reproduce all the bad in So
ciety and combine audacity with
cupidity. Outside OF that it il not re
ported that he found any particular
fault with them.

w. MI. Ry Drawn Into Freight Fight.

Drawing the Western Maryland
Railroad into the struggle, John b.
Daish, special counsel for the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton OF Baltimore, fired the first gun
in the freight haul fight by filing a
petition with the Interstate Commerce
Commission asking that body to estab-
lish through joint rates from New
York, Philadelphia and intermediate
points to Baltimore over the Western
Maryland and Central Railroad of
New Jersey. The object of the petit
ton il to have line competing with
the Baltimore and Ohio and the Penn
sylvania Railroad in hauling freight
from these points to Baltimore.
Freight is now brought to Baltimore
from these points by the Western
Maryland Railroad, but the rate, ow-
ing to connection charges is approx
mately four cents higher per hundred
pounds than those of the Baltimore
and Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The Western Maryland has not join
ed with the Baltimore and Ohio and
Pennsylvania i'm abolishing the free
delivery and collection of freight, and
if the commission establishes the
through freight rates, as asked by
the petitioners, rates on the Western
Maryland will be the same as those
on the two other roads, and in addi-
ton Baltimore merchants will enjoy
the store-door delivery and collection
of freight such as they have had for
the past three years. lit would nat
urally follow that the rwo other rail
roads subjected to such competition,
would restore the delivery which they
seek to abolish the first of next month.
Connections could be made by the
Western Maryland with the Central of
New Jersey and the Philadelphia and
Reading at Gettysburg. A more di
rect route would result from making
connections at York, Pa, but to make
this connection the tracks Of the
Northern Central, subsidiary or the
Pennsylvania, would have to be used.
The petition intimates that the
Western Maryland would probably es-
tablish satisfactory rates If it were
free to do so, but that it is bound by
the action of two other roads. These
two roads, according to the petition,
are the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey and the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company, and the charge
brought against these roads IL seri-
Gus i'm its nature.

Speaker william II. Burwell of

for the first time since the Legisla-
ture adjourned.
Mr.. Burwell is a practicing attor-
ney, and has been more than ordi-

than two months work that had piled

Those people who expect the re-
Gently exacted tax equalization meas

Pile" said Mr. Burwell and there
are some few VIII think il will, are
mistaken, I honestly oelieve.
Whenever the real meaning Of the
act is explained, I lind that its com
mon sense features are Immediately
appreciated. and the small property
owner is coming more and more 10
realize that such meas4re, far from
working an injury to him, really is a
positive relief to him a. exactly the
sort OF law he needs.
THE property Of the small free
holder is easy enough, as q rule, for
the tax gatherer to Iocate-it is the
big and opulent property owner who
succeeds in hiding his assets the
most. This new law. if properly ad-
ministered will bring to light hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars worth
of property that now unrighteously
escapes taxation-and that property
is owned by big holders, not small
holders.
Il hope. and believe. the new law
will be administered as the Leg
islature intended IT should be-if it
is. it viii not be very long before
all Georgia will be singing its
praises"
In all probability Mr.. Burwell will
be a candidate again for the Legis-
lature in the primaries next year, and
in the event of his election, which IS
a foregone conclusion, he probably
will be a candidate to succeed himself
in the Speakership. If he is IL goes
pretty much without saying that he
will have no opposition.
