WORK DONE
BY STUDENTS
IS PRACTICAL.
.SUPT. MATHIS WAS A GUEST
At the Agricultural College
Yesterday

superintendent j. E. Mathis, of the
public schools, was a guest yesterday
with a small party of citizens from
Americus at the Third District Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college.
While he was at the college, MIR. Ma
this was escorted through the shops
where the students were at work. The
work being done by them was of the
most practical and helpful kind, ac-
cording to Mr.. Mathis, who was high
ly pleased with the work of the stu-
dents.
In the shop were students making
good, serviceable kitchen knives from
materials at hand, small articles Of
furniture, and laying brick. This in
dustria1 work is one of the most help
full and practical features of modern
instruction, according to Mr.. Mathis,
and shop of this kind should be IN
use at the High School building, where
the two basement rooms furnish quar-
ters that are ample.
Mr.. Mathis compIimented the strt-
dents highly on their work, also Sun
erintendent Collum, who has had
charge of the school since its incen-
ton and has made it notably practical
and efficient in every particular.

between May LIST and the 18th. The
plants are set l6 inches apart in the
row. II Is rather slow work planting

two boys to place the plants. we can
plant about $4,000 or Ave acres a

While the plants are young cultiya.

low, and just often enough to keep the

deeply the potatoes will be stringy,
long and OF poor quality. Then again,
shallow cultivation permits the soil to
dry out more quickly after q hard
rain, and dryness Is so essential to
quality that every effort should be
made to insure It,
The only manure we use Ia q min
eral fertilizer. applied in the row at
the rate OF 1000 pounds per acre.
This contains per cent. nitrogen, Z
per cent. phosphorus. and S per cent
potash. We use find ground fish or
tankage, nitrate OF soda, acid phos-
phate. and sulphate OF potash. We
mix our own fertilizer
The nitrate Of soda lie applied when
the vines are from 6 to 20 inches
long. at the rate of 200 pounds to tho
acre. and It is placed on the row near
the plants. This gives the plants O
quick start. causing the crop to set at
one time. and makes the roots OF uni
form size, with few small ones.
Thus. In connection with the min
eral fertilizer we use, and in the abb
sence of organic matter. We prevent
the tendency sweet potatoes have OF
setting all through the season. which
Is very detrimental to successful crop
ping.
Proper handling is just as impor-
tant as cultivation. For the first sales
in August we do not take the potatoes
out OF the ground any faster than We
can sell them. When stored in shedA
and barns the exposure to the light
and changes In temperature quickly
ruin the product.
Proper grading is also important.
We have three grades. The firsts are

EXCELLENT METHOD
OF FILLING A SIL0
There Is Greater Danger Of Put
ting Up SiIage Too Dry Rather
Than Too Moist.
CBy WALTER II. LEUTZO

Corn is ready to be cut for silage
when the grain is In the dent and
glazed. but can still be broken with
the thumb nail. At this stage, under
normal conditions, the two or three
bottom leaves will be turning brown
and the shuck will be turning yellow
at the end. There Is greater danger
of putting UP sllage too dry rather
than too moist In a stnye silo the
slaves should be frightened up to ex.
clude the air and generally loosened
little after the silage swells the slaves.
The inside wall of concrete silo
should be washed with thin mixture
OF cement and water every two or
three years. This fills the pores and
keeps the air from the silage.
/, will take at least six teams TO
keep the average silage cutter busy.
Corn should not be cut down too far
ahead or 1t will dry out too much.
Two men should work in the slo dis.

and should continually tramp the sill.
age next to the walls. The tramping
is especially to keep out the air. When
possible allow the machine to stand
two or three days and refill to make
use OF all the capacity. Finish filling
the sllo by running in load of grass
or weeds. This will rot and zeal tho

The silage should feel wet after II

mature when cut, and Ia therefore TOO

be run into the blower from q barrel

that the silage be we'll tramped. The
blower should be run q few minutes
every morning in order to clear the
atmosphere before any one enters tho

PRODUCTIVITY OF
SOIL MAINTAINED
Most important Object Of Green
Manuring Is the Addition Of
Needed HumuS.
csv r. G. wEATHERsToNE0

Green manurlng. or the plowlng
under OF green crops, is one OF the
Oldest methods used to maintain or to
increase the productivity OF the SOIL.
The effect OF green manuring varies
according to the original character OF
the soil. In general. sandy or gravelly
soils are made darker in color and be-
come more retentlve of moisture
Clayey soils are made more porous and
friable, so that they are less likely
To ruddle or bake, and are less subject
to washing. Loamy soils are less
noticeably affected than others.
The most important object OF green
manuring !s the addition OF humus to
the soil. Other things being equal, the
best green manure Is that which fur
nishes the largest amount of material
which will readily decay in the soil
and thus form humus. There are,
however, additional ways In which
such crop may be beneficial.
Deeprooted plants are decidedly
preferable to shallow.rooted. because
thew penetrate into the subsoll. In
this way air and water find entrance,
especially after the roots decay. Thus
in n way every deep.rooted plant Is a
subsoiler. II is also supposed that
such plants, especially when plowed
under. tend to enrich the surface soil
with potash and phosphorus from the
subsoll, thus bringing these substances
within the reach OF shallow rooted
plants.
Leguminous plants are more vain
able for green manuring than others,
because they not only provide humus
but also have the ability to use the
nitrogen OF the air, which upon decay
,ng they add to the soil. For this res
con green manure crops should always
he legumes n such are adapted to the
rarticular locality where needed and
cen be sown at the time desired.
