BURLEsoN SHY ON SCRIPTURE.

The people of Ennis held post
office primary at which Mr.. Loggins
was nominated. On the strength Of
the primary the Congressman of the
district recommended Mr.. Loggins for
appointment to the place. Those OPP
posed to him have filed protests, and
Postmaster General Burleson has
stated positively that he will not APP
point him because he spoke of Presi-
dent Wilson in uncomplimentary
terms, the particularly offending state
ment being that "the only timeN he
would say anything good of Woodrow
Wilson would be when he was in his
closet with the door shut Postmas-
ter General Burleson is evidently shy
on a knowledge of the scriptures, OF
he would have known that this was
the tenderest expression Mr. Loggins
could have made concerning President
Wilson. Matthew 6:6 says: But thou,
when thou prayest, enter into thy
closet, and when thou hast shut thy
door, pray to thy Father which is in

pletely worn out and abandoned. Peo-
pie tell me that twenty or twenty-five
years ago the Brazos River bottoms
had cotton planted in eight-foot rows
and made two bales per acre, and they
thought at that time that this land
was so rich that ii would never wear
out. A few weeks ago | made a trip
to the famous Brazos River bottoms
and found cotton planted in three and
one-half foot rows and the people salts
fed with a yield of three-quarters of
bale per acre. So you see the ques-
ton is drawing near our homes and
something must be done.

tanned by restoring what is removed
by our crops. Nitrogen. potash, lime.
and phosphates are removed in every
crop that is harvested and all OF these
must be returned If the fertility is to
be maintained. When one of these
valuable forms of plant food is def
cent, poor crops result unless some.
thing containing the element wanted
is added. The lack of even one of
these precious substances or forms Of
plant food will cause the crop to be
about as poor as if all four OF them
were deficient.
Nitrogen can be returned to the soil
through commercial fertilizers, Iegum-
nous crops, and barnyard manure.
The most important commercial fer.
tilizers that are rich in nitrogen are
cottonseed meal and nitrate of soda.
Cottonseed meal usually contains be-
tween six and seven pounds of nitro
gen in each hundred pounds of meal,
and is therefore expensive. 1t also
contains some phosphate and potash.
There are several grades of this meal,
those that contain the largest proper
tion of hulls being the least valuable.
This meal can not be used by plants
until it has decayed. It is more suit
able, therefore, for crops that occupy
the land in the warm weather than
for very early crops which make their
growth in cold weather.
Nitrate of soda is a fertilizer with
more than twice as much nitrogen as
cottonseed meal. 1t costs more than
twice as much per ton, but does not
need to be used in such large amounts.
There is another way in which nitro
gen can be returned to the soil, and
a way in which we save paying such
a high price for it. This is by the
growing and turning under of legum-
nous crops, such as cowpeas, alfalfa,
peanuts, soy beans, burr clover, velvet
beans. and crimson clover. 1t is prob
able that all of these crops will not be
suited to any9ne's special soil, but at
least some one of these will grow on
your farm if proper attention and care
is given them. This fixing of nitrogen

SOILS AND THE FARMER

This article is written with the idea
of presenting, in as concise and clear
way as possible, the great need and
great Importance of conserving the
fertility of our farm lands Nearly two
centuries ago when the white man be-
gan the cultivation of the soils of
America only narrow strip OF land
adjacent to the Atlantic ocean was
used for the growing of crops, and
when a field became worn out a new
spot of woodland was cleared. This
generation to generation. and is to be
| found today in almost every portion of
our great country. Our soils are year
ly producing crops which are being
removed from the land and nothing is
being returned to them in exchange.
The first farming of a virgin soil
has nearly always been grain farming.
Grain is grown every year, with no
provision for keeping up the humus
supply either by means of barnyard
manure or by blowing under mate
rials; even the straw in the wheat
growing sections often being burned.
Little barnyard manure is produced,
and that which is formed is either
thrown away or is allowed to lose most
of it's value before being put on the
land. Very few farmers in, any part
of America have yet learned to handle
manure without losing one-half of its
value. The fertility of the soil may be
carried away by erosion, by wind, or
by water. Probably more soil fertility
is lost in this way than by cropping.
The necessity of maintaining the
fertility of the soil can not be too
strongly urged. We have but to look
around us to see the devastating ef-
fects of failing to provide for this. In
China, for example, there was no pro-
vision made at first for maintaining
the fertility of the soil, and as a re-
suit of this method of farming no
country is today as poor and unfertile
as China. Famines are Of frequent oc-
currence and when they do have
good year their harvests are mere pit.
tances as compared with our abun-
dant ones. When our forefathers first
came to the New England States they
found a soil as fertile and as rich as
any they had ever dreamed of, and
yet today the farms in many portions
of the New England States are COM

indeed a great relief. This action on

another evidence that the people OF

GRADING THE CITY STREETS.

That the City Council has acted
wisely in the purchase of the county
road grading outfit is apparent to all
who have seen the splendid work done
on Wheelock street. A week ago it
was ragged, rough, gully-washed and
about as unsightly as a city street
could be. Now it is nicely graded,
smooth, even, slightly and has already
become a favorite driveway for auto
mobiles. 1t his been thus improved
for at least mile, and was done so
quickly that the change seems almost
magical.

Ex-President Roosevelt's phonetic
spelling school has an apt pupil here
in Houston. A sign tackled to post
on one of the principal streets reads,

That reminds us Of sign we once
saw on a store in the Blue Ridge
Mountains of North Carolina which
read: "Kokokoler fur sail hyar" And
from the wording and looks of the
sign, we doubt if there was man in
North Carolina who would dispute the
statement.

Tomorrow is holiday with the pub
lie schools, and picnic day with-a num-
Der of the Sunday schools. 1t is hard
for the grown-ups to realize just what
picnic means for the children, what
a joy it is to them, and how much
real happiness they get out of it. For
this reason we should take greater
interest in the exercises of tomorrow,
and lend ourselves diligently to the
pleasant duty of entertaining the chip
dren. Let us give ourselves over
wholly to this duty for the one day,
and the sparkling eyes, the ripling
laughter, and the merry shouting of
the children will more than repay us.
Besides it will make our own hearts
younger, our lives sweeter, and our
burdens lighter.
