TIRE INDUSTRY
SHOWS GROWTH

The growth of the motor car in
dustry in America is one Of the Won
GERS of the present eentury's COM
mercial development. That the motor
car, both for pleasure and business
purposes. would become as popular as
II has within few short years prob
ably never occurred to the men who
QUILT this country's first automobiles
Along with the growth of the motor
car industry a corresponding develop
ment OF the automobile tire business
took place, until today In the United
States are located the largest tire
factories In the world.

DOWN TO THE BARE FACTS
YOUNG Minister'S Passion for self-Sae-
HlReo Had Results That Might
Have Been Anticipated.

The announcement Of Miss Helen
Miller Gould's betrothal led one Of the
charity workers of New York to say;
Marriage itself win not be able to
Quench Miss Gould's passion for Civ
ing. Apropos to this passion. she once
told me a story.
There was . young minister, the
story ran, who. being poor and hav-
ing nothing else to give. used to give
away his clothes.
"The young minister's district con-
tanned many needy men, and he would
give them shoes and socks, shirts and
coats, gloves, o~vercoats and trousers.
Yes, time and again he would give
away his clothes, foolishly and reck-
lessly, piece by piece, until"
Here the charity worker smiled.

himself"

growth and extension of root systems
as instruments for obtaining nourish-

part of the plant must take place dur
ing a certain definite period previous
to top development. This period and
consequent root development is short

drainage, by permitting an early rapid

The development Of the root sys-

TOBACCO IN CROP ROTATION
Recommendation Made as Result Of
Experiments Made at Virginia
Station-Grass is Best.

The office Of experiment stations
Department Of Agriculture, has re.
ceived a copy Of a report from the
Virginia station of experiments made
in cooperation with the department
in connection with tobacco growing.
As a result Of the crop rotation
work the recommendation Is made for
the following seven-year rotation: To.
bacco, wheat, grass, corn with Grim
son clover as a cover crop, cowpeas
and red clover. The rotation of crops
in the suncured tobacco district was
found necessary and profitable. In
connection with this rotation work It
was foand that seeding grass alone In
August gave better results than seed
ing with small grain.
It was also found that heavy ap
plications Of fertilizer were more
profitable than light applications. The
use of 1000 pounds Of 1873 fertilizer
per acre gave a profit Of 5000, while
1900 pounds Of a home-mixed fer
tilizer gave a profit Of $112.17.

WAYS OF SECURING NITROGEN
Very Costly Substance to Buy In Artk
ficiai Fertilizer, Vet Most Soils
Need More Of Il.
INV L. r. NEEL.)

(By L. r. NEEL.)
Their Is a lack of sufficient nitrogen
in the average soil to supply all OF
the demands Of a grain or grass crop.
Sometimes this need is very great. SO
that a good crop cannot be harvested
without supplying nitrogen artificial
ly. This element is very costly in q
commercial form, costing most farm
ers 20 cents . pound or more So that
a fertilizer wtGh only 1.65 per cent Of
nitrogen Is made much more expen'
sive by It's presence. At 20 cents per
pound for the nitrogen the cost per
ton for this element would be $3.50.
If 200 pounds of this mixed fertilizer
were used to the acre, only 3.3 pounds
Of nitrogen would be applied, and this
at a cost Of not less than sc cents.
This small amount Of the element un.
der consideration would only be
enough to start growth w the acre.
Nitrogen is q very costly substance
to buy in an artificial fertilizer. and
yet most soils need more Of 1t. For
~tunately 1t can be secured without
buying II. All the plants belonging
to the order commonly known as
legumes can get their nitrogen power
from the sAr as Of the air Is nitro
gem, by the aid Of very small plants
or bacteria living on their roots. So
this class Of plants is Independent Of
the nitrogen in the soil. II there Id
plenty of other plant food In the soil,
they will make a luxuriant growth
where nitrogen is. deficient. This
nitrogen that the legumes draw from
the air is stored in root, stem, leaf ans
seed. II the crop is allowed to decay
on the land or is fed to stock and the
manure returned. the nitrogen content
Of the soil will be increased and q bet.
ter crop Of corn, wheat or grass can
be grown. SO It Is evident from this
that there Is a practical way of sup.
plying the corn, cotton, tobacco and
hay with nitrogen without paying 20
cents per pound TO. 1t. And it should
be mentioned that nitrogen accumu.
lates In land in pasture or when shad-
ed by some crop, or by straw or
boards. etc. Both of these natural
ways Of securing nitrogen are very
important. but 1t should not be
thought that the latter will be sum
cient without the former.
The legumes are the beans, peas,
clovers, alfalfa, vetches, peanuts, beg.
garlice, the locust tree and some 9th.
or plants not so well known. There
is scarcely n among them but that
is valuable as a farm crop, so that
they "a be grown at q profit indie
pendently Of the nitrogen they gather

Drains do not lower the water table

table is thus formed into q series OF

such a depth will keep them above this

In some instances the land Is too

the water table lowers sufficiently
through natural causes. In such
cases depths Of two and two and one.

Relation Of Depth Of Tile to the Po-
sitlon and Depth Of Water Table.

water. Plants require a mois aoil,
but cannot grow in a saturated soil
where roots come in contact with
standing water below the water table.
Plants obtain their moisture almost
entirely from capillary water, that Is,
the water which is held in the small
openings between soil grains as oil in
a wick. Since capillary water is only
available in the unsaturated soil above
the water table, drainage, by lowering
the water table, makes oom for more
capillary water, thus increasing the
supply Of water available to plant
roots, and making possible the storage
of large quantities of moisture during
a wet eason against the time Of
droughts. With drainage comes also
the more favorable condition for the
formation Of mulches and consequent
prevention of waste Of moisture by
surface evaporation.
BY the downward percolation Of
water toward the drains, the plant
food, Of the fine surface soil and the
manures, is carried downward to be-
come thoroughly incorporated In the
soil, rather than to be washed away by
surface overflow. Moreover, the deep
ening Of the soil increases its capacity
for water, and prevents the overflow
which washes away the saturated.
muddy top soil.
Vegetation car use only plant food
of finely powdered soil easily soluble
in water. The passage Of air and heat
into and through the soil, made pos
sible by the removal of the standing
water, and the Interchange of air
through the soil between the bodies
of air in the tile and the air above the
soil, d~isintegrates the soil particles
hitherto unavailable to plants, and pro-
duces that fine. crumbling, workable
condition Of the soil known as fine
texture, in which is found the maxi
mum amount of soluble plant food and
the most favorable conditions for plant
growth. The toughest clay soils are
in this way made friable, responding
with increased crops. The increase
Of heat and air provides favorable con-
ditions for the increase in the num-
bers and activity Of bacteria, the min
