- GYPT has always been popu-
- lar as winter resort with the
English and the French, for it
- is the real land of sun and
warmth, and it is readily be-
coming quite as important to Ameri-
cans. This year, owing to the war
of the Balkans and the various trou-
of the tourist travel which makes the
regular tour Of the Mediterranean and
go to the Bosphorus are remaining at
Egypt, and it is estimated that more
than fifty thousand persons visited
Egypt in the course of the last winter
season. and the land of the Pharaohs
has so rapidly increased in popular
ity as a winter resort that a consider
ably greater number are expected in
the coming season.
A writer in the Graphic, in discuss
ing the peculiar charm of Egypt, says:
Cairo is rapidly becoming the city of
epicures. In pleasures of the table,
of the ballroom, society or sport, moth
ing but the best is good enough. The
world is ransacked to provide the ma
terial necessary.
Three Points of View.
Egypt may be seen from three diff
ferent standpoints. From a society
point of view, when balls, parties, ex-
cursions and gentle fiirtations fill the
days to repletion, when the hotels are
filled with grandees and even kings
and queens do not disdain to make
a prolonged sojourn, as during last
winter; or from an archaeological
standpoint, when days are spent in the
ruins of temples and tombs. and one
steps back into the ancient times and
experiences the fascination of watch

FORGET ART OF CONvERSING
Professor Thinks Modern Education
Has One Bad Effect, and Gives
Reasons for Assertion.

Prof William McAndrew, of the
Washington Irving high school, in the
Worlds Work, makes the observation
that educators can't talk. Il am ap-
palled at the barrenness of the CONVEX
sation of school people. We are
wretched listeners and poorer takers.
We are rarely engaging or entertain
ing. One might reasonably expect
scholarly professor to converse sur
passingly well. He usually disappoints
The immature youth who spend so
much time with us fail to gain habits
of conversation which are essential to
the growth of a social being like man.
l notice especially at school parties
or when | overtake one of our young
sters on the street how pitiably clum-
sy they are in their talk. Not only
has our education failed to bring out
their social graces but, it has sup
pressed what they have. The boys OF
meager schooling, whom one meets
on the city streets or in the Maine
woods, show, after you have coaxed
tanned conversation that makes their
society delight"
THE reason for this lack is" he
says, that the topics of the school
room are Isolate. One cannot find an
an opportunity to use them in society.
No one will engage with us in chat
upon the CLAIMS digestion, the abba
tive absolute, or Sir Waters style.
1t can be argued with some degree Of
truth that the things taught in school
are what our best society ought to
talk about, but so far are our school
managers from controlling the
thoughts and conversations of the
world that we usually find ourselves
awkwardly silent in company because
we belong to an epoch that has
passed"

lastly, we may study the modern peo-

Strange as are the peoples ways

charm. Their manners often seem to

| ignorant and yet from courtesy ac-
| quiesced in what we said, although
against their better judgment Above
! all, they are men in stature. Few
races would have come through the
thousands of years of ruin and oppres-
sion, and yet stand up as God made
them and not grovel in the dust.
Their hearts are sound when they
know where they are going and who
is in front of them, but they have
been betrayed so often that the mem
cries linger still.
They give the impression of race
whose destiny has not been fulfilled
Now they have their chance. BY the
grace of Allah, there has been sent to
them a man, soldier, such as they
have not had for thousand years,
a strong man, such as the eastern
heart can understand, worship and
obey. The Egyptian people, quick to
recognize worth and power, thought
the matter out and met him with
cheers. A new era has opened be-
fore this old land. an era of progress
and hope, and now, Inshallah! Egypt
will fulfill her destiny"
Wonderful Temples.
Egypt, with its clear air and its
brilliant sunshine, is an ideal spot for
the camera enthusiast. The wonders
of it's temples and pyramids, the
grandeur of its scenery and the pic
turesqueness of its people inspire both
the amateur and the professional
photographer to his very best efforts.
Egypt Is practically newly discov-
cred country since 1t has been possI-
Bile to reach the land OF sunshine by
one OF the comfortable Nile steamers

million dollars, which is now sent GU;

is not much use to grow ten to twelve

corded it before. Since the ground
was broken in most instances with ;.
horse turning plows or discs, there is
no reason why the same method should
not be extended to practically all the
land devoted to corn growing in Geor-
gia. Many of the boys used some yard
manure or vegetable matter on their
land There is no reason why every
farmer should not have a compost heap
and why he should not take good care
of the yard manure produced on his
farm. There is no good reason why
the live stock business should not be
increased and larger supplies of yard
manure made available. Certainly ev-
cry farmer can afford to grow some
leguminous crops and pillow them under
for the enrichment of his soil. T
way is clear therefore, of increas-
ing the supply of vegetable matter in
Georgia soils, and thus making II
possible to raise a larger amount Ci
corn on all the land devoted to this
crop. Naturally these results can not
be attained in one year, but it is es-
sential that definite scheme of soil
building be inaugurated on every plan
tation in the state, and the boys have
shown how this may be done.
Some will say that these acre plats
OF corn were grown only on the very
choicest piece of land available on
given farm. 1t matters not if this is
the case. The point is that the other
land can be built up by means at the
disposal of the farmer and made
equally rich. 1t may take several years

GEORGIA'S RECORD AS A
CORN GROWING STATE

, has given us as cheap base upon
which to build a fertilizer as any othe
material we have experimental with
for several years past. For corn on
clay lands an 1913 will answer vers
we'll; on loamy soils a 9-3-4; and OF
sandy lands a 1885. In order to
secure the high nitrogen content sug-
gested in some of these formulas n:
trate of soda will need to be used as
| top dressing A small amount of it,
not over 100 pounds to the ton, may
| be incorporated with the mixed fer
tilizer, the basis of the fertilizer being
cotton seed meal, acid phosphate and
muriate of potash These clemens
are easy to secure and are more or
less markedly deficient in many of our
soils, but the farmer who undertakes
to use heavy applications of fertilizer
, must bear in mind that the thoroug
preparation of the soil and the use OF
| vegetable matter are essential, if he
expects to secure proper return from
the fertilizer Ordinarily, we would be
inclined to put 300 pounds of the fer
tilizer under the drill row and use
200 pounds as a side application on
soils of fair fertility. On very rich
and highly fertile soils all of the fer
tilizer may be Put under the drill 70 Y
at the time of painting the corn. On
thin, sandy soils probably two side ao-
plications may be desirable which
would carry the amount applied per
acre up to 700 pounds.
The boys selected their seed corn
with greater care than has been prac-
ticed in the past. For the most part
they used prolific varieties and tested

nate so as to insure uniform stand
This is a very essential matter AS d
rule The corn was planted in rows
about four feet apart Shallow surface
cultivation was given throughout the
growing season and cultivation was
persisted in as late as possible. No
mPFaCticable methods were employed
~ the Toys, yet if the same care ami
attention were given to the cultivation
of all the corn grown throughout the
state as was exercised by the boys on
their acre plats, the yield would be ma
terially increased, and the amount of
ground necessary to produce it next
year reduced by one-half There is no
reason why Georgia should not grow
all the corn she needs here at home,
and do it at a good profit and at a saw

100000 TO EDUCATE
POOR GEORGIA GIRLS
Berry School, at Rome, to Get Sum-
BeGHest in viii of Late Freeman
Shedd, of Lowell, Mass.

Boston, Mass, March 18.-In one Of
the most unique requests ever con-
tanned in a will, 100000 is left BY
Freeman Shedd, the Lowell million
aire, who died recently in Miami to
the Berry school, at Rome, Ga, for
the education of the daughters of poor
whites. This bequest, with several
others, contains the provision that
should Miss Mary Helles Shedd, his
daughter, who is now 40 years of age,
wed and have children, the estate is to
go to the offsprings.
Lowell friends of the daughter be-
lieve that she will not wed but will
devote her efforts to directing the
proper distribution of the $3,000,00O
estate to the schools, hospitals and
other institutions that her father
wishes to benefit
The city of Lowell, the Lowell Cen
eral hospital and Northfields seminary
which was formed by Dwight Moody,
are each to receive 100000 if grand
children are not born.

To the American, particularly to
whom building one hundred years
old is worthy of reverence in his own
country, the fascination of picnicing
under the shadow of four-thousand-
year-old monument, of snap-shotting
with a 1912 camera all that remains
of civilization of which we can have
but the remotest conception, seldom
fails in it's appeal to all that is ro-
mantle, all that is poetic in his being.
No one who possesses even a remnant
of an imagination, no one who has
his color sense developed in the small
est degree can fail to respond to this
ancient country, so new in its beauty,
so old in its history. How could one
feel other than significant, other than
reverent, before such wonders as the
great rock temples of Abu Simbel, at
the foot of which man looks little
more important than the ants which
build their tiny houses only to have
them trampled under foot when COM
pleted? And what could express with
greater significance the meeting of
the old and the new civilization than
the sight of a brown-skinned native,
mounted on his camel watching an
express de luxe as it whizzes by with
speed that is still almost incredible
to his Egyptian eyes?
