How a Soil Analysis Helps Farmer

money in purchasing this needless ele-
ment of fertilizer, if he does not know
that it is not needed. In peat and re-
claimed lands there Is a supernatural
ance of nitrogen, as rule, yet If fer
tilizer is applied without knowledge
of this fact, the probabilities are that
the usual amount of nitrogen would be
applied and nitrogen is quite expen-
sive.
soil analysis is needful also in
helping the farmer to determine not
only how much plant food is present
in the soil, but about how much more
is necessary to stimulate and make
available to a maximum degree that
which exists in the soil. Where there
are marked deficiencies in any one OF
the elements, it is essential to know
in what proportion fertilizing elements
should be applied to develop a given
crop to the fullest extent.
Knowing the deficiencies of a soil,
a system of rotations can be applied
calculated to conserve and build up
the fertility A series of tests are be-
ing made with various crops on vari-
GUS types of soil in the state, under
the direction of the College, to deter
mine the limiting factors in developing
the full plant food value of these soils.
Naturally it will take time, but once de-
termined there should be valuable in
formation at the command of the

Beef Cattle in South Georgia

on an investment of 1884.
No charge was made for labor, the
farmer doing the feeding, taking the
manure for the labor. Nor was any
charge made for oats straw, this be-
ing donated by the farmer who previ-
ously had burned it to get it out of his
way.
The cost for marketing was unus-
ually high, and ordinarily most of this
cost could be eliminated by selling to
nearer markets. Had all the feeders
been steers the profits would have
been greater, % steers having sold for
an average of s42.50 per head, while
seven cows and two stays averaged
$14.73 less per head. The loss of one
steer cut profits, but such loss might
be said to be representative and to
be considered when undertaking such
an enterprise.
With cotton seed meal selling from
to 10 per cent less than last year
and cattle bringing from 10 to 25 per
cent higher prices, how can you keep
from building a silo and getting into
the business of beef raising?
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-11-09

To demonstrate the advantages in
beef production under Georgia condi-
lions and to determine what profits
could be reasonably expected, 80 ma
tive cattle were bought, dehorned and
cleaned of ticks. On silage, cotton
seed meal and oat straw the cattle
were fed for 100 days and were then
sold for beef at Richmond, Va. The
profits on the investment were 26 per
cent, or at the rate of 70 per cent per
annum. The 33 cattle were bought for
1884. They were fed seven tons of
cotton seed meal bought at $26.93 per
ton, making the cost of this item of
food $1SS.5O Fifty-three tons of sill
age costing 50 per ton made another
item cost $1O6. 1t cost $5.11 per head
to market the cattle, which covers
freight, feed in transit, weighing, tele-
grams and commission.
Twenty-Five head of the cattle
brought $913.12, nine brought $250.41,
one proved to be with calf and sold
for $3.50, one died and the hide
brought $500. The actual net profit
was $215S6, made in only 100 days

CYPRESS SHIPPERS
PROTEST RATES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov, 9.-The
Interstate Commerce commission to-
day began hearings on a petition re
Gently filed with that body, asking that
existing freight rates on cypress
lumber shipments from Florida to
eastern points and northern destina-
tons, be reduced.
The rates now in force have been at
tackled by a Florida concern engaged
in cutting out a mammoth cypress
swamp near Pensacola. The charge is
made by the petitioning company that
existing rates are both discriminatory
and excessive, and the commission is
asked to establish a new tariff gov
erning this traffic.
Yellow pine shipments, the petition
ers allege are being handled by car
riers at lower rates than are charged
for cypress shipments, while the
two commodities are practically the
same material.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-Perhaps it is the
continued flood of authentic" good
news, perhaps it is that the Partisan
really can not remain downhearted for
more than sixty days at a stretch, but,
in spite of the leaves which are begin
ming to flutter down, Paris has been
more cheerful these last few days. No
one knows who has lost brother, or
husband, or son at the front. Every
body knows they have surely lost some
one. The little flower seller at the
Etone has sixty-seven relations fight
ing. AS a precaution, and with a
brave smile, the Partisan "bourgeoisie"
has begun to don black. When the
news comes it will be less of shock.
1t is at night that the stranger notices
the difference-no one about after
1920; almost impossible to get cab,
even in the main thoroughfares, and
Paris apparently is dead.
No one has much zest for anything.
The Tuileries Gardens and the Champs
Elysees are deserted. The "bateaux>
mouches," which ply on the Seine to
those riverside resorts so beloved of
the Partisan, slid up and down today
almost empty. What the Partisan, or
rather Parisienne, is bent on just now
is knitting. 1t is not worth reading
anything except the official "commun-
iques," and they are so short and
convey so little that it is task quick
ly done. Besides, who cares for these
places with the melodious but COM
pletely unpronounceable names in
Galicia, over which the "communique"
does wax slightly more loquacious?
So everybody knits, in the Bots de
Boulogne, in the restaurants, such OF
them as are still open, at home. The
color does not apparently much mat
ter. l have seen some weird shades of
pink and blue which it would surely
make self-respecting soldier blush to
wear. But the intention is excellent,
and doubtless in time the shades will
tone down into the dull monochrome
of brown. So much wool has been con-
sumed these last few days by willing
fingers that prices have risen. Besides,
the great wool-combing factory of Hull
ton, at Reims, has been practically de-
stroyed by shells.
Newspapers Tell How to Knit.
The Journal des Debats has a charm
ing article describing the rush to knit
or crochet something for those in the

jersey-a long one, to cover the front,
the back and the neck; three skeins
and three afternoons. Beginners are

Have you stopped to think abou

Have you stopped to think about the fact that there has been no cry of "graft, graft!' in connection with, the construction of the Pana- ma Canal? There has been no such cry for the simple reason that there has been no graft. Contrary to the old opinion that there can be no government work without graft, this greatest task of the cen tury has been completed with an economy and efficiency unequaled in large private enterprises. The completing of the canal marks the beginning of new era in govern 'nent work. Modern Uncle Sam has proved his efficiency in the construction of a great public utility and is. now demonstrating his eff ciency in operation. Already he has n ade a railroad across the Isthmus pay much better than pri- vate enterprise did previouly, and this against great odds. The com ing century will see many more public utilities operated by the government, and we now have every reason to bel. eve that such utilities will be operated with greater efficiency than under pri- vate control.

would be just half the usual amount of business, as a res ult. This would mean the closing down of half the industries of the United $ tates if it were followed out for a long enough time to be felt the country over. Af result, only half of the luborers of the united state would ie employed. What a monstrous calamity that would bring about!
 As matter of fact people are not going to cut expenditures by cue half while they can help it, no matter what newspapers may urge, and for that reason such a tremen- dous calamity a5 that suggested will not occur. There may be a sufficient curtailing of expondi- lures, however, to bring about a period of severe depression. The checking of exports due to the dangers of commerce at present has already had a somewhat dead ening effect upon industry, but the fright that will accompany this and that may be raised in people, minds by newspaper scares will probably have more disasterous effect upon industry than this checking of foreign commerce.
 If people would spend more in times of depression and less dur ing prosperity booms, the unwise expenditures and unhealthy extra vagances of periods of over pros perity would be done away with; periods with tendency to depres- slon would experience a steady consumption, and panic and hard times would end.
 If people during the present depression due to the war, would do theil best to keep their con- sumption up to normal and refrain from over expenditures during the succeeding period of prosperity, much of the needless unemploy- ment and suffering that now theat- ems might be avoided.

Warding Off Hard Times

A great deal has been said in different papers lately, about the need of people economizing now in order to be prepared for the high prices, unemployment and hard times that are to result from the European war. People have b; en advised to cut their expenses where ever possible and 10 lay up pro- visions of the kind that are likely to experience the greatest increase in price. Few seem to have grasp ed the impossibility eff evading an industrial catastrophe by the people teasing to spend money.
 Suppose that all the people of the United States, during the next few months, should spend only ilaif their usual amount. There
