Mutual Girl at the Lion

The eighteenth installment of the
Our Mutual Girl" is shown at the
Lion theater today, along with three
other excellent reels. There is one
thing about the Mutual Girl" series
that differs from any other picture,
and that is that prominent people
shown in the different numbers are
real and not impersonated. A two
reel Majestic Offering today will be
greatly enjoyed. 1t is called "A Dia-
mond in the Rough" and features
Eugene Palette and Miriam Cooper
1t contains many gripping scenes
which will hold the close attention of
the audience.

Mr.. Hayden telegraphed that the

could be scattered on the border from

Governor Hunt in his message said
that the sheriff of Santa CruZ county,
at Nogales, was sending out three
armed posses in automobiles to pro-
tect the border and that there was two
militia companies in the field at Yuma
a company at Douglas under waiting
orders and more militia under wait

er or a later the will become unprofl-
able, as it is Impossible for them TO
obtain the maximum development in
such soils.
The question is sometimes asked.
What is mean by good scil@" From
the chemical point OF view we would
make the following classification,
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1914-04-28

Poo soils contain about 10 per cent
of potash, .05 per cen phosphoric
acid, 2 per cent lime, .05 per cent
nitrogen. Productive soils: rs per
cen potash, L per cent phosphOriC
acid, 5 per cent lime, L per cent nit
rogen. Excellent soils: .35 per cent
potash, .25 per cent phosphoric acid.
10 per cent lime. 2 per cent nitrogen.
From the physical point of view it
is harder to say what constitutes the
best soil, but there are certain roper
ties that We find desirable. First, it
should be deep, the deeper the better.
1t Should contain enough sand and
gravel to allow one to till it easily. 1t
should nave good drainage. 1t should
contain enough clay to make it d good
moisture and plant food retainer. and
should contain at least 2 per ent
humus.
Nitrogen is an element which
teaches very easily from the soil and
this explains to a large degree the
small percentage found in some soils.
Each grower must, to a certain degree
study his own soil from a chemical
standpoint by experimenting on "a
small scale with commercial fertili-
zers, cover crops, etc. The fact that
a soil runs deficient in a certain ele-
ment after all is not a cry great
drawback, as it is comparatively easy,
in the majority of cases, to supply the
lacking element; but the physical con
dition of the soil is indeed very i'm
portant as it is hard to change il ma
terially. While a heavy soil can be
made lighter by the addition of hui
mus and careful methods of handling,
and a light soil made more compact
by the addition of humus, aside from
this the physical condition ear not be
changed. Where irrigation is prac-
tiCed, by growing cover crops and
supplying artificial moisture, many
commonly supposed Door soils can be
made to give good returns
To no small degree the success O
orcharding depends upon good cult
walton and proper handling of the soil
To " healthy plant growth, a Ger
tain amount Of oxygen must be in tn
soil. This oxygen is formed in tn
air. Again, good preparation should
deepen the soil, increasing the weed
ing surface, all the more encouraging
roots to strike deeply and bringin,
the moisture up from h water table

speaker showed how by proper feed
ing at the proper time young cattle
may be pushed, and two-year-olds be
made to weigh practically as much as
