SOIL SURVEY IN GEORGIA.

From the Macon Telegraph.
According to a report in the Sa-
vannah Morning News two soil sur
vey experts, one from the State
School of Agriculture, at Athens, and
the other from the Department of
Agriculture, at Washington, have
Just completed a soil survey of TAFT
nall county, having formerly made
surveys in Terrell, Colquitt and Clay
counties.
They were very enthusiastic in
talking about the lands which they
have surveyed in Georgia. In TAFT
nall county, which is an average
wiregrass county, they declare, fifty
per cent of the soil is capable of
raising a bale of cotton to the acre.
Much of the land is excellent for
truck and extensive farming. In that
one county the surveyors found forty
different types of soil,
1t is one of the wise provisions of
nature that all plants do not require
the same kind of soil because different
plants need different kinds of food
which they get from the soil. Differ
entS soils possess different elements,
both in quantity and degree, and it
is the purpose of the soil surveys to
find out the chemical constituents of
the soil so as to show what plants
are best suited to the land and what
fertilizer is needed to get the best re-
suits in certain crops.
The saying which one often hears
about land being rich" or poor"
merely means that it possesses, or
does not possess, available plant
food. A knowledge of the chemistry
of the soil would help the farmer
solve the problem of pitching and di-
versifying his crops, the right sort
of diversity being the natural way
to strengthen and enrich the soil.
Out in Kansas the chemist of the
State Experiment Station is warming
the farmers against neglect of soil
study and the application of a farm
ing system that will keep the soil in
possession of the plant food which
is needed to bring the best results.
He says: In the early history of
Kansas no attention was paid to the
composition of its soils except to
boast of their ineXhaustible fertility.
(HOw we'll do these remarks fit us!
The voice OF the chemist has been
lifted constantly, warning the people
that this idea of a fertility that is
practically limitless is a delus-
ion that can lead only to squandering
of our natural resources, and to leav-
ing posterity handicapped in the
struggle for existence
The trouble with much of the soil
in Georgia is that it is not allowed
to rest, but is compelled to produce
cotton crop year after year without
a change Such a system of farming
is as foolish as feeding a horse, year
in and year out, on single diet with
never change. 1t is like a man
starting out to live by bread alone.
The soil surveys that have been
made in Georgia will be Of much val
ue if they create a more earnest de-
termination on the part of the farm
ers TO apply the remedy for soil dete-
rioration-which is diversity of
crops. the planting of other crops be-
sides cotton, and especially legumi-
nous crops, which restore plant food
to the soil and thus enriches it.
When the Master Builder put for
ty different kinds of soil in one cOun-
ty. as in Tattnall. He did not intend
it to be devoted to the growing of a
single crop.

THE UNLOCKED GATE.

And all my soul is glad
For the evening holds a glory
Which the morning never had.
Out far, far out across the plain
The mighty mountains rise,
A purple bar against the flood
OF glory from the skies.
The golden tide has conquered,
1t breaks above the crest,
And filings it's rays across the sky
Till all the land is blest.
Out, far, far out across the plain,
Within that rosy glow,

And ramparts that L know.

Of cleaning pearls set wide
The blessed gates that never close
Rolls out the sunset tide.
Out, far, far out across the plain,

Now faint, now clear, l catch the

A wondrous song of cheer.
o City of the unlocked gates!
Chime forth thy message clear.

A German supreme court has de-
fined the legal status of a kiss. 1t is
a lawful operation, so says the deci3-
ion, when the kiss is with the recip-
tents consent, or with reasonable as
surance of that consent, and when
done against the kissee's will cOnsti'
tutes an assault in law But CLEAN
of human interest shows in the wary
remark of the Judge that the resist
ance, to constitute an assault on
rights, to a kiss must be serious and
not merely to preserve appearances.
Even supreme courts retain some hui
man knowledge of the general con-
trariness of feminine nature.

The prospects for good roads ap-
preparation from this congress does
not seem promising. The country
will pretty generally approve the po-
sition taken by Senator Smith of
Georgia, namely, that it would be
better to have no appropriation at all
at this session than to begin making
appropriations for good roads with
so small an appropriation as 5,000,-
600. The Shackleford bill calls for
an appropriation of $4,000, 900, and
a subcommittee has reported in ia
vor of reducing it to $5,O00,O0O.

Making Hay By Steam

one end of the plant and 30 minutes
later emerges at the other end per-
fectly cured, ready for the barn or
bale press. In case of rain a canvas
cover insures arrival at the barn
without wetting. The farmer has
about given up his time-honored trip
to the 'grist MILL" and here comes
the hay mill. Frequent showers
make good grass, but much of this Is
ruined in the process of sun drying.
The steam dryer is independent OF
weather, and moreover turns out a
better product and can work nights.

much romance about watching the

belts.-EXchange

MERITS OF THE SUGAR BEET
CROP.

The sugar beet Is an excellent fea-
ture in a general farming scheme and
improves the soil. The explanation Of
the soil enrichment Is, that when the
other crops follow beets, the roots In
stead Of going down only to the depth
Of the plow, about six inches, find
the little enriched interstices left by
the decayed. minute beet roots. and
following them on down they draw
nutriment from twelve to fourteen In
ches of soil instead Of six inches-in
other words the culture Of oeets
doubles the soil depth, without neces-
stating any larger acreage.
In many. instances the Increased
productivity has been definitely proven
to range from IS to so per cent. Farm
ers in sixteen different states are now
realizing handsomely on sugar beet
crops, as, owing to the abnormal
drouth in all the sugar beet raising
countries of Europe Except Russia).
and the consequent shortage of $780,
600, 900 pounds in the supply Of sugar,
there is a demand that will tax our
domestic acreage.
Almost all Of the beet sugar COM
panies have been in tho habit of esti-
mating their profits on q 4 II cent rate
for sugar. On account of the serious
European shortage and the quick adj
vance In demand, many Of them have
and some of them as high as II cents.
which gives them an unexpected addi-
tional revenue Of over 40 per cent
