vived the drouth of this year will add
largely to the wheat acreage. Much
of the stubble land is again being
sown to wheat. Then the dry wealth
er has matured the corn crop and a
great deal of the grain is being gath
cred and the land prepared for wheat.
Much corn in the county has been
cut and placed in shocks and this land
is being sown to the great cereal.
Wheat following corn after the drouth
of 1913 was so successful, making
the best yields ever known in the
county, the farmers will try again
this season and most of the corn land
of the county will be sown in wheat.
Another indication of the large
acreage is the demand for drills. The
hardware and implement merchants
of the city report splendid trade in
wheat drills and other machinery
used in the wheat crop.

DIR. FITZGERALD
MAY BE CALLED
TEXAN LIKELY TO SUCCEED DR..
BIRkETT At GARDEN STREET
CHURCH.

It Is not improbable that the con-
gregation of the Garden street Pres
byterian church, U. s. A, will call
Rev. ]. P. Fitzgerald, of Texas, to
the pastorate made vacant by the res
ignation of Rev. F. E. Birkett. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Fitzgerald will
come on the invitation of the official
board of the church to preach during
the latter portion of the month. Al
the time a meeting of the congrega
ton and a call to him is altogether
likely.
1t will be recalled that DR.. Fitzger
aid recently held a most successful
meeting at the Central Presbyterian
church near Culleoka. He made q
splendid impression upon the people
of that section. He is an able and

A. N. AKIN WINS
BALTIMORE RACE
PROOF THAT THERE is SOME
THING IN A NAME SOME
TIMES.

Some one has asked What is
there in a name?" If this question
were propounded to Raleigh P. Dod-
son, of this city, he would say that
there is whole lot, especially if it
is after the right person. AS proof
of it, he cites the case of the best
race horse in his stable, A. N. Akin,
a two year old colt, which is named
after Maj. A. N. Akin, the popular
clerk and master of the chancery
court. Like his namesake, the colt
has shown his feet to the field in
nearly every race in which he has
started this year.
His latest victory was at Baltimore
Wednesday, when he captured the
long end Of the purse for two year
olds at six furlongs. He won in a
gallop.

The trial of Dan Gray, charged with
bootlegging in the colored Odd Eel

day afternoon by lively tilt in Esq.
Alexander's court between two prom
inent members of the local bar.
Friends interviewed and stopped any
serious difficulty.
The quarrel was brought on by the
charge of the attorney for Gray that
the states solicitor was leading a
witness. This was denied by the lat
ter. Hot words passed and the
states attorney made dive for his
opponent. Before a blow could be
struck, friends of both Of them inter
ened and prevented any further
fight.
After the witnesses for the state
had been heard and seventeen half
pint bottles Of liquor and beer had
been placed on exhibition, the de-
PENDANT waived examination and was
bound over to the grand jury.

Gerow-Weber Wedding.

Coming as the elimination of a
beautiful romance that had its in
ception last spring when the groom
came to Columbia Military Academy
as assistant commandant of cadets,
Miss Margaret Weber was married
in Birmingham Saturday afternoon at
o'clock to Major Lee Saunders
Gerow.
The wedding was kept a profound
secret until after the happy couple
had left on the train Saturday morn
ing, as they desired to have a quiet
marriage. They were welded at the
home of friend in Birmingham. The
wedding was with the entire consent
of the parents of the bride. although
the date of it was kept secret.
The bride, who is the daughter OF
Col and Mrs. H. c. Weber, is one of
the most attractive and cultivated
young ladies of the city, and has
made host OF friends during her So
cial career. She is also prominent
in the social circles of Nashville,
where her early life was spent
Major Gerow has been assistant
comandant of cadets at the Military
Academy since last spring. He is a
graduate of the Virginia Military In
stitute, and gentleman of most
pleasing address. During his brief
stay in the city, he has made large
number of friends among the young
er social set.
Major and Mrs. Gerow, after a
short Southern trip, will be at the
Military Academy after Wednesday.

These things are mentioned in order
to show the factors that are valuable in
determining the crops adapted to soil,
and help indicate the fertilizer needs.
The soil analyses are valuable, but their
value is too often overestimated.
Classification Of Soils.
Soils are classified into groups ac-
eording to the amount of the different
sized particles present. A clay soil has
a high percentage of clay; sandy soil
has high percentage of sand, and so
on through the different classes and
subclasses. 1t is of value to know the
percentage of the different sized parti-
eles present so we can classify the
soils; we know in general way that
certain crops are adapted to certain
types of soil.
A chemical analysis gives the total
amounts of the plant food elements
present in too small amounts. 1t is
known that certain amount of each
element is present in fertile soils, so we
|can say from a chemical analysis that
such fertilizer would probably give
good results. This, however, is not an
assured fact. Some soils may be very
rich in certain element, but this ele-
ment may become available to the plant
so slowly that an application of fer
tilizer carrying this element may give
very profitable returns.
Again, a chemical analysis may show
that soil is below normal in certain
element. Through cultivation and
proper methods of handling, this ele-
ment may become available to the plant
as rapidly as it is necessary. 1t is
clear then that an application Of a fer
tilizcr carrying this element would give
negative results. SO we see that while
chemical analysis may give an indica.
tion of the soil needs, it is by no means
sure. Present methods of chemical
analysis do not give the amount of the
plant food in the soil that is available
to the plant They give the total
amount present, so from chemical
analysis it is possible to tell the sol
needs only in general way, and then
the results may not be what would be
expected.
Best Fertilizers to Use.
From the number of analyses that
have been made of western Washington
soils it is possible to indicate in gen.
eral way what fertilizers will probably
give the best results. The only way to
be positive as to what fertilizers will
pay is for person to try them on his
own, or similar soils, under similar con
ditions. This fact is generally reeog.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1914-08-15

nized, and in states where the most ex-
tensive soil surveys have been made,
actual field experiments are being car
ried on by the progressive farmers to
determine what fertilizers are paying
investments To get farmers and others
to carry on the same line of work in
western Washington this station will
prepare simple plans for q farmer,
grange, school or any interested organ
ization so that they can carry on useful
and instructive experiments with very
little trouble. These plans call for
half to an acre or more of ground, indi-
cate the crops to be grown, and the
kinds and amounts of fertilizers to use.
There are two general plans; one is de-
signed for one-year test, and the other
is for test covering several years.
The oneyear test win serve only to in
dicate what element if any is deficient
in the soil. The longer test will be of
greater value. To be of great value
fertility test should be continuous.
Op1mon OF an Expert.
An agricultural chemist is authority
for the statement that IS per cent or
more of fertilizer experiments give
negative results, so too much must not
be expected. Many of the most valu-
able experiments now being carried on
with fertilizers have given poor, and
often negative, results for the first
year, and often for the first three or
four years.
| The results of properly conducted ex-
lperiments carried ON in different parts
of western Washington would be of
great value to every district. We know
in general way that lime is needed in
NEST parts of western Washington, pot
ash is needed in the northern part,
phosphorus is the southern part, and
both in the middle western part. II is
not known, however, what amounts of
these different fertilizers will give
profitable returns. 1t is for this reason
that We favor the policy of the farmers
or some organization carrying on local
demonstration experiments.
| Full and complete plans for simple
Experiments will be furnished to any
one making application. The only "a
turns we ask is that results Of the ex-
Iperiments be furnished us. We viii be
Iglad to interpret results and to make
suggestions at any time called upon.
When it is desired that this station
furnish plans for fertilizer demonstra-
ticn experiments, the conditions of the
soil and plant growth should bo fully
given. The amount of ground and the
length of time that can be devoted to
the experiment should also be given.
This will help us to formulate plan
that will be best suited to the given
conditions.
