NECESSITY FOR DUST MULCH
Reduction Of Loss Of Water Through
Surface Evaporation Can Be
Economically Accomplished.

CBy r. T.. KEITT. South Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station.1
The common field crops require
from 300 to 500 pounds Of water for
each pound OF dry matter grown.
hence the necessity for reducing the
loss of water through surface evap-
Grafton. This can be most economical
ly accomplished by the maintenance
OF dust mulch.
A perfectly dry dust mulch does not
have to be very deep to be effective.
In practice 1t is found that the break
ing OF the first two or three inches of
surface soil forms an effective mulch.
| but sand mulches may be thinner than
clay mulches. The mulch should be
no deeper than is necessary for the re-
duction OF evaporation to minimum.
for the top soil is generally richer
than the lower soil and the thinner a
mulch can be made and maintained
effectively. the greater the root range
OF the plants.
The principle involved In the func-
t.oning OF a dust mulch is that the
capillary water Is drawn from soil
particle to soil particle by surface ten
sion until ii reaches the surface OF the
soil and Is evaporated. The plowing
of the surface to the depth already
: indicated. by means OF scrape or
sweep. disturbs the arrangement OF
: the soil particles and the disarranged
! particles blanket" the surface and
prevent the loss OF moisture 10 any
considerable extent.
II is necessary to renew the mulch
as soon as possible after each rain be-
cause dampening rearransos the par
ticles in such a way that capilarity
will be re-established.

NEED OF TRADE vNIoNIsM
Labor Forced to Il as = Measure of
Protection Against Aggression
p- Of Capital.

In the individual contract between
a powerful employer and single
workman the laborer secures the
worst CT the bargain. He Is progress
sively debased because Of wages in
sufficient to buy nourishing food; be.
cause Of hours of labor too long to
permit of sufficient rest, because OF
conditions Of work destructive Of
moral, mental and physical health;
and. finally. because Of danger from
accident and disease, which kill OF
the workingnan or prenaturely age
hin. The individual bargain or indi
vidual contract between employers
and workmen means that the condi.
tion Of the economically weakest man
in the industry Is often that which
the average man must accept. There
fore, there can be no permanent pros.
perity to the wage-earners, no real
and lasting progress. no consecutive
improvements in conditions until the
principle Is firmly and fully estab

ly in enterprises on large scale. the
settlement OF wages. hours Of labor

DOUBLE WORK BY SPREADER
While Harvest Is In Progress Wagon
Is Available for Hauling Crops
From the Fields.

Ordinarily the manure spreader Is
in use al seasons of the years when
the field work is not demanding at
teution. While the harvest is in
progress. it will be found idle; hence.
II is available for other work
In districts where field roots. such
as mangeIs. sugar. beets, or turnips
are grown, the manure spreader may
serve as wagon in transferring the
crop from the field to the root cellar
or pit.
A simple adjustment will enable the
operator to save considerable time, as
well as the task OF unloading with the
aid OF a shovel. The cylinder or
spreader is first removed from the
end OF the box. and suitable end
board is set in place, the latter being
held by an iron bar or rod.
When the load Is taken to the Gel.
lar. the end board can be lifted out
readily and the roots may be rolled
into the trap door merely by putting
on the crank which connects with the
apron shaft and turning by hand until
the entire lot has been discharged. 1t
REQUIRES only few moments to de-
liver the load .-r .a ..

enough to move the crop readily. this
diofliculty may be overcome by follow
ing the suggestion which has been
offered. 50

MUST GO TOGETHER
Labor and Capital in the Same
Harness.
Enormous Possibilities Of the situa-
tion Before the Country Should Be
Recognized by Employers
and Workers Alike.

Labor day is at hand, and it carries
suggestions to both labor and capital
of the greatest importance. Not since
the celebration was established, not
since labor first organized in this
country to advance and protect its in
terest, has q situation existed SO prom.
Using for all that American industry
and capital represent.
Leaders of all grades and kinds
leaders of labor. leaders Of capital.
leaders In politics-all see before this
country opportunities Of q magnitude
never presented before As they read
the times and tendencies. We arc
scheduled as people for activities on
await US. Old markets will be dc.
manded moro than they have been
receiving from US. A boom era for
America is coming.
It is to the interests of all that tho
opportunities be improved to the full.
But all must help. To get the proper
result there must be what the presi'
don't calls team work" Both labor
and capital must keep in trim and on
terms. They must pull together. 9th.
erwise, both, and all, will suffer loss.
Organized labor Is often .compli-
mented, and deserves the tribute paid.
1t has made its share of mistakes. In
not every case has it been fortunate
in its leadership.
But 1t has steadily ard successfully
resisted socialism, and worse, and
kept as its principal purpose the true
welfare of men who work with their
hands. It has contributed to the es
tablishment Of homes, to the filling OF
savings banks. and to an improved
general condition Of those needing tn
be buoyed and encouraged in the
struggle Of life.
We start, then. on this new Journey
with labor in good fettle, strong in
numbers, likewise in capital, though
now inactive, abundant for the annual
occasion. Both factors in the equa
tion are equal to their duties. and
have only to put their shoulders to
the wheel in good earnest and KEEP
steadily en- the push.
There may be some exsggeraticn in
the picture we are all studying. There
may not be in store for us all now
promised. Europe will recover frcEl
her prostration and losses, and then
we shall confront our old rivals again
And when in condition they are net
easily handled.
But, allowing for that, the ir,nedi
ate future in America should show
two wheels turning where one has
hitherto turned, two pay envelopes
we'll filled. handed out where only one
has hitherto found Its owner, and divi
dends/on Investments large. satisfying
