After years of intelligent toll, when
P. J. A. Berckmans OF Augusta, Ga ,
was gathered 70 his fathers, he left
behind him an enviable reputation as
a nost useful citizen. as noted horti-
culturist, a great nursury business,
and three sons to carry on the work he
had inaugurated-a business which
had its customers in every civilized
land, for the Berckmans nursery pro-
ducts were above all reliable and just
what the firm declared them to be.
There was no guess work about any
thing they sold. They knew the posi-
bilities and the limitations of every
tree, shrub or plant that went forth
from their establishment.
The BUSINESS tarted by the revered
P.J A. Berckmars has far outgrown
the business left by him. In addition
the activities of the sens have caused
them to branch QUO in several other
directions. and among their ventures
is fifteen hundred acre farm at May.
field, half OF which is given over to
peach orchards and the other half to
general farming.
This farm. 1.-The Oaks" located at
Mayfeld in Hancock county, Ca,
is being brought up to high produc-
tiveness through the application OF
the underlying principles of the main.
tenance of soil fertility, and>a record
oas crop grown this year on sandy
land under drought conditions has
pointed so conclusively to the money
value OF the incubation of legumes
that this year the Berckmans Brothers
are using more than 300 acres OF in
oculating material on cow peas alone.
In discussing the remarkable yield
of oats. Mr.. P. J. a. Berckmans, Jr.,
said:
"For years we have grown cow peas
with what we believed to be success.
as a means of increasing the fertility
of the land as we'll as for the excellent
forage the crop provides. Some years
ago we began testing out commercial
bacteria cultures for the incubation
of hairy vetch, planted along wife oats,
and some OF them proved decidedly
successful, while the hay was easily
the best ever fed on our place. This
test was made on the orchard section
of The Oaks, and it was observed bv all
that the mules on that psrt of the plan
tation were infner condition than on
the farm section, where mixed grain
and forage were fed. Crops grew bet
ter after the inoculated vetch, shown 6
the increase in nitrates and the gen.
eral improvement of the soils.
''In the summer OF 1914, the repre-
sentative of the Earp-Thomas Farmo-
germ Company called on US and salts
fed US that the incubation of cow
peas would be profitable. The repre-
sentative told US of people we knew
who had got as much as 100 per cent.
increase in their 'sats and other crops
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1915-06-23

after COW peas inoculated with his cul-
ture. No claim that we would get such
an increase was made, and we were led
to believe that an increase OF 35 to so
per cent. would be what we should
expect.
I'VE accordingly bought 1S5 acres
of Farmogerm for cow peas and as a
result grew the best crop Of cow pers
ever seen at THE Oaks'-vigorous
plants, so dark green they were almost
black. We cut them of and planted
oats on part OF the land after the in
oculated cow peas, and oats on section
where cow ipeas without inoculation
were grown. In all respects the pre-
paration and fertilization of the two
were the same.
During the prolonged drought this
spring the oats after the inoculated
COW peas continued to grow and mature
properly. The oats after the COW peas
continued to grow and mature properly.
The oats after the cow peas without
incubation ceased to grow and did not
head satisfactorily. You could tell to
the row where the soil had been inocu-
lated, so much more vigorous were the
oats. tThe results? We harvested
three times as many oats from the land that
had been inoculated for cow peas as we did
where the COW peas were grown without in
oculatio1. The effect was marvellous.
The cost was trifling, about 81 per acre
and for this small expenditure we got
big5er and better crop of cow peas than
we had ever grown before, and 200
per cent increase in our oats.
"We have demonstrated that our
soils need organic matted and nitrogen
and fully appreciate the benefit OF the
incubation OF COW peas with FARMO-
GERM, as we as vetch, on poor soils.
You should have seen the unpromising
character of the soil where we used the
FARMOGERM to understand fully the
difference in the two crops. This fetd
we are,planning to lime and thus re-
alize the fullest benefit from the inocu-
lation. That fields snew well inocu-
lated, but we will plant it to cowpeas
again to get the full benefit OF last
years incubation. In actual return,
fIerreI either as an investment OF an ex-
pense, no money has ever been expended BY
rs that gave such large profit as the money
spent for the 135 acres Of Farmogerm.
"There IS no guess work in this
statement. We know it, because we
keep books on every crop grown on
our farms.
"We have now had the best proof
that it pays to inoculate cow peas, and
We shall use incubation wherever we
can plant cow peas this;year to increase
permanently the fertilitGsof lour lands.
When we have the whole place inocu-
lated, we are sure our bill for fertiliz zers
will be cut to fraction Of the present
expense, and that we will get full ben
eft from all fertilizer used-something
that IS impossible unless there is plenty
OF organic matter in the soil. We are

Church IN SPLEN-

EXCELLENT REPORT MADE AT
THE CONGREGATIONS MEET
ING - MEMBERSHIP SHOWS A
LARGE GROWTH.

The annual meeting of the congre-
CATION of the First Presbyterian
church was held in the parlors of the
church on Tuesday evening, Thomas
Golfer presiding. Treasurer Strom-
vold's report of the receipts and dis
bursements during the year ending
Nov. 1 shows that the financial affairs
Of the church are in highly crafty
ing condition. The receipts for the
year were $5,671.95, of which amount
the Ladies' Aid and the Progressive
Club contributed nearly $500, which
indicates the efficient work of these
auxiliary organizations. During the
year a beautiful pipe organ was in
stalled, representing an expenditure of
$4,000, and balcony built in the body
Of the church, for the accommodation
Of the rapidly growing audiences at
tracted by Rev. Erickson's eloquence
and personality. This improvement
cost from 5000 to $500.
During the pastorate Of Mr.. Erick-
son, covering period of five years,
more than $4,000 has been raised to
cancel the church's indebtedness and
in making improvements. In addition
to this the current expenses have been
met, which represent for like period
close to $4,000 more.
Rev. Erickson was highly compli-
rnented by the various members of the
congregation for the efficient manner
in which he has looked after the in
terests of the church during his adj
rninistration, during which time the
church has enjoyed splendid growth,

the membership having increased
from 1872 to 225.
The Sunday school of the First
Presbyterian church is now one of the
largest organizations of this charac-
ter in the state, the enrolment num-,
bering over 500. The Teachers Train
ing class, which is under the immedi-
ate supervision of the pastor, is be-
coming noted for the splendid train
ing it provides the teachers in charge
of the various departments of the
school. To DR.. A. D. Mcdaniel be-
longs the credit of organizing the
school along the most modern and
progressive lines.
The membership of the First Pres
byterian have reason to be proud of
the splendid growth and the prosper
Gus condition of their organization,
As an evidence of the fact that Rev.
Erickson's services be appreciated in
a substantial form, the congregation
voted to increase his salary from ST.
800 to $4,000.
