0F BACTERIA
 ON SOIL FERTILITY
Farmer May Do Much in Decreasing Cost of Fertilizer Bills By Conserv Ing Supply of Nitrogen.

The relation of soil bacteriology to soil fertility and the methods of pre- serving this fertility by means of these bacteria is gradually becoming matter of study
 A number of the experiment sta tioos are becoming interested in thls work and 1t Is time indeed that some thing was being done along this line.
 Expense to Farmer.
 Fifty millions of dollars is the annual fertilizer bill of American farmers Most of this is paid Dy far mers of twenty of the eastern states. as commercial fertilizers are used but very little, at present tn the middle west or western states. Nitrogen Is usually the element of plant food which is lacking, and this is also far more costly than any other elements of plant foods The supply of avail able nitrogen fertilizer, namely s0- dium nitrate is decreasing very rapid " while the demand is increasing. In this way the fertilizer bill of American farmers will in few years be some thing enormous unless some new method is developed.
 The principle part played by bac- teria in soil fertility is the gathering of this much needed nitrogen and con verting 1t into a form available for plant food
 Faotors Aiding Bacteria.
 Some of the factors which aid the bacteria in this work are: the addi. tion o< manure which adds not only plant food but large numbers of these bacteria; the addition of lime to cor, rect tho acidity in acAd soils as these bacteria cannot work in an acid me. dium; the proper stirring of the soil which gives oxygen and sufficient aeration, and lastly: the growing of lesume crops which Is perhaps the greatest aid of any of the above men. tioned factors in securing nitrogen for plant food.
 Tlms For Results.
 The greatest difficulty encountered in this work is the fact that it takes two or three years and series Of crops to show any marked improya- ment in a soil. but 1t is to be hoped that it will reach state of develop. ment where a soil will show marked improvement in one year and thus take the place of the nitrogenous com. mercial fertilizers

FAIR VIEW

It is dry in this part of the world. We think we would like it if it would rain some just now. i We'll, farmers are nearly thru with their work, that is, the corn and cotton. as far as blow ing is concerned. Crops are looking fine so far.
 Quite q lot of young folks here are going to Clarksville to work in the peach orchard. Hope they will have good success.
 This next Thursday night is the time set by Rev. J. s. Me- LendOn to start the holiness meeting at this place, but we do not know whether he is coming or not. We would be glad if some one will please let us know if he or some one else is coming.

THE BITTER ROT IN APPLES
Spraying With Bordeaux Mixture 10
 Effective Combative Method.

There 10 every reason to expect . bad year for bitter rot this year, and there is only one way to light 1t. Prun- ing Last winter would have helped Al so spraying about June 20 would have aided. But it Is now too late for either of these and should the dread. ed bitter rot appear in your orch ard 1t means either fight or cult.
 The way to fight is to spray at once with homemade Bordeaux mixture. then. as soon as the orchard has been covered 70 over it again with the same mixture. Everything depends upon getting a perfect coating of the mixture on the fruit early in the fiSht. Alter the first double spraying. . sia. gle spraying with the same mixture after two weeks will be necessary. Af. ter this it will depend upon the weather how much other spraying must be done.
 The Bordeaux mixture is made of bluestons ten pounds. good fresh lime. ten pounoa. water to make a hundred gallons, The mixture Is made by | special method that cannot be sx. plained here for want of space Full directions may be had by setinx Bul. letin ll4 and Circular 2l. from the Ex. pertinent station at Fayetteville.

INSPIRATION OF
 THE COUNTY FAIR
y Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural ds- partment of the county fair, you feel your soul uplifted and your life takes on new power-that Is the inspira- tion of the soil. You are overpow cred by the grandeur and magnificence of the scene-that Is the spirit of the harvest. You can hear the voice of nature calling you back to the soil that is opportunity knocking at your door. 1t is good chance to spend . quiet hour in contact with the purity and perfection of nature and to sweet en your life with its fragrance, elevate your ideals with its beauty and expand your imagination with it's power.
 These products as food are fit for the gods. and as an article of com merce they ought to bring tip-top prices on any market in the world.
 The products of the soil are teachers and preachers as we'll. Their beauty gives human life its first entertain ment. their perfection stirs the genius in artists; their purity furnishes mod. els for growth of character and thsir marvellous achievements excite our curiosity and we inquire into the won. derful process of nature.
 Before leaving the parlor of aericul- ture where nature Is parading in her most graceful attire and science is climbing the giddy heights of perfec- tion. let us pause and take retro spective view. How many of you know that after these wonderful prod. ucts are raised. they can seldom be marketed at profit7 Take the blush. ing Elberta, for example-they were fed to the hogs by the carload last year. The onion-the nations favor1te vegetable-eFery year rots by the acre in the Southwest for want of . market and as result hundreds of farmers have lost their homes. Cot ton-natures capitalist-often goSe begging on the market at less than cost of production.
 It Is great to wander through the exhibits while the band is playing Dixie" and boast of the marvellous fertility of the soil and pride ourselves on our ability to master science, but 1t Is also we'll to remember that there is a market side to agriculture that docs not reflect its hardships in the exhibits at county fair.
