NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT.
Greatest Possible Results From Manure
Of Great Interest to Our Farmers.

The farmers of this county, in COM
mon with those of every other county
in the state, are spending large sums
each year for commercial fertilizer.
There is little doubt that a consider
able portion of it is not used to the
best advantage and for that reason
there is large element of waste.
But that is not the only point at
which there is large waste going on
all the time. We know man in this
county who has at this time more than
fifty wagon loads of good stable ma
nure in his barn and that man has been
buying commercial fertilizer for his
crops and letting the manure remain in
his barn.
We recently asked him why he did
that and he replied in substance, that
he did not have time to haul the ma
nure out and that because it is under
shelter it is there all right and can be
used later without loss.
MANURE LOSES HEAVILY.
According to recent experiments of
the Ohio experiment station, it is not
true that his manure is not wasting or
losing. The Ohio experiment station
has found that there is no practical
difference in the plant food value of
fresh and well rotted manure. But
that is not all they learned. They
found that it takes two tons of fresh
manure to make one ton of well rotted
manure. On that basis the man who
neglects to get his manure out on the
land as rapidly as possible loses vary
ing portion of 1T up to one-half.
That means that the way to get the
largest possible returns for the manure
is to get it on the ground as fast as it
is made. Those who neglect this lose
a large part of the plant food of their
manure.

AGRICULTURAL MEETINGS.
Three Held in Different Parts Of Coun-
ty and Well Attended.

Prof. f. s. Chance held three agri-
cultural demonstration meetings last
week at different points over the coun.
ty, which were we'll attended, there be-
ing rs to 100 farmers present as well
as few ladies who Prof. Chance was
much pleased to see take so much in
terest in the work.
The first meeting was held on the
farm of D. E. Handy. in the Hebberts-
burg neighborhood. Mr.. Handy had
his field of corn IN good condition and
quite number of neighbor farmers
were present. They were much sur
prised to find that the corn roots extern
ded to the second row when the corn
was only knee high.
On the farm of Perry Boyer, Lam
tana, there is demonstration of corn
where rye and clover were turned un-
der The land was plowed and
thoroughly disced in the spring. Corn
is looking good and promises an excel
lent crop. Mr.. Boyer has good stand,
which not all farmers succeeded in get
ting this season.
On the farm of W. K. Burgess,
Winesap, there is corn demonstra-
tion.' A grass sod was turned in the
spring. Root worms have given some
trouble, but indications are favorable
for a good yield.
d. 7. Hardin, district agent for this
section, assisted IN the first two meet
ings.

WAR MUNITIONS
Immense Orders Place Brings Streak
Of Prosperity in u. S.

Commenting on the revival of busi
ness in the steel industry, the basic,
industry of the country, the New York
) World notes that "its mills were work.
ing at only about 40 per cent of capac-
ity five months ago. At that time
the Democrats were vigorously deny
ing the existence of any depression.
Now the mills are working at 80 per
cent of capacity and the World re-
marks: 1.-The so-called war orders
play only small part In this revival.
Export business is about fifth of the
total industry, and much of that is out
side the munitions demand"
If the World bases its assertion on
export figures, it is utterly fallacious.
War orders made Bethlehem Steel
jump to 162. That company now has
orders for 5000 field guns from the
English war office, and has orders up
to date for 500, 900, 900 worth of ma
terial, and more coming.
War orders justified Hudson Maxim's
statement that "every steel and pow
der company in the country is building
additional plants.
War orders have given the Pressed
Steel Car Company $50, 600, 900 con-
tract for the delivery of shrapnel shell
to Russia.
The Carnegie Steel Company has one
order for 18, 900 tons of steel bars from
one company which is engaged in ma
Ginning shells.
Cleveland and Pittsburgh firms are
figuring on 1856, 600 tons of steel to be
used IN the manufacture of shells.
Steel bars, rails. pig iron, ETC.. sold
by the steel companies to other manu-
featuring companies to be made up in
to munitions Of war will not show up
as exports. They are the raw material
of sbrapnel, shell, gun carriages and
guns, and all the thunderbolts Of war.
If the United States continues to be
the commissariat of the warning ma
tions, even the peaceful plouhgshare
will be affected by war orders and its
sale increased that new lands may be
prepared for the sower.
1t has been estimated that foodstuffs
and other war supplies shipped to the
allies since the opening of the war ag-
gregate $1,000, 100000, and so far as
guns and ammunition are concerned
the real shipments have scarcely be-
gun. This entails the movement of
huge shipments of freight to the sea-
board, and that means large additional
orders for steel rails for trackage.
They are not exported, but their sale
was due to war orders.
The efforts of the World, and pro-
ponents of the Democracy in general,
to make people believe that the de-
preston in the United States, which set
in months before the war in Europe
commenced, was due to the war, and,
on the other hand, to convince them
that the revival of industry in the last
few months is due to anything but the
war is TOO ridiculous for serious con-
sideration.

MANY FAILED.

Out of the a who took the recent
examinations for certificates to teach
81 failed to receive certificates in this
county. In Morgan county the whole
number of 70 failed. In many coun-
ties more than half failed.
The feeling is growing that the plan
is a colossal failure for the simple reas-
on that those who examine the papers
know nothing about the applicant and
for that reason cannot possibly estl-
mate their ability to impart informa-
tion or instruct.

1t will be noticed that we allowed
nothing for the rye sowed, the seed
corn or the cane and pea seed. 1t will
also be noticed that we have made no
estimate of the value of the fodder
from the corn or the pasture from the
rye. We also estimated the potatoes
at only rs cents a bushel, which was a
conservative price. We think the
things we failed to mention will come
very close to offsetting each other and
for that reason our figures are very
close. Corn has been selling here
right around $1.00 bushel for several
years.
GRAIN GROWING PROFITABLE.
On the basis Of the figures just
shown, there Is no doubt that farmers
living close to the railroad can we'll
afford to ship manure from Nashville
and grow corn for the market at a very
good profit. However, every one feels
that corn growing is not the most
profitable thing for our farmers, but
this does show that our farmers can
grow their corn much cheaper than
they can buy it. 1t makes cattle rails
ing more profitable than when grain is
purchased.
LAST YEAR.
1t will be remembered that on the
Cline farm last year there was grown
1872 bushels of corn on a single acre,
122 bushels on an adjoining acre and 81
1-2 bushels on three-fourth of an acre.
The land employed wasl the first
instance little better than the aver
age acre of the county. but no great
sight better.

inches apart, but 1t developed that
they are nearly II inches apart. The
stand while good is not perfect one
by any means.
The ground was thoroughly prepared
by narrowing and discing before plant
ing. At the time of planting 500
pounds of corn fertilizer was sown
broadcast and worked into the soil.
The same number of pounds of the
same kind of fertilizer was used in the
row, thoroughly mixed with the soil.
This 1000 pounds of fertilizer cost
$3.50. May II, 200 pounds of nitrate
of soda was broadcasted and plowed in ;
it cost $6. 50, making total fertilizer
used to date for this year of $4,000.
This corn now stands fully eight feet
high, has very heavy stalk, is uni
form on the ground. The famous
Bats prolific corn was used tor seed
and with favorable conditions IT'S BUSH
els is not an excessive yield to expect.
ROWS AND STALKS TO ROW.
The ground has been measured and
the e are 81 rows 256 feet long and
contain an average of 1873 stalks to the
row, which gives total of II, 1853 stalks
on the acre. Figuring on the basis of
only II, 900 stalks on the acre and an
verage of two ears to the stalk, which
is not an unreasonable yield by any
means for prolific corn, there would
be $4,000 ears. Counting $50 ears to
the bushel the acre will yield $50 BUSH
els lacking only so ears and it is very
safe to calculate that the 163 stalks
that are left out of the calculation will
more than supply that so ears.
ISlT PROFITABLE?
Now we come to the vital point: Is
1T profitable? Let's see. To decide
we will take the expense and products
for two years past and fair estimate
ofthe crop this year:

An interesting chemical paint which
has the property OF intercepting the
heat rays Of the, sun, has recently
been put on the market by German
concern. 1t may be applied to tin,
corrugated iron, slate or glass. indeed,
any material used in the roofing Of
buildings, and by Its peculiar quality
leaves the room beneath the roof com.
paratively cool. II is stated that the
temperature OF workrooms may be re-
duced from is to 20 degrees Fahren-
heit, according to the surface which
can be covered, and the added eff
cheney of the workmen thus promoted
is direct and measurable gain. The
paint is light blue in color, so that, II
applied to glass, it does not appre-
ciably influence the tight. Its com
ponents are at present trade secret,
but the fact that many large electric
and manufacturing companies in Ger
many are regular users is cited as evi.
dence that it is practical.
