SOIL STIMULANTS AND
HOW TO USE THEM
(By j. G. n cAmis, Division Of Exten.

(By j. &. n cAmiS, Division of EXten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Temporarily, soils may be made to
increase in production and at the same
time decrease in plant food In fact,
bumper crops of grains are always &C
companied by maximum outgo of fer
tility. There Is four times as mucn
plant food in hundred-bushel corn
crop as in one of twenty-five.
Intensive tillage, deep blowing, thor
ough cultivation, all increase crops,
because they make plant food avail
able, but they add no plant food to the
soil They help to take It away.
Fertilizers often enable crops to
take out more potash, phosphorus, and
nitrogen, particularly nitrogen, than the
fertilizers themselves contain. They
may increase production. but decrease
total plant food.
Two tons of limestone should be ap.
piled to the majority of acres in Ten
nessee. 1t places potash and phos-
phorus in reach of plants, but it adds
none to the soil 1t does not even add
nitrogen, unless legumes are intro.
duced to the cropping system to be
plowed under or fed and the manure
returned to the land.
These things are good intensive til.
lage, fertilizers, lime-all have place
in soil-building. Making plant food
available is the farmers business. So
is making soils durable and perma.
nent. Worn soils are the natural re-
suits of placing fertility in reach only
OF soil-robbing crops-grains, corn,
cotton, tobacco, etc. Soil-building crops
have not received their share of the
benefits.

plant foods available by al, possible
agencies, but they should be directed
first toward the increased production

FIRST ANALYSIS OF
 BARONIAL SQUAD
Scribe Says Baron Infield is Wea-Hae and Wallace Are Good Catchers and Pitching Staff is Excellen-Bar-
 Need First Stacker
By CHARLES W. GREER

should go over this average. Dick Rob- ertson, the remaining hurling contender. is good little pitcher, but he probably will find his way out of the Southern league if Molesworth casts about for waivers.
 In the catching department Molesworth Is well fortified for grilling campaign. George Hale is one of the best receivers that has been in Birmingham for many seasons, and Jack Wallace combines a fair receiving capacity with a wonderful hitting ability. G. Johnson, the other candidate for backstop honors, is burly youngster and of huge proportions. They say he has a cordial personality.
 The 1915 outfield of the champions is stronger than that of last season. Sloan, Stewart and Mcbride are all seasoned players and fast and heady fielders. Sloan will hit around the 300 mark. while his companions should go above 270.
 In the infield. however. Moley's club ad- mittedly is weak. The loss of Mcdonald and Marcan is keenly felt, this despite the fact that Hemingway, who has been named to succeed Eddie, is an artist of rare ability and in every way a worthy successor At third alone has Moley picked man capable Of taking care of his station after the manner of the man whom he displaces. Coombs at second shows the earmarks of wonderful player. He is the best natural hitter that has been seen here in a decade How ever, he is green and inexperienced, and he needs to work with veteran on either side, if he is going to bring his playing standard up to that of his hitting. Roy Ellam at short is the same dependable, hardworlzing, brainy infielder of other days, only he looks more so this season than ever Shortstop is well taken care of. At first it is different. Charlie Car roll is an excellent utility man. He plays first base just about like he would play second shortstop. He is an ideal man to fill in the gaps made by accidents or illness. But he is not the first sacker that Tex Covington was, nor does he rank with the average in the south. However, it is entirely likely that a new man will ee added later in the season and that Charles will again play a utility role.
 Weakness in the infied makes the Baron team a mystery. Hitting and pitching strength should keep them fighting around the first division, but changes are due in the inner defenses if Manager Moley is to have another club in the race for the gonfalon.

 There is little doubt that the Baron hurl- ing staff which remains practically intact is one of the strongest in the south this season. Practically every man is vet eran and is dependable.

By RICHARD F. LUssIER

After the first inning the Barons settled down yesterday afternoon nt Rickvood Field and with tight pitch ing by Omar Hardgrove managed to win over the team from keew"un academy by the score of 10 to \. After the first sfanza Hardgrove had the colIegiaus at his mercy, allowing onis two scratch hits.
 The game began yesterday afternoon as several other affairs lately with the Barons going on Zeppelin e&cursioh' The collegians managed to score three runs on one flukey hit. a pass ana three rank errors by Carroll and Clark. Ana throughout the game, although the Barons easily retired the college team from Wisconsin, misunderstandlngs ps Catcher Johnson of the signals of Roy Fllam and Cecil Coombs kept the Bar onial infield in hot water all the time. Finally Johnson was reproved for his stolid work by Molesworth and after that the game improved somewhat.
 In regards to the collegians they were very nervous and Calvo, 16-year-old Cuban. and a brother of the Washing ion outfelder, made no less than SIX miscues. The Keewatin team has had hard luck transforming through the south as they arrived in Birmingham with very little baseball paraphanalla, but the Barons came to their aid and loaned the Wisconsin boys gloves, balls l,afs

The farce began in the first inning when Himell tapped along the hrstpase line and Carroll allowed the ball to get away from him. Hand followed with grounder to Clark, who also 5uggled Barrett struck out. Guyon walked, fill ing the bases. Allen then singled to left, scoring Himell Calvo tapped to Carroll who held the ball and allowed the runner to make first in safety. Hand scored on the play and the bases re- mained clogged up.
 By this time 1t was plain that the Barons were enjoying balloon ascen- sion and Molesworth was gritting his teeth on the bench. Robertson grounded to Carroll who held the ball and suc- ceeded in making the put-out Guyon scored. Cocl<erell grounded to Ellam and that worthy young man added to the joy of nations by booting the ball and gain the sacks were populated with collegians. President w. D. Smith, who had come in from his farm to see baseball game, was keenly disappointed ssnd about to leave when Hardgrove de- termined to end the burlesque, struck out Hayes and retired the side
 The Barons came back in their half by scoring two runs on three juicy hits. Carroll singled Magee singled. Clark hit to Barrett, who booted, but managed to get Magee at second, while Carroll scored. In trying to complete a double-play Barrett made a low throw to first and Clark kept on going to second Cockerell threw to Calvo, who dropped the ball and Clark went on to third and then scored on another wild heaye by Robertson
