The soil that can not grow good
crops in abundance is the soil that
loses the farmer money. How to get
the soil up to its highest yielding
power is a question one must answer
to be successful In his work.
The power of the soil to produce de-
ponds on many factors Some are
well known and reliable as guides.
Others are not SO well known we
do know that the soil is composed OF
many finely-divided particles OF rock.
These mineral parts of the soil afford
much of the plant food that is needed
for the growth of the plants Closely
associated with the mineral elements
of the soil are the parts of decayed
and decaying vegetable matter. Peat
and leaf mold are examples. For the
soil to be high producer, the min
eral parts of the soil and the vegetable
parts must be in the proper proper
ton This proportion can be told by
one working in the field by the way
the soil responds to the farm imple-
'ments and by the way the crops yield
at the close Of the season.
The vegetable matter that is needed
in all soils can be placed there by
growing green, crops and blowing them
under, by returning the straw Of grain
crops to the land, and by feeding the
crops to live stock and hauling the
manure back to the land. AS the plants
and the manure decay in the soil, GER
tain chemicals are produced. These
chemicals act upon the rock particles
in the soil much like vinegar acts
when put on limestone. This action
frees the mineral plant foods that the
plants need, and we see the crops re-
spond with greater growth and yields.

ple's money. Thus a loss Of
probably in the whole state Of
100000 is annually sustained by
the people.
You cannot now exempt state,
county or municipal bonds from
taxation, thus imposing loss Of
from ! per cent to D per cent in
the sale Of our bonds both
municipal and state. Is that right?
Under our present Anticipated
system Of taxation, we have
driven. capital from the state and
impeded the progress Of railroad
building, until we are behind
most all Of the southern states.
Why not, by way Of inducement,
exempt new and important inter-
prises in the way Of manufactur-
ers from taxes, until they get a
footing and then have the ad-
vantage of permanently taxing
them and Of them employing our
surplus labor and consuming our
products2 We should invite to
instead Of repelling capital from
the state.
Then we are seventh, ! believe,
in illiteracy among the southern
states. Do we not need a more
vigorous educational policy?
We are always holding cleo
tions. The sheriff and trustee
should at least be elected in No
vember with the other state and
county officers instead Of in
August, and many think all
state and county officers, includ-
ing governor, and the general
assembly, should be elected only
every four years. Besides saving
great deal for the state, it would
work great good in a business
way. 'Our secretary Of state,
comptroller and treasurer should
be elected by the people.
We should make it impossible
for a faction in Shelby county to
steal an election by trafficking in
registration certificates and for
wholesale fraud to.be perpetrated
through the buying and selling
Of votes, by way of paying poll
taxes just before election time.
Have voters to pay tax six
months before election day.
The want Of space forbids a.
continuation Of this article, 1t is
sufficient to say that, we are fall
ing far behind our sister states
in material progress. In the
midst Of plenty we are in want.
With our great natural hydro
electric power plants and sites
therefor undeveloped, our vast
coal fields and phosphate lands,
our abundance of timber sup.
plies, our proximity to the great
water ways, our iron and other
mining industries, together with
the most favorable climate and
excellent farm lands, yet we are
far behind in railroad building,
manufacturing, farming, educa-
ton and material development.
Every business mans league,
every labor union, every com
mercial club, and well.informed
body Of men in Tennessee has
