rate. l have seen virgin soil that pro-
duced sixty bushels of wheat per acre
so depleted that it would scarcely
grow twenty bushels.
The four elements removed by grow
ing crops, which oftentimes exist in
such limited quantities that they must
be replaced, if the crops are to con-
tinue to do their best, are nitrogen,
phosphorus, potassium and calcium
or lime. The nitrogen is found in the
humus or decaying vegetable matter
of the soil, while the other elements
are found principally in mineral COM
binations.
Few appreciate the value of plant
food a crop of grain move from the
soil if this plant food were purchased
in the form of commercial fertilizer.
Twenty bushels of wheat will remove
from the soil 25 pounds Of nitrogen,
1875 pounds of phosphorus and Z
pounds of potash, with a fertilizer val
ne of $4.91. The straw removes 10
pounds of nitrogen, rs pounds Of
phosphorus and % pounds Of potash,
with a fertilizer value of 1888. The
entire wheat crop, unless the fertility
removed is replaced, takes fertility
out of the soil valued at 1924, nearly
one-half Of it being removed by the
straw. In a similar way a 50-bushel
oat crop will remove fertility worth
$11.06.
The efficient farm manager will ar
range, drought crop rotation and a
sufficient number of livestock, to re-
turn ever more fertility than was ia
ken from the soil. The successful
farmer Of the future must thoroughly
understand the business, both from
practical and scientific standpoint
must be a good judge of livestock, and
know how to market as well as pro
duce. He must also know how to buy
and use modern machinery in an econ
omical way as well as to care for il

HOPE OF AGRICULTURE LIES
IN SCIENTIFIC USE OF SOIL
Oh. S. Groves.)

Some years ago l was talking with
his boys, in whom he tool much pride.
He told me that he expected to make
a lawyer out of George, a doctor out
Of Sam, a preacher of Frank, and then,
in a hesitating way, remarked furth-
er that little Ned did not seem to be
al bright as the other boys, and he
guessed he would make a farmer out
OF him.
Little did this farmer realize the
keen competition which the future
generation of agriculturists must meet
and the fact that the farmer to at
tain the highest degree of efficiency
would require better judgment and
training than those engaged in pro-
fessional lines.
There are numerous farmers who
a make a living from the soil, but
those worthy the name should have an
ambition to make more than mere liv-
ing, and should 30 manage that they
are able each year to realize a good
salary for their time and ability, and
to either bank a good amount or make
investments in improvements and live
stock, which would materially increase
their revenue in future years.
Perhaps no place in the country
requires greater ability in farm man
agement than the west, where condi-
lions are 81 varied and where scienti-
fic and economic methods must be
adopted in order that the fertility OF
the soil may be built up and the
yields correspondingly increased.
The successful farm manager must
understand the properties of the soil,
which he should clothe with a person
ality and feed in a similar manner
The soil requires a balanced ration
the same as man or any Of the lower
animals. If it is deficient in some
property necessary for the production
of crops, this property or food must
be supplied.
1t is the lack of these elements, to-
gether with improper cultivation, thai
accounts for poor crops grown by sc
many farmers. The first and funda-
mental step is to know what elements
of fertility plants remove from the
soil, and how best these can be re,
placed in needed supply. Farmers
are fast recognizing the fact that eact
crop which is harvested removes from
certain plant foods which
must be replaced if crop yields ar,

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS
BY CLYDE SMITH.

For two days !Cordele has been busy
in entertaining the representatives
from the schools in the Third District.
We think that every one who came
was we'll cared for and given the best
Of entertainment. The success Of the
meet was due to the cooperation of
the citizens of Cordele with the school.
We boys think that the ladies of Cor
dele deserve special mention for the
good dinner they served on Sat. Saturday.
AS Americas is to have the school
meet next year, we think that city will
have to get move on if it eXcels Cor
dele in entertaining the visitors to the
meet
We have a feeling of qualification
that Cordele still holds first place in
the Third District schools. Although
we did not walk off with everything
as we did last year, we took enough
points to cause us to rank first. We
have held first place rank for two
years and we are going to do our best
to hold it for many years to come.

UTWORMS DOING
GREAT damage
REMEDY SIMPLE AND EASY AND
FIELD CAN De CLEARED OF
THEM.

1t may be that the cutworms are
destroying many of your plants, held
as we'll as garden. This pest may be
destroyed if it has made its appea-
ance in your crops.
The various cut worms are known
under number of names, such as the
CLASSY cutworm, yariegated cutworm'
clayback cutwork, etc, the injuries
caused by them are very similar and
their habits in general are also much
the same. The parent Of cut worms
are grayish or broWnish moths, which
commonly occur at lights during sum
mer evenings. Each moth may lay
from 200 to 500 eggs, either in masses
or singly, in fields covered with dense
vegetation, and hence are to be found
more often in cultivated fields which
have been in grass or weeds the pre-
ceeding fall The eggs hatch in the
fall, a few weeks after they are laid,
usually during September, and the
young cut worms, after feeding on
grass and other vegetation until cold
weather, pass the winter as partly
grown catterpillars. The ravages OF
this pest usually cease in June or lit
tie later
Late fall and winter blowing of grass
L. I- oJI off o n P
blowing, will destroy many Of the hi
bernating cutworms.
Pasturing hogs upon land supposed
to harbor cutworms is a beneficial
practice as these animals root up and
devour insects of many kinds, includ-
ing cutworms, in large numbers.
Whatever the worm is destroying
for you will depend upon how large
quantity of bait you will need to de-
stroy him. Mix in the proportion Of
one peck CT bran and two cups OF syrup
with one ounce 1.-TWO table spoonfuls)
of Paris green and enough water to
moisten the mixture. Cotton seed
meal may be used instead Of bran, tax
ing one part Of meal to one tablespoon
full of Paris green. This Is placed in
small bats near the plants and may
be kept moist under a bit Of earth TO
protect from the sun. DO not allow
chickens or other animals to eat this
poison mash. The bait will be more
effective if applied during the later af-
ternoon or early evening hours.

OFFICERS SHOT FATAL
TO DESPERATE NEGRO

sa s
Seaborn Wynhe, a desperate negro,
was shot and almost instantly killed
Monday morning near Seville by w. w.
Cobb, constable at that place. The ne
gro is said to have made an attempt
to attack the officer with knife when
Cobb opened fire with a revolver. One
shot was fired, taking effect in the ne
gro's head.
Wynne, it is said, had terrorized
other negroes of the community. He
lived on the farm of Mr.. Faircloth;
three miles from Seville. Sunday
morning. he had severely beaten his
wife and children, and later he enga-
ged in fight with another negro man
of the locality. A warrant was issued
for his arrest, and Cobb, together with
DR.. G. L. Colhoun, J. B. Hand and
Glen Mayfeld, all of Seville, went by
automobile Monday morning to the
home of Wynne to capture him. They
found him there though upon their ap-
proach he fled from the house and hid
himself in nearby swamp. Cobb and
his friends gave chase, and the officer
and Hand overlook the negro, who
showed fight. He drew his knife and
the men Immediately opened fire. The
negro was taken to Seville and died
there about an hour later.
