BROUGHTON, SAFE IN AMERICA
CRIES NOW FOR BITTER WAR

ATLANTA, Ga, March 15.-Dr. Len
G. Broughton, famous crusading
preacher, who founded the Baptist
Tabernacle in Atlanta and then went
to London as pastor of Christ church
in that city, has become militarist
of the most advanced type since his
departure from England shortly after
the outbreak of the European war.
Whereas he regarded England as 10
longer a comfortable and inviting
place to live on account of the horrors
and privations of>war, DR.. Broughton
is altogether in favor of a declaration
Of war by the United States upon Ger
many. Here to attend a conference
of Baptist ministers and laymen, DR..
Broughton says we should have gone
to war Immediately after the sinking
Of the Lusitania. Moreover. he believes
in compulsory military training for all
men of military age in the United
States. But, perhaps, the doctors out
spoken advocacy of war upon Germany
does not contemplate such war as
England is waging, and which he saw
at close range that he decided to re-
turn to the United States, for he ad-
mits that if we should go to war with
Germany we wouldn't aave to do any
actual fighting.

To Prevent Worms
In Fruit Spray
r. II. NOTATION, Prof. OF Hort,
Ga. State College OF Agriculture

II one expects to raise apples that
lime-sulphur and arsenate of lead must
be applied to the trees Immediately
after the flowers fall away from the
plants and before the little apple has
turned down on its stalk
Worms in peaches are controlled
by application of selfboiled lime-sul-
phur and arsenate of lead to the trees
when the shucks are falling from the
little peaches. Both on apples and
peaches, this spray should be repeated
about three weeks after the first appli-
cation.
To make-self boiled lime-sulphur
take pounds of quick lime, put it in
the bottom of barrel and start to
stacking with boiling water, then add
5 pounds of flowers of sulphur that
has previously been made into paste
with water and Stacking lime. Add
enough hot water to just cover the
lime and sulphur in the bottom OF
the barrel. Cover the top of the bar
rel and allow it to cook with the heat
Of the Stacking lime for five minutes.
Then add enough water to make so gal
Ions. For apples, to each so gallons
of this material add 2 pounds arse
nate Of lead paste, or l pound arse.
nate of lead powder. For peaches
add to each so gallons of this material
11a pounds arsenate of lead paste,
or y pounds arsenate OF lead powder.
Thoroughly stir the mixture, and put
through a strainer into the spray bar
rel. Be sure to work all the uncOoked
sulphur through the strainer. Remove
the Jumps of lime and dirt that might
clog the pump.

Varieties Of Velvet Beans
JOHN r. FAiN, Prof. Of Agronomy,
Ga. State College OF Agriculture

The variety Of velvet beans to plant
depends upon the length of the grow
ing season. 1t should utilize all CT the
growing season to make the largest
yield; hence in southern Georgia it
is better to have a late variety.
In more northern parts Of Georgia,
however, beans with shorter growing
season, or shorter period between ger
mination and maturity, should be Sc
lected.
There are three general groups of
velvet beans, the early medium early
and late The late and medium are
adapted to south Georgia, medium to
middle Georgia and early to north
Georgia.
The trade hears of Ninety Day and
One Hundred Day Velvet beans. AS
a matter of fact, there are none such.
No velvet bean natures in ninety days
and We have discovered none that ma
lures in one hundred days. In fact,
it may be reckoned that early velvet
beans will not mature under 120 days
and the medium not under 100 days.
No one, therefore, should be misguided
by these misleading names in deter
mining when to plant to obtain ma
turity before the growing season
closes.

Use GRoUND>lIME-
Stone FOR PEANUTS
A LEGUME THAT CALLS FOR LIME
AND PAYS WELL FOR
ITS USE
BY ANDREW M. SOULE, President
"a c4a4a HnIIa,o nF AorIouIfura

DI HNOnEW VI. OOOGC, TESSiuSnl
Ga. State College OF Agriculture
1t will be found to be good practice
10 use finely ground limestone on land
intended for peanuts. The limestone,
or agricultural lime as it is frequently
called, should be bought by analysis,
as the various brands manufactured
differ in quality and value. We believe
1t will be a mistake to apply less than
1000 pounds per acre, and in many
cases it will be good practices to use
as much as 1000 pounds per acre. 1t
is not necessary to lime land oftener
than once every three years. The use
of lime will prevent to a large extent
the formation of pops" and increase
the yield of peanuts. The use of
ground limestone in southwest Geor-
gia will become a matter of general
interest, now that the farmers in that
section are turning more specifically
to the growth of leguminous crops on
account of the boil weevil invasion.
Where large area is to be lined,
a lime distributor can be used to dis
tribute the ground limestone most
economically and uniformly. Lime can,
of course, be scattered broadcast from
wagon bed, and the farmer who can
not afford to purchase a distributor
should follow this plan. Care should
be used to distribute the lime uniform
ly. The ground should be plowed be-
fore the lime is applied. 1t may then
be broadcasted over the land and har-
rowed in. Lime should not be mixed
with acid phosphate according to our
understanding of this problem. When
this is done we think certain
amount of the available PHOSPHORUS
in the acid phosphate Is changed into
form that is less available to the
plants for food
1t will be a mistake not to put acid
phosphate under the peanuts. We be-
lieve 800 to 500 pounds per acre will
give profitable returns, and when pot
ash can be bought at normal prices it
should also be used

IS lime A Fertilizer?
OFFERED IN COMBINATION WITH
OTHER MATERIALS

Chem, Ga. State. Col. of .Agri.
1t should be understood that it is
not necessary to use lime as fertiliz-
er, or plant food for general crops, and
that it cannot be used as substitute
for any particular plant food as pot
ash, phosphoric acid or nitrogen.
Calcium, the chief element OF lime,
is a plant food, but most soils are suf-
ficiently supplied with 1t to furnish all
the plant needs, and besides consider
able calcium is added as gypsum, or
calcium sulphate, whenever acid phos-
phate is applied, calcium sulphate be-
ing formed in the manufacture of acid
phosphate.
The soil has a distinct requirement
for lime, and lime in its different forms
should be used to meet this require
ment without consideration of other
fertilizing material. Lime helps the
physical condition of the soil, corrects
acidity and encourages the growth of
beneficial bacteria. Leguminous crops
use atmospheric nitrogen only by the
aid of these bacteria, so lime is most
effective when used with such crops.
1t enables the leguminous plant to
take more nitrogen from the abundant
source in the atmosphere by render
ing the condition Of the soil suitable
for bacterial growth.
Leguminous crops are essential in
soil building and increasing the fer
tility of the soil. Lime is essential
to the vigorous growth of legumes.
Other crops do better when following
a good crop of legumes, so all
crops are benefited directly or indi-
rectly by lining the soil.
Better results will be obtained from
the proper use of commercial fertiliz-
ers under these conditions, and they
should be used without giving consid-
Grafton to any lime that may have
been used. At present the use of min
eral potash salts as fertilizer is out
of the question and the only potash
found in fertilizers now manufactured
will be the small amount carried in
cotton seed meal and other organic
substances which naturally carry a
small per cent of potash. In the case
of cotton seed meal the per cent of
potash is about IL. This condi-
ton is being taken advantage of
in some cases to lead farmers to be-
lieve that lime will be good sub
stitute for potash. The farmer must
not rely on this means of supplying
his potash, but by using organic mat
ter in the form of manure, crop resi-
dues, cover crops to turn under, deep
blowing and good tillage, he will draw
more literally from the abundant sup
ply Of potash now locked up in many
soils of the state.
Lime will help to liberate this pot
ash only in so far as it improves the
physical condition of the soil and in
creases the growth OF leguminous
plants which may add organic matter
to the soil

Planting Waste Land To Trees
JAMES 3. BERRY, Prof. of Forestry,
Ga. State Col. OF Agriculture

Nd SE5IC SOts VI n.y. tNAlhoIC
No one knows even approximately
the area of waste land in the state;
no doubt it is very large, By waste
land" is meant that area which, be-
cause of steepness, roughness or ero-
sion, is untitled for agricultural pur-
poses Practically every farm in the
state contains some land of this de-
scription. At present it is yielding no
returns, often the erosion is a menace
to valuable agricultural lands below
If properly planted to trees and kept
in forest the benefit would be two-fold:
first, the land would be producing
some revenue; second, the amount of
erosion would be reduced and finally
controlled. Old Field Pine, though of
ten despised, is rapid grower and
yields a material which is of great
value on the farm, whether used as
fuel or sawn to furnish plank for
rough construction. Young trees may
be secured from any nursery company
at a reasonable price These are
spaced six feet apart each way and
require no further care until they be-
gin to crowd each other when they
may be thinned. Other trees may give
equally good results: Yellow Locust,
Catalpa, Walnut and Ash grow rapid
ly and produce valuable material. Chi
ma Berry grows rapidly, but produces
Inferior material. 1t makes good fuel.
