EVER HEAR OF A
CIRCUIT WALKER?
Unlike His Brother, the Circuit Rider,
He Has Gone His Way Through
the Years Unnoticed Til Now

A minister cannot keep himself and
a horse, too, on $400 year. He does
we'll if he keeps himself. All of which
means there are hundreds of ministers
of the M. E. church, south, who, hav-
ing number of charges, sometimes
as many as ten even, must walk the
distance between them for the Sun
dav and mid-week preaching service.
A recent report coming to the Home
Mission Department of the church,
located at Nashville, showed some
facts-facts almost startling in char
acter to the every day man or woman
who thinks the circuit riders lot is
hard enough without dreaming there
is such a person in existence as the
circuit walker. Some of these min
listers have circuit covering over 100
miles in area, with as much as twenty
one miles between two of the charges.
The report recently compiled shows
that thirteen circuit walkers (some of
them circuit riders) have ten appoint
ments each; thirty-six have nine ap-
continents each; ninety have eight
church to take care of two hundred
have seven; four hundred and fifty
preach at six different churches; seven
hundred and forty-six preach at five;
and one thousand and sixty-eight get
to a church once every fifth week. All
of these circuiters are poorly paid
most of them far too inadequately
paid to even meet the simplest of mod
ern needs-and one of the most I'M
portant things coming out of the Cen
tenary movement to raise fund OF
S35,OOO,OO0 will be the raising of the
salaries of these men to the place
where they can at least afford good
old nag to lift them from charge to
charge.

BAPTIST VICTORY
DRIVE BEGINS SOON
By Arch C. Cree

Next Sunday the Baptists of Geor-
gia will launch with great enthusiasm
their statewide Victory Drive for
S125,OCO cash. In the week between
February GIG, the Baptists plan to
raise this amount in cash in addition
to special drive being put on in At
lanta to raise $4,000 for the Georgia
Baptist Hospital, which will make a
grand total of $175,00 cash to pay
every dollar of every debt on every
Institution owned by the Georgia Bap-
fist Convention.
The organization for this big push
is practically completed. Teams of
Ten with Key-men as Team leaders
have been set up in every community
in the State where there are any con-
siderable number of Baptists. Each
Team stands for minimum of $1,000
and each Team Worker for mini
mum of 500. These Teams are gear
ed for speed, to which there is no
limit and it is freely predicted by the
leaders that the work of the first
day or two will win complete Vic
tory. Next Sunday every Baptist
preacher in the state is urged to
preach on ''Drive," giving information
as to the needs of the institution in
volved and calling on the people to
get squarely behind the effort.
Great zest has been added to the
campaign by the generous offer OF
Mercer university and Bessie Tiff col
lege to give four very liberal schol-
arships to the four teams going the
farthest over $1,000 cash, new mon
ey, per Team, and four additional
scholarships to the four individual
team workers going the farthest over
500 cash, new money. These schol-
arships are worth while, for they
range in value to the student from
S14OO down to 5000. This is a fine
opportunity for Teams and Team
Workers to help some worthy young
men and women go to college. The
prospect is that there will be some
lively contests among the Teams and
the Team-W Workers over these valu-
bale rewards.

In Bulletin No. rs of the Georgia
Experiment Station will be found a
detailed description of the William
son method of growing corn. This
method is sometimes called the
"stunting" method, since the idea
involved is to produce as little stalk
as possible, allowing most of the plant
food in the soil to be used for the
production of the ear, thereby OBJ
tanning large proportion of ear to
stalk and larger yield. The prin-
ciple point in the practice of the
method is the Withholding of the fer
tilizer until the corn is knee-high or
until the second cultivation at least,
though there are some changes also
in the cultural practice.
For several years the Georgia Elk
pertinent Station tried the method as
given by Mr.. Williamson and SIM
liar method as practiced by Mr.. Gil
more, one of the directors of the sta
ton, but in late years have tried
simply the practice of putting the
fertilizer around the corn as COM
pared with putting it under before
planting.
The results of the earlier tests
as taken from the bulletins of the sta
ton show that in 1907, there was a
gain of lib bushels per acre for the
williamson method as compared with
the Gilmore method. (Mr. William
SON advised rows feet apart, Mr.
Gilmore five feet, while our ordinary
method of planting has been IN four
foot rows In 1908 these methods
gave 22.9 bushels, 1916 bushels and
al bushels respectively. In 1903
the Williamson method gave 842 and q
the ordinary but 262; in 1910, 4O:8
against 1922; in 1911, 14.7 bushels s
while the ordinary but 15.9. In l9l 8
the Williamson again doomed up with
25.3 against 1874 for the ordinary
method.

HOME MEATS NOW EQUAL
OF THE WESTERN PRODUCT

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 6-Not so very
long ago when an Epicure wanted a
choice cut of meat he went to the
butcher and specified western meat, "
but conditions are now undergoing a
very rapid change, particularly IN
Georgia and other southern states
where the live stock industry has ex-
perienced such remarkable growth
in the past few years.
AS the result of scientific breeding,
careful feeding and the development
of packing houses in Georgia, native
meats are considered as good today
as western meats, and the most care
full and fastidious buyers are ready
to take a cut of Georgia-raised beef
as quickly as western beef, provided

Fertilizing Corn

In the later tests comparing the
yields when putting the FERTILIZER I'M
der and around, we find the results
to vary as follows: In 1914 putting
it around reduced the yield To per
cent; in 1915 there was a gain of 8
per cent; in 1916 a gain of 1874 per
cent; in 1917 loss of 10 per cent
and in 1913 a gain of % per cent,
there being an average gain for
these five years of TT per cent by
putting the fertilizer around as COM
pared with putting it under the corn.
Although there is some advantage in
this method of putting it around there
are also some objections to it. If the
fertilizer is put down before the corn
is planted, there is little dagger of
it teaching and at the same time the
work is done when Their is no great
rush, but if it be withheld until the
corn is knee high it often happens
that Their is a rush on at that time

and there may be other work with

coming along also at that particular
time, all being pressed and the the
busy farmer will not know which
way to turn. If the labor on the
farm is above or at the necessary
quota, it may be well to delay the
fertilizing, but if the labor is below
quota, it will hardly pay to leave it
and run the risk of congestion of the
work and liability to get Sin the

In some tests in which different
amounts of fertilizer were used with
out nitrate, the average results for
the years 1915, 1916 and 1917 were
20.2 bushels for no fertilizer, 20.8
for 200 pounds, PAT for 400 pounds,
25.2 for 900 pounds 23.6 for 500
pounds, 24.8 for 1000 pounds and

GARDENS WILL BE PROFIT
ABLE THIS COMING YEAR

The home garden is likely to prove
profitable investment of effort this
wear. as it has for the past several
seasons, in the opinion of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The experience of the past few years
has proved that persons who have
sufficient land and spare time and who
do their home gardening work in
diligently and efficiently find it profit
able. The relatively high prices of
practically all foodstuffs tend to in
crease the saving effected, but the
home garden should be planned with
a view to meeting the family needs
rather than of producing crops for
sale on the market.

Agriculture is the bed rock and
foundation upon which every other in
dustry must stand or fall. All the
people prosper or fail to prosper &C
cording to the abundance of the har-
vest of the soil, and upon agriculture
depends the prosperity and happiness
of the world.
Better methods OF agriculture in
clude the use of modern Implements,
modern cultivation and soil improve
ment This brings us directly to the
Importance of the fertilizer industry
as a means of improving our soils. Fer
tilizers are absolutely essential in or
der to increase the fertility of the soil.
They have a direct effect upon agri-
cultural production and through the
products of agriculture direct effect
upon all other industries.
Anything which contributes to an
increase in our agricultural produc-
tons, contributes to the welfare, COM
fort and PROSPERITY of our people as
a whole; and this brings us directly
to the consideration of the Importance
of the fertilizer industry in relation to
other lines Of business.
Fertilizers Necessary in South
The very nature of our soil, climate
and rainfall makes it impossible to
farm successfully without regularly
feeding our crops from artificial
sources with at least two Of the sew
eral principal elements entering into
the composition and development OF
plant life. Without fertilizers much of
the best producing cotton lands in the
South would become unproductive and
farming would be improbable. In
many states, except in few locali-
ties, soil is no more capable of pro-
ducing without being fortified than
stock is capable of performing work
without being fed. Our lands must be
fed Just as we feed the stock that
work them or they will become too
poor to even pay the cost and expense
Of cultivation.
Transformed Sections
Large sections of land in various
parts of the South Atlantic States, for
ty or fifty years ago, required four
or Eve acres to produce one bale of
cotton, which now, by intelligent farm
ing, made possible by the use of fer
tilizers, yield one bale to each acre,
or the equivalent, of other crops. Pow
erty stricken sections of one or two
generations ago have been transform
ed into populous and prosperous COM
munities. Our ability to rebuild and
make our lands more fertile has en-
abled people to live and settle in Slore
desirable communities, and to enjoy
advantages of better markets, schools,
churches and social conditions. Bet
ter rural conditions have made the
back to the farm" movement not only
q possibility, but reality.
Prosperity Due to Fertilizers
Whatever may be the direct benefit,
1t is obvious from study OF the sit
uation that the present prosperity and
greater population in South Carolina
is due more largely to the use OF
commercial fertilizers than to any 9th
er cause. because in South Carolina
fertilizers are absolutely necessary to
profitable agriculture, upon which most
of our business and other industries
depend. Had it not been for the use
of commercial fertilizers South Caro-
lima could not be considered an agri-
cultural state.
Taking into consideration the cost
of fertilizers, statistics will bear out
the statement that the once worn out
