greater chemical activity without re-
moving the products from the root.
This activity is aided by good venti-
lation of the soil. The growth of de-
sirable organisms is promoted and nj
trates are formed by them from or
ganic matter in the soil. ITfcse or
ganisms also produce carbonic acid,
which increases the availability of
the mineral portion Of the soil.
S. Drainage changes unfavorable
! physical conditions of soils to favora-
BILE conditions for plant growth: This
change is most apparent in fine tex
tured soils, as clays, or in those that
have heavy subsoil, as many of the
Georgia soils have. This is brought
about by the constant wetting and
drying process, and results in chang
ing a compact soil into one more
granular and porous. 1t is well
known fact that a poorly drained soil
is heavy and compact and that its
physical condition is improved by
drainage.
6. Drainage increases the root
growth of crops: Where water
stands near the surface, ordinarily
crops make little root growth, due to
the fact that their roots will not de-
velop in the free water of the soils.
Should this water level he lowered
the plant roots increase in growth.
Drainage will keep the water level
low and as result crops will develop
in root growth and increase in yield.
z. Drainage increases the availa-
BILE moisture for crops: This is due
to two facts. First, when the soil be-
comes granulated to the condition of
good filth the capillary capacity is
increased. In this condition the soil
not only readily absorbs the rainfall
but retains a larger portion of it in
form that can be used by plants.
Second, the plant roots are distrib-
uted more widely through the soil
and to a greater depth than in a
wet soil, and are placed in reach of
much larger supply of water.
s. Drainage, especially underdrain-
age reduces erosion: This is brought
about by several of the above bene-
fits, though mainly by the granula-
tion and improved filth of the drained
lands. Rainfall is absorbed more
readily and as a result much of the
water that would have run off on
the surface of the soil is carried down
through it. This benefit will be most
appreciated on the clay hill land of
the state and will be a means of re-
ducing the number of terraces and
hillside bitches.
8. Drainage improves the santa
ton of farm: This is of importance
to both plants and animals, as Meth
er will do well where the soil is wa
ter-logged and poorly drained. The
health of the operators is often ben
Gifted by drainage, as it improves all
sanitary conditions.
10. The results of drainage are
most appreciated in the increased
yields of crops: All of the benefits
mentioned are directly concerned in
the improved conditions for plant
growth, and as result the yields of
the various crops are increased,
bringing greater profit to the farmer.
Drainage is a soil problem In the
soil surveys of the state in which the
Georgia State College of Agriculture
is cooperating with the Bureau of
Soils of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, we find in our classif-
cation of soils that drainage or lack

EXTENSIVE GIN IMPROVEMENTS
PLANNED FOR PORT GIBSON

It is rumored that the Hiawatha
Gin Co. is contemplating turning the
whole Of the old Mississippi Cotton
Oil Co. building into a gin an dcotton
storage plant.
The company has been operating a
gin in a small building adjoining this
big structure for a number Of years
Since the county S gradually return
ing to cotton raising, probably the
Hiawatha people think II is time to
enlarge.
Port Gibson is badly in need Of a
first-class gin, and whether the above
plans materialize or not, it is proba-
Bile that something viii be done with
in the next few months possibly by
the local business men-to supply this
need.

got a Calvert in his power his whole
heart ached to do justice to his vow
to get even. The Calverts were the
cream of the arlstocracy in the little
Kentucky town; the Classes were poor
white trash. not fit to associate with
gentlemen, even in enlisting to fight
the southern rebellion. That was sew
eral years ago. "Kaintuck" was now
a western highwayman, and the CAL
verts and Graham Lyons were in the
mining business. Molly was on the
way to visit them when she was TAX
