nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and
calcium oxide. AS a matter Of fact,
these elements are never found in
the soil in the form gwen, but as
various complex compounds more or
bless insoluble and unavailable until
:hey undergo slow decomposition in
the soil.
The chemical composition Of the
various soils of Pierce county are
given in other parts of this bulle-
tin and the fertility of the different
types has been discussed in con-
nection with the analyses. Referring
to the tables of analyses, it will be
seen that the principal soils Of Pierce
county are deficient in nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, and potash. The
soils of the Blanton, Leon, Norfolk,
Plummer, and Triton series are eX-
tremely low in nitrogen with the ex-
ception Of Plummer sand, depres-
sion phase, which is well supplied
with nitrogen, due to accumulation
Of organic matter. All the soils of
the county are extremely low in
phosphoric acid. The Kalmia and
Wyatt soils are well supplied with
potash, though the other types are
decidedly deficient in this con-
Stituent.
From experiments made on num-
Der Of soils in this section, and COM
pairing large number of chemical
analyses, it appears that produc-
tive soil capable of giving good to
heavy yields with only light appli.
cations of fertilizers should contain
at least 1000 pounds of nitrogen,
5000 pounds of phosphoric acid,
and 10000 pounds of potash per acre
to a depth of 81 inches. Comparing
these figures with soils of Pierce
county, it will be seen that a liberal

STORIES
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
Work as you will you never can
Succeed unless you have a plan.
PADDY THE BEAVER.

Paddy and Mrs. Beaver went UP
the Laughing Brook "a short distance
above where it entered their pond.
Here it was quite narrow and the
banks on either side were fairly
high. Above this point was little
valley, through the middle of which
ran the Laughing Brook.
II think" said Paddy, that this is
the place to build a dam. What do
you think, my dear?"
Mrs. Beaver said nothing. She
went along one bank, crossed the
Brook and came back along the 9TH
er bank, all the time studying the
ground and the water. Finally she
spoke. Il think we should go a little
f4rther up" said she.
But the banks are not so near to-
either and it will take a longer
dam," protested Paddy.
ut will be easier to build" replied
Mrs. Beaver. THE water runs too
fast here and is too deep. There are
two or three big stones in the Laugh
Brook up there, which will help
us to make the dam solid. We won't
have to build it clear across to start
with. We can add to it as we have
to-"
What do you want a dam for,
anyway" asked Peter Rabbit, who
had been looking on and listening.
Because we need another pond
UP here" replied Paddy.
Another pond!' exclaimed Peter.
Another pond! Goodness gracious,
isn't one pond enough for you? Have
you each got to have a pond?"
P9 Idly laughed. mo, Peter" said
he' we don't each have to have a.
pond. 1t is all a matter of food.
Goodness knows I'm not anxious to
bu1ld another dam! 1t means a lot
OF work, but We have got to have
plenty of food for this coming win
ter and there is very little left
around our old pond. Up the Laugh
ing Brook ways is a splendid lot
OF young aspen and birch, and that
IS why we need a new pond"
Huh" said Peter. Huh! It looks
to me as If you are going to a lot of
work for a little food Why don't
you Just go up and cut those trees
and drag them down the Laughing
Brook?"
I'm the first place, Peter" replied
Paddy, 'it would be more work to
qraS those trees down the Laughing
Brook than to build a dam. You see,
the Brook is too shallow. In the
second place, most of those trees are

The nitrogen content Of the soil
is dependent upon the content OF
organic matter; for decaying vege'
table matter is the exclusive source
of nitrogen. Clearly. then, the
first steps in soil building must be
that of greatly increasing the pres
ent meager supply of nitrogen
through large additions of humus
forming organic matter. It would
be a mistake to assume that this
deficiency of nitrogen could be met
solely by the use of commercial fer
tilizers; for the value of fertilizers
is largely dependent upon the phys
ical and mechanical condition of the
soil, which, in turn, is influenced
more by the content of organic mat
ter than by any other factor. This
explains, why the productiveness of
the soil cannot be maintained SOLE
ly by the use of mineral fertilizers.
AS organic matter becomes exhaust
ed, increasingly larger amounts of
fertilizers must be used to main
tain yields, and the margin of profit
becomes smaller, until finally the
fertilizer may be used at a net loss,
which is, in fact, sometimes the
case.
The methods to be followed in
maintaining and increasing the Or
ganic matter and nitrogen must
necessarily depend somewhat upon
the type of farming being practiced.
Where dairying and other live
stock farming have prominent
place, the manure from the herds

But it would hardly be sufficient. 1t
should be supplemented by winter
cover crops and other leguminous
green manure crops. such as cow

MAINTAINING AND INCREAS.
ING THE FERTILITY OF
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA


The future progress of our civili-
zatiop depends upon more intimate
knowledge OF oy:r soils. We have COS
ten out Of them most of the readily
available supplies of plant food
Which they contained when we re-
claimed them from nature. In many
instances, the yield of our crops has
Iallen down to point where the
cultivation of many of our type
SOILS does not appear to be profitable.
III we cannot institute methods or
practice by which this difficulty can
be overcome, then our agricultural
production must continue to dimin-
ish, and presently our people will be
short of food, and our industries de-
prived of the necessary raw ma
terlalS with which to continue their
operations. An understanding and
appreciation of the soil is therefore
a matter of vital Importance to the
state and the nation as a whole, and
it is on this account that so much
stress has been laid upon this sub
ject.
Recently an examination has been
made into the types Of soils found in
a section of South Georgia known
throughout the state as Pierce coun-
ty. What has been discovered rela-
tive to the soils in that portion OF
Georgia applied largely to those in
contiguous area. In fact, general
deductions of use to farmers through
out the entire portion of southeast
Georgia have been drawn from the
survey already made. AS this mat
ter is of such vital and general inn
portance, an effort has been made
to prepare in concrete form a sum-
mary of the procedure in order that
the fertility of the land in that part
of Georgia may be maintained in
definitely. This subject requires
such exhaustive consideration that
the data is presented in the form of
two relatively short papers, of which
this constitutes the first.
The plant food constituents de-
termined and reported in this bulle-
tin are total nitrogen, total phos-
phoric acid. total potash, and total
calcium oxide. There are other es
sential elements of plant food, but
they are usually abundantly sup
piled in the soil and are, therefore.
not considered in this report. The
acidity of the soil has also been de-
termined and is reported in terms OF
the pounds of limestone per acre re-
quired for it's correction.
1t is. of course, understood that
these plant food constituents do not
occur in the form as given in the
tables. The figures in the tables Of
analyses simply represent the total

growing quite a distance from the
water. 1t will be much easier to
send the water up to the trees than
TO take the trees to the water, and
hundred times safer for u.s."
What do you mean by sending the
water up to the trees?' inquired
Peter, scratching long ear with a
long hindfoot.
Just what I said" retorted Pad
dy. IF we build a dam across the
Laughing Brook it will stop the wa
ter from running down, ont it,"
Peter nodded.
That will make it spread out and
go ack and make a pond, won't it 3"
continued Paddy.
Again Peter nodded.
well, in time that pond will be
so big that it will nearly reach those
trees. Now, do you see?" said Pad
dy.
Peter said that he thought he did.
1t wasn't quite clear to him, but he
had the idea. Meanwhile Mrs. Paddy
already had begun to drag sticks and
lay them in the Laughing Brook
where the water was shallow. She
laid them with the big ends pointing
p~tream, and she held them down
by rolling stones on them and heap
ing mud on them. She lad settled
whe'e that dam was to be.

will be necessary to maintain the
productivity Of the soils in this coun-
ty.
The present fertility is due large
ly to organic matter, which accumu.
lated before the land was cleared.
The loose, open structure found in
most of the soils of the county will
tend to break up this supply quickly
unless care is used to prevent undue
loss.
Nitrogen and Organic Matter
Comparing the plant food require
ments of our common crops with
the average plant food content of
the principal upland soils of Pierce
county, it will be seem that these
crops require far more nitrogen than
they do phosphoric acid or potash.
Most of the upland soils of the
county have been farmed for many
years, cotton being the principal
crop grown on much Of the land.
The loose, open character of the
soil, combined with the mild eli
mate, permits a rapid loss of organ
ic matter and nitrogen. Consequent.
ly, the soils are uniformly low in
nitrogen to produce more than one
fourth to one-third Of a bale Of cot
ton or IL to Is bushels of corn
per acre. Without liberal use of
heterogeneous fertilizers, continued
yields greater than these can
not be expected unless the nitrogen
supply in the soil is increased.
The following table gives the
amount of the principal plant food
constituents required for some COM
mon field crops, and shows the
proportion of this plant food which
is usually sold and that which usu
all goes back to the land in the
form of crop residues:
