SOIL IMPROVEMENT
(By Prof. John Etheridge)
In the days of farm depression it
seem s that evory one interested in
farming would ire very much interest
ed in the improvement of his soil, in
order that lie may be able to produce
big crops more economically. This
may lie done in two or three different
way.
1. By planting soif improvement
crops.
2. Better cultural methods.
3. By using more fertilizer.
With conditions as they are, it
seems that the last method need not
be considered very seriously now,
However, many farmers could use
more fertilizer than they do to a
great advantage. The second method
—better cultural methods—could be
improved considerably, but what we
are interested in at this season of the
year Is the first method—soil im
provement crops.
There are two outstanding soil im
provement crops:
1. Harry Vetch, 2. Austrian Win
ter Peas. These may be planted alone
or with oats during the- early fall,
'ihc college farm is planting about,
thirty acres of Austrian Winter Peas
with oats. They are mixed by putting
100 pounds of peas with 350 pounds
of oats and then planted with a grain
drill using about two bushels per
acre. This will be turned under and
followed with corn next year.
By doing this we do not expect to
use much commercial fertilizer un
dor the corn. The Experiment Station
at ntton, Ga„ has had splendid re
sults by following corn after Austrian
Peas.
Unless you. have
these peas soveral
to inoculate them. You
THANKSGIVING
In the year 1620 the little band of
Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. They
had a hard struggle the first- year to
live. In the fail TO21 when they had
gathered their first harvest in the
new country, they turned to their
God, whom they had trusted to lead
and to protect them ,and they offered
to Him thanks. They chose the first
Thursday in November for the pur
pose. A feast of turkey, pumpkin and
corn was prepared but the day was
spent in giving thanks.
Whether or not this idea was car
ried out each year, we cannot say.
Cotton Mather, however, states in
his "Magnolia” that they celebrated
this day in 1631. In the early months
of that year it looked as if there
would be a famine during the winter
because a drouth was killing their
corn. A day was spent in prayer for
rain. By evening a gentle rain was
falling. That fall another day was
spent in giving thanks to the God
that cared tor and watched over them.
Then it was that the first Thursday
in November was definitely' set aside
as a day of worship.
Little by tittle the influence of the
day for festival and thanksgiving was
spread. Each year the last Thursday
is November is celebrated as a day of
colonist traditions of thank?, turkey
and pumpkins. The day was changed
to the last Thursday in November by
a little town of Connecticut in 1905.
The settlers said that they c-Cnld have
their molasses ready, for the winter
by the last of November.
It is the customary act for the
president of tile United States each
year to proclaim the last Thursday
in November as, a legal holiday to be
spent in worship, prayer and thanks
giving. This day is set aside each
year for us to count our personal
reasons for being thankful and to
count our national reasons for of
fering to God our thanks. Our war
is over; our educational advantages
are greatly improved, our churches
are stronger and we can worship our
God in public without fear. Just think
of how much each one of us has to
be thankful for.
