CLODS IN CLAY SOILS. l
The formation of clods in a soil
depends upon several factors. Fine‘
~textured soils are the ones that
give ‘most trouble in this respect, but
not all fine-texturel soils are sub
ject to the trouble. The shape of the
many soil particles has a great deal
of influence, and in the absence of
undecomposed organic or vegetable®
matter - ¢lods are more likely toebe.
found, when the land is plowed too
wet or toddry. Soils which clot easl
ly are those which contain a large
amount ‘of colloidal or gelatinous
matter, -
In material - which is so finely
divided that it has relatively large
surface compared to its volume, a
condition will be reached where thes:
minute particles will not settle out
from a liquid on ‘standing, but. will
remain suspended. This is called the
“eolloidal” conditon. In clay soils a
Jarge amount of this fine materinl‘
..is precent anl when such soils are
worked too wet the particles are
‘pressed together and on drying
clods are formed. On the other hand
when such soils are plowen too dry
they preak up into clods instead of
fine crumbs. v N
. When a clay soil is in “oood” con
dition the fine particles are group
ed together and form grains. The
patticles are then said to be in
“flocculatel” condition. By untimely
mgchanical treatment, as already
“mentioned, or by the chemical action
of ' certain materials these coarse
‘Ra_rt‘icles may be broken up into the
firer ‘ones, and cleds can then be
formeéd from this finely divided
material, This “deflocculation” is
prought about,. for instance, by sod-:
jum carbonate, Since sodium cudbon-1
ate is formgq by the weathering of
nitraté of soda in the soil it follows
that the continued use of this fertil
. iger on clay ' soils, where the fine
particles already cxist, will increase
the tendency to “clod”.
u,-'-.,.,{“_!‘s?"“’ soils the clods are harder
than in others, due to differences in
Jime content, organic matter, ete. 1t
has been found that one per cent
charcoal in soil reduces the hardness
or clods 86 per cent and one per cent
of lime in the soil reduces the hard
ness more than 70 per cent.
Weathering destroys the clods and
so fall or winter plowing and even
early spring plowing, helps to over
come the condition. Improvement is
also obtained when the organic mat
ter content is increased, and for
this reason the use of catch eréps i 3
advisable. In fertilizing soils which
remembered that the effect. of nitratc
have a tendency to clod it should be
of soda is to intensify the condition.
While in some cases liming may
overcome it.

THIS IS A MISTAKE 4
" We have no quarrei with our
eity council, but there is a trat fic
fight with the railroads which be
glnnlng with today causes a railvoad
order to stop passenger traing out
side the city until within five min
utes of departure. This is quite
a foolish order on the part of the
carriers coming into and out of Cor
/dele with their tpains. It dooks
like the hot weather has gotten in
to somebody’s temperament aad
marred diplomatic relatione.
We would like to make peace and
have the passenger trains go on yheir
way according to former customs.
We do not believe our greatly in
creased metropolitan travel would
suffer much n the fifteen minutes
used here for a dinner point. We
are 'sure the eating places close in
would agree with us, because for
'years the railroads have been making
Cordele a point for meals, |
City council has a recent . ordis
nance which requires that passenger
traing blocking crossings be” ciet.
The carrers do not propese to cut
their trains and now they.are leav
‘ing them outside the city Mmits till
within five minutes of time to de
part. T[\is will inconvenience the
y’gublic a great deal—and the public
had no-part in making thils row. |
We would do well to .withdraw
such an ordinance as that requiring
passenger trains to be cut. up when
they ocme in for dinner. Nothing
large is lost in letting them alone.
‘But there is one thing which should
be pushed to a satisfactory termi
nation—that is the poor condition
’iof gome of the crossings-—especially
‘jthose on the Southern.
' If we were boss, there are two
lqrosings on this line that the Sovth
ern would fix up right speedily.
|"-.‘Dhcy would fix them up chiefly be
cause they look like they are in a
_;" orse condition than any other two,
'f‘gxossings on the line from Macon to
fihcksonville. Both of them look
]fiike the railway officials are in &
Jeague with the automobile repair
;chops and the undertakers.
i PRESS AND TARIFF.
¢ While the metropolitan press is be
[ng assailed in the Senate in the in
‘terest of tariff extortionists, it does
not lack defenders in that body. The
“able Democratic Senator from North
fla‘rolin; (Mr. Simmons), former
Chairman of the Finance Commit
tee, not only defended the. integrity
pf the press, but exposed the rea
sons for the assault in his usual
clear and forcible manner in a re-
Lcent speech, In part he said:
. ] assume that these gentlemen
} (Republican tariff makers) are not
after the importeré and the.depart
~ment stores so much as they are af
ter the newspapers of the country.
That is their objective. We did
‘not hear so much talk about the ac
tivities and the sinister motives of
these importers and department
stores ontil we began to read into
’t;he Record these editorials from
the great metropolitan newspapers
of the country denouncing this bill
in unmeasured terms. It was these
editorials under which the Senators
won the other side, in charge of this
bill, squirmed and writhgd. It was
these editorials that drew their fire.
,But, it became necessary. to ascribe
| a- sinister and a corrupt motive to
fth‘e newspapers, especially of the
IRepublican press, that were so se
verely criticizing and denouncing
‘this bill; and then for the first time,
‘coming in force , in overwhelming
force, we saw and heard these as
saults upon the department stores
and the importers. For what? For
the purpose of fixing an ulterior and
unworthy motive upon the newspa
pers for their atacks upon the bill.
“When these great newspapers de
clared themselves, and when their
flead was followed by the big papers
7of all the large towns of the coun
’.try, without = reference to whether
ithey were importing centers or not,
'when Senators on the other side saw
that the clamor against their bill,
,which started with these newspapers,
was being taken up by the smaller
dailies and weeklies throughout the
country, and saw the number, day
‘after day, of these assaults from Re
_publican _sources, from newspapers
that hid alwags suported the, theory
of protoetion and %\cpnism,
‘with respect to whose partisan Re
'publlcnu affiligtions no question
‘could be made, they saw the neces
sity of immediately finding some
plausible excuse for that attitude on
the peat of this large number of
newspapers throughout. the country,
mot anly of their own party, not
‘only of the Democratic party, but of
the nonpartisan press, of the trade
press. In fact, this movement was
ded hy the commercial papers of
L_jhv(;w York and Chicago, and by the
‘Republican papers of those cities
jand of other large centers. And
80, the Senators from North Da
l.ota (McCumber- and Indiana Wat
gon) are simply using the depart
‘ment stores and the importers as
jhe cvidence in~ their indictment
against the newspapers of the Re
publican faith in this country. I
say that their evidenceé has broken
«down as against. the importers and
the department stores.
“Has a more serious charge than
that ever been framed or presented
'in the American Senate—a charge
'that the great newspapers, the cheif
*source of public information, con
stituting as i‘hey do one of the Re
: public’s' _chiéf safeguards, have
' suddenly fallen from their high es
| tate and surrendered . their editorial
| and news columns to an unworthy
iassault upon a bill presented and
rsponsored by the party to which
lthey belong and which they have so
faithfully served in the past? I
[‘think no more serious chafige than
fthat was ever presented in the
American Congress; and now, I ask
what is the evidence upon which the
majority side of this Chamber scek
‘to convict. the Republican press of
bill this country who are opposing
stheir bill of this infamous charge
‘that they have leveled against it?
Where is the evidence?

Young men, here’s more advice
than they have room for in their
large heads and hearts. But they
have so many things to make them
\forget the meaning of clean, regular
habits in their living that they are
soon swept far out in the swirl, nev
er to return until they have battled
through a score of years—too far to
make the most of their age of climb
ing and qualifying.
: Men usually smile and say that
;thc young fellow has to sow his
wild oats. What it costs the young
‘follow to sow his wild oats is fright
ful to consider at tmes. While he
is sowing most of them ‘he does not
‘even know the price he is paying.
Somebody ought to touch himm on
‘the arm and remind him of the dis
‘tjnct losses he undergoes in keeping
the company of moonshine liquer
drinkers. He ought to have som2
time somewhere that he can devete
to a serious thought of what he pays
for dissipation.
He ought to run his own affairs.
We do not want to see him tied to
“his monther’s apron strings after he
is old enough to be a man. He
‘ought to know early that what he
does in preserving his physiial self,
his mental qualifications, his badg,
hs training, means equipment for
the contests in life. He must en
ter—and he can be no winner unless
he is qualified to run. There will
'_ always be somebody already ahead,
‘somebody better qualified, some more
intelligent man to go to the dutics
'of the future if our young men fail
‘to understand that they have to
‘save themselves from drink and dis
:sipation to win. !

DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL
Savannah Morning News: When
the primary election fraud law was
passed it was supposcd by its Repubs
lican supporters that it would have
a tremendous effect against the
Demoeratie party in the oouth., But
. the very first big case in whieh it
was invokcd was that of Senator
Newberry, Republjcan; ‘of «Michigan.
And the Dyer- anti-lynching bill was
having a mighty hard struggle in the
Senate judiciary committee when
along eame the Herrin Illinois as
sacre to give its advoeates ~ more
strength of argument, It is a strange
thing that gome bills cooked up
largely by Republicans, and aimed at
the South, should apparently he
more badly necded in the North,
Maybe, if this sort of thing keeps
on, our holicr-fhan-thou Northern
nctghbors will quit talking about how
uncivilized we are down hete’ and
how much we need the bencficient
effeet of federal laws and s{'lpervlsi'nn
to say nothing of a little federa
| force now and then.
Ag to the Dyer bill it < had its
principal support from those whe
wanted to stir up the = formerly ef:
facioug politieal anti-South talk,
vote getter of other days. Senator
Lodge very plainiy said his negrc
constituents were demanding action
on it,
But the Dyer bill, even if passed
may find itself in opposition to the
constitution, whicl} lcaves to the
states ‘their own ploicing. The nation.
al child labor law was knocked out
on that ground by the Supreme
Court, and thc Dyer bill appears to
suffer from the same fatal nihnent:
as the child labor law. |
One peenlinr feature of the bill is
that it requires ‘‘rcasonable’ cfforts
by state authorities to maintain or-}
der and protect prisoners, What isi
reasonable cffort. The bill, if it
should beeome a law, would not find
a victim until in the trial of a casd
brought under itp provisions, failvre
of state authoritics to proteet mok
vietims had been proved to the”sat
isfaction of the federal trial court
If a mob jumped a sheriff and his
prisoner before he could reasonably
be expeeted to escape the bill would
of no effect as to the shriff.
Even if the Scnate passes the bill—
it will not have done much more
than satisfy the anti-South politician
in some places in the mnorth.

: OPPOSING ROAD BONDS
Moultrie Observer: Judging by the
‘Platforms o -tfie"'éimm% we would
giess ‘that the generdl "e’m\'dén.r;ot
opinion among politiciang is that the
proposed state bond issue for road
construction is going to be very un
popular, We notice that all the eandi
dates are ghying off from road bonds,
Most of the voters in the state are
back in the country. The ‘country
people have most to gain from good
roads, If the farmers of the stufe}
want good roads, they know ef course
they must buy t'ht'm, Jjust as they are‘
being bought in Florida and other
states, No state is doing anything for‘
road construction that is not issuing’
bonds. .I
If the fapmers feel that they can
wait on good roads, we suppose the
rest of the state ean wait, If the
farmrs wish to enter an ralliance
wiht politicians and defcat the laws
for road construction, they have it in
their power to do it. They will pay
the taxeg just the same—never one
cent legs. The diffcrence will be that
the money will be paid out for operat-‘
ing expcnses of the various depart-‘
mentg of government, to petty office
holders who aro the friends and sup
porters of the politicians
The automobile lieense tag will not
be reduced, and if this moncy, is now
divertrd to road congtruction, it will
be diverted to something else, and that
something clse will be worth precious
little to the farmer who is” traveling
over bad roads,
If seventy five million dollars is
spent on road construction, under the
plan suggested, most of this money
wil! be coleleted in towns and eiticg
and will be spent in *he country, And
the politicians are against it?
