An appeal to Ptae Georgia Fed
eration t:*in N&r, E. C. Branson,
president of State Normal School.
Mrs. J- Lindsay Johnson, pres
ident of (Tiet rgi.i Federation:
July 25th, 1901.
Dear Mrs. Johnson: —I
ious to see a model country school
established somewhere in North
Georgia; that is to say, a country
school in which the children are
netting just the kind of education
that ought to be common through
out the entire state.
Any wise scheme of education
grows directly out of the needs of
the community life and is aimed
at supplying those needs. The
most distressing need today in the
home life of the plain people of
Geoigia is the lack of domestic in
dustries of all sorts. Those domes
tic industries are to be found in
abundance and variety in the peas
ant homes of Europe. Every child
in these peasant homes is instruc
ted in some finger industry that
adds to the total income of the
family. Toy making, wood carv
ing, pillow lace making, knitting,
crocheting, drawn work, rug weav
ing. artificial flowers, and so on
endlessly. The long winter days
and the long winter nights are|full
of remunerative occupation,
How far we are from this state
of things in Georgia! It makes
one almost despair of our civiliza
tion. Until we learn to husband
our resources better and to live at
home upon what otherwise goes to
waste, until our plain people learn
to use profitably the time other
wise unoccupied in farm life we
can not heip being a poverty strick
en people. Like the man in the
bible, our tenant farmer says:
“Four months, then cometh the
harvest.” Heaven only knows
what he dees with the other eight
months.
(I speak plainly because I be-
Jieve that you can appreciate the
condition of things perhaps better
than any other woman in Georgia.)
We may not be able to do much
for the adult of this class, but their
children can be made all over
again, and “made different” as Mrs.
Poyser used to say, by a scheme of
helpful education.
The roint of my letter is this.
When I came back to tne school
from my trip to the mountains I
told this noble hearted student
body of the thing that lay so heav
ily upon my heart. There was an
instantaneous response. Dozens
of the,-e students have said to me,
Oh, Mr. Branson, we want to go
and teach in just such a school as
you think would best help these
people.
Some money is needed to estab
lish and maintain this school —not
more than a thousand dollars a
year for a beginning, and, mind
you, I would make it a model for
the country schools in Georgia. In
it the children would learn, of
course, the ordinary academic sub
jects, but then there would be na
ture studies as well, and drawing
and clay modeling, paper folding
arid paper cutting, a great variety
of forms of knife work, sewing,
cooking, and just such things as
can easily go on in every school in
this state. We could have two
teachers in this school and equip it
for the things we want and run it
with si,ooo a year. ■
We should want of course to
work in conjunction with the coun
ty school commissioners, and our ■
fund could be supplemented with j
the school fund for the district in j
which the school is established, j

We might open the matter to the j
county school commissioners and
let them bid for the school, and in |
that way we would be sure of hav- s
iug the co operation of the people
of the county, while at the same
time attracting attention to the un
dertaking. I would undertake to
plan it and direct it, if it should
seem best for nre to do so; in any
event I would give my heartiest
support.
This school has b e 1 earnestly
engaged this year in the way of
preparing teacheis to do just this
kind of work in common schools
of the state. In addition to the
courses outlined in the circular I
enclose, our cooking school and
our workshop are now outfitted
and in use.
Can the Federation of Womens’
Clubs in the stat guarantee a
thousand dollars a year for a thing
of this kind? It is of course prac
tical philanthropy; not sentimen
tal philanthropy; and‘it seems to
me that you are in a position to
test the temper of the Womens’
Clubs in.this state. Let me beg
you to give the club women in this
state a '•'hance to stand alongside
you in an undertaking of this
kind.
If we succeed, you may be suie,
that many other schools of this sort j
will spring up all over the state. I ;
believe it can be done, and I be- j
lieve that you can do it. I feel \
quite sure that you will not regard
tliis letter as an impertinence.
Yours truly,
E. C. Branson.
TO THE CLUB WOMEN OF GEORGIA.
Read Mr. Branson’s appeal and
say if you will aid him in his com
mendable endeavor
Annie E. Johnson,
Pres, of the Georgia Federation.
THE SOUTHERN WOMAN’S OFFER.
The executive board of the Geor
gia Federation has but one source
of revenue, aside from the annual
dues which are required for the
current expenses of said federa
tion, that is the revenue accruing
from the subscription and adver
tisements of the Southern Woman.
Of what they have the members
of this board will give half.
Of every yearly subscription
sent direetlv to the Southern Wo
man. Atlanta, Ga., marked for,
model or industrial school, one-half
will be given to the school. •
DONATIONS ARE NOW IN ORDER.
If the federation should under
take to maintain this Industrial
School, its place of establishment
will be decided by the desire and
energy of the county school com
missioners. It will be placed in
the county in which the commis
sioners and club will give the most
toward it.
It will be an endeavor in which
the club women should be aided by
eveiy man, woman and child in
Georgia.
The federation will have until
next January- to raise the money
but if the women will or will not
atteiypt this good work mu.-t be de
cided at once, in order that teach
ers may be engaged and arrange
ments made that success may be
assured.
Twenty-five cents irom each fed
erated club woman would be more
than sufficient. But if they will
or will not give this twenty-five
cents they themselves must decide
and uotity their executive board.—
Southern Woman.
The Board ol Education of Bar

ABOUT FERTILIZATION

RELATION TO ATMOSPHERIC
CONDITIONS.
REGARDING PLANT LIFE
Important -Subject of Interest to All
Agriculturists Further Discussed
by Georgia slate Chemist,
LETTER NO. 2.
All living things, both plant and ani
mal, may be traced back to two sources,
the soil and the atmosphere. In the
last analysis every particle of which
they are composed mtist have.been de
rived either trom the air or the earth.
Tne food derived from the air is by far
greater in quantity than that from the
soil, bat as the elements of plant food
in the atmosphere automatically renew
themselves, there need never be any
fear that the atiuosplieae wall be ex
hausted of the elements of plant food
winch it contains; the soil, nowavor.
is a different prqposition. The ( element>
of plant food contained are much less
abundant than in the air; in fact, many
of them are quite limited in quantity,
and rhe best efforts of the farmer are
needed - to improve the condition of lus
soil v so_as to render the plant food in it.
more available; lo prevent such plant
food as exists from washing away,
and to add plant food from any other
available sources. The soil is any part
of the earth’s surface which is capable
of cultivation and of the production of
crops.
• The geologists tell us that when
the earth first.cooled down from a mol
ten condition there was no soil any
where, but only rock, great granite
boulders and rook* of other nature, but
that in the vast, periods of time which
elapsed between the cooling down of
the earth’s crust and the time when
man and ether animals began to ap
pear on the earth, the rocks had
rot tail and crumbled away anti pro
duced wiiat we now know as the soil
and subsoil. The rain falling upon the
rocks sinks into tne cracks and fissures,
and, freezing therein, tears and flakes
off small particles; idvese in tutu, being
swept along by flcb-.is,. are ground
against each other and gradually re
duced to powder, i’ue oxygen of the
atmosphere also exerts.a eueuiioal effect
in converting some of the minerals into
oxides. For instance, if you leave a
bright, new x out exposed to the
weather you will soon note a coating
upon it which you call rust; chat is
produced by the action of the oxygen
of the air upon the iron of the ax, and
|is really the oxide of iron. Iu this way,
; then, by the action of water in freezing
j and thawing, iu grinding and tratis-
I porting the broken fragments of the
: rock and by the action of the air in ox-
I idizing the minerals going on for many
| thousands and toousauds of years, pos
j siblv millions of years, the rocks have
; been gradually converted into what we
! now know as the soil and subsoil.
ihe subsoil may extend down only a
j few feet, or it may extend for many feet,
but when you get to the bottom of it
yon will strike rhe rodk, usually the
j same bind of rock from which the soil
I was originally derived. Soils may be
! divided into t&gse geueraj classes—
sandy, clayey, limy ah J peaty, accord
ing to whether their principal ingre
dients consist of sand, clay, carbonate
of lime or vegetable matter. A soil
which contains over 70 per cent of sand
is called sandy. Such soils usually con
tain but little plant food. They are ill
adapted to withstand a drought, as the
i sandy particles absorb and retain but
: little moisture and the ‘crops would
1 soon burn up iu a long dry season; but
when the rainfall is abundant ar irri
gation is at band these soils are desira
j ble, because they dry out quickly, per
mit the easy cultivation of the crops
and respond quickly to liberal fertiliza
, tion. They are especially adapted tQ
" quick growing crops,
j A clay soil is one that contains over
50 per cent of clay, and is exactly the
| reverse of the sandy soil. Water perco
( lates through them very slowly and iu
a very wot season the crops on them
suffer from the excess of moisture. They
are also more difficult to cultivate.
These lauds, however, are usually rich
er iu plant food. They are well adapt
|ed to the grains and grasses. Limy
| soils, June soils, or calcareous soils, ar<j
those which contain over 20 per cent of
; liine. The lime exists iu these soils iu
the form of carbinaie of lime, and is a
very valuable elf ment of plant food. It
! is itself absolutely essential to the plant
, and n also aids iu breaking up mineral
| combinations iu the soil, and so render
; ing other elements of plant food avail
able which would otherwise remian in
soluble and therefore inert.
Lime also aids materially in the
decay of organic or vegetable mat
ter in the soil; it also improves
the mechanical condition of the
soil; it is a great benefit in this way
both to sandy and clay soils. It causes
the very loose particles of rhe sandy soil
to adhere more closely together, and so
improves its power of absorbing and
holding water; it also improves the tex
ture of a clay soil by preventing the ;
particles from sticking or adhering so ;
closely together and thus renders it j
more porous and friable and easy to
work, and also enables water to pass
through it more easily, in a measure j
obviating the dangers of a wet season
on clay land. The limy soils are adapt- .
ed to the grains and grasses and fruits. j
Peaty soils consist of organic or vege- i
table matter in a state of partial deconi- j
position, with comparatively little min- i
eral matter. Such lauds are usually oi j
a deep black color and are very produc
tive.
The three kinds oi soil just described
are the extremes of their kind, and the
soils which are generally preferred by
farmers are mixtures ol these, and are
known as loams; a soil which contains ;
from 10 to $0 per cent of clay is called a 1
sandy loam, when it contains from 20 m :
30 per cent of clay it is a loam, and j
when it is composed oi from 30 to 50
per cent of clay is a clay loam. An ideal ;
or perfect soil is hard to find iu nature j
containing just the right proporiion oi
sand to keep it porous and warm and j
permeable to water; just the rignt :
amount of clay to keep it cool and to
obviate the water running quickly ;
through it like a sieve or evaporating i
too rapidly from its surface; just the i
right amount of humus or decayed vege- ;
table matter to furnish nitrogen and to
hold past the proper quantity of moist
ure like a sponge: also just the proper j
gmouut of lime in the soil to furnish
plant food to help liberate the potash
from the feldspar and mioa minerals in
the soil, and also to aid in the decompo
sition of roots and turned uuder crops
like clover and peas. Plenty of lime in
the soil will help convert these into
humils which is so highly appreciated
by farmers all over the world because it
nelps to retain moisture! to convert the
insoluble forms of nitrogen iutyo the more
soluble, and to give to the soil that black
color which is usually found fa most
fertile soils, and which certaiuly has tin
power of absorbing more of the lieac
rays of the suu and thus making the
soil warmer than the lighter colored
soils can possibly be. Iu my next letter
I will still write you more on this im
portant sueject of the soil.

I think that the family must
have a big pile of letters waiting
for me somewhere, as I haven’t re
ceived any mail yet. But then I’m
only seventy-six days out, and
will be home in a few more than
that many more.
Dr. Mitchell and I have our two
instruments all ready now except
for collinatitig his spectroscope
which we hope to do tomorrow,and
then have ‘Thursday and Friday
for drill on making our exposures
in time which is about, in this
place, five minutes fifty-four se
conds. But the weather now isn’t
very favorable because for the last
week it has been getting cloudier
every day.
I’ll now proceed to give you an
idea of how I’ve spent my Sundays
on the island. On the first one,
April 21st, Curtis and I transferred
his six inch equatorial from one
side of the Foit to the other,which
occupied half the day. Then,right
after dinner, I took the “Sawah
Leonto Cannon Ball” and came
down here, a distance of 20 miles
in one hour twenty minutes, going
straight to the hotel where I met
Prof. Burton and assistants, Smith
and Hosmer, M. I. T. and Mattis
of the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey out here with
them, as he speaks Dutch. Stayed
till the last train, then returned to
Solokl getting there six p. m.
-Sunday, April 28th, CurtE, Gil
bert and I left the barracks at 9 a.
m., to go for a walk in the direc-
tion of the mountains, intending
to get back by eleven. But when
we got to the foot of the mountains
we decided to walk on up to the
top, not thinking it was over a
mile. But by the time v. e had
leached the native rest house on
the top, where we bought some
bananas and water for lunch, the
distance had increased to four miles
instead of one. Height above
Solok 2300 feet. About half way
up we had the most beautiful view
I have ever seeu, over the jungle
j down to the cocoanut trees and
rice farms in the valley to a dot
mant volcano Talang, about 10
miles dist tnt. Beautiful hardly
expresses it. On the way up we
I passed a tribe oi monkeys and afso
! a large snake about nine feet long,
which got away before we could
kill it. Jungle so thick you couldn’t
see ten feet into it from the path.
Sunday, May sth, we all went
! wild boar hunting at the invitation
jof Mr. Ross, a Solok gentleman.
I Accompanying us were 43 natives,
j who spread out into the jungle and
I drove the pigs out into the under
| brush clearing where we were sta
tioned. I had Draper’s 22 Wiu
, Chester repeater extra long and
| was the only one who had a shot
at the pig when he broke exit. I
saw a movement of the underbrush
ijustas a Malay pointed , out to
| me. A second later the pig ran
j across a clear space of seven feet,
j straight below me on the steep hill.
• Got in two shots at him, one of
! which 100 k effect in the hmd part
of his body- and the other tore
through his left hind hip and right
hind foot, laming him badly so
that a few minutes later one of the
Dutchmen was able to give him
two square shots in the head. Tell
you what, that 22 did better work
than I thought it would. Tttat
boar had two tusks, each about
four inches long. That same day
we passed two trees, each of which
was black with “flying foxes,” a
large bat they have ouj here. We
shot several, one of which measur
ed five feet, tip to tip, the rest
averaging four feet eight. I pick
ed out one in as good condition as
possible, which is now being stuff
ed for me. I think he was four
feet ten inches. How is that com-

Well, yesterday the sun rose
pure and bright with outlook for a
favorable day. The first contacf
catne at 1011. 48m. 46.45. at which
time there wasn’t a cloud near the
sun and it remained so until about
twenty minutes before the second
contact —1211. 20111. 52s. —when
beautiful, O such beautiful cirrus
clouds began gently to drift over
the face of the sun. But during
totality I think I must have gotten
some very fine cloud effects along
with Mercury and Venus shining
brightly close to the sun. The cor
ona was very faint behind the
clouds but on the same general
plan as last year’s although the ex
tension of the streamers was by no
means as great as at Barnesville
and it was not quite so dark, there
being enough light by which to
read a newspaper at ordinary dis
tance, But that is enough as you
have probably read all about the
event even noiv. The temperature
fell 3 degrees Centigrade or 6 de
grees Fahrenheit but really I
hardly noticed it.
There were two rumors circulat
ing among.the Malaos before the
eclipse. One was that there would
be no eclipse arid the other was
that there v\ould be one but that it
would last eight months. The na
tives were standing in groups
waiting for totality and when it did
come they ail began to yell and
oray to Allah; some of them ran
into their houses; the workers in
the rice fields got away as fast as
their heels could carry them; and
the wife of the big native chief
even went so far Iks to grab her
children and jump into the river,
as much under water as possible
until the sun appeared again.
I will go over to Fort de Kock
