j HAY PARK KNITS AND
WAITS FOR GOOD NEWS
| PARIS, Nov. 9.—Perhaps it is the
, continued flood of “authentic” good
I news, perhaps it is that the Parisian
really can not remain downhearted for
: more than sixty days at a stretch, but,
in spite of the leaves which are begin
ning to flutter down, Paris has been
; more cheerful these last few days. No
one knows who has lost brother, or
husband, or son at the front. Every
body knows they have surely lost some
one. The little flower seller at the
Etone has sixty-seven relations fight
ing. As a precaution, and with a
brave smile, the Parisian “bourgeoisie"
has begun to don black. When the
news comes it will be less of a shock.
It is at night that the stranger notices
the difference—no one about after
10:30; almost impossible to get a cab,
even in the main thoroughfares, and
Paris apparently is dead.
No one has much zest for anything.
The Tuileries Gardens and the Champs
Elysees are deserted. The “bateaux
mouches,” which ply on the Seine to
those riverside resorts so beloved of
the Parisian, slid up and down today
almost empty. What the Parisian, or
rather Parisienne, is bent on just now
isi knitting. It is not worth reading
anything except the official “commun
iques,” and they are so short and
convey so little that it is a task quick
ly done. Besides, who cares for these
places with the melodious but com
pletely unpronounceable names in
Galicia, over which the “communique”
does wax slightly more loquacious?
So everybody knits, in the Bois de
Boulogne, in the restaurants, such of
them as are still open, at home. The
color does not apparently much mat
ter. I have seen some weird shades of
pink and blue which it would surely
make a self-respecting soldier blush to
wear. But the intention is excellent,
and doubtless in time the shades will
tone down into the dull monochrome
of brown. So much wool has been con
sumed these last few days by willing
fingers that prices have risen. Besides,
the great wool-combing factory of Hul
ton, at Reims, has been practically de
stroyed by shells.
Newspapers Tell How to Knit.
The Journal des Debats has a charm
ing article describing the rush to knit
or crochet something for these in the
field. It takes three skeins to knit a
jersey—a long one, to cover the front,
the back and the neck; three skeins
and three afternoons. Beginners are
recommended to start with deep belts,
which take two skeins and one after

Paris has been full of rumors as late
Perhaps they were both the cause and
the effect of the buoyancy of the peo
ple. Von Kluck had been captured
somewhere; 150 troop trains had gone
north to fetch him and his legions to
Versailles; the Hotel de Ville was to
be illuminated, and so on and so forth.
! Some credulous people had even seen
placards announcing good news affixed
to the walls of various Mairies. The
strictest precautions are being taken
to track down and to stop these sup
posedly true stories, and people are
i warned against reading more into the
official “communiques” than appears
therein.
| All the same, you can not keep the
buoyancy down. Certain restaurants
are beginning to rebel against being
1 forced to close their doors at 9:15.

tre, thanks to benignant policemen, in
sist on keeping open until 11 p. m. I
strolled into one last night, which was
once rendered famous by Aristide
Bruant. It was a tiny smoke-filled
room, half full of ancient desks and
more or less disreputable people. But
every one was filled with the spirit of
• “bonhomie,” and chanted the chorus of
the patriotic songs with enormous
zest. There was no bombast about
, these songs, none of the “ready-to-the
last-gaiter-button” spirit. They were
all almost international in tone, and
i gladly owned the debt owed to “phleg-
mati England,” “great Russia” and
| “little Belgium.” The Emperor William
| was sacrificed with all the cruel wit of
which the Fhench tongue is capable,
and “La Gosse au fusil de bois” was
repeated in all its horror. No on had
anything to drink for the “bar” at
least was closed, and even that favor
ite beverage of Montmartre, “cerises”
was impossible to obtain.
French people are much amused at
the habit of British soldiers of whistl
ing on the march. They are surprised
[ at the volume of sound, and find that
the whistling of “It’s a Long, Long
Way to Tipperary,” or of the “Marseil
laise,” is probably a better accompan
iment to a long and dusty tramp than
the shouting of any number of songs.
They like the shrill sound, and wonder
that the phlegmatic Englishmen should
so far bestir himself. In fact, France
at the end of this war will have to
alter her opinion of England on a good
many subjects. British thoroughness
has always been more or less grudg
ingly recognized; but just now the
tribute on every one’s lips is to British
grit and British pluck even in adver
sity.
Parisians in general are having rath
er a pleasant moment of respite from
the duties that fashion imposed, and
, if it were not for that many of them
have a sort of shame of enjoying such
leisure and security while their breth
en are in the trenches and exposed
to all the horrors of an earthly in
ferno, they would confess that they
had never spent so glorious a summer.
We are no longer obliged to attend
the theatres and be seen at the Opera
and the Comedie on fixed days. If now

" THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
How a Soil Analysis Helps a Farmer
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
Soil analyses are advisable that the
farmer may take account of the store
of plant food in land. Some plants ex
haust the plant food more than others.
Some require certain kinds of food
more than others. What should be
grown on a given piece of land de
pends upon the sorts of plant food con
tained therein.
Knowing what elements of plant
food are contained in a given piece of
land an<j ascertaining about how fast
that store of plant food is exhausted
by various crops each year, a basis
is afforded for a permanent and profit
able system of agriculture.
With such knowledge to start with
it is for the farmer to work out with
right methods of cultivation and fer
tilization the full benefits of the land,
and to practice at the same time meth
ods that will build up rather than
deplete the fertility of the soil, so that
from year to year he may increase
the real capital he owns and controls
in his land.
Knowing in what his lands are most
deficient, his fertilizer formulas can
be intelligently determined and ap
plied. Should a farmer’s land con
tain apparently an abundance of pot
ash, how could a farmer know it with
out an analysis of the soil? W r hat

Beef Cattle in South Georgia
Bring Handsome Profits
Prof. M. P. Jarnagin, Professor Animal Husbandry, Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
To demonstrate the advantages in
beef production under Georgia condi
tions and to determine what profits
could be reasonably expected, 33 na
tive cattle were bought, dehorned and
cleaned of ticks. On silage, cotton
seed meal and oat straw the cattle
were fed for 100 days and were then
sold for beef at Richmond, Va. The
profits on the Investment were 26 per
cent., or at the rate of 79 per cent per
annum. The 33 cattle were bought for
$534. They were fed seven tons of
cotton seed meal bought at $26.93 per
ton, making the cost of this item of
food $188.50. Fifty-three tons of sil
age costing $2 per ton made another
Item cost $lO6. It cost $5.11 per head
to market the cattle, which covers
freight, feed in transit, weighing, tele
grams and commission.
Twenty-two head of the cattle
brought $913.12, nine brought $250.41,
one proved to be with calf and sold
for $22.50, one died and the hide
brought $5.00. The actual net profit
was $215.86, made in only 100 days
work, sweeping out the rooms and I
emptying the pots and pans. It is all ■
very well for the other fellows to
laugh at me, but somebody must do
these jobs!”

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 9.—The
Interstate Commerce commission to
day began hearings on a petition re j
cently filed with that body, asking that
existing freight rates on cypress
lumber shipments from Florida to
eastern points and northern destina

The rates now In force have been at

in cutting out a mammoth cypress
swamp near Pensacila. The charge is
made by the petitioning company that
existing rates are both discriminatory
and excessive, and the commission is
asked to establish a new tariff gov

Yellow pine shipments, the petition

riers at lower rates than are charged
for cypress shipments, while the
two commodidies are practically the

money in purchasing this needless ele
ment of fertilizer, if he does not know
that it is not needed. In peat and re
claimed lands there is a super-abund
ance of nitrogen, as a rule, yet if fer
tilizer is applied without a knowledge
of this fact, the probabilities are that
the usual amount of nitrogen would be
applied and nitrogen is quite expen

A soil analysis is needful also in
helpirtg the farmer to determine not
only how much plant food is present
in the soil, but about how much more
is neecssary to stimulate and make
available to a maximum degree that
which exists in the soil. Where there
are marked deficiencies in any one of
the elements, it is essential to know
in what proportion fertilizing elements
should be applied to develop a given
crop to the fullest extent.
Knowing the deficiencies of a soil,
a system of rotations can be applied
calculated to conserve and build up
the fertility. A series of tests are be
ing made with various crops on vari
ous types of soil in the state, under
the direction of the College, to deter
mine the limiting factors in developing
the full plant food value of these soils.
Naturally it will take time, but once de
termined there should be valuable in

on an investment of $534.
No charge was made for labor, the
farmer doing the feeding, taking the
manure for the labor. Nor was any
charge made for oats straw, this be
ing donated by the farmer who previ
ously had burned it to get it out of his
way.
The cost for marketing was unus
ually high, and ordinarily most of this
cost could be eliminated by selling to
nearer markets. Had all the feeders
been steers the profits would have
been greater, 22 steers having sold for
an average of $42.50 per head, while
seven cows and two stags averaged
$14.73 less per head. The loss of one
steer cut profits, but such loss might
be said to be representative and to
be considered when undertaking such
an enterprise.
With cotton seed meal selling from
8 to 10 per cent less than last year
and cattle bringing from 10 to 25 per
! cent higher prices, how can you keep
: from building a silo and getting into
: the business of beef raising?
