farm of the Third District Agricultural have been determined upon as the
College. He will be {occupied in this standard titles for certain classes
work about three weeks. When com-
pleted the College officials will know
exactly what the farm is capable of
doing.
Soil surveys are a comparatively
new thing In agrlcnlture, but are be
coming more popular, every year, at
their value and importance are appro,
elated.
“I have been deatailed by *the De
partment to make a soil survey of the
three hundred acres comprising the
farm of this Agricultural college," said
Mr. Carter to the Timea-Recorder yeS'
terday. "This makes the fifth college
survey I have made In Heorgia, hav
lng been to Barnesvllle. Carrollton,
Powder Springs and Statesboro before
coming to Americus.
To Map the Farm.
"I will make a soil survey for a map
of tbe college farm, on a scale of one
Inch to the acre, or one inch to about
209 feet, showing all the different kinds
of soil on the farm, using varying
colors to designate each variety of soil,
This is the system we pursuo even in
a soil survey of an ent<re county,
which la aometlmes mad >, the scale
there being one inch to a mile.
"On a farm like that of tbe agrlcul.
tural college the map is very complete
and of great value to the officials in de
termining whaf to plant and how to
operate the farm to the best advan
tage.”
“How do you go about making such
map?” was asked Mr. Carter.
Makes Many Borings.
"I am provided with a special
augur" waa the reply, "with which I
make numerlous borings, all over the
farm, to tbe depth of about three feet.
The results of each boring are carefully
noted, full data being written out of
the exact nature of the soil that Is
found at each spot. On the diagram of
the farm this la all carefully noted.
"Under our aystem all soils are
classified according to texture, and
grouped into aeries, and groups of these
series are classified according to geo
logical conditions.
“Would you be apt to find many
kinds ot soil on a farm hereabouts?
was asked Mr. Carter.
"Probably. Over at Barnesvllle
found fifteen different kinds of soil on
the college farm, at Statesboro eight.
It Is somewhat surprising to those
who have not studied soils to know
how many different kinds of soil, each
peculiarly adapted to certain plant
growths, may be found on the same
farm.
“Our object in preparing this soil
map of the college farm is to deter
mine the adaptability of its soil to
different crops, tbe fertiliser require
ments, and the best methods of cult!
vation. Specimens of each variety
of 6oU_found there will be sent to
Washington for chemical analysts, *1
only dping tbe field work.
“On the map and report which will be
the eventual result of my Investigations
and the work at Washington will be
shown the farm in detail, with crop
yields, value of soft, the cultivation
required, and the consideration of any
problems that may present themselves,
such as the increasing of the crop
productiveness of the soil.
"The lowering of crop productive-
ness is the condition that meets one
most frequently In tbe South. In this
region fanners do not plow deep
enough or turn under enough organic
matter, depending too mnch on com.
merclal fertilisers, which do not meet
the soli wants.
"In the South, cow pea vines pro
vide the best organic matter for the
■oil, while in the North clover Is the
most suitable and most satisfactory
feeder."
Mr. Carter will engage a helper in
Americus. His work bare will un
doubtodly attract much attention
among tbe planter! of Sumter and
adjacent counties, all of whom are
keen students of agricultural progres
sive movements, and doeply interested
In everything concerning the district
agricultural college.
