REM BERT’S DRUG STORE s 113 FORSYTH ST. “In preparing the map three thlnga are kept In mind, to be clearly brought out In oar final results, the texture of the soli, Its origin, and its agricultural value. iCertain names of soils, and these are applied on the map." Many Kinds of Soils. 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.
