From the reports of the farm man
ager and the dairyman at the Ameri
cus Agricultural and Mechanical
School, that have just been made t.o
the principal, we get some very In
teresting figures. Mr. David Wicker
has managed the farm, while Mr. Har
ris Ratcliff has had the dairy herd In
charge. Mr. Ratcliff, in addition ,.o
managing the dairy, is keeping up reg
ular class work as a student. We can
give only extracts from the reports as
they are too long to give In full
From the farm report wo get the
following: All the work was done by
the students. Fifty nine and one half
acres were cultivated during 1909. The
average gross proceeds per acre of
cotton was $14.55; the highest gross
proceeds per acre, was $04.40.
Twenty two acres were sown in oats.
The average yield per acre was 34
bushels; the greatest yield per acre
was 65 bushels and one peck. Seven
teen acres of the land sown In oats,
after the oats were harvested, was
sown in peas. From the 17 acres, 14
tons of hay was gathered. The aver
age money yield, gross, per acre, on
oats and hay, was $31.S2.
The report shows that more than 20
experiments were made with oats.
One of the most surprising things
nbout the report Is that the greatest
net yield of oats above cost of fer
tilizers. was made on a plat on which
nitrate of soda was used In March.
No fertilizer on this plat.
The small acreage Is due to the work
required in preparing the land, and
the rapid cultivation that Is necessary
on account of having to contend with
nut grass and bermuda sod. It re
quired seven times going over some
of the plats sown In oats, till the
time the seed were planted.
Mr. Ratcliff, the dairyman's report
shows that he turned Into the school,
9,816 quarts of milk. Valued at seven
and one half cents per quart would
make a total of $736.20. The school
received no returns from tlje product
of the dairy for 34 days, during
which time the milk was delivered to
parties In the city.
The farm manager's uport In p»rt

Cotton and cotton seed, 13 and
1-2 acres $651.44

By way of Impressing upon those
fortunate people who live In Ameri
cus how well off they are, we reprint
this from the Nashville American:
“The cold, wet, snowy weather of the
past six or eight weeks has worked
hardship upon men who labor out of
doors. Hundreds of them have been
unable to earn a dollar for weeks.
They have bad to live by the grace
of their grocers, and naturally have
had little money as their enforced-idle
ness has been more or less felt by the
dry goods houses, clothiers, shoo deal
ers, etc.”
Travel to Americus has been excep
tionally heavy this week, not as a re
sult of the Episcopal church conven
tion, which brought probably a hun
dred persons to the city, but the reg
ular commercial travel that is always
In evidence at this time of the year,
visitors from other points on social
calls, and prospectors looking about
for business openings or for lands
that look tempting as investments.
Tuesday night demonstrated how
great the travel this way is when a
round dozen traveling men found
themselves decidedly up against it
so far as securing accommodations arc
concerned. Not a room was to be
had at the hotel. Standing room only
was the sign posted there, although
only two or three of the church con
vention delegates were accommodated.
It was a genuine case of travel ex
ceeding existing accommodations.
Two travelers who came In one the
Seminole limited shortly after mid
night were pretty much disturbed
when they found no accommodations
to be had. Fortunately for them thoy
struck up an acquaintance with a par
ty rooming at the Y. M. C. A. Ho
thought that there might be an empty
room there, took them down, found
one, and made them comfortable for
the night.
Some other travelers, minus a sleep
ing place, were not so fortunate. They
wandered around for some time be
fore they could find a hoarding house
where lodging could be secured for the
night.
All of the delegates to the conven
tion, of course, were provided for In
private families. It was merely the
unexpected largo number of ordinary
travelers that exceeded the accommo
dations.
Wednesday and Thursday night also
found accommodations leased to the
limit. N
Travel is expected to be very heavy
for the next sixty days at least. It Is
not Improbable that many nights dur
ing that time the Windsor will be
"chock-a-block” and that doubling up
or cots may have to be resorted to to
meet the pressing needs. The prosper
ity of this section may be responsible
for the deluge of travelers. It Is to be
regretted that the Improvements that
aro to give the Windsor so many
more desirable rooms are not com
pleted. The rooms will he npt to be
much needed for some time to come.
Every year sees a decided Increase
of travel Into Americus. Next winter
will probably see many times when
even the much greater accommoda
tions of the hotel will be taxed to meet
the demand.
Sore Lungs mid Ilutv Lungs.

STORM IN LEE COUNTY
BLOWS DOWN HOUSES
Rainstorm is Followed By
High Wind.
. News reached Americus Friday of
a severe windstorm which swept over
a portion of Leo county, to the south
of this city, during the early morning.
On the Robert Mayes plantation one
or more tenant houses were wrecked
by the gale, the occupants fortunately
escaping with their lives. The storm
did damage In other localities as well,
though to what extent Is not definitely
known here as yet. A heavy rain
followed In the wako of the storm
throughout the section, as about
Americus and vicinity.

© You
Feed
Your Crops?
D
O YOU KNOW just tvhat your cotton and corn
need, and are you furnishing it in such quantities
as required and in such shape that the
plant can use it ?
Suppose you should put the food for your stock in a
box, nail it up and place it in their trough—would you ex
pect them to thrive and grow fat ?
Hardly 1
Well, did it ever occur to you that when you use lumpy,
badly mixed fertilizers you are putting this same proposi
tion up to your crops—offering them plant food in such
shape that they can’t get to it?
Fertilizers, to do your crops any good, must dissolve in
the soil waters. These are constantly in motion, rising to
the surface during the day and sinking at night—passing
and repassing the roots of the plant, which absorb the food
contained in the water—and this is the only way in which
the plant can feed.
Therefore, when you buy fertilizer, you should do so
with the idea of furnishing food for your crop and on the
same principle that you should purchase food for your
stock. It should not only contain the necessary Ammonia,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash, but above all else these
should be In soluble form—the mechanical condition
of the fertilizer should be such as to permit the plant to
absorb every particle of it, and the goods should be manu
factured from materials that will not give up their plant
food at one time, but furnish a steady supply throughout
the entire growing season.
This is the fertilizer you should have and can det—
in only one way. It is impossible to produce n goods like
this by the dry-mixing of raw materials, whether you do
this at home with a shovel and a screen or buy it from
someone who has made it the same way-Hhe only differ
ence being in the quantity.
These materials must be ground to a powder, and it re
quires machinery costing thousands of dollars to do it
properly. They must then be so manipulated that when
complete, you have a compound, each ounce of which is
exactly like every other ounce, and not a mixture, one
part of which would contain too much Ammonia and too
little Potash, while another part would be exactly the
opposite—and all of it contain plant food locked up and
not available.
Remember that the chemical analysis of a fertilizer is no
test of its crop growing qualities. The chemist can pul
verize lumps and by the use of various means search out
the plant food; your crop can’t.
You can take an axe, break open the box and get the
corn; your mule can’t.
Don’t risk a crop failure 1
