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 Is a - follows: Cotton and cotton seed, 13 and 1-2 acres $651.44 763 bushels oats at 55c per bush el, 22 acres 495.95 355 bushels corn at 90 cents per bushel, 18 acres, 319.50 5,625 pounds of fodder at $1 per hundred 66.25 14 tons of hay at $16 per ton.. 224.00 32 bushels of peas at $2 per bu. 64.00 The following was turned Into dor mitory. or dormitory fund: 2,988 pounds of pork at 9c ...$268.92 2 hogs for pork not butchered nt Christmas 26.00 54 bushels of Irish potatoes at 60c per bushel 45.60 41 bushels of ruta bngas at 90c per bushel 36.00 Other vegetables of all kind fur nished the dormitory .. 60.00 The poultry yards furnished the dormitory 43,35 Americus the Mecca to Which Many Come.

Day Phone 523 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.

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. Flatter a man If you want him to have Implicit faith In your judgment.

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.
