A mighty battle is raging at Port Arthur. The United States expects fur ther trouble with Turkey. The Russian warships at Shanghai will be put out of busi ness all right, either io the har bor or just outside. The United States intervenes for Russian Jews. much gratified to observe tbe proposed movement. In Geor gia the point of pressure in edu cation is in the High school. The recent enlargment of the fund for common schools shows that the state will make provision for them. Emory College, Mercer University and theState Univer sity, make provision for tbe higher education. Tbe reason why more boys do not go to col lege is because so few are pre pared in the* highschools for college. Your plan to add industrial features and to pay attention to physical culture, increases the excellence of the scheme aa a whole. - ' With best wishes for the suc cess ot the movement, I am Yours very truly, Walteu B.

Nothing is so essential to good farming as to keep the soil in use all tbe time. A bare uncul tivated soil is losing fertility by having ihe soluble plant rood it contains washed down into the subsoil out of reach. of plant roots. The growing’plant takes up the soluble food and holds it, building it up Into' the organic compounds that make the plant This is especially true ot the ni trates, the most valuable of all plant food from a financial _poiut of view. Just now the wheat and oat field are having their crops re- moved, leaving them void of veg o tat ion. This can be remedied by disking and redisking, -sow ing to some crop, as rape, millet, early corn or cow peas. These can be removed in autumn, the. second disking again and a win ter crop sown. These catch summer feed and keeps the ground occupied. — Industrial Union Asaodstad Press, Tien Tsing, Aug. 28.—It ia res ported from New CHwang that the Russians are detaining tbe iuterior.
