HKKl> OP MORE IIAKRU'K ROOM.
The cadet barracks is fillet) to the limit
with more applications for rooms. But
for the fact that the cadet brothers
Preetorius from Statesboro are on
furlough, on account of their mother’s
very serious illness, some arrangement
would now be needed to]accomodate the
boys who have entered [school within
the past few days. Tbe building is now
crowded to its utmost capacity. Not
another boy can be taken there.
This exigency will be met by placing
some of the cadets in the main building.
Some '.on or more can be thus accomo
dated. This is at best a makeshift and
would not be resorted to except for the
over-ciowded condition of the barracks.
The ro ms in the main building that will
be utilized for cadet quarters, are large
and comfortable. They make admirable
rooming apartments. But it is exceed
ingly objectionable to turn any part of
the college building Into a dormitory.
All this simply means that the bar-

racks must be enlarged before the be
ginning of another session. The in
quiries that are constantly coming
about the school, the frequent requests
for catalogues, and the applications for
rooms a half-year in advance of the
opening, point unmistakably to , the
necessity for large accomodations. In
his next annual report President Rey
nolds intends to lay this question before
the Board of Trustees.
The situation is even now acute. If
boys can not be accomodated, and
furnished the (facilities for | success
fully pusuing their studies here, it
means the school will suffer loss of
prestige and loss of patronage.
Just now the school is on the eve of
unexampled prosperity. But as readily
seen, this growth in popular favor
creates a crisis in its affairs. What
good comes of this popularity of the
facilities arc lacking to house and teach
the boys who are seeking entrance? To
build up the school in public confidence is
utterly futile, will even do injury in the
long run, unless there is expansion to
meet the increasing demand by youths
seeking preparatory training You
can’t put a bushel of potato, in a half-
bushel measure. The barracks must
bo enlarged.
THE play selected.
The G. M. C. Players Club have
chosen the play they prospose to offer the
local public early in March, and will
soon begin its rehearsal. ‘‘A Rival by
Request” is the significant title of the
piece, which is a sprightly Comedy of
three ucts. There are five female
characters, double the numb.ir in the
other play—exactly the number in Mias
Topsy—and six male characters, every
character is good and gives scope for
strong acti ig.
Mr. Reynolds has consented to act
as director and will have charge of all
rehearsals, the staging of the play, and
other details incident to its presentation.
Misses Jones, Maxwell, Bethune, Cline
Horne, each of whom starred in "Miss
Topsy,” will assume the several female
roles. The gentlemen in the play have
nearly all had experience in speaking and
in acting and will sustain their parts
with naturalness and forced. •
"A Rival by Request” bids fair to
prove an even greater success than
! ‘Topsy Turvy,”|whtch is enough to su £
the keenest anticipations from the Mill-
edgevillc public.

Lay by early. More com is injured
by late plowing tnan by lack of plow
ing. This is when the ear is hurt. Two
good rains after laying by should make
you a good crop of corn, and it will
certainly make with much less rain
than was required in the old way.
The stalks thus raised are very small
and do not require anything like the
moisture even in proportion to size that
isneeessary for large sappy stalks.
They may, therefore, be left much
thicker in the row. This is no new pro
cess. It has long been a custom to cut-
I ack vines and trees in order to in
crease the yield and quality of fruit;
and so long as you do not hold hack
your com, it will go, like mine so long
went, all to stalk.
Do not be discouraged by the looks of
your corn during the process of cultiva
tion. It will yield out of all proportion
to its appearance. Large stalks cannot
make large yields,except with extreme
ly favorable seasons, for they cannot
stand a lack of moisture. Early appli
cations of manure go t? make large
stalks, which you do not want, and the
plant food is all thus used up before the
ear, which you do want, Is made. Tall
stalks not only will not produce well
themselves, but will not allow you to
make the pea vines, so necessary to the
improvement of land. Corn raised by
this method should never grow over
seven and one ha>f feet high, and the
ear should be near to the ground.
I consider the final application of ni
trate of soda an assential point in this
ear-making process. It should always
he applied at last plowing and unmixed
with other fertilizers.
1 am stisfied with one ear totheatalk,
unless prolific variety is planted, und
leave a nundred stalks for every bush
el that I expect to make. 1 find the
six-foot row easier to cultive without
injuring the corn. For fifty bushels to
the acres,I leave it sixteen inches apart,
for seventy-five bushels to the acre,
twelve inches apart, and for one hun
dred bushels, eight inches apart. Corn
should be planted from four to six inches
below the level, anJ hid by from four to
six inches above. No hoeing should be
necessary, and middles may be kept
clean until time to break out, by using
harrow or Dy running one shovel furrow
in center o( middle and badJing on that
with one or more rounds of turn plow.
1 would advise only a few acres tried
by this method the first year, or until
you are familiar with ita application.
Especially is it hard, at first, to fully
carry out the stunting process, where a
whole crop is involved, and this is tho
absolutely essential part of the process.
This method I have applied, success
fully, to all kinds of land in this section
except wet lands and moist bottoms,
and I am confident it can be made of
great benefit throughout the entire
South.
In the middle West, where corn is so
prolific and profitable and where, unfor
tunately for us, so much of ours has
been produced,the stalks does naturally
grow large. As we como South its size
increases, at tho expense of the ear,
until in Cuba and Mexico, it is nearly
all stalk (witness Mexican varieties.)
The purpose of this method is to
eliminate this tendency of corn to over
growth at tho expense of yield, in
this Southern climate.
By this method 1 have made my corn
crop more profitable than my cotton
crop, and my neighbors and fridnds who
adopted it hove, without ex »ecption,de
rived great bmiffii th-refrom.
1’lant your own see 1 and metho I the
same yoar. us you will not then know
from which you have derived the benefit,
have used three varieties, am)
all have done well. I have’never used th s
methodfor planting. In fact, I do not ad
visc^the late planning of corn,unless it le
necessary for cold lowland*.
The increased cost of labor and th:
high price of all material and land are
rapidly making farming unprofitable,
except to those wh 1 are getting from
one acre what they formcly got from
two. We must make our land richer
by plowing deep, planting peas and
other legumes manuring them with acid
phosphate and potash, which are rel
atively cheap, and returning to the soil
the resultant vegetable matter rich in
humus and expensive nitrogen. The
needs of our soil are such that the South
can never reap the full measure of
prosperity that should be hers until this
is done.
I gave this method as a farmer to the
farmers of the South trusting that
thereby they may|be benefited as I have
been. E. .Uclver Williamson.
