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- ■ I Ml.

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.

Office in Home Building. May 1st—l-yr. DR. EDWARD ~ ft TIGNER Deny Suroeon. 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.
