Barnesville
Tire following is a human interest
story which every farmer in Baldwin
Cm nty will do well to read and pon
der
There is no qtrestion but that we
are cursed with poor lend. For
years past our system of clean cul
tivate n and planting cotton on the
’amo land year nfier year has in;
pr verlshed the soil and redueced the
yield until in the present condition
of the land crops cannot be grown
profitably.
Resd how Mr. Drake has restored
the fertility of his land, and take a
leaf from is note book for your guid
ance in future.
Mr Wade Drake, who lives near
Anderson, Soutf.d Carolina has used
a greater variety of legumes and oth
er cover crops and has accomplished
more in the way of soil building than
any ether man in that part of the
country. He is now being followed
by many other geo farmers, -.vho
are adopting his methods in some
modified form, but Mr Drake bears
the distinction of being the first to
begin the work and proving its worth.
In 1909 Mr. Drake bought 200 acres
of poor run-down land, gullied and
scarred with abuse. He began to
plow it a little deeper and prepare
the soil better for his crops thereby
getting better yields than his neigh
bors. Then he turned under a few
crops of cow-peas, sowed quite a good
deal of small grain, and followed this
with peas In a few years Ills land
was producing more than double
what it was when he bought it. In
1914, 225 acres more were added to
the origins! tract. This was hand
led much as the other tract, hut Mr.
progress he was making in bringing
hack this soil, so he began to as
semble all of the information obtain
able about soil building and the best
methods of growing crops. He
reasoned that cow-peas were good
but if he could just add seme winter
crop to bis summer soil building
crops be would b did up bis soil much
faster. He knew that the leaching
of plant food from his field during
the winter was very great, so in ad
dition to poitting in a good system of
terraces, he planted rye and other
grains simply as a protection to the
soil during the winter. A little
later he heard of the soil building
qualities of hairy vetch, so lie tried
that lie inoculated the soil whore
he was planting vetch and followed
carefully other instructions which
he had obtained from different sour
ces, and to his surprise and gratifica
tion lie produced a good crop of
vetch The first errp was allowed
to seed on the land and then was
harvested for seed There were
enough seed left on the land to in
sure a perfect stand of volunteer
vetch the following fall, and with
the seed saved from this land many
more acres were seeded that fall. The
following spring, which was 1916,
many acres of vetch which would
have produced more than a ton per
acre, were turned under for fertili
zer. Many of his neighbors culled
him foolish, and even proposed to
cut apd haul the feed away if he
would give it to them, for they could
not bear to see so much feed “wast
ed”. During the following year Mr.
Drake has added crimson clover, vel
vet beans, burr clover, Abruzzi rye
and other crops to bis system of soil
building. Every acre of his land
produces n cover crop each year
which is turned under for enriching
the soil.
In speaking x f his work recently
to the question, "Why did you fall
upon this soil building practice?”*
Mr, Drake replied, “My land was so
pcor 1 could not produce a good crop
or get satisfactory returns for my
labor. I knew something had to
he dj- ne, so 1 started out to see what
I could do. 1 thought if peas were
good as a summer cover crop that if
1 could get a cover wop on the land
for the winter, which would be is
gl ;od as cow-peas are for the summer,
I would enrich my soil twice ns fast.
1 have found that crimson clover and
vetch will do this. They are adding
nitrogen and humus to my soil dur
ing the winter instead of the land
washing away."
I11 the beginntg Mr. IJrake was us
ing about 300 pounds of fertilizer per
acre and his yields were about a
half bale of cotton, fifteen bushels
of corn or fifteen bushels of oats.
By the methods outlined above this
same land has been brought up to a
high, state lot cultivation. During
the past few years this land has
averaged more than two tons of hay
per aero, fifty bushels of oats, twen
ty-five bushels ot wheat, fifty bush
els of corn, or a bale and half of cot
ton per acre- Fkr the year 1920,
which was favorable for crop pro
duction, this farm produced an aver
age of seventy bushels' of corn per !
acre, fifty bushels of oats, twenty-j
five bite els of wheat, and a tctal "of
197 bales of cotton on ICO acres. For
the 1920 crop an average of 600
pounds ot acid phosphate End cotton
se a d meal was used per acre, and
fifty p ttnils of ritrate of soda per
acie for cotton, applied just after 'the
cotton was chopped out. As a tost
on corn nitrate of soda was appliod
at t e rate of 600 tbs. per acre. -So
full 'cf ni.rogon ts this soil, no re
sults were obtained by tho u'Je of
even this heavy application of soda.
In connection with these crops, Mr.
Drake has used two tons of ground
limestone per acre on all of his culti-
vrted land. He is a strong believer
in the use of limestone.

COGS, CATS AD PARROTS

Little Bowcred Cottage ar.d Put
Out of Their Misery if Too
Sick to Recover.
Kansas City, Mo.—Would you be
willing to give more than half of youi
modest income to make life less rig
orous for suffering or 'neglected,. ani
mals?
Such Is the sacrifice being made hj
Miss Sarah and H. H. Jacobs of Kan
sas City, Kan., across 'the river from
here. And it is no mere passing
hobby, they have been doing this foi
the last quarter century. The Jacobs
are nationally known for their un
selfish work.
Living in ti little- cottage, surround
ed by rose bushes, bird bouses, flower
beds and fruit trees, these two have
consecrated their lives to ameliorating
the hardships visited upon man's often
neglected and abused companions.
H. H. Jacobs provides the income
by working as a bookkeeper on the
Missouri side, while Miss Sarah looks
after the home and its numerous pets.
And there ure many dogs in the
Jacobs borne—ten dogs, two score
cats, and two parrots. The care of
these pets, however, represents only a
minor part of the activities of the
two workers. Both are officers In the
Wyandotte County Humane society
and labor Incessantly to benefit ani
mal life through that source. With
all tills the Jacobs are not unmindful
of the needs of unfortunate children,
and even adults of their city, ns they
are active in the Associated Charities.
Miss Sarah, who was found at home
busy with her charges, said that her
first instruction in humane work
was when‘she was a little girl and
her father taught her that It was just
ns easy to step around an anthill us
to eruslL it with her heel.
Chloroform to Diseased.
While thoroughly orthodox in their
theology, the Jneobs believe firmly
that most of the sin and suffering In
the world 1ms followed man’s habit
of killing and abusing animals.
There is nothing mawkish about
their views, however.. Miss Surah,
ns president of the Humane society,
lias personally chloroformed hun
dreds of diseased, deformed and home
less animals.
“It sometimes Is expedient,” she
said, "to remove them to avert fur
ther suffering. When iti is neces
sary to put an nnimal to sleep, I al
ways utter a word of prayer, taking
full responsibility for the net.”
Most of tlie pets In the Jacobs home
Imve been brought there by persons
who have found them suffering in tlie
streets or were too poor to look after
them. Many carry a story of human
Interest, with sometimes a tragedy.
There Is Cinderella, who lias been
brutally wounded. The Jacobs decided
to chloroform the animal to relieve its
Intense suffering. Finally It struggled
over to the open fireplace and curled
up In the warm ashes. Soon It showed
signs of rallying and they concluded it
should live. It did recover. The inci
dent reminded them of the fairy story
of the little girl sitting in the ashes
and who Inter was able to wear the
glass slipper, and the spotted bound
became Cinderella.
Miss Jacobs told of a cat that saved
their lives. A leaky gas jet had filled
the house with fumes while they slept.
The eat mewed in vain and finally
leaped upon the bed and scratched
Miss Jacobs to a waking position anil
a realization of their danger.
Cat’s Interesting Career.
Yarrow, n cat with an interesting
career, was named after Mary Craige
Yarrow, a noted humane worker of
Philadelphia. This cat once was n
companion to n little boy. The boy
died and on the night of bis funeral
the nnimnl was carried away and
locked iu a freight enr bound for Ar
kansas. A fortnight later the cat re
turned home nearly starved. The
boy’s mother took It to the Jneobs
home.
Some of tlie animals of other days,
especial favorites who bad earned
gome mark of Uistiovtlyp, ar§ burled In
ttlie flower garden. There are n^
markers, save n stone border around
the grave of llermuno (Mexican for
brother). Ion? In the f uiilij. iiermano
had saved Miss Jacobs’ life in Texas
when a big rattler was about to strike
her." The dog pounced upon the snake
and received the poisonous bite. He
became blind, but lived many years.
Asked about the cost of pursuing
their humane work. Miss Jacobs said
It amounted .to. $(kK) or JTimi a year.
Slid' ’insisted, however,.- that 1h.1s did
not constitute n sacrifice, thnt they de
rived pleasure from It and preferred
to spend their money In this way, even
if It forced them to give up many
comforts.
