CHARLTON COUNTY HERALD YOI Xl.-=NO. 7. THE LOCAL PAPER. A Powerful Influence For Good : Inlt's Community. The iufluence of the moden news paper and periodical on the thought and character of the community in which it circulates 1s vastly greateml than most people who give it a cas- | wul thouzht may realize. ;i . There never has beer a reform of amy magritude successfully carried ‘cut without-the help of the newspa pers, and a radical change in the policy of a party or goverment along r:form lines 1s never undertaken un til that reform has been forced upon it by popular sentiment expressed througzh the paper's column’s, Popular sentiment produces re form and that sentiment is produc ed by the newspapers. So we see tlat the newspaper 1s at the bottom of al} reforr movements. This is true of all rightly conducted journal ism, but is doubly true of the local or country daily or weekly, and for thesc reasons: The large metronolitan dailies, - with their enormous circulations, are mainly read by business men . and a large percentage of these men rarelv, if ever glance at an editorial, The papers are largely left in car seats or thrown into waste baskets, ~and the proportion which reach the ~ tamily fireside is small, and these “are simply scanned for sensationil! news, ond the editorials are over looked by the ladies of the family al most entirel y.~ | . Now, how différent it is ‘with the local weekly paper! -It js read tgp;T huttum and sider by e\'erG)\ mfie‘mb‘e}f _of the family and garticularly by %fl@nflw%fik‘“ arfi:a read, L 35 e ’_‘ «,.,ip» '.: ~‘-;' the community largely gathers its ~wpigions [rom the tone of the ar ticles. : 74 | The women of a community have much greater weight in shaping the “policy of that section than they are usually given credit for. Itis in very many respects the case of the gray masce being the better horse) ‘ and you will nzarly always find them on the right side, opposing to gratt and wrongiloing and fighting' for the pare in life. The local paper helps them t> understand political and so - cial questions and to act and taik intelligently in relation to them, and through the women of the house hold a tremendous influence is ex _erted on the voters of that house hold. I'his is larzely the reason that a locality like that covered by these papers is so ciean politically. Who ever heard of graft or flagrant cases of wrongdoing in the towns covered by’ thes¢ papers. And we rather flatter ourselves that these papers and the influence they exert have done much to keep the district pure and clean. . % Qur readers have always found us “in the past arrayed on the side of ‘good government. Regardiess of any on2’s feelings, we aiways speak out in public meetings on all public questions vital to the interests of our towns, and we propose to stand on the same plutform, 1 But it is the strangest thing that the borrowers of the local paprr! 7.’,-73‘6%7?8,’_3‘1'?'.‘1“m’“‘“ds upon an ed~‘ itor than a regular sulscribzr.

I'he weekly country paper has the best interests of the community at at heart and wants to and does serve the public, but it, in turn, must be supported Those that have a busi ness in a town should advertise the local paper. ‘Thatis the thing that makes a paper pay.

State College of Agr. | ) Attention is trequentl; called to the difficulty experienced by farm ers 1n securing a good yield of grain, from the cowpea one year with an other. A large crop of vines is ob tained practically every year, and there is a sufficient amcunt of leaf and stem to_bear and apparently mature into a large amount of grain, but for some reason the pode fail to form. This trouble has been attri buted to the east wind, to planting in the wrong time of the moon, and to other things which could have bnt little influence on crop yield, as investigations have now clearly dem onstrated. Observation and conversation with farmers indicate that in Inost instances they are ouly using about 200 pounds per acre cf a fertilizer containing z per cent of nitrogen, 8 per cent of phosphoric acid and 2 per cent of potash. It will be seen at once that this fertilizer is supply ing a minimum amount of plant food so little, in fact, fact, that it can only have a slight effect upon crop troduction. The cowpea being a ileguminous crop is supposed to gather its nitrogen from tne air, and under mast conditions, it does so. Since phospoates and potash are re quired by the cowpea crop m large quantities, and are not contained ia 3ugg:x‘s;fi}zbcf in lgfie qufir{titigs;‘ and fréquently not ina readily avail some other source: .. . "To show the heayy draft made on the soil by the cowpea with respect to these two elements, it is only necessary to state thata crop yield ing two tons of hay would remove from an acre of land approximately 21 pounds of phospboric acid and 59 pounds of potash. It will be seen that in applying 200 pounds of a 2-8-2 fertilizer provision has been magle for about three-fourths of the phosphates needed and one fifteenth of the fiotash_. It should not be forgotten thatl the power to mature grain of any, sced-bearing crop is dependent large ly on the supply of phosphates; hence the necessity of supplying this element in liberal quantity and in an easily assimilated form, The direct action of this element on grain production being so well re-| cognizep, is it not clear to all] rationally thinking persons thati the failurz to supply the required commercial elements in liberal a mount is largely responsible for the‘ low yieled of grain from the cow pea plant. It is certain that suffii cient fertilizer has aot been applied in the past to supply the needs of the crop, and hence if the season is a little unfavorable, a poor yield of grain results. To insure the cow pea crop being reasonably supplied ‘with the needed plant food, 1t would be advisable to use a fertilizer which ‘ would contain at least 200 pounds of acid phosphate, of which 16 per ‘ centwould be available, or 32 pounds, ‘ \ To supply the potash at least 100 pounds of muriate or 400 pounds of ikainit would be repuired. A mix ture, therefore, containing roo Ibs. lof cotton seed meal, 200 pounds of acid phosphate and 50 pounds of muriate of potash would provide a satisfactory fertilizer for cowpeas. This fertilizer would analyze approximatelyz percent of nitrogen, 9.7 percent of phosphoric acid and 7.7 perceat of potash, and when applied at the rate of 350 pounds per acre would add suffiiciency of the necessary elements to the soil 'to insure a large and profitable crop lof both hay and grain. | Athens, Ga., Andrew M.
