As the negro population of those

of the problem: what are we to do
to render the existence of two un
mergible races living together in the

friction? Springfieid proves con
clusively that the right of intermar

to maintain it must result in the an

therefore, not only cruel to our own
color but & crime against the blacks
to tolerate upon the statute books a

The soil is made up of thousands®
of little grains, and the finer thefi
grains are the greater the power

other and lift it close to the surfa'réi
of the soil where it may be utilizeé%
by the growlng crop or permitted t&i

the skill and ingenuity exercised byi
the farmer in the cultivation of his
land. Since plants can only tak‘ei
their food up when dissolved in
water, the importance «of the soil
being in good physical éofi?fitiotii
becomes instantly apparent,. It is]
easy to see that a soil which is in a
lampy, rough condition can nqtj
absorb and hold the proportion »~;
water necessary to tide over droughts
periods, and to Cunvey the flanfi
food, which may be added to the
soil in a soluble form to the r‘b,(atsr‘,{
of growing plants. Hence, it fre:

year to year through the corroding
action of plant roots, through fer
mentation resulting from the free
movement of air through the soil,
and by the dissolving action of the
water surrounding the soil pdrticles.
Land that is only cultivated thtee
inches can not absorb and hold
moisture; neither can the air readily
penctrate 1t to do its work in setting
free plant tood. It is needles to
point out that the roats of plan‘tsf
can not forage through it in every
direction to drink np the mineral
laden moisture of the soil and s 0
build up their tissues with rapidity.!
For these reasons the mere applica
tion of commercial fertilizers with
out proper soil cultivation will nev
er prove a profitable practice, and
and accounts for a majority of the
failures to obtain a profitable return
from the use of fertilizers so fre

yet with a determining influence
this matter of cultivation has on
crop production and on the proper
utilizatien of the larger or smaller
stores of commercial plant food
which may be added to the soil
from time to time. Itis necessary
that we add nitrogen, phosphates
and potash to the great majority of
our soils in liberal amounts in or

from, but it is folly to depend on
fertilizers to do a work which they
simply have no ability to perform.
The farmer must understand that
the direction of his energy towards
putting the land in proper physical
condition is as much a part of suc
cessful crop production as the meré
application of commercial plant
food. &
