State Coll. ot Agr. . ‘ The soil is made up of thousands® of little grains, and the finer thefi grains are the greater the power the soil to hold moisture since %@l forms a film around each little indr lviduai sgil grain. Moreover, thé isoil particles, the smaller the open%“j }ipg between them, and henreflfm” power offthe soil to draw momtutfi; from one section of the land to an~ 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 escape into the air, according t°§ 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: gnently occurs that a large ar;npujgf., of fertilizer added to & soil in bat L physicai condition®s never brought in comtact »dfir_ffl\e sgrowing rofi?s;f and fails 10 beuefit the erop Hores over, it was never anticipated mxx even advocated by the strongest be liever in commercial fertf]iis;i‘-sffik'i they should supply she entite needs! of the growing crop.

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 quently mentioned oy farmers, = ‘This picture of the situation is not overdrawn, yet it emphasizes very clearly Low great has been the neg lect of putting the soil in a proper physical condition by deep, thor# ough and peisistent cultivation, and 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 der to gather profitable crops there. 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. & September Ist, 1908, i Athens, Georgia.

She has been born a woman, she feels the diadem upon her temples; therefore, ‘‘noblesse oblige.” The Augusta Herald says; ¢ln Montclair, N, J, William Damm’s horse ran away and injured a man and a boy, while Mrs. Damm faint ed from fright.
