J. M. PURDOM, Agricultural and
;Satsumas Stood Severe Cold|
On Lane’s Chatham Farm
The Savannah News reports the
splendid manner in which Mr.
Mills B. Lane fifteen acre Satsuma
Orange farm stood the recent cold
snap. From it we gather.
The satsuma trees planted in
Chatham county have com= throu
the recent severe. cold spell with
flying colors and among the ten
acres of trees planted at Lebanon
Plantation, owned by Mills B. Lane
and not a tree has been lost,
This particular. aroye, which
bore its first fruit this winter is
the very best indicaiion of the
hardy resistance that the satsuma
‘makes to cold, because when it
was planted in 1923. it was just
hefore the coldest weather Savan
nah had experienced in twenty
tour years. The thermometer at
that time went down to thirteen
degrees. During th>.recent cold
spell the theremometer went
}twice to seventeen degrees in the
cily. { ‘
~ So splendid was the reaction of
the satsumas or: Mr, Lane’s planta
tion that fifteen acres more of this
citrus fruit were finished being
planted yesterday.
These whose experience with
the Satsuma oranges claim that
the quality ot the satsuma !'“.“'
this belt across Geogdia to be “bet
ter than the quality of the fruit
grown lower down inthe state and
in vpper Florida. Itseemsan un
usual condition, but a true one,
that thie farther north the satsuma
can grow the better the quality of
the fruit becomes.
i Mr. Lane's orehard bore fruit
the first time this sexson. The
planting was done four yeoars 2go,
Mr. Lane's orchard, which wnsi
finished yestercay, will bear fruit
in three years. He now has 23{
acres with £0 ftrees to the acre,
or a totalof 1,250 satsuma (:ees,
There are very likely to be s\;uwf
other plantings in Chatham coun
ty very soon. |
“With reasonable good care in
trimining the trees there was re
markable httle damage done the
trees on Mr, L:ne’s p'antation.
There was some foliage loss, but
Mr. Lane did not lose a single tree
From this experience in this 10-
calivv;, trees having had proper
care will stand a 10 degree tems
nerature without a loss.
H. H. Crews, Tax Receiver
Coming in late last week, the
Herald failed to mention the ap
nouncement of H, H. Crews for
re-election for the office of tax
receiver, Having served three
terms an‘l re-elected without op
position, it is hard for us to say
anything about Hardy, Every
one likes hin, he is accommodat
ing and tries hard to do Lis duly,
s 0 what else can one wish for in
an otficer?

- There has been a great deal of
’interest and discussion this year
as to what is the best variety of
tobacco. There is, hawever, a
number of things that exert a
greater influence on the final
quality and character of the tobac
co produced than the variety that
is planted.
Seasons have a controlling in
fluence, and as we cannot control
*he weather we must work to take
advantage of favorable seasonal
conditions as they oceur so as to
get the grestest possible benefit
from them, and when unfavorable
seasons come try to work in such
a manner as to modify their bad
effects,
I think that the cold weather
we are having this winter will be
adecided help to us. Nematodos
which cause root-knot, bacteria
and have been subjected to more
continuous cold weather this win
ter than is usually the case, and as
a result we might reasonably ex
pect damage from tnose sources
lo be accordingly lessened, But
we must remember that even with
the cold weather we have had the
soil’has not been frozen very
deeply, and where land has not al
ready been plowed 1 beleve that
it is advisable tu plow it as early
as possible, so that the lower soil
4 A f"m ( .Mr; 4., xi L
Another factor which I think
has very great influence on the to
bacco crop is the amount of hum-.
us that is in the soil. The benefi
cial results thut are obtained from
‘thc usc of only small amounts of
stable manure strikingly illustrate
ithe good effect that disintegrating
or decomposing vegetable matter
(humus) has on the crop. Ithink
that where it is possible to obtain
[it the use of one to three twa
horse wagonloads of stable man
!ure per acre will greatly improve
the changes of making q good
; crop of nobacco.
Practically nore of our soils
have sufficient humus in them for
maximum crop production, and in
many cases our system of farming
is steadily depleting the small
amount that is in them. Ope of
! aur most practical means of keep
ing up the supply of humus is the
plowing under of crop residuos
such as stalks. grass, bean vines,
ete,, and [ think it is a very grave
mistake to burn or rake such
materials off ot the land. The
material is so essential to soil fert
ility that even if considerable
work is required to cut it up with
stalk cutters and harrows to
get it in condition to plow under
’it should by a!l means be done.
Humus in the soil contributes
an elements towards soil fertility
that cannot be replaced with com
mercial fertilizer, It presents in
the soil makes the use of commer
cial fertilizers, even in larger quan
tities. more profitable' and its
complete absence would so reduce
the produclivity of the soil that I
doubt whether sulficient crop
yields could be obtained to pay
for the costof comumercial fertil
zers,
