SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For June 8, 1924 —Ezekiel Encouraging the Captives.
Ezek. 34 Psa. 137
[V BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
When Jehoiachim was carried
into captivity in the year 597 B. C.,
Ezekiel was one of those deported
to Babylon with him. This, as we
learned last week, was eleven years
before the City of Jerusalem fi ally
fell and the nation subdued; but it
had such an, important bearing on
the history of the nation that
Ezekiel dated all of his prophesies
from that event.
Ezekiel was at that time 25 years
old. Five years later (Ezek. 1: 1-, 2)
when he was thirty years old, he re
ceived his call to prophesy. Being
a priest, of the Levitical order, this
was most significant, for thirty years
of age was the time when Levites be
gan their priestly function. This
is all the more significant when we
recall that Jesus was thirty years
of age when he began his public
ministry as the Messiah.
For six years Ezekiel’s messages
were to the people already in captiv
ity (and through them to some ex
tent to the peoples still in Jerusalem)
warning them against believing the
, false prophets who were telling them
that their beloved city could not be
taken. Os course, they did not. want
think the worst, but Ezekiel con-
BBnually warned them that it. was
■t-vl's will that Jerusalem should
Wall and that the people be taken
captive because they persisted in
x their sins. With these warnings he
also urged them to repent.
Often these messages were given
in the most striking way. He would
lie on his left side a part of the
day for 390 days and eat only 20
sheckles of food cooked oyer a fire
mad” of human or animal refuse in
■order to impress the truth that he
was trying to give them that there
would be 390 days of the iniquity of
Israel; then on his right side for 40
'days to show the 40 years, that
Judah was to suffer. One day he
took a tile, and drew on it a map
of Jerusalem, and then made toy
soldiers and laid siege to it—show
ing them in model >what would hap
pen in reality. Another time he put
on clothes for a. long march and
slipped out of his by night,
to show that’the people yet at home
"would have to take a long march
and their.king would march in blind
ness—which you remember was ac
complished afterwards, in Zedekiah’s
case. Once he shaved his hair and
"beard and weighed it in three parts,
one of which he burned, another he
cut up with'a knife, and the third
he scattered to the winds to show
them what would happen to the peo
ple still at Jerusalem.
Perhaps one of the most terrible
trials to him was a sermon that he
h;jd to preach out of his own life.
We must not get the idea that those
who had been deported were kept
in prisons or bound in chains. They
had homes; they were engaged in
business. At Tel-abib by the river
Chebar, where Ezekiel lived, arch
aeologists have recently discovered a
large department store doing busi
ness under the name of “Murashu &
Sons,” and along with this many
other signs bearing Jewish names.
Ezekiel himself lived in his own
house (ch. 8:1), to which elders of
the congregation came, thus showing
that they had been allowed to pre
serve their organization. He was
happily married and was so devoted
to his wife that he speaks of her
as “the desire of thine eyes.” One
day the word of Jehovah came to him
telling him that his wife, the desire
of his eyes, »would be taken away
from him suddenly and that he must
not show any signs of mourning for
her. ‘‘So I spake, unto the people
in the morning as I was commanded.”
(ch. 24:19). He was thus to show
how suddenly Jerusalem, the desire
of their eyes, was to be taken from
them; and that their woe had gone
beyond the point of mourning-.
These messages the people refused
to believe, but six years after he
be gan his ministry in Tel-abib the
news was brought that Jerusalem
had fallen, the king’s sons were
killed., the king blinded and on his
way to Babylon as a captive. All of
Ezekiel’s words had come true. This
brings us in the book to ch. 33, which
marks a distinct division of it in two.
All of the prophecies after this were
of a different tone and type. In
stead of warning them now, he be
gins to encourage the people and to
Inspire them with the hope that they
will be returned to their own dear
land at some time.
And they needed encouragement.
All that they held dear had been lost,
and they were sad indeed. Perhaps
their feelings may best ba appreci
ated by studying one of the songs
that has been left us. Music and
song, being the most effective
mrthpds of expressing the heart’s
elisions, are good indices as to what
IljjAteart is experiencing. (This be-
.it is sad ot think of what
the succeeding generations will think
of this generation, judging it by its
horrible cartoon of music—jazz!) The
137th Psalm grew out of the ex
periences of the captives in Babylon.
‘By the rivers of Bay lon. there we
sat. down and wept, when we remem
bered Zion.”
Fertility all around them, luxuriant
growth and fruitfulness on the banks
and streams and in the?countries fed
by it—this was the sight that greeted
t.heir eyes every day: and amidst this
their thoughts turned to their be
loved Zion and thought of the deso
lated cities, the unworked fields, the
forsnken houses, the barren wastes.
No wonder they wept when they re-
HUSBAND SAID

East, Hardwick, Vermont.—“ Last
winter I was not able to do any work
at all. I had back
ache, headache,
sideache, and was
sick all the time
for six months.
We read about
Lydia E. Pink

membered Zion. They had no song
in their hearts and therefore hanged
their harps on the willows growing
on the banks of Babylon’s streams.
And the travesty of it was their
captors required of them songs, pay
ing, sing us one of the songs of
Zion!
How could they sing under those
conditions? And particularly one of
the Lord's songs? What would
these heathen who knew .not God
know if they sung to them, "The
Lord is my shepherd, I shall not
■ want,’’ or “I was glad when they
: said unto me, let us go into the
house of the lord.” or How lova
ble are thy tabernacles, O, Jehovah
of hosts,” or "Blessed is he whose
transgression is forgiven, whose sin
is covered; blessed is the man unto
whom the Jord imputeth not in
iquity,” or “As the hare panteth
. after the water brooks, so panteth
• my soul after thee, O, God”?
What would some bobbed-haired
bandit appreciate in such a song as
“In the secret of His presence how
my soul delights to hide,” or “I
come to the garden alone, when the
dew is still on tht? roses,” or "I will
walk and talk with the King"?
No, they could not sing the
Lord's songs in a strange land, so
| they wept instead, and hung their
harps on the willows.
But the luxury all around them
did not make them forget Jerusalem.
“If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let
my right hand forget; if I do not
remember thee, let my tongue
cleave to the roof of my mouth.”
Then the thought of their beloved
city and its present desolation re
minded them of its enemies and how
Edom had said: Raze it, raze it to
the ground. That stirred all the bit
terness in their hearts at the
thought of what Babylon had done
to it. Then they remembered what
Isaiah had said about Babylon; “The
glory of the Chaldees excellency
shall be as when God overthrew
Sodom and Gomorrah,” and they
cried out; “O, daughter of Babylon,
who art to be destroyed; happy shall
he be that rewardeth thee as thou
hast served us! Happy shall he be
that taketh and dasheth thy little
ones against the stones.”
Os course, this sentiment is so
utterly foreign to what Christians
with the light that streams from the
Cross of Calvary have been taught,
that we can hardly appreciate it.
But try to put yourself jn their
places then without any of that
light, and suffering as they were!
It is to these people, these sad
dened, captive, suffering, embitter
ed peopld, that Ezekiel comes with
his messages of encouragement and
hope and cheer. Their pitiable con
dition was partly the result of their
leadership. They had shepherds,
but they had been false shepherds.
Instead of leading them and feed
ing them, their shepherds had fed
on them—they had eaten the fat,
had clothed themselves with the
wool, the diseased they had not
strengthened, neither had they
healed the sick or bound up the
wounded, nor brought again that
which was driven away, nor sought
that which was lost. The flock had
been sefdtered because the shep
herds hdd forsaken them.
Against these false shepherds
Ezekiel speaks God’s word of denun
ciation; and in contrast with what
they had been He tells them what He
will do. He will be to them a shep
herd. A careful study of this part of
his massage shows that God states
35 thirtgs that He will do —search,
seek, deliver, bring them out, bring
them in, feed them, make them to
lie down, seek the lost, bind up the
brokenhearted, etc. You can imag
ine what balm to their hearts would
be such a message as this: "I will
gather them from the countries and
will bring them to their own land,
and feed them upon the mountains
of Israel. I dull feed them in a good
pasture, and ■ upon the high moun
tains of Israel shall their fold be. As
they sat down by the rivers of Baby
lon and wept when they remembered
Zion, it would be good news to know
that God would bring them to those
very mountains of Zion to have an
abiding place.
But the best promise of all, and the
one upon which all the others de
pend, is this one: And I will set up
One Shepherd over them, and He
shall feed them, even my servant
David. And I the Lord will be their
God. and my servant David a. prince
among them. Now David had been
dead many hundreds of years; yet
this promise is future, on ahead of
them, He could not therefore have
any reference to David himself, but
1 to the Seed of David, the Son of
i David through whom the blessings
I were to come. We learned last week
i that there was only one person in
i all history who has fulfilled the nec-
I essary conditions, and this one is
! Jesus, the Son of David through
' Mary His mother; the legal son of
Joseph of the royal line of David;
| and yet the Son of God. Israel re
i jected Him when He came as their
I King. He claimed to be the Good
j Shepherd who would feed His flock.
I who would do for them everything
that had been promised as the work
of the True Shepherd, and more. Yet
they had rejected Him.
Ezekiel, however, looked forward
to the time—he had no idea how long
it. would be—when the valley of dry
bones would be made full of life be
cause of the power of the Spirit of
God upon them. He saw the time
I when Israel and Judah would he join
ed together and be no longer divided,
but an united, nation. He saw the
time when the nations of the world
should gather in battle at Gog and
Magog against the King of Kings
and Lord of lords, and the conquered
by Him. Read the closing verses of
Ezek. 39 and see the wonderful vic
tory toward which Ezekiel looked,
and towards which we still look. And
then glance over the vision of the re
stored temple with its magnificent
dimensions and glories, and its
i crowning glory—Jehovah sham
j mah. the Lord is there!
I Can you imagine what encourage-
• ment such messages as these gave
jto the exiles in Babylon? And yet
j 70 years later less than 50.000 of
i them tak e advantage of their op
| portunity to return.
Ait! here's the reason: the fulfill
! ment of the words of God in the
' old book are not to be realized until
• Jesus comes back. When God sets
• up the One Shepherd, even His serv.
ant David: when He gives them a
Prince to dwell among them; then
I they shall have no fear and shall
| turn to Him and follow, like a flock.
! the Good Shepherd wherever He

O sad hearted one. have you been
: defeated by your arch-enemy, the
devil? Are you in captivity in a

sing, when your heart is well-nigh
broken? Hav e false shepherds fleeced
you. and left you to die and suffer

Dear Children; Here are some
important and interesting dates for
June:
June, 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee,
in the second continental congress,
moved the resolutions of independ
ence. I suppose you know when it
is said that a person “moves the
resolutions,” it means that that per
son made a motion before that body
that a particular resolution should
be adopted or accepted.
June 24, 1775, the provisional nav
al committee of the second conti
nental congress moved “to invite
John Paul Jones, Esquire, gent., of
Virginia, master mariner, to lay be
fore the committee such information
and advice as may seem to him use
ful in assisting the said committee
to discharge its labors.” John Paul
Jones’ response marked the begin
ning of his services to the colonies,
services so important that Jones
was henceforth known as the
“founder of the American navy.”
June 25. 1876. General George A.
Custer and his force of over 300 cav
alrymen were slain by the Sioux In
dians, commanded by Sitting Bull,
in the valley of Little Big Horn,
Montana.
June 30, 1921, ex-President Wil
liam Howard Taft was nominated
and confirmed as chief justice of
the United States supreme court. I
If you will remember these dates,
you’li find that at some time you

*They are both beautiful places in the sum- j

■ Dear Folks: There are so many
things I’d like to discuss with you
this week, but I’ve just received
two such good recipes that I’m go
ing to give you those, instead of
taking the space for my chats.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Banana Pie
3 bananas, 1-3 cupful flour, 3-4
cupful sugar, 3-4 cup of boiling wa
ter, 1 tablespoon butter, 1-4 tea
spoon vanilla, 2 eggs, 1-8 teaspoon
full salt, 6 tablespoons sugar. Line
a medium-sized pie plate with pas
try, and bake. Meanwhile cream to
gether the 3-4 cupful sugar, butter
and add the egg yolks, beaten slight
ly, the flour and boiling - water, and
cook in a double boiler, stirring con
stantly until thick; cool and add va
nilla. Peel bananas and slice; place
layer in bottom of pastry shell.
Spread with a layer of cream, then
another of bananas, and tap with
filling. Make meringue of egg
whites and the six spoons of sugar.
Miriam: There is a store in At
lanta carrying Ihe elastic head bands
that are used either when you wish
to go motoring without your hat, or
when you are playing tennis, or oth
er outdoor sports. These come in
various colors, and may be had cither
with or without the netted head cap.
The prices for the band without cap
range *from 50 cents up, the other
accordingly. Send me a stamped ad
dressed envelop and I’ll gladly send
you name of firm.
Jim: Jt is your place to commu
nicate with the girl whosexescort you
are to be. How else woulu she know
that you were coming for her? Just
drop her a note saying how glad you
are that her name has been given
you, and express your pleasure at
having been with her when you tell
her goodnight.
Mother: I, personally, do not like
bloomer dresses on girls that are
over eleven years of age.
Golden Curls: The neW shade,
"Powder Blue,” should be most be
coming to you. The dresses piade
straight from shoulder to hem, with
fullness introduced on the sides, and
with narrow ties at the side, are most
becoming; for ginghams, you can
put the circular flounces or tiers on
the voiles, if that much fullness is be
coming to you. The slightly fulled
ruffles of laces, say three or four
rows around neck and sleeves, are
most becoming, I think you are too
old and too big to wear the short
hose. Either one of the cunning
little scoop-shaped hats, the same
shade as your dress, black or sand
or gray, with clusters of small flow
ers. would be sweet. No, I do not
think you are too stout.

ones, that looks blue and hazy almost all
I lie lime. I love these big mountains, there's
something majestic and appealing about
them to me. and now I'tn getting poetical.
I'll be saying verses to you all next and
the Lord only knows I don't want to. But
joking aside, cousins, the natural scenery
around my home is beautiful. 1 love the
south and you know they say that Georgia
is the fairest Daughter of the South. Forgive
me if J rave, but I'm very fond of my home
land. I will tell you all ot some ot the in
teresting pictures I have in my albums.
Most of ’em were made in California. First
1 will tell you about. Ventura Mission; it is
said to be the oldest tn the world to be in
use. It was erected in 1783, and the walls
are not even cracked nor crumbled. I have
two shots of this mission, front and back.
I have a picture of Santa Barbara mission,
it’s not as old as Ventura but much pret
tier. I have some of Arrowhead lake. Ice
House canyon. White Point (with ocean in
distance), Vridal Veil falls, seaside camps
at Ventura, Cal. Some made at Big Bear
lake, one of Mirror lake, made at sunrise
with Mount Watkins showing in lake, a
cabin in Mariposa, big trees overhanging
rock at. Glacier Point (Yosemite valley),
Half Dome, taken from Glacier Point,
Merced river taken from Happy Isle bridge..
I have pictures of Nevada falls and Vernal
falls taken from opposite sides of valley.
The best of all scenery is the Yosemite
falls, the highest in the world, a drop of
2,800 feet and a picture of the Liberty Bell.
I have- Just lots of other poses made in
Hollywood and Los Angeles, Cal. I have a
real cute one of Mary and Doug Fairbanks'
bungalow. I wish all you cousins could see
my collection of kodak pictures. I have
three albums and a big box full. Please,
cousins, send me some from Florida and
other places. Well, I will be going for this
time and if I'm admitted I'll come again
and fell you of my "Ideal Wife." Wouldn't
that be thrilling? And also a Leap Year pro
posal I ran into this week. Write to me,
cousins. Just BILL SNOW.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
Should a- Girl Be Married by the
Time She’s Twenty-one ?—The
Middle-Aged Wife Who Is
Married to the Village Cut
up The Disappointed
Husband Who Expect
ed to Reform Wife
After Marriage
DEAR MISS DlX—Should a
girl be married by the time
she is twenty-one? All of my
girl friends are married or engaged,
and they seem to think that after
a. girl has reached her twenty-first
birthday she has no prospects and
is hopeless.
I have had
two opportuni
ties to marry,
but 1 refused
them because I
was not in love
with either of
the men. J hnd
to leave college
in my second
year because of
two deaths in
my family. I
can resume my
studies this fall
if I so desire,
but all the girls
with whom 1
Z v w
chummed have left college and got
ten married. What, do you advise
me to do? DORIS.
Answer:
I think that it would make im
measurably for the stability of mar
ri.tge if no girl married under twen
ty-three or four. Certainly no girl
should marry under twenty-one, so
you are just coming to the marriage
able Age, instead of being beyond it.
I get thousands upon thousands
of letters frbm miserable wives and
at least 90 per cent of these begin
by saying, “I married when I was
sixteen or seventeen years old when
I was too young to know what I was
doing. My husband and I have noth
ing in common, and I have fallen in
love with another man who is my
ideal.”
That is the almost inevitable se
quence of early marriages. By the
time the girl-wife is grown up she
Is tired of the boy of her youthful
fancy. She is tired of the drudgery
of matrimony, thrust upon her too
early. She is discontented, peevish.
She longs for love and romance, and
she is pretty sure to meet some man
who satisfies her mature taste. So
congratulate yourself that at twen
ty-one you are still free and that
you are not in danger of making the
mistakes that your friends who mar
ried too young probably have made.
Above all, don’t get in a panic about
not being married and settled, and
rush into an idiotic alliance just to
save ycurself from being an old
maid.
Marriage ages a woman. Your
friends who are matrons with babies
are, in effect, five years older than
you are. So I would advise you to
get out of the married crowd and go
with the younger set, where you be
long. Otherwise you will be classed
as a spinster instead of the young
girl you really are. Perhaps going
back to college will be as good away
as any to do this, but it is hard to
resume interrupted studies, so why
not take up a business course or a
domestic science course at home?
At any rate, thank God that you
go there to school when we complete the
seventh grade. I must stop before I break
Aunt Julia’s rules. All you cousins write to
nte. lovingly.

We need a friendship hand to clutch.

Dear Dorothy Dix—l am a middle

ter. My husband annoys and mor
tifies us by telling people that I am
i jealous of him and his business be
i cause I simply try to keep him from
making a fool of himself. He brags
to other men about girls being pretty
; nice and when we go out to places
i makes himself conspicuous. He has
lots of ego and likes to show off.
I I have overworked and saved al
ways to be a help, and care more
: for his business success than he does,
i Do all men accuse their wives of be
i ing jealous when their wives try to
• keep them from doing silly things?
MRS. A. S.
i Answer:
i Alas, Mrs. A. S., for I fear that
your case is that of a woman without
I a sense of humor who is married to
j the village cutup, which is always a
; pity because the woman gets so
i many unnecessary and unintended
I wounds. Also, alas, most husbands
■ like to maka their wives the butt ot
! their merry jests, and the oldest and
' most common husband joke in the
! world is for a man to tease his wife
i about being jealous of him and to
[ represent himself as a gay Lothario
j who is a perfect devil among the
! women. If the wife is dark, he is
; always describing the charms ol
some imaginary blonde. If the wife
: is fair, he invents a ravishing bru-
■ nette.
Run over the list of your acquain-
I tat.ces. Ycu will recall half a dozen
; men whose favorite dinner table
i story is about how green-eyed their
wives get every time they look at
another woman. And sometimes the
wives bite their lips to keep from
i crying ar.d sometimes they get an
gry, and sometimes they just laugh.
i And the wise ones are those who
i laugh, because it really means noth
i ing at al', except that the husband is
i trying to be funny. He is bragging
i about how much his wife thinks of
j him, and he would like people to
think that he is still attractive to
! women.
i So summon up your sense of hu-
I mor and meet the situation as it is.
i There is nothing to be mortified
; about in it. And don’t imagine that
'it belittles you in other people’s
! e J’ es - ‘ _____
They have heard the same old
I cracks so many times and they are

Dear Miss Dix—l am a married
man. I have been married nearly
two years. I knew in the beginning
that the girl was not just what I

more intelligent. I also knew I did
not love her as I should, but I
thought I would grow to care more

every way. I am utterly miserable.
What shall I do? W. J. B.

FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Introducing Napier Grass to Georgia
Tell us about Napier grass. We
hear a lot about it these days, and
we woyld like to know all the facts
pertaining to its growth .and use
in Georgia. Thus commanded by
insistent correspondents, the writer
has done his best to secure and in
terpret the situation relative .to the
merits ot this grass correctly. For
tunately for all concerned, Prof. H.
C. Appleton, field crop specialist, has
just completed a study of Napier
grass and, its adaptation to our
state. Thus, first-hand information
of the most dependable type i.< avail
able. Jf you are interested in this
grass, read what he has to say con
cerning it.
Napier grass is a tall, coarse
grass greatly resembling Japanese
sugar cane In appearance. If allow
ed to grow for the entire season,
the canes may,, on good land, reach
a height of fifteen feet or more.
On ordinary land, the growth will
be less.
When young, the plants are ten
der. If, however, the canes are al
lowed to grow too long before cut
ting', they become harsh and woody.
During the growing season, it can
be cut as often as desired. After
cutting, the roots will send ou.t pew
shoots, and a continuous supply of
feed may be harvested from early
summer until the top-growth is kill
ed by frost in the fall.
It is not necessary to plant Na
pier grass every year. When once
established, it will continue to come
back each year from the roots. When
desired, it can be killed, and is there
fore not likely to become a pest.
Just how far north the roots will
survive the winter cannot be defi
nitely stated. For the past two win
ters they have apparently not been
injured at Athens.
The following table' gives a com
parison of the green fodder from
Napier grass with that of other well
known plants:
Napier
Corn Sorghum Grass
Water. ... ...78.1 75.1 61.81
Ash ..1.2 1.4 2.92
Protein . 1.9 1.5 2.92
Carbohydrates.. ..13.0 14.0 17.29
Fat 6 1.0 .29
Fiber 5.2 7.0 14.17
Below is a. table comparing the
chemical analysis of the cured hay of
Napier grass with that of other
well-known hays:
Napier
Timothy Crab Grass Grass
Water.. .. .. ..11.6 9.5 9.35
Ash ... 4.9 8.5 9.92
Protein 6.2 8.0 11.32
Carbohydrates.. ..45,0 42.9 41.06
Fat 2.5 2.4 2.15
Fiber 29.9 28.7 26.20
It will be seen from these analyses
that Napier grass is richer in pro
tein than any of the other hays
named. An analysis pf the other
grasses when quite young would
probably show them to be as rich
as Napier grass in protein. As Na
pier grass becomes more mature, it
is quite certain that the per cent
of protein will decrease while the
fiber will show an increase.
Napier grass will make some
growth on any well-drained sol.
However, it is best to select good
land for it. Land such as would
be used for sugar cane will be about
right. It it is to be fed green, it
is important to locate the field as
near the place ot feeding as possible
so as to avoid undue handling of the
bulky, green material.
Yields of forty to sixty tons of
green material per acre have been
reported. On unusually good land,
with a favorable season, such yields
might be obtained. Ordinarily, less
than half the above amounts will
be the yield.
Napier grass is sometimes start
ed by sowing the seed in flats and
later transplanting the resulting
seedlings to the field. This is a.
rarely used method. The usual
method of starting a new field of
Napier grass is to use canes that
were hedded and carried through
the winter.
If .The canes are plentiful, they
may be put in furrows and covered
just as is commonly done with su
gar cane. The canes should; be cov
ered four or five inches in sandy
land and somewhat less in clay land.
If canes are scarce, they may be
cut in pieces with one “eye” on
each piece. The cut is made just
below each joint. A long slanting
cut should be made. The pieces
should then be stuck slantingly in
th eground, eve part downward. In
the ground, stick so the eye will be
four or five inches deep; on clay
land, somewhat shallower planting'
must be used.
After some growth has been made
the root clumps may be taken up
and divided and other areas may
be planted or those hills failing to
grow from the canes may be re
planted.
The rows for Napier grass should
be fixe or six feet apart, and, jf sec
tions of the cane or divided roots,'
are used for planting, the hills
should be three or four feet apart.
No fertilizer tests have been con
ducted with Napier grass. Hence it
is impossible to state definitely just
what mixtures will he best if it is
desired to use ■ fertilizers. On such
a crop as Napier grass, especially
when planted on good land, it is
doubtful whether commercial fertil
izers will pay. Nitrate of soda
would greatly stimulate growth for
one year at least, hut the use of
nitrate of soda alone would, in all
probability, in the end be disap
pointing. A fertilizer carrying a
high percentage of nitrogen bal
anced with acid phosphate will be
more desirable.
Stable manure is an excellent fer
tilizer to apply to Napier grass. A
broadcast appiica.tion of manure, on
any but the richest soils is highly
desirable.
Napier grass to be profitable,
must as a general rule be grown on
land that is fertile enough to pro
duce good crops without comnu’r
cial fertili: irs, or it should be grown

nn land that has been enriched with
stable manure.
Just as soon as the young shoots
of Napier grass get a few inches
above the surface, cultivation should
Start. The cultivation should be
about like that given corn. Each
y -ir, Napier grass should be given
enough cultivation to keep down
1 weeds.
Napier grass is used in Georgia
for about the same purposes as cat
tail millet, namely, temporary pas
ture and cutting to feed green. i»
ma.kes an abundance of green leea
which, judging from chemical analy
sis, should be' excellent.
Very little Napier grass has -been
ct.t and cured for hay. It should
make at least a. fair grade of coarse
hay, if cut while young and tender.
The comparatively high yields of
Napier grass have, naturally given
rise to the idea that it is a good
silage plant. Little has, so far, been
made into silage?
Experimenters report that cattle
refuse to eat anything but blades in
the silage made from mature Napier
grass, the stalks seeming tn be too
hard an dwoody. No one so far as i
the writer knows has tried enciljng
young shoots of Napier grass and
whether good silage could be made
from tb<” young shoots is not known.
However, a good grade, of silage
cannot usually he made from im
mature plants of any kind.
Composition of Barn Lot Manure
S. H. S., Bonaire, Ga.. writes:
Please tell me the analysis of
barnyard manure.
Yard manures vary a good deal
in composition, depending upon the
treatment to which they have been
subjected, the class and age of ani
mals from which they have been
derived, and the, character of food
fed. The amount of nitrogen varies
from .4 to .8 of 1 per cent. This
is equivalent to from eight to six
teen pounds per ton. The phos
phoric acid content varies from .2
tn .4 per cent per 100 pounds, which
is equivalent to from four to eight
pounds of this material per ton. The
percentage of potash is just exactly
the same as that of nitrogen, ths
gross amount in a. ton of manure be
ing from eight to sixteen pounds. An
average ton of yard manure will
probably not contain more than ten
pounds of nitrogen, five pounds of
phosphoric acid, and ten pounds of
potash. You will thus see that it
is, relatively speaking, a, low-grade
material, but it exerts an influence
in the soil quite out of proportion
to its composition. This is due to
the fermentation it induces and the
favorable action it seems to exert
on the bacterial life of the. soil.
