Presence r and Moisture Essenti.l ical and Germ Action-—Pia Use Large Amount of Moisture. (By the late DIR. 8. A. KNAPP.) Prepare a deep and thoroughly pul- verized seed bed, well drained; break in the fall to a depth of 8, 10 or 12 inches, according to the soil, with im- plements that will not bring too much of the subsoil to the surface, (The foregoing depths should be reached gradually if a field is broken with an ordinary turning plow. If a disk plow is used, it is safe to go to the above depths at once.) It is the purpose of the farmers’ co- operative demonstration work to insist upon such preparation of the soil as will furnish the best feeding grounds for the roots and such as will provide at all times plenty of moisture and food for the growing plants. It is bet- ter to secure 10 or 12 inches of well drained, thoroughly pulverized soil filled with humus than to go deeper at the expense of less thorough prepara tion. The presence of heat, air and mois- ture is essential to chemical and germ action in the preparation of plant food in the soil. The depths to which these A BED With PA. Wednesday, January 3, 1912, TT 40Y off, This can be determined by dig ging a hole 20 inches deep. If there Is | standing water in the bottom of the hole, it indicates that there Is too much water in the soil or subsoil upon the amount of humus in it. Un plowed lands retain but little water Thoroughly pulverized soil three inch good crop. In all southern states there every year periods of drought, some times not serious, but generally suf ficiently protracted to reduce the crop The remedy for this is increased stor age for moisture, This can be accom plished by deep and thorough tillage and by filling the soil with humus¢ (partly decayed vegetation). The ef The effect of humus is to increase greatly the storage capacity of soils for water and to reduce evaporation. A pound of humus will store seven and one-half times as much moisture as a pound of sand, and the sand will lose its water by evaporation three and one- half times more rapidly than the humus. A clay soil will store only about one-fourth as much moisture as humus, and will lose it by evaporation twice as rapidly. Plants use an enormous quantity of a month. This is in addition to evap- oration from the soil, which, even with | | | A Cotton Field | penetrate the soil in the south depend upon the depth of the plowing. | It has been proved without question that the roots of plants penetrate the soil deeper and feed deeper in deeply plowed land. Thus, in general, it may | be stated that when the soil is plowed . three inches deep the plants have ! three inches of food, when plowed six | inches deep they have six inches of food, and when plowed ten inches . deep they have ten inches of food. | The fact that the bottom of the plowed land is not as rich in available plant food as the top portions shows the ne- cessity of getting more air and heat down to them by deeper tillage. The soil requirements most essen- tial to the growth of plants are heat and moisture. Deep breakage in- sures air and heat at a greater depth. For plants to do their best there must be in the soil a constant supply of moisture, so that a film of water can envelop the soil particles and ab- gorb nutritive elements. The hair roots of plants drink this for nourish- ment. If there is any more than enough to serve as films for the soil particles and capillary water, there is too much, and it should be drained BEEF FOR COTTON PLANTER Some Sort of Diversified Farming Plan Will Tend Towards Better and More Reliable Results. The cotton planter of the south, who has been looking in vain for years for some relief from the ravages of the money crop, owes it to himself to in Mississippl. the retarding influence of the dust mulch, will amount to, several inches each month in midsumrher. In case the land is plowed only three or four inches deep, though thoroughly pul verized, it will store an amount of moisture entirely insufficient to sup- ply crop requirements in any protract- ed drought. These shallow and gen- erally poorly prepared seed beds are the principal cause of the low corn yields in the south, and they affect the cotton yields similarly, but not so much, because cotton is a more drought-resistant plant than corn. If planting is done at all, it is folly to prepare a seed bed so shallow as to bring about the almost total loss of the crop some years and a reduced Crop every year. Value of Paint. The expenditure of a few dollars for good paint and its use on buildings will prevent the weather from dam- aging the lumber severely, and add very much to the looks of the build ings. Ready mixed paints can be ob: tained and instructions relative to the application closely followed by anyone HANDY DEVICE ON ANY FARM Ordinary Gate or Barn Door May Be Held Open or in Any Position By Hinge Stop.

Cottoy can- not be depended upon year in\ and vear out as in the earlier days. Grain farming alone will not only not ma fn- tain the fertility of the soil, but in xhe end will ruin it. And not all of fthe south is adapted to grain growing. With a more equitable climate, wit natural grasses abundant the | around, with sufficient grain / feed raised, live stock growing should ig profitable in practically all sedtions of the south. The only obstacle §s the prevalence of the fever tick, and the work of tick eradication is ping pushed in all the southern states with much progress and there is much rea- son to believe that in a very few years the tick will be confined to small and scattered localities. / G5.

Nace en BIG FLAG POLE Now on The Ocean on Way From California Lashed to a vessel that is now rounding Cape Horn, South America is a 300 foot flag pole enroute to the Masonic Home site at Elizabethtown and will be erected there some time during the spring. The pole has been taken from one of the native trees of California, and is being tak- en around to Philadelphia all the way by water because of -its length making it impossible to transport it across the country by rail. The pole measures eight feet in width at the bottom and eight inch- es at the top, and is one of the largest that has ever been taken from that section of the country. The flag, when erected at the top of the pole, it is said, be possible to be seen without a radius of several miles. Now that the pole is being brought to Philadelphia without any trouble, it now has the railroad officials guessing as to how to trans- port it over to Elizabethtown. There are quite a number of short curves on the local divisions of the Penn- sylvania and the Philadelphia and Reading Railroads. It will take about ten flat cars to carry the pole, and at the big end, it will have to be secured to the car very firmly as the twist and jar of the ten cars, holding it, will make a big strain on it. It will no doubt be | handled by special service. When the pole has been unload- ed at Elizabethtown, it will be quite an engineering feat to erect it. It will have to be put into the ground for a considerable depth, and will be given a concrete base. The pole will be about 275 feet out of the ground. re em reel A An ee Remembered the Hospital A check for twenty-five dollars from Hon. M. R.
