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

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

| 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

years the tick will be confined to small

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.
