"FOR THE HONOR OF THE LAND" Soil Building In a Fundamental ,n Su cesMful Farming ' W hen an American interviewer re c..'nt'y visited Kipling at his English country place, he was shown a mason digging asfar down as five feet toe contjf5 foundation for f. wall. "Do you see how substantially ho is (f.oing that?" asked Kipling. "That shr-.;ld be interesting to an American, wfcif.-ls iisea n' seeing tliinss done ii a hurry. But here in Sussex thesy build for the steres. Once. here. I asked a man why he plowed "so deeply, and T, asked this mason why he went so far j down for Ma fbundatiori wncn two or three feet would do, and they both made the same answer ft phrases that I have- learned since is -commu-ily in iise in Sussex, like an adage or a motto; "We do it ihis wav for the honor of the land." "For the honor of the land" our efforts should always conform, and in building- anything on the' farm yei manence and stability should be tirst considered. ' Our building should be for posterity, not for ourselves alone. The light soils found in Virginia and the aCrolinas are very 'deficient in humus or decayed or,gants matter. Therefore, the problem of supplying the deficient organic matter is one of tiie first with which the farmer is confronted. Humus the life of the scil must be put in the soil for the following reasons. 1. Humus is the chief source of sup ply of nitrogen. 2. Humus, when decaying, makes available plant food from the store of unavailable plant food in the soil. 3. Humus acts as a sponge and in creases the water-holding capacllv of the soil. . . 4. Humus makes the soil more mel low and granular. - . 5. Humus binds together the soil particles and thus prav,n the. soil from drying by wind or washing bv rain . 6. Humus permits air to enter heavy ciay soils more readily. 7. Humus makes soil dark.nr in co)or. 8. Humus furnishes food for count less numbers or bacteria that ar helpful to plant growth. 0. Humus prevents baking. All organic matter produce J on the farm that cannot be used as food should be returned to the soil to sup ply humus. Corn and cotton stalks, straw, and all spoiled hay, etc., should not te burned, for in burning, the organic matter is destroyed. They should be worked into the soil where they will decay and form humus. 'All manure produced should be saved, spread upon the fields, and worked in to the soil. If enough' material is not furnished in this manner to keep up the supply of humus them some crop should be plowed under fo this pur pose. ' The- best "crops to plow under for green manure are cowpeas, soy beans, sweet clover, and rye. Any of these crops may be planted in the spring and plowed! under in June in time to plant a crop of sorghum- or corn in July. In this way. a season's crop is rot lost and the soil is benefited. G. A. CARDWELL, Agricultural and Industrial Agent, v Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. C'AIV SOUTH AFFORD NOT TO IN- -CREASE PER ACRE YIELD OV CORN It is stated that the weakest crop grown on southern ; f ajms is the corn crop, which In total value comes next to cotton. The total value of the corn cr6o last "year was $843,000,000, yet c nly two states of the southern group produced a yield of more than twenty bushels an acre. Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Georgia averaged " less than - fifteen. , "Virginia averaged -' 28, North Carolina 19 and South- Carolina 16 bushels an acre. i The situation. Is a little difficult to understand when we remember along with these low figures that the south has the record for corn yield per acre. Jind "boasts -of a, -large number of re cords cif more than two hundred bush els' an acre. ' , ; . The low- averaee per- acre, it must be remembered, includes, a large num ber of acres and probably farms, where the yield Is less than half of fifteen. Whv Dlant such lands in corn? A twenty bushel-an-acre-crop should be the Irreducible minimum vof every acre If the land will not make this much, then turn it" over entirely to the -cow- pea, soy bean . and velvet bean. Let legumes have a chance, rather than waste labor on a hopeless task. Assuming that good Judgment - has been displayed in the selection and testing of seed, the next consideration should be good .. land and proper till age. The tillage of the soil cannot be too good for corn, j The land should he fine, mellow and moist, and should be free from weeds. - Corn- will not make a crop in either clods- or grass Fix ' the land right before you plant it, and then so cultivate it as to keep it like you fix It until the crop Is made The cultivation should not ; be deep enough to injure the roots of the crop it should be frequent and shallow? It Is possible that the average yield U. S: MUST GUARD AGAINST BUBONIC PLAGUE, HE SAYS ! Or. Hugh S. Cumming . Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, nerw surgeon general of the U. S. public health service, recently returned from two-year study ox disease and health conditions m Asia and Europe to take up his new duties in Wash ington. He says that typhus fever and the bubonic plague will invade Europe from Asia and may possibly spread to the U. S. unless proper pre cautions are taken- VIRGINIA CADETS OUTCLASS TRINITY IN FIELD EVENTS Meet Was Closely Contested And Was Spirited Through out. (Special to The Star.)
