thing we thought ought to be
done during his absence to make
things go right on Lenoir College
ball grounds. t
Lenoir College is the property
of a christian denomination and
under its control, it is, therefore,
thurch property.
We believe that the managers
of the base ball interest of Hick
orv are doing all they can to res
pect our property rights andtrive
a clean, honest exhibition of our
national sport, but we regret
that the efforts of the managers
coupled'with our own, have not
beeh able te make things "go
right" at the games at Lenoir
College. There is swearing and
obscene language, there is drink
ing and and, worse
than all, there is open %nH fla
grant gambling at nearly every
game.
In view of the fact that these i
trrounds are church property, in
view of the fact that christian
parents live adjoining the ball
ground and must, be compelled
to have themselves, women and
children, and see this improper
and debasing conduct, -we serve
notice now and here that such
conduct will not be longer tole*
rated. Those who come to
drink, and gamble and swear
and fight will be prosecuted for
each particular offense and for
improper conduct prop
erty as well. As a finat word, if
those interested in a clean, hon
est game are unwilling to stand
up and see that hereafter these
disreputable features shall no
longer be practiced, then the lov

WHEN FERTILIZERS SIOULD BE
APPLIEB.
A* a general rule, which has hot few
exceptions, the greater part of the fer
tiliser should be applied to the soil he
fore planting the crop It is Intended to
benefit. This ruie is not only in accord
with theoretical considerations,, hat is also ;
abundantly sustained In actual practice,
as shown by carefully conducted field ex
periments instituted for the express pur
pose of ascertaining the truth, says Hen.
R. J. Redding. Director Georgia Expo
nent Station. Department of Agriculture,
in Virxlnla -Carolina Fertiliser Almanac.
The theory underlying the rttfe is the
fact that most of the ingredient* compos
ing a commercial fertiliser are not la*
mediately soluble and avalllble. but must
undergo certain chemical changes In the
soil before the plant food will ha In the
proper oondltion to be taken up by the
toots of the plants. This is particularly
true in regard to salts of potaah. and In
less degree to add phosphate. It laa
fact, also, that some forms of potash,
notably kainlt. cause chemical changes
in the condition of the plant food already
present In a soil, whetetoy the before In
soluble and non-available plant food al
ready In the soli, becomes available.
The organic suhetanoes which are large
ly used in the aaahe up of commercial
fertilisers for the purpose of supplying
nitrogen to the plants—such as cotton
seed meal, dried Mood, fish scrap, tank
age. etc., also require time in which to
undergo cherolnal decomposition and such
change of form as will enable the roots
to appropriate the nitrogen. Sven sul
phate of ammonia, a highly soluble chemi
cal salt, which sometimes enters Into
the composition of a fertiliser in a very
limited amount must undergo a complete
chemical decomposition In the soil beforh
the plants oan make any use of the nitro
gen. which It contains In the form of
ammonia sulphate. This must be em
verted into nitrate, or nitrate of lime.
Nitrate of soda Is the one chemical
fertiliser salt that la immediately avail
able. producing a very prompt effect when
applied to a growing crop (and It should
he applied to none other).
Acid phosphate and potash may be ap-
Sed to the soli and bedded on from two
six weeks before planting time. It
Is claimed by some experts that potash
salts may be applied with better results
even several months before planting. A
more practical and convenient rule, tow
ever, is to apply a complete fertiliser
from ode to three weeks before planting
the crop, when the latter Is a corn, cot

crop, always taking" care to mix- the Ur~

APPLYING FERTILIZER AT TBM
TIME OF PLANTING.
This may bo understood to mean either
applying the fertiliser, bedding *n It and
Immediately planting the ae*d; or it mag
refer to the practlc&of putting the fer
tilizer in the furrow with the seed. Ia
the latter case, there is always a mani
fest danger that the coming growing sea
son may be unusually dry, la which event
the fertilizer, being so lightly covered,
may not b* dissolved and properly dis
seminated through the eoll. It may also
follow that the fertiliser being so concen
trated—en masse, as it were—around th*
tender rootlets of the young plants that
the latter may be-injured, or "burned"—
a not inconsiderable danger. Th* plan
Is not adviaaM* except when a very
light application is to be made per acre.
This caution ia especially applicable to
seeds that ax* planted In very shallow
furrows and bdt lightly covered, such aa

tiliser in one furrow and plant th* seed*
