WHO’S WHO
The Bartut church at Thomas
Has Asked Judge Tolbert to
Decide Who’s Who
Rev ' Martin Roof was down
Monday as a juror He called
and told the history of the law-
suit the Baptist Church of Thom-
as is to have in Judge Tolbert’s
court Feb 9 -
Rev Mr' Roof and his twenty-
two followers claim they' mostly
built the church They call them-
selves The Laud Marker’s Mis-
sionary Baptists ’
But recently the Concord Mis-
sionary Baptists caught the pion-
eer fellows napping and outvoted
tbem IS to 23 and shut the other
fallows out of the church ' The
’Xand markers claim' the Concord
bellows have wandered from the
faith and are guilty of heresy by
BOt letting the church control the
missionary " work but turning it
over to the convention board sys-
tem and last but not ' least admit
members immersed in some other

HOME FERTILIZERS
FOR THE FARM
Help to Gut Down the Expenses
And to Build Up the Soil
It is essential to their ultimate
success that the farmers of the
South be impressed with the im-
portance of giving more atten-
tion to the saving ot farm ma-
nures The covenience of com-
mercial fertilizers the ease with
which they can be obtained (they
can always be bought on credit)
and the fact that their use requir-
es little forethought have led most
of our farmers to forget or neg-
lect the home' supply Anotner
reason why home manures have
been neglected is that owing to
the lack of intelligence care of
them the results following their
use have not been satisfactory If
much good has been obtained from
them it is usually reached only
by their use in such large quahi-
tiea as it is difficult to secure upon
the average farm
’ We should not be understood
as opposing the intelligence and
economical use of commercial fer-
tilizers Commercial fertilizers
have proved themselves of great
value and are destined to play
even a greater part ‘in' our farm
economy but it is only when used
as supplements to the borne pro-
duct that this will be so In the
first place they are costly and
secondly their exclusive uso in-
stead of effecting a permanent
improvement of the soil actually
hastens the depletion of that soil
of its plant food It is only when
used with green manures - and
barnyard manures that (he most
permanent improvement can be
accomplished- - ‘
? The small value frequently re-
alized from the use of barnyard
manure arises from the fact that it-
is not properly saved and handled
and the manure has lost the great-
er part of its plant food Barnyard
manure may be regarded as just so
much vegetable matter: It differs
however from the food from which
it is derived in that having been
once digested its fertilizing ele-
ments are more available for
plants
Available plant food - means
plant food that is easily decom-
posed and soluble in water If the
manure is lett exposed to the ele
ments the water from rains easily
rnd rapidly li?ncli s uc the solu
ble plant food On the other hind
if the manure is allowed to heat a
large amount of the nitrogen is
driven off into the atmosphere so
in order to get the t valuable
manure both of these sources of
loss must bo avoided - There are
severl ways of accomplishing this
Probably the best plan where it
is practicable is to haul the ma-
nure direct upon the land and
plow it in — shallow on clay soils
deeper on sandy loams - Again'
especially with horse manure'' etc
it is good to allow the manure to
remain In the stable using plenty
of litter 7The animals tramp" the
manure down thus excluding eir
and as it is kept dry it will keep
with practically no loss The litter-used
in bedding not only is it-
self of value as a fertiliser but
serves also to absorb all ‘ liquids
and prevent their loss If hot
practicable to pursue ! either of
these methods than a cheap shed
canbe provided end the manure
stored in it until reedy for use-
There is cne pn ciutiod' that
must be observed when ar shed is
usedand especially' if 'the 'drop-
pings from ‘ horses predominate
Under these condMoi s the mannre
is apt : te heat ThU should be
prevented by dampening it For
' " ' ’ ’
this reason it is a good plan to
havo a leaky shed— one that will
not permjt thr entrance of enough
water to leach through but will
leak enough to keep the manure
moist In case of protracted
drought there should be artificial
I means of watering the compost
The question may arise with the
farmer whether it is more econom-
ical to go to this trouble and ex-
pense with his manure or to de-
pend upon commercial fertilizers
This question is soon answered in
the affirmative
Bear in mind that while the
farmer ip&y buy an equal number
of pounds of plant food he can not
get it in'as good a form nor do
the commercial fertilizers have as
great aiT effect They do not add
vegetable matter do not start soil
fermentation and do not correct
mechanical defects of the soil A
ton of well-preserved horse ma-
nure from a well-fed horse con-
tains abont 98 pounds of nitrogen
52 pounds of phosphoric acid and
96 pounds of potash — plant food
that would cost $218 bought as
commercial fertilizer This is on
a basis ojf 15 cents a pound for ni-
trogen '44 cents for phosphoric
acid and 5 cents for potash
A horse weighing 1000 pounds
will produce about 12 tons of ma-
nure in a year and this manure is
consequently worth 7 3-5 cents a
day' or about $27 a year The
manure from the average cow is
worth about cent9 a clay or
$2320 per year These values
are based on the presumption that
the animals are well fed Where
the common manure heap is used
for all farm refuse ivhile its com-
position is necessarily variable it
can safely be assumed that & ton
of it will contain 12 pounds of ni-
trogen '5 pounds of phosphoric
acid and '6 pounds of ptashTh
plant fertilizers in a ton of ma-
nure are worth commercially from
$2 to $225 These values do not
take into consideration the indi-
rect benefits to the soil While
the actual plant food contained in
a ton of barnyard manure is worth
at least $2 it is safe to say that
the farmer will derive nearer $3
worth of good from it
- When left in loose heaps under
cover it has been found that ma-
nure loses 14 per cent of its ni-
trogen When these heaps are not
covered this loss amounts to 30
per cent and when exposed in
thin layers a9 is the case when it
is left on the barn lot this loss in-
creases to 64 per cent Putting it
differently the Eame mannre that
when properly cared for is worth
$218 a ton if allowed to remain
in loose heap9 for twelve months
is worth only $2 When those
heaps are uncovered the value falls
to $170 and the unprotected thin
layer at the end of thrt time is
worth only $110 This is not the
extent of the loss for that portion
of the fertilizer ingredients that is
left is the least valuable and what
we have is really only the refuse
of the formerly valuable manure
This-tremendous loss from im-
proper handling easily explains
why our farmers find it necessary
to uae such large quantities of
manure to derive much benefit
from it It will he observed that
even when the manure is stored in
a shed there is a loss ’ by cover-
ing the manure heap with oertain
substances it is found ' that not
only can this Joss be ' prevented
but that the stock of nun u re ean
be very greatl) increased' A ton
of ordinary loam will absorb 18
pounds of nitrogen and if placed
over the manure hetp will prevent
all loss of that aubstanoe Saw-
dust will absorb nearly 4 pounds
of theiitrogrp jThc necessity
for absorbents brir gs ua to the
consideration of the compost heap

prove his claim of the dis-

That may be but if you will send a
committee of Farmers Tradesmen
or Professionals to our place of
business we will furnish you abun-
dant proofs of the superiority of the
goods we sell over the ordinary
cheap-John stocks usually found
on the shelves of competitors in
other towns This is clearly proven
by our customers coming back and
