Progressive Farmer.
For the farmer of the South, we 8<
ot
kohl that there are few greater res- ^
ponsiblities than that of caring for al
the land; not only caring for it, but
making it better and better as the w
years go by. Indeed, so great is this a
responsibility that we affirm that the1 i
farmer who in not a soil-builder. '
rather than a soil-robber, is not. how- j.
ever splendid his other qualities may , W(
be. a Rood citizen. J;
will he greater than its common peo- su
will be greate rthan its common peo- nt
pie?the people whose feet dailv
cr
press the bosom of Mother Earth; v ^
and no farming people can ever be jj
great unless the lands they live upon ta
are fat and fruitful. Where the poor,
f>arren lands are, theite will you m
ever find a poor, barren people? of
poor in the common comforts that l?<
make life better and more wholesome,
barren of all aspiration ana tc
hope of better things. Where the
rich and fruitful lands are, there are m
ever found good homes, good schools, i y,
vigorous, hopeful men and women h
with "faces turned toward the rislnt,1 ta
un."
It Is given to but few men to bo
great, as greatness is commonly reck-'
oned; but If true greatness lies In
service, in doing well our share of.
the world s work, and, when we go,1 E:
leaving behind us a world a little ra
better for our having lived in it. In'
contributing our bit to the welfare
and happiness of the present genera-1
tion and all generations yet to be? jt
if this bo the sort of service that
makes for greatness, then, no less
than poets and painters, no less than'
warriors and statesmen, is the soil !
building farmer a great man. worthy' 113
to be ranked with the greatest benefactors
of mankind. '
Hitherto, particularly in the South, p;
where a heavy rainfall and mild win- ai
ters are factors in depleting soil fertility,
soil building has not been Bl
easy; on the other hand, it has been

worried you? Haven't you many,
times wondered how you might avoid 18

the mark demanded the continued gi
use of fertilizers? I
But there's a way out, friend; yo.u 11
K
don't have to continue to buy huge
quantities of fertilizers every spring,
nor by not buying them will you run
the risk of short crops. On the other e(
hand, there's a way, a sure way, by 0
which you can cut your fertilizer vi
bills in half and at the same time p
make bigger crops than you are now h

you say? We answer that thousands ^
o( Progressive Farmer readers are |
proving every year that it can be t|
done, and that it is up to you to b
prove to your own satisfaction the w
truth or falsity of our statement. j b
In the air all above the earth are 8
literally billions and billions of dol-1 *
lars* worth of nitrogen, the element
you get in nitrate of soda and cot-' f,
tonseed meal, and for which you pay a
from eighteen to twenty-live cents a is
pound. A crop of crimson clover. ?
growing in winter and early spring 1
when your land would otherwise be 11
r
idle and barren, has the power of
^ drawing down this nitrogen from the
air. $lo to $2f? wortli for every acre 0
in clover; and, when plowed under t
in the spring, of storing this valuable v
food in the soil for the corn crop
that follows.
We only ask that you give crimson
clover one trial as a corn fertilizer. (
Study carefully ull that is being said 1
in The Progressive Farmer this week 1
i.
about how to succeed with it, and j
then plant some. When you have a
seen the rank growth of corn that it t
makes, so rank, as one of our friends I
say, that "You can see lightning bugs f
in it in the daytime;" when you have a
seen how mellow and loose it makes r
f
vour soil and how it increases yields
2
for years afterward, you will bless( ^
the day you found it, and your only a
regret will be that you did not dls- j
cover it sooner. 1 f.

"As a result of a conference beveen

it develops that Governor

t is quite clear that If there should

A short time ago the curio colleo;lon
of a Philadelphian went to the
luctlon room. Two whisky bottles
nto which was blown the name of
E. C. Hooe, a distiller in Philadelphia
ibout 1840, brought $28 and $20. They
.vere empty, but there is a tradition,
ivholly unfounded, that Mr. Hooz's
nrand of whisky was so popular that
it brought the word "booze" into the
vernacular. Etymologists may point
to the old Kngliah "house." to an old
Dutch word, or even to the Arabic,
fhe Philadelphian has neither eyes
nor ears for etymologists; he forgets
Lhat Sheridan UBed "boozed;" he knew
only E. C. Itooz and remembers thai
the distiller, an admirer of William
Henry Harrison, Lad his bottles madt
in the form of a log cabin. He should
have gone further and tilled his hot
ties with hard older, for Harrison't
campaign was known as the hard-cidei
one.
