A NITROGEN-GATHERING CHOI' FOR EVERY ACRE THIS YEAR In our article last week on green manures, or crops to be plowed under for fertilizers, we produced experiment station evidence of th > great value of these crops. For example. sorghum planted after rye stubble yielded 5,525 pounds of hay per acre; after crimson clover stubble, 9,750 pounds per acre: and after crimson clover, entire i/lant turned under, 10,300 pounds. Reckoning sorghum hay at $10 a ton, we' have here an increased yield say worth nearly $25 an acre due to the clover crop. Again, oals after velvet beans plowed under yielded 33 bushels per acre; after cowp<ias plowed under, J 31 bushels per acre; and after crab grass and millet stubble, only 8 bushels per acre. Wo hold that these facts are of ( tremendous importance to southern , farmers; so important, indeed, that we believe every single cultivated , acre in the south should have some < sort of nitrogen gathering crop , planted on it this year. 1 Hit* this is impossible, you say? 1)?* mnonal ? ii if lira unun. nui iimy in n ?| 1111 * 1 possible, but It can be done at the same elme we are producing our crops of corn, oats and cotton. Let us see. In the first place, the oat land is 1 only doing half Its duty unless it . produce a legume crop after the oat j crop Is harvested. In the lower cen- ; < tral south leapedeza or Japan clover! makes a splendid hay and soil-build- i Ing crop after oats; on the stiffer 1 clay laivls, soy beans produce an immense lot of feed; cow peas do well | nearly everywhere; and In the Coastal Plain sections the JC?rly flpeck- < led velvet beans may very profitably follow oats for soil improvement and I fall and winter grazing.

In view of the demonstrated fact that, when the soil is inoculated, crimson clover is at home on practically every well-drained soil type in the south, no cotton field should be without this great winter growing legume. This, then, is an outline of what we consider the only sound cropping system, and we believe every farmer in the south whose main crops are corn, cotton and small grains might well adopt the slogan, "a nitrogen-gathering crop every yea rfor every cultivated acre." Adopting such a plan and sticking to it year after year will accomplish at least two far-reacliing results: First, it will enable us to laugh at highpriced fertilizers, for in most of the south such a system will make us independent of them; second, it will enable us to turn the tables on the northern farmer and ship him corn and meat Instead of our buying his. as Is now the case. Nor is this theory. Every year thousands of our best farmers nr? rloing these very things, and doing them to the eternal betterment of themselves, their soils, and their neighborhoods. Why not you?

This nr? mis oeen accepted without much question by the colleges themselves rt has been felt that the average stu (lent could be qualified for a commission with only a little special training. instead of the long and arduous course required to fit the ordinary, recruit for command. This view found typical expression the other day at Case School of Applied Science, in Cleveland. Said President Howe to his students. som< of whom were contemplating Joining (he new marine corps of the Ohir Xaval Militia r "Of course yon can do as you like but it is mv idea that a college student should be enrolled as a commissioned officer. In case of war. students who enlist now would bo only unvotes. You are better trained and educated than the average private are wormy ot lieing officers." With this utterance the Cleveland Trader takes sharp issue, saying: "The undergraduates of T)r Tlowe's excellent technical school arr no more fit to he commissioned as of ficers of any military orgaization than arc the students of a theological seminary to be put in charge of coal mines or power plants. Army and navy officers require special training as imperative as leaders in ither highly technical pursuits. Had nr. TTowe been giving his students military training all these years?as done for exnmnte It 01\ln ITnluo" ? ! >*? there might be -stinK' semblanc* of senec in his id"n that they are flt'< (1 for command. "They could hardly be told anything more false and mischievous than that college students are neees sarllv 'worthy of ! el tig officers.' It Is absolutely untrue that Case students are 'better trained and educated' in any military sense than 'the av"rafie private.' " Perhaps the deader Itself is overmpliatic. Surely a seientifle train ng gives a young man some of the special knowledge lie will need for profieieney as an army or navy officer?mathematics, for example. And no doubt a good duration of any sort promotes ronfldenre in a man, giving him a groundwork to build on and habits of mental application that make new acquisitions come easier.
