Henry James vee born an Ameri can, but tiled a lUltoish subject. In July, 1915, be took the oath of al legiance to the crown, explaining that he had lived and worked in longland for 40 years and had de veloped such an attachment for the country and sympathy with its peo ple that he desired to throw luis moral weight and personal allegi ance Into the British cause in the European war. The distinguished novelist, critic and playwright, was born in Now York. April 15, 184:1. His father, Henry James, Sr., was noted as a writer on ethics and religion; and his younger brother, William, was later to become distinguished as a psychologist. The family was pos sessed of an ample fortune, Hie foundation of which wa? laid by the novelist's father, of Scotch-Irish de scent, who migrated from Ulster soon after the Revolutionary War and became a successful merchant at Albany, N. Y. Tho South the Heal "Corn Reit." Prof. C. K. McQuaiTie, of Florida, la another man who believes tho South is the real "Corn Heit." He states that Southern corn ia better In quality than Northern corn. The protein content is higher and the percentage of corn to cob is greater. At the Ocala fair this year there were three samples of corn that shelled 90 por cent grain. The great advantage -tiha't the South has in corn production is the long sea son. Corn always matures. North ern farmers must select the variety that will mature, whether or not li will make the best yield or is of th ii best quality. The Southern farmer can select the very best variety for his purpose and rest assured that it will have a season long enough to matu rc. The natural habitat, of corn is a warm climate. The South comes nearer meeting these conditions than the so-called "coral belt." Meeting of Presbytery. Piedmont Presbytery will meet at Piedmont April 11th, being Tuesday before Hie full moon.

Mansfield, of thc United Stutos 'Geological Survey, has resulted'in a brief report show ing tbo location and character of beds of rock phosphate of medium grado on the west dank of that range. Thia investigation is part of the exploratory work and mapping which the Geological Survey is doing In tho western phosphate field. This work bas already resulted in the dis covery of beds of phosphate, most of it of high grade, aggregating several billion tons. The present report is designated as Bulletin 620-O and may bo had on application to the Director, Geological Survey, Wash ington, D. C. Quit Buring Stalks, Trash, Etc. ( Progressive Farmer. ) Wiso and good old Dr. Knapp used to say that fools and lire aro two of thc most serious obstacles to better farming in tbe South, and a trip through tbe Cotton Belt at this time of tho year will convince any dear-thinking man that ho was right. Everywhere blue smoko curl ing upward from burning corn and cotton stalks, grass, weeds ?nd trash tells a story of soil depletion and exhaustion. We bave soon grass and stalks so light and scattering that a bay rake was necessary \o gather them in piles or windrows, where tiley ?vere burnt. This often hap pens, too, on our thin, gullied hill sides that need vegetable matter If any land in the world needs it. There's ono 'thing we might all as well get right now: we aro never going to bave rieb lands anni profit able yields as long as such practices are kept up. It's a pitiful thing to soe a farmer burning tbis material tvnd then buying high-priced com mercial fertilizers to make his crop. It bas been found that on land that made 300 pounds of lint cotton, the stalks, loaves and burs contain at least 20 pounds ol* nitrogen, worth at present prices about $">. Where corn stalks and grass are burned the loss ls little less. Nor is this tho only loss, for the humus value of Ibis material is si very important item. If you over ex|>ect to become a rich-land farmer, keep fire out of the Holds. Burn absolutely nothing that can bo plowed under or used to stop washes, aid your land will soon re spond with bigger and better crops. Hunk in Swedish Waters.

On the same day a dispatch from Copen hagen reported that, according to a local newspaper, a largo German flo tilla was engaged in laying mines south of Palstorbo. Why Don't* Vow Quit Huming Stalk*? (?Progressive Farmer.) Dr. B. W. Kilgore, State chemist of North? Carolina, states that "Th? roots, ?terns, bolls ?nd leaves corres ponding to- (.or which produce) 500 pounds of lint cotton, aro 'around 3, 145 pounds, or mono than one and one-half tons, containing (57.7 pounds of nitrogen. 20.5 pounds of phos phoric acid. 50.a pounds of potasl , and 5D.3 pounds of lime; or the equivalent: of (Ive tons of good ma nu re." Dui yow ever think what we are doing when we uso tho torch so Indis criminately? If you produce ten bales of cotton turd burn all the stalks you? ?re, according to the above ligures, deliberately destroy ing 077 pounds of nitrogen., worth at present prices about $170; and still we grumble about the hig?h price of fertilisers. Lofs stop, right now and forever,, this miserable burning habit that is . annually costing us millions of dol-?? lars. Let's make tip our minds that-1 henceforth nothing on our farm shall b?? burned if we con possibly plow In iiudnr or use it 'to stop washes.

THE RACfOF LIFE. A Talk With the Boys. (Progressive Farmer.) There never was any better a '.vice given than that which urged you to ".make two blaides of grass grow whore one grew before." The man who can do that ls better morally, physically and In every other way. You boys have done that and more. You have made 40 bushels ->f corn grow where only 10 bushels grew be fore, not only because you have in creased production on tho little land you have plata ted, but because you have waked up the old farmers, your daddies, and made them take notice and get busy. Rut you ?ave got a bigger work dhan th's before you: You've al ready increased the yield, now you can help Increase the price; your ef forts can help the farmer of this country come nearer to getting a fair price for his product thou he has ever done before.
