The light' soils found' in Virginia V d the Carolinas are very deficent b humus or decayed organic matter. 11 ierefore, the problem of supplying y a deficient organic matter is one ok a e fist with which the fa'rmer is con- f anted. Humus-the life of the soil must be put in the soil for the fol- J wing reasons. . f 1. Humus is the chief source of c pply of nitrogen. 2. Humus, when decaying, makes, railable plant food from the store of kavailable plant food in the soil. 1 3. Humus acts as a sponge and in eases the water-holding capacity of 1o soil. 4. HIumuh makes the soil more i ellow and granular. 5. Humus binds together the soil articles and thus prevents the soil lom drying by wind or washing by %in. 6. Ijumus permits air to enter eavy clay soils more readily: 7. Humus makes soil darker in col r. 8. Humus furnishes food for count 3ss numbers of bacteria that are elpful to plant growth. 9. Humus prevents baking. All organic matter produced on the arm that cannot be used as food hould be returned to the soil to sup ly humus. Corn and cotton Stalks, traw, and all spoiled hay, etc., should iot be burned, for in burning, the or ,anic matter is destroyed. They ihould be worked into the soil where -hey will decay and form humus. All nanure produced should be saved, spread upon the fields, and worked into the soil. If eno.ugh - al is not furnished in this :i..,ier to keep up the supply of humus then some erop should be plowed under for this purpose. The best, crops to plow under for green manure are cowpe- 3, soy beans, sweet clover, and rye. Any of these crops may be planted in the spring and plowed under in June in time to plant a crop of sorghum or corn in July. In this way a 'season's croi is not lost and the soil is benefited. CAN THE SOUTH AFFORD NOT TO INCREASE THE PER ACRE YIELD OF CORN? It is stated that the weakest crol grown on Southern farms is the cor crop, which in total value comes nex to cotton. The total value of the cori crop last year was $843,000,000, ye only two states of the oSuthern groul produced a yield of more than twent; bushels an acre. Mississippi, Ala bama, Florida and Georgia average, less than fifteen. Virginia, average 28, North Carolina 19 and Sout Carolina 16 bushels an acre. The situation is a little dificult t understand when we remember alon with these low figures that the Sout has the record for corn yield per aci and boasts of a large number of r< cords of more than two hundred bl an acre. . The low average per acre, it must I remembered, includes a large numbi of acres and probably farms, whei the yield is less than half of fifteen. Why plant such lands in corn? twventy bushel an acre cr1op) should 1 the irreducible minimum of' evei a re. If' the land wvill not make th much, then turn it over entirely to ti cowpeai, soy bean andl velvet bean. L legumes have a chance, rather tha waste labor on a hopeless task. Assuming that good judlgment h. been dIisplayedl in the selection an testing of seed, the next considerati< should b~e goodl land and proper ti age. The tillage of the soil cannot1 too goodl for corn. The land shou b~e fine, mellow and moist, and shou be free fromr weeds.

M'axwell, joint owners of the t ,entral hotel, announced today that s ;hey would begin work immediately on I -he remeodeling of the hotel. While it is not likply that they will make an addition to the property at this time plans for increasing the capacity of the hostelry have been considered and when the owners come to a definite de cision on this point they will not be d'elayed by architectural troubles of any sort. Mr. Chase stated today that the entire hotel building would be thoroughly worked over. Sonic changes of course will be necessary to make the building accord with their plans. In addition to this the hotel will be newly furnished throughout an order for the furniture having already been placed. Furniture of the latest and most pleasing design has been ordered and sanitation will be an important feature of the new arrangements. In discussing his plans Mr. Chase stated that the owners would probably tear away the north wall of the court and 'extend the rooms in the shape of two wings. As the property goes through to Front street there is ample room, he stated, for making an addi tions to these wings which might be desired. The present walls of the ho tel are strong enough he added to per mit the building of another story. Messrs. Chase and Maxwell took pos session of the Central hotel the first of the month. At present it is leased to Mr. Smith. The price paid for the entire property was nearly $110,000. 0- -- ONE DEAD; ONE SHOT IN BATTLE Winston-Salem, N. C., April 18.
