Roe of Pitsburgh, is drawing many visitors from all parts of the country to the Donald Woodward farms east of LeRoy, where the sys tem is being given practical demon stration. The onlookers watching the Roe electric plow in action include ex- I perts* from agricultural colleges as ' well as dirt farmers. The plow, double-bladed and tractor drawn, sends 103,000 volts of elec tricity into the soil as it moves along. Three fields have undergone this elec- tri. '.l treatment and a fourth is now ibt^.’ig prepared for the sowing of fall wheat. 'i he results are considered remark able. One of the three fields experi mented on earlier in the season was planted to corn, beans and potatoes, half of it tilled by customary methods and treated with 1,000 pounds of fer tilizer and planted with certified seed. The other half was treated with doses of electricity on June 1, the com, beans and potatoes being planted on June 24 without the use of fertilizer or certified seed. It required sixteen days for the fer tilized com and beans to germinate and come up, while the crops on the plots treated with electrciity were up _ ‘ ‘ that the electrically much darker in color Pt r M- et- ’ n ^ ve ^ a Y s " Observers found •* rayer . . , treated soil became BROAD STREET METHODIST CHURCH O.

A novel and recharge it, and the battery again resumes its functoins. ‘‘So it is with the soil—if it is not productive, all that is necessary is to replenish the soil with its natural ele ments, recharge it with electricity and its power of functioning* is again re stored. . “I have long discovered that plant life does not require nitrates, phos phorous, lime or potash; no more do plants feed upon gold, silver, brass or copper. ‘‘It is the importance of the power quality of soils that the farmers must first understand, and if they give due consideration to all the five physical factors of plant life, we learn that four of t.^em are power factors. Air and water are qualities of power, and heat and light, products of electricity, are also forms of power. It is this power quality that growing plants take from the soil . It is the same power quality that the egg takes from the hen and the new-born animal takes from its mother. ‘‘When the electric current first penetrates the soil, the latter must be moi$t, and the first treatment is to kill insects and small animal life. The second treatment kills the weeds and fixes the nitrogen of the air in the soil so that the nitrogen, oxygen and carbon combine with the moisture of the soil and produce viable carbonate of ammonia, which I have termed ‘Electro-C.

There is no evidence to be found anywhere that Mother Earth is wasting away. Soils that are infer tile may be compared with an electric battery when it is run down. In the case of a dead battery it is only nec essary to restore its essential elements “Mounted in the plow are two aeri als as with other radio equipment. These have partly the function of re ceiving and partly that of a sending station. Instead of broadcasting the static energy, the apparatus sends it into the soil.” , Mr. Roe declares that he will ex plode the theory of rotation of crops by growing the same crops several times in a single field.

The lo cal merchant should keep the home fires burning by liberal and incessant use of his advertising mediums. The lo cal community is sure to read some ad vertisements and they might as well be yours. What Herman Rosenthal says is as true as Gospel. The house that doesn’t advertise is losing business. It is not alone losing business locally, but it per mits the mail order houses to step in and take business away. The man who is getting the business is the one who h$s the goods, who gives the service and who advertises. He is winning success because he deserves it. The successful merchant advertises as many weeks in the year as he wants business. Are you a real merchant or an ordi nary store-keeper? I •j- * EPISCOPAL The Epiphany Laurens, S. C. Rev. E. N.
