Christina* we eorooi^nd the following
extracts from a recent speech at Sum
t.-r of Prof. Barrow of Cleinson Col
lege ; '*
Prof. Barrow then touched upon
condition* pertaining to the fertility
of the soil He considered it not stm
ply h matter of the quantity of plant
food, but how to get, at and utili/.e the
plant food already in the soil. I his
year 14.000,000 pounds of tnix.-d ferti-
izer* and 3,000.00'I pounds of cotton
seed meal were used In the State of
South Carolina. The State ltd* year
produced only 1.100 000 hales of cotton.
In four year* the increased u«e of
manufactured fertilizer* ha* been 60
per cent, while the increase of cotton
reduction ha* been only 25 per cent
lotion most pay this hid of about 116
per bale. There are other conditions
of more importance than plant food in
le soil. Often soil* with plemy of
Gant food in them refuse to province
plant*. Plants can only take f > I that
has been dissolvtd in *»ter, and mile**
the plant, food la soluble in water it i*
absolute y without benefit. Tne prob
lem is to render the plant fund avail*
ble and the que*tion is how? Among
tne most active agent* for tills purpose
are the oxygen and carbonic acid in the
air Moisture I* also, of prime impor
tance. An excess will prevent plants
from thriving on account of it* ex
cluding the air. A deficiency of mois
ture prevents the proper solution of
plant food. Moisture is also of im
portance because it enters so largely
into tne com po.it ion of the plants, for
every pound of diy matter used in the
production of an car of corn, 300
that amount of water I* used, which is
brought up to the plant by capillary
attraction. In dry weather frequent
stirring of the surface soil is the best
way to hold (ho moisture, the stirred
up portion acts a* a sponge. Frequent
all a I low stirring i* the best wav to hold
moi-tute if soil is compact It ivill not
(Irle.k op moisture, and for thi* clas* of
soils deep full breaking Is great y to its
betterment; sir i* let into the soil and
with it the cold which freeze* and
thaw* to a great depth.
Decaying vegetable matter not only
return* to the soil all that D ha* taken
out of it. but in decomposition it sop-
niie* other plant foods by reason of its
fermentation. Decaying vegetable
matter if turned in w ill enable the soil
to hold it* moisture, and assist Its
caplllaty attraction, it i* of great im
provement to the mechanical condition
of tine soil*.

of the Humphrey bill. The Demo
crats desired to offer several amend
ments and Representatives Sulzer,
Clark of Florida and Kuaterman had
notified the committee that they de
sired hearings on their own ship
subsidy bills.
"The action of the Republicans
is an outrage,’’ declared Representa
tive Alexander of the committee.
We were given no chance to con
sider the bill or to be heard upon
it. In the face of direct promises
they have ’railroaded’ this bill,
through. It la an Insult to the
minority of the committee, to the
house itself and to the country at
large."
The executive session of the com
mittee was characterized by tense
feeling. The Democrats endeavored
to secure an adjournment and to
amend the bill but were voted down.
An amendment was offered striking
out the subsidy sections of the bill
but It was lost.
In answer to the Impassioned ap
peals of‘the Dsemocrats Mr. Hum
phreys turned a deaf ear, answering
that immediate action os the bill
was imperative. When the final vote
was taken it was shown that Repre
sentative Humphreys had figured
correctly on a safe majority for his
measure.

evidence. —
