Dear Sir: 1 am in receipt of a let ter from Prof. Barrow asking me to arrange for him to hold two farmers institutes in the county during the summer. I wrote him to arrange the dates and at our county union in form new and wonderful combina- we would arrange the places*, tions, make and unmake substances.

Most of the elements of plant growth are abundant in the earth, but they are insoluble. Plants can not use them as solids; hence the county seat, as has been the custom heretofore. Now these institutes will be held with the locals making the best bid, but my idea is to have one in the lower and one in the up- need of these acids.' The potash, per part of the county.

We are in receipt of an invitation to attend a good roads rally at Char leston, Tuesday, July 12, under aus pices of Charleston Automobile Club. Topics affecting good roads from Charleston to Columbia, Florence, Augusta, Savannah and all intermed iate and adjacent points will be dis cussed by prominent speakers. phosphoric acid, and lime mus fed to plants in water. It is thought that the cArbon, which is the Jargest part of the wood of trees and stoms of plants, must pass from the at mosphere into the earth, and through the roots into the plant. The nitrogen must come from the air also and pass through similar changes in the soil. All manures, whether animal, chemical, or vege table. must be decomposed in the soil, become soluble and feed the plant from the soil through the sap.
