"Mr. Roosevelt will be re-elected,” predicts The News and Courier, but not as a result of any support—moral or otherwise—of the Cherleston ga zette. With the football superiority of Clemson and Carolina to be decided today and that of The Citadel and Carolina to be threshed out next week, we can then turn to the relatively trival matter of electing a President. Returns from Charleston in The Literary Digest’s poll indicate only about three-to-one majority for Roose velt in the City by the Sea. Evident ly, the railing of The News and Cour ier against the New Deal is bearing fruit. The News and Courier complains that "there are those who say that The News and Courier never has a kind word for the Roosevelt adminis tration" and claims that *it has prais ed many of Mr Roosevelt's policies." There is such a thing aa "damning with fstat praise" and if the attitude of ottr Charleston contemporary to wards the Roosevelt administration has keen -friendly, "we'd certainly hate ta incur the enmity of Doctor Ball and his "four or ft*e paid editorial writ ers’" All of which again leads us to remark that the garrulous sad com. shoo id haul down the Democratic en- aagn sad soil under her true mors Mr Meeker 1 Htoeer. the dorpoo. ■Sen Pressdent of these United Stole*.

The fret that the roil* of Barnwell County ha-c been in eultivatien a< long a* they have under the one crop *ystem ha." tauned the soil to become impoverished. Cotton is the only plant, it seems that will continue to do well under my sort of treatment. However, it has lievome apparent that so me’other crop will have to he laised in order that the farmer may make a living. It is quite true that there are a number of crops which are raised upon the soils of the county, however, to raise them profitably it is very necessary that the soils of the coun ty be improved. In the main the soils of Barnwell County are sandy in character. The characteristics of such soils are as follows: 1st.—They permit the water to pass down too fieely; 2nd.—They admit the passage of air too easily through the soil, causing the destruc tion of organic matter that is in the soil. 3rd.—They absorb heat too rapidly, causing the evaporation of the soil water; as a result a premature riping and in many cases the burning of the crops. 4th.—The sand’s ability to take up and to hold the soluble plant food compounds is slight, allow ing the rapid leaching of plant food. Little can be done to change the struc ture of our soils, however, we are able to replace plant food through fertiliza tion and the repl nish the all important organic matter through the use of green maunre, cover crops and farm Through the use of green manure crepe the physical efcararUriatics of As sandy soils can bo changed. Thus K lend* tn rteoe the opening* la the •and and tn mske the snnds teas like ly tn freely pnm hath the air and eater through them led.—It will a her cementing power.—Though leas •tirky than clay, decompooed organ* matter ia sticky enough tn mntonsliy! aid in the holding together of the coarse particle* of the light sandy saila. The government, 'hrough the soil! ((•nservation program is urging the use of the green manures. Vetch, Austrian winter peas and rye planted in the cotton middles to be turned un der giien next spring, will aid ma terially in the putting of this mu» h needed organic matter into our soils. It is said that the soils of India na annually lost more organic matter 'han the soils cf South Caro lina contain. Because of the tremen dous amount of organic matter these soils have, however, Indiana land is much more fertile than those of South Carolina. Since the government is of fering to pay the farmer to put this valuable material into his.soil it seems rather foolish for him not to avail himself of the opportunity. Organic matter is extremely impor-. taut to the soils of Barnwell County for the following reasons. 1st.’—It will increase the water holding power of the soil. 2nd.—It will improve the stiucture of the soil in that it will serve to bind sandy soil together, di minish the excessive porosity of the soil, prevent abnormal leaching of plant food, and finally lessen the drift ing of the soil by winds and erosion by rains. 3rd.—It will increase the availability of mineial nutriments through the action of decomposed or ganic matter, which produces acid compounds that dissolve mineral con stituents of the soil that has special value in relation to potassium and phosphorous ^empounds. It is these forms of plant food in available form that ia moat closely associated with organic matter. 4th.—It will increase the soil's nitrogen as moat of the soil’s nitrogen comes from organic matter.
