W.G.Wilson&Co * \ GROUND LIMESTONE. The first edition of 25,000 copies of "Farm Truth No. 1" issued by the Southern Settlement and Development Organization, bearing the title "Ground Limestone for Southern Soils," by Dr. Cyril 0. Hopkins, Direc tor of Agriculture of the Organization is, being distributed throughout the Southern States. It is going to farm ers, live stock raisers, newspapers, farm journals, agricultural colleges, boards of Crade and kindred organ izations and individuals who are in terested in quickening the develop ment of the South. It is a pamphlet of 38 pages, written in simple lan guage and goes into the details of the -methods of using limestone to cor rect soil acidity, giving the reasons for its use. The author, until recent ly, was head agronomist and chemist of the College of Agriculture of the University of Illinois, and is the orig inator of the Illinot ssystem of ag riculture based upon the use of lime stone. The opening paragraph sets forth the situation -in the Southern States. as the author sees It, as follows: "0 limestone country is a rich coun try.' This is a proverb and a truism much older than American agricul ture. But every soil can be made a limestone soil, simply by liberal at) plications of pulverized limestone. The initial application of four tons per acre of ground limestone, with subsequent applications of two tons per acre every four years, will make and -maintain a limestone soil on every Southern farm; and this is the first great economic stelf to be taken in that positive soil enrichment which is needed to treble the average acre yield of the land now under cultiva tion and to restore to profitable -ag ricultural use the vast areas of tilla ble land now lying neglected or agri culturally abandoned in most South ern States." Taking up the question of the inti mate relationship between limestone and legumes Dr. Hopkins writes: "With liberal application of lime stone (and phosphorus or pottassium added, if needed) most Southern soils can be made to prdouce abundant crops of such valuable biennial or perennial legunies as red clover, al sikp clover, sweet clover (mellilotus) and alfalfa; and these when infected with the proper bacteria have direct access, almost twelve months in the year, to the inexhaustible supply of nitrogen in the air. The biennial and periennial legumes store up very much more nitrogen and organic nat ter in their roots than (1o the annual plants, such as cowpeas, and one seed ing (sometimes with a nurse crop and with no extra preparation of the seed bed) may provide a legume crop to occupy the land for from two years to five years or more. "These deep-rooting legumes are the 'best subsoilers,' and in nmany ways they are the best soil-improv ing crops. Furthermore, they are splendid pasture crops, and if not cropped too closely (a bad practice for any pasture) they will furnish grazing from early spring till early winter. These are among the most valuable crops in profitable livestock farming;' and nothing is needed more for the- development of live stock in the South. Moreover, clover and al falfa are the best crops5 to precede corn, as is well known by every corn belt farmer. "Limestone and legumes must con stitute the foundation for corn and cattle in the South."' The pamphlet quotes many well known agricultural authorities in sup port of the limestone doctrine andl gives a iist of sources and the cost of ground limestone, in the several S'outhern Staites. There is a foreword by Vice President W. H. Mansa of the Organization, in which he says: "It is wveil known that the South possesses the only extensive ar'eas'o't unused tillable landls in thme humid parts of the United States and a'ffords the finest agricultural climate with abundant'rain fali, which is normally well distributed. "The result of every nation-wide contest in the growing of our mne important cereal crop)-corn-estab lishes the fact that the South is cli matically capable of enormous crop production. - The so-called "Corn "Belt" .never has equalled and never can equal the South in the possible acre yield of -corn when soil lImita tions are removed by proper fertiliza tion. "Is it not in line with sane optimism to venture the suggestion that it is nWithin the pr~ctical nn~ethility to move the corn belt to the Southeast Soil enrichment Is the one factor of influence which can double crop yields and maintain those higher yields, and this factor of soil enrich mnent not only can double but redou ble -the present averag4 acre yields of the Southlanq. "This publication, 'Ground Lime stone for Southern 8'oils.' is issued in the hope that it will aid the efforts of the agricultural colleges of the Southern States, the industrial and agricultural departments of South ern railroads, the agricultural maga zines and papers and the newspapers of the South In spreading the propa ganda of soil enrichment by the adop tion of a rational system of perma nent soil improvement In general farming on Southern soils.'

From a valued correspondent conies the Information that during the last flve years young negroes, between the ages of twenty and thirty years, have acquired fifty houses in the town of Bennettsville. When a man shows tax receipts for the preceding year for taxes paid on )roporty assessed at $300 or more he can obtain a registration certificate whether or not he can read and write. According to the census of 1910, the average farm owned by a negro in South' Carolina contains 40.7 acres and is of the value of $1,085. There are 20,372 of these farms of negroes in the State. When the negro is thrifty and in dustrious he is more likely to become a property-holder than is the white wan similarly situated, for the reason that his tastes are simpler, he is sat infled with coarser rood and a poorer house and he can save more out of his earnings. The report of our eState superinten dent of education shows that in the great white counties of South Caro lina, Spartanburg, Hlorry, Piekens, Anderson, Oconee and Greenville, the habit of sending white children to school is less general than in other counties. In many of the counties having heavy negro majorities, on the other hand, negro chool attendance is general. Business is no respecter of color. When a negro becomes an indepen dent landowner, he doesn't lack friends. The .merchant wants his cus tom, so does the horse and mule dealer, the wagon seller, the banker, the lawyer, the newspaper publisher and every business man. That is what Booker Washington knows and that is what lie preaches; that is what a thousand negro teachers and preach ers are dinning into negro cars in South Carolina every day and every night. There is no present danger of negro influence in South Carolina politics and we can foresee no future menace of "negro domination," but in 1939, twenty-five years hence, if there shall be fifty thousands negroes owning homes and farms in South Carolina, who can say that they wvill not zacek to vote? The white people of South Carolina do not perceive the real situation. Their political leaders won't let them see it. They refuse to recognize that white farmers owned fewer acres in 1910 than in 1900 while negro farm ers owned more. The number of nie gro farm owners is now almost htalf the number of white farm owners. The great, staring fact and problem in South 'Carolina is the number of iandi~ess white men. There are 35,000 white farm teanants and only 45.000 white farm owners. Twenty-five thousand white men, living in the houses owned by corporations, are working in the cotton mills. Twenty fiye or thirty thousand other white wage earners live in rented houses in towns and cIties. More than half the whole number of white men in South Carolina have only their hands and their wages. The illiterate and the propertyless whild man can vote in the primary, the real election, and noe he is denied the' incentive to get land and learning. The negro must get one or the other to get the ballot and he is getting both. Trho 'tate of South Carolina, con sofftisly or unconsciously, is working overtime to k'een the poor white man poor and in darkness while it is forc ing and driving zmnd goading the negro to come out of darkness.--The State.
