almost anybody to beat Brown.
This report is indicative OF several
received of late from other counties.
The race has now simmered down to

The Brown forces are not only
working to elect a governor. but they
hope to overcome their small SHOWING

PREMIER M|N|MzES
JEWISH EXPULSION

ST. PETERSBURG, June H.-The Ros-
STA prints today an official statement by
Premier Stolypin in his capacity as min
lister of the interior, regarding the Jew
ish explosions and in which the premier
minimizes the extent of the governments
campaign.
According to the minister. the Hebrews
in Kiev who were subject to expulsion
number 446. The government Is disposed
to relax the rigor of the law so far as
ii is practical in Kiev and other places,
particularly to the advantage of Jews
who were we'll established in business.
This policy has been carried out in the
Caucasus. The statement sets forth that
structions to the provincial authorities
to prohibit Hebrews from residing at
summer resort regions and in their villas
in suburban localities whore, through a
strict Interpretation of the inent of the
law, they would not be entitled to resi-
dence.
The statement deals at length with the
expulsion of school children from Mos
COW and explains that professional won-
en- enjoying a right of residence outside
the pale may not confer the same priv
ilege upon their children. Accordingly,
four mid-wives at Moscow were obliged
to send their children to their husbands
living within the pale.
The minister of the interior made an
exception in the case OF one midwife
who had been divorced, permitting her
to keep her child with her.

her impatience of restraint and her
self-conhdence."
And yet, when the room which the
murdered girl had occupied while in
Naples was searched, many love let
tiers were found, letters from several
American cities.
Though Miss Reid was independent
ly rich, she insisted upon lodging in
the poorer classes of hotels while tour
ing Europe. She made no friends, and
seemed entirely devoted to art.
She was about to inherit another
fortune and the police are trying to
establish a connection between this
fact and the theory of abduction.
Workmen employed near the shore have
told of a mysterious yacht, supposedly
an American boat On the day that the
girl met her death the yatch anchored
closely within the harbor; the succeed
ing day it was farther from the shore.
On the Sunday morning when Miss
Reds body was found upon the beach,
the yacht was again seen. A small boat
was lowered from it, in which were
three men, who made a careful search of
the beach and then returned to the
yacht, which sailed away with its un-
known owner and mysterious crew as
suddenly as 1t had arrived.
That Miss Reid was murdered is an
established fact, for the horrible stabs
in her breast were delivered by strong
er arm than hers, and had she had the
strength, it Is improbable that she could
have thrust a knife into her breast the
second time, after one deep cash had
sent the life blood squirting.
Naples is tremendously excited over
the myster. The Princess Rospigliosi,
who was the wealthy American widow,
Mrs. Parlxhurst. when she married the
prince in 1901, and was formely the beau
tiful Miss Reid, of New Orleans, rushed
to Naples from her palace in Rome. and
has offered to spend every cent of her
large income to effect the capture of the
murderers.
Estelle Reid was 80 years of age. She
was a graduate of Bryn Mawr, and had
studied art in Europe year. Her
grandfather Samuel Chester Reid. was
captain in the United States navy dur
ing the war of 1872

elements which the plant can extract
from the air in practically unlimited
quantity and which the farmer is never
called on to supply to his soil Why,
therefore, IL the farmer can exchange
his seed for meal to any advantage
whatever should he not do so? If he
can not do this, we would certainly be
the last to advise him to continue the
practice; but we are inclined to think
that there is much prejudice against
the exchange very often without any
tangible reason.
AS a matter of fact, it is difficulty to
make up a high-grade formula for either
corn or cotton where seed are used since
they contain less than half of the fer
tilizing constituents of a ton of meal,
but If you were to take $50 pounds of
high grade acid phosphate, 900 pounds
of seed, and $50 pounds of muriate of
potash, making in all one ton, fertil-
izing formula could be made containing
approximately 20 pounds of nitrogen, 1853
pounds of phosphoric acid and IS pounds
of potash per ton. The percentage COM
position would be IA per cent of nitrogen.
81 per cent Of phosphoric acid and 2
per cent of potash. This fertilizer would
be low in phosphoric acid and potash
for sandy soils, and low in nitrogen for
all soils, except possibly those on which
considerable compost or farmyard man.
ure can be used, or where cowpeas or
other legumes had been plowed under
the year before. The defect might be
overcome by ,top-dressing with nitrate
OF soda at the rate of $50 to 200 pounds
per acre, but as a rule IL will cost more
to buy nitrogen in the form of nitrate
of soda than in cotton seed meal. This
would. however. enable the farmer to
use his seed under corn and cotton, If
he believes it more desirable to do so.
Hulls have very little fertilizing
value. A ton of them would not con-
tain more than 1873 pounds of nitrogen,
8 pounds of phosphoric acid and 20. a
pounds of potash, and it will thus be
seen that the land can never be made
rich through the use of hulls even in
large amounts.
IN conclusion, we wish to say that no
doubt some mills try to take advantage
Of the farmer in making an exchange,
and do not given him a square deal.
Where the farmer is doubtful about the
right basis of exchange, we would in
wife him to write to us, and we will
advise him what is best to do with his
seed.

COW. HORSE AND GASOLINE
ENGINE ARE STOLEN BY BOY?

Judge Roam and the superior court
are occupied Wednesday with the case OF
Earl Vaughn, a white boy, who, ac-
cording to the county police, has stolen
with in the last three years a COW, a
horse and a gasoline engine-or maybe
IL was locomotive; there seems to be
some uncertainty.
The present charge, that of stealing
the horse, is aggravated, because the
alleged theft was committed from a
blind man, w. E. Halliburton, of "a Pet
ers street.
The CHIEF defense is that the boy is
weak-minded or insane, not knowing
right from wrong, anu evidence was
submitted to show that he has once been
in an asylum. A physician also testi-
fed that when he had examined the boy
at the Jail, he seemed TO have a very
low order of intelligence, not knowing

GEORGIA FRUIT EXCHANGE
CLAIMS DISCRIMINATION

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Complaint
was made today to the interstate COM
merce commission by the Georgia Fruit
Exchange of Atlanta, representing about
1000 Georgia fruit growers, against the
Southern railway and other carriers, OF
what is alleged to be unreasonable and
discriminatory minimum carload weights
on fruit.
The present minimum for carload
of fruit is 22,500 pounds. The shippers
want a minimum of 1900 pounds, on
account of the difficulty of proper hand
ling and refrigeration. 1t is asserted that
much of Georgia's annual average of g.
900 cars of fruit shipped north is lost by
delay in transit through inadequate re-
frigeration and too dense packing in the
car.

mills make an inordinate profit out of
cottonseed. For your information / have
tried to figure out about what Is obtained
from a ton OF cottonseed by the mill man
at the present time. You understand that
these figures will vary with the different
sections of the state, and with the prices
prevailing for seed and meal at any time
of the year.
Cottonseed meal. s07 pounds, at
$50 a tom. go. .... ......$ 10
Lint, 40 pounds, at 1-2c.. - :. go
Hulls, 700 pounds, at 40c per 10o...... ESQ
Oil, 42 gallons, at 40c.... ...... 1850
Waste. 15S pounds. ,..... OOO
Total. -. ..soz.oV
From the above you will see that the
meal contained in a ton of seed Is worth
about 1910, the linters about 60 cents, tie
huIls $3.50 and the oil $3.50. There is a
waste of approximately 1853 pounds in
every ton of seed due to the leaves, trash
and other materials contained therein.
This makes total value for the products
obtained from a ton of seed of about
$3.50 The operating cost of handling 4
ton of seed in a fair-sized mill is not less
than $525. The net value Of ton of
seed to the mill owner, therefore, at pres
ent prices is approximately $27. AS seed
are selling for SIS ton in Athens at the
present time, and we presume at a pro-
portionate price throughout the state, the
mill owner apparently makes profit Of
something like 50 per ton of seed handled,
which considering the investment made
and the risk he runs, and making no al
lowance for many items OF expense which
have to be met, will not leave him a large
profit.
Valuing available nitrogen at IS cents a
pound, phosphoric acid at As cents, and
\ sn1.
probably as low figures as you can buy
these materials for in a commercial form,
ton of cottonseed meal is worth about
SIS for fertilizing purposes alone, and
since II has been shown that 300 pounds
of cottonseed meal are equivalent in fer
tilizing value to a ton of seed, l 800 pounds
of meal are equivalent in fertilizing value
20 about two tons of seed. The farmer
who can obtain s25 a ton for his seed
and has four tons to sell, and can buy
I,s00 pounds of meal for the price of a
ton OF seed can put $50 in cash in mis-
pocket and have the fertilizing value of
four tons of seed left in the $500 pounds
of meal secured by the exchange. Does
this look like a poor trade for the farm
err? II he would utilize the meal in feed
ing horses and cattle, as he could, and
obtain it's value in animal nutrition, his
profits would be materially increased by
the transaction. AS matter of fact,
cottonseed meal blends more readily with
phosphates and potash and can be mixed
and applied as fertilizer easier than
the seed.
The advantage in selling the seed to
the mill from their point of view lies
I'm the fact that the oil is put into the
channels of commerce and creates bust
ness and industry which benefit the
farmer. When put into the soil 1T is of
no benefit to the crop or to the land. but
rather detriment. The constituents of
oil are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

1t is gratifying to know that you have
found so much OF interest and benefit in
the agricultural columns of The Journal,
for it is our purpose to so treat the ques-
tions sent in as to make the answesr of
the most service to those who till tae
soil.
1t may be very difficult for you to ap-
preciate the difference between cotton
seed and cotton seed meal, but there is a
difference nevertheless. For instance ton
OF cotton seed contains approximately
SIS pounds OF nitrogen, 25.4 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 23.4 pounds of potash.
A ton Of cotton seed meal contains APP
proximately 1858 pounds Of nitrogen, SIS
pounds of phosphoric acid and ia pounds
of potash Suppose you can obtain $3.50
for ton OF cotton seed, the price pre-
vailing in Athens today, and you can buy
a ton of cotton seed meal at $500 or
even 5000, is il not perfectly clear to
you that il is better TO sell the seed and
buy the meal? You can see at once that
you obtain more than twice as much nj
trogen and phosphoric acid in a ton of
cotton seed meal as in q ton of seed at
an additional cost to you over the value
OF the seed Of from $500 TO $500. This
statement OF the case is true beyond
question of doubt, for the chemist has
shown us the approximate composition
of cotton seed and cotton seed meal. In
what way, therefore. am making a mis-
take in advising the farmer to sell his
seed and buy meal?
In very careful and elaborate tests
made by various experiment stations. in
GLIDING a number of the leading ones in
the south, and the United States depart
ment OF agriculture as well. it has shown
nan A. 81 x1yhn
applied in the field against a ton of seed
has given a greater increase of lint cot
ton per acre to the grower than the seed.
You understand that when this test was
made that the same amounts of CONNER
cial phosphoric acid and potash were al,-
piled with both meal and seed. II this
be true and there is no reason to doubt
the accuracy OF these experiments, since
they have been repeatd over and over
and made in widely separated sections
of the country. why should the farmer
desire to use cotton seed in place of cot
ton seed meal?
1t is nothing to me individually, as you
very well know, whether the farmer
sells his seed or keeps it, but / would be
untrue to my trust If l were to advise
the farmer to pursue a policy which
has been shown to be inadvisable in the
face OF the Investigations which I have
cited for your information. II you want
to use cottonseed under your corn or
cotton. there is no objection TO doing so.
provided you understand, first Of all. that
you must use more than twice as much
cottonseed by weight as you do of meal
to give your crop the same proportionate
allowance Of nitrogen and other essential
plant GOOD elements.
