College Notes

In celebration of the end of
Mld-Winter examinations the COL
iese students had 'night-shirt"
parade on Friday morning. The
boys, numbering about thirty-fve.
assembled on the Dormitory steps
dressed in night shirts, pajamas
and bath robes, about two o'clock
FRIDAY morning. After forming
IN ranks they marched down
MAN street to the Newark Center
Station.
Heading the procession was a
part OF the Cadet band, consisting
OF several correts, "a fife. and
some tin pans as drums. On the
way down the street the BOYS
stopped in front of each house in
which there were students room
ing and gave very unique yell
lhe first part of the yell was -
Wc'lt the boys that fear no
noise" That this was true there
is not a particle of doubt left in
the minds OF the people on Main
street. AS the parade passed on
down the street several heads were
seen peering from behind shut
ters and from open windows.
These heads soon disappeared,
upon the laughter of the BOYS.
After march, lg around for
about an hour, singing and max
ing good deal of racket the boys
went back to the "Dorms" where
they dispersed after singing the
Alma Mater"
Monday witnessed the begin
ming of the second semester at
Delaware College. The opening
OF the second semester is, to many
of the students, much like the
opening of the new year. 1t is the
time of year that vows" are taken
by many OF the students to Study
more next semester" Many
times, however, these vows" are
broken. but we hope there will be
but few such cases this year.

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT
kept A LOBBY, HE SAYS

WASHINGTON. Jan. discharges by
Delegate Wickersham that President
Taft and former President Roosevelt
had maintained in Washington an Alas
kan lobby in the persons of former Gov
ernor, W. B. Hoggatt and Mai. w. p.
Richardson, an army officer, are re-
vealed by proofs made public today of
legislative hearing before the senate
committee on territories, on the Alaskan
legislative council bill.
Counter charges by Mr.. Hoggatt that
Judge Wickersham 'fs humbugging"
further enlivens the situation.
While making his remarks. Judge Wick
ersham was called to order by Senator
Beveridge, chairman of the committee
The committee decided that a portion of
the testimony should not appear in the
printed record.
Chairman Beverage said to the COM
mittee:
"A witness would not be permitted TO
make such q reflection upon motives of
the president of the United States in any
committee of which 1 was chairman, even
if that Office were filled by William Jen-
nings Bryan or a Prohibitionist or a So
cialist."
Today's publication of records showed
that Mr.. Wickersham claimed that the
lobby was maintained in the interest of
the Guggenseims.

EXTRAD|TION MAY Be
ASKED FOR BR|TTON
Lawyers in Burge Case Say
They Will Ask for 1t on
Wednesday Afternoon

Upon the statement OF one of the attor
neys in the case, extradition will be form
ally requested from the governor, We'd
nesday afternoon, for the person OF Frank
Judson Britton, now on the soil OF Ala
bama and in the hands of police authori-
ties OF the city of Birmingham.
Britton, a son of the late Mrs. George
Burge. who was murdered in Atlanta last
sumner. is specifically charged with that
murder by lawyers for Burge, Britton's
stepfather. Burge is now in death cell
in the Fulton county jail, pending expira-
ton of a three-weeks' respite, under SEN
tence to be hanged for the crime Of which
his lawyers accuse Britton.
Governor Brown did not appear in his
office at the capitol Wednesday morning,
being absent in Marietta attending the
funeral of a friend. 1t was said that the
extradition papers would be sought dur
ing the afternoon.

rough condition, ii will absorb and hold
more of the rainfall. Disk 1t thoroughly
and put il i'm a fine condition before
seeding the oats. Then dEill them in
rather deeply, leaving the LANG ridged a.
much as possible, so in case OF severe
freeze the roots of the oats may be pro-
tected. BY all means drill in muriate of
potash and acid with the oats. 10-4
mixture should answer very well on land
such as you describe. We would use at
least 200 to 800 pounds per acre. The
sorghum will in a measure counterfeit
the benefit which the peas confer on
the land, but we would hardly apply
much nitrogen with the oats preferring to
wait the developments of the season, and
use nitrate of soda as top dressing on
this crop if it seemed essential to do so.
We would use the nitrate at the rate of
100 to $50 pounds per acre, it probably be-
ing best to apply the nitrate at two APP
plications the first to be made after
vigorous growth has developed in the
spring.
1t is certainly not good practice to crop
land devoted to pecan growth. You can
hardly hope to secure good results from
trees and a crop at the same time and
many orchards have been persistently in
jured by persistent cropping.
We would not think it advisable to sow
timothy herds grass or any of the other
grasses mentioned with oats In the spring.
In seeding these crops we would prepare
the land with great care and sow by
themselves, either fall or spring We
know that many people advocate a nurse
crop but we have secured the best re-
suits with grass by sowing alone. OF the
grasses mentioned we rather think tall
meadow oat grass is as hardy as any,
and as likely to succeed under your con-
ditions. Herds grass and timothy will do
best on moist bottom lands.

CORDELE, Ga, Jan. 25.-The mayor

has already affected savings of nearly
81 ,OOO.0 COO a year by eliminating unneces-

telephone company has swung into line
with the promise to give a uniform rate
for all city offices instead of charging

Questions Answered

PLANT FOOD REQUIREMENTS, OF
COTTON.
w. n. r., Andalusia, Ala, writes: Be
ing a subscriber to The Semi-Weekly
Journal l presume have a right to ask
some questions. 1 have some new ground,
some second and third year fresh lands
and some old land The land is a sandy
gray with good clay subsoil. 1 want to
put something like 81 or s. worth of COM
mercial fertilizer per acre. Would like
for you to suggest what kind of fertil-
izer / should use for both corn and cot
ton. The*land makes a good weed nat
urally
The agricultural department Of The
Semi Weekly Journal is maintained for
the benefit of subscribers, and you are
more than welcome to send in questions
concerning agricultural practice.
We would suggest you to use a high
grade fertilizer on your land, even though
you use a moderate amount. Sandy land
should have a fertilizer containing a fair
amount of potash, liberal percentage of
phosphoric acid, and unless it makes an
abundance of weed. good supply of nj
trogen as well. We would say that by
mixing together 500 pounds of high-grade
accid phosphate, 500 pounds of high-grade
tankage, 200 pounds OF muriate OF potash
and 200 pounds of rich woods earth, you
can prepare suitable fertilizer which
should be used at the rate of 800 to 800
pounds per acre. Providing the tankage
contains per cent of nitrogen and IL
per cent of phOsphoric acid, this fertiliz-
er would contain per ton approximately
GA pounds of nitrogen, 210 pounds of phos-
horic acid and 100 pounds of potash. This
would be equivalent to So per cent of nj
trogen, 1915 per cent of phosphoric acid
and per cent of potash. We are not GER
tain that tanllage will provide the cheap
est source Of nitrogen that you can use,
but ii will compare favorably in cost with
some of the other forms that are on the
market this year, since all heterogeneous
goods are rather high on account of the
unusual price which cotton seed meal is
commanding. We think this fertilizer
will answer very well for both corn and
cotton, and we believe we have advised
the use of sufficient percentage of phos-
phoric acid and potash to insure fairly
early maturity and a rather complete de-
velopment and ripening of the crop. This,
as you understand, is essential to secure
a good yield. since many of the bolls pro-
duced on our cotton now often fail to
mature. PhosphOric acid and potash be-
ing concerned in giving vigor and early
Maturity to the crop are therefore rec
commended for use in rather liberal
amounts

The formula you propose to use in the
making of your fertilizer would contain
approximately 52.5S pounds of nitrogen,
175 pounds of phosphoric acid, and "a
pounds of potash. This would give per-
centage composition of 2.62 per cent nitro
gen, 81 per cent phosphoric acid, and AZ
per cent potash. We would consider 1t
very good formula for cotton. The nj
trate of soda contained should be suf-
fcient to give the plants a quick, viSor-
Gus start and the cotton-seed meal would
furnish organic nitrogen in sufficient
quantity to meet the needs Of the grow
ing crop. We judge from your figures
that blood would cost You in the neigh
borhood Of $45 to $50 a ton, just what
grade you do not say. High grade blood
contains about II per cent nitrogen, low
grade L per cent. This would make the
nitrogen cost you between Is and 20 cents
a pound There are also various grades
of tankage. Concentrated tankage con-
tains about II per cent of nitrogen and l
