or Tripoli. Then occurred the famous
exploit of Decatur, whic Nelson pro-
nounced 1.-The most daring act of the
age" But even Preble was not aggres-
sive enough, and in 1906 he was relieved
by Barron with a new ship. The squad
ron now consisted of ten vessels, some
rated at II guns and the largest at "A.
But this was not sufficient to awe the
whole coast of Africa, and all the Bar
barry powers were becoming more or less
hostile. In 1905 a land expedition was led
against Tripoli by Eaton, United States
consul at Tunis, who formed the plan OF
marching from Egypt overland. He de-
sired to aid Hamet, whom he called the
rightful prince of Tripoli, who was then
in exile in Tunis.
Eaton carried through his scheme with
some manner of success. With Hamet
and a nondescript army he reached the
province of Tripoli. After march
through the desert and by the co-opera-
ton of the squadron, the town of Derne
was captured. This. and a threatening
attack on Tripoli, brought the Basha to
terms and he agreed on peace without
tribute. But Hamet was not restored.
The Bey of Tunis was also overawed and
expressed a desire to send an ambassa-
dor to the United States, which was
dc2e.
AS for tribute. when the ambassador
mentioned the subject he was refused ana
did not press the matter. The conclusion
to these proceedings was reached ten
years later, when the Dey of Algiers de-
clared war against the United States,
Decatur appeared in the Mediterranean
captured two Algerian ships and COM
PEELED the Dey to sign a treaty by which
all American prisoners were set free and
all claims to tribute was renowned. With
this ended the terror inspired by the Bar
barry powers.

Shortly after Thomas Jefferson was in
Quoted into Office on March L. 1901, he
took seriously into consideration the
Expectations of the corsairs of Tripoli
upon our commerce. The Moslem powers
of North Africa had for some wears been
pacified with money, until 2.eOOOOO had
been used to purchase immunity from
their piratical vessels. But they became
more 'insolent, and on June 10, 1901, to
secure a larger tribute, declared war
against the United States. This chal-
lenge was accepted, and instead of pay
ing further tribute the president sent
Commodore Dale with three frigates and
a sloop of war, to the Mediterranean.
The Mohammedan pirates we're in the
habit of sallying forth from their ports
and harbors and capturing the rich mer-
chat vessels from any country. Euro
pean nations had ceased resisting them
by force of arms and had adopted tn"
method of paying yearly tribute as
means of buying protection. Many of our
vessels had been captured and confls-
Gated and the seamen sold into slavery.
When Commodore Dale and his squad
ron of four ships arrived, the sight of
the American broadsides and the de-
struction of a Tripolitan vessel which
proved necessary, we're found to have a
most soothing effect upon the ruffied
pride of the monarchs of the Barbary
states When Dale considered 1t safe, he
returned home, but left two ships on the
coast. In the succeeding years, 1902 and
1903, this force was strengthened, and
many combats took place between 1t and
the pirate vessels.
There was some sort of order, but at
home the government felt that not
enough was being done, and in 1903
new squadron was sent out under Pre-
Bile. to act particularly against the Basha

We have tested a good many varieties
of soy beans and can recommend the
following as among the best: Tho San
Yellow, Extra Early Black, Medium
Green, Medium Yellow. and the NAM
moth Yellow. There is some variation
in yield, of course, depending on the soil
and season. We have found the Mann
moth Yellow the most prolific of all
the varieties to grow for grain. 1t is a
late. long season variety, however
One wishing to grow these crops in sue
ccssion should plant. for instance. the
Extra Early Black, the Medium Green
and the Mammoth Yellow. They will
mature so as to furnish a succession of
grazing for hogs or other live stock,
and will ripen into hay If you desire to
use them in that manner, so that all do
not need to be harvested at one time
This might enable you to avoid a bad
spell of weather, and is otherwise an
advantage on farms where labor is diff
ficult to secure.
Soy beans should be planted in drills
% to IS inches apart. The beans should
be dropped from IL to Is inches in the
drill row. We prefer the thicker plant
ing so as to insure a more perfect stand.
This crop may be planted with a drill.
Just as cowpeas or other legumes of
that character. 1t is hardy in all parts
of Georgia, and whenever we have OBJ
served it growing has made a satisfac-
tory return TO the farmer If the land
was properly prepared and fortified
and good cultivation given the crop. The
beans may be planted at any season that
will be satisfactory for cowpeas. We
have some planted already on the col
lege farm. The first purchase of seed is
expensive. but you may gather your
own seed from year to year. The soy
bean is bushlike and upright In it's hab-
it's OF growth and may be cut with
corn harvester or ordinary binder. They
must be cut rather on the green side,

portion at time eff planting and the other
portion at second blowing Of the cotton?
The question of making one or two APP
plications to cotton Is a cebatable one.
Many claim that one application is as
satisfactory as two or more, but we
think this will depend a good deal on the
condition of the soil. For example. if
we were going to put 500 pounds OF fer
tllizer under cotton which was to be
grown on land deficient, we would be in
clined 10 make two applications. In fact,
we tried this plan on the college farm
with excellent results. Last year the two
applications can not be said to have been
nightly beneficial on land of this type be-
cause the ground was so very dry that
there was not enough moisture TO con-
vey the fertilizer to the plant so 1t could
bei used advantageously. On land on
which, for instance. we were using
compost at the rate OF two tons per acre
under the drill row, we would be inclin-
ID to put the whole 500 pounds in at the
time of seeding. The same would be true
on land on which crop rotations We're
practiced. and especially IL leguminous
crops had been grown to some extent the
past .ear.
Another method which we believe is
probably safe and satisfactory as any for
the farmer to pursue is 10 put all of his
mixed fertilizer under the drill row at
the time of planting, and then top dress
with nitrate Of soda later on In the sea-
son. If the crop is not making a develop
nlent of leaf stalks (which is desirable
In that case we would use a fertilizer
containing about 2 per cent of nitrogen,
Il per cent OF phosphoric acid and per
cent to per cent of potash. depending
on the degree of sand in the soil. We
would put this fertilizer under the drill
row. Since the phospheric acid and pot
ash will not be easily leached from the
soil and then we would depend on apply

will stimulate the plants ability to take
up the phosphoric acid and potash which
has been put under the drill row.
