CLERICAL CORPS FOR NAVY
Bill in House Provides for Needed
Writers for War Ships.
A Modern Battle ship Similar TO
Banking House i'm Administra-
tive Method md Detail,

Representative Bates, of Pennsylvania
introduced a bin yesterday to provide for
a clerical corps for the navy. The bill,
which was referred to the Naval Affairs
Committee, il passed, will relieve situ-
alton which has been the source Of much
difficulty at times TO naval officers. The
modern battle ship. in common with 9TH
er war vessels. is as carefully admins
tered as the modern banking-house, and
is just as much in need of clerks. Hun
dreds OF reports, orders, tabulations, and
letters are written every day on the
larger modern war ships, and naval OFF,
GERS are not always able to find among
the enlisted men on the ships material
out Of which good clerks can be made.
Clerks are as much in demand on med
ern ships as gunners and seamen.
Representative Bates bin provides for
a corps consisting Of clerks. classified as
yoemen OF the first, second. and third
class, corresponding to the enlisted grades
Of chief petty officer and petty officers
of the first, second, and third class. As
sistant clerks will rank as chief petty Of
fcers. and chief clerks will have the same
rank as chief boatswains. Promotions
viii be made 10 the rank Of chief clerk
from a number Of assistant clerks, TO be
appointed by the President, Vacancies
among the corps Of assistant clerks. after
the corps is established, viii be filed
from the paymasters' corps of the navy.
No specific number Of appointments TO
be made by the President is mentioned IN
the bill The clerical corps Is TO be es-
tabllshed. under the bill. in the navy
and the ships of the Fish Commission and
the Coast Survey.

PENSIONS FOR LIFE SAVERS.

Before Congress gets through the pres
ent session, II became known yesterday,
II probably will have a chance 10 pro-
vide for the 1000 or more members OF
the United States Life Saving Service
According TO the plan as now outlined
both pensions for life savers who are re-
tired through disability and pensions for
families Of life savers who are killed In
the performance Of duty are contem-
plated.
At present the Life Saving Service is
about the only dangerous" department
of the government which has no pension
system. Senator Hale, Of Maine. ex-
pressed himself recently as favoring PEN
sions for life savers, although he is re-
garded as one Of the leading advocates of
economy.

Railroad Bill Returned.

The Townsend administration railroad
bill was reintroduced in the House yes
terday by It's author Representative
Townsend. OF Michigan. with many
amendments drawn by Attorney General
Wickersham. The principle of these
have to do with changes in the form Of
the bill, in the matter of the creation
Of the court OF commerce. in the regu-
lation of issues of stocks and bonds, and
in the inclusion o. the electric railways
of the country within the purview OF the
measure.

LUTHERAN CHURCH To
HOLD CONVENTION HERE

The next biennial session of the Uni
ted Synod of the Lutheran church, SOUTH
will be held in Atlanta in the fall of
1912. 1t will be the largest convention
that the Lutheran church south has ever
held Two delegates from every Lutheran
church in the south will attend the ses-
sion of the synod, and prominent Luth-
eran ministers will be present from
every part of the United States.
News that the next biennial session of
the synod will be held in Atlanta was
received in a telegram from Richmond,
Va, yesterday by A. c. VESSEL, of
jackson & VESSEL, druggists.
The synod met this year at Richmond,
and yesterday as one of the concluding
acts of the convention, selected Atlanta
as the place for the next session of the
synod.
Every possible effort was made in
bringing the next session of the synod
here. A delegate, Charles Steglitz, was
sent from Atlanta to Richmond, and
Mayor Robert F. Maddox, the Atlanta
Charmber of Commerce, and the FEEDER
alton of Trades sent kilograms to the
convention in Richmond, urging that the
synod convene in Atlanta in 1912.

You can secure seed OF the soy bean from
any seed dealer in the state. There is much
variation, however, in the varieties on the mar
ket and some of them are much better adapted
to certain conditions than others. Among the
best of the early maturing varieties are the
Black and the Tho San yellow; the best late
maturing varieties are probably the Mammoth
Yellow aud the Medium Green. You do not
state Just what you desire to grow the soy
beans for, but we presume as a grain crop or
grazing down with hogs. In either 1t is
well TO have two varieties so the crop will de-
veIop in somewhat of a succession. The soy
beans are best planted in drills "a inches apart.
About a half bushel of seed will be sufficient
TO plant an acre since the beans should not be
left closer than IL to Is inches apart in the
drill row. The beans very hard and not
injured on that account by the weevil. They
are also very rich In muscle-buildng elements,
and are fine TO feed along with corn for horses,
mules aud hogs. We have made much
400 to 900 pounds Of pork per acre from grazing
down a crop Of soy beans, and they have given
us in number of tests larger yield OF
grain per acre than cowpeas. The soy bean is
upright and bushy in its character of growth,
but II does not make as fine hay the cow
pea because II is coarser. 1t is a legume, how
ever and a soil improver and does well in most
sections Of Georgia. Do not attempt to cult
yate too large area at first, but expert
ment with the crop and learns its peculiarities
thoroughly possible, and then you
handle a larger area with greater success an
other year. You should fertilize IT with 200
to 500 pounds OF a 104 mixture per acre.

QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT
PLANT FOOD REQUIREMENTS OF POTATOES

and 90 pounds of sulphate of soda MAX
ing a total of 1900 pounds per acre.
This fertilizer would contain Sc pounds
of nitrogen, so pounds of available
phosphoric acid and 100 pounds of avail
able potash, and would have a percent
age composition of Al per cent of nj
trogen, 81 per cent Of phosphoric acid
and So per cent of potash. This for
mula could be used advantageously on
land deficient in available nitrogen and
vegetable matter.
II the potatoes were to be grown on
land where clover had been turned I'M
der and there was a fair amount of
vegetable matter in the soil a ferti-
liZer might be compounded as follows:
100 pounds of nitrate of soda, 200
pounds OF screened tankage, 300 pounds
OF acid phosphate and 200 pounds of
sulphate of potash. This fertilizer
would contain % pounds of nitrogen, 81
pounds of phosphoric acid and 100
pounds of potash, and the percentage
composition would be "a per cent of
nitrogen 6.s per cent of phosph ORIG acid
and 1875 per cent of potash. This fer
tilizer, as will be seen, contains but
little organic nitrogen.
Numerous products may enter into
the composition Of a potato fertilizer,
and as one may be cheaper in one sec
ton than another or more easily OBJ
tanned. several other formulas have
been suggested as follows: 200 pounds
Of high-grade acid phosphate 500
pounds of high-grade tankage, 500
pounds of high-grade acid phosphate
and 400 pounds of sulphate of potash,
making in all 1000 pounds. This mix
ture would contain 8 per cent of nitro
gen 7.e per cent Of available phos-
phoric acid and "a per cent of potash.
Another good mixture might consist
Of 200 pounds OF nitrate OF soda, 600
pounds OF cotton seed meal, $50 pounds
OF acid phosphate and $50 pounds Of
suIphate OF potash. Tnis mixture would
contain about 81 per cent of nitrogen,
7.4 per cent of available phosphoric
acid and % per cent of potash.
Still another fertilizer might be COM
pounded of 500 pounds of dried fish
scrap, 200 pounds of sulphate of am
monia. 900 pounds OF acid phosphate and
400 pounds of high-grade sulphate Of
potash. This mixture would contain
about 4 per cent of nitrogen, CO per
cent Of available phosphoric acid and
10 per cent Of potash. IT could be used
advantageousIy on the coastal plain
country and on the sandy soils of that
region which are more deficient in pot
ash than the upland clays lying in
land
Another mixture might be prepared as
follows: 500 pounds of dried blood, l.
900 pounds of acid phosphate and 400
pounds OF Nhigh-grade sulphate of pot
ash. This mixture would contain SO
per cent OF nitrogen, s per cent Of
available phosphoric acid and 10 per
cent Of potash. These fertilizers should
all be used at the rate OF 1000 to 1900
pounds per acre, and IL the land has
been properly prepared and is fairly
well supplied with organic matter, they
should give good results in al in
stances. If the ready-mixed fertilizer
containing the approximate amounts of
plant food indicated herein can not be
obtained on the market, no doubt most
manufacturers would be glad to pre-
pare the some on application.

A scheme to have a combined meeting
of all the bodies of men interested in
the development of the state has been
originated by (. P. Ansley, the real es-
tate developer. He proposes to have this
meeting as an enlargement of the ses-
sion of the Greater Georgia association,
which will be held in Atlanta next Thurs
day.
The landowners committee has already
decided to meet with the association, and
in addition to this, Mr.. Ansley would
have the men interested in the various
good roads movements, including the At
lanta- Macon-Jacksonville highway, the
corn show, and the state editors.
Mr. Ansley will ask President Vereen,
of the Greater Georgia association, to
invite all these gentlemen to meet. He
also proposes to have this meeting in
some theater, as this would give a great
er seating capacity than the chamber
of commerce, and would afford room on
the stage for the various visiting dele
cations 1t is believed that about 1000
delegates will attend.
Mr. Ansley called up Frank Weldon
Thursday and suggested the plan to him,
and it met with Mr.. Weldons instant APP
probation.
Mr.. Ansley has also undertaken a de-
velopment of the state on his own hook
The following letter to Governor Brown
indicates his purpose
LETTER TO GOVERNOR.
Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown, Governor of
Georgia, City.
My Dear Sir: I have decided to en-
large the scope of my development work,
and undertake to develop and show the
resources of Georgia as we'll as of At
lanta.
Our state has such a variety of soil,
and such unlimited resources that our
own citizens have not even the faintest
idea of the advantages the state enjoys,
and to the outside world it is an undis-
covered country of untold possibilities.
There are a number of agencies at
work, trying, each in itr own way, to
bring the advantages of Georgia to the
attention of the investor and homeseeSer,
but because of lack of organization and
cooperation, a great deal of money is
being spent that is not bringing the best
results.
My endeavor will be to bring all of
these agencies into one great cooperative
agency, so that the advantages of our
state may be laid before the investing
world, in the most effective and attractive
manner, and at the least possible cost.
On account of the great demand at this
time for specific and detailed information
In regard to Georgia, it's climate, pro-
ducts, advantages, ETC., 1 have decided

The condition of your cows udder is
due to an inflammation OF one of the
quarters, a condition that is very com
mon at or soon after calving time. The
affected quarter cannot be restored to a
normal condition. The gradual loss of
flesh from which your COW is suffering
may be due to tuberculosis, in which case
there is no treatment for her. The
proper procedure in such a case is to get
rid Of her TO the butcher If she is not in
such a condition that would render her
unfit for food; otherwise she should be
killed. for IL sht has tuberculosis she
may be a menace to the health of human
beings using milk or butter from her. or
to other farm animals with which she
comes In contact. A tubercolin test
made by a competent veterinarian will
show whether or not the COW has tuber-
culosis.
The thrush in your mares feet may be
cured by thoroughly cleansing them with
soap and water. cutting away all ragged
and dead particles from the frog and
treating the feet daily with a little
powdered Blue Vitrol. taking great care
to get the powdered Blue VitroI into all
