the Event

Because of the annual picnic of the
First Methodist Sunday school next
Friday the city schools will suspend
for the day in order that all the young
folks so desiring may spend the day
at Daphne Park. AS announced
through The Times-Recorder already,
the special chartered train carrying
the thousand or fifteen hundred pic
nickers from Americus, will leave
promptly at $50 o'clock and go
through to the park in one hour, with
out a stop. The committee of six dis
tributing tickets will be at the Sea-
board depot at an early hour, and any
child or grown-up picnicker desiring
to go will be presented a ticket. It
will be a monster basket picnic, with
all the park privileges free to the lit
tie folks and their friends.

Republican Measure is Car.

Washington May 9.-Nine hours
of continuous bounding at the hands
cf the republican minority of the
House of Representatives failed to
make a single change in the frs

after the democrats had voted down

amendments, and is was demonstrated

arlendment after amendment into the

almost solid democratic vote.
An attempt by Mr. Mann to recon-

their friends then know they are in
the race, and save their subscriptions

to be Indifferent, and hand their sub

advantage that could not be overcome
by few hours diligent effort among
their friends, and show that they are
interested.
However, this infant is growing, and
will develop into the biggest thing Of
the kind ever attempted in Americus
or vicinity Candidates are showing
gratifying readiness in grasping the
salient features of the big race, and
are therefore aware that those VINO
have an early start, possess a great
advantage over those who enter later

SEABOARD bridge MATTER
TO Be AMICABLY SETTLED
Chief Engineer to Come For
That Purpose

From the assurance given by Chief
Engineer W. L. Seddou, of the Sea-
board Air Line, in a recent letter to
Alderman Lee G. Council, chairman f
the Street committee, it is thought that
the matter of the rebuilding of the
Lee and Barlow street bridges over
the Seaboard tracks within the city
viii be amicably and satisfactorily set
tied.
1t will be recalled that at meeting
of City Council some time ago the mat
ter of requesting the railroad c0mU|
ny to replace the bridges with new
and safer structures was considered
and decided upon. For some time no
official communication was received
from the Seaboard, but the letter that
has just arrived gives encouragement
and hope that the matter will be
speedily arranged and to the sat sfac-
ton Of both city and railroad officials
1T is a matter of qualification that
an adjustment of these cond tions Will
soon be effected Mr.. Seddon observed
in his letter that he had hoped to reach
Amerjcus to confer with the city Off
cials Monday, but that his arrival will
be delayed until the latter part Of tn
present week.

General Madero admitted today
I that he had given his consent to
the attack, but explained that va
rious circumstances had precipitated
it. He declared that reports which
had reached him were that the feder-
ais had opened fire and that the men
Ircvolting against his leaders had pur-
sued them of their own accord and
could not relinquish their own pos
tions. He listened to the counsel of
his chiefs who advised against at
tack, and though he made an effort
to arrange an armistice last night, It
failed because of the progress the at
tack had already made The leaders
have been acting under General Ma
dero's orders.
The prospects are that the battle
will continue throughout the day with
out any decisive turn, though the reb-
els have succeeded in surrounding the
town.

The population OF Idaho also has

Colorado. which had gained 80 per

in this decade. OF course, some may
question the statement or claim that
these changes can be attributed to

CONDITION OF SOIL
Must Contain Absolutely Neces-
sary ingredient, Moisture.
In Irrigated Districts Wheat, In All
Probability. VIII Require Less
Water. Per Pound of Dry
Matter, Than Oats.

by r. l.. PARSHATL. Colorado Agri-
cultural Collegc)
Soil conditions are the prime re-
.oulsltes to successful agriculture, and
the proper conditions are not all the
same for all kinds Of crops. A soil
particularly adapted to one kind of
crop may be wholly inadequate for
others. The soil in proper condition
for Whatever crop to be grown must
contain the absolutely necessary in
gredlent. moisture.
The moisture of the soil which is
available FOR plant growth is known
as free moisture. or that which is APP
parent This moisture or water dis
solves the salts of the soil and is
taken into the plant roots to be used
In the growth Of the plant. This mols-
ture is absorbed from the soil and by
the capillary action follows along the
minute tube that extends up the stem
OF the plant and out TO the leaves
where the moisture is evaporated.
This process is continuous and at the
same time the growth OF the plant is
increased. We see that there must be
some ratio between the amount Of
moisture absorbed by the plant and
the increased growth produced.
Many experim ents have been made
upon different kinds OF farm crops
and the amount OF water required to
produce pound OF dry matter varies
between wide limits. These tests in
dicate that 200 pounds Of water will
be necessary to produce pound OF
dry matter. while in other cases al
high AS 500 or 800 pounds viii be
necessary.
This great variation is due TO thu
climatic conditions. locality. kind o
crop. and kind OF soil In the hu
mid regions less water Is require,
than in the arid country. and thi
fact partly explains why a create
amount OF water must be held n
the soil in our irrigated districts 0
the west. Wheat. in all probability
will require less water. per pound o
dry matter. than oats. and alfalf
will require more than oats.

POULTRY NOTES.

Avoid exciting the geese; let them
alone.
Leg weakness in ducks is usually
caused by dampness.
There are several insect enemies OF
poultry-lice. mites and neas.
Lice may be found on the bodies oil
fowls at all seasons OF the year.
Geese grow better with age and are
Just about in their prime at twenty
months
Roup may be apparently cured. but
~ cannot be entirely eradicated from
the system.
At all seasons of the year II Is a
good plan to burn out all nests every
four or five weeks.
Liver troubles are caused by a lack
of sharp grit or by feeding too rich
or stimulating food
As soon as setting hen comes OF
the nest should be burned out and
fresh nest material supplied.
Cayenne pepper is most powerful
stimulant That II will induce egg
production there can be no doubt.
II is bad move to change the
quarters OF pullets or hens while lay
ing. 1t Is very apt to check egg pro-
duction.
While II is desirable to set eggs
while they are as fresh as possible
Il is not always possible to do so
particularly when an incubator is be
ing used.
If the duck is compelled to SLEEP
in n damp house she is likely to be
attacked with rheumatism or cramps
for which there is no sure remedy
Overlooking will also do II.
The turkey hen is an ideal setter
but n bad mother unless confined. as
she drags her young after her and
does not wait for those who fall out
bv the way so long as one is left.
A thorough drenching of the poul
try house with kerosene emulsion to
which n little crude carbolic acid had
been added will prove very effectua
against the red mites If done every
week
When setting hens 1t is never ad
yisable to apply any grease to theil
bodies. but they may be busted Will
some good insect powder. while the
nests may be busted with powdered
lime or sulphur.

~ HE American people honor

ON will ever be for this nation
SklNT the Great War.
The story of this war
will never grow old while
the republic endures Since the last
shot was fired a new generation has
arisen and another is rising. Yet the
boy of fourteen today is as keen 10
read and speak of the Great Civil War,
as was his father twenty-five or thirty
years ago.
1t was different from other wars. II
was not fought for land or room or
to reach the sea, nor for an interna-
tional position. Much less was it
fought for a dynasty or a personality,
OF against any OF these.
The American Civil war presents
the unique spectacle Of a conflict ar
raging a whole nation In arms for
ideas-for principles so firmly held
that both sides were ready to die for
them. II was the trial of the issue
between conflicting ideas of society
and government before the tribunal of
the God of Battles.
II was waged on both sides with a
zeal born of absolute conviction in
the righteousness of the cause. 1t was
waged until the victors had well-nigh
exterminated their opponents. as the
scars OF the south after nearly half
a century still bear witness. And II
was the final Civil war for the Ameri
can people. They may disagree. and
disorderly factions may rise In arms
But never again can they be so divid
ed as they were then. In a furnace
heat that tested human will to the
limit OF endurance has been welded
their national unity.

glory and whose sorrow II recalls I:
