JOE HALL MAY NOT ATTEND
PICTURESQUE LEGISLATOR is
SUFFERING SEVERELY.
Much of Macon's Capital Fight De-
ponds on Him. Central City Has
Handed Atlanta Some Raps.


Handed Atlanta Some Raps.
ATLANTA.-Much of the usual in
rerest that attaches to the legislature,
and much of the interest that prom
Uses to attach to this particular one,
which will meet on June %, may be
lacking this year,
Reports from Macon have been
to the effect that Joe Hill Hall has
been seriously i'll, but is recovering.
His illness is much regretted by
members of the legislature, not only
of course in the natural regret be-
cause of his illness, but because Joe
Hall is one of the real characters of
the legislature. Mr.. Hall has been
known for years as the watchdog of
the treasury, and when any members
of the legislature got too close to the
till with some pet measure that called
for the expenditure of a large sum
he was right on the job, and ready
to defend the treasury to the last
ditch. With Mr.. Hall out, if he is,
it is feared the authors of appropria-
ton bills might have easy sailing,
and the state may contribute more
than otherwise would be the case.
The other interesting feature, that
Mr.. Hall promised to inject into the
legislative doings, was a bill to move
the capitol from Atlanta to Macon.
Little has been heard of this move
ment recently, but with Mr.. Hall in
form, and backed by his friends, this
bill certainly would have started"
something this summer.
Of course it may be introduced
anyway but it will be lacking in
picturesqueness if Mr.. Hall is not on
the floor to tell what beautiful place
Macon is and what charms it has to
offer.
Macon may not grab the capitol
this year or the next year or in the
years to come, but she certainly has
been busy in gathering in conven-
tons, big, little and Indifferent, and
incidentally in so doing she handed
Atlanta a rap the other day.
Not content with landing the next
gathering of the men who wore the
gray Macon instructed her delegates
to the convention of the Georgia fu-
neral directors to land that meet
ing.
While the order does not seem to
have been large one the difficulties
were really greater than they seem
ed, for at previous meeting it had
been agreed to make Atlanta the
permanent convention town, where
the members would come each year,
bring their wives and daughters, en-
joy social outings, and in the finish
transact little business and then HE
hOmeward.

to a vote Macon had the convention
for next year sewed up in a bag. In
addition she managed to secure the
representative to the national con-
vention, which meets soon in Atlantic
City.

0UR AGRICULTURAL NEEDS
ORES. sOULE OF STATE COLLEGE
GIVES FACTS AND FIGURES.
Not Enough Attention Given to In
yestigating Soils and Applying
the Right Fertilizer.

From President Andrew NJ. Soule
Of the State College of Agriculture
have come some interesting figures
with regard to the crop yields in
Georgia and other statistics and
facts of interest to the farmers.
These are contained in a communi-
cation setting forth some phases of
the college work and extending a
Dlea for a greater support of this in
stitution. President Soule in show
ing the need that there is in Georgia
for an enlarged agricultural college
and the benefits that the state accrues
from that institution says of the corn
crops;
Georgia cultivates about 10000
600 acres of land in corn, cotton and
miscellaneous crops. If corn were
nIanted at the rate of 1000 stalks
Der acre, 1917 bushels, the average
Weld in the state for the ten-year
period ending in 1907, would be Sc
cured from a 12-ounce ear on every
fifth stalk. If an average of 1852
ounces be secured per stalk the yield
would become 80 bushels per acre,
and at 70 cents a busheI would add
$5O,OO0,O00 to our farm revenues.
One strain selected at the college al
ready averages 1852 ounces. This
one demonstration makes it possible
for the college to pay back to the
state many times what it has cost.
Georgia increased her corn yield by
1.3 bushels last year, the first ad-
vance made in some time. This rep
resents a gain of about 100000
bushels"
Preparing for Boil WeeviI.
Relative to preparing for the boil
weeyil President SouIe says: ''The
expenditure of much treasure and
years of effort on the part of SCENT
lists show that deep blowing, intelli-
gent fertilization, crop rotation, the
development of early varieties of cot
ton resistant to diseases like anthrax
nose, crop Investigation and the es-
Enlistment of animal industries are
the only effective weapons. After all
the weeyil damage is to be mitigated
by the education of all the farmers.
This can be most rapidly, cheaply
and effectively consummated through
the college and it's extension demon
stration bureau"
In treating of soil investigations
he says: "a cursory examination of
some of our soil types indicates that
certain of them contain $500 pounds
of nitrogen per acre foot, and others
1000 pounds; some contain $4,000
pounds of potash per acre foot, and
others 400 pounds. The content of
phosphoric acid varies from 400 to
5,400 pounds. Most of our soils are
deficient in lime, yet virtually no lime
is applied to them to correct acidity
and make possible the cultivation of
legumeS.

OFFICIAL BALLOT TO
BE 81 INCHES LONG
Names of "a Candidates for Mayor
and Commissioners to Be
Printed.

When City Clerk Martin Rudgren
closed up his Office last evening at
6 o'clock it. marked the end of the
time allowed for the filing of petit
tions by candidates for nomination
for the Office of mayor and commits
sioners under the commission form of
government. The list therefore was
complete. 1t contained the names
of 10 men who are seeking to become
the mayor of Rock Island and of "A
men who are out for commissioner
ships. The candidates represent all
classes and conditions of men, there
being one who makes his mark in
lieu of his signature. The large
number of names on the list means
that a rather long ballot will be
necessary in order to conform to the
requirements of the law. In to-
nights issue of The Argus there is
printed a full-sized and complete
sample of the primary ballot. The
names of the mayOralty candidates
come first and then the commission
ers with proper headings to distin-
guish the two lists. Each name is
set in bold type and in front is
square one-fourth inch each way for
putting the cross. There are three
names to the inch, which means that
the ballot complete is 81 inches IN
length and about inches wide.

The Voice of the People

Rock Island, H., Feb. 14.-Editor
The Argus.-Relative to the many can
didates for mayor and commissioners
1 beg to offer a few comments:
The mayor of a modern city should
be more than a mere politician. He
should be a student of sociology and
all of the other ologies.
He should be in touch with the
times and in particular, should be
abreast of the age in sanitary science
and in all questions pertaining to the
health and happiness of the people,
and in matters appertaining to the
Identification of the municipality.
The commissioners should be men
with high ideals and desire to serve
the city, rather than themselves. l am
sir: Yours Truly
