dividual policeman who will pay a fat
rate without regard to age will be ap-
proximately SIS per $1,000. The mortality
figures for the 5000 patrolmen, 500 traffic
men, 400 sergeants and $50 liuetenants,

has been an average Of p deaths annual

GEORGIA CLUBS MERCER
PROPOSED FOR WILSON
Fifth District Wilson Club Asks
Underwood Club to Join
in Mass Meeting

Democrats of Georgia, regardless of
their alignment in the recent presi-
Dental primary, will work shoulder to
shoulder in the interest of Wilson and
Marshall. the party's nominees.
Not only will they see to it that
Georgia gives heretofore unheard-of
majority to the nominees, but funds
will be raised among the loyal Demo-
Gratis throughout the state to be used
in pushing the campaign in doubtful
states.
At a meeting Monday afternoon of
the advisory board of the Fifth Con-
gressional District Woodrow Wilson
club, held in the offices of Col. Ed T..
Brown, Brown Randolph building, it was
decided to disband the old ante-primary
Wilson organizations and form a new
organization, to be composed of all 10y
al Democrats in the state. To this end
the board requested Chairman ]. r.
Smith to confer with James L. Ander-
son, president of the Fulton County
Underwood club, and arrange for a big
mass meeting at which the new organ
ization will be launched.
"Georgia's failure to go for Mr.. Will
4
considerably Offset by the unanimity
with which the Democrats of this state
will work for his election" declared
Chairman Smith.
"Withouth regard to former prefer
ences, the Democrats of this state are
now enthusiastically supporting the
nominees, and / am sure every one of
them will welcome an opportunity to
contribute to the success of the party
in November" declared Secretary s. A.
Martin.
Hooper Alexander said that very lit
tie money would be required to push
the campaign in Georgia, but suggested
that it would be eminently proper for
the Democrats of this state to raise a
fund to be turned over to the national
committee for waging aggressive cam
paigns in states which are doubtful
Col Ed T. Brown thought Georgia
should raise at least $4,000 or $4,000
for the campaign "The expenses of
this campaign are to be borne by the
patriotic and progressive people of the
nation" he said, land not by the special
interests. In the primary campaign the
Wilson headquarters committee sent
81, 900 to be used in the Georgia
work. 1 feel that we should return this
sum multiplied many times over"
Judge George Hillyer expressed the
opinion that Georgia was afforded a
good opportunity TO help in carrying the
country for the Democratic nominees.
Woodrow Wilson is a son Of the En-
pire state and his charming wife was
born and reared here; therefore, for
patty, patriotic and sentimental reasons
Georgians should play an important
part In national campaign, and am
confident it will do so,' said he
p. c. McDuffie spoke enthusiastical
ly concerning the outlook and agreed
that every Democrat in Georgia, regard
less of his primary preferences, would
welcome an opportunity to affiliate with
an organization which would work ag-
gressively in the interest of the party
nominees.

(special pispateh = The Journal.l

Especial Dispatch t. The Journal>
SAVANNAH, Ga, July 10.-The city
of Savannah is to acquire the Ogeechee
canal as a gift from the Central rail-
way, which now controls it. The rail-
road will keep that part of the canal
adjacent to it's wharves, but the city
will own the rest Of the stream for its
entire length.
1t is proposed by the city to put the
canal in condition for furnishing the
municipality with reserve water supply
from the Ogeechee river if 1t is ever
needed.
There will have to be bill passed by
the legislature before the city can ac-
auire the canal entirely. The Ogeechee
canal was at one time a great business
feeder for Savannah, RATS being fioated
down it for many miles. Recently Con-
gresham Edwards has been agitating a
movement to compel the Central rail-
way to make it navigable. The present
move puts an end to such agitation.

NEED OF LIME AND VEGETABLE
MATTER

MATTER.
w. ]. S., Elberton, Ga, writes:
have four acres of land which is so
destitute Of vegetable matter that when
we have such hard rains as we have
had this spring, 1T bakes on top before
il is dry enough underneath to pillow,
and when the land has become dry
enough to pillow, the top is so hard that
it clods. DO you think it advisable to
SOW in clover when I pillow the land
the last time which will be late, and
turn all under next spring before plant
ing in corn again? I desire to make two
crops on the land each year, one to fer
tilize 1T, and one to harvest. Please
give me your advice in regard to this
matter.
The type of land about which you
make inquiry is one of the most diff
cult to handle successfully. 1t is as a
rule, however, a strong, and one which
when brought under control can be
cultivated with great profit and salts
faction. This land should be lined and
you should use at least two tons of
caustic lime per acre. The lime is
preferably applied in the fall. 1t should
be put on after the ground has been
broken with some implement which will
stir il to a depth of twelve or fifteen
inches. There is nothing better for this
purpose than one of the Spalding plows
pulled by four to six 1920 to 1900
pound mules. You may be so situated
or have so small a piece of ground that
you cannot handle 1t in this way, but
we are suggesting the most feasible plan
of bringing IT under control at the
| earliest possible date. This soil will be
benefited by blowing under green crops
and several of them must of necessity
be plowed under to affect ii appreciably
You may SOW crimson. clover in the
corn at the last cultivation. If the

| first Of September so much the better
! Crimson clover should be seeded at the
rate of 20 pounds per acre; scatter II
/ ahead of the cultivator and the stir
ring of the ground will cover it suf-
| fciently. To just scatter 1T broadcast
and leave 1t would be to court failure
/ in nine cases out of ten. If the corn is
very large you may still run through

| zle the mule and the crop will be bene
fitted rather than injured by this late

draining and the persistent turning un.
der of green crops are the most certain
methods of enabling you to build VI
the soil in question.

ANALYSIS OF ALFALFA.
w. H c., Gainesville, Ca, writes:
What is the analysis of alfalfa as a
foodstuff as compared with other hays
and it's relative value is the best bal
anced ration for milk cows?
Alfalfa hay contains approximately
III per cent of digestibIe protein, 1871
per cent of digestible carbohydrates,
and per cent of digestible fat. Cow
pea hay contains 5.s per cent of digesti-
BILE protein, 1913 per cent of digestible
carbohydrates, and 1.3 per cent of d.
gestible fat. Soy bean hay contains
1915 per cent of digestib1e protein, 4O.9
per cent OF digestible carbohydrates and
IL per cent of fat Timothy hay con-
tains about 20 per cent of digestible
protein, 43.3 per cent of digestible car
bohydrates and IA per cent of digesti-
BILE fat You will thus see that alfalfa
is one Of the richest crops available for
rough feed in so far as digestible nutri-
ents are concerned. 1t is even richer in
protein than cowpea or soy bean hay
and, of courle, is vastly superior to
timothy in this respect. Personally,
we would prefer to feed alfalfa in
the form of hay rather than as a
grain feed 1t is best mixed with
other materials such as cotton seed
meal. wheat BRAN middlings or ground
oats AS a milk producer there are
few forms of roughnes superior to
alfalfa because of the large amount
Of ,rofefn ~ contafns Milk contains
good deal of heterogeneous matter,
and therefore the hay supplies the
COW with the materiaf out of which
to manufacture milk and butter to Il
best advantage.
A great variety OF ratIons may be
fed to dairy cows, but If one desires
10 feed alfalfa hay, 10 to IL pounds
per day with a mixture of bran, cot
ton seed meal and corn meal in equal
parts would be very fine. From eight to
ten pounds of hay is ordinarily SUI
fcient amount to feed to dairy cows
weighing 500 pounds. Thus, If you
were to feed five to six pounds of
alfalfa hay with four to five pounds
of grain morning and night, you
would be supplying the needs of a
COW giving as much as two gallons OF
milk per day. Cowpea hay may be
used in the place of alfalfa hay with
very satisfactory results. Corn stover,
cotton seed bulls and other forms of
roughnes may also be used TO advan-
tage. When these are fed more grain
should be used and a larger proper
tion of cotton seed meal supplied III
the ration as this is the element fur
nishlng the protein and supplying the
deficiency existing in such fer of
roughness as corn slower and cotton
seed hulls.
