DEAD CAPTAIN TO BLAME
FOR LOSS OF TITAN1E
Senate Committee viii SO Conclude
In Its Finding.

Washington, May 25.-The senat'
committee on commerce has consider
ed the report on the Titanic disaste'
which will be submitted to the senate
next Tuesday 1t will be a sweepine
arrangement of the conditions unde'
which the Titanic swept along thu
iceburg area to her doom.
1t is understood the report will Sc
verely criticise Captain Smith, of the
Titanic as mainly responsible for the
disaster because of failure to heed
the warnings of other vessels; the
British Board of Trade, for lax in
spection; ]. Bruce Ismay, who was q
passenger, and will point to the lack
of discipline in the time of danger.
Captain Lord, of the Californian
will figure in responsibility because
of failure to take necessary stepe
when near the Titanic, whose rocket
signals of distress were seen aboard
the Californian. Congress will be
asked to reward Captain Rostron o.
the rescue ship Carpathia.
A general bill is being drafted with
other measures framed in the senate
and the house, Will be considered by
the commerce committee. and re-
duced to concrete legislation to meet
the lessons drawn from the disaster.

Georgia Farmers Get Advice
From Agricultural College

Athens. Ca, May 25.-The lateness
of the season is likely to prove a great
Encouragement to many of our farm
els, but we think, says recent bulle-
tin issued by the state College OF
Agriculture they should not overlook
the fact that no section Of the United
States is blessed with longer periO,
for the growth and maturity of farm
crops than Georgia. 1t is possible to
plant cotton in many sections of this
state as late as the first of June, and
N a favorable fall secure a satisfac-
tory yield. 1t is easily possible to
plant early maturing varieties of corn
rs late as July list Cowpeas and some
other legumes may be sown until the
first of August. Millet can be sown
| for hay in the late summer. Buck
wheat may be seeded in August for
| soil enrichment
Of course, in planting crops as late
as has been suggested, it is important
to use early maturing varieties. The
extra early black SOY bean, TIE New
Era, Warren's extra early, the Whip
| porwll cOwpeas and German mile,
| are good varieties to select. If no
| strains of corn which will mature in
| Linety to one hundred and twenty days
are available in your community, Sc
cure seed from the north. This IS
seldom practicable, but it is often
judicious practice in very late sea-
son.
Remember that it will pay you to
prepare the ground with the utmost
care. 1t is better often to leave the
crop implanted than to put it in be-
| fore the ground is in proper condition
to receive it. Do not work the land
when it is wet. We are Likely to
| have dry spells, after so much rain:
therefore, thorough preparation ana
careful fertilization is greatly to be
desired. If your corn or cotton is al
ready planted so much the better.
Give it light shallow cultivation and
work it every week if possible. Even
though you may have fortified well,
we believe this is a season when side
applications are in order and would
suggest that you apply very soon from
two or three hundred pounds of
formula rather high in nitrogen, phos-
phOric avid and potash.
For heavy clay lands We think an
1913 about right for cotton; for clay
load, a 93-4 for sandy soils, a 1854
or if the cotton rusts, about 10-3-5-5.
For corn on clay lands use 9-3-4 on
loamy Soils a 10 "A. On very sandy
soils apply 10 to u per cent of phos
rhoric acid. to 5 per cent of nitrogen
and > to per cent of potash. The
nitrogen in a side application should
be derived from two sources, a part
of it quickly available as in nitrate Of
soda, or sulphate of ammonia, and
part mores lowly available as in bloid,
tankage, or cotton seed meal Where
the land has been prepared with /
proper care, scatter the application
ahead of the cultivator and work into
the soil to a depth of two to four
inches. The high fertilization with
nitrogen suggested will tend to stimu-
late a quick growth which now verv
desirable. The phosphoric acid and
potash will supply the other elements.
The first side application should be
made on corn and cotton relatively
early in the season, and if a second
is used, put it an about the 18th of
June to the LIST of July for cotton and

EXPANSION OF CHURCH wOkA.

To hose who have got in the habit
of bewailing the decadence of the
churches, and the failure of religious
efforts, and all that sort of lamenta-
tons, a course of reading in the re-
ports of the five great church bodies
that have recently held conventions
can be recommended as sure specific
for the spiritual blues from which
they APPARENTLY suffer.
The Southern Baptists recently held
their great convention at Oklahoma
City Almost at the same time the
Northern Presbyterian and Southern
Presbyterian churches have held their
annual gatherings, and the great Meth
odist Episcopal Church of the North
has been in session at Minneapolis,
the smaller Methodist Protestant
church having its convention sinful
raneously at Baltimore.
Now the five churches are thorough
y representative in their character
and cover the entire land in the scope
of their operations. The reports were
generally of a very encouraging ma
tuTe, showing greater sums raised for
, home and foreign missions, for educa-
tioHal work, for purely philanthropic
efforts. than ever before in their his
tory. The spirit of enthusiastic inter
est of genuine devotion to the church
es and their cause, was clearly indi-
Gated as exceeding anything in the
past Nowhere did they seem to be
any cause for repining, for the puttins
: on OF sack cloth and ashes aud bewail-
ing the downfall of Zion.
The truth of the matter probably is
the churches are to-day stronger, bet
ter equipped than ever before and do
ing the most magnificent work since
Christianity became a powerful factor
n the worlds uplift. All over the
and they are building new structures
for worship, building new homes for
the aged, new hospitals for the sick
new schools for the young. new char
tiles for the infrm. Into every part
of tie land, and vt" every country of
the world they are sending mission
aries, Jealous, devoted, unbeatable
men and women, cOnsecrated to tnel
work., and everywhere the money is
pouring in to meet the increasing ne
cessities thus created. Now all these
things could not be true Of a decadent
church, or a decadent faith. There

when our great warships returned
from the trip around the world many
of them were dry locked. They ran
in and there, clinging to their sides
were tons and tons Of dead weight,
retarding their speed, using more fuel
and requiring more energy from their
great engines. Many a business has
failed because of the same dead
weight.
'If it be true that Missouri has gone
back, that she has failed to keep pace
with her sister states, perhaps the old
ship of state has been retarded by
dead weight and needs to go back to
the old ways, those ways from which
she emerged forty years ago, and, for
thirty years, weathered every storm,
met every conflict, and was fighting
her way to the front until we, the
voters of Missouri, manned her, ten
years ago, with mixed crew.
