COLUMBIA. S. c., April 13.-If the
sentiment of the state Democratic COM
mittee which met here last night is an
indication, woodrow Wilson will get tue
South Carolina delegation. There were
40 members present representing 40 of
the "A counties. In a poll conducted
by the representative of The Journal
% out of this number expressed them
selves for Wilson for first choice.
Only two were for Underwood, three
for Harmon and eight for Clark. They
expressed themselves as favoring the
man most likely to win while one de-
clined to give an expression.
Gen. Willie Jones, of Richland coun-
ty, who has been state chairman for
IA years, is for Wilson. Talks with
members OF the committee whose rep
resentative character can be seen at a
glance, further confirmed the fact OF
Wilson's strength throughout the state.
Notwithstanding the support of Har-
mon by Gov. Cole Blease, the Harmon
sentiment in the state, judging by the
poll of the committee, is dead.
The anti-Wilson sentiment appears
therefrom to be divided. the most Of II

Gain National Recognition "
They Declare
Especial Dispatch to The Journal)


JACKSON, Ca, April 13.-That the
ladies of Jackson are warm in their sup
port of Woodrow Wilson for president,
and are anxious for Georgia to furnish
the next mistress Of the White House,
is manifested by the expressions of a
large number of the most prominent
women in the city.
In a very snort time interviews were
secured from many of the influential
leaders in club and social life. As a
unit they expressed their enthusiastic
preference for the great statesman, who
is looked upon as Democracy's hope to
leap the party to a glorious victory.
at am for Woodrow Wilson for presi-
dent" said Mrs. F. S. Etheridge, wife of
F. S. Etheridge, the prominent banker
and capitalist and one of the leading
women of the city. aside from the
fact of his fitness for the high office, he
is the husband of a Georgia girl and
that appeals to my sense of pride. Ail
Georgia, 1 think. should rally to his
support and help in placing Georgia
girl in the White House%
ITO elect woodrow Wilson is Geor-
gia's opportunity to gain national recog-
milton both politically and socially"
said Mrs. A. T. Buttrill, leader in the
social life of Jackson.
Miss Mary Newton: II think Mr..
Wilson has every qualification for presi-
dent, and Mrs. Wilson would make an
ideal presidents wife"
Mrs. r. n. Etheridge, president of the
Larkin D. Watson chapter, Z. d. c.:
Nothing could please me more than
to see Mrs. Woodrow Wilson mistress Of
the White House. and we women are go
ing to unite our efforts in her behalf"
Mrs. r. P. Newton: 81 am thoroughly
in favor of Woodrow Wilson for presi-
dent, and am for Mrs. Wilson because
she Is a southerner and a Georgian
81 think that it is fitting that Geor-
gia should claim the next first lady of
the land in the person of Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, says Mrs. r. J. iCar-
michael.
IF women could vote" said Miss Hat
tie Buttrill. Woodrow Wilson would
be our next president"
Miss Rosa Newton: I'VE women of
Georgia feel proud of Mrs. Wilson and
her charming daughters, and shall use
our influence to send them to the White
House"
Il sincerely hope that our Georgia
girl, the wife of Woodrow Wilson. will
be the next lady of the White House,
was the expression from Mrs. T. NJ.
Furlow.
Mrs. L. P. Lester: 1T will do me
good to. see the husband of a, Georgia
girl be honored with the presidency"
"I feel that I would not be true

future of Mrs. woodrow Wilson" said
Mrs. E. L. Smith.

Champion
Deering

As the cradle succeeded the reaping hook, the
reaper the cradle, and the self binder the reaper,
more and more men were freed from the drudgery
of the harvest field to take their rightful places
in other gainful occupations. Now that binders
are in universal use, one-third of the people
the whole country and have millions of bushels
left for export.
Progress and plenty for all depends upon the
right choice of harvesting machines by the farmers
of this country. Your share of the harvest profit
means much to you, but it means more to others.
To be sure that your crops are harvested without
waste and at the right time, buy machines suited
to the conditions in your fields, tested by actual
work in similar fields, machines which have
behind them history of more than fifty years
of success, and which have been developed to
practical perfection-I H machines.

about forty gallons of oil to the ton
of seed, and it would take about two
tons of seed to make a ton of meal.
With the exceptions noted, the Kernels
will make a fair source of nitrogen
to mix with phosphates and potash for
fertilizing farm crops. In making up
fertillzing mixtures use the kernels in
the same amounts as you would the
meal; that is, you might prepare a
fairly good formula for corn and cot
ton by mixing together 1000 pounds
of high-grade acid phosphate, 500
pounds of the kernels, and 100 pounds
of muriate Of potash. This formula

cotton and 700 pounds for corn on

as a side application. 1t may even be
advisable to use a little additional nj
trogen alongside the drill row during
the growing season, depending on the
vigor of the crop. If you do use side
applications of nitrogen. you will find
nitrate of soda the best thing to use
at the rate of IS to 100 pounds per

Nitragen is a special culture of nj

sociate themselves. with the roots OF
leguminous crops and give them the
ability to extract nitrogen from the
air You have probably noticed that
cowpeas and other leguminous crops
present a sickly yellow appearance. II
you examine the roots you will notice
that there are no knots on them, which
means that the soil is devoid of the
particular bacteria responsible for the
production of the nodules, and also for
the ability of the plant to absorb at
mospheric nitrogen. BY :noculatlng
such soils with these special cultures
by springling them over the seed or
narrowing it into the soil, the special
organism may be introduced into the
soil and the ability of the crop to gath

where an extra heavy growth of le-
gumes turned under may add to the
soil from 100 to $50 pounds of nitrogen
in a single season Most crops like
cowpeas, soy beans..r velvet beans and
garden peas and beans do not need to
be inoculated. This is probably due
to the large, number of bacilh adher-
ing to the covering of these large
seeds. Crops like alfalfa, and some or
the clovers and other smaller seeded
Iegumes are often benefited by inocu-
lation. Cotton and corn not being le-

Progress and Plenty

FARMERS, tradesmen, manufacturers, labor
ers-all are producers for the common
good Without the farmers the rest of us
would starve. Without tradesmen to distribute
it, grain would spoil in barn and bin. With
out the machines made by manufacturers and
laborers, the great modern crops of grain and hay
would never be planted, or, if planted, would rot
in the fields for the lack of adequate means of
harvesting. On the other hand, by working to-
gether, we produce the bulk of the worlds grain.
The day of farming without machines is gone
forever. The manure spreader, gang pillow, disk,
and harrow prepare the way for harvesting and
haying machines. A thousand acres are cult
waited today with greater ease and dispatch than
a hundred were forty years ago. Credit for this
greater efficiency and for the fact that thousand
acre tracts are planted to grain and harvested
safely, belongs to the farmers who use harvest
ing and haying machines and tools made and
sold under the following names:

The man who desires to build up
his land with economy and success
should acduaint himself with the store
of plant food which nature has placed
at his disposal, and the deficiencies
which are likely to exist in his soil.
With this knowledge before him he is
in position to organize systematic
rotation of crops and to apply TO the
land those elements in which it is
most markedly deficient Thus he IN
dertakes the organization of his farm
practice on a fundamentally correct,
scientific and economic basis, and
though it may take him number OF
wears to bring his soil under ideal cont
ditions and raise its production to
maximum degree, he will eventually
succeed, and he is neither wasting time
effort or money in the use of CONNER
cial fertilizers not well adapted to MS
land. Most Georgia soils are more or
less deficient in vegetable matter, and
Won will make no mistake in using
this element literally. In addition 10
this YOU should use generous applica-
ton of acid phosphate since yard ma
nure is low in this element. In many
sections it is beneficial to use also
potash and nitrogen. Raw flnely
ground Tennessee phosphate rock may
he used at the rate of 100 to 200
pounds perton Of yard manure to good
ADVANTAGE. You may apply 1T under
fine feet of the animals as they stand
in the stagle and thus mix 1t with the
manure. Raw phosphate rock gives
it's best results only in the presence OF
large quantities of organic matter, and
it's use in connection with yard ma
nure has proven more effective than IN
anv other way. Raw phosphate rock
cannot be used on most Georgia soils
to the best advantage because they are
low in vegetable matter You are
right in concluding that our soils need
lime. Much of our land is acid, ano
much of it extremely so, requiring IS
much as 5000 pounds per acre to bring
If into q neutral condition. No won
der the crops are small under such
conditions. Use at least one ton OF
caustic life per acre and two or more
tons of the finely ground limestone
rock. Where you use the rock it is
important that it be very timely
ground. Naturally, we must educate
more Of our farmers and undertake
through a systematic effort on the
part of the state, the analysts of their
soils and find out their deficiencies II

A good formula to use under cotton
on land such as you own and operate
would be about 1874; for corn, a 10-4-5
would be better; for sweet potatoes, a
9-4-S would be about right Use the
formula suggested for cotton at the rate
of not less than 500 to 600 pounds per
acre, putting at least half of it under
the drill row at the time of planting,
and the balance as a side application. on
corn use 500 to 700 pounds, putting 400
pounds under the drill row and 800
pounds as a side application. Where
you attempt to supply per cent of
nitrogen, you may find it advisable to
put part OF this element on in the form
of a top dressing of nitrate of soda. The
nitrate should be applied some days be-
fore the corn is punching to silk and
tassel. Under the sweet potatoes use
from 500 to 1000 pounds per acre if
you desire to raise an especially large
yield. This crop requires rather liberal
fertilization with nitrogen, especially
on sandy land such as you have and
which is not well supplied with vege-
table matter This crop also requires
liberal amount of potash to insure
its best development.

No matter what the condition of your grain
at harvest Understanding, down, or tangled,
the least loss or waste, and bind it into bundles
of uniform size convenient for handling. The
machines are so simple that they may be trusted
safely to unskilled help. The quality of the steel
and iron in them is proved. They will stand
up under the toughest regular usage of the har-
vest field.
When the harvesting is once begun you cannot
afford delays. Should accident happen to an
l H c binder and a'repair be needed, you are no
place of business. When you get that part, it
will fit without filing scraping or pounding
so accurate and so true to gauge is each part
made This feature does away entirely with ex-
vest sure-completely finished in good season.
That alone is good enough reason for buying an

Six hundred pounds of a 1884 would
be excellent TO use on the land de-
scribed in your letter, but whether
il will produce a bale of cotton per
acre or not remains to be seen. No
one can determine before hand what
yield may be secured from a given
area of land. since seasonal conditions,
the method of cultivation and the seed
used are all determining factors in
the proposition. You could not mix a
1884 formula and use cotton seed
meal as the onyl source of nitrogen.
If you mix together however, 1920
pounds of high-grade acid phosphate,
$50 pounds Of nitrate of soda, 500
pounds of cotton seed meal and $50

crop and requires a very considerable
amount of plant fool to insure a good
yield. We would advise you to use from
1 900 to 200 pounds IF a formula run

and to 10 per cent Of potash. Sulphate
of potash should be used under tobac-

The formula to which you refer would

and 100 pounds of potash per ton. Its
percentage composition would be 6.S per
cent of phosphorus. "a per cent of nitro

formula would he too low i'm potash and

judgment. You could improve it mate

acid, say 200 pounds, and adding 100
pounds of sulphate of potash and 100

A Conservative

From Life.
 In Pennsylvania, not many years ago, dwelt the descendants of an ancient Ger man settler. The farm has descended for generations from father to son, and the original customs had been faithfully ad- hered to. But youth was born to the family who had inspired some of the modern racial ideas and was likely to come into conflict with his fathers stolid conservatism.
 One day Johannes was told to saddle the horse and take the grist to the mill It had been the practice from time i'm memorial to place the grist in one end of the bag and large stone in the other end to balance it, and so throw 1t across the horses back. But Johannes on the present occasion managed to get the grist divided between the two ends of tho bag, so that there was no need of the stone.
 "Oh, daddy, come and see. There ain't no use for the stone.''
 The old gentleman calmly surveyed the
