NEW YORK, April 1s.-The steam
ship, Titanic. reassurins wireless
messages from which were received
during yesterday after she had col
lided with an iceberg of the coast of
New Foundland, was announced last
night as having sunk before the Car
pathia, the nearest vessel. could reach
her. Eight hundred and eighty-slx
survivors were picked up by the Car
pathia and are now on the way to
New York, which they are expected
to reach Friday morning.
"A wireless received early today at
Boston relayed by the Steamship
Olympic from the Carpathia says:
Grave fears are felt for the safety
of the rest of the passengers and
crew."
All throughout the night the offices
OF the White Star Line Steamship
Company and newspapers were be-
siegcd by scores of persons anxious
to learn the fate of relatives or
friends on board the Titanic.
A food of kilograms and telephone
calls brought eager inquiries from
all parts Of the country. The officers
had little news to give out.
Wireless operators worked unceas-
ingly through the night to pick up
calls from the scene of the disaster
but were handicapped early today by
a thunderstorm which finally sllenced
wireless transmission for a time.
Gradually tho names of. the rescued
persons began to come through by
wireless by way of Cape Race from
the Carpathia, and were posted in
the company's offices. Some scanned
them and turned away with hopes
realized. But many who came we're
grief stricken aud disappointed.
Repeated calls came for Informs

commission REDUCES
STOCK FREIGHT RATES
Schedules on Live Stock,
Packing House Products and
> Salt Are Cut
(By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Radical re-
auctions of existing freight rates on live
stock, packing house products and salt
today were prescribed by the. inter-
state commerce commission to apply to
all western and southwestern railroads.
The commission holds that present
rates on live stock from points in New
Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma, to Fort
Worth, Tex, Oklahoma City, OKLA, and
Wichita, Kan, are unreasonable; that
existing rates on fresh meats and other
packing house products from Fort
Worth, Oklahoma City and Wichita to
points in other states also are unrea-
soneble, and that the rates on salt from
the Kansas field to Oklahoma City are
unjust.
The findings Of the commission. pre-
pared by Commissioner Prouty, are the
result Of an exhaustive investigation,
and AFFECT the rates to all points east.
Mileage rates on all the commodities
are prescribed by the commission, the
reductions amounting to an average Of
approximately per cent. No order is
issued at this time by the commission,
but the railroads are given until Febru-
airy 1, 1912, to put into effect the rates
suggested. If they shall not have done
so by that date, a mandatory order
will be issued to compel them to make
the prescribed rates effective. It is ex-
pected the carriers will acquiesce.

o65 in pens, los bantams, 40 display birds
and 112 pigeons. These birds will be ex-
hibited by 253 different individuals.
The offer Of the Buff Orpington Club
OF America OF q silver cup has consid-
erably stimulated the interest in the
showing that win be made in that class,
151 birds having been entered and as

u. S. WILL DECIDE
COTTON OWNERSHIP

United States supreme court will prob
ably be called upon for a final deter
mination of the ownership of the sew
eral thousand bales of cotton which the
trustees of the bankrupt cotton firm of
Knight, Yancey & Co. has for the past
year tried to get possession of through
court order.
1t was stated here today that an APP
peal will probably be taken from the
decision of the United States circuit
court of appeals which yesterday de-
cided that the cotton involved rightful-
ly belonged to the foreign spinners to
whom it had been shipped few days
previous to the failure of the firm Of
knight, Yancey & Go.
The question of the spurious bills Of
Iading is involved in this litigation.

In Illinois and some of the western
states where the land is unusually rich
in organic matter, raw rock has been
used at the rate of 1000 to 1900 pounds
per acre by a number of farmers with
fairly good results. 1t has probably
not given more satisfactory results to
many Of these men, however, than acid
phosphate would have done. 1t is true,
however. that by using the raw rock
larger per cent of phosphorus has
been added TO the soil at a relatively
lower cost than where the treated rock
is used. On soils where these good re-
suits have been secured the store OF
nitrogen varies from 1000 to 5000
pounds per acre foot, while in Georgia

THE VALUE OF RAW PHOSPHATE
ROCK
w. T. G., Quitman. Ca. writes: What
is your opinion as to the advisability
of using raw phosphate under cotton?
am told that in the middle states raw
phosphate has been used with as good
results as acid phosphate? Several
successful farmers near here say they
have secured as good if not better re-
suits after two years trial with the
raw phosphate than with the acid phos-
phate. 1 would like your opinion in
this matter.

the amount vial vary from 1000 to
1000 pounds. In other words, the per
cent OF nitrogen and vegetable matter
in the soils Of these two sections is
essentially different, and this should
be borne in mind by those anticipating
the substitution of floats for the acid
phosphate. Suppose a sample of floats
contains rs per cent of total phosphoric
acid The first year it is probable that
not more than per cent Of this will
become available Since the treated
ock contains 16 per cent of available
phosphorfc acid, you will see that one
would need to use 800 pounds a.
against 100 to secure the same amount
of available plant food. The ground
rock it is true contains considerable
lime, and it may be that this helps the
soil quite as much as the phosphorus
it contains for we. have found many
Georgia soils markedly deficient in
lime, and are inclined TO think they
will respond we'll to applications of this
material. We are carrying on series
of experiments to determine the rela-
tive efficiency of floats as compared
with phosphate rock, and must say
that the indications are that floats
will give a fairly good account of it,
self, but where the soils are markedly
deficient in phosphoric acid and much
of the essential plant food is needed in
"a quickly available form. the chances
are that the treated rock will prove the
most effective.
