OFFICIALS TO INSPECT
COTTON AND OYSTERS
State Warden Mercer and En-
tomoIogiSt WorSham Will
Make Visit
CBy Associated Press

SAVANNAH, Ga. Nov. 1S.-Jesse A.
Mercer. state game warden. and f. Lee
worsham, Georgia state entomologist,
reached Savannah this morning TO be-
pin a tour of the oyster canning dis
tricts Of Georgia and to make a study
o. cotton growing conditions on tie
sea islands adjacent to Savannah Mr..
Mercer is visiting the oyster bells Of
this section for the purpose of getting
data to lay before the convention Of
oyster growers and oyster Gamers, to
be held at Brunswick on Friday.
Later there is to be convention
wider \in scope, held at Savannah. 1t
Is proposed to frame laws for the 90
lection Of the Georgia oysters and p"9-
sent them to the state legislature.
Mr.. Worsham states that the near
approach of the boil weeyil to Geor-
gia means that in a few seasons sea
island cotton, a grade that has long
staple and is very valuable, cannot be
raised off the coast within a few
years and that the cotton must be
grown on the sea islands, where 1T
originated. HeIs trying to interest the
people living on these islands in cot
ton growing once more.
He says the boil weevil is now within
IS miles of the Georgia line and that
IL will strike this state next year.
The sea island crop is doomed, he
declares, unless something is done to
restore the fertile fields on the islands
themselves.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-Address-
ing the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy at the opening session Of their
annual convention here yesterday, Pres
ident Taft declared that the Woodrow
Wilson administration would be provi-
Dental in giving the south an oppor-
tunity to feel that Ownership" in the
United States government which + the
to succeed this, we must admit the
good that will come to the whole
country in a more conformed sense of
partnership in this government which
our brothers and sisters of the south
land will enjoy in an administration in
which southern opinion will naturally
have greater influence and the south
greater proportionate representation in
the. cabinet, in congress and in other
high official station.
while 1 rejoice in the steps that 1
have been able to take to heal the
wounds of sectionalism and to convey
to the southern people, as far as 1
could, my earnest desire to make this
country one, cannot deny that my
worthy and distinguished successor has
a greater opportunity. and 1 doubt not
he will use it for the benefit of the
nation at large.
"It fell to my official lot, with uni
versal popular approval, to issue the
order which made it possible to erect
in the national cemetery at Arlington
the beautiful monument to the heroic
dead of the south which you founded
today. The event in itself speaks vol
umes as to the oblivion of sectionalism.
1t gives me not only great pleasure
and great honor, but 1T gives me the
greatest satisfaction as a lover of my
country, to be present as president or

the occasion the benediction of all

MAN WITH THE MISSIONARY
SPIRIT WOULD QUICKLY
SOLVE "RURAL PROBLEM"

To the Of1cers and Members Of the
Farmers Union:
I have always been in favor Of
missionaries.
The kind that the farmer now needs
most is the man, just one man, with the
missionary spirit in each county, who
will study the problems of the farmer
and bring to their solution the same
zeal and fervor of the man or the
woman who travels to distant lands to
convert the heather.
The farmer is the greatest the most
priceless asset of America.
His problems are the problems of the
nation.
They cannot be settled by lecturers or
enthusiasts in convention halls, how
ever kind-intentioned or devoted these
gentlemen may be.
They must be solved by the man who
lives with the farmer the year round,
who sees him in gladness and sorrow,
who can show him how to avaid the pit
falls of the demagOgue. and also OF his
own weakness and, here and there, his
suspicion and his credulity.
DO you think there is ono man in
your county who will put up with your
cussedness, as we'll as your nobility
for you are a strange mixture of both;
do you think there is one man in your
county who will develop the courage
to tell you the truth, not once, but all
the time; who will stick to you, even
when you show signs Of abandoning
him?
This is the sort. of spirit needed to
aid the farmers of America, wherever
located.
The work may not pay much in dol
lars and cents. But the man who enlists
in the cause may have as his reward
the consciousness that he is serving
generations yet unborn.

should not be used in a formula for
sugar cane. A part of your nitrogen
should be from organic sources. 1t is
important also to use a considerable
quantity of some quickly available nitro
gen, such as might be obtained from
blood or nitrate of soda. Cotton seed
meal will furnish fine basis for the
nitrogen supplied in a formula such as
has been suggested While 1t is adj
visable to have vegetable matter in the
land devoted to sugar cane, it is rather
important that it be obtained through
blowing under cowpeas or other green
crops rather than from lot manure,
which is likely to affect the flavor of the
syrup.
SOWING WINTER OATS IN GEORGIA.
H B., GAINESVILLE, Ga, writes: l
would like information in regard to the
best time and method of sowing oats,
preparing land, fertilizing, ETC.
AS a rule, it is best to break the land
for oats unless it is unusually good
condition. Deep blowing is not neces-
sary for this crop, and the land should
be we'll disked or narrowed so as to
prepare a fine and fairly firm seed bed.
Oats sown in November should as a
rule, be planted IN the open furrow.
You may use a single stalk drill for
this purpose, or any other implement
which will plant the seeds at a sufficient
depth. The land should be we'll fertil-
lied. We would advise the use of 300
to 400 pounds of about an 1923 fertil-
izer on land such as is found in the
vicinity of GAINESVILLE. Nitrate of soda
should be used as a top dressing next
spring at the rate of so to 100 pounds
per acre We think 100 pounds the bet
ter application to make. Put the nitrate
of soda on as soon as growth starts.
Of course, there are a number of varie-
ties of oats which may be used to ad-
vantage but probably the Appler, Ban
croft, Culberson, or any other dertva-
tive of the Texas Rust Proof will be
found the most satisfactory strain to
plant. We would advise the sowing of
not less than two bushels of seed per
acre. Select the seed carefully and
treat it for smut before planting. This
Is very important matter

than the Berkshire, ana they possibly
have a slight advantage over the Berk-
shire as to prolificacy, and they produce
an unusually long deep side which has
given them their fine EAputation as ba-
con hogs. We have shipped a great
many Tamworths throughout the state
Of Georgia and they have proven good
investment to the farmers from what
we can gather. and we believe iu is safe
to recommend their use. From this 1t
should not be concluded that we do not
regard the Berkshire as a very excel
lent breed of hogs for they certainly
are. If one has good grade Berkshire
sows it would probably be better to pur-
chase a Berkshire boar to use with
Them We believe you will find more
satisfaction from grading up and getting
a uniform character of hog on your
farm than from having a lot Of mon
greis which will nearly always be the
case where you use a boar of one breed
on high-grades of another breed. AT the
same time, the Tamworth and Berk-
shire cross well, as we know from ex-
perience on the college farm, and from
information received from farmers out
in the state.
1t would be rather late 10 sow oats and
vetch the 18th of November. If you put
this crop in in the open rurrow and use
the Texas Rust Proof or Appler oats
and hairy vetch, the chances are you
will make fair yield. The hairy veuch
does not grow much until spring, and
you cannot expect the oats to produce
much in the way of grazing unless we
have an unusually warm winter These
crops should be seeded not later than
the first of October whenever possible.
OF course we have seeded oats and vetch
even later than the 18th of November
and made good yields, but we cannot
recommend this practice.

AT THE PLAY.

One of the best if not the best
singing organization ever seen
in Topeka gave Victor Her
bert's comic opera Naughty Marietta"
at the Grand last night. The fact that
it was produced by Oscar Hammer
stein should have been a sufficient adj
vance guarantee, but it evidently
made little or no impression upon
Topeka theater goers and music lovers
for the audience was not a capacity
one by any means.
The music is we'll up to the Herbert
standard. It is light without being
Frivolous and trashy. Occasionally it
approaches grand opera, but it is new
er tiresome even to the person with out
music in his soul"
Florence Weber, the prima donna,
is one of the best light opera stars ever
heard in Topeka. She has a sweet,
rich soprano voice under perfect con-
troll and in addition is q clever actress.
Cara Crendell, the contralto. is also
endowed with a wonderful voice, but
her personality is less pleasing.
Juan Cardo, the tenor. is also a
wonderful singer and Edouard Beck,
the basso, is not far behind. Then Sid
Braham, the comedian, is a singer as
we'll as an actor and as Silas Slick, he
kept the audience in good humor. be-
ing ably assisted by Blanche Latell as
the husband seeking old maid.
Taken as a whole the company is
first class. It had one of the prettiest
chorus of girls ever seen on the local
stage and they could sing and this ap-
plies to every member of the company.

WASHINGTON Was DEAD THEN
F. w. Mahin Calls Attention to His
torical Inaccuracy of X. c. Paper.
To the Editor Of the State journal:

To the Editor of the State Journal:
There appeared an editorial in the sun
day edition of the Kansas City Star of
January Is, 1912. to the effect that Wash
ington refused to run for a third term
for the reason that he wished to retire
and not because he had any objection 10
a third term; and that four years later
he again refused for the same reason
when pressed to run for the presidency
Now, I do not object to the Star assign
ing any motive that Washington may
have had for refusing a third term If the
editor can get any consolation out OF it,
but I do object to bringing him back
from his grave after he had been buried
over one year.
Washington's second term ended March
T. 1877, and he died December "A. 1899. and
the Election for president for the follow
ing term was held In November, 1900.
Washington. therefore, was not alive at
the time referred to by the editor of the
Star as -Four years later he again re-
fused for the same reason.
