GAINESVILLE. Ga. April 1.-THE

advantage Of the recent good weather

weather since the beginning of the year
has made the planting of all crops late.
but the farmers1 are not at all dis
couraged and have undertaken their
work to make the most of the situa-
ton.
A careful inquiry authorizes the
statement that only in three respects
are conditions different from previous
years, namely, lateness in planting, lit
tie preparation OF the land, and a de-
crease of the quantity of fertilizers TO
be used. The usual acreage will be
put in cotton, corn ar other crops.
The use of fertilizers will be cut about
80 per cent according to the opinion
of the dealers. Labor and other condI-
tions in this section are little changed
from revious years. TEA
1t is generally agreed among the

WILL CO
DEMOCRATIC FOR WILSON
SO Declares Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer One of
Democrat Leaders
BY RALPH SMITH.


WASHINGTON, April l7.-That Gov.
Woodrow Wilson viii not only have the
enthusiastic support of the entire rs
delegates from Pennsylvania to the Bal
timore convention, but that he will carry
the keystone state in November if he
is made the nominee of the party for
the presidency was the confident claim of
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer, one
of the Democratic leaders of the house
and a great power in the Pennsylvania
Democracy, who returned TO Washing
ton today. after his triumphant victory
in the primaries Saturday.
Mr.. Palmer was showered with con-
gratulations on the fine victory scored by
himself for denomination as we'll as upon
the splendid victory accorded Governor
Wilson.
The result of Saturdays primaries
means that the Pennsylvania delegation
will be practically solid for Woodrow
Wilson's nomination" declared Mr.. Pal
mer, in speaking of the results.
I'VE know in the machine-ridden state
of Pennsylvania the kind of support we
need to win, and we know that Wilson is
the man who appeals most strongly to
the independent voters heretofore aligned
with the Republican party, but now look
to unite to voice their protest against
intolerable conditions.
'Pennsylvania's overwhelming support
of Wilson will have great weight in de-
termining the result in other states,
where the delegates are still to be chosen,
and If he shall be nominated 1 would
have the strongest hope that we can car
ry this state at the general election.
''Roosevelt's big vote in Pennsylvania
was not a personal tribute to him, it
was simply the demand of Pennsylva-
mans for change and this demand will
be repeated I'm the fall when ii will make
itself felt against the nominee of the
Republican party, whoever he may
be-"
