CONG. BRANTLEY INTRODUCES
BILL FOR MORE MONEY.
Could Be Used in Educating Road
Builders and Drainage and IT.
rigatiOn Engineers.

WASHINGTON, d. G. Representa-
tive Brantley today introduced a bill
increasing the appropriations to the
agricultural colleges of the state S.
600 for the next fiscal year and an
annual increase thereafter of $4,000
additional for four years and pro-
viding that this additional money in
whole or in part may be used by the
colleges for maintaining departments
of highways, irrigation and drain
age; for the education and training
of highway engineers, road builders,
drainage and irrigation engineers;
for the study of road material and
road conditions; of swamp and arid
land conditions; for the publication
and distribution of bulletins relating
to all such subjects; for advising To-
cal road, irrigation and drainage au-
thorities through field demonstra-
tons and otherwise, and generally
for research along practical lines
looking to better highways and the
improvement of sanitary and agri-
cultural conditions.
Mr.. Brantley said of the bill:
at is along the lines of present
legislation and contains nothing rev.
dictionary. 1t broadens the scope
of work of the agricultural colleges
In intensely practical lines. 1t pro-
vides for education where education
is needed. If the bill succeeds it will
mean the practical help of the United
States government to our people in
securing for themselves better roads
and better drainage and better san
itary condit ons. The bill has the
support of the authorities of the Uni
versity of Georgia.

society was entertained by Mrs. Tenn
pleton Croker tonight with an ORR
entail ball. In point of magnificence
Of setting and costume it is said to
have outshone any similar entertain
ment in the West and there were
many who contended that it surpass-
ed the celebrated affair given by Mrs.
Crocker's cousin, Mrs. Jack Gourand,
in New York not long ago.
The ball room of fashionable
hotel here had been converted into
the semblance of the throne room of
King solomon's Temple. swarthy
attendants clad in the fantastic dress
of Asiatic principalities showed in
the picture.
The costumes of the participants
were varied and wondrous. Mrs.

win, wore Oriental trousers of coral
pink yelled with brocaded cloth of
gold, worn as tunic with breast
pieces, bodice and broad girdle of
turquoise, pearls and sapphires.
The hostess was regal as Schecher-
azade. Her mauve pantaloons were
embroidered with gold and silver
thread. Sapphires and pearls woven
into harness covered the dress and
from her coronet there fell to her be-
jeweled ankles a veil of silver in
suggestion of the flashing scales of
fish.
The ball had been whispered about
for nearly year, and many had the
opportunity to send or to visit the
Far East in quest of bizarre adorn-
ments. India and Turkey contrib
uted perhaps the most picturesque
costumery, but southern Italy,
Greece and even France added to the
gaiety and color.
No masks were worn.
The men appeared to rs good ad-
vantage as the women. From Indian
mahouts to maharajahs the follow
ers, of Buddha attracted unusual at
tention.
A feature of the ball was a Sa-
lone dance by six young girls attired
in fetching costumes.

INV there should be more rota-

Vt from a business standpoint no

Because soil Improvement is

Those are the real reasons why a
otation of crops is necessary for the
Improvement of conditions on the
.o+ton farm. The reasons usually
,ivon for the rotation of crops ex-
ploin the ways in which a rotation is
beneficial. Crop rotations adapted to
4bo moods of the farm have a very
uide range of beneficial effects. For
more than a quarter of century the
hrrdan of the advice received by the
Farmers of the South has been, 'Di-
varsity your crops and raise your

heed. it is generally accepted as IS
tablished fact that man who will
DIVERSITY his crops sufficient to raise
his own supplies will be successful.
,.DiyersificatiOn" and Rotation Not
the Same.
This does not necessarily follow.
Southern agriculture, particularly
the cotton farm, needs something
more than Investigation and the
raising of home supplies. 1t needs
hn intelligent rotation of crops fitted
10 our soils and the conditions on the
Earious farms. We can see no reason
why cotton should remain the only
bales, or money, crop of so large a
bart of the South. To the extent it
ban be grown, having due regard to
4he maintenance of soil fertility, we
believe it the best general farm mon
BY crop known; but whenever the
acreage is increased to an extent that
suitable rotation of crops is pre-
vented then to that extent it ceases
to be as desirable a crop as many
others which might be produced.
In other words, no cropping sys-
fem, and more especially no single
prop, can maintain a permanently
successful agriculture which neglects
prop rotation as a means of main
faining soil fertility The justifica-
Eion for such statement is found
IN the fact that no such system of
successful agriculture has yet been
developed or maintained by any
arge area of country during the
worlds history.

leaves, etc. -. BIO lbs. nitrogen
If one bale of cotton is grown, the
lint and seed removed and the stalks
burned it will require about two
tons of peavine hay to supply the
nitrogen removed in the cotton crop
and burned out of the stalks, etc.
In such case legume crop yield
ing two tons of hay must be grown
and turned back into the soil to
maintain the supply of nitrogen,
even if no nitrogen were lost from
the soil by teaching. In fact, to
maintain the nitrogen supply in land
planted to cotton, where the crop is
removed as indicated, the European
rule of two legume crops to one nj
rogen-consuming crop like cotton
would be necessary. But if the
stalks, ETC., be plowed under instead
OF burning them and the seed, or
their equivalent in cotton seed meal,
fed to livestock and the manure re-
turned to the land one legume crop
for every nitrogen-consuming crop
such as cotton would more than
maintain the nitrogen content of the
land, whether grazed off or made
into hay, fed and the manure re-
turned.
Good Methods and Bad.
These vastly different results OBJ
tanned by the different methods of
disposing of the cotton seed and the
stalks, as indicated above, show
plainly the reason why different opin-
ions exist as to the value of crop ro-
tat1ons. The value of a legume crop
in the rotation will appear to be
much greater in case the seed are
put back on the land and the stalks
! turned under than when the seed are
sold and the stalks burned.
With so good a money crop as
cotton, one which takes so little from
the land when properly handled, and
with our long growing seasons, which
enable us to grow two crops a year
, in many cases probably a three-year
rotation will prove the most salts

SENATE PASSES A BILL
REQUIRING RAILWAYS
TO SCREEN COACHES

To vary the monotony Of a dreary ses-
sion the senate today was guilty Of real
comedy while passing a bill to require
railroads to equip passenger coaches with
cinder delectors.
The bill was the work OF Senator Har-
ris, of Cedartown, Its principal opponent
was Senator Morris, of Augusta Neither
was present when the measure was APP
proved.
Senator Harris. who has been working
for cinder defiectors for two sessions,
sought to have his bill called up to con-
cur in house amendment Senator Nor
ris objected.
The vaudeville team OF Harris and Nor
ris retired to a smoking room to argue
In the meantime Senator Felker calle(
up the bill and it was passed without op-
position
The bill requires all railroads operating
in Georgia to equip passenger coaches
with effective cinder defiectors beginning
May l, 1918 Senator Harris said that
this is the law in South Carolina and
railroads entering Georgia have been in
the habit of removing the deflectors on
crossing the state line

The report, although not naming the
Socialists, referred to them by un-
mistakable inference cr1ticising them
sharply, Regarding the Chicago strike,
President Lynch said:
Il have no intention of critfcising
any members political belief or at
tempting to influence his political opin-

meaning on the occasion. The mem
bers have made their plans to have the
occasion historical dramatic and edu-
cational as well as a means of giving
Atlanta opportunity to hear the best
that the race has produced from q
vocal and Instrumental viewpoint.
The center OF the festival will be the
Passion Play. The play is written by
Rev. H. II. Proctor, of Atlanta, and
carries the negro through his three
periods of development, Paganism. SIa-
very and Freedom. Special scenery
has been constructed for the produo-
ton and an endeavor will be made to
display negro genius through the sew
eral stages
The poems OF Paul Lawrence Dun
