GEORCIA'S DAYAT WASHINGTON.

While the echoes are yet resOunding, The Journal
wishes to reterate its call TO Georgia to awake to
the honor that is hers in the Inauguration of Wood
row Wilson as president of the land 1t is a signal
honor that Georgian bred, adopted son of the
state, has been chosen by the nation its chief
executive No less is the honor that Georgia WON
an will the next mistress of the White House and
that two of the daughters of that distinguished pair
born in Georgia
1t is Georgia family, in short that is going into
the White House next March
And the whole of Georgia should be represented
by her best men in hundreds in Washington on in
auguration day in fitting acknowledgment and ap-
probation of the honor.
How many are there among us who have wit
messed the Inauguration of president? Few in
deed and in proportion the whole population their
number is very SMALL. 1t has been twenty years
since a Democrat was inaugurated into the presi-
dency Sixteen years ago, twelve years ago, eight
years ago, and four years ago, the presidents
we're Republicans in whom neither Georgia nor the
south felt intimate interest Consequently few south
erners saw any of them indicted into Office.
1t has been more than half century since
southern man was made president.
1t has been nearly seventy years since a southern
Democrat became president.
Never before has adopted son of Georgia
been inaugurated into the presidency.
Never before has a daughter Of Georgia become
mistress of the White House. Never before has
Georgia family been at home there.
March 4 will be Georgias first day in Washington.
Let her best men celebrate it appropriately.
Let the Atlanta chamber of commerce accede to
The Journals suggestion already voiced, that it as
sumo the active leadership of a statewide movement
to rally all the leading Georgians in every walk of
life and to muster them at Washington Inaugural
ton day.
The spectacle of our presidents Inauguration is
hardly less elaborate and is no impressive than
the browning of a king of England.
All the nation will be there
Georgia is closely knit with the rest of the
nation by Mr. Wilson's election than she has been
since the days away back in history when she Joined
with twelve other states and declared the indepen-
dence of the American republic.
Georgia has come into her own again.
Let Georgia be in Washington March 4.

FTFTY YEARS OF
SCIENTIFIC FARMING

1t is very pleasing to those Georgians who appre-
the great value of farm training that the semi
centennial of scientific EARNINGS recognition by the
national government should have been celebrated in
Atlanta, Thursday, by the Association of American
Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations In
1862 Congress enacted legislation which made the
state agricultural schools possible by offering them
liberal financial support.
More than one hundred of the nations leaders in
scientific farm training have been gathered in At
lanta in attendance upon the sessions of this impor
tant association Their adjournment Friday after
leaves their science little nearer the solution
of many of its problems. Their work, from year to
year, is one of the most important in the worlds
scheme of economy, for its aim is the increase of
the soils yield to man. Their association has be-
the clearing house of their newly acquired in
formation. The semicentennial of the real beginning
of their work found them in Atlanta, the heart of
the south, center of great and growing section
where realization is just dawning of the rich
increase made possible By intelligent farming.

ANOTHER MONARCHY FALLING

In the aftermath of the news about the assassina-
ton OF Premier Canaleias in Madrid the other day.
comes an intimation that SPANS monarchy was
shocked its very foundations by the deed and that
the shock leaves it totering and swayng unsteadiy
Between the lines, it is made to appear that the old
monarchca structure calls for visit from the build
ing inspector. 1t has grown unsafe.
General Weyer, known among us as 'the butcher
of Cuba" was picked by the king. it was reported to
succeed Premier Canaejas; but the threats of a
oution against that appointment grew too loud and
Count Romanones, another liberal but popular
one, has been designated The policy of the govern

in its personnel
Canalejas' assassination removed "the one man
who stood between the throne and republic" as he
had become known in Europe.
Whether he the sole prop under the mon

AN OPEN DOOR PRESIDENT.

Some one asked Governor Wilson at Trenton
the other day whether, when he becomes presi-
dent he will continue the "open-door" policy which
he inaugurated in the New Jersey executive office
and has followed with such success.
Il am going to try to-" the president-elect's
swer is reported to have been. He added the hope
that he would succeed at it.
Since the dispatches told OF that, the leading
Republican newspapers have been alternating be-
tween satire and alarm at the thought of presi-
dent receiving his callers Unfortunately ard
transacting his business in plain sight of every
body. Even some of the Democratic papers have
expressed skepticism that it be done.
No one holds brief for the presdent-elect.
He is admirably equipped to make his own posi-
ton clear any point. But there is often much
more meaning IN his words than hasty reader
sees there. 1t may be that Mr. Wilson is not so
entirely mooney" some of the wise old news
paper martinets around Washington have init
mated
In New Jersey Governor Wilson has dis
patched business rapidly and well at the executive
offices. When he entered those offices he found
that some of his visitors insisted upon talking to
him behind their hands. They we're uncomfortable
at the thought of an open door behind them. But
a new type of leader had come-and either they
transacted business out in, the open with him,
they did not transact it at all
President Wilson win succeed with his open
door" policy. Those who have followed his course
in New Jersey know that he will. No one who is
reasonable about it expects that during his admin
istration President Wilson will dispense with the
services of secretaries or secret service men. His
position would make like that simply dan
gerous. The secretaries must be there as buffers
to keep the casual visitors with no business away
from the president, and as beuncers to get the
long-wnded visitors out of the executive office
The secret service men must be there to guard
against the crank menace, a matter of common
safety. But a reasonable Interpretation of Mr..
wilson's expression is simply this: that he will
have no secrets from the people, whispered con-
ferences hugging matches with pestiferous poll
ticians of a type that we have here in Georgia; no
star chamber agreements with men of big interests
He will continue the presidents daily reception pc
Rod doubtlessly and will limit his actual greet
ngs to the casually visiting throngs to that It is
very probable that senators and congressman will
have access to him at all times, instead of being
compelled to make engagements a day ahead as at
present. In other words, he will discharge the du-
ties of president openly and freely as possible
under the conditions which surround president.
The alarmist views of the opposition press must
be amended TO a modified Interpretation of
what Mr.. Wilson, a very intelligent man, meant
when he answered the question that some visitor
addressed to him casually

HONOR FOR DR.. SOULE.

Dr. Andrew NJ SOue received a merited tribute
when at the Atlanta session Of the Association Of
American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Sta
tons he was elected vice president of the assoca-
ton. The presidency itself would have been none
too great an honor for the head C. Georgias agricu
tural conege-the man who as much as any other
in Georgia during the past FIVE years has contributed
20 the states material development. DR. Soule is
the agricultural editor Of The Semi-Weekly Journal
Dr. Soule's work at the state college of agricul-
ture in Athens began bear fruit couple of years
ago when the first OF the students trained under his
direction and imbued with his fervor graduated
from the college and went home to their fathers
farms or entered the ranks Of agricultural teachers
Nowadays the benefits Of the new ideas in farming
are growing and more evident throughout
Georgia Things have come to the pass where the
achievements Of the farmer who uses his brains as
vel as his back appreciated By his neighbors
and are analysed By them that they may go and do
likewise. The spirit Of emulation is abroad in the
land and the leaders are at their task OF showing
the way in every community.
Dr. Soules work reflects great credit upon the
material which was once latent in Georgia for the
making Of good farmers. farmers that could hold
their own with any others anywhere, but it re-
bounds to his honor well. The dignity which
his feow-workers in the national association con-
ferred upon him in Atlanta Friday is one which
fits him we'll

tically the same as those of two pre-

that there is no reason for opposing

The results Of Il recent experiment at
the Iowa station would indicate that
siluge fed steers will show greater
gains through the feeding period than
when silage does not constitute a part
of the ration. Cheaper gains were
made with the silage fed steers. The
ration having the largest proportion of
silage was the most economical. The
silage fed steers kept in better condi-
ton.
A recent experiment at the Indiana

Is some question as to what proportion

be a big factor in beef production. The
experiments at the Illinois station lead
