Disease and Crime,

A laboratory has been established
in Chicago that is to determine the
causes Of crime and their relation to
disease by means of blood tests.
The blood of persons convicted in
the morals court will be examined
with minuteness. and where various
persons are accused OF the same type
of offense careful comparisons will be
made. If disease was contributing
cause of their downfall the new de-
parture is expected to demonstrate
the fact with such scientific exactness
as to suggest means for the removal
of the disease. Chemical analysis
will also be used in ferreting out
crime where the blood tests show
predisposing tendency to certain
lapses. The exact nature of certain
bIoodstains will be no longer subject
to doubt. and in tracing the effects
of poisoning and the nature Of the
particular poison used the laboratory
win be invaluable for its certainty
and saving of time.

A Poor AvOCatiOn,

Nearly three months since you
told me I was being considered
for the office l was after, and this
is TO advise you that you needn't
consider" me any longer. After
mortgaging my house and blowing
in all the money paying hotel bills
in Washington l have returned
home and gone to work for a liv-
ing. The Promised Land looked
as beautiful to me as it did to
Moses, but my luck was no better
than his: I couldn't cross over.
This alleged extract from letter
to a high official in Washington,
whether genuine or not. is full OF
sound philosophy, says the Macon
Telegraph. Our contemporary states
a truth when it declares that office
seeking is a poor trade, especially
during periods when the seeker is
only one of a vast, striving multitude.
Probably a great deal more money is
spent in seeking offices than ever
comes out of them, and the energy
wasted by the army of the unsuccess-
full is enormous"

No. we are not saying that the fer
tilizer companies are charging you
too much for phosphoric acid. The
trouble is that you buy phOsphoric
acid in an expensive form instead Of
a cheap form. The same amount of
phosphoric acid in acid phosphate or
basic Stag costs you four times as
much as it would in ground phos-
phate rock.
Do we advise you, then, to stop
buying acid phosphate and buy
ground phosphate rock?
Certainly not-at least, not until
you have done some other things.
The fact is that on the average
Southern soil acid phosphate is a
cheaper source of phosphoric acid
than ground rock, although a pound
of phosphoric acid costs four times
as much in the former as in the
latter.
1t is this way: The phosphoriC
acid in the acid phosphate is in solu-
BILE form-the plants can use it. That

Leaden-F Justice,

The wheels of justice not only do
grind slowly, but they must grind
slowly and with due deliberation, de-
clares the appellate court in decis-
ion handed down one day this week,
in which if is set forth that justice
of the peace has no right whatever to
try to hurry up a jury, or force it
to a verdict in any given space of
time.
The decision was in the case OF
HAYWOOD against Kitchens from Dub
lin, in which the judge instructed the
Jury that he would give them thirty
minutes to make a verdict. The
decision of the higher court says:
"WhiIe the amount involved was
small the evidence was sharply con-
ficting and somewhat voluminous,
and the conduct of the justice tended
to hasten the consideration of the
case"
1t seems that the justice was anX-
ious to catch a train, and for that
reason tried to hurry the jury.

CoIQuitt Producers Organize.

Organization of the Colquitt Coun-
ty Producers Federation is the lat
est achievement of the Moultrie
Chamber of Commerce.
In each of the militia districts
there are to be twelve executive com
mitteemen, these to be appointed by
the president with the assistance of
the district vice presidents. 1t is the
purpose to have four of these com
mitteemen who are especially inter
ested in stock raising, four who are
especially interested in hay and grain
raising, and four in truck growing.
1t is expected that as soon as possible
each of these special interests will
organize in each district a stock club,
a hay and grain club and a truck
club, the general federation to give
assistance in the organization of
these clubs and to furnish them with
bulletins and literature bearing on
their respective work and to bring
before these clubs as often as possible
experts from the state and national
government bureaus to teach the
farmers the best methods of raising
stock, curing diseases in stock, rails
ing and marketing truck and rails
ing and curing hay and grain for
market.
, There is little doubt that the new
organization will succeed. AS the
Macon News says, its mission is one
that can but appeal to the enterpris-
ing planter. The producer and the
consumer have long occupied the
back seat. 1t is high time that each
was asserting his right. Government
reports show that the consumer is
paying more for what he buys, while
the producer is getting prices far be-
low the top"

MAKE EDUCATION PRACTICAL.

From the Progressive Farmer.
The greatest task confronting our
educational leaders today is that of
making education practical. And it
is gratifying to find the general
awakening to this fact. In converse
ton with perhaps the ablest state
superintendent of education in the
South the other day the writer de-
clared: While, of course, a farm
boy should know United States his
tory and geography, yet if he hasn't
time for everything in the course
of study he had better cut out geog-
raphy and study agriculture instead,
and cut out United States history
and study health--a good book on
hygiene and sanitation" And the
superintendent agreed with him.

WHERE NERVE WON,

From the Savannah News.
So far as their life stories have
been published successful yeggmen
seem to agree that nerve is an essen
tial in their profession. Hence they
shouldn't fear to welcome to their
ranks the alleged safe blower who
calmly walked out of the United
States court room at Birmingham
while he was resisting eXtradition to
Mississippi and while the judge sat
calmly on the bench and detectives
as calmly stood in the court room
and corridors. The prisoner appar-
emily vanished when once outside
the court house. OF course there is
not much use in having criminal
courts unless men charged with
crime can be induced to await the
outcome of their trials.

You PAY Three Prices for Phosphoric Acid
From the Prog ressive Farmer.

time: and then, instead of paying
five or six cents a pound for TINS
plant food in acid phosphate you
could get it for a cent and half
pound in the treated rock. You could
afford then to apply larger quantities
and thus guarantee an abundant and
permanent supply for all your crops.
AS it is, the unused portion of what
YOU apply this year may be insoluble
next year.
Wouldn't this be worth doing?
Wouldn't it be good business to re-
duce your phosphoric acid bill
which is fully one-third your total
fertilizer bill-to a third of what it
now is?
Of course it would. There's liter
ally millions in it, for the farmers
of the South, and you can have your
share of it.
But how can you do it," There's
just one way: Fill your soil full OF
humus by turning under green ma
nures or applying stable manure.
Then you can apply ground phosphate
rock and rest assured that your crops
will be fed and your land built up.
! If you keep your soil poor in humus
by continued cropping and neglect OF
the legumes you must continue to
pay high prices for phosphoric acid

An Interesting Experiment.

The scout cruiser Salem, one OF
the three fastest vessels of her type
in the world. has been detached from
the United States Atlantic fleet, and

BILE. the governments new high pow
er wireless station at Arlington, Va.
An attempt will be made to keep the
Salem in communication with the
Arlington station practically all the
time, both day and night, while she
is steaming across the Atlantic.
Those who designed the station did
SO with the idea in mind that when
operating at its highest efficiency ii
would be able to communicate direct
with London, Berlin, Paris and other
European cities, and also that il
would be able to establish direct
communication with the great sta
ton the government is to erect OF
the Isthmus of Panama. Likewise
it is believed that eventually the sta
ton will be able to establish com
munication with any warship in tn
navy, no matter in what part Of tn
world the ship in question may be

distance Of more than 5000 mile

Governor Brown has received from
an American and foreign land eX-

of inquiry concerning the land own
ership laws of Georgia. The inquiry
was of especial reference to Japanese
acquiring land ownership in this
state. The letter stated that a colony
of forty to fifty Japanese families
now in California were anxious to To-
cate in Georgia provided there was
no law prohibiting them from buying
land. The governor referred the
writer to Attorney General Fielder for
accurate information. The Japs
would be about as unwelcome in
Georgia as they are in California.
