MOST PROFITABLE DAIRY FEEDS
s. w. Hart, Professor Of Dairy
Husbandry.

InQuiry-What is the most economi-
cal and profitable dairy ration to use
in Georgia?
Feeding tests conducted at the
Georgia state Colltge of Agriculture
for a period of ninety three days, av-
erage weight of COWS 800 pounds,
showed that COWS fed at the rate Of
six pounds of cotton seed meal thirty
three pounds of corn silage and two
and one half pounds Of corn slower.

MAY UPSET COTTON MARKET
A Recent English Discovery Is Hailed
as Meaning an End to Our World
Supremacy.

According to recent dispatches from
London, a revolution in cotton grow
ing is promised by discovery which.
it is asserted, will give the British do
minions an opportunity of breaking in
brief space of time the supremacy Of
the United States in the worlds cotton
markets.
The discovery which was made by
Waldemar Schutze, consists in a sim
pie means of producing perennial cot
ton crops without the degeneration OF
the plants and developing within the
plants such healthy characteristics
that they become not only immune
from pests, but resist frost in mod
crate climates
Mr.. Schutze, it is stated, found that,
whereas the qualities Of a good moth
er plant are not produced with any
certainty by seedlings, these qualities
can be maintained by grating from
a high quality mother plant on to a
daughter plant
Mr. Schutze says that If British cot
ton growers adopt his methods immedi-
ately they will obtain a five year lead
on America.
On the other hand. another side of
the picture is shown in recent reports
from St. Petersburg, where some time
ago the Russian government embarked
at great expense on a plan to encour-
age the cultivation Of cotton in Asiatic
Russia. principally Transcaspia and
Turkestan. to such a degree as to
emancipate Russia from American cot
ton imports.
Great irrigation works were under
taken, and bountes were provided for
cotton planters; but according to a
report recently received by the Rus
sian minister Of commerce. all the eff
forts proved absolutely unavailing. AS
heretofore. Russia will have to depend
on American cotton.

PORCUPINE TO BE DISPLAYED
Another of Commodore Perry's Ships
Has Been Discovered and Fitted
Up for Centennial Celebration.

Cleveland. The Porcupine, another
vessel of the feet which. under Com
modore Perry, defeated the British
feet in the battle of Lake Erie in the
war Of 1912. has been discovered and
is being repaired to take part In the
centennial celebrations Of Perry's vic
tory.
Raised from the shore Of the lake
eight years ago and hauled ashore by
Charles G. Dollhouse, the Porcupine IS
being refitted by Mr.. Dollhouse and his
cousin, B. J. Renners of Cleveland.
After the battle Of Lake Erie the
Porcuplne was used in the government
revenue service on the great lakes
until 1880. when she was sold at auc-
ton to Senator Ferry of Michigan.
Senator Ferry rebuilt the boat and
used her N the lumber trade until
1917. Unfit for further use, the Porcu-
pine was turned adrift and later float
ed into the harbor OF Grand River,
Mich, and sunk.

SOUTH GEORGIA VS.. NORTH GEORGIA

IF those South Georgia folks want
two-inch seine, why let them pass
special laws for each of their coun-
ties, but don't let them come up here
saying we shan't eat fish unless we
grow big ones. We won't stand for
it, that's all, and we are going to
fight this nefarious bill to finish. :"
There you are" said the South
Georgian. We've been trying to get
a governor from our section for the
last fifteen or twenty years, and you
have beat us out every time. Now,
when we want to protect our fish you
try to stop us. What's the matter
with you, any way?"
And so it goes. In the meantime
Chairman Rainey's committee is
sweating over that extra half-inch in

EXILE HABlTUAL CROOKS
1t Is Suggested That They Be Con-

The question of eXiling habitual or
professional criminals is being agitat-
ed in England. The prison commls'
sioners in their latest report state that
the proportion of persons having previ-
GUS convictions has in the last few
wears risen from IS to 81 per cent.
In 1911. the latest year for which
the figures are available, only 11S of
the GIG persons sentenced by the
courts to penal servitude had not been
previously convicted. and the greater
number of the old offenders had from
six to twenty convictions against them.
There are now, it is estimated, con-
slderably more than 10000 habitual or
professional criminals I'm London.
A distinguished British judge. Sir
Alfred Wills. says Of them: mo pun

NOW A PAINLESS WHEAT
Moisture Saving FaIlows Make Agri-
culture Possible ON the Arid
Plains of Africa.

What seems one of the most wonder
csl and fruitful discoveries of the
world. say dispatches from London,
was announced and described by Mr.
Macdonald IN a lecture at the Royal
Colonial institute recently. A few
years ago 1t was universally believed
that In the dry belt In South Africa
agriculture was tied to the water fur.
row. This meant a few cultivated
patches islanded in a desert. In fact
tens of thousands of acres are today
carrying crops in the dry district with
no help from irrigation. We quote the
lecturers words:
America has grown wheat on an
eight inch rainfall. Australia has
grown wheat on five inch rainfall, but
we in South Africa have grown rain
less wheat That is to say that dur
ing the last season in Lichtenburg.
which Is in the dry zone Of the Trans
vaal, we have grown wheat without
q single drop of rain falling upon it
from seed time until harvest, This is
the Durum wheat apulia. which we
originally introduced from the dry belt
of Italy.
"Our success has been due to the use
of what we term moisture saving fall
lows The great problem of South
African agriculture is not the problem
of fertility. 1t is the problem of the
conservation of moisture
eve have now solved that problem
and made possible the immediate set
Element of our dry or arid lands. But
the triumphs of science as applied TO
agriculture in South Africa are not
confined to the discovery Of rainless
wheat. The locusts. which have
plagued the land for ages, are today
kept under control. The progress of
the insect invaders. which from the
days Of the pharaohs till yesterday was
regarded as irresistible as fate, can to-
day be easily checked by means Of ar
genic spray.
1.-The fight of every swarm of locusts
is registered and telegraphed TO the
headquarters OF the union department
of agriculture of Pretoria. and when
the young locusts emerge the veldt is
ridged by poisoned grass, over which
they cannot pass. A short time ago
the government Of Peru sent an expert
to the Transvaal to study our methods
of locust destruction, but the only To-
Gust which the entomologist could
show him was to be found in the mu-
scum. The authors of such discoveries
as these, the real creators of wealth,
are surely the true heroes as they are
certainly the benefactors Of the race.
Yet what is their personal reward

BACHELORS AND CRIME
UNMARRIED CRIMINALS OUT
NUMBER MARRIED ONES
THREE TO ONE.
THREE-FOURTHS UNDER THIRTY
Married Men Attempt Suicide More
Frequently Than Unmarried Ones.
The Single Women Criminals Are
More Numerous.

New York.-Many more unmarried
than married men commit crimes, ac-
cording to the report of Henry ID.
Saver. chief clerk of the district attor-
news office. The report shows that il
1912 there were 7S9 convictions of
married men in general sessions and
in the criminal branch of the supreme
court and that there were 2,06S convic-
tons of unmarried men. There were
&c convictions of married women and
100 convictions of unmarried women.
Records show that in the last nine
years there have been 1906 convic-
tons of unmarried men, while among
men who had at some time led bride
to the altar there were but 1870 con-
victiOns. The unmarried men excel in
almost every crime on the calendar.
The most notable exception is in the
case of attempted suicide. Last year
the ratio was three married men to
one unmarried.
The report also shows that about
three fourths Of the men who are
brought into court are under thirty
years of age. OF the 2,S57 men con-
victed last year $40 were under the
age of twenty and 1878 were between
twenty one and thirty years old. Aft
er the age of thirty the ratio gradually
decreases. there being but FIVE men
over seventy who last year were con-
victed of any crime. Out of 26.O79
persons convicted In the last nine
years II. O52 were between the ages of
twenty-one and thirty and 1928 were
between fifteen and twenty years.
Among the women two-thrids Of
those convicted were under thirty. 1t
is also apparent from the report that
in the last nine years there has been
a gradual increase in the number or
young men of criminal tendencies, the
number of convictions OF male crimi-
nails under the age Of thirty having In
creased from LOO in 1904 to 1920 In
1912. On the other hand, the number
of convictions of men over the age
of thirty has remained about station
airy.
The report shows that the Office dis
posed of 6,651 actions during the year.
There were 3O23 convictions in gen
eral sessions and the supreme court.
Of which 1888 were upon pleas of
guilty and $40 upon verdicts after
trial. There were 321 trials that re-
suited in acquittal.
There were more convictions for
murder in the first degree than in any
other year in the history of the coun-
ty. Thirteen persons were convicted
of first degree murder. while the high
est number appearing in the records
of other years is eight. 1t is also wor-
thy of note that for the first time on
record in this county four men were
Jointly tried and each found guilty OF
murder in the first degree.
The average sentence imposed was
FIVE years and six months, and the
total state prison terms amounted to
1891 years. The longest sentences
were for burglary in the first degree.
There has been a gradual increase In
the length of sentences imposed since
1904, when the average was four years
and six months. The most frequent
crime was grand larceny, with 66O
convictions. Next came burglary, with
400 convictions.
