Knowing what elements Of plant

by various crops each year, a basis
is afforded for a permanent and profit

With such knowledge to start with

born in Singapore of German parents
who came to Jolo many years ago
and were given a large plantation
by the sultan. A more romantic YER
sion is that they were castaways,
sons of Capt. Henry Schuchs, of the
German bark Fritzie, wrecked on
Jolo island in 1884.
According to the story the boys,
six and eight years old. were found
dashed to a raft which was cast upon
the beach. They were adopted by
Moro tribes who regarded them as
spirit children because of their fair
and light complexion.
After many years they became
chiefs, being the only white persons
in the Philippines who professed the
Mohammedan religion. They mar

CORN FIELD ALIVE
WITH RATTLESNAKES
Laborers Refuse to Work, and Eff
fingham County Farmer Must
Now Crop With Machine.

GUYTON, Calf you were a
farmer and had a bumper crop of corn
ready for harvest hands how would
you like to have that field rattle
snake bound-that is, so infested
with rattlers among the corn and
grass that you could not get negro
.laborers for love or money to gather
the crop?
That is just what is happening on
the farm owned by c. w. Shearouse,
a prosperous planter near here. In
the last few weeks his son has killed
three large rattlesnakes in the corn
and hay in the field. Negroes hear
ing of this now refuse to work on the
farm and the corn is standing ready
for harvest.
Mr.. Shearouse has on his farm
rank growth of "beggar weed mix
ed with hay grass among the corn,
and this affords protection and feed
for snakes. He has a large acreage
planted in corn and to harvest the
crop he now plans to cut the entire
growth down with a moving machine
and pluck the corn from the stalk af-
terward. On the last round of the
moving machine it would be inter
esting to see the number of snakes
that have sought shelter and food in
the thick growth of corn, hay and
beggar weed.
This is an interesting situation for
a farmer, but it can be met with
the aid of improved farming imple-
ments.

ment of fertilizer, if he does not know
that it is not needed. In peat and re-
claimed lands there is a supernatural
ance Of nitrogen, as a rule, yet IL Ter
tilizer is applied without knowledge
of this fact, the probabilities are that
the usual amount of nitrogen would be
applied and nitrogen is quite eXpen-
sive.
A soil analysis is needful also in
helping the farmer to determine not
only how much plant food is present
in the soil, but about how much more
is necessary to stimulate and make
available to a maximum degree that
which exists in the soil. Where there
are marked deficiencies in any one or
the elements, it is essential to know
in what proportion fertilizing elements
should be applied to develop given
crop to the fullest extent,
knowing the deficiencies of a soil,
system of rotations can be applied
calculated to conserve and build up
the fertility. A series of tests are be-
ing made with various crops on vari-
Gus types of soil in the state, under
the direction of the College, to deter
mine the limiting factors in developing
the full plant food value of these soils.
Naturally it will take time, but once de-
termined there should be valuable in
formation at the command of the
farmer.

TO INCORPORATE THEMSELVES
TO INSURE A REDUCTION OF
THE COTTON CROP.

A meeting of the cotton growers of
Calhoun county was held at Morgan
for the purpose of seeking some
measures of relief from the present
distressed condition of the cotton
market. z. T. Rabun presided. 1t
was decided by a rising vote to or
ganize the Calhoun County Cotton
Club. A motion was adopted that a
committee be appointed to draft res
olutiOns and the chair appointed the
following: J. S. Cowart, T. o. Law
renee, e. G. Jordan, J. B. Gillian and
J. L. Boynton.
The committee submitted
lengthy report recommending a per-
manent organization under the laws
of Georgia and embracing resolutions
setting forth it's aims and objects.
This report was in part as follows:
For our mutual benefit and pro
lection and in order to foster and
promote higher education in farming
and better social relations between
the cotton growers of Calhoun coun-
ty the undersigned owners and cul-
tivators of lands in Calhoun county
merchants, bankers, lawyers and
BUSINESS men, do hereby associate
themselves together.
"The name of this association shall
be the Cotton Growers Association
of Calhoun County, Georgia.
1.-The membership of this associa-
ton shall be restricted to the regis
tered voters of Calhoun, except wo-
men who own and operate farm lands
are entitled to membership; also col
ored farmers who own and operate
farm lands are entitled to member
ship therein.
1.-The object of the association shall
be for the educational and social i'm
provement of its members collectively
and shall be especially aimed at a
restriction of the number of acres to
each unit of cultivation in cotton;
said unit being now commonly
known and designated as a plow;
and incidentally therto the procure
ment of educational propaganda on
the subject of diversifying crops and
improving farm methods.

legation of the membership of said
company restricting the acreage of
cotton would inf1ict irreparable inju-
ry upon the other members and

DAMAGE BY EXPOSURE
UNPROTECTED COTTON IS COST
ING FARMERS MUCH MONEY.
Hundreds of Bales in Streets, Fields
and Other Places Are Being
Injured by the Weather.

A practice among many Southwest
Georgia farmers that is causing no
little loss to them is that of allowing
their cotton, after being gathered
and baled, to stand in unprotected
places, where it is subjected to the
changes of the weather. There are
thousands of bales of cotton standing
about in the streets, fields and other
exposed places and the bad weather
is causing great damage to the sta
pie.
After the cotton has been gather
ed, ginned and baled it should be
properly housed. The expense at
tached to growing and harvesting the
staple is great, and if an additional
expense is incurred by allowing the
bales to stand in the open there is
very little hope for a profit
In many places cotton is being left
with absolutely no protection as to
weather conditions, and this negli-
gence will bring about a loss of many
thousands of dollars in this section
alone.
From reports the loss from this
practice will be great, and there is
no help for it except through the
farmers themselves.

WILL MAKE LAST
STAND FOR FRANK
His Lawyers Have Begun Prepara-
tiOns for Final Effort to Save
Him From the Gall0ws.


ATLANTA, Ga.-COunsel for Leo
NJ Frank today entered into the final
week of preparations for the legal
contest which is now regarded as the
only barrier between the defendant
and the gallOws, the motion to set
aside the verdict on the ground that
Frank was not in the court room at
the time the verdict was rendered.
The point will come up for argument
before the state supreme court next
Monday.
The point is a peculiar one. Leo
Franks own lawyers waived his pres
ence in the court room, they agree
ing with the court that under the
then excited conditions his life might
be endangered. No complaint was
made by Frank. But after other at
tempts as a new trial had failed
new set of lawyers appeared for
Frank and entered this plea. 1t was
much commented on at the time that
Rosser and Arnold, his regular coun-
sci who had waived his appearance,
did not attempt to protest their own
action, but permitted another firm to
enter this plea. 1t is stated that to
win his point Frank must prove that
he was ignorant of his cOunsel's con-
sent to waive his appearance and
that he never gave his personal con
sent.
