airy resulta only to rle conflict thai
ragged along the A'sne fer several days
/ at the time OF the kalser's birthday
1 The deter nination with which the
Germans launch their attacks may al
ways be estimated by the number OF
casualties they suffer. and the fact
that they LETT two hundred dead on n
small sect. IN of the field near La
Boiselle in the fighting yesterday af-
ternoon, shows that they have gath
cred large force there. and that the
encounter may he expected to con-
time for several days, unless the pro-
gress of the French troops in one
region of Mespil-Les- Hurlus, and
Perthes becomes so marked as to
compel the enemy to send consider
able reinforcements to relieve that
pressure.

night OF February 6-7, with the exp1o-
sion by the Germans of number of
mines on the outskirts OF the town. anf

Great Reduction In Use
OF Fertilizers
Special To The Leador-Enterprise

Special To The Leader Enterprise
Atlanta, March elf anybody
has any doubt about the reduction
OF cotton acreage in Georgia, he can
easily assure himself by examining
the fertilizer tag record of the De-
partment of Agriculture. Commits
sioner j. D. Price says the Depart
ment sold in January 1915, only 10
per cent of the number of inspection
tags sold in January, 1914. In other
words, there is loss or deficit of
8 l per cent. There are several
reasons for this, and the chief of
them is the farmers are buying less
fertilizers. This means there is 90
ing to be a big reduction in this
years cotton yield. Even with near
ly as much acreage, the crop would
be cut way down as the result of
using so much less fertilizer.
