ENTIRELY TOO EARLY.

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun in a
strong editorial Sunday condemned the
early political talk which is being con-
Lected with the name of Governor Nat
T. Harris, to which We add a hearty
amen"
From the intimations given in some
of the stories connected with possible
candidates for governor next year, it
would lead one to believe that Cover
nor Harris has ruined himself hope
lessly, and his friends hope to save
him by not allowing the governor to.
be candidate for reelection.
Vultures also move about the record
of the governor with the intimation
that he is virtually on his death bed.
A great many of Georgia's ills can
be directly traced to politics-the
Iever-ending and never-ceasing kind
Even the great Office as chief exec
utiye of the state is not saved from
such nauseating rot
Governor Harris is the same elect
ed by the people in their last election
and the only change is that he is a
stronger man, and his displayed his
strength.
The day of reckoning will come
when some of these "early birds"
really start something.

Substituting Phosphate
Rock for PhOsphoric Acid
John r. Fain, Professor Of Agronomy,
Georgia State College Of
Agriculture

On account of the high price of
phosphoric acid, dealers are pushing
rock phosphate as a substitute at this
time. The farmer must not be misled
into believing that the ground phos-
phate rock will become Immediately
available like the acid in the produc-
ton of crops.
The rock phosphate will give better
results on the second crop than on
the first one, and, better still, on the
third than on the second. 1t is the
policy on the farm of the College of
Agriculture to apply the ground phos-
phate rock every three years.
Rock phosphate will prove disap-
pointing. on many soils of this state
if it is not applied with barnyard ma
nure or with green cover crops turned
under. To get the best results from
ground phosphate rock, it is necessary
that the soil contain considerable or
ganic matter. In this respect, the
soils of Georgia are quite deficient,
hence the necessity of applying the
ground phosphate with barnyard ma
nure or green manures. The ground
rock can be scattered over the ma
nure as it accumulates each day, or If
green manuring is to be used, it can
be broadcasted on the field before the
crop is turned under.

CONGRESS MEETS TODAY.

The Sixty-fourth Congress convened
at the national capitol today. 1t is
remarkable body, made so for many
reasons and in many ways.
Prominent and the towering subject
which confronts the session is that OF
national defense. President Wilson
has sanctioned a plan for an increase
in the army and navy of the United
States. The army and naval commit
tees of the house have approved his
plan, and state that they will back the
administration.
A discordant note has been sounded
by Majority Leader Kitchin, of North
Carolina, in the lower branch of con-
gress. uBt his quaking will be short
lived. Champ Clark, speaker of the
house, has intimated that he would
take the floor to fight for the plan, and
a long term of years as minority leader
would make him prominent figure in
the fight.
Representative Mann, of Illinois, the
Republican leader, has issued state
men endorsing a nlan of national de-
tense, but was unkind enough to say
that he would not stand for "dicta-
ton from the president. 1t happens
that Mann will no. prove an all-pow-
erful factor, however.
The house is composed o. 229 Dem
ocrats, 1877 Republicans, g Progress
ives, Socialist, / Independent and 1
vacancy. The Democrats have ma
icrity of twenty-four.
The old face of Joseph G. Cannon,
the former and dethroned GEAR of the
hcuse," will again be familiar in the
lower branch.
Congress has every ear-mark Of
having lively session.

1t is indeed appropriate that Helen
Rowland and her Bachelor Girl
should appear in this column, SO these
are some or her paragraphs:
A fool can't tell anything about the
facility with which a girl can be kissed
and gentleman won't.
Just about as woman IS beginning
to work herself up to the point of phil
osophy where she can believe that "life
is what we make it," somebody comes
in and brutally asks her how much
she weighs.
When man is blind to all a wom-
ans faults, it is more often because
his eyes have been dazzled by the
CLINT of her fortune than because they
have been affected by the radiance Of
ller beauty.
The modern girls idea of real
hero" is getting to be just plain, ev-
ery-day man, who pays his rent, keeps
his hair cut, does his work and loves
his own wife.
The most subtle and up-to-date
lover is the one who can talk New
Thought while he holds girls hand
and gazezs into her eyes with all the
old old ones.
The second wife is usually happier
than the first because by that time a
mans has gotten all his bachelor theo-
ries about "how to rule a woman" and
chow to make over a wife" out of his
system.
A man begs for the first kiss, takes
the second, demands the third, accepts
the rest-and endures the last.
AS long as man looks at girl
through the rose-colored glasses of a
new romance, there is no use trying to
disillusion him by telling him that her
hair and complexion come in bottles.

veil.

CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER
LIVESTOCK IN GEORGIA
Andrew M. SouIe, President, Georgia
State College Of Agriculture

On November %, an exhibit of pure
bred livestock and home grown food
stuffs was started from the Georgia
State College of Agriculture to travel
over the state, to make about 200
stops and reach vast number of
farmers. In this campaign the COLI
lege of Agriculture has been joined
by the United States Department of
Agriculture and the Railroads having
lines in the state.
Announcements have been made
public of the exhibiting places. Those
who have yet the opportunity of Wis
iting the exhibits and hearing the ex-
perts on the subject of livestock rails
ing in Georgia, should make sure of
using it.
The purebred and registered live
stock will consist of Jersey, Holstein
dairy cattle, short horn and Hereford
beef cattle, Percheron horses, duroc,
tamworth and berkshire hogs. These
have been taken from the College
farm for this tour of the state. They
are to tell their story Of what a pure.
of the importance of introducing such
animals into the foundation of the
livestock industry of this state. Lit
erature will be distributed which has
been put out especially for this cam
paign.
The homegrown food stuff exhibit
presents in striking and pointed way
what Georgia grows or can grow for
the feeding of livestock. This is part
of the College exhibit at the State
Fair and has many important lessons
for the Georgia farmer.
Without growing more livestock
Georgia can make no permanent ad-
vancement in agriculture. A certain
amount of livestock is necessary to the
economical operation of any system of
agriculture. No other means of con-
serving soil fertility is comparable
with that of feeding farm crops and
returning manure to the land. Live
stock, however, can be improbable
are practiced or when high priced feed
is given to poor grade cattle. 1t is.
therefore, very essential to get good
quality of stock and then know what
is the best homegrown ration.
To help farmers buy at low cost,
the College and its co-workers pro-
pose to help the farmers buy pure
bred animals on cooperative basis,
assuring the lowest possible cost and
at the same time the best grade of
animal for the money.
This campaign has as its end in
view the welfare of the farmer, moth
ing else. If you are in sympathy with
such movement lend it your pres
ence and encouragement, if possible

BOYS PIG CLUB.

Of peculiar interest was the assem-
blage of sixty-one Sumter county boys
in Americas Saturday, when they or
ganized their pig club.
Under the instruction of Demon
strator j. G. Oliver, the young men
have begun a work which has been
preached throughout the South for
years, and especially during recent
times.
The salvation of the South is diver
sified crops and the raising of meats,
A striking example is the unprece-
denied wave Of prosperity which is
sweeping over the United States. This
wave is felt more strongly in the
North than in the South, all because
we are an agricultural people and
have sentenced our section to a pau
per's life.
The boys are beginning a great
work.

Go After Apple
And Pear Cankers
T. n. Mediation, Professor Of Horti-
culture, Georgia State Col
iege OF Agriculture

During the winter, go after the ap-
pie and pear trees for blight cankers.
Cut out the cankered spots till heal
thy wood is reached. Make good
clean cuts with sharp knife, then
paint the wood with a disinfectant
paint, or apply Bordeaux mixture.
These will prevent spores which may
have been left there, from developing
and bringing on next spring the
blight.
1t has been demonstrated that the
blight winters over only in these can
kers and that the sweet emulation
of the cankers attract bees in the
spring, which, in turn, go to the flow
ers of the tree, carrying the spores,
thus spreading the blight over the
twigs of the trees.

ATTAIN "A HAS FALLEN
BEHIND OTHER. CITIES

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 6.-That the
city of Atlanta has fallen far behind
other cities of similar size i'll the class
of her fire apparatus is declared by
Fire Chief Cody, who says that there
is a serious need for more motor fire
apparatus at once.
1--WE have twenty-six square miles

Southern cities more difficult to cover
Knoxville and Richmond"
The fact that Atlanta has had few
disastrous fires during the past few
years, Chief Cody attributes more to
good luck" than to the city depart
ment's mechanical adequacy in facing
big city blaze.
The proposition is before council,
and has meen for some time, but
whether a material appropriation will
be obtained any time soon is a prob
lematical question.
