Farmers Are Buying Freely Of Ferti.
Iizer Grades Used In Planting

Crops. s.i.

Jackson.
Fertilizer manufacturers in Missis,
sippi report that sales have been much
lighter than last year, especially for
the brands used by cotton growers,
and, while there is little probability of
a cotton acreage production exceeding
80 per cent, 1t is believed that the fer.
tilizer sales will decrease nearly SO
per cent.
However, the farmers are buying
freely of the grades of fertilizer used
in planting corn, and other grain
crops, and there is also a heavy de-
mand from truck farmers who will
soon be transferring plants from cold
frames to the field. The truck acre
age in several counties will be more
than 100 per cent larger than that of
1914.
According to figures in the office of
Commissioner of Agriculture Blakes-
lee, fertilizer sales to date are about
5 1000 tons below the showing made W
to the same date last year.

THE RINGING WORDS or
PRESIDENT To GERMANY

IF the commanders Of the Ger
man vessels Of war should act upon
the presumption that the flag Of the
United States was not being used in
good faith and should destroy on
the high seas an American vessel
or the lives Of American citizens, il
would be difficult for the Govern
ment OF the United States TO view
the act in other light than as an in
defeusible violation Of neutral rights
which it would be very hard indeed
10 reconcile with the friendly reia-
tons now so happily existing be-
tween the two Governments.
IF such a deplorabls situation
should arise. the Imperial German
Government can readily appreciate
that the Government Of the United
States would be constrained to hold
the Imperial German Government
20 a strict accountability for such
acts Of their naval authorities. and
take any steps It might be necessary
to take TO safeguard American lives
and property and TO secure to Amer
lean citizens the full enjoyment Of
their acknowledged rights On the

The greatest hope that the tenn

this State have in the County Unit
Law Is that its provisions be en-
forced and bootleggers and blind IT,
gers be brought to justice. In this
effort all county and town officials
should be united. No time or pains
should be spared in making this law
effective to the utmost. Every ac-
cused person has the right Of trial
and when convicted the penalty
should be Immediately imposed.
Law-abiding and temperance people
Of the State become discouraged If
they see that the County Unit law
appears unavailing in any section
where its provisions have been vot-
