Sailed SATURDAY.

NEW YORK, May THE Lusitania sailed from
New York for Liverpool last Saturday and was due
to arrive in Liverpool late today.
Fears for the big liner were expressed here before
she sailed following the published advertisements Of
the German government warning persons crossing
the ocean from travelling in British owned vessels
Among the prominent persons on board the liner
were Alfred Vanderbilt Ebert Hubbard, Charles
Frohman the theatrical manager, and Charles Klein
famous dramatist.
The liner carried 1910 passengers when she sailed
The big liner made her first trip across the Atlantic
in 1907 and in few trips soon established the record
for the run, doing it practically in five days. fiat
The sister ship the Mauretana, built since, now
holds the record from Queenstown to New York %

Latest reports say that all persons on board were

Substituting Phosphate
Rock for PhOsphOriC Acid
John r. Fain, Professor OF Aeronomy,
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
ii it is not applied with baruyard 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 1t accumulates each day, or il
green manuring is to be used, it car
be broadcasted on the field before the
crop is turned under. t~

CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER
LIVESTOCK IN GEORGIA
Andrew NJ. soule, 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 a vast number of
farmers. In this campaign the Col
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
bred animal is. The speakers will tell
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
when the wrong methods of feeding
are practiced or when high priced feed
is given to poor gn1de 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 it's 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.

During the winter. go after the ap-

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

By Mrs. Lon Dickey, Chairman
Civics

AS chairman for our club year OF
l915-16, | wish to thank all who have
sought to aid our committee in their
work, and to say that while we have
given our program as called for in
our club calendar, we feel that our
work has really just begun
Concerning the floral Improvement
we feel that with the addition to our
department of the Horticultural COM
mittee, and the Inauguration of an
nual chrysanthemum shows, both
conceived and arranged by our capa-
bic and efficient president, Mrs. Isl
dor Gelders, that this department OF
the civic work has been greatly slim
ulated, and that we will see splendid
results.
We have learned that a large sum
of money is being expended in the
addition to our city of new reser-
voir, which does not render it wise
to ask for water pipes and hose for
watering our street parks and other
public grounds, but we believe that
our city council, realizing our needs
along this line, will give us ali we
need as soon as they are in position
to do so.
We have learned, also, that the
prisoners are kept very busy exca-
waiting for this reservoir, which ex-
plains why more attention has not
been given to keeping our beautiful
streets clean and free from loose
paper and other trash, but that Mr.
K. b. Fletcher, who has them in
charge, is concerned about this and
will give it the attention it deserves
later.
We realize that the board of edu-
cation will have to expend a large
sum of money in the erection of new
school buildings this year, hence will
not be in position to aid DR.. Ford in
his splendid work of supplying the
school grounds with equipment fol-
the promotion of healthful recreation

committee to aid in this work, also. ir

Perhaps no program of the whole
club year is of so much general in
terest as the one Wednesday after
noon, which was arranged for by Mrs
Lon Dickey, chairman of the Civic
Department.
Mrs. Dickey began her talk in the
interest of civic Improvement by Civ
ing humorous definition of the word
legislature, viz: "A legislature is a
body of law makers who know moth
ing at all about law"-and said she
would offer a/parody on that in ref
erence to the city council: "The city
council is a body of men who know
nothing concerning our wants unless
we tell them" and added that she had
this message from the mayor: "You
ladies get together and make known
your wants and they will be taken
care of" This was, indeed, most
gratifying.
Mrs. Dickey quoted this from a
modern writer: "The finest flowers
are those transplanted-for trans
planting means difficulty; a readjust-

BUSINESS MEN TO USE THE
HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM
(Contributed)

(COntrlbuted)
Arrangements are under way to make
one evening week period of amuse.
ment and exercise for the business men
OF the town. In the absence of a Y
NJ. c. A. building or a public gymna.
sium where the men of the town may
take systematic exercise and a shower
bath, an attempt will be made to cover
these conditions by opening the high
school gymnasium at least once each
week to the public. Should it become
necessary for two evenings in order to
accommodate .all, this can be adjusted
later. It is necessary to provide some
sort Of exercise that will accomplish
at least three essential ends:
l. Not too violent for men who are
out Of practice in all manner of ath.
letics.
2. It must be Of type that will
bring all muscles into play and give the
individual enough work to bring out a
good sweat.
3. 1t must have the game element in
evidence to an extent that will drive
away business thoughts and cares.
After looking over the field of indoor
games, especially those which are now
being used extensively in the Y. M. C.
A. buildings all over the country, there
are but two which stand out prominent
ly, viz: indoor baseball and volley ball.
The former is limited to a great extent
by the number who may take part and
at the same time there is not the dis
traction that one would want. Volley
ball offers all the requisites needed to
make an indoor sport for business men
that is clean, active, and yet not too
strenuous.
In order to yascertaoin just how many
men of the town there are who would
be interested in an evening at the gym
nasium for work in volley ball and a
