FLETCHER WITHDREW
THE ADMINISTRATION BILL
TO END FILIBUSTE7. !,
ENDS LONG DRAWN OUT FI6AT
Was One of the Biggest Fights in
the History of the Senate. Win
Again Taken Up When the Next
Congress COnvenes.

WASHINGTON-The administra-
ton ship purchase bill was with
drawn in the senate today by Senator
Fletcher, with the announcement that
he would not again attempt to take it
up, because it was evident the oppo
sition had the power to defeat 1t by
talking 1t to death.
Following, Senator Fletcher's an
nouncement republican senator's who
conducted the long fight had jubi-
lation and congratulation meeting on
the success of their prolonged fili-
buster. u.s..
THAT ends the greatest fight in
the history of the senate" said Sena-
tor Lodge, shaking hands with his
colleague, Senator Weeks.
Immediately after the enthusiastic
demonstration dozen republican
senators who had been prepared to
talk folded up their books and papers
and sent them away.
Announcement of Surrender. w. Z.
The end of the long government
ship purchase bill fight in the senate
came late in the afternoon, during
consideration of the war claims bill.
The announcement of surrender came
from Senator Fletcher, who had led
the struggle for the measure from.
the beginning He previously had
moved that the senate insist upon its
amendments and ask the house for
further conference.
Senator Bankhead, one of the dem
ocrats who revolted against the bill,
then discussed its approaching col
lapse and forgave his democratic col
leagues for harsh words spoken in
debate against those who had broken
away from the party on the issue.
When the Alabama senator had
concluded Senator Weeks of Massa-
chusetts recalled the filibuster scenes
by rising behind huge pile of books
and papers and launching into an
other speech against the bill. The
Massachusetts senator announced he
would speak for an hour or two and
then read the names of twenty-four
republicans who were prepared to
speak.
Hearing this ultimatum Senator
Fletcher interrupted Senator Weeks
and reiterated arguments in favor of
the bill, and briefly discussed the
shipping emergency.
but we who have fought for this
measure realize" Senator Fletcher
declared, that it is perfeealy evident
in view of the announcement by the
senator from Massachusetts that il
will be impossible to pass this bill at
this time. I wish to end this discls-
sion by withdrawing my motion,
which I shall not again renew

NIT SATISFIED With
GERNANY'S ANSWER
roN REVENTLOW, NAVAL En-
PERT RAPs GERMANY FOR
CONCEDING TO AMERICA.
SUBMARINE WAR IMPOSSIBLE

Says According to the Arrangement
German Submarines Would Let
English Merchantmen Pass BY
With Salute of Flag.
RERLIN.-Count Won Reventlow,
writer on naval subjects, expresses
in +oday's Tages Zeitung his thorough
disnleasure both with the American
nota TO Germany concerning the ma
val war zone and the German answer
to this communication.
Germany Accepts.
In her reply Germany substantially
agrees to accept many of the informal
suggestions of the United States with
the idea of lettering the general ship
ming situation, provided Great Britain
Yields on her side in certain direc-
lions, particularly in the matter OF
shutting out all food shipments to
Germany. Count Won Reventlow is
almost alone among German COM
mentors in his criticism of the Ger
man reply. Die Post is the only other
paper disposed to express dissatisfac-
ton.
Count Won Reventlow says the
American proposals would have the
effect of making Germany's subma-
dine war impossible. Concerning
Germany's willingness to proceed &C
cording to the general international
rules against hostile and neutral
merchantmen, provided abuse of flags
is abandoned, Count Won Reventlow
says:
Salute of Flag.
According to this German sub
marine would let a merchantmen un-
der the English flag pass by with a
courteous bow, perhaps with a salute
of the flag. To proceed according to
international rules would mean put
ting an end to searching and the pos
sible capture of neutrals and the cap
ture under all circumstances of hos
tiles. Such a course for German sub
marines is out of the question. More
over, even if Great Britain promised
to stop the use of false flags, there
could be no certainty she would keep
her promise; Germany would be the
loser in any event"
Die Post says the fact that the
United States declared its proposals
based on upright friendship and in
terests of humanity was enough to
make one suspicious at the start.
The American proposals have been
dictated solely by American business
interests, this paper says. If Ger
many agreed to these proposals she
would keep faith while England
would not and the result would ham
per Germany's warfare.
Want Misuse Abandoned.
Capt. Persius, another naval writ
er, says in the Tageblatt that he
hopes Great Britain will consent to
abandon misuse of flags and the arm
ing of merchantmen. Then neutral
powers need have no further concern
regarding their ships and their citl-
zens. German submarine command
ers also would be freed of a heavy
load. If an agreement to that effect
was reached the government could
boast of a decided success which Is
freely acknowledged could only have
been achieved through support of the
United States government.
The Morgen Post says the -Amerl
can note is couched in gratifying
form and shows more respect for ex
listing conditions than did the frs
communication from Washington
Taken as a whole, the American pro
posals throughout are worthy of con
sideration, this paper says.

niverrification Best Plan.

Why spend the entire year in plant
ing. cultivating and gathering cotton
at s25 to $50 an acre when the same
time, energy and outlay of labor and
money will return anywhere from
four to eight times this income if put
into vegetable crops? Georgia can at
least begin by growing enough OF
these crops to meet the home de-
mand. This at the start would keep
s11.OOO,O0O a year in the pockets OF
the home people.

COTTON LAST IN
FOUR-CROP TEST
INDUSTRIAL AGENT OF THE CEN
TRIAL OF GEORGIA RAILWAY
BOOSTING MOVEMENT.
AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT

Results of Boys Four Crop Club Uni
versally Gratifying in View of the
Unique Conditions. Show an Aver
age Profit of $3.50 Per Acre.
Results unusually gratifying, in
view of the unique conditions obtain
ing in business circles for several
months, are shown through the COM
pilation of averages attained by con-
testants in the boys four-crop clubs
conducted by the Central of Georgia
railway last season. Preliminary fig
ures in the report now being prepar-
ed by Agricultural Agent Jackson
show an average profit of $3.50 per
acre. Each boy operated three acres.
Cotton Last.
Of the three acres cultivated under
the four-crop plan by six hundred
and forty boys in Georgia and Ala
bama one acre was devoted each to
cotton, corn and oats, the area of land
devoted to oats as a first crop being
afterward put into cOwpea hay, max
ing the four staple crops of the sea-
son. The cotton acreage, based upon
normal values, showed an average
profit of $3.50; the corn acreage
shows a net profit of $58.S6 and the
oats followed with hay show net
profit of $62.54.
Raise Vegetables.
The results attained in the cultiva-
ton of oats and hay, according to Mr..
Jackson, demonstrated the correct
ness of the teachings of the agricult-
uraI department of the Central rail
way and proves beyond question the
advantages of diversification of crops.
The boys naturally know how to grow
cotton, MIR. Jackson said; most of
them have learned from the corn
clubs how to cultivate corn, but few
had experience with oats and hay be-
fore last year, the first season where
the four-crop contests were operative
and it is expected the valuable prizes
to be offered this year by the railway
system-shorthor bulls-will draw
into the contests at least four to five
times as many boys as were enrolled
| last year.

PRICE ADVISES FARMERS
"GROW TRUCK If YOU WANT TO

Says Georgia Is Spending Millions
For Fruits and Vegetables They
Ought to Grow Themselves.

want to make real money on the
farm is the advice of the state de-
partment of agriculture. The depart
ment has recently been making some
careful Investigations along these
lines and finds not only that Georgia
truck sells readily and at good prices
outside of the state, but that Geor-
gians themselves are spending some
thing like $11, 100000 year for
vegetables and fruits grown in other
states.
Georgia Buying Potatoes.
Georgia is paying 100000 a
year for 100000 bushels of Irish
potatoes. An acre of ground will
make anywhere from 100 to 200
bushels at an average price of 81 a
bushel. The same or even better re-
suits can be obtained in growing
sweet potatoes, of which Georgia
buys 100000 bushels every year out
side of the state. Georgia is likewise
importing approximately 100000
bushels of onions. Georgia growers
can get dollar a bushel for these
the year round and make as high as
Zoo bushels on an acre.
Early corn, always in demand, will
bring at least 500 an acre and leave
the ground for the production of tur-
nips or some other crops the same
year. Georgia is sending abroad for
million dollars worth of tomatoes
yearly, although the product would
bring 500 to $3.50 an acre and is al
ways in demand There is equally
good profit in growing spinach, beet,
carrots. caulifiower, lettuce and vari-
Gus other vegetables always in good
demand. and the only place where
these things will not grow in Georgia
is where the seed are not put into the
ground.
