BRANDS ARE
TO Be CHANGED THIS YEAR
Cause Is Lack of Potash,
Heretofore Secured From
the Germans

Owing to the fact that the German
government has entirely stopped the eX-
portation of potash, one OF the principal
ingredients heretofore used in CONNER
cial fertilizer. il Will be necessary this
year for the fertilizer manufacturers to
change brands of practically all their
products. OF which some three or four
hundred different established brands
have heretofore been on the market IN
Georgi%.
This Leans that the various fertilizer
companies must find new brands to con-
form to the ingredients used and must
also register these new brands with the
agricultural department.
Recently Agricultural Commissioner
J. ID. Price submitted the entire ques-
ton to Attorney General Clifford Wal
ker and requested from him an opinion
as to what must be done under the
state law bearing on the branding Of
fertilizers.
Saturday Commissioner Price received
an opinion from the attorney general.
Following the receipt of this opinion
Commissioner Price re-issued the follow
ing ruling. which was issued by the
department on November 81, 1914:
To all Manufacturers and Manipulators Of Com
mercial Fertilizers dong Bushes in the State
Of Georgia:
Incident 10 the scarcity Of potash salts &C.
cssioned by the European war. this department
Is receiving many Inquiries to what its
ruling viii be to registration and sale n
this state OF manipulated fertilizers containing
potash.
The laws governing the sale Of fertilizers
do not nrnhihit the sale Of such mixtures. but
they are subject to all the conditions and re-
quirements pertaining to fertilizers of any
combination.
They must be registered in this department.
giving all the information heretofore required
they must be properly branded, giving the
guaranteed analysis and the sources OF plant
food must be given also.
To be termed STANDARD Grade" the guaran-
teed analysis shall be Of commercial value
eQualing that Of an S-1.65-2.
To be termed 'High Grade" the guaran-
teed analysis shall be Of a commercial value
eQualing that Of a 10-1.65-2.
In registering such combinations other than
former brand names must be used, aud under
no circumstances will a registration of former
brand be allowed that does not conform 70
previous registrations; that is TO say, that
its guarantee shall contain all OF the elements
Of plant food previously claimed.

Commissioner Of Agriculture.

COCKTAILS CANNOT TELL
WHEN CANAL WILL OPEN
Says He viii Make Forecast
for Shippers Benefit as
Soon as Possible
(By Associated Press.)

PANAMA, Jan. 22.-Uncertainty re-
garding the movement of slides in Gail
lard cut prevents prediction as to when
the Panama canal can be reopened, sad
a statement issued today by Governor
Cocktails. of the zozne. The statement
reads:
1T is not intended to reopen the ca
nal until a safe and practicable perma-
nent channel is reasonably assured. This
cannot be assured at present, although
the operations of the dredges during the
past four months have shown that they
are able, when not interrupted in the
work by the passage of ships or the
clearing of the channel for navigation,
to gain on the slides, and it is desired
to have a reasonable assurance that they
can maintain this gain even with the
delay from the above causes.
TT is hoped that before long better
information on the two main controlling
features will be available. The large
mass of rock at the base of Gold hill
on the east bank is being carefully OBJ
served If the materials behind it move
northwardly, as is not unlikely, one dan
ger of interruption to navigation will
be removed.
1.-The other feature is the rate of mo-
ton that will result in the west side
when the dredges attack its face, as
will shortly be done 1t is believed the
dredges can keep well ahead of any pos
sible motion in this mass, provided the
east bank is quiescent or nearly SO.
"As soon as this office feels that
sufficient information on these two
points is at hand to justify it, a pre-
diction will be made. In the meantime
it is recommended that the canal be not
considered in the routing of shipping.
1.-The work of the restoration of the
canal is, however, proceeding most IA
vorably. The Office has in mind the de-
sire of commerce to resume navigation
through the canal and as long notice
as possible will be given to shippers in
order that preparations for such routing
may be adequate"
This statement is the result of ex-
haustive Investigations and studies made
by a special board, comprising Lieuten-
ant Colonel j. Morrow, Commander
Cone and Resident Engineer w. ]. Com

WOnoGn's Wild
Ride on Elephant
Results IN Suit
(By Associated Press, }

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The story of a
woman's wild ride on the back of a
frightened elephant is related in a suit
for 100000 damages brought by Mrs.
Willie Gee against the New York Zoolog-
ical society, under whose care the ele-
plant was kept in Bronx park
One of the interesting details of the
suit is that Mrs. Gee alleges the Zoo
logical society used the elephant as q
common carrier" for carrying passeng-
ers for pay. She charges it was the
duty of the society to provide her with
a safe place to ride on and that the ele-
plant should have been docile.
Instead, she says, she was sitting on
the elephants back when the animal be-
gan to run around the enclosure and
then made a dash for the doorway into
the elephant house. Employees of the
park called out to her to jump off the
elephants back and she did so just in
time to dodge the door casing as the
elephant went through the doorway. In
the fall Mrs. Gee AYERS she suffered in
juries for which she seeks $4,000 dam
ages.

it will produce 100000 a year to pay
the maximum annuity of $500 to those
drawing aid from the relief department
and to pay four fifths of the maximum
annuity TO those receiving a pension
from the sustentation department, one
fifth of the annuity having been provid-

superior court called for the purpose of

There are nearly three hundred names
in the box of Lee county, and Judge
Litlejohn has drawn one hundred and
ten. This number does not include thir-
~ jurors for service on the grand jury
which was also ordered to assemble.
Because of the prominence of the
three white defendants and the discus
sion which has been created over the
case in Lee county, il is considered as
strong probability that a change of
venue will be necessary, and in this
event the cases will be brought to Sum-
