ZEPPELIN RAIDER
+. MEETS DISASTER
Ue3sS OsSs
L-20 Driven Ashore on West
Side of Hafso Firth,
Norway.

LONDON. May 4-The Zeppelin L-2O
has been destroyed and driven ashore
on the western side of Hafso Firth,
Norway. according to advices from
Stavanger. Some of the crew were res
cued.
The Leo belonged to a squadron of
Ave airships which attacked the east
coasts of England and Scotland Tues
day night. according to a member of
her crew. says a Copenha gen dispatch

of the sixteen men on board the Zeppe-
lin. all were rescued and interned by
the Norwegian authorities.
One of the crew said the Zeppelns
were forced by gunfire and adverse
weather to cut short their attacks and
that, owing to lack of benzine, the
L-20 was unable to keep in company
with the other raiders and was driven
eastward by a strong wind and hurled
against mountainside. The LEO was
commanded by Capt. Stabberg.
Some Leap Overheard.
The Zeppelin L-2O passed north of
Sandnaes about 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing, says a Reuter- dispatch from Sta
vanger. She was flying at low alti-
tude and was in a damaged condition.
Five or six men were seen to jump
from the airship. Boats put out to
their assistance and the commander
and one seaman were rescued and TAX
en- to a hospital.
The Zeppelin was then driven over
the hilltops and against the hillside.
Its afterbody broke in two and part of
IL fell to the ground. Some of the
crew jumped or were hurled out
The Zeppelin then rose a little and
was driven westward, but the bag of
the dirigible collapsed in the center and
the airship descended rapidly. A tor
pedo boat which had been following
along the coast went to it's assistance
and rescued three men still in the cab
in fourth man had jumped out
shortly before.
The wreck of the L-2O is now lying
on the shore of the west side of Hafso
firth. where it was anchored, and is
watched by the military.

U. S. Will Accept Main
Points of Agreement
Reached With 0bregon

The United States government is
ready to accept in its main points the
agreement for the future pursuit of
Villa and his bandits drawn up by Gen.
Obregon, the CarranZa minister of war.
and Gen. Scott representing the United
States. This was decided at confer
and Secretary Baker.
Formal announcement of the position
of the United States government will
not be given out until Gen. Carranza
has had opportunity to pass on the re-
port submitted to him by Gen. Obregon.
AS soon as that is done another con-
ference between Gen. Obregon and Gen.
Scott will be held on the border and the
negotiations will be formally concluded.
While no official information has been
received from Gen. Carranza, officials
here take it for granted that Gen. Obre-
which would not have been accepted by
his chief.
The agreement provides for the CO.
operation of United States troops and
Carranza soldiers in clearing northern
Mexico of bandits. Mexican railroads
will be utilized for the transportation
of supplies for the American troops.
While no time limit is set for the
withdrawal of the American troops
from Mexico. that will be done as soon
as there are definite indications that
American border towns are no longer
in danger of raids.
Secretary Baker and President Will
son reviewed the agreement at length
today. and Secretary Baker sent
message to Gen. Scott on the future
conduct of the negotiations.

PRESIDENTIAL POINTERS.

OF discuss on in the First con
gress. in view Of the fact that the
constitution declared that the
president should receive compen-
sation for his services. Wash
ington had notified his fellow cit
liens that desired no salary. The
limits suggested in congress
ranged from $4,000 to $4,000.
The salary was finally placed at
$4,000 and this remained the
compensation until President
Grants second term March 3,
1873, when it was increased to
$4,000. Chapter 291S of the
laws of the seuond session of the

WHO GETS THE TARIFF?

! Truly the people are thinking
now as they never thought before.
Under the above title we read a
very excellent and illuminating
article in a recent issue of The
Enterprise by Mr.. G. 0. Pharr.
We have known Mr.. Pharr a num-
Der Of years as a very bright man
and to us it is no wonder he has
opened his eyes to the tariff de-
fusion. Granting he means only
that the "whole burden of rails
ing and delivering the cane" is
borne by the man who tills the
soil, he is right in every particu-
lar. But the burden of the
tariff, which he did not dwell on
is borne by every consumer of
sugar in the United States and as
there are many million more poor
people, than there are rich, the
sugar tariff falls with crushing
weight on them. True, Uncle
Sam gets fairly good revenue
from it, but at what a cost? In
a million homes from this time
on, sugar must come onlyfas al
luxury. If these world wars con-
tinue there is no telling to what
a price it may soar. Entirely be-
yond the reach of the very poor
we feel certain. After this, the
workers who raise it will be COM
PEELED to get their satisfaction
mostly out of chewing it while
getting it ready for the market,
and the poor in the country, in
houses, in the slums
will have to chew the rags of |
their poverty and think of the
good old days of 1914 when sugar
sold for four cents a pound.
The only good we can see in
tariff on this prime necessity of
life is, it has tendency to re-
store confidence in sections where
cane is raised and cause the well
to do, to be little less charry in
spending money. But we must
,ver bear in mind it benefits no.
BODY but the sugar refinsries and
sugar trusts.

ICE TEA BAD FOR KIDNEYS.

Many authorities agree that tea
is bad for the kidneys, but it is
recognized fact that the Indians
brewed teas from roots and herbs,
which when drunk hot were very
beneficial. A tea Of this kind
which is a wonderful medicine is
Ge-Rar-Dy Tea, which eliminates
the poisons from the blood, liver
and kidneys. It is so inexpensive

CORN NEXT IMPORTANCE TO
SUGAR CANE ON LOUISE
ANA SUGAR LANDS

Natural conditions, together
with good business, demand thu
growing Of more than one cror
on any land. 1t is well known
that one crop, with constant
feeding Of plant food, and at a
fixed level, is the most exhaustive
plan of farming that can be prac.
tised. The wearing out of old
and clearing of new lands for SUI
gar cane in tropical countries is
a living example Of putting off
the evil until the day thereof.
And it is only a question Of time
and uncleared acres, until Cuba
will have to rotate crops, build
back her lands, or be satisfied
with a smaller production of SUI
gar per acre.
Until such time comes when the
power driven pillow will replace
the emblematic Donkey" large
quantities of grain will be re-
quired annually on every Louisi-
ana sugar plantation. This feed
can best be grown at home as corn,
and that plant So fits in a rotation
with sugar cane that it is but nat
ural that we find it second in
Importance in the Louisiana SUI
gar belt. Notwithstanding this
fact, long before a new crop is
harvested, many of the plantations
find themselves sending money to
some other State to buy feed.
The experiment stations have
demonstrated, time after time,
that large crops of corn be grown
at a profit on sugar lands, and
these yields have been often
equaled and sometimes surpassed
by individual farmers. 1t is
sometimes said that the crop Of
corn grown as a rotation crop be-
tween two crops of cane, is moth
ing more nor less than getting
land in condition to grow cane
again. If that is true, then we
much charge the loss on such a
corn crop either to the preceding
or following cane crop. On the
whole, it would appear much bet
ter business to do little more
work in getting stubble land into
shape, and grow a good crop of
corn that would at least balance
The account, and same some mon
ev that annually goes ont Of the
State. It has been a practice to I

that cannot be had in sufficient
quantities, four to six hundred
pounds of fertilizer containing
per cent available phosphoric acid
and 5 per cent nitrogen, mostly
organic, should give returns.
Cowpeas alone when turned un-
der have increased the yield of
corn at the Sugar Experiment
Station, ten bushels per acre.
Nitrate Of Soda, applied at the
rate Of seventy-fiye pounds per
acre on corn that had not gotten
a good start, as been Of good
service. On most Of the sugar
lands it is optional wheter ferti,
lizers should be applied before
planting corn or after the crop is
up to a stand. The sandy lands
probably would do better if such
material was applied two or three
weeks before planting. Whether
applying before or after plant
ing, fertilizers should not be
drilled in the seed drill or too
close to the corn roots. In either
case, more damage than good may
be done. In the first case, this
is often the reason why a large
of corn has to be replant-
ed. So long as the seed bed is in
the proper state of filth, the turn
plow has no place in a system of
cultivation. Any implement that
will pulverzie the surface for two
inches, and not run up the cost
If growing the crop, is good for
the purpose. In fact, the turn
blow should not be used to cult
vate corn, unless the seed bed is
BADLY packed, or after wet wealth
n, when grass or weeds have got
en- such growth that smaller
Implements will not handle them.

poorly prepared seed bed; il
fact, the opening the row enc
covering the cane amounts to re
bedding, and is sufficient to put
land in enough better physical
condition to insure increased
yields if the same were planted in
corn. During the last ten years.
the average yield Of corn per
acre in Louisiana has undergone
a notable increase. This has
been due to better seed, better
preparation of seed bed, and bet
ter cultivation. The experiment
stations have tested over two
hundred varieties of corn, and Of
them, the larger yields are gen.
orally obtained from the prolific
types, such as Gandy's, Hastings
or Mosby's Prolific OF the larg-
er cared types, Calhound Red
Cob, Shaw's Improved and Sen

the best. OF the yellow dent va
