REVOLVING IRISH WERE
NOT REBELS SHAW SAYS

LONDON, May 10.-George Bernard
Shaw discussing the executions of the
Sim Feiners in an open letter today
says:
my view is that men who were shot
in cold blood after their capture or sur
render were prisoners of war and it was
therefore entirely incorrect to slaughter
them. The relation of Ireland to Dub
lin Castle is in this respect precisely
the same as the Balkan states toward
Turkey or Belgium toward the kaiser
or of the United States to Great Britain.
Until Dublin Castle is sperseded by a
national parliament and Ireland is vol
UNFAIRLY incorporated with the British
empire like Canada, Australia, or South
Africa, an Irishman resorting to arms
to achieve the independence of mis- coun-
try is doing only what Englishmen will
do If invaded and conquered by the Ger
mans.
such an Irishman is as much in or
der morally in accepting assistance from
the Germans as England is in accepting
the assistance of Russia in a struggle
with Germany. The fact that ne knows
that his enemies will not respect his
rights if they catch him and that he
must fight with a rope around his neck
adds in some measure to his glory in
the eyes of his compatriots and in the
eyes Oh misunderstood duIllEGIS VI pa
triotism throughout the world. The
slaughter of a man in this position
makes him a martyr and hero. The
shot Irishmen will now take their places
beside Emmett and the Manchester mar
tyrs in ireland and beside the heroes of
Poland, Serbia, and Belgium in Eu-
rope. Nothing in heaven or earth can
prevent it.
81 am not Sim Feiner 1 have al
ways insisted it is the duty of Ireland
to throw herself with all her force
against the Germans and Austrians. But
1 remain an Irishman and resent any
imputation that 1 can regard as a trail
tor any Irishman taken in a fight for
Irish independence against British gov
eminent"
Replying to the protests which have
been made in the last few days against
the putting to death of leaders of the
Irish rebellion, Herbert Samuel, the
home secretary, said today that the
government would have been guilty of
objectionable weakness if it had not
melted out stern punishment to the
guilty.
The public might rest assured, Mr..
Samuel added, that neither the govern
ment nor the military authorities had
any intention of adopting a policy of
wholesale prosecution.
Mr.. Samuel thought it would be
found the number of cases in which it
was necessary to enforce the extreme
penalty was nearing an end.

ROBERT FAY GIVEN EIGHT
YEARS IN ATLANTA PRISON
German Lieutenant and Others
Convicted of Plot to De-
Stroy Munitions Ships
by Associated Press. J

NEW YORK, May 9.-Robert Fay
former lieutenant in the German army
convicted in the federal court yester-
day of conspiring to destroy munitions
ships of the allies through bomb con-
trivances, was today sentenced to serve
eight years in the federal penitentiary
of Atlanta
Walter Scho1z, his brother-in-law, and
Paul Daeche also convicted, were SEN
fenced to serve four years and two
years, respectively. The three were al
so fined 50 each.
Talking from the bench beside which
were heaped bombs, explosives and 9TH
er exhibits introduced during the ten
day trial, Judge Howe said to Fay:
According to your testimony you
committed a grave crime against Ger
many by DESERVING your post and coun-
try where you were engaged in lawful
warfare to come here where you have
committed still graver crimes against
this nation for the purpose of helping
Germany in the war. Altogether too
many things have been happening in
this country since the war commenced.
This court is going to convince you and
thoroughly warn others that this coun-
try is not a proper place in which to
carry on the war and that our laws are
still binding Notwithstanding the war
in Germany"
Under the conspiracy of which the
three were convicted, three other de-
PENDANTS are to be tried-Dr. Herbert
Kienzle Engelbert Brokhorst and Max
Breitung.

Border Patrol
Kills 'BadMdn
In Rifle Duel
Demetrio de la Cara Kept
Store on American Side of
Line but Sympathized With
ViIiStaS

MARATHON Tex, May 1G.-Deme-
trio de la Cara, once known as the
bad man of the Big Bend country" met
his death in long range rifle duel with
an American trooper on Monday in the
hills near Boquillas. The cavalryman
not only killed oe la Cara, but killed
the Mexican's companion.
De Ia Cara kept a small trading store
on the American side of the Rio Grande,
but ranchers have long known him as Il
smuggler. News of his death was
truck contractor
De la Cara resented the presence of
the American soldiers as a border pa
troll and in Boquillas he is said to have
given advance information to the Villa
bandits before their raid. The informer
with an assistant observed the Ameri-
can cavalaryman on patrol duty near
Boquillas on Monday and the two Next
cans opened fire. The cavalryman re-
turned the fire and killed the two Mex
leans.
BANDITS IN LARGE NUMBERS.
Villa bands in large numbers are re-
ported to be concentrating at Ell Pine,
eighty-fve miles south of Boquillas The
two bodies Of BIZ ldits split their forces
after the Glenn Springs raid with the
understanding that they would join their
commands at Ell Pine. These bandits
have been operating several months in
the vicinity of Sierra Mojado and recent
ly began their movement to the north
with design on American border towns
There were reports here today that
the bandits contemplated further at
tacks on settlements near Preside, but
these are not credited as army officers
believe that the Villa bands will retreat
toward the interior and await to see
whether they are being pursued before
beginning new depredations along the
Rio Grande.

You will observe that beans APPEAR
to take considerable amount of nitrogen
out of the soil. They should, however,
obtain the nitrogen they need from the
air. or at least the greater part of it,
and will do so under normal conditions.
Cabbage and corn exhaust the nitrogen
from the soil rapidly. Tomatoes, for in
stance, do not draw heavily on the pot
ash supply as compared with turnips,
sugar beets or cabbage. You will OBJ
serve that phosphoric acid is not ex-
hausted from the soil so rapidly as pot
ash, on the other hand, if the leaves and
waste parts of garden crops are returned
to the land or made into compost a
great part of the potash removed from
the soil can be returned to it,

NOTES ON BROOM CORN CULTIvA-
TON

TION.
II. T., Cedartown, Ca, writes 1 would
like some information in regard TO broom
corn. Can it be raised successfully in
Polk county, Is there market in Geor-
gia for it?
There is no reason why broom corn
should not be successfully raised in
Polk county. Presumably there is a
market for it in Georgia, as brooms are
made in a number of places. Probably
you can find out by applying to the Hon.
w. G. Cooper, of the Atlanta chamber
of commerce, just where you could dis
pose of the brooms in Atlanta to adj
vantage.
Broom corn should be planted anC
cultivated much the same as field corn.
Sow in drills about three to four feet
apart, depending on the richness of the
land, and thin out SO that the stalks
stand three to six inches apart in the
drill, Use about five pounds of seed
per acre. Ever-bloom corn seed is one
of the best varieties to use.

SUPPLEMENTAL FERTILIZERS FOR
COTTON


J. W. r., Rome TIA, writes: 1 have

Have turned the land to a depth of six
inches, narrowed and rolled it. and have
it in fine condition. Have put two tons
per acre of stable manure in the rows to
which was added so pounds of acid. What
want to know is what kind and how
much commercial fertilizer to use.
We judge from what you say that you
have put your land i'm excellent condi-
tion for cotton and that it is now in fine
filth. You have acted wisely in putting
two tons of manure per acre and thor
oughly mixing it with the soil. We
suggest now that you apply to this land
a formula carrying about per cent
nitrogen and 9 per cent phosphoric acid
IF you use equal parts of cotton seed
meal and acid phosphate you will secure
a formula containing the percentage in
dictated and about 1 per cent of potash
as we'll We refer, of course, to the use
of standard cotton seed meal If you
use other materials as carriers of nitro
gen you viii then eliminate any potash
from your formula The nitrogen car
rier to use should be determined from
our point of view largely by the. cost
of the same. In other words, If cotton
seed meal will furnish available plant
food at as low or lower cost than other
materials, then we would use it. We
think there is nothing you can combine
1t with to better advantage than acid
phosphate. We think 300 pounds of the
above formula can be used to advan.
tage. Where one desires to raise an
extra large crop we advise the use OF
800 pounds per acre, putting 800 pounds
on at the time of planting and 200
pounds as a side application shortly
after the cotton has been chopped to a
stand.

land in the early fall and then break
the land again early in the spring. When
setting out plants such as tomatoes and
peppers a little collar of paper may be
wrapped around the stem. 1t should go
down in the soil about an inch or two
and come up about the top of the earth
to the same height. This is an effective
protection against cut worms.
Situated as you are at present, about
all you can do to fight these pests is
to examine the ground well where any
injured plant is found the first thing in
the morning and dig up and destroy the
worms. Then make up a mixture OF
paris green, bran and molasses. Enough
of the molasses should be used to make
the bran adhere well, and a small
amount of paris green will be sufficient
to use, say an ounce of paris green to
one pound of the above mixture. These
little balls should be scattered along the
ground. Cut worms will often eat
them and, of course, will be killed by
the poison. 1t is not of much service
to put out these balls of bran and mo-
lasses after the plants are up. Spraying
is of no avail against this pest. Rota-
tion of crops. proper cultivation of the
land and the destroying of the worms
as indicated are about the only sugges-
tions l can offer you under the circum-
stances.

ment he began to deteriorate mentally
and physically. He was already "mooch-
in" and simply by 3moochin'" he was
damaging his nervous system, and making
it harder for him in the future to work.
For it is an established fact that, if pro-
longed, lack of occupation is itself a
producer of the morbid bodily condition
uniting for work tramps and other
chronic idlers.
But, in addition to slowing down his
physical processes by prolonged failure to
keep his mind profitably occupied, this
unfortunate business man, through his
perpetual changing of residence, gradually
made it increasingly difficult for him, not
simply to do regular work, but to remain
for any length of time in any one locality
In other words, he unconsciously allowed
fondness for change to become habitual
with him, just as other men unconsciously
allow fondness for drink to become ha-
bitual and imperative.
Herein, as see it, we have the true
explanation of most tramps. In some
cases, but in comparatively few, it is
