THE MINOR KEY.

There were times in Georgia. and
even the nation, when politics over
Swallowed everything when it began t.
warm up. But, what a change now
The people almost refuse to become in
terested.
The present campaign for state
house Offices on in Georgia now re-
fuses to 1iken itself to the heat of 1906,
'0S and 10 Men would then fight abou.
q candidate, but it would be almost
impossible to start scrap now.
The direct complaint comes from
the failure of the nation to fall in line,
and the following interesting editorial
Is from the Savannah Morning News:
An unusual complaint is voiced by
Vance Mccormick, chairman of the
Democratic campaign committee. The
greatest problem that has been faced
so far, he says, is that of breaking into
the front page. The war and other in
ternational affairs have crowded poll
tics off the most conspicuous page OF
tie daily newspapers, and the cam
paign managers are finding it exceed
ingly difficult to get their respective
cases before the reading public.
That is a situation with which the
leaders in national campaigns have
rot previously had to contend. Ordin-
arily, the sayings and doings of the
men who are leading a presidential
contest make up the big news of the
day. The newspapers give over their
front pages to those matters in which
the public appears to be most keenIy
Interested; and usually the wishes of
the public are correctly guaged Polit-
ical affairs have simply become of sec
ondary interest for the time, partly be-
cause other matters have doomed up
and partly because Mr.. Hughes, who is
leading the attack on the administra-
tion, has been unable to make the
interesting.
The country is very much interested
in what President Wilson is doing, but
the President is not doing politics TO
any noticeable extent at the present.
The Republican candidate is attempt
ing most of the fighting, though such
fighting as has ayailed to make him a
drawing card in the news columns or
to direct any considerable attention to
the political aspects of the administra-
ton at which his attacks are aimed.

ENGLAND MUST FEED SELF
New Slogan ls Expected to Bring
Great Agricultural Revival In
United Kingdom.

London-One of the effects of the
war win be seen in great revival
Of agricultural life in England and the
United Kingdom. The outbreak of the
conflict caught the British Isles de-
pendent on foreign commerce for four
flfths of their, food supply barring
meat, of which between 90 and 10 per
cent is produced at home.
The motto of a few years ago,
'Back to the land" thus has given
way to the slogan, England must feed
herself" Lord Selborne, the leader OF
the crusade, declares that the attain,
ment of this object is the country's
sacred duty, and he emphasizes the
point that the farmer can do as much
for the country as the soldier in the
trenches.

BRING BACK THE LAND.

While congress is spending millions
and millions of dollars to dredge riv-
ers which will never witness a steam
boat up its quiet and narrow depths,
they might turn the pork barrel up
side down and let other branches of
wet land have money. The reclamation
of the swamp lands is important, and
the Albany Herald has this:
Newspapers of Florida and Geor-
gia have been making much COM
ment of late on the proposed reclaim
alton of swamp lands, and the subject
is being discussed with constantly in
creasing interest. 1t is to be hope /
that it will awaken a strong popular
sentiment in favor of this work for it
would mean great deal to these two
states from development standpoint.
The decayed vegetation of centuries
lies under the water of the swamps,
and when properly drained and Guilt
waited it becomes the most fertile soil
that can be found in America. With
out any fertilizer it will produce prod
igious crops and is practically mex
haustible. The swamps are the store
houses of the ages in which are laid up
treasures for coming generations, and
the present generation can become heir
to very large part thereof by intelli-
gent reclamation work.
That this is no exaggerated state.
ment can be shown by the results OF
draining large swamps in Florida. One
hundred bushels of corn per acre from
LOO acres, without fertilizer, is the
record of one of these drained swamps
This seems like an almost unbelieva.
BILE statement, but it is being done or
the Oklawaha river in Florida, There
are many thousands of acres of just
such swampy land in Georgia which
could be made to do as we'll.
For centuries the swamps have shet
their vegetation into the waters to ro
and accumulate until now the ricl
muck is many feet deep, boarding f;
fertility that would produce crops yea
after year without perceptible loss. II
reclaim these lands by means of drain
age would require much less outla.
per acre than the reclamation of west
ern lands by irrigation is costing, an,
would mean health, wealth and hap
lpiness to a greater number of people
The drainage bitches can be so ar
ranged with dams and bikes, that tn
water can be backed up over the re
claimed land whenever desired for ii
rigation purposes.

Editor Times-Recorder,
Americas, Ca,


Dear Cranston: wish. first of all
to thank you for courtesies to me dur
ling my stay in the city"
1 received Fridays paper, and, just
a moment ago. copy of your Sunday
paper What a splendid, newsy, clean
paper you are giving the people in
the cultured and progressive territory
tributary to your beautiful city!
The Sundays issue of the T.-R, is
neatness itself, and as full of good
things as fresh egg is of meat.
My visit to Americas was exceeding
ly pleasant. Your. people deserved ana
were accorded high praise Off the thor
ough manner in which they prepared
for the Reunion, and the tact and grace
with which they handled every detail.
If there had not been another num-
Der on the program, the address Of
welcome by Mrs. Frank P Harold.
and the historical address by Miss
Mildred Rutherford would have made
it complete
Mrs. Harrold's address was one OF
the happiest, one of the most singularly
appropriate, one of the most forcefuI
.deliverances of its kind / have ever
heard. She proved herself an orator.
and eloquent withal.
Miss Rutherford's Grafton, for it was
nothing short 0 fthat, was surpris-
ingly fine. Her mastery of the polit-
ical and historical situation. through a
long series of intensely active and ex-
citing years, was a marvel in itself
wien one recalls that that is not sup
posed to be a domain in which women
may figure to advantage.
The Grafton was grand. Miss Ruth
erford gave her audience most
striking exhibition of genuine oratory.
A fact, which may have escaped the
attention of number of people in the
was that neither Mrs. Har- |
rold nor Miss Rutherford consulted
manuscript or even held il hand a |
writing pad crowded with notes. The |
two ladies demonstrated the fact that !
the only way in which effectively to
address an audience is to know one S
subject and speak without notes.
may say to you that my election as
Commander of the Georgia Division
L. c. ", was an Overwhelming sur
prise. / had not one time thought Of
that exalted position. / appreciate
beyond words the honor conferred on
ne. I shall seek to honor the conf
dence reposed in me by my gallant
comrades. Yours truly,

BLOOD TESTS TO
AID EGG-LAYING
Connecticut Agricultural College
Is Conducting Interesting
Experiments.
RHODE ISLANDS IN LEAD
With 1852 for 80 Weeks to Their
Credit, They Draw Away From
English Entries-Plan Hen
merry Eugenlcs.

Storris, Conn.-The productive ans
wealth-producing hen is having hel
blood tested at the experiment station
of the state agricultural college here
This, with the idea of improving the
breed of hens with the hopes that
their progeny which escapes poaching
| scrambling and so on will be even
more healthy and egg-fruitful. liz a
word, the experiments going on at the
agricultural college will form the basis
of hennery eugenics.
Hen scientists know that many
chicks inherit an intestinal disease.
To determine the proportion of hens
from which this disease descends, the
scientists of the agricultural college
offered to test, free of charge, the
blood of all the hens entered in the
fourth international egg-laying con-
test now going on at the college, a
contest which is nearing its course of
year.
What Tests Prove.
The test has proved, SO far, that 30
out Of 100 of the birds in the contest
are affected with the disease. The
test known as the "agglutination meth
0d' involves drawing from a hens
wing vein a few drops of blood. After
that chemicals and the microscope
come into play.
Good Americans and lovers of
broiled chicken and omelets will re-
joice to learn that the Industrious
Rhode Islands are steadily drawing
away from the English pen, entered
In the contest by Tom Barron, the
Poultry King" of Catforth, England,
who has won so many prizes in pre-
vious contests. The White Wyan-
dottes, entered by Obed G. knight Of
Bridgeton, R. l., have a total Of 1,752
eggs to their tally at the end of the
thirty-ninth week, while the English
birds can show only total of 1896.
Another English pen, the White
Wyandottes of Abel Latham of Brier-
field, England, have busily run up a
total score of 1889 eggs.

The hens in the contest altogether
laid $3.50 eggs during the thirty-ninth
week, or 20 more than they produced
together during the corresponding
week of last years contest.
The average feed cost has been
found to be II cents for each dozen
eggs, this including the cost of grit,
shell and charcoal. The records show,
too, that from six and one-half to
seven pounds of feed was necessary
for each dozen eggs produced.

What He Saw In Arizona

President Carl Scholz of the Ameri can Mining Congress after his return to Chicago from tour of the west ad dressed meeting of the congress there and said among other things:
 Fl have just returned from attend auce at the Arizona meeting of the American Institute of Mining En- gineers While there l was asked to speak on the essential difference be- tween that body and the American Mining Congress. l told them that I deemed their body the medical adviser of capital. for their business is to ad- Vise on investments. And the Ameri- can Mining Congress is the spiritual adviser to all interests in mining. We take up the problems that all have in common and try to find a solution for them by advocating needed legislation and needed reforms.
 While in Arizona at the convention ' took occasion to invite to our gather ing J. :. Douglas, the man who dis covered what may possibly be the greatest copper mine in the world, the United Verde Extension.
 And this reminds me of one great topic which is coming before the con
