ADMIRAL JELLICO
Is FIRST SEA LORD
SUCCEEDS ADMIRAL SIR HENRY
B. JACKSON AS HEAD OF
BRITISH NAVY.

London.-Rear Admiral Sir John r.
JelIieo. commander of the British
fleet was appointed first sea lord of
the admiralty, being succeeded in
command of the grand fleet by Vice
Admiral Sir David Beatty who com
manded the British battle squadron
in the Jutland naval battle.
Admiral Sir Henry b Jackson, the
present first sea, lord. has been APP
pointed president Of the Royal Naval
College at Greenwich
The announcement of the change in
command Of the British grand fleet
was made in the House of Lords by
\. J. Bafour, first lord of the ad-
miralty Mr. Balfour said there would
be consequential changes also in the
board Of the admiralty.
On being asked whether the
changes in the admiralty meant other
changes in high commands, Mr. Bal
four replied that undoubtedly there
would be changes which would be an
nounced in the ordinary course.
In being appointed first sea lord.
Admiral Jellicoe succeeds Admiral Sir
Henry Bradwardine Jackson, who
had held that post at the admiralty
since May, 1916, when he took the
place vacated by Lord Fisher.
The vital changes in the manage
ment of the navy announced will be
greeted enthusiastically by the coun-
try They were not unexpected, as
recently there has been demand for
an infusion of new life on the board
of the sea lords at Whitehall. The
case as presented by the critics was
that none of the sea lords had had
active service afioat during this war;
that more than two years of warfare
had brought about radical changes in
methods, and that the active direction
of the fleets by the admiralty should
be IN the hands OF officers who had
participated in and worked out the
latest style OF operations.

FRUIT RELATION

U. OF A. CHEMIST SHOWS THE

Fayetteville
Prof J. B. Rather, chemist to the
department of agriculture of the Uni
Versity of Arkansas, has completed a
number of valuable experiments with
reference 10 the relation OF fruit grow
ing to soil fertility. Professor Ratb-
ers findings. in part, are as follows
THE problems of soil fertility, when
considered in the light of a specific
crop, are largely resolved into two
questions, first how much of the prin-
cipal plant food elements are taken
from the soil by the crop, and second
how much of the plant food taken up
is permanently removed from the soil,
in other words, what are the losses IN
soil fertility resulting from the growth
Of the crop An answer to the first
question should aid in the selection of
specific fertilizer for the crop, while
an answer to the second question
should form a basis on which 10 plan

as they are large enough to occupy a
considerable portion of the land, de-
mand large quantities OF plant food
each year AS the trees grow to ma
turity the soil is called upon to fur
nish an increased amount of plant
food each year until a maximum Is
reached. The maximum annual con-
sumption of the mature trees becomes
as 1t is vigorous and bearing fruit.
The plant food taken up by the ma
ture tree is largely used for the pro
duetion Of foliage and fruit only re-
latiyely small quantity being used for
the production of new growth A 500
bushel crop of apples contains about
one=third as much nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid as a 50bushel crop of corn.
The apple crop contains several times
as much potash as the corn crop
However. most orchard soils contain
several times as much potash as nj
trogen and phosphorus. The Excess
sive demand for potash by both apple
and peach trees explains why potash
fertilizers frequently prove valuable
on archard soils naturally low in this
element

these experiments in detail, will be

BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL
PRESS BILL IN THE COMING
LEGISLATURE.
BILL Is BEING PREPARED
Friends of Or. Brough Say He Will
Devote More Attention to Discussion
of Educational Matters in His AID
dress Than Any Other Governor.
Little Rock


The state board of education will re-
new its efforts during the coming Leg
islature to pass the bill appropriating
$4,000 to aid the high schools of the
state. Four years ago the Legislature,
by practically a unanimous vote, gave
the high schools that amount of
money, which was expended under the
direction and supervision of the board.
II caused much dissatisfaction among
the rural school districts, and the last
Legislature defeated a similar meas
ure. Several senators who were mem
bers of the last State Senate and will
occupy seats in the coming Legisla-
ture as holdovers. voted against the
proposition two years ago, and say
they are still opposed to II. They con-
tend that the money should be distrlb-
uted among the rural schools of the
state. \ number of the most promf-
nent educators in Arkansas, however,
will make every effort to secure the
passage of the bill by the coming Leg
islature Gov. Brough it is said, will
recommend its passage in his inaugur-
al address Friends of Gov Brough

the discussion of educational matters
