NOMlNATES SUNDAY
FOR CHAPLAlN-IN.CHIEF

Our new armies are to be raised
by selective CONSUMPTION. This means
that, contrary to our general method
of doing things, we are going to try
to put square pegs into square holes
and round pegs into round holes.
We are going to try to use the great
human wealth of our country to the
best possible advantage in the long
trial of strength with autocracy which
is before us.
To utilize our youths to the best
advantage we shall throw what safe
guards we can about them to protect
them against drunkenness, vice and
disease.
The best safeguard against drum
kenness and vice is a clean mind
There is one man in the country who
has carried the message of the clean
mind home to more thousands than
any other. Why not. in accordance
with the true principles of selective
CONSUMPTION, draft this mar for SER
vice in our training camps or behind
our lines in France.
Why not commission the Rev. Will
liam A. Sunday a chaplain in the
army?
We do not know Mr.. Sundays
plans for the future, but we are in
clined to believe and to hope that if
the government should open to him
an opportunity to preach clean living
and clean thinking to the soldiers of
his country the only way to con
script" him for such service would be
to catch him before he had a chance
to enlist.
Why not Major Sunday, chaplain
general to the American forces?-

Better Farming in the South
WILLIAMSON PLAN OF CORN CULTURE


plants should now be from twelve to
eighteen inches high.
Put half your fertilizer y(this being
the nrst used at ALL in the old sweep
furrow on both sides of every other
middle and cover by breaking out this
middle with turn pillow. About one
week later treat the other middle the
same way. Within a few days side
corn in first middle with si~xteenth-inch
sweep. Put all your nitrate Of soda
in this furrow. IL less than $50
pounds. II more, use one-half of it.
Cover with one furrow of turn pillow,
then SOW peas in this middle broad
cast at the rate of at least one bushel
to acre, and finish breaking out.
I'm 4 few days side corn in other
middle with same sweep, put balance
of nitrate Of soda in this furrow, il it
has been divided, cover with turn
pillow, SOW peas, and break out. This
lays by your crop with a good bed and
plenty of dirt around your stalk. This
should be from June 10th to goth, I'M
less the season Is very late, and corn
should be hardly punching for tassel.
Lay by early. More corn is ruined
by late plcwing han by lack Of plow-
ing. This is when the ear is hurt.
THE stalks thus raised are very
small, and do not require anything
like the moisture even in proportion
to size than is necessary for large,
sappy stalks. They may, therefore, be
left thicker in the row. Large stalks
can not make large yields except with
extremely favorable seasons, for they
cannot stand q lack Of moisture. Corn
raised by this method should not be
over seven feet high, and the a
should be near the ground"
For Piedmont Section.
For the Piedmont section the VII.
hanson Plan can not be closely fol-
lowed but must be modified. Half of
the fertilizer should be applied before
planting. The other half should be
applied not later than when corn is
knee high. The nitrate of soda should
then be applied when the corn is waist
high.
Raise Corn AZ VA Measure
In response to the call for food SUP
plies in view of wal conditions, the
farmer should plant as large
a crop Of corn as possible. He should
literally and cultivate thor
oughly so that maximum crops may
be produced. 1t is recommended that
from 500 to 500 pounds Of fertilizer be
applied on Piedmont soils and from
500 to 1000 to coastal plain soils.

COUNTRY MUST WORK OUT
ECONOMIC PROGRAMME

The controversy over the price of
steel for the shipbuilding programme
involves some extremely tangled
questions of economic policy. Steel
plates at $95 a ton are no doubt dear
from the point of view of cost. The
steel producers would make large
profits out of the government if such
figures were accepted. At the same
time it must be borne in mind that
private ship builders, here and abroad
are paying more than sos. They are
glad to get the steel at any price.
If the steel producers are making too
much money out of the government.
they are also making too much money
out of the private ship builders. But
they are securing equivalent profits
from orders for cars, rails, structural
shapes, machinery and what not. And
we need some of these things almost
as badly as ships. 1t seems clear
that we shall soon be compelled to
work out a consistent policy for the
determination of the price of every
thing that directly or indirectly serves
what may properly be defined as a ma
tional need. Cost plus a fair profit
may be a reasonable basis for ship
building materials. But if the prin-
ciple is applied in this instance to the
steel industry, it ought to be applied
much more generally.-The New Re-
public.

CATASTROPHE ON STEAMER
AT MILWAUKEE
Continued from First Page)

Eatman and Baker were on the upper
deck and very near each other, how
ever, Miss Baker saw the tank coming
and moved; evidently Miss Eatman
did not see the falling tank and sat
still. 1t all occurred quickly. As
soon as the crash came, that part of
the steamer was roped off and officers
refused to allow any outsider to en-
ter, so Eva Eatman's fate was not
definitely known until about three
hours later when her body was iden-
tilted in the morgue. From the
broken bones, it is evident that death
was instantaneous. She was most
probably not struck by the tank but
by broken pieces of the boat crashed
in by the tank.
1t is hard to understand how an ac-
cident of that kind could have &C.
Cured without the grossest careless
ness by somebody, and the boat COM
pany will no doubt be called to a
strict account for the terrible trag-
edy.

]. N. HARPER,

come to the arm Service Bureau
about methods Of corr culture it is
considered advisable to recommend the
Williamson method to farmers in the
coastal region or those who have sandy
loan soils. The following is an out.
line of the method in Mr.. Williamson's
own words:
Break the land broadcast during the
winter, using a two horse pillow or,
better, a disc pillow. Bed with turn.
plow six-foot rows, leaving a fiveinch
balk. When ready to plant, break
this out with a scooter. Plow deeply
in the bottom of this furrow, using a
Dixie with wing taken off. Ridge then
on this furrow with same plow still
going deep. Run the corr planter on
this ridge. dropping one grain every
nve or six inches.
Plant early. as o o as frost dan.
ger is past. Early planting is espe-
cially needful on very rich lands
where stalks can not otherwise be
kept from growing too large.
Give the first working with q har-
row or any pillow that will not cover
the plant. For second working use
ten or twelve inch sweep. Corn should
not be worked again until the growth
has been so retarded, and the stalk
80 hardened that it will never grow
too large. This Is the most difficult
point in the whole process. Expert
once and judgment are required to
know Just how much the stalk should

you may begin to make the ear. The

COL. BLEDSOE'S WATER MILL.

Col. o. F. Bledsoe's water mill on
his beautiful farm just west of town
carries one back to the days when
there were no steam engines or cleo
tricity and when miles and miles were
traversed in order to have milling
done" And while the water mill
has been in a great measure super
coded by the steam engine and by
electricity for the reason that is is
only in rare instances that a suitable
water mill site can be found, yet the
superiority of the water mill is we'll
recognized. Outside of its certain
ty of operation, of it's being ever
ready to go, it the important item of
the cost of operation.
The mill Col. Bledsoe has erected
is a tribute to his engineering ability.
Then, too, the Colonel is to be COM
mended for the example he has set
he is to be commended for showing
the water possibilities right at our
door. There can be no doubt that
water power could be utilized right
near Grenada to operate the power
plant and indeed every piece of ma
chinery in the town.
Col. Bledsoe has a beautiful mill
pond. He has the mill house and
the grist mill, all of which can be
started on a few minutes notice. and
II people are now as they used to be,
they would much prefer meal ground
at water mills than otherwise.
