ROOT EVOKES ENTHUSIASM
IN ADDRESSES At MOSCOW
American Mission for First
Time Meets Russian Work.
men and Soldiers

MOSCOW, Friday, June 22.-The
American commission headed by Elihu
Root today for the first time since their
arrival in Russia. made the formal ac-
quaintance of the representatives of the
workmen and soldiers. Conferences were
held with the Moscow leaders of all
the political and industrial factions COM
monty grouped under the term pro-
letariat. Within few hours of the
arrival of the commission Mr.. Root had
delivered two stirring addresses. the
first to the associated committees of
Moscow and the second to the munich
pal duma which gathered in special ses-
sion to greet the Americans.
In both meetings Mr.. Root was warm
ly received and his repeated declara-
tions that America had faith in Russias
ability and determination to wage to the
end the war of democracy against Ger
man militarism, brought an immediate
response from all the factions repre-
scented to the effect that Russia would
not lay down her arms while German
autocracy or any other obstacle i'm
perilled the continued existence and
safety of the newly-won freedom OF
the Russian people.
Perhaps the most dramatic and
significant episode of the day occurred
when a common soldier, who is presi-
dent of the Moscow soldiers deputies IN
the municipal duma, rose In response
to Mr.. Roots appeal to Russia and
in ringing tones said they would do
their duty. In answer to Mr.. Roots
declaration of confidence in the Rus
sian character and people and in his
conclusion that people who were Will
ing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands
of men for the emperor would be will
ing to make even greater sacrifices for
nationality and liberty, the soldier said:
1--WE have had a history of sorrow;
yet we have derived enough strength
out of oppression to gain our liberty.
How much more strength will we derive
from that liberty to carry cur purpose
through to a successful end"
The soldiers address evoked~ wild APP
plause.
One of the most favorable features
of the situation on the front is the for
nation of "storming battalions" which
are newly created army units composed
of soldiers who favor a policy of active
fighting. Soldiers who wish to fight
are transferred to battalions composed
entirely of men holding this view.
These men receive red and black arm
bands to distinguish them from shirk-
ers. Their function is to lead in at
lacks.
The movement started in the extreme
south wing of the army, but now there
are storming battalions everywhere.

been with the Central Army since the
beginning of the war and is now in

FOLLOWING SPRING RYE WITH
IEGITMES

CowpeaS should do well after rye,
provided you can get them into the
soil promptly and conserve enough mois-
ture to enable you to secure a good
stand. We have had quite as good re-
suits on the college farm by disking in
cowpeas I'm a favorable season as from
blowing the land and working II up be-
fore planting this crop. The method
of procedure would, OF course. be de-
termined largely by seasonal conditions.
With the ground so dry we do not think
there is much prospect of getting a
stand of peas unless you work the soil
and prepare a good seed bed. For both
cOwpeas and white peas we would like
to fertilize under existing conditions,
say with 300 pounds Of acid phosphate
per acre. For the acre to be devoted
to potatoes we would use equal parts Of
cotton seed meal and acid phosphate
at the rate of 500 pounds per acre The
acre Of land intended for alfalfa would
in our Judgment. be better prepared
were you TO devote it to cowpeas and
turn the peas under, say about the list
or 18th of September We would put
two tons OF lime on the land now, then
pillow and seed to cowpeas, using 800

There seems to be at the present time

sfderation- The vining habit will also

pounds of acid phosphate. About the
time indicated we would pillow down the
cowpeas and Immediately roll and har-
row the land and put on at least two
tons more of lime. This should be har-
rowed in and the land allowed to stand
until October LIST. Then you should Sc
cure alfalfa seed, which should be care
fully cleaned. Inoculate it and seed 1t
about October 1st, covering it with
brush harrow. Before planting we would
put on equal parts of cotton seed meal
and acid phosphate at the rate of 500
pounds per acre. If you do not wish to
use cotton seed meal any other carrier of
nitrogen may be substituted therefor,
which you can purchase at the same
relative cost per pound of available
plant food. In our experience up to
the present time four tons of lime has
proven about the right amount to use
under alfalfa. We think it all right to
put a ton per acre on the first and Sec
ond year after planting and harrow into
the soil. There is no special objection,
however, to using 500 pounds per acre,
provided you find you are in position to
make as heavy an application as this.

A GOOD TOP DRESSING FOR LATE
COTTON.
year a cotton fertilizer composed Of 1,200
pounds of 16 per cent acid and 500 pounds
of sheep manure, but this mixture is not
having the desired effect, and the
cotton is from three to four weeks late,
thinking Of applying a top dresser.
Would you suggest top dresser running
6-b-4, the ammonia being composed Of meal
or soda or do you think it advisable to
apply nitrate Of soda or sulphate Of am
mOna straight?
Our experience would lead us to feel
that it would be best in your situation
to use either sulphate of ammonia or
nitrate Of soda as a top or side appli-
cation for your cotton. IF you use nj
trate Of soda apply it at the rate of 100
pounds per acre. 1t is best put on after
a rain. rather than just before one. This
material as you know, is quickly dis
solved by the soil moisture and the nj
trogen 1t contains is readily assimilated
by the growing crop. In the case of sui
phate of ammonia, it is probably best
to apply this between the rows and
cover lightly as you would i'm cultivat-
ing the crop. 1t is a good plan, there
fore, to put on the sulphate of ammo
MIA just before you intend to work the
crop. We find nitrogen to be the most
efficient element in our Georgia soils
and we have gotten a larger response
from the use of heterogeneous carriers as
a rule than from any other single ele-
ment.
We have no doubt that a complete
fertilizer would be valuable on land
of the character described in your let
ter. but we are inclined to think that
at this season Of the year it is better to
rely on nitrogen for the stimulation
and forcing forward of your crop than
on a complete fertilization.

A correspondent from Greenwood
speaking OF the meeting held there
says il Congressman Dominick had
been there he would have been con-
vinced that the people of that section
are satisfied of the righteousness OF
the war. He might not have been
convinced of the righteousness OF the
war, but we are sure that now that
this country is in war he will do as
much as any other citizen to defend
the country and to uphold the hands
of the president All of us will do
that now. The time for argument has
passed. 1t is like the boy spoken OF
by Congressman Kitchen. He die
all he could to keep his father Out
of the fight but once he went in he
shucked off his coat and gave the
enemy the best that was in him. That
is what all of us who were opposed
to war will do And We will be founo
doing it as vigorously as those Wno
we're clamoring for war. And While
We have had no talk with Congress-
man Dominick We are sure the coun-
try and the president will have no
stauncher supporter than Mr.. Dom1h-
ick.
