Children's Day at Trinity Church.

An angel paused in his onward flight
With a seed of love, of truth and light
And cried: o where shall this seed
be sown,
That it WELD most fruit when fully
grown?'
The Saviour heard, and he said as he
smiled:
Plant it for me in the heart of a
child
Our Savious loves little children so
dearly. and. as he looks down into a
precious little heart, he truly sees
the responsiveness of it. Let e
truth fasten and grip a child and he
will then be your teacher. How true
it is that little child shall lead
them''-that means you and me into
seeing the truth and into desire to
do our part towards the worlds con-
tribution.
We lave a Sunday-school in our
church which we do honestly feel
that We can and ought to be Justly
proud Of We are fortunate in hav-
ing a number of capable, willing
workers and many young people and
children who seem to love the church
school. 4 number of interesting pro-
srammes are presented from time to
time. but no day seems to be so
great as Childrens S day. The fathers
and the mothers and others and still
others come to the church for Chill
dren's day.
The training Of the children of the
primary department was in charge
of Mrs. Glenn Cope, Mrs. Rowell and
Miss Ruth Anderson. These ladies
deserve praise and thanks for pains
taking labor and for the lessons sent
home to our hearts. Miss FRANKIE
Folk assisted Mrs. Glenn Cope with
the music. The decorations though
simple we're appropriate and pretty.
Flags. ferns, palms and cut flowers
were used. Mrs. Glenn Cope, Miss
Alma Black, Mr.. w c. Duncan and
Mr.. Henry Horton did the decorat-
ing.

LENDS RUSSIA 500, 100000
Sum to Be Spent in United States In

Washinston, Nay 1e.-The United
States today loaned Russia $780,

Postmaster knight says there has
been considerable misunderstanding
in regard to the provisions of the
town delivery service. a good many
patrons of the service have failed to
provide their residences with any
sort of mail receptacle, and some of
them are being deprived of mail on
this account. Mr.. Knight asks that
publication be given to the follow

Some of the people of the town
have evidently misunderstood the
requirements for village delivery ser
vice. especially in the matter of pro-
viding mail receptacles at their resi-

has not provided receptacle. Busi-
ness houses, however, need not be re-
quired to provide receptacles if they
are open and some one at hand au-

1t will be seen from the above
paragraph that it is not optional with
the postmaster. The requirement is
very clear on this matter, and would

dereliction of duty if l permitted mail

When the service was first start

KING-PRIESTER

Z The marriage of Miss Elizabeth
King, of this city, and Mr.. Robert T.
Priester, of Lake Monroe, Fla, was a
pretty event of Tuesday morning,
Feb. TO- taking place at 10 o'clock
at the home of the groom's aunt, Mrs.
J.. H. Burton, in Jacksonville, Fla.
Rev. w. A. Hobson officiated.
Standing with the bride and groom
were Miss Lucybelle King, sister of
the bride, and Mr.. A. G., Purton.
The bride wore becoming travel
ing suit of dark blue gabardine with
honey-gold collar and cuffs. She
wore a smart little spring hat of blue
and gold, and her flowers were a cor
sage bouquet of white roses and lilies
of the valley
Immediately after the ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. Priester left for Lake
Monroe, Fla, where they will make
their home for the present.

GOV. HARRIS WAITING ON
CONGRESS BEFORE ACTING

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 21-That Govern
or Harris will call an extra session
of the Georgia legislature for action
on bone dry liquor bills, unless the
United States Congress should pass
the Reed amendment to the post of
flee appropriation bill, which amend
ment prohibits the shipment of liquor
into dry states, is now a certainty.
A delegation of citizens who advo-
cate a special session were informed
yesterday afternoon by the governor
that he has made up his mind tots
sue the call in the event the Reed
amendment fails to become a federal
law, whereas if the amendment should
pass the senate and the house and be
signed by the president he would not
consider an extra session necessary.
The governor has reached his con-
clusion as the result of satisfactory
showing made to him that the con-
tinued shipment of liquor into the
state. in spite of the prohibition laws
already in force which limit the midi
vidual supply to two quarts a month.
have created very serious farm la
Dor situation in the rural districts.
1t has been shown to the governor
that the very large exodus of negroes
to northern states has made it AL the
more necessary for the farmers to be
able to rely upon the balance who are
left for work in the fields. and that
if large quantities of liquor continue
to be shipped into the state the farm
ers will have difficulty in making
this years cotton anG other crops.
! 1t is probable that the governor ir
the event of an extra session. will in.
clude provision in his call for action
to meet the deficiency in the Confed-
crate pension fund, which deficiency
amounts to $4,000 in round numbers

phoric acid A 40 bushel crop
OF corn will remove in the grain, stalk

gen, 81 pounds of potash and "a pounds

straw about 35 pounds of nitrogen,
Al pounds of potash and 16 pounds OF
phosphoric acid. If, however, stalks,
bolls, straw, ETC., are plowed under,
some of the plant food will be return
ed to the soil
Cotton Fertilizer Problem
With the present price of cotton and
other farm products, it will pay the
farmer to give more attention this
Spring to the problems of soil bull !
ing and to the intelligent use of fer
tilizers than ever before Some of
the best farmers of the South have
adopted the plan of returning to the
soil in fertilizers, the money received
from all or part of their cottonseed.
This is a good plan and should be
more generally adopted.
Enough Plant Food for Best Yields
1t takes from 800 pounds to 400
pounds Of fertilizer to make a good
weed in cotton, or good stalk in
corn, and unless amounts above these
are used, full returns cannot be ex-
pected because large amounts must be
applied to produce the fruit and the
grain.
The amount of fertilizer that can
be used profitably will vary with the
different soil types, seasons and with
the different crops grown. The most
important factor, however, governing
the amount of fertilizer that can be
used with profit is the price of the
article produced. At the present price
of cotton, it will pay to use on most
of the soil types of the South larger
amounts of fertilizer than heretofore.
To Meet Boil WeeviI Situation
When grown under boil weevil con-
ditions, cotton should be literally fer
tilted and this fertilizer should con-
tain a large percentage of phosphoric
acid, which ingredient hastens it's ma
turity. A fertilizer containing an am
Pile supply of ammonia should also be
used to start the plant off quickly in
its growth. The farmer must ever
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1917-02-21

bear in mind that the best way he can
fight the boil weevil is to force his
cotton to quick growth and to an
early maturity. Many farmers in the
boil weevil district, are finding that
peanuts and soy beans are splendid
substitutes for cotton. Unless these
crops are well fortified, however, with
the fertilizer carrying high percentage
of phosphate, good yields cannot be
expected.
How to Tell What Is Necessary
The farmer can oftentimes deter
mine the element most needed in his
fertilizer by noting the manner of
growth of cotton on his different soil
types. When the growth is slow and
the plants have yellow, unhealthy
look, nitrogen Tor ammonia) should be
applied in rather large amounts. If,
however, the plants look vigorous, but
are not fruiting well, phosphoric acid
should be used literally.
Generally speaking, for poor soils, the
most important element of fertilizer
is nitrogen, and the next most import
ant is PHOSPHORUS. Therefore, for
poor soils we would recommend under
present war conditions, which makes
potash scarce, a fertilizer for cotton
and corn ana.yzing about 8 per cent
available phosphoric acid and 3 per
cent ammonia and per cent potash
For peanuts II per cent phosphoric
acid, 2 per cent ammonia and per
cent potash. For fertile soils we would
recommend for cotton and corn, fer
tlizer Analysing II per cent available
phoSph -ric acid, 2 per cent ammonia
aud per cent potash, and for peanuts,
fertilizer Analysing IL per cent phos-
phoric acid, l IL per cent ammonia
and 2 per cent potash. For the sandy
loan soils of the coastal plain, pot
ash is the most essential and for to-
bacco and truck crops must be applied
in liberal amounts.
The reason that nitrogen or ammo
mia is so necessary an element for prac-
tically all soils is because the nitratos
are soluble in water, and are, there
fore, constantly teaching out of the
land. The farmers should try to store
up as much nitrogen in the soil as
possible by growing such crops as
beans, peas, clover, vetches, etc, which
plants add nitrogen to the soil from
the atmosphere. Practically all soils
of the South are well adapted to the
growing of these legumes.
If, however, crops are grown in ro-
tation with legumes, it will still be
necessary to use commercial forms Of
nitrogen to obtain the best results.
While nitrogen is the main element of
fertilizer, on poor land phosphoric
acid is the most essential and in prac-
tically all Of the tests that have been
made in the South, better results have
been obtained with soluble phosphoric
acid than with finely ground phosphate
rocks or floats.
