A Swiss paper, the Geneva Journal,
says of Americas entry into the war;
Germany sees another adversary
ranged against her, the great country
of 100,O0O,OOO inhabitants whose
wealth is immense, whose resources
are inexhaustible and who will bring
into the war its inevitable genius and
the steadfastness and energy of its
invincible people. 1t is not only for its
individual right; it is for entire hui
manity that America draws the
sword"

manufacturing concerns, railroad cor

sured the government that their cor
porations and their individual servic-
es are at the disposal of the govern
ment. There is little noise or loud
talk, but everywhere a calm and in.
flexible purpose is evident And this
spirit is not confined to Big business
alone. Little business marches right
up at the front, labor leaders are

their organizations, farmers are offer.
ing both men and foodstuffs, and wo.
men are banding together by the hun.

the people on to greater fervcr and
patriotism. American people are be-
ing solidified as they have never been

And they are ready to meet whatever

Tobacco stems contain about to l-2
per cent nitrogen, to per cent phos-
phoric acid, and to per cent potash.
This material, of course, is a by-prOd-
uct from tobacco factories and being of
a vegetable origin readily undergoes the
composition so that the fertilizing con-
stituents il contains become available
in a relatively short time. 1t can be

low I'm potash. but in these strenuous
times when this desirable and essential
element is so costly and difficult %

with high favor as a source of potash
There is no reason why potash derived

VALUE OF TOBACCO
STEMS.

j. e. B., Martin. Ga, write: What is
the value of tobacco stems? Some Of the
guano factories are using them as source
OF potash. Is II plant food?
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1917-03-23

The deiecta from pigeons is rich in
plant food, a ton of this material con-
tanning about 35:2 pounds of nitrogen.
35.6 pounds phoSphoric acid, and 20
pounds of potash. This plant food is
quickly available and, and therefore, is
finely adapted for use in the production
of truck or garden crops which must
be grown rapidly in order to secure the
best results and the most desirable quail
ity as well. 1t is not good practice,
however, to mix lime with the pigeon
manue. When this is done ammonia is
likely to be driven off and hence the
plant food content of the manure, in so
far as this particular element is con-
cerned. is lessened. We suggest that IN
the future you do not use lime on ac-
count of the loss of nitrogen it is likely
to cause.
II possessed of considerable QUAINT
ty of this material we would use it at
the rate of 1000 pounds and upward
per acre. 1t might even be used at the
rate of a ton per acre on both gardens
and lawns. 1t is best to scatter the
manure over the lawn Immediately and
let it lie. The rains will wash 1t In
quickly and if there is any offensive odor
ii will very quickly disappear. In the
garden we would scatter ii over the
surface of the ground and rake. harrow
or pillow IL in to a depth Of a few inches.
II can. of course, be put und4' the drill
row. In that event the drills must be
made quite deep and il is generally the
best practice to put a little earth in the
furrow into which the manure has been
scattered before planting the seed.

severely wounded in the arm. A Rus
sian infantry division refused TO night
and had begun to retreat. The Rus
sian artillery, furious at this deser-

guns and the retiring soldiers and
succeeded In stopping the fratricidal
slaughter, but was wounded in the

GUNFIRE DELUGE
FAILS TO BREAK
/ LINES Of PETA|N

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD. July 2T.-Two hundred
and fifty guns were massed over the
three-mile front on which the Ger
man crown prince last night tried for
the seventh successive night to wrest
ground from French lines on the
Chemin des Danes. 1t was probably
the most concentrated. violent assault
OF all the seven days lighting the
French have wfthstood.
Eleven German sausage balloons
were sent aloft for artillery range
work. and German guns massed only
a few hundred feet apart on the three
mile front poured an inferno OF fre
on the French troops. The crown
princes plan OF strategy this time
was suddenly TO transfer his attack
west OF that town.
The three-kilometer (two-mile) con-
centrated attack, however, won moth
ing more for the Germans thau4 the
previous six days battle over the FIVE
kilometer front.
Between Chevreaux and Hurtebise
today the French had regained all
the positions lost during the FIRST few
days OF the lighting. They held com
pletely the plateaus OF Craonne and
Californie and the Classmates. At
come points they had even extended
their lines beyond the original posi-
lions.
Supporting the belief OF tremendous
losses inflicted on the attacking
troops, II became known today that
in Tuesdays attack alone the Prus-
sian regiments lost half Of their ef.
fectives in a few hours.
