DISCUSS i.
PAPERS OF INTEREST

Chemists and sugar boilers contin-
ned their sessions yesterday, while il
was an idle day for the mill engineers,
so far as sessions of their fifth an
nual convention go. This morning the
situation will be reversed--and the en-
gineers will meet, while the chemists
and boilers have the morning of. In
the afternoon there will be a demon
stration 10 both bodies of a method
of production of fuel and illuminating
gas from petrol, and visit the coal
docks Of the Intkr,Island Company
later. N#I1 a. r.y., .... ~. *
Four papers were read before the
chemists yesterday and full discussion
followed each. The two papers of the
morning related to agricultural chem
istry, one by p. s. Burgess on the i'm
portance of mold and the otiieT ny +.
T. Dillingham; on the Chemistry of
Soil Formation, u '..'s..
\ The afternoon session listened to q
paper on the Inversion Method of
Walker presented by G. II. Halden,
who approved the method and recon-
mended its adoption, and another,
read also by Mr.. Halden, on "Boiler
House Recovery. SO" =. ..a.F,
Much benefit is being obtained by
the engineers and chemists as q result
of the two meetings, it is generally
agreed, and while the proceedings
themselves are not of such nature as
to appeal especially to the general
public, and are of necessity often very
technical, the results from the meet
ing, when the best suggestions are put
in operation, will rebound to the sugar
industry in much benefit. l..
Tonight there win be an illustrated
lecture on "Dry Rot in Timber" by

Digging and Shooting

General Doyen commanding the Marines in
France, puts it this way "All who would shoot

value OF the entrenching tool General Doyen
points out that soldiers on the firing line must dig

communication continues: .tS3

Sugar Patriotism

1T is regrettabe that the attempt should be made
1 by any interest CONNECTED with the sugar in
dustry to create dssenson within the ranks of the
industry or to cast discredit upon the motives OF
the men directing the work of the food admins
tration, says Facts About Sugar. The men in the
sugar industry who have agreed, at the request of
the food administration, to cut down the profits
that they otherwise might have received in order
that consumers may on their sugar bills have
done so in patriotic response to the demand that
all selfish interests be subordinated to the general
welfare in this time of national emergency Many
Of the producers who have joined in Food Admin
istrator Hoovers prograth for reduction Of prices
will suffer not merely relative loss but an actual
loss on the seasons operations. This seems un-
just but they are doing it in order to present a
united front to the enemy and to make the plan a
success Ii other interests in other industries,
taking a less unselfsh stand, all the more credit
is due the sugar producers for the course they
have followed. 49,.
H The wisdom OF some of the plans adopted by
Mr.. Hoover and his associates with reference to
sugar may be open to question and OF course there
can be no objection to intelligent and fair minded
criticism OF them. But there certainly is no ground
Tor questioning the motives of the men who are
giving their time and the best that is in them,
without hope of reward, to the administration of
the law that congress has enacted. Prominent
Representatives OF the refining industry have been
appointed to the commission which is to carry on
the work OF purchasing sugar for the United States
and it's allies. AS the price paid for sugar,
the amount of the re6ners' margin and the price
OF refined are all to be determined by agreement
between the food administration and hhe various
parties at interest, they will exercise authority
in the fixing Of prices and it is foolish to accuse
them Of conspiracy to depress the price OF sugar
when such course could result in no benefit to
them, even if they were willing to enter into such
n conspiracy of which there is no indication.
We all are, or should be, enlisted in the ma
tonal service in one capacity or another and those
OF us who are aligned in the ranks OF industry
must play our parts in the same spirit as the men
ON the firing line United effort Under the leader
ship Of those who have been appointed to direct
the work OF industrial mobilization is the only
way to accomplish the gigantic task before us.
The Stacker and the obstructionst merely make
the task more difficult.

committee Of the Georgia State AgricuI-
tural society at a meeting here yester-
day discussed at length the proposition
Of a marketing system for Georgia and
decided to call upon Professor A. Rhodes,
of the State College of Agriculture. to
prepare an appeal calling the attention
of the people of the state to the sit

appeal will urge the farmers to grow
more food crops and will stress the need
of a marketing system in the state to
protect the farmers and the consumer.
The committee also named a sub-com-
mittee Of five to enter into a new con-
tract with the Georgia State Fair asso-
citation for the holding OF the annual
state fair under the auspices of the
society. The new contract will cover a
period of ten years.

I AFTER SITE FOR STATION
Officials Said to Be Negotiat-
ing for Valuable Block
in Atlanta

That the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis railroad, in furtherance of its
plan to erect a new passenger station
in Atlanta, has it's eye on the purchase
of the entire block of property bounded
by Pryor street, Alabama street, Cen
trail avenue and the railroad tracks, is
the information obtained by The Jour
nal from a reliable source.
1t is understood that the owners of
the parcels in this block already have
been approached in an indirect way by
representatives of the railroad.
The plan of the road. which recently
closed a fifty-year lease for the West
ern and Atlantic. is said to contemplate
erection of a much larger station, en-
bracing the entire block above named,
and also construction of vjaducts over
the tracks at Pryor street and at Cen

In its contract for the lease of the
Western and Atlantic the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis agreed to ex-
pend not less than 100000 during
