for the President, will be the dominant
issue of the campaign for the United

enters the race against Thomas W.

1t is confidently expected by the

that he will have the support OF Presl-
dent Wilson, if he decides to make the
race. Since President Wilson entered
the white house, Mr.. Harris has peeh

President Wilson to membership on
later being made chairman OF tha'

friend and adviser of President Wilson
since the beginning of the preset ad-
ministration, and Seator HardWack
having distinguished himself as the
enemy of the president, notwithstand-

GERMAN LINE
IN FLANDERS
IS TREMBLING
REASON WHY THE GERMANS ARE
FIGHTING so DESPERATELY
BRITISH WITHSTAND ALL COUN-
TER ATTACKS

LONDON, Oct. 2.-Although German
military writer's admit that the Ger
mans can hardly regain the initiative
On the western front, the Germans are
doing their utmost to keep the Brit
ish from enjoying full advantages of
the recent gains in Flanders.
They are also launching attack af-
ter alta 2ls to disarrange the French
around verdun. The same tactics were
used before the British drive last week
Iut failed then. 1t is too early to as
certain what significance these re-
poated attacks have, but General Haig
reports that five violent attacks by
Germans all resulted in failure.
With the map showing the entire
German line in Flanders hanging in the
balance, no surprise is expressed that
the Germans are fighting so desperate
ly to hold Lille, Ostend and the rail
roads connecting those points.

THIS FIGHT WILL
REACH CONGRESS
MASONS AND OTHER FRATERNAL
ORDERS TO APPEAL TO con-
GRESS FOR EQUAL RIGHTS WITH
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 2.-The entire
Masonic order of the United States
will appeal to congress again Secre-
tarv of War Bakers ruling that no Sc
cret order except the nights of Colum-
bus shall have the privilege of erecting
lodge rooms at the national canton
ments. If congress fails to enact such
legislation as will forever bar a repe~
tition of such outrageous discrimina-
tion." the Masons will appeal to the
country at large, and the question will
become an issue in the next presiden-
tial campaign.
These facts became known here
when Grand Master Frank 0. Mills, of
Georgia, made public correspondence
between Masonic officials and the war
department, in which Secretary Baker
personally upheld the embargo against
Protestant orders.
The campaign to have the secretary S
ruling set aside will begin when the
Georgia Grand lodge meets IN about
thirty days. It is very probable that
the aid of other secret orders, sucn as
tie nights Of Pythias, Red Men, Wood
men and Odd Fellows will be invoked.

THIS FARMER CLEARED
$4,000 on HIS PLACE
IN GWINNETT COUNTY

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga, Oct. g.
Here is another story to add to the
rapidly growing string of stories of
Georgia farmers successes in the
good year 1917.
D. E. Elrod, who rents small
place near Lawrenceville, GwinnetC
county, with one helper and one horse
this year has cleared nearly $4,000.
Eighteen bales of cotton netted him
$4,000; 100 bushels of peas, $500; 200
bushels of corn, $3.50; 5000 bundles Of
fodder. $75; syrup, $1O0, and sweet
potatoes, $75. Total $3.50
To make this crop his expenses
we're: Rent, $14O; helpers wages,
$3.50 He had his seed from last year
and included them in his expenses at
last years prices.
This does not include what Mr..
Elrod made from the sale of butter,
eggs and vegetables and what he and
his wife consumed on their own table.
This and the food they raised them
selves and will put up for the winter
will enable the Elrods to bank nearly
all of their proceeds from the farm.

An inspiring story of how the boil
weevil was fought and conquered was
related in Americus this morning by
X. T. Mathews, who farms on the edge
of Sumter county. two and a half
miles from Smithville. Mr. Mathews
is we'll known in Americus and high
ly esteemed here.
The net result Of his story is that
on IS acres planted in cotton he will
make 39 bales, in spite of the fact that
the boil weevils were on his farm by
the thousands and thousands.
other farmers adjoining Mr. Ma
thews. are making only bale to every
three acres.
Messrs. w. S. Boyett, county farm
demonstrator, and J. c. oliver, district
agricultural agent, assisted Mr.. Ma
thems in this fight, giving him prae-
teal advice and aid.
Mr. Mathews tells how he beat the
weevil in these words:
beginning early last fall destroy
ed the cotton stalks. plowed under
half of them, and the other half l cut
down with a stalk cutter, and raked
them up and burned them, | also
burned all rubbish and hedges.
II BEGAN planting early and finished
on the third of April. l used on 30
acres only $50 pounds of twelve-two
fertilizer and 40 pounds OF soda. Part
of my land had been planted in vel
vet beans and peanuts the year before,
and on some of that used manure.

Aure, have made more than bale to

are at least six more bales to be

Although my neighbors had weevils

women and children to pick squares
for me on the entire 80 acres, and in
this way | got rid of the weevil. On
one stalk that | myself picked thirty
grubs there is magnificent produc-
ton of cotton. had the weevils pick
ed twice a week until August 10, and
the cost averaged three dollars an
acre.
Il am convinced as the result of my
efforts that the boil weevil can be
beat, and that on good land, such as
we have in this section, if proper fer
tilizer methods are employed, bale
to the acre can be made. But it takes
work, and plenty of it, and it must be
done both early and late. 1t must
start in the fall, just as soon as the
crop is gathered
Associated with Mr.. Mathews is his
brother, |. n. Mathews.
Messrs. Boyett and oliver are very
proud of the showing made by MIR. Ma
thews. They state that he followed
their advice implicitly, something that
not all of the farmers would do.

ton and finds that the actual food
value of pure velvet bean meal is
greater than that of cotton seed meal.
This has no reference to its value as
fertilizer. This test as to food value
shows that in calculating the protein.
carbohydrate and fat contents the vel
vet bean meal yields 150,5 calories
to the 100 pounds, whereas, ia cotton
seed meal only yields 140, $50 calories
to the 100 pounds 1t is further shown
that velvet bean meal made from the
bean and the pod mixed yields 1892
calories to the 100 pounds. This is
practically the same as 10 cottonseed
meal, which is selling ri2ht around
$44 per ton 1t must also be borne
in mind that the manufacturing ex
pense on velvet bean meal is nowhere
near as much as that on cotton seed
meal
The farmers Of the state should fig
ure over this carefully before enter
ing into future contracts for supplying
velvet beans
The state Market Bureau has Just
succeeded in securing from the State
Railroad Commission a re-adjustment
of the freight on sweet potatoes, which
means in many instances a material
reduction Formerly the rate on
sweet potatoes shipped in boxes and
crates has been just double what it
was in barrels and bags, and there
was no good reason for it. The com
mission has ordered that. effective Oc-
tober /, sweet potatoes in boxes and
crates shall take the same rate as
those in bags and barrels. Thus, how
ever packed, all sweet potatoes shipped
in Georgia this fall, will be handled at
the lower rate.
