Heads of Some Georgia SOILS
SUCCESSFUL FARMING

The richest Of the bottom lands an
aIyzed contains only 5,ll3 pounds OF
nitrogen. Most of them do not contain
half a. much as this. Observe also that
THE amount of phosphorus acid only
reaches 5.44O pounds in one instance.
The potash content of most of the soils
shown is relatively high as compared
with the content Of nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid. Note that most of these
soils are acid and would require a con-
siderable amount of lime TO correct this
defect. II is generally conceded that it
will take about 81 pounds of nitrogen.
81 pounds of phosphoric acid and ~
pounds of potash to produce a bale of
cotton. including the root, stalk, stem
and leaf. Theoretically, per cent Of
the nitrogen in a given soil, ! per cent
of the phosphoric acid and IS per cent
of the potash occur only under ideal or
perfect conditions which probably would
not pertain on one farm in a thousand
Then, if the amounts of the different
elements indicated were all to become
available i'm the highest degree. the plant
could not hope to assimilate possibly
more than two-thirds of the amount
available. Apply these figures 10 the
soil types mentioned and il is imme-
diateIy apparent that in case of the
cecil clay loan, for instance, only As
rounds of nitrogen and 80 pounds IF
phosphoric acid could become available
under the most favorable circumstances
If only two-thirds Of this becomes avail
able. 50 pounds of nitrogen and p
pounds of phosphoric acid might ne
utilized by a crop of cotton grown on
the land.

new STORY OF HOW
. SABAS Was KILLED
Believed That the Dead For
eigner Had No Rela-
tives in America.

Efforts to locate the relatives OF
Louis Sabas, the foreigner who was
killed at the Baltimore and Ohio pas.
sengere station Saturday night, have
been futile. Sabas last worked at
Wendell and resided at Pennington
but officials at the Wendell mine state
that 1t has been two weeks since he
worked there and that he drew all
his money, and, as far as is known,
he has no relatives in this country.
Railroad officials here deny the
story told the coroner. that Sabas was
struck as he alighted from passeng-
er train while freight train was
passing between the passenger and
the station. They claim Sabas return
ed to this city from Point Marion on
the Monongahela railroad and it was
after having waited in the aBltimore
and Ohio waiting room here for q
while that he wandered onto the tracks
and was run down.
The buuy is at.ll at the Musgrave
morgue, whence it will be buried IL
no word is heard from friends or rel
atives.

fny Aasoclated Presal

LONDON, March 6.-The American
ambassador at Vienna has been hand
ed the reply of the Austrian govern
ment to the American note inquiring
as to the position of the Austrian gov
eminent in regard to unrestricted sub
marine warfare, according to q Wen.
ma dispatch to Reuter-.
The reply declares that neutrals are
responsible for losses they suffer by
entering territory where warlike oper.
atoms are taking place.
The American note, which was dis.
patched to Vienna on February 18, ask
ed specifically whether Austrian as.
surances given following the sinking
Of the Ancona and Persia had been
nullified. The reply says:
THAT whatever attitude the Wash.
ington cabinet may take as to individ-
ual questions raised here the Austro-
Hungarian government is essentially
in accord with the American govern
ment in regard to the protection Of neu-
trails against endangering their 1iveB.r
The memorandum then maintains
that "neutrals subjects have TO bear
themselves all losses they suffer by
entering territory where warlike oper-
atoms are taking place."
After lengthy discussion Of the
British blockade which It declares Is
illegal the memorandum continues:
"The principal that neutrals should
enjoy in war times the advantages Of
the freedom OF the seas refers only to
neutral vessels and not to neutral per-
sons aboard enemy vessels . The re-
ply further contends that belligerents
are entitled to decide for themselves
what measures should be taken against
an enemy in sea traffic and concludes.
"In such cases neutrals have no
legitimate interest and therefore no
other legal claims than that a belliger-
emit informed them in time OF pro-
hibition directed to an enemy so that
they can avoid enthusting their lives
and goods to enemy vessels

Search For Way to Arm American Ships
SURVEY TWO LINES
FOR ROAD ON RIVER
Engineers Want to Save
New Highway From
Sliding Into Stream.

Two prospective routes for the new
Paw Paw district hard surface road
in the section along the river between
Dakota and Rivesville are being sur
veyed by the county engineers and
surveyors. One OF the roads is be-
low the railroad tracks and near the
present road and the other is between
the railroad and the street car track
and much further from the river.
In the last ten years this section Of
road has been very great problem
to the county since the banks of the
river are constantly washing away and
road after road has been built only
to be in few years inundated. In the
light Of this past experience 1t is felt
impracticable to build the new hard
surface road where there Is a possible.
fly that in futur eyears it may be part
of the river bed.
Estimates for the building of the va
rious roads in the district which are
to be improved, are being prepared
by the engineers so that as soon as pos
sible bids for the construction of the
roads may be asked for and let.

CITY CAN'T HELP IN

Will Be Necessary to Get

The recommendation made by the
Ministerial Union to Mayor Bowen
yesterday afternoon that some action
should be taken toward city coopera.
ton with the union and several other
civic organizations in a movement to
drive loan sharks out of Fai8nont was
referred to City Clerk Albert Kecns
this morning. The recommendation
of the ministers was that new city
ordinance be drafted which would linn.
it the activities of the money brokers
and provided reyoking clause to their
licenses.
Such action on the part of the city
is impossible however. even though
their hearty support is with these
leading the fight. Money brokers are
licensed under state licenses which
license ssued for revenue only and
provides no regulatory features. The
city has nothing to do with revoking
of such licenses and can not refuse
to grant one.

EXAMINING ACT OF 1873
President Wilson Anxious to
Be Sure of Ground
When He Acts.
tRy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
President Wilson, it was stated author
itatively today, will do everything pos.
sible to find way to arm American
ships and protect them in other ways
from submarine danger in spite OF the
failure of the Senate to pass the hill
giving him specific power.
A final decision on whether the Pres.
ident can legally arm the ships with.
out specific authorization is expect,
ed shortly.
The opinion expressed during the
Senate debate on the bill that with.
out action by Congress the President
has no right to arm American mer,
chantmen, was taken into careful con.
sideration and the President will not
act until he is certain.
In deciding on the legal status of the
question 1t was learned that the Presi
dent and his advisers are considering
the intent of the old statute passed in
1919 which was cited in the Senate as
prohibiting the arming of merchant.
men for action against armed public
vessels of nations in amity with the
United States.
An extra session of Congress before
July to pass appropriation measures
If for no other purpose seemed today
to be certain.
II the Senate amends its rule so
prompt action can be taken on an
armed neutrality bill an extra session
of Congress may be expected within
the next two or three weeks.
