TO BOND ISSUE

After hearing detaiIsf explana-
ton by Harry Murray. Superintendent
OF the water aI4i sewS department,
OF the purposes 3nd NEEDS OF the pro-
posed water and IseYer bond issue Of
$4,000, where thf mains should be
laid, how the nGey is to be spent,
followed by discussion as to wheth-
er the present plans fitted into COM
prehensive plan for the future. the
members of the Chamber of Commerce
at a special meeting Wednesday af-
ternoon went on record as indorsing
the proposed issue. ......-.
There was considerable haggling
over minor details resulting in an
appeal by w. r. Harrington for the
chamber TO make a progressive move.
He said, For years we have been
sitting down doing practically nothing.
We shall have to make q move and
now Is the time 10. do ii. | consider
that the mistake of inaction is worse
than a mistake made by action. 1t
will be most unfortunate IL the issue
is tied up because we do not trust
each other. We must place our con-
fidenee In some one. Murray has told
us that his plan fits into a compre-
hensiye scheme for the future and |
believe we should take chance. After
the bonds are passed 1t is then up to
this chamber to watch and make sure
the money is properly spent II
Filtration Pllnt Considered ....s
The filtration plant also received
some opposition because 1t was be-
lieved that more specific details
should be obtained before the money
is voted. Murray explained that he
planned to have an expert go into the
matter thoroughly before construction
is started and had intended to request
the service of Prof. Arthur r. Keller.
G. w. Smith, president Of the cham
Der, then read letter from Prof.
Keller which sa:d that experiments
extending over several months SHOULD
be carried on before the plant is erect
ed and In q general way outlined what
should be done. He said that as sand
is used as a filter great care should
be taken to learn IL there is local sand
suitable for such work. -. III.
Detailed knowledse Needed
In part Keller said: i ..~.H= i
The general subject of filtration is
now well understood, but as no physi- |
clan maintains a universal remedy for |
all ailments, so filtration engineers |
generally desire detailed knowledge
In regard to the water to be filtered |
before they recommend the method. |
n the same water is being treated
then one can secure infor-
nation from that source On the
other hand, If a new field is to be en-.
tered. 1t is usual to erect and oper-
ate small experimental plants, thus Sc
curing knowledge of the behavior of |
his water when treated in various
ways These experimental filters also
serve to show the value of various
available local materials.

NE YORK, May 22.-"The National
league must win some worlds cham
pionships or baseball-as well as the
National leagues going to suffer, .
said John X. Tener, president Of the
National leaguet, today.
"The ease with which the Red Sox
defeated Brooklyn last year and the
fact that they had little trouble in
winning from Philadelphia the year be-
fore makes it rather hard for the Ma
tional league.
I'VE haven't been winning worlds
championships often enough. The rep
utation of the old Cubs and the old
Giants doesn't do us much good. The
fact that the Braves established rec
ord by winning worlds championship
in four straight games, defeating what
is called the greatest baseball machine
ever pieced together, doesn't get us any
prestige at ALL We've got to win
championships and keep on winning
them
q realize just as much as anyone
that our league doesn't seem to shape
up with the American, although know
in my own heart that by comparison
honest comparison on the record of
years-that we do not suffer"
Tener undoubtedly has grasped the
point on which the National league
kind of baseball is going to live or die.
The National league will have to win
some championships before it can take
rank with the brand produced by Ban
Johnson's subjects.
New York has acquired considerable
of a National league baseball club. 1t
is expected everywhere that it will win
the National league championship. If
it does it will provide some pretty
strong opposition for anything the
American league can trot out In a
short series it would be hard task to
defeat that aggregation of high-strung,
athletes.
The regularity with which the Ath-
letics formerly crushed National league
the success of the Red Sox
il 1912 and their two later victories in
1915 and 1916 look rather bad for the
National league-and all this in spite
of the wonderful Cubs, the Pirates and
the amazing feats of the Braves.

Soy Beans For Grain and Hay
BY John r. Fain, Professor of Agrono-
my, State College of Agriculture.

Especially in North Georgia the Soy
Bean should receive more attention
than has been given it in the past
For grain producer on good soils
this crop can scarcely be surpassed.
1t yields more bushels of grain per
acre than do Cowpeas and the grain
is rich in protein. For hog grazing
it stands as North Georgia's most
promising crop.
Soy Beans will not produce well on
poor worn lands however and should
never be planted there The Cowpea
will remain the best legume for this
kind of land. 1t seems to stand ad-
verse conditions here better than the
soy bean but on good land the soy
bean is harder.
For grain soy beans should be
planted in 80 inch rows and culti-
waited once or twice. By this method
a larger crop will be grown. Beans
planted in this manner during early
spring will be ready to Craze from
August to October depending on the
variety. The Ito San and Hamber-
landt are examples of early kinds
and the Mammoth Yellow and Black
of late kinds An average yield
should Craze from eight to fifteen
100 pound hogs for thirty days. Graz
ing may be begun as soon as the pods
turn yellow.
For hay the soy bean will be used
largely on rich land where Cowpeas
are inclined to fall down and tangle.
The soy bean plants grow erect SO
are easy handled. The yield is usu-
ally little, greater than the yield
of cowpeas, but there is some more
waste in feeding it. The same rate of
seeding employed with cowpeas
should be used For grain only a
half bushel per acre will be neces-
sary
Soy beans are susceptible to wilt
and nematodes hence should not be
grown on lands infested with either
of these. In South Georgia the crop
fails to seed quite often but always
makes a good yield of hay.

Upland Rice
r. r. chids, Scientific Assistant Cereal
Investigations, U. S. Dept. of Agrp
Cooperating with Georgia
st. Col. of Agriculture.

Owing to the inevitable shortage OF
food stuff caused by the war, the peo-
pie of Georgia are urged to make
their farms self-sustaining by growing
food crops.
While rice is best grown on irri-
gated soils some good yields have
been made on lands that were not ir-
rigated and there are many farms in
the state on which this crop can be
profitably grown under present con-
ditions.
According to the census of 1910
Georgia grew 148,69S bushels of rice,
1882 bushels of which were grown
without irrigation Thirty-two differ
ent counties were represented, these
counties being scattered through all
sections of the state. On most of
these areas the yields ranged from
20 to SO bushels per acre.
For the culture of rice without irri-
CATION, the best soils are drained
ponds or moist bottom lands. The
rice is usually planted in rows just
wide enough to permit cultivation.
The seed are dropped in hills from
to IL inches apart, several seed being
dropped in each hill. Several cultiva-
lions and hoeings are usually neces-
sary to keep down weeds and grass.
In some sections of north Georgia,
the rice is sowed broadcast or with
a grain drill, the natural spring rises
of the rivers being depended on to fur
nish irrigation.
The rice can be harvested and
thrashed in the same manner as the
other grain crops. The rough rice
must be milled to remove the outer
husk before it is suitable for food.
There are a number of small mills
for this purpose in the state, but if
none is available the hull can be re-
moved by placing the rice in a trough
made by following out a log and
pounding it with maui.
This rice will not be as highly pol
ished as that found on the market,
but the dark unpublished rice is more
nutritious than the pure white rice
found on the market as the outer lay
ers of the latter, which are very rich
in protein, are removed in the polish
ing process.

Gathering Food for Bees.

A clever scheme, that appears to
have originated in Scotland, is to
gather pollen from flowers with a
vacuum cleaner for use as food for
bees. The heather on wide stretches
of moors provides ample supplies, and
it is said that in some places the
young bees were mostly reared on this
pollen.

Beans
T. II. Mediation, Professor of Hortl-

Beans, cowpeas and like legumi-
nous crops should be extensively
grown on the Georgia farms this
year. From ten to twenty bushels
Of dried beans can be expected from an
acre of ground, and these food stuffs
will partially take the place of meat,
as beans contain a great deal of pro-
TEN. This crop is easily grown and
easily stored, as the weevils can be
controlled through the simple fumi-
CATION with carbon bisulphide We
are not a bean eating people We are
however, great meat eaters, and the
present conditions existing in this coun-
try are going to necessitate the pro-
duction of food stuffs at home. We
cannot produce meats as rapidly as
they will be consumed, therefore, we
must fall back on the various legumf-
nous crops. such as beans and peas,
to take the place Of meats.
