NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings in Al
the Leading Stocks

New York, May S-Although during
the first hour or two Of today's broad
er and more professional session. the
stock market gave promise Of making
additional recoveries from last weeks
depression, practically all the ad-
vantage gained was relinquished In
the afternoon. Leading industrials and
rails rose to 2 points during the early
trading, with gains Of as much or con-
siderably more among specialties. but
an abrupt reversal set in on heavy
selling Of utilities. chiefly gas and
fractions. which later extended to tel
ephone and telegraph shares and be-
came more general in the last hour
Advices came from Washington which
outlined the radical policy Of the gov
eminent toward industrial corpora

for disappointing Of an American ma
rine service. Final quotations for rep
resentative stocks were slightly above
lowest levels on the short covering
which followed the publication fthe
crop report.

we read Of generous foes of brave
and resourceful enemies and of the
chivalrous respect which antagonists
usually entertain for each other. So
far as war itself is concerned, there
is no glory in it for the true soldier
who knows or suspects that he is fac
ing interiors. No brave man ever
deliberately belittles an opponent soon
to be met in battle.
We have heard a great deal of Ger
,nany's mistakes in this war, some Of
Judgment, some of diplomacy, some Of
humanity and morals, and some of
military operations. Grievous as they
have been, probably not one of them
can exceed the folly of underestimate

ANOTHER OF GERMANY'S

The attitude of the German press
about the American expedition in
France is thoroughly characteristic.
1t was in much the same spirit, if
rot in the same words that Germans
were speaking of the French and Eng
fish at the beginning of the war The
French were degenerates. The English
stupid brutes. Both were unworthy
Of the power, influence and advant-
ages which they enjoyed and Germany
by the right of her might and culture
proposed to supplant them. Now the
German press is employed in telling
the German people of the folly of the
Americans in presuming to enter the
fight against them Count Reyentlow
declares that the whole expedition to
France is a bluff Amy one who has
seen the American army" says the
Leipzig Neueste NachricRten, sis

There are only few American

What Georgia Can
And Should Do
Andrew M. souIe, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture.

Georgia produced last year about
$780, 00,000.0O worth of food products
including the sale and slaughter of
animals raised on her farms This
sum can be increased by $100,000,000
during the present year. To do this
corn should be planted on the usual
basis, and in addition on the areas
on which winter oats were destroyed
by the February freeze. If this were
done we should be able to raise ap-
proximately 100,000,000 bushels of
corn. We can certainly double the
area in sweet and Irish potatoes. The
hay crops Of Georgia can easily be
quadrupled since cowpeas, soy beans,
velvet beans, corn, sorghum, kafhr
corn, Sudan grass millet and various
other crops may be used for this pur-
pose. The planting of these hay crops
may be done any time in the next six
ty days. Establishing a hay crop
is chiefly matter Of preparing the
land and setting aside sufficient
area to grow the necessary tonnage.
Ii we do not provide the forage need.
ed for our live stock they will lose
their efficiency, as the chances are we
will not be able to obtain food of this
character from the west next fall on
account of railroad congestion
Every farmer should make his plans
now to grow at least wheat for ten
persons. This would be seventy
bushels If this were done Georgia
would supply herself with all the
wheat needed in 1918 Wheat may be
planted with advantage in cotton land
after hay crops have been gathered.
Our deficiency in wheat may be over
come somewhat by planting upland
rice, and all the truck which can pos
sibly be needed by our towns and cit
les can be easily produced if the far
mer, the vacant city lot owner and the
gardener systematic their efforts.
Sorghum should be grown on every
farm for syrup. In an emergency SUI
gar can be made from it. While we
can not Immediately increase the num-
Der of cows and beef cattle, no breed
ing animal should be slaughtered and
all calves should be fed out as rapid
ly as possible. There is no reason in
the world why we should not double
the number of hogs maintained on
the farms in the northern part of the
state. If steps in the right direction
are taken promptly, we can supply
ourselves with all the meat needed
for local consumption. The Importance
of increasing the corn crop can not
be stressed too strongly as It sup
plies the chief grain ration for our
work stock and in an emergency may
be made to take the place of wheat
in the human dietary. There is no
reason why we should not double the
output of our poultry yards.
Vigorous action along the fines in
Dictated wiz alone save us from the
disastrous situation which now con-
fronts us.
