Those German plotters don't seem to have even
reading acquaintance with Sherlock Holmes.
More German Perfdy.

During the last three years Americans have be-
come so accustomed to German trickery, treachery
and trouble-making propensities-ever holding fore
most the Lustania, Belgium and Serbia-that it
takes something more than ordinary barbaric
grossness to arouse even a ripple of excitement.
The kultur of Germany has inspired most every
thing their criminally elastic consciences can
abide or murderous brains evolve until nowadays
any German crime must be particularly helnous
to command more than passing attention.
But quite recently there to light another
glaring instance of German duplicity directed
toward their former ally Italy. 1t is mentioned
here only because it is in perfect keeping with leu
ton crimes the world-over.
Italy declared war on Austria in May, 1910,
but it was not until August, 1916, that she di-
rected hostilities against Germany. In June, 1919
Italian mne-sweepers found a barrier or twelve
mines near an Italian naval base. These were
cleared away but few days later similar bar
rier was found in the spot. These mines
could only have been placed by a submarine and
close watch was kept for the undersea boat In
March of last year a mine sank the hostile craft
in shoal water and hence it was no great trick TO
have a good look at her
The investigation showed the boat to be the
NC H. built at the Weser yards by a German
firm The log of the undersea craft showed that
she was towed through the Keil canal in May
1915, and Immediately began the dirty work OF
laying mines in Italian waters, meanwhile ex-
changing the German flag for Austrian colors The
log also revealed the interesting fact that the ship
carried rifles to African port for the rebels
against Italy.
At peace with the United States this modern
butcher plotted to have Japan and Mexico make
war upon this country. At peace with Italy this
nation of kultur lays death-deaing mines in Ital-
ian harbors. And still there are few people who
are outraged because the United States and the
Entente Powers are determined to have done with
Prussianism for all time.
The kaiser should recall that, not even Napo-
leon could carry out winter campaign in Russia

Wheat Week in Georgia.

This is Wheat Week in Georgia. For the next
six days and much longer as may be needfuI.
patriotic farmers will give especial attention to
the preparation Of the soil for planting at least
enough wheat to provide for their own households.
DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule, Federal Food Administrator
for the State. says that from three to five acres
properly cultivated should supply the average fam
lily of FIVE persons with all the -four necessary"
Evidently there is need of any rural family in
Georgia going beyond its own farm or neighbor-
hood for the stan of life. But planters do
great deal better than meet merely their own
needs. They can raise wheat enough to reduce by
many thousands and tens-Ofthousands OF bushels
Georgia.s demand upon the granaries OF the West;
and by so doing they will render a distinct ma
tionaI service as well profit themselves.

HIGH POTASH-BEARING STATES RE
GENTLY DISCOVERED IN GEORGIA
BY w. S. McCallie, State GeologiSt

A slate deposit has recently been discovered in
Georgia by the state geological survey, which
seems to be an excellent raw material for the
near Whites Station, Barlow county, ten miles
north of CaTtersville where it forms belt at least
six miles long, quarter of mile wide
and fully 300 feet thick
The remarkable feature of this slate is its high
potash content large number of samples taken
from different points along the outcropping show
more than per cent potash, which is from two 10
four times the amount found in common slate.
Mr. Shearer assistant state geOlogist, who has re-
Gently made a microscopic study of this slate,
finds that it is made up largely of sericite and
feldspar, of most common potash-bearing
minerals.
The slate is of light-gray color, comparatively
free from iron, has excellent cleavage, and 9th
erwise possesses all the qualities of a frst-cIass
roofing slate.
The unusually high potash contents of this
slate, together with proximity to transportation,
uniformity of composition favorable conditions for
mining and almost ineXhaustible supply to
of potash from sicates than any potash-bearing
silicates heretofore discovered. .-f.......
The chemical composition of this slate is shown
by the following analysis made in the laboratory
of the state geological survey:
