IMPROVING THE
1919 WHEAT CROP
Top Dress With Manure and Fer.
tiIizer and Increase the
Yield.

The bureau of crop estimates OF the
United States department of agricul.
ture reports an increase of four per
cent In the acreage Of fall-sown wheat,
as compared with that sown in the fall
OF 1916 This would be highly en-.
couraging, were II not for the fact
that much of this Is In poor condition,
is in fact ten per cent under the aver
age condition Of the last ten years. On
less the coming spring is remarkably
favorable for the development OF win
ter wheat. the 1913 crop will be even
smaller than that Of 1917.
We have but one more chance for
increasing our 1918 bread-graln crop,
and this Is by top-dressing either with
fertilizer or with manure. In the lat
ter case the work may be done at once,
the manure being spread thinly and
evenly, preferably with the manure
spreader Manure so used protects
the wheat from winter injury, and at
the same time stimulates growth in
the cold weather of early spring. Every
day gained at this season Is Just so
much crop insurance.
When fertilizer IL used 1t must be
applied just as growth starts In the
early spring. 1t is then that available
plant food is most needed, and when
II is most efficient In causing the
plant to "tiller OUT and increase the
number of seed-bearing stems. Fertl-
lizer used at this time may change
crop failure to crop success, and Js
certain to give results when the wheat
was sown late, or when it was sown
with an insufficient supply of plant
food.

MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS.

Marguerite Clark in a delightful
picture "The Seven swans will be
the enjoyable attraction at the COL
onisl this evening
The beautiful little Princess Twee-
dledee lived with her seven brothers
happily until wicked witch of a
.neighboring country got power over
her, threw her into prison and changed
her brothers into white swans. The
princess escaped with the aid of the
moon fairies, who, sent her to the
Sand Man" The latter told her she
must weave shirts out of nettles for
her brothers night and day and remain
dumb in order to save them. She met
Prince Charming, who married her,
but could never get her to speak. So
the Prince tired of her and she went
back to her own country where the
wicked Queen was ruling. The Queen
accused her of of witchcraft and the
Pricess was sentenced to death. But
on the morning of the execution. the
Seven Swans appeared, she threw the
nettle-woven shirts over them and
they regsined human form. Every
thing was then explained, Prince
Charming was sent for, a great mar.
risge festival took place, and the
Princess became Queen of the great
country over which Prince Charming
ruled.

der on going to the firing line takes
with him one or more burlap bags
During the day. as the embankments
are worn down by continuous shell
fire, these bags are file with earth
or sand and then ut nightfall ire
thrown up to repair the parapet
Here II is not question of convent
ence-lt is question of necessity
The boys In the trenches must have
first call on the burlap supplies.
The larger bags even have certain
advantages. When emptied they may
be used TO carry crops from the field
to the bin or crib; a 200-pound bag
holds two bushels of potatoes Very
few men ever carry two sacks of pO-
tatoes in single trip even though
each sack contains but one bushel
ON the other hand most men can cas-
lily carry two bushels when they are
in the same bag, and hence do this
part of their work more rapidly. SO
II happens that the large bag becomes
a very real labor saver and this at a
time when all farmers must cut cor
ners to make most productive a labor
supply all too short
There are other advantages for the
larger bag II is much more useful
as wrapping material than are the
smaller sizes. II can be cut up for
packing purposes. and used In other
ways. Once farmer becomes accus-
toned to this size he never returns TO
the smaller sizes Whole states in the
south have for years used nothing but
the 200-pounl size.

ATTEMPT TO BLACK

CHARGED TO COUPLE

ments charging them with an attempt
TO blackmail Mayor Asa G. Gambler
out of 100000 hawke been returned
by Fulton county grand jury against
]. W. Cook, a real estate man of so
Columbia avenue, and Mrs. H. H.
Hirsch. Their bonds have been as
sessed at $4,000 each, and they have
been lodged in Fulton tower.
The indictments were the direct re-
suit of testimony given before the
grand jury by Mayor Gambler him
self, who declared that on Wednesday,
February 6, Mrs. Hirsch and Cook en-
deavored to place him in a compromis-
ing position at his Office in the Can
dler building and afterward threatened
to take their story to Mr.. Hirsch u1l-
less Mayor Gambler sent Mrs Hirsch
out of town and gave her half the sum
he donated to Emory university, which
was $1,000,0O0.
In his testimony, Mayor Gambler
went into full details Of the scene in
his Office with Mrs. Hirsch and Mr..
Cook and described how, through
friends the man and women were led
on" to make their demands. Once
Mrs. Hirsch had come out openly and
demanded money, said Mr.. Gambler,
he at once ordered his attorney to
take the matter before the grand jury
In less than two hours after the
grand jury returned its indictments,
Mrs. Hirsch and Cook were arrested.
Mrs. Hirsch was taken in custody at
the Office of Mr.. Hirsch in the Trust
Company Of Georgia building. They
were at once taken to the tower. Mr..
Hirsch is a well known insurance
man, but he is out of town.
Both Mrs. Hirsch and Cook are well
known to hundreds of Atlantians. The
latter has been in the real estate bus,
mess here for years. He is said to be
a hadnsome man, natty dresser and
a great sports fan. Mrs. Hirsch has
interested herself with Red Cross
work, civic affairs and various charit-
able entertainments, benefit perform
ances and the like.
In his statement before the grand
j;:ry Mayor Gambler said he had known
Mrs. Hirsch since the summer OF 1917,
when he met her In connection with
some Red Cross work.
