Bishop Theodore J. Reese of Colum-

He said that while the physical force

stand the constructive force of religion.
"In this sense, he said, religious edu-

may be a democracy interpreted and

Back of the training camp Is our

to help him do his duty as he prepares
for his service over there Then, as he
goes forth to take his place on the firing
line he asks the church to see to it that
those who follow after him be so trained
in Christian truth that they will carry on
that for which he is fighting and giving
his life. We cannot be true patriots and

pers and on the hustings. No man has
a warranty deed to a seat in congress
or a position in the legislature. Any
body and everybody has a right to be-
come a candidate if he has a following.
Because a man has been in office a long
time, it does not give him divine right
10 stay there until the public patience
is exhausted.
The time is coming when the length
of service will be limited IS limitations
obtain in various other positions of
church and state.
Because politicians are generally
ready to get into clamor to confuse the
argument, it should be frowned upon
in this time of stress and strain. Poll
ticians should be made to pay income
tax and do a part of everything that
the plain people are exhorted to do, by
the lawmakers. To exempt themselves

aid to the entire family sooner or later.

Associated Press is doubtless reliable

Russians disliked her: =.
PETROGRAD -(CorreSpondence OF
the Associated Press.)-One of the
first requests put before the Russian
delegates at Brest-Litovsk, according
to the Petrograd newspapers, was a
demand from Emperor William for the
safeguarding of the former Russian
empress, Alexandra Alix. The follow
ing account of this incident is taken
from the Wogyn Courier:
At the first meeting, after the rep
resentatives of the Bolsheviki govern
ment and the delegates of the Russian
army had assembled in the large room
which had been devoted to the meet
ing, General Won Hoffman with his
staff came in. The two parties bowed

ccttonseed meal with say htteeh u
twenty-five pounds of bulls and such

prosper, should have the run or pas
ture and at seasons of the year When
no grass is available should be sup
piled with some succulent food in other
forms. In winter you may have
cereal pasture. The above ration should
not be fed for few days after the
COW has calved. For the first two
weeks before calving we would give her
only bran and some succulent feed
without too much dry roughage 1t is
important that you keep the digestive
system in good condition This same
ration should be continued a few days
after calving. Heavy feeding there
after should be avoided. See that the
udder is thoroughly MIXED out so as
not to become caked or fevered. Lint
less bulls have the disadvantage or
packing together more compactly than
those which have not been so carefully
delinted. There is no reason, however,
why either character, If properly fed
should prove injurious. Some people
allow their COWS TO gorge themselves
on feed of this character.

a mixture of 400 pounds of acid and
200 pounds of cotton seed meal should
make fairly satisfactory formula for
use under cotton on the character of
land mentioned in your letter rms
mixture would contain about twelve
pounds of nitrogen. about seventy
pounds of phosphoric acid and about
LIS pounds of potash. If anything, it
is low in nitrogen. especially for sandy
land and unless the soil is well sup
piled with this element we would be
disposed to increase the cotton seed
meal to 800 pounds per acre. The clay
land will probably provide larger per
cent of nitrogen to growing crops than
the sandy land.
Corn is a vigorous growing crop and
requires to be well supplied with avail
able plant food unless the soil is very
rich. We do not think from what you
say in your letter that the land you
propose to devote 10 corn is of average
fertility. Therefore, we feel that you
should use a good deal more fertilizer
than you have indicated. We think
a good combination of the elements
mentioned to apply would be 200 pounds
of EACH making an application of 400
pounds per acre. We would prefer to
apply this either under the drill row
or shortly after the crop is up in order
to give the plants as long a time as
possible to assimilate and utilize the
food in question.

crab grass and pea vines on it, Could |
culhvate this in cotton this year? How
should the land be prepared? Is there
better variety of velvet beans than the
early speckled
1t is not good practice to cultivate
corn and beans on the same land devoted
to this crop last year. One crop, as you
can readily understand, grown on the
same land continuously tends to ex-
hause certain elements. Then, of course,
growing the same crop on the land con-
tinuously increases the danger of devel
oping Objectionable plant diseases. In
der some circumstances it is good prac-
tice to use the same land for the same
crop two years in succession, and f
you have no other soil suitable which
you can use we would not hesitate to
plant corn and peas thereon.
1t is, of course, desirable that you
prepare the land as soon as practicable
Thorough preparation is a most impor-
tant matter and fairly liberal fertiliza-
ton should prove profitable even with
fertilizing materials at the present
price. There is no reason why you
should not grow cotton on the land
about which you inquire. We would
turn under the crop of peavines and
crab grass as soon as possible ,burying
1t to a good depth. Then roll and COM
pact the land so as to make a good seed
bed. Lay off in 4.5 foot rows, put The
fertilizer under the drill, bed over the
top of this for the cotton, and plant as
soon as seasonal conditions are favor
able. You may use any combination CT
fertilizer which will give about 3 to 3.5
per cent nitrogen, to 10 per cent phos-
phoric acid The smaller amount should
be used on clay land and the larger
a a
500 pounds per acre should prove sat
isfactory. The land should be in a firm
condition when you come to plant.
Clean cultivation after the crop is out
of the ground is very important.
We think there is no better variety of
beans for you to plant than the ono
mentioned in your letter.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1918-04-19

The value of velvet bean meal as
fertilizer varies somewhat, but where
the beans are ground and the hulls ex-
cluded a ton of this material will con-
tain eighty pounds of nitrogen, twenty
pounds of phosphoric acid and thirty
four pounds of potash. If the hulls
are included ton of this material
will contain about fifty-seven pounds
of nitrogen, sixteen pounds of phos-
phoric acid and "a pounds of potash.
You will see there is thus a very con-
siderable difference in the nitrogen con-
tent of velvet bean meal as compared
with the velvet bean meal in which
the hulls are included. The excluding
of the hulls does not make any appre-
ciable difference in phosphoric acid. A
ton of this material contains much less
plant food than a ton of per cent
cotton seed meal A ton of cotton seed
meal, in other words, would contain
about forty pounds more nitrogen, about
thirty pounds more phosphoric acid and
about the same amount of potash. The
velvet bean meal can, Of course, be
used for fertilizing purposes on it's
merits. There is no reason why the
plant food it contains should not be-
come quickly available to serve the
needs of all growing crops
