One could not make sugar from
sugar beets with farm outfit. The
machinery and equipment required
for this purpose is. expensive and
mate is not adapted to the produc-
ton of beets running high in sugar.
On the other hand, we can grow
sugar cane or sorghum and make an
excellent quality of syrup out of
either one. We do not think it would
be practicable to make sugar how
ever. from either of these crops with
the small outfit such as the farmer
could afford to purchase and use for
the, purpose of making syrup. The
cooking of sugar to the point where it
will crystalize properly is a rather
complicated process and calls for ex-
pert supervision and a considerable
amount of extensively controlled ap-
paratus. Moreover the clarifying of
sugar is accomplished through the
use of centrifugal machinery which
one. could hardly afford to purchase
or install on a small farm. On the
other hand, very excellent equip

one wishes only to make syrup from
an acre or more of land, an outfit
can be purchased at a cost probably
of 5000.

According to our experience vari-

varieties of cotton under Georgia
conditions as any other of the strains
that we have tested up to this time:
We do not believe that the Cleveland

as early as College No. 1. On the
other hand, we do not believe you
will find it possible to secure seed
of this latter variety at the present

is relatively a new variety. We do
not recommend it for cultivation in
those sections where wilt disease

also apply in the case of the Cleve-

is very troublesome. You can. no

Washington. May 31.--A plea that the American people be not swerved by personal ambition or political ex- pediency" from fulfilling obligations
 to less fortunate people who confi-
 dently look to us for help" marked the Memorial Day address of Gen. John J. Pershing, delivered today in
 the amphitheatre al Arlington National cemetery, where the formal exercises in honor of the day centered
 "To the memory of our beloved dead" he said, i've owe a duty to complete the task they sanctified. The white crosses in France standing as symbols of brotherhood in common purpose against militarism and op- pression, eloquently cry out to us. Are we. a people to live up to our obligations? Must personal ambi- tion and political expediency swerve us from the true course?
 "The appeal that rings in our hearts must not be in vain. Rather let us
 go forward courageously and with un- selfish devotion to the well being of our fellows as the vital aim, re- awaken the fine spirit which made possible our war achievements. Doing our full duty as patriotic citizens, may we meet our obligations and give en- enlargement and comfort to less for tunate people who confidently look to us for help.
 May this day of solemn mediation bear fruit to justify the sacrifice of those who died"

Atlanta, May 31.-The strike of rail- way clerks on half dozen roads in the southeast continued in effect today with movement of freight badly ham pered at many points.
 Reports from Montgomery and Sa- vannah showed that there had been additions to the ranks of the strikers. but from Dothan and Eufala. Ala. and that clerks there had gone back @ work. Dispatches from Montgomery to the effect that E. H. Fitzgerald. presi- dent of the clerks union, had sent a message from Cincinnati calling off the sympathetic strike on the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, could not be con firmed here.
 All roads entering Atlanta except the Seaboard Air Line Railway are af- fected by the strike, which began sew eral weeks ago on the Central of Geor- gia. The latter. which has been filling the places of the absent clerks. re- ported today that more new employees were on hand today in its offices here than were needed.

Many Members Prefer Re cess for Convention, Which May Bring
 Change In Plans
By Associated Prsss

Washington, May 31.-Repub-
 nean leaders of the House and Sem
 ate today agreed tentatively on
 final adjournment of Congress
 Saturday.
 Many members of both the Senate and House, however, have indicated that they prefer a recess for the po- litical conventions to a sine die ad- journment and this may cause a change in the plans as tentatively agreed on.
 The agreement reached by leaders today contemplates the calling up by Representative Mondell of Wyoming, republican leader, in the House tomor- row of his resolution proposing final adjournment at p. nj. Saturday. Final decision as between a recess or an adjournment, 1t was said, might hang fire until the last moment. Tn a conference with the Senate leaders today. however, Representative Mon dell is understood to have been advised to go ahead with his adjournmen. resolution, under the assumption that it probably would be found satisfactory to the Senate majority.
