HOW THE BEST TOBACCO
CAN BE GROWN

Atlanta, Ga, April 27.-Over
most of the bright tobacco belt
the setting of the young plants
will be done in April, and while
many farmers are preparing their
lands for this planting they are
naturally concerned with the best
fertilizers to use in order to make
the highest yield of the best quail
itiy weed, says the Western Sem
tinel. The soil improvement COM
mittee calls attention to some sug
gestions made by E. G. Moss, in
charge of the tobacco branch sta
ton. Mr.. Moss has spent years of
study in growing of tobacco and
is one of the best posted special
lists in tn South.
/ For the coastal. plain sections
Mr.. Moss finds that a fertilizer
analyzing from 6 to 8 percent
available phosphoric acidi, 3 to 4
percent amonia. and 3 to a per-
cent potash is about the mixture
to use, an 8-4-4 fertilizer may be
applied. This mixture should be
used at the rate of about 1000
pounds per acre. In some cases,
where the manure is available A
light application of this material
should be made about 80 days be-
for planting.
: In the Piedmont sections there
should be a reduction in the am
cunt of potash and amonia. The
fertilizer should analyzeg Ao6t
, percent available phosphoric
acid 2 1-2 percent .anlOnia' ana
2 to 3 percent potash. For general
use an .s,3-3 mixtats;' will give
good results when applied at hte
rate of GOO to LOO, pounds per
acre. according to the fertility of
.lthe 'laHh Some stable manure can
also pe.used in this case if. ap,

tbare set.s "a asa. vs..
Mr. Moss finds that'if heavy ap
iplications of fertilizer are made
the, tobacco plants may be- set
closed together and to made a
larger yield on the same acreage.
On the average he advocates set
ting the plants about "a inches
apart in. 4-foot rows. Where. the
plant makes excess growth it may
be topped high but not too high
to prevent maturity of the top
leaves by the time the'lower ones
d, have been primed.

Of farmers in Stewart county,
Tennessee, that they must not sell
their tobacco at present prices
are instances of the revival OF
night riding in this section. The
plant beds of several growers
were DESTROYED by being sown

FERTILIZERS FOR YOUR
GARDEN

Manure is scarce in and around
cities. Commercial featilizers mus.
be deperded upon primarily for
adding fertility to garden soils.
1t pays to use the best grade of
commercial fertilizers. When the
home gardener buys fertilizers
he pays for nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash, and if be can
secure the required amount of
these elements in small quantity
of material, so much the better
as he viii avoid the handling of
a greater weight upon which the
freight and other costs have been
paid. A fertilizer containing A to
6 percent of nitrogen, 8 to 10
percent of available phosphoric
acid, and 3 or A percent potash
is generally recommended for use
on home gardens by specialists.
One pound to 80 feet of row is
equivalent to an application of
500 pounds to the acre. One pound
to Is feet Of row is equivalent to
an application of 1000 pounds
to the acre, and an application
of one pound to 8 feet of row is
equivalent to practically 1000
pounds to the arce. .---,
Commercial fertilizers are high
at present and no more than is
absolutely necessary should be
used. Care. must also be taken ir
their application, as there is {
constant danger of burning tht
roots of the plants especially
where the fertilizers are applied
directly to the rows. The best re
Suits are generally secured whef,
the fertilizers are applied anc
rakedfh a few days before sowing
| the ,seeds.o1- setting the plants, Ii
this way they become more or~les,
p'nixed' with the soil and there will

plants aa injury

Weighed and Found Wanting.

And now comes Mr.. Bryan with
suggestion that President Wilson re-
sign and permit Vice-President Mar
shall to be president for a day or
two, preliminary to Fastening the as
cendancy of President-elect Harding
into the White House. It could be
done, Mr.. Bryan explains, by Mar
shall, as president appointing Mr..
Harding secretary of state, and then,
upon the resignation of Mr.. Marshall
Mr.. Harding would automatically be-
come chief executive.
Fine! -..
Especially fine, according to the
Bryan idea of government, but Pres
ident Wilson and Vice President
Marshall may not concur
Wonder what ails Mr.. Bryan, any
way? Can it be that he imbibed
from the wrong bottle of grape juice
and got an overvoltage of kick? :,
Or, maybe Mr.. Bryan is merely a
deserter--a deserter from the party
that has BESTOWED so many honors
upon him. It ~ hardly probable
however, that Mr.. -Bryan's desertion
will be permanent. Four years from
now the chances are he will be back
with his usual effort to dictate the
policies and nominations Of Democ-
racy, butting in here, there and ev-
erywhere after the fashion of an aged
anc irrasciblc goat.
Differing from his party on any
ordinary. issue would not necessarily
be an inconsistent act. Many good
men do that. But
: For Mr.. Bryan to desert the great
cause Of Peace, the very thing he mas
been preaching broadcast for years..
generally at about $3.50 per sermon
certainly brands him as unfaithful in
a matter of more importance to the
human race than any other issue that
ever has been before the people. Mr..
Bryan turned his back on the League
for Peace. That tags him as de-
serter.
Fact is, Mr.. Bryan has been
weighed and found wanting.
Yet, some people still insist that his
name will go down into history along
with Washington and Lincoln. Ed.

URGES THAT pARTI-
= SAN POLITICAL HATREDS
1s> BE SUBMERGED
SAYS Democratic Party y Not Dead
or Even Seriously Wounded.

or Even Sertously WOUNDED.
New York, November William
G. McAdoo, former Secretary OF the
Treasury, i'll statement tonight COM
lnaenting on the result Of the natinl=
al election, declared that what the
country needs is a subsistence Of the
passions and hatreds engendered by
the war and the partisan political APP
peals that have followed.
ut is of no value to try to explain
the causes of the Democratic defeat
November 2" the statement said.
"Unde- our political system it Is al
ways better to have one party con-
troll at ashington, than to have divid-
ed authority.
What the country imperatively
needs now is subsistence of the pas
sions and hatreds engendered by tho
war and the partisan political appeals
that have followed. The country is
sick of political ISLANDERS and con-
troversies. 1t wants domestic as well
as international peace, and it wants
OF that fine spirit of CO.
operation which made Americans in
vincible in war. We face domestic
and international problems of great
gravity.
The only way to solve. them is
through cooperation. The highest
duty OF the leaders of both parties is,
therefore, to promote better feeling
among all classes Of our people, to
refrain from unworthy appeals to
class and racial prejudices and TO
bring to bear upon our serious prob
lens that dispassionate and intelli-
gent consideration through which
alone there is promise of genuine pub
lie service.
The Democratic party has suffered
a severe, but not disastrous de-
feat. 1t is far from dead; it is not
even seriously wounded. Through
cut our history Overwhelming politi-
cal reverses have been followed by
extraordinary political recoveries.
So long as the Democratic party is
true to its mission of service to the
common people it will live. What
we must do now is to build up and
strengthen the party organization,
or group or faction, but for the cause
of democracy itself, and above all,
for service of country. 1t will not be
difficult, through proper leadership
and organization, to reinspire party
enthusiasm, to restore party unity, to
maintain party ideals and principles
and to regain popular confidence.
To this task Democratic leaders must
now devote themselves with unself-
ish patriotism and courage"

CUTTING HAS BEGUN
And Thousands Are Out Of Work b
Labor Centers.

New York, Nov. 8.-General' wage
deflation has begun. That g the mr.
depreciation generally put upon "a:
ports from all over the country and
from all lines of business and indus
try to the almost unanimous effect
that manufacturers and business men
III all lines are confronted with the
necessity of either curtailing their
working personnel with = resultant
lessening of production, or reducing
wages and salaries ON a wholesale
scale.
Reports indicate that not only
wage earners, but salaried men as
we'll are being caught in the econom-
ic pressure that is beginning to
squeeze normally small incomes back
to their normal pre-war dimensions.
Many firms are known to have begun
the process of wage and small salary
deflation by operating first on the
incomes of the unorganized clerical
forces and the minor executives.
There is evidence in reports from
the biz industrial centers and in the
department of labor statistics for the
month to show that unemployment IS
greater at the present time than at
any period since the war began.
Cleveland and Toledo are said to
be flooded with unemployed. One
hundred thousand men have been
laid off in Cleveland recently and
sixty THOUSAND are reported as still
minus jobs, whereas the normal num-
Der of those out of work is ten thou-
sand. Conditions in Toledo are said
to be equivalent to, if not worse,
than in Cleveland. The problem in
both cities is aggravated by the ar
rival of workers from Akron and De
troit, where thousands of workers III
the rubber and motor car plants have
been laid off within the last few
weeks.
The estimates of those now out Of
work in Detroit range from forty
thousand to one hundred thousand.
Whereas, six months ago an apart
ment in Detroit was almost unobtain-
able at any price, "for rent" signs are
common in windows there now and
there has bee general drop in rents.
While union labor leaders have
been warning the men in the ranks
that the manufacturers intended all
general cut in wages and
trouble as result, no
clash has as yet developed where
cuts have been made.
To-day at -Uneasville,- Conn., the
cotton mill of the Uncasville Manu-
featuring Company, after shutdown
Of two weeks, reopened with a gen
eral wage reduction of 20 per cent.
This afternoon E. d. White, general
of the company, said that
the full working force had shown UP
and that there had been no trouble
as result of the wage reduction.

Captain John William Wainwright

Impressive funeral services over
the body OF Captain ]. w. VAIN
Wright, Who died September IS, 1918,
while on duty with the American
cxpcdiiionary Force i'll, France, were
held at the Ohio street NJ. Z. church
Sunday afternoon. The services at
the church and at the grave were un-
der the auspices of the James =.
Arnold Post American Legion, and
were conducted by Rev. Roy Biser, Of
the Christian church, and Rev. H. A.
Mitchell, of the Ohio street church.
The pail bearers were soldiers OF the
late war who had known him from
boyhood.
CAPTAIN wainwright was soldier
of the highest type. For many years
he lived and loved the rugged life Of
the soldier and died the death of
soldier while in the service of his
country in foreign land. His mil
itary career commenced in this city
and here his mortal remains were
laid to rest in beautiful Oak Hill.
He was born in Fall River, Massa-
chusetts, November IL. 1873 and
early in life came with his parents to
this county, where his boyhood was
spent. In May, 1895, soon after war
with Spain had been declared, he en-
listed in Co. B, End Missouri Volun-
teer Infantry, in this city, and served
with that regiment until it was mus
tered out of the service in February
the following year. He did not re-
main in civil life for long. The fas-
cination OF army life was too strong
and he soon reinlisted, this time with
the regular army. He served six
years in the Philippine Islands with
lhe 14th United States infantry Sec
ing considerable active service against
the rebellious tribes of those islands.
He later served several years with
the Ist regiment in the Hawaiian
islands. His strict attention to duty
and taking advantage of every oppor-
tunity to add to his military knowl-
edge and make himself better SOL
der soon attracted the attention OF
his superior officers and he was rap
idly advanced and for many years he
held the highest and-most respons-
ible non-commissioned offices in his
command At the outbreak of the
war with Germany he was among the
first to be appointed second lieuten-
ant and sent back to the United
States to assist in forming new
Army, On his arrival in San Fran
Fei4co he found that he had been pro-
NOTED to first lieutenancy and Or
dered to Camp Ben Harrison, In.
dana, for duty. He was soon pro-
inoeed to captaincy aud assigned to
sIe A.. -.
