find was one which reflected the
greatest credit upon the British forces.
The British commander, Sir David
Beatty, was a particularly dashing and
heroic fighter; could not these splendid
qualities really be turned to the ad-
vantage Of the Germans? That Ad-
miral Beatty would fight at the first
opportunity, and that he would run all
justifiable risks, If chance presented
of defeating the German fleet, was as
well known to the Germans as to our
selves. The British Admiral, it was
also known, did not entertain much
respect for mines and torpedoes.
What Beatty Would Have Done.
All navies POSSESSED what is known
as a torpedo flagc This was an en-
blem which was to be displayed in case
torpedoes We're sighted for the pur.-
pose of warning the ships to change
course of if necessary, to desist from
an attack. 1t was generally reported
that Admiral Beatty had ordered all
these torpedo flags destroyed; in case
he once started in pursuit of the Ger
man fleet. he proposed to take his
chances, dive straight through school
of approaching torpedoes, or even to
rush full speed over a mine field, max
ing no efforts to avoid the hidden mis-
siles. That he would probably lose
some ships the Admiral well knew, but
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1920-04-25

he figured-and probably correctly
that he would certainly have enough
vessels left to annihilate the enemy.
Still, in the judgment of our Planning
Section. Admiral Beatty's assumed at
titude toward torpedo flags gave the
Germans their only possible chance of
seriously injuring the Grand Fleet:
They drew up a plan of attack on the
Scapa Flow forces based upon this as
sumption. Conceiving themselves as
directors of the German navy, they
CONSTRUCTED large numbers of torpedo
boats, submarines, and mine fields and
stationed them in a PARTICULARLY advan-
tageous position; they then proposed to
send the German fleet in the direction
of Scapa Flow, draw the Grand Fleet
to the attack and then lead it in the
direction of the torpedoes and mines.
Probably such a scheme would never
have succeeded; but is represented, in
the opinion of our Planning Group
Germans only chance of Gripping the
Grand Fleet and winning the war In
other words, had my staff found itself
in Germany's position, that is the
strategy which it would probably have
used. L gave this report unofficially
to the British Admiralty simply be-
cause 1 thought it might afford British
officers reading that would possibly be
entertaining. 1t is an evidence of the
| cooperation that existed between the
| two forces, and of the British dispo-
sition to accept suggestions, that this
document was imm ediately sent to
| Admiral Beatty.

There is no use getting panlcky
over the big decline in the price OF
cotton. The bulls had control OF the
market for a long time and they made
the bears sweat, and now the tables
have turned. The bears are having
their day and they are making the
most of it, but the picking won't last
long. Cotton is due for big re-
bound, regardless of what the Big
Interests or Liverpool do and
think, and if the farmers will sit
steady in the boat the pendulum will
swing the other way. The homely
saying that "it doesn't rain in the
same field all the time" applies with
equal force to either side of the mar
ket and when cotton takes an upward
turn the rise will be just as fast as
was the decline. The bears and other
powerful interests working In con-
junction with them will find that the
south cannot be stampeded.

In another column is reproduced
communication by Mr.. T. W. Berry
State Executive Committeeman from
Dillon county, to The State newspaper
in which Mr.. Berry explains why he
voted against the appropriation OF
$500 by the State Executive Commit
tee to the national campaign fund.
The position Mr.. Berry takes in this
matter is sound and logical. We do
not believe the State Executive Com
mittee has the right to appropriate
funds raised for a specific purpose to
another purpose. Neither do We be-
lieve it is right to make the candl-
dates for county Offices pay the elec-
ton expenses of candidates for State
offices. The only part of the election
expenses borne by the candidates Tor
State offices is the printing of the
tickets for State Offices and the entire
burden falls on the shoulders of the
candidates for the county Offices.
This is a matter which should come
before the next State Convention.

BENEFITS OF RYE AS A WINTER.
COVER CROP. 4

Southern soils are much in need Of
organic matter or humus. An excel.
lent opportunity for providing it is af-
forded by rye sown in the fall and
turned under in the spring. Not only
will it increase the organic contents
Of the soil, but 1t will conserve plant
food and increase the yields OF sub.
sequent crops. 1t useS nitrogen that
would have leached out and would have
been lost during the fall and winter.
It also utilizes the phosphoric acid and
potash that becomes soluble during the
winter. All these and ther elements
Of plant food go into the ground with
the spring plowing and will be releas'
ed for the subsequent crops.
Winter legumes are excellent where
they can be grown with success. but 1t
Is much easier to get a stand OF rye
on all kinds OF soils and under vari'
GUS climatic conditions. Rye Ia In
fact the most dependable crop for
poor soils, and it is the poor soil, of
course, which needs a winter-cropI
most.
Mistakes are sometimes made in o.
failure to plow under rye at the right
time. II the spring Is dry It should
be turned under early, no matter what
It's stage of growth Is. The danger
OF course, Is that rye will pump out
too much soil moisture. rendering the
soil hard and lumpy when plowed and
giving the following crop a poor show.
II the spring Is wet or normal, Of
course. the rye should be allowed TO-
grow as long as possible, since 1t will
be adding benefits to the soil,
Rye being such a good soil helper
ought to he given 4 better show than
is usually accorded 1t. The seed bed
should ~ well prepared and fertilizers
should be applied, to both OF which 1t
makes ready response.

.derneath we have the following in
sinuating lines: Great screen success
that lays bare the temptations of
woman and the application of the un-
written law. Was she in room 13?
If not-who? For she was seen at
the door when the fatal shot was
fired-feeing into the night-a ter
ror-strlcken thing of fear" And on
another part of the page we find the
brazen-looking, highly painted female
creatures who took leading parts in
the pictures. How much longer is the
decent, self-respecting half of the
human family going to tolerate this
kind of filth? Years ago a certain
publication which carried lewd pic
lures of women of easy character,
with suggestive foot-notes, was ex-
cluded from the mails, and at the
present time it is a violation of the
postal laws to send through the mails
obscene matter, yet the government
permits these lascivious stories to be
told by word and picture to millions
of credulous young girls and boys
every night. The producer takes
particular pains to create the impress
sion that the characters represent
men and women who move in the
higher circles and the scenes are
laid in an atmosphere of wealth and
luxury. What then is the effect on
the minds of the youths and maidens
who move in a lower circle? When
one stumbles and falls she becomes
an object of scorn and contempt.
But who's to blame? The moving
picture has come to stay. 1t has be-
come the worlds most popular form
Of amusement, and for that very rea-
son it should be subjected to the
strictest censorship. All pictures are
not bad. Many of them are elevatlng
and instructive, but one bad picture
negatives the influence of dozen
good ones. Where is the end? Who
will raise the voice of protest? Or
shall we sit down supinely and let
the world sink to still lover levels?

Maybe we are growing old and the
world is getting ahead of us, but
somehow our better sense revolts at
many of the things we see going on
around us. The time was in our
youthful days when we could slip OIL
into a quiet corner and read dime
novel and enjoy it, and even at this
day We can get a whole lot of pleas
ure out Of a well-written detective
story. The world used to frown
down on the dime novel and when a
boy read one he felt like he was COM
mitting a little sin, but the old dime
novel with it's rough-and-tumble
heroes is a prayer book compared to
the average picture the youth of this
generation sees spread out on a
movie screen. Many of them have
gone far beyond the bounds of de-
cency - lewd, lustful, lascivious
things of highly suggestive charac-
ter-and they are no doubt largely
responsible for the wave of lmmo-
rality which seems to be sweeping
over the country. A few days ago we
picked up the dramatic section of a
widely read paper, published in a
leading southern city and here is
what we saw advertised as the COM
ing weeks attractions at the motion
picture theatres: "The Discarded

WHEAT AND OATS

SOME FACTORS OF SUCCESSFUL
SMALL GRAIN PRODUCTION

Wheat Is too closely related to hu-
man hunger ever to suffer a serious

rope give no signs Of getting imme.
diately back to normal production. So
Wet Russia, the greatest Of all, offers
20 signs Of growing wheat beyond-i
even equal to-the needs Of Russia
Roumania, Austria, Hungary and the
Balkans are so depleted In men and
means, and so disturbed with war and
international politics, as to grow not
even enough small grain for their own
hungry and starving millions. Other
leading European countries are i'm.
porters and not exporters Of grain.
The Americas will therefore, be the
hope Of Europe's bread. In fact, the
demand will continue to be very urg-
ent.
LABoR-The labor requirements
per acre Of wheat Is less, Of course,
than for cultivated crops. Where Ia
boris scarce wheat and oats are, there
tore, to be looked upon with favor.
But the labor problem involved in
producing wheat will not be complete
y solved unless the farmer goes In for
large yields per acre. 1t requires no
more preparation, and seed, to grow
4 big crop of wheat than small one.
Therefore, the intelligent farmer will
look we'll to his soil treatment so that
maximum yields may be made at
minimum cost per bushel. Farm labor
Is too expensive to neglect this precau-
ton.
PREPARATloN-Wheat and Oats
do best on upland soils. The stiffer,
tirmer soils are preferred. But 1t does
not pay to SOW these crops on eroded,
thin soiled slopes. II the crop Is to
follow cotton, corn or other cultivated
crop, the soil may be disked Deep
breaking is not necessary. After drill
ing in the seed, the soil may be firmed
and smoothed with roller.
FERTILIZATION fertil.
zation will pay on wheat and oats.
Fertilizers will create q good root do
velopment and thus protect the plant
against winterkilling; they will hasten
the growth Of wheat that has been
sown late on account Of the Hessian
ly; 1t will increase stooling or tiller.
ing, and make plumper grain and full.
Or heads; and well-fed plants are also
more resistant to rust and other dis.
sases.
An application Of nitrogen in late
winter or early spring will prove very
,elpful in giving the grain crops a Wig.
orous new start.
GOOD SEEO-A variety Of wheat
may be good, but the terminating
power of the seed poor. A farmer
should give more attention to his
wheat and oat seed. He should find
out their yielding record. Different
strains of a variety will have different
yielding ability. Get only the best
L pays.
Good seed includes clean seed. Make
them smut-free by dip into blue
stone. Use only the varieties that have
rust resistance power.
