ence With Secretary Tu-

days Announcement =
Democratic Senators Will
Fight Resolution But Are
Confident 1t Cannot Get
BY President

WASHINGTON, May An the Opin-
ion Of administration oficialse close to
President Wilson the Knox peace reso-
luton is certain to be vetoed if adopted
by congress. 1t was said at the White
House today that no one had been au-
thorized to speak with final authority
for the President but it was intimated
that the general expectation among
those in his confidence was that he
would adhere strictly to the position he
announced last summer against any
form Of separate peace.
In outlining their belef that the
President would veto such resolution
administration officials recalled his let
ter to Senator Fall last summer de-
claring that to make a separate peace
would be a stain on the nation s honor
They said they knew of no reason to
believe that the chief executive had
changed his mind.
That is the view also held by many
administration senators who arc expect
ed to fight the peace resolution but who
also expect that if it is passed the Pres
ident will return it to congress unap
proved.
Senator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia
who on previous occasions has been con
suited by his colleagues regarding th'
Presidents position on issues of th
treaty fight, was at the White Hous'
today and had long talk with Sccre
tary Tumulty. Senator Glass said h
did not see the President and both h
and Secretary Tumulty declined TO re
veal details of their discussion.

BILLIONS ARE SP ENT

Statistics Show Tremendous Sum of

WASHINGTON.-An average OF
So, no 100000 is spent annually by the
people of the United States for "luxu-
ries," according to statement by
Miss Edith Strauss, head of the wom-
ans activities division of the depart
ment of justice high cost of living
campaign.
Miss Strauss estimates on this basis
per family expenditure of $348 per
wear of 81 a week for "luxuries."
The male population spends $2,11O,-
100000 on tobacco in its various forms.
Of this sum SSO0,000,000 is spent for
cigarettes, a like sum for loose to-
bacco and snuff and $510,000,000 for

TIME TO PLAN FOR FALL GRAIN
MAKE PLANS NOW FOR YOUR FERTILIZER

also ideal for growing wheat in winter
and in many cases the land actually
needs some growing crop on it during
the winter months to prevent washing,
teaching and loss of plant food from
the soil.
For best results with these fall
sown grains it has been found by ag-
ricultural investigators that they
should be planted in time to get a
good root system developed before
freezing weather sets in, and should be
delayed in planting until all danger
from the Hessian fly is past Plant
ing dates have been worked out for
each section by the college of agricul-
ture, to which application should be
made for the best period to plant, con-
sidering all conditions.
Fertilizer, literally and intelligent
ly applied, will push the young plants
before cold stops their growth, will
make plump, heavy kernels, and will
cause increased tillering, which means
more heads. For these reasons
think it important for farmers and
dealers to give the matter attention
at this time" DR.. Harper says.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1920-08-17

Keeping in mind the shortage of
freight cars, the congestion of traffic,
and the usual delays incident to secur-
ing sufficient fertilizer for feeding
crops, farmers of the southeast should
be making their plans now for getting
their fertilizers for fall grains" says
DIR. j. N. Harper, director of the
Southern Soil Improveent Commit
tee. Director Harper believes that the
South as a whole is more interested
in producing fall grain this season
than in many years. Indications are
that the acreage will be increased in
wheat, oats and rye.
Recent surveys by the federal de-
partment of agriculture show that the
cost of producing grain in the large
wheat growing centers has been grad
ually increasing until last year many
farmers lost money on the project
Mr.. Harper states also that the soils
of the south will respond quickly to
good handling and liberal fertilizing,
permitting the southern farmer to
produce heavy crops per acre, thus re-
ducing his cost. The weather here is
