Railroad rates now are prohibitive

Senator Capper. mot only do we
have the situation in regard to agri-

railroads from receiverships and

The situation is so acute that
immediate relief is imperative. A
substantial reduction in rates is the
only solution. My bill will at least
help. Since the transportation act

MOULTRIE PUPILS
WIN CHIEF H0NORS
At SCHOOL MEET

MOULTRIE, Ga, April 25.-J. NJ
Henry, member of the county police
force, has been dismissed by order
of the board of county commission
ers. His salary will be paid for the
rest of this month, but he was re-
lieved from duty on the day the order
by the board was passed. John Cobb,
of Doerun, has been named as Hen
rvs successor. The commissioners
gave out no statement as to why
Henry was dismissed.
The removal of the officer caused
considerable comment here. A strong
fight was made before the ColQuitt
county grand jury to have both of
the county policemen dismissed and
their work stopped. 1t was contended
that the sheriff's office, the justices
incorporated towns were amply will
ing and able to maintain law and
order. This movement was coun-
tered, however, by prominent men
told the grand jury that the county
policemen had already accomplished
much in checking the traffic in moon
shine whisky.
Mrs. Martha Scarborough, believed
to be the oldest woman in Colquitt
county, died at her home in Harris
field Friday, at the age of 90. Mrs.
Scarborough was member OF one
of the pioneer families of this sec
ton and was widely known. She is
survived by several children and
scores of other relatives in Colqu:tt
and adjoining counties.

farmers, bankers and merchants will

Federal Chemist Gives
Pointers on Applying
Cotton Top-Dressine
BY r. II. SMITH
Chemist, Georgia Experiment Sta
tion.)

(Ch6m1Sb, georgia GxpeT1LaeuG 5Id~
tion.)
For a number Of years at the Geor-
gia experiment station top-dresser
for cotton has been applied as mix
ture of nitrate of soda and sulphate
Of ammonia. The mixture used con-
sists of forty parts sulphate Of am
monia and sixty parts nitrate of So
da, and contains approximately half
it's nitrogen as nitrate and half as
ammonia.
When plants obtain the nitrogen
from nitrate of soda an alkaline resi-
due is left and in excessive amounts
this residue causes a pudding and
Injuries the physical condition of the
soil. On the other hand absorption
of nitrogen from sulphate of am
monia leaves an acid residue which
may also be Objectionable. By US
ing a mixture of the two materials
the alkaline and acid residues COM
bine, leaving a neutral residue in
the soil. Nitrate nitrogen is more
quickly and readily available for
plant growth than ammonia nitro
gen, the latter somewhat resembling
in this respect the organic ammonI-
ates.
Favorable effects of top-dressing
with the nitrate-sulphate mixture
have been shown by results publish
ed in Georgia experiment station
bulletins 1870 and 1877.
In 1919 top-dressing mixture was
applied nine weeks after cotton was
granted, at rate of $50 pounds per
acre. Cotton yields under the various
treatments are shown below as
pounds seed cotton per acre:
Fertilizer, 500 pounds, 1913 per
acre; top-dressed, 1,460 pounds; not
top-dressed, S33 pounds.
No fertilizer top-dressed, $50
pounds; not top-dressed, 585 pounds.
Where 500 pounds complete ferti-
lizer was used per acre top-dresslng
gave Al per cent higher yields.
In 1920 more fertile soil was
used for the top-dressing test. The
top-dresser mixture was applied at
the rate of 125 pounds per acre seven
weeks after planting. The following
yields of seed cotton per acre were
obtained:
Fertilizer, 500 pounds. 1913 per
acre; top dressed, 1886 pounds; not
top-dressed, 1,15O pounds.
No fertilizer; top-dressed, 1,13O
pounds; not top-dressed, $50 pounds.
In connection with application Of
800 pounds per acre of complete
fertilizer the yield was increased 1874
per cent.
The results show that it is profit
able to apply top-dressers early or
about the time the first forms ap-
pear, under boil weevil conditions.

USING FERTILIZER As
SIDE APPLICATION
WILL De POPULAR

Reports coming to the staff of the
soil improvement committee is to the
effect that more farmers than usual
will apply fertilizers as side appli-
cations this year. At the regular
time of making purchases of this
material, a number of farmers felt
that the price was too high, so some
of them used very little or no fer
Now that the price is low again, in
dications are that these men who
have not yet planted will use some
fertilizers, while those who planted
without them will use this material
as side applications.
The soil improvement committee
feels that a warning should be eX-
tended to the farmer who intends to
apply fertilizers as a side applica-
ton under boil weevil conditions. In
this case, they should be applied
as quickly as possible so as not to
prolong the growth of the cotton
plant. Late growth gives the Weevil
a greater opportunity to destroy the
cotton 1t has been found as a gen.
eral practice that best results are
secured when the application is made
within six weeks after the cotton is
planted.
For corn, also, the application is
best results. Better yields of grain
are given when both the side appli-
cation of complete mixed materials
and the top dressing are made before
the plant punches to tassel. In the
sandy soil regions, the second ap-
plication of complete fertilizers
should be made before the corn is
waist high and the nitrogen top
dressing should be made before the
stalk punches to tassel. In the clay
loan regions, the application Of COM
plete fertilizers should be made when
the corn is about knee high and the
nitrogen top-dressing when it is from
waist to shoulder high.
Successful farmers have found
these methods to give paying re-
turns, and in view of the fact that
much fertilizer will be used for side
applications this year, it is Of i'm
portance that only the best methods
be used.

Harding's Proposal
For Disarmament
Will Be Accepted

WASHINGTON, April 26. - The
world is now nearer disarmament ne
gotiations than it has ever been, it
was believed here today in circles
close to the president.
This was based upon information
of administration leaders that Pres
ident Harding plans to propose an in
ternational disarmament conference
within a few months.
Their opinion was that the presi-
dents proposal will be eagerly ac-
cepted by the other great powers and
that a cessation of competitive naval
construction between Great Britain,
Japan and the United States will fol-
low.
The opinion was expressed by both
Republican and Democratic members
that if President Harding's disarm-
ament conference program includes
the submission of any form of the
question to congress here will not be
a negative vote in either house or
senate.
