GEORGIA WILL HAVE
TEXAS CATTLE BANK
BRANCH INSTITUTION WILL
ASSIST IN FINANCING NEW
INDUSTRY IN STATE.

VALDOSTA, Ga.-There is wide
spread interest being shown over
south Georgia III the announcement
that large Texas cattle bank has de-
termined to establish branch in the
state of Georgia for the purpose OF
assisting in financing the new cattle
industry.
Local bankers recently received COM
municationS from this bank, which has
unlimited financial resources and does
nothing else but finance cattle opera
tons, saying that in its opinion Geor-
gia would be the source of future cat
tie supplies for the nation. The hrm
said it has made a careful study OF
the cattle raising industry and finds
that no section of the union possesses
so many advantages for cattle growing
as does south Georgia.
1t is also stated that the cattle sup
ply in the United States is growing
RAPIDLY less every year, with the pos
sibility of its complete failure unless
new fields are opened up to the indus
try. 1t is stated that i'll the cattle sec
tons now so many of the drops are
sold for veal that the supply OF matur-
ed beef cattle offered for market will
give out in the next few years, or be-
come so scarce that there will be
great increase in the price.
This company is coming to Georgia
to place its resources at the, services
OF those reliable people, land owners
and others, who desire to engage ii
cattle growing for beef purposes. The
climate here is better for cattle thar
anywhere else, and the grazing is bet,
ter and more lasting, all of which
makes the industry more profitable
and for that reason this Texas concerr
has determined to do its share toward
promoting the industry and will place
all of its means behind such an enter
prise.

Top Dressing Cotton Early

For 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 40 parts sulphate of ammonia
and 90 parts nitrate of soda, and con-
tains approximately half its nitrogen
as nitrate and half as ammonia.
When plants obtain the nitrogen
from nitrate of soda an alkaline res
idue is left and in excessive amounts
this residue causes a pudding and in
jures the physical condition of the soil.
On the other hand absorption of nj
trogen from sulphate of ammonia
leaves an acid residue which may also
be Objectionable. By using mixture
of the two materials the alkaline and
acid residues combine, leaving a neu-
trail residue in the soil. Nitrate nj
trogen is more quickly and readily
available for plant growth than am
monia nitrogen, the latter somewhat
resembling in this respect the organic
ammoniates.
Favorable effects of topdressing with
the nitrate-sulph mixture have been
shown by results published in Georgia
Experiment Station bulletins 100 and
1877.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1921-05-03

In 1919 topdressing mixture was ap-
piled nine weeks after cotton was
planted, at rate of $50 pounds per acre.
Cotton yields under the various treat
ments are shown below as pounds seed
cotton per acre:
Not
Fertilizer Topdressed Topdressed
800 lbs. 1873 acre l,460 lbs. 1888 lbs
No fertilizer 900 5S5
Where 800 pounds complete fertili-
ger was used per acre topdressing gave
"A per cent higher yields.
In 1920 a more fertile soil was used
for the topdressing test. The topdress-
er mixture was applied at the rate OF
Us pounds per acre seven weeks at
ter planting. The following yields OF
seed cotton per acre were obtained:
Not
Fertilizer Topdressed Topdressed
800 lbs. 1873 acre 1855 l, d5O
No fertilizer 1850 $50
In connection with application OF
800 pounds per acre of a complete fer
tilizer the yield was increased 1874
per cent.
The results show that it is profitable
to apply topdressers early or about
the time the first forms appear, under
boil weevil conditions. F. H. SMITH,

IWINNECKE'S COMET
NEARS THE EARTH
SPECTACULAR METEOR SHOW
Err WILL ACCOMPANY V1SI-
TATION IN MAY OR JUNE.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-Winnecke's
comet, the periodic which, according
to DR.. Commelin, a British astrono-
mer, will approach very near to the
earth in June, is increasing gradually
in brightness, but is still much too
faint to be seen with the naked eye;
Word to this effect has been received
at the Harvard college observatory
from Prof. A. O. Leuschmer OF the
students observatory OF the Cnlver-
sity OF California at Berkeley, 1t was
learned on Saturday.
The comet will approach nearest TO
the sun on June IS, when its distance
from the sun will be nearly the same
as that of the earth, according to the
computations of Prof. Leuschmer::, The
exact distance from the sun will be
about. ninety-three million miles. g.,
The computations received here DID
not show how near the comet would
come to the earth, but astronomers RS
generally interpret the prediction OF
"very near" as meaning distance OF
millions of miles.

DORSEY HEARS OF
MORE. MOB VIOLENCE
SAYS SITUATION is VERY
BAD" IN SOUTHWEST GEOR-
GA COUNTY.

ATLANTA, Ga - Mob violence
against negroes in another Georgia
county was charged today when let
ter from the sheriff of county in
southwest Georgia was made public in
reply to one from Governor Dorsey
asking verihcation of charges that
three negroes had been lynched, one
an old negro woman who was thrown
into a creek and drowned.
Names were withheld at the capitol
pending an investigation into the sit
ration, which was said to have been
very bad" but has improved.
Believed to Be Baker County.
The race situation referred to by
Governor Dorsey is believed to be in
Baker county. Near Newton, the coun-
tv seat of that county, on March 4
Deputy Sheriff Oscar Mcdonald was
killed and Peter Watson, white
farmer, was wounded by negro. Nc
Donald died.
The story that developed at the
time was to the effect that Mcdonald
stopped thinner Anthony on highway
and asked him to do an errand. The
negro was alleged to have replied that
he was tired of being troubled with
white men," and pulling .3S calibre
pistol opened fire on Mcdonald.
That afternoon Watson and S. N.
Davis went to the latter's farm to look
at swine, when Watson was shot from
ambush. The shooting occurred as
Watson approached the gate leading
to the home of a negro woman.
The authorities believed that An
thony was responsible for both shoot
ings Next day Will Anderson, ne
gro, was seized by a posse who be-
lieved he knew the Whereabouts of An
thony. They were taking him away
when this posse met another posse.
Apparently Anderson feared that he
was to be lynched, for the officers stat
ed that he broke and ran. He was shot
and killed.
The posses under the sheriffs OF
Mitchell Baker and Decatur counties
continued the man hunt for several
days, but failed to capture Anthony.

There was more music and more

1t was time for the "kiss of life,
and Juan was ready.
So was Juanita. She held in one

The music was soft, disturbed only
by the bleating of the Nanny goat
whose only child was sizzling on the
altar, sacrifice to the god OF love.

THE ST. lawrence SEAWAY

We of the Calumet Region ought TO be
sold entirely on the st. Lawrence Sea
way proposition. because IN the event of
tho "Iliana" Harbor becoming an estab-
lished fact. the proposed St Lawrence
waterway is the logical commercial and
engineering choice for a way to the
sea that would he administered by
Joint Canadian and American control.
Now New York interests have an al
ternate scheme. They suggest an all
American canal from the Great Lakes
to the Ocean. and superfcially being all
American. it naturally seems very much
more preferable TO the American pub
lie. This scheme Is being backed by
a considerable amount Of propaganda
literature. Good honest citizens of this

erature like the Kaiser treated his trea~
~ obligations with Belgium at the out

common sense route. they want 10 sub
stitute one that would contain nearly
five times as much restricted channel
as the St Lawrence waterway. more
than five times the number OF locks, ana
one which would add q distance Of al
NOSE five hundred miles TO the journey
between the lake ports and say. such a
port as Liverpool or LIE Havre.
Then this route would play the very
dickens with our relations with Canada.
The unfortided border that at present
exists between US and our Northern
neighbors stands as one of the worlds
greatest monuments to civilization.
Such a canal as the New York inter
ests propose. in the face OF its impos-
sibilities from an engineering and com
mercia1 viewpoint. is bound to awaken
mistrust in the breasts of our Canadian
neighbors. Fortihcations along the
Great Lakes would be the logical re
suit. Heaven and public opinion in tho
Middle-west forbid that.
The only reasonable proposition is tho
St. Lawrence route and although we do
feel II is bound TO come eventually. the
more it IS delayed by the pressure com
ing from the New York interests, the
greater is the loss to the Calumet Reg
ion
