BROTHERHOOD CHIEFS
HOLD FIRST CONFERENCE.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 18.-lBy As
sociated Press The chiefs Of the
"Big Five" railroad organizations
convened here today for their first
conference since authorizing the ma
tion-wide strike in Chicago last Sat
urday 1t was announced that gem
eral plans for conducting the strike
would be discussed, but whether any
question Of outstanding Importance
has presented itself was not stated.
The strike, scheduled to begin Oc-
tober so, can be settled by the rail-
roads or prevented by the govern
ment, Warren S. Stone, president Of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi
neers, said when asked his opinion Of
the situation.
Mr. Stone said the cause of the
strike is largely because of the action
of the railroad managers in request
ing a further 10 per cent wage reduc-
ton and the elimination of favorable
working agreements on upwards Of
seyenty-five roads, in addition to the
II per cent wage reduction, which
went into effect July |. The rail-
roads can settle the strike by the
elimination of these conditions Mr..
Stone said
THE government can prevent the
strike by taking ever the railroads..
and this is what will happen even-
tuaily," Mr. Stone said. He also is
sued a formal statement covering the
mems position and their reasons for
striking
In a signed statement, Mr.. Stone
set forth the reasons for the Big

ship. Mr. Stones statement follows:

sons for striking are in part al

RELIGION

The religion of prehistoric man
was, on general lines, not much diff
ferent from that of civilized man of
!. today, saws Professor Manage, lee
Sturer of the French Catholic Insti-
tute, Paris.
The difference is largely in express
sion and in ability to conceive the
tremendous power of the God behind
all creation.
When man first grasped the idea of
a God he emerged from the animal
state When he casts it off, he re-
yerts to the animal order, in morals
which are the foundations of all
civilization.

VALUE OF COTTON
SEED AS Fertilizer
Seed for Fertilizers Not Eco
nOmic, Says Authority.

Atlanta, Ga. - February. - It would
be a mistake to use cotton seed as
fertilizer, as some farmers are talking
OF doing, according to j. N. Harper.
several years in experiment station
work in the South, and now director OF
the Soil Improvement Committee. Con.
tinuing he says:
1T would be mistake for two rea-
sons: First, the South would be de-
prived of great wealth producing
substance-cottonseed oil: and Sec
ond, cotton seed are not the best form
of fertilizer to apply.
"On the first point, while it is un-
fortunate that the vegetable oil market
is off and the oil miller cannot offer
what the seed are really worth, it is
better to accept what the miller can
afford to give than to allow the oil to
be destroyed when It Is needed so
much especially in starving Europe. !.
ITO use cotton seed as a fertilizer
is to throw away the oil of the seed,
for oil Is not plant food; in fact, it is
believed that It will retard plant
growth.
Cotton seed contain plant food, but
when the seed are applied, it is not
possible to scatter 1t 80 as to feed
the crop properly. It puts the plant
food on the land in Jumps as repre-
sented by the seed.
1T takes the seed long time to
decay and become plant food. In fact,
no great amount of the plant food In
cotton seed is ever actually used by
the crop. AS evidence of this, we cite
Farmers Bulletin 2S6 of the United
States Department of Agriculture, page
g. from which we quote: The seeds
are incased in hulls which must de-
cay before the crop can utilize the
plant food in them, and the kernels
contain oil which is supposed to retard
their decomposition, so that consider
able moisture Is required to decompose
the seed and make available the plant
food. In case of very dry season,
1t does not become available fast
enough to supply the crop, and no
doubt portion of it fails to become
available until after the crop natures
"A table on page 9 Of this bulletin
shows that a difference of 303 lbs.
OF seed cotton per acre In favor OF
cotton seed meal as compared with
cotton seed, was obtained In test
where twice as much cotton seed was
used as meal.
South Carolina Experiment Station
tests and tests of four other southern
states show that a pound of a well
balanced mixed fertilizer will produce
q pound and more of seed cotton. A
test in Alabama shows that it took
pounds of cotton seed to produce
pound of seed cotton.

ers, there is no doubt that it will
